In this week's MBA Admissions podcast we began by discussing the current state of the MBA admissions season. Last week, admissions decisions rolled out for several top MBA programs including Harvard, Stanford, UPenn / Wharton, MIT / Sloan and Northwestern / Kellogg. This upcoming week, USC / Marshall, Rice / Jones, Texas / McCombs, UNC / Kenan Flagler, Vanderbilt / Owen and Washington / Foster are scheduled to release their Round 1 decisions. The next livestream AMA with Graham and Alex is scheduled for this Tuesday, December 16th; here's the link to Clear Admit's YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/cayoutubelive. Last week Clear Admit livestreamed its first Decision Day Watch Party. We scheduled this for December 10, when several top MBA programs were scheduled to release their Round 1 decisions. Several admissions officers joined us for the event, and it was a huge success. Graham highlighted a recently published Financial Times 2025 ranking of European business schools that ranks institutions across multiple programs (MBA, MiM, EMBA, and Executive Education), rather than individual programs, which we thought was a strange approach. Graham noted several admissions-related pieces of content recently published on Clear Admit. The first focuses on how to choose between MBA programs, once you have your offers. The second focuses on the dreaded wait list, and what steps can be taken. The third article looks at how candidates who didn't get positive results can reflect. The final admissions-related piece focuses on MBA essay construction, which led to a conversation about how best to use Clear Admit's AI Chat Bot. Graham highlighted two Real Humans pieces spotlighting students from Chicago / Booth and Emory / Goizueta. We then discussed the recently published employment reports from Stanford and NYU / Stern. Finally, Graham profiled a podcast that focuses on The Forté Foundation. For this week, for the candidate profile review portion of the show, Alex selected three ApplyWire entries. This week's first MBA admissions candidate is from Brazil but now resides in Chicago. They are looking at the Booth part-time MBA program. A potential concern is their 313 GRE score. This week's second MBA applicant is working in research, looking at the impact of tech on young people. They reside in New York City and are only looking at Columbia and Stern. This week's final MBA candidate has a strong professional background, transitioning from investment banking to private equity. They have a 3.8 GPA and a 325 GRE score. This episode was recorded in Paris, France and Cornwall, England. It was produced and engineered by the fabulous Dennis Crowley in Philadelphia, USA. Thanks to all of you who've been joining us and please remember to rate and review this show wherever you listen!

Three visions of darkness as the days draw in. Adam Rutherford's guests for Radio 4's Monday discussion programme are a poet, a photographer of night-time and a National Gallery curator. Night Vision is the latest book from the award-winning poet and writer Jean Sprackland exploring our complex relationship with the dark: what we fear and what we wish to banish. In the dark she finds a place of possibility and she asks what might we discover in the dark if we free our imagination. The photographer Jasper Goodall has been taking photographs in the dark for many years, mainly in forests and woodlands. In 2025 in exhibitions on show at Nottingham, Brighton, Cornwall and the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition he has displayed works which draw on classical myth, European folklore and animistic belief systems. Christine Riding, Director of Collections and Research, talks about the images of scientific experiment and industrialisation in England on show in the National Gallery's exhibition showcasing the candlelight paintings of Wright of Derby (1734-1797). Wright of Derby: From the Shadows in the Sunley Room at the National Gallery runs until 10 May 2026 and there is an entrance fee. Producer: Ruth Watts

Lydia Oldham didn't come from a traditional ultrarunning background. She started running during lockdown — running 1 mile runs, sprinting every 5K, and having no idea she'd one day be creating 300-mile running projects across countries.In this episode, Lydia breaks down how she built herself into someone capable of taking on massive, self-created challenges — including running solo across Portugal, completing a solo Speed Project, and most recently running 300 miles from London to Cornwall for charity.But this conversation isn't just about distance.It's about courage, self-belief, creativity, and redefining what's possible when you stop waiting for permission.We dive into:How Lydia went from struggling through short runs to creating multi-day ultrarunning projectsWhy self-created challenges can be more powerful than racesThe mindset shift that helped her stop fearing failureHow she mentally navigates dark moments during 300-mile effortsWhy enjoying your runs matters more than “grinding”How storytelling gives meaning to hard effortsWhy you don't need elite talent to do extraordinary thingsIf you've ever thought:“Could I do something bigger… or is that not for me?”This episode will change how you think about your limits — and what you're capable of building over time.SHOW LINKS:Register for our race, The Desert Peak Ultra 100K + 50K at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠desertpeakultra.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Want to work with me to crush your next ultramarathon in our group coaching program?

In this episode of What Went Wrong, I chatted with Tim Bronson, the Fully Booked Coach, who came armed with not one but two “what went wrong” tales. Both are a little painful, a little funny, and packed with lessons marketers can actually use. First, there was the podcast that wasn't. Back in 2008, Tim marched into a music store, dropped a grand on shiny equipment he didn't understand, then promptly lost his nerve when it didn't work. Without a clear plan or patience for the learning curve, he packed it up and walked away before ever recording a single episode. Fast-forward to 2019, and Tim's book relaunch hit another snag. Following advice to line up 50 reviews at launch, he asked 50 people for help, assumed their polite “yes” meant they'd actually deliver, and stopped there. The result? Not nearly enough momentum to push the book up the Amazon charts. Two very different mistakes, but the themes are familiar to anyone who's ever launched…well, anything. Impulse without preparation. Expectations without math. Starting strong but not following through. Key Points Success takes more than enthusiasm. Without a plan, even the best ideas fizzle. Technology and tactics get easier, but the discipline of sticking with it never changes. People will say “yes” to be nice. That's not the same as showing up. Momentum matters. Half-measures rarely hit tipping points. Actionable Takeaways Do the prep work. Before buying tools or chasing tactics, get clear on what you're building and why. Scale your numbers. If you need 50 reviews, ask 150. If you want 100 sign-ups, plan for 1,000 invites. Build in the buffer. Stick with it. The first version is always messy. Resist the urge to abandon ship before giving yourself time to learn. Don't stop too soon. Momentum compounds—keep pushing even after you think you've done “enough.” Ask for help. Whether it's a tech-savvy friend or a launch-savvy strategist, outside perspective can save you time and money. In short? Marketing isn't about never making mistakes—it's about making them, learning fast, and not letting them be the end of the story.

This podcast is me reading a little book I put out earlier this year: CANADA IS AWESOME It's an audio book about all the weird, wonderful, beautiful things that make Canada ... Canada. Did you ever notice Canadians speak in the collective? "What do you think of the weather we're having?" "Shall we grab a Timmy's before the meeting?" "Think we have a shot at the playoffs?" We, we, we. We use the word we so much. Why do we feel like such a collective? I don't think it's complicated. I think it's because we are one. We all toss around half of everything we make into a big glass jar and use it to pay for everyone's health care, education, and services. Sure, the system's never perfect, but if you shatter your ankle in an icy Canadian Tire parking lot, need a dozen years of free school for five kids in Kamloops, or want to drive on freshly snowplowed roads from Comox to Cornwall to Cape Spear, well ... we got you. We got you. We got everyone. This is a different type of book than I've done before—in addition to this audiobook (totally free, right here) I also posted in its entirety on my blog (totally free) in HTML and PDF: HTML: https://www.neil.blog/canada-is-awesome PDF: https://www.neil.blog/s/NP_CIA_wCOVER.pdf I also made a 78-page, bright red, self-published hardcover (with colour photos) and paperback (available on Prime, but black and white photos.) HARDCOVER: https://a.co/d/8vjssD3 PAPERBACK: https://a.co/d/aCYDAh6 I made these books at cost so the price you see on your local Amazon page is the same as it costs me to make them.  This book was designed by a Canadian in Ottawa (​Steve St. Pierre​) and the audio and video edited by a Canadian in Toronto (​Dave Boire​), and even the T-shirt I'm wearing in the YouTube video was designed and manufactured by a Canadian in Toronto (​Daniel Torjman​), who was also a past guest on the pod: https://www.3books.co/chapters/94 If you're Canadian I hope this holiday season this books help you feel pride in who we are. If you're not Canadian, I hope this helps you see Canada a little clearer. Maybe it will inspire you to visit ... or to move here! (My hood is filling up with Americans like mad these days.)  Flip this on for your long road trip and let's let ourselves get inspired by what's possible when grit, determination, and kindness come together across culture and language. Let's reflect on shared goals of spending time with loved ones, hitting best-in-world education rates, and, of course, kicking back by the lake with a Moosehead and a bowl of ketchup chips. This is a piece of writing close to my heart and something I have been working on for over a decade. I hope you like it.  And, if you do, share it with someone else.  Happy holidays, eh!  Neil

Where will Francis in Swansea and Colin in Cornwall play their Jokers?

Welcome to an extraordinary edition of the Takin’ A Walk podcast from Buzz Knight music and the “Master of Music Mayhem,” Harry Jacobs. This comprehensive look at weekly music history explores one of the most emotionally complex weeks in rock and roll history, spanning December 8th through December 14th. From tragic losses to groundbreaking debuts, this week encompasses the full spectrum of music history’s most pivotal moments. John Lennon’s Assassination: December 8, 1980 - A Day That Changed Music Forever The episode opens with perhaps the darkest day in rock music history: December 8, 1980, when John Lennon was shot and killed outside The Dakota apartment building in New York City. Buzz Knight and Harry Jacobs provide intimate personal recollections of this Beatles tragedy that shocked the world. For listeners of this weekly music history episode note the Buzz Knight music podcast replay of "Takin A Walk" with the incredible Julian Lennon. The Beatles Reunion: Free as a Bird and the Anthology Era Moving from tragedy to reunion, the episode explores December 9, 1995, when the Beatles released “Free as a Bird”—the first new Beatles music in 24 years. Both hosts were working together at WZLX in Boston during this momentous release, bringing their firsthand perspective to this Beatles reunion moment. The track, built around a John Lennon demo with contributions from Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr, represented a technological and emotional achievement in music history. Harry admits his initial underwhelm with the track, noting that while “Free as a Bird” generated enormous curiosity worldwide, it never achieved the status of Beatles classics like “Ticket to Ride,” “Help!,” or songs from Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. The honest assessment reflects how even beloved artists can struggle to recapture past magic, and both hosts acknowledge they haven’t revisited the song since its release. This candid discussion provides valuable context for understanding fan expectations versus artistic reality in music reunion projects. The Blues Brothers Phenomenon: From Saturday Night Live to Cultural Institution December 9, 1978 marks the Saturday Night Live debut of the Blues Brothers, a moment that transformed comedy sketch into legitimate musical force. The episode provides deep insights into how Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi created this blues and R&B supergroup, enlisting Paul Shaffer, Lou Marini, Duck Dunn, and Steve Cropper, who just passed away—the latter two being legendary members of Booker T. and the MGs and key figures in the Stax Records sound that defined Memphis soul music and produced classics like “Soul Man” and “Green Onions.” Howard Shore, who served as Saturday Night Live’s musical director, recognized the potential in Aykroyd and Belushi’s blues performances and helped facilitate their transition from comedy bit to recording artists. The hosts discuss how this comedy-music crossover assembled world-class musicians around a satirical concept that became genuinely respected in the music community. The Blues Brothers represented a unique fusion of comedy and music that introduced younger audiences to blues legends and R&B classics. The conversation explores Tom “Bones” Malone, a guest on Buzz’s podcast, who joined the Blues Brothers band and played trombone with Blood, Sweat & Tears before becoming part of the SNL band. The episode details the evolution of the band from initial concept to full touring and recording entity, with Buzz noting the impressive live performances featuring the Blues Brothers’ acrobatic stage show, where the larger-than-life Belushi performed cartwheels, splits, and handstands that would later inspire Chris Farley’s physical comedy style. The Blues Brothers soundtrack, featuring “Briefcase Full of Blues” and subsequent albums, has “stood the test of time” according to both hosts. Songs like “Rubber Biscuit,” performed with Matt “Guitar” Murphy, and the memorable Aretha Franklin diner scene where Jake orders “four fried chickens and a Coke,” remain embedded in popular culture. The authentic musicianship combined with comedic brilliance created something that transcended both genres, making the Blues Brothers a permanent fixture in American music history. Otis Redding’s Legacy and Tragic Death: December 10, 1967 The episode takes a somber turn with December 10, 1967, the day Otis Redding died in a plane crash near Madison, Wisconsin, along with members of the Bar-Kays. The timing of this tragedy magnifies its impact—Redding had recorded ”(Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay” just three days earlier, and the song hadn’t yet been released. The track became a posthumous number-one hit, cementing Redding’s status as one of soul music’s greatest artists, though he never lived to see its success. Wings Over America: McCartney’s Epic Live Album - December 10, 1976 December 10, 1976 brought the release of Wings Over America, Paul McCartney’s triple live album documenting his 1975-1976 tour with Wings. The episode explores the rarity of triple albums in music history, particularly live albums of such scope and ambition. The hosts discuss the bootleg album called “Wings from Wings” that allegedly forced McCartney’s hand, rushing the official release to market before bootleggers could dominate sales. Harry reveals the meticulous production process behind Wings Over America, noting that McCartney collected 8,000 hours of live recordings from the tour. The legendary Beatles bassist and singer then personally mixed the album, listening to five different versions of every song before selecting the best performances. The final album was crafted to sound like a single concert experience, though it actually represented the best moments culled from the entire tour—a production approach that set standards for live albums. The episode highlights how “Maybe I’m Amazed” from this album became the definitive version for many fans, surpassing even the studio recording in emotional power and musical execution. The album also featured several Beatles songs including “Yesterday” and “Bluebird,” allowing McCartney to honor his past while showcasing his post-Beatles work with Wings. This balance between Beatles nostalgia and new material demonstrated McCartney’s artistic evolution while satisfying longtime fans. Early Genesis and Progressive Rock Evolution December 11, 1972 saw Genesis release “Foxtrot,” their fifth studio album and a landmark in progressive rock history. The episode explores this Peter Gabriel-era Genesis and the band’s evolution through various lineups. Harry recalls “Watcher of the Skies” as a standout track, while both hosts discuss later Genesis classics like “The Carpet Crawlers” from “The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway.” The conversation reveals differing perspectives on Genesis eras, with Buzz preferring the Peter Gabriel period and later Phil Collins-fronted work, while Harry admits his fandom developed more during the “Trick of the Tail” era following Gabriel’s departure. This honest exchange reflects how progressive rock bands often created distinct identities across lineup changes, appealing to different audiences in different eras. Buzz shares a memorable concert experience seeing Genesis with double drumming featuring Phil Collins and Bill Bruford (renowned for his work with Yes and King Crimson). This unique configuration represented Genesis at a transitional moment, experimenting with expanded instrumentation before settling into the trio format that would define their later commercial success. The “Trick of the Tail” tour demonstrated the band’s ability to continue without their iconic frontman, eventually leading to Collins taking over lead vocals permanently. The episode takes an unexpected turn to December 12, 1901, when Guglielmo Marconi sent the first transatlantic radio signal from Cornwall to Newfoundland. This moment in broadcasting history laid the foundation for everything that followed, including the careers of Buzz and Harry as radio professionals. Harry jokes about Buzz working for Marconi in 1901, highlighting the self-deprecating humor that characterizes their chemistry while acknowledging that without Marconi’s invention, they would never have met or built careers in radio. This historical perspective reminds listeners that music distribution, radio broadcasting, and the entire infrastructure of modern music industry traces back to pioneering moments like Marconi’s transmission. The evolution of radio technology from those first signals to contemporary podcast production represents over a century of innovation that transformed how humans experience and share music globally. The Clash’s London Calling: Punk’s Masterpiece - December 14, 1979 December 14, 1979 saw the Clash release “London Calling” in the UK, a double album that transcended punk rock limitations to incorporate reggae, rockabilly, ska, and R&B influences. The hosts recall the album’s innovative approach, including the hidden track “Train in Vain,” which became a hit despite not being listed on the original album cover—a marketing trick that created mystique and rewarded attentive listeners.

In this week's MBA Admissions podcast we began by discussing the current state of the MBA admissions season. Last week, admissions decisions rolled out for several top MBA programs including Yale SOM, CMU / Tepper, Chicago / Booth and Michigan / Ross. This upcoming week, MIT / Sloan, Harvard, Stanford, UPenn / Wharton, Northwestern / Kellogg, UVA / Darden, Georgetown / McDonough, Johns Hopkins / Carey, Berkeley / Haas, Dartmouth / Tuck, Duke / Fuqua, UCLA / Anderson, Notre Dame / Mendoza and Arizona / Carey are scheduled to release their Round 1 decisions. Graham highlighted a webinar event focused on MBA career paths, scheduled for Thursday. Signups are here: https://www.clearadmit.com/events The next livestream AMA is scheduled for Tuesday, December 16th; here's the link to Clear Admit's YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/cayoutubelive. Graham noted several admissions-related pieces of content recently published on Clear Admit. The first focuses on December admissions events being hosted by top MBA programs. The second looks at how best to manage the congested schedule of Round 2 MBA application deadlines that arrive in January. The third piece looks at some of the issues related to applying to b-school as a younger candidate. The final article dives into whether deferred MBA admissions is a good pathway for undergraduate students. Graham highlighted a Real Humans piece spotlighting students from Berkeley / Haas, and then we discussed the recently published Harvard Business School employment report for the Class of 2025. This led to a discussion on search funds. Finally, Graham profiled a soon-to-be published podcast that focuses on leadership, from a conversation with Texas / McCombs. For this week, for the candidate profile review portion of the show, Alex selected three ApplyWire entries: This week's first MBA admissions candidate has a 685 GMAT score. They applied to programs in the first round and subsequently have started a new experience in Africa. We discuss their options for this season versus next season. This week's second MBA applicant is a military candidate with a master's in computer science. They applied in Round 1 with an EA score of 160. They may decide to apply to Sloan in Round 2, depending on results. This week's final MBA candidate has a 333 GRE score and has had several startup experiences. They are targeting Harvard, Stanford and Wharton. This episode was recorded in Paris, France and Cornwall, England. It was produced and engineered by the fabulous Dennis Crowley in Philadelphia, USA.

In today's conversation, I'm delighted to welcome Cynthia for the very first of our new community-centred episodes. Instead of traditional, more formal interviews, these gatherings invite you to sit with us as friends would, following curiosity, truth, and a little everyday enchantment wherever it wants to flow.I've never spoken one-to-one with Cynthia before, and what unfolded was a deeply honest exploration of intuition, leaving religion, finding your own path, and reclaiming magick as a way of being in the world.This episode is a tapestry of personal story, insight, humour, and the kind of grounded witchcraft that makes the mundane shimmer.In this episode, we explore:1. Cynthia's powerful journey from evangelical Christianity to witchcraftRaised in a religious environment, Cynthia shares how early doubts, motherhood, and profound family experiences began to untangle her from doctrine and move her toward a more authentic spiritual life. Her father's passing opened a deep reckoning about meaning, purpose, and the life she did not want to live.2. The moment she realised: “I think I might be a witch”From the heart-pounding purchase of her first witchcraft book to recognising lifelong intuitive experiences, Cynthia describes the extraordinary relief of naming what had always been quietly true.3. Intuition as a knowing beyond sightWe explore the nature of intuition, not as voices or visions but as a bone-deep knowing that often speaks before logic catches up. We share personal stories of “turn left instead” moments that proved profoundly important later.I also share how becoming a person of your word strengthens intuition and why not everything needs to be “proved” in order to be honoured.4. Religion, trauma, and the fear of a masculine godCynthia speaks openly about the harm created by the religious masculinity she was raised with and the difficulty of allowing masculine energy in again. We explore a re-framing of masculine and feminine energies as archetypal and relational rather than gendered, hierarchical, or punitive.5. Magick as relationship, not ritualI share stories from my childhood in Cornwall, early magickal encounters, and how nature has always spoken to me. I also describe my priestess training, misconceptions around deities, and why I see gods and goddesses not as authorities but as beings in relationship and reciprocity.6. The importance of community and ritual in a post-religious worldTogether, we explore what is lost when people leave religion: not the dogma, but the communal rhythm, the shared practices, and the rituals that hold us during life's thresholds. We talk about how magick can restore this sense of grounding through conscious pauses, seasonal rituals, and connection to the land.7. Everyday magick in actionFrom enchanted stones to unexpected conversations at the front door of a courthouse, Cynthia shows how magick moves through the seemingly ordinary moments of life, opening paths of service, compassion, and courage.8. Saying no, wintering, and reclaiming your own paceWe close with a reminder that witchcraft honours cycles. Sometimes magick asks us to act, sometimes to rest. Unlike religious systems rooted in constant servitude, witchcraft grants permission to protect your energy and honour your own seasons.Why this episode mattersThis conversation is a lantern for anyone who is:deconstructing old beliefsexperiencing intuitive awakeningscraving community without dogmawanting a magick that is lived, not performedrebuilding trust in themselvesseeking an approach to spirituality grounded in the land, the body, and everyday lifeIt's vulnerable, warm, wise, and deeply human. The kind of conversation that used to happen around kitchen tables or late at night with friends who “get it.”Join the conversationIf you'd like to come on the show and share your own story or ask me your questions in real time, send a message on Instagram or drop me an email.

DEFENDANT: Tori Amos EVIDENCE: Cloud Watcher California Red Blend SCENE OF THE CRIME: "The Finest Vineyards in California"  -- Hey friend — welcome to the chaos: we opened a grocery-store red called Cloud Watcher (hello, green-pepper nose and dark-plum cocoa vibes), wrestled over a billion points in Corrections Corner, and brought our dog Hermes along to supervise. We sip, we sigh, and we trade childhood-cloud stories while debating whether cloud-watching is relaxing or suspiciously boring.    Then things get deliciously melodic because our “defendant” today is Tori Amos. We peel back her origin story — piano prodigy at Peabody, early L.A. band experiments, exile to the UK, and the piano-driven masterpiece Little Earthquakes — and run through highlights from Choirgirl Hotel to Boys for Pele, Night of Hunters and beyond. There's talk of kazoo deep cuts, mood rings, curly hair aesthetics, and why Tori's lyrics made us fall in love with poetry all over again.   Of course we couldn't resist a game: a twelve-question cross-examination where we read lyrics and guessed whether they were Tori or Not-Tori. There were surprises (Fiona Apple, Tracy Chapman, The Cranberries), triumphant wins, a couple of tequila—I mean wine—sips for wrong answers, and a lot of nostalgic 90s energy. You'll hear about favorite songs (Crucify gets a special shout), concert memories, and how husband, Fact Checker and our little group fit into the Tori fandom saga.   Gossip alert: we dive into the messy 90s drama — Trent Reznor, Courtney Love, and the career fallout that left some fans scribbling love and hate in equal measure. We don't shy away from the heavy stuff either: there's a frank moment about trauma, loss, and how those themes weave through Tori's music.   Between parenthetical jokes about Publix ads, soup-watching disasters, and a recurring helicopter/hematite-cloud dream, this episode is equal parts nerdy music-nerd history and cozy chat over a $10 bottle that punches way above its price. We also bouquet in a little wanderlust — Cornwall homes, haunted castles, and the dream of living like older, well-rested rich people with perfect towels and fireplaces in every room.   So pour a glass, settle in, and listen for the lyric-guessing triumphs, the wardrobe nostalgia (yep, we reunited with our high-school T-shirts), and the way Tori's songs keep looping back into our weird little lives. If you're a Tori obsessive, an accidental listener, or just here to find out whether that wine is worth a splurge — welcome, you're home.

Welcome to an extraordinary edition of the Takin’ A Walk podcast with host Buzz Knight and the self-proclaimed “Master of Music Mayhem,” Harry Jacobs. This comprehensive music history podcast episode explores one of the most emotionally complex weeks in rock and roll history, spanning December 8th through December 14th. From tragic losses to groundbreaking debuts, this week encompasses the full spectrum of music history’s most pivotal moments. John Lennon’s Assassination: December 8, 1980 - A Day That Changed Music Forever The episode opens with perhaps the darkest day in rock music history: December 8, 1980, when John Lennon was shot and killed outside The Dakota apartment building in New York City. Buzz Knight and Harry Jacobs provide intimate personal recollections of this Beatles tragedy that shocked the world. The Beatles Reunion: Free as a Bird and the Anthology Era Moving from tragedy to reunion, the episode explores December 9, 1995, when the Beatles released “Free as a Bird”—the first new Beatles music in 24 years. Both hosts were working together at WZLX in Boston during this momentous release, bringing their firsthand perspective to this Beatles reunion moment. The track, built around a John Lennon demo with contributions from Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr, represented a technological and emotional achievement in music history. Harry admits his initial underwhelm with the track, noting that while “Free as a Bird” generated enormous curiosity worldwide, it never achieved the status of Beatles classics like “Ticket to Ride,” “Help!,” or songs from Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. The honest assessment reflects how even beloved artists can struggle to recapture past magic, and both hosts acknowledge they haven’t revisited the song since its release. This candid discussion provides valuable context for understanding fan expectations versus artistic reality in music reunion projects. The Blues Brothers Phenomenon: From Saturday Night Live to Cultural Institution December 9, 1978 marks the Saturday Night Live debut of the Blues Brothers, a moment that transformed comedy sketch into legitimate musical force. The episode provides deep insights into how Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi created this blues and R&B supergroup, enlisting Paul Shaffer, Lou Marini, Duck Dunn, and Steve Cropper, who just passed away—the latter two being legendary members of Booker T. and the MGs and key figures in the Stax Records sound that defined Memphis soul music and produced classics like “Soul Man” and “Green Onions.” Howard Shore, who served as Saturday Night Live’s musical director, recognized the potential in Aykroyd and Belushi’s blues performances and helped facilitate their transition from comedy bit to recording artists. The hosts discuss how this comedy-music crossover assembled world-class musicians around a satirical concept that became genuinely respected in the music community. The Blues Brothers represented a unique fusion of comedy and music that introduced younger audiences to blues legends and R&B classics. The conversation explores Tom “Bones” Malone, a guest on Buzz’s podcast, who joined the Blues Brothers band and played trombone with Blood, Sweat & Tears before becoming part of the SNL band. The episode details the evolution of the band from initial concept to full touring and recording entity, with Buzz noting the impressive live performances featuring the Blues Brothers’ acrobatic stage show, where the larger-than-life Belushi performed cartwheels, splits, and handstands that would later inspire Chris Farley’s physical comedy style. The Blues Brothers soundtrack, featuring “Briefcase Full of Blues” and subsequent albums, has “stood the test of time” according to both hosts. Songs like “Rubber Biscuit,” performed with Matt “Guitar” Murphy, and the memorable Aretha Franklin diner scene where Jake orders “four fried chickens and a Coke,” remain embedded in popular culture. The authentic musicianship combined with comedic brilliance created something that transcended both genres, making the Blues Brothers a permanent fixture in American music history. Otis Redding’s Legacy and Tragic Death: December 10, 1967 The episode takes a somber turn with December 10, 1967, the day Otis Redding died in a plane crash near Madison, Wisconsin, along with members of the Bar-Kays. The timing of this tragedy magnifies its impact—Redding had recorded ”(Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay” just three days earlier, and the song hadn’t yet been released. The track became a posthumous number-one hit, cementing Redding’s status as one of soul music’s greatest artists, though he never lived to see its success. Wings Over America: McCartney’s Epic Live Album - December 10, 1976 December 10, 1976 brought the release of Wings Over America, Paul McCartney’s triple live album documenting his 1975-1976 tour with Wings. The episode explores the rarity of triple albums in music history, particularly live albums of such scope and ambition. The hosts discuss the bootleg album called “Wings from Wings” that allegedly forced McCartney’s hand, rushing the official release to market before bootleggers could dominate sales. Harry reveals the meticulous production process behind Wings Over America, noting that McCartney collected 8,000 hours of live recordings from the tour. The legendary Beatles bassist and singer then personally mixed the album, listening to five different versions of every song before selecting the best performances. The final album was crafted to sound like a single concert experience, though it actually represented the best moments culled from the entire tour—a production approach that set standards for live albums. The episode highlights how “Maybe I’m Amazed” from this album became the definitive version for many fans, surpassing even the studio recording in emotional power and musical execution. The album also featured several Beatles songs including “Yesterday” and “Bluebird,” allowing McCartney to honor his past while showcasing his post-Beatles work with Wings. This balance between Beatles nostalgia and new material demonstrated McCartney’s artistic evolution while satisfying longtime fans. Early Genesis and Progressive Rock Evolution December 11, 1972 saw Genesis release “Foxtrot,” their fifth studio album and a landmark in progressive rock history. The episode explores this Peter Gabriel-era Genesis and the band’s evolution through various lineups. Harry recalls “Watcher of the Skies” as a standout track, while both hosts discuss later Genesis classics like “The Carpet Crawlers” from “The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway.” The conversation reveals differing perspectives on Genesis eras, with Buzz preferring the Peter Gabriel period and later Phil Collins-fronted work, while Harry admits his fandom developed more during the “Trick of the Tail” era following Gabriel’s departure. This honest exchange reflects how progressive rock bands often created distinct identities across lineup changes, appealing to different audiences in different eras. Buzz shares a memorable concert experience seeing Genesis with double drumming featuring Phil Collins and Bill Bruford (renowned for his work with Yes and King Crimson). This unique configuration represented Genesis at a transitional moment, experimenting with expanded instrumentation before settling into the trio format that would define their later commercial success. The “Trick of the Tail” tour demonstrated the band’s ability to continue without their iconic frontman, eventually leading to Collins taking over lead vocals permanently. The episode takes an unexpected turn to December 12, 1901, when Guglielmo Marconi sent the first transatlantic radio signal from Cornwall to Newfoundland. This moment in broadcasting history laid the foundation for everything that followed, including the careers of Buzz and Harry as radio professionals. Harry jokes about Buzz working for Marconi in 1901, highlighting the self-deprecating humor that characterizes their chemistry while acknowledging that without Marconi’s invention, they would never have met or built careers in radio.

Some hauntings linger in old stone houses. Others cling to attics, staircases, or forgotten rooms. But every so often, a haunting chooses a person—and once it does, it doesn't seem interested in letting go. For Sarah, the first encounter came before she even understood the concept of a ghost: a man sitting on the staircase of her family's 400-year-old mining house in Cornwall, two dogs quietly at his side. Solid. Present. Silent. She stepped around him as casually as a child walks past a family member. Only later did she realize no one else ever saw him. Touches. Lights. Migraines. Names spoken in her mind. Objects vanishing. Spirits confirmed by mediums who knew nothing of her experiences. And everywhere she went, the same unnerving feeling: She was being noticed. We explore the unsettling possibility that the haunting was never tied to a place at all…but to Sarah herself. #HauntedLife #SensitiveToSpirits #CornwallGhosts #ParanormalExperiences #LivingWithGhosts #ParanormalActivity #SpiritualAttachment #GhostEncounters #HauntedSinceChildhood #ShadowWatchers  Love real ghost stories?

We unpack the real calculations behind that decision—from inheritance tax worries and wage inflation to VAT shocks and the tightening margins that push many principals to the brink. Dan Klein, owner of Hive Accountancy in Cornwall, joins us to share what he's seeing across hundreds of dental clients: frustration is real, but so are the misconceptions about relocation and tax.We dive into why the “move and save” story is often oversold. There's no overnight fix; meaningful tax advantages tend to require multi‑year planning, residency commitment, and a clear picture of where you'll live, when you'll sell, and how you'll invest. We explore why some dentists commute from Dubai, where that model makes sense, and where it falls apart. If you're eyeing a big exit, timing and structure matter more than hearsay—and the best results come when your personal life actually fits the place you plan to call home.Not everyone needs to move. We talk candidly about dentistry's “middle age,” where easy growth has faded and operating discipline wins. For some, the smarter play is to stay, run a tight practice, or even step back to a high‑performing associate role while maximising pensions, ISAs, and diversified investing. We compare active vs passive approaches, how to avoid silver‑bullet thinking, and the mindset required to hold through market dips without panicking. Whether you stay or go, the path to a calmer, wealthier future comes from clarity, patience, and a plan you'll actually follow.———————————————————————Disclaimer: All content on this channel is for education purposes only and does not constitute an investment recommendation or individual financial advice.

Cornwall, 2011: A mother called Tina Nash has just been tortured for 12 hours by a monstrous man called Shane Jenkins, her boyfriend who'd waited years for the chance to be with her.

A group of Labour MPs with rural consitituancies have urged the Government to think again on Inheritance Tax Changes, with some abstaining on a Commons vote on the issue earlier this week. This is the ongoing row over the Government's plan to re-impose inheritance tax on farming and business assets over a million pounds, which was introduced in last year's budget and is due to take effect from April next year. Ministers insist the plan is fair and say its time to move on. The cost to arable farmers of this year's summer drought has been estimated to be £828 million. The think tank the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit says farmers will lose the income as a result of what it says is the second worst UK harvest on record, where crops were hit by a very hot spring and summer as well as the resulting lack of water. A pioneering project to help the crews on fishing boats manage the unpredictability of their earnings has been launched in Cornwall. Weather conditions, fuel prices and market demand can mean that one week crews will earn, but the next they won't, making budgeting tricky.  Citizens Advice Cornwall says its led to problems - which is why, along with other local groups, it's set up Net Savings, a government backed collaboration to help fishing crews with financial advice. And as part of our week-long look at winter jobs on farm, we meet a cider apple farmer who'll be tending his trees throughout the season. Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Sally Challoner.

In this week's MBA Admissions podcast we began by discussing the current state of the MBA admissions season. This upcoming week, Emory / Goizueta, CMU / Tepper, Boston College / Carroll, Chicago / Booth, Yale SOM, Michigan / Ross, SMU / Cox and Georgia / Terry are scheduled to release their Round 1 decisions. Graham highlighted the upcoming Masters in Management (MiM) webinar series, scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. Signups for these events are here, https://www.clearadmit.com/events The next livestream AMA is scheduled for Tuesday, December 16th; here's the link to Clear Admit's YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/cayoutubelive. Graham noted recently published articles on career placements in the Tech and Finance industries as well as a Fridays from the Frontline piece on the Eurout LGBTQ+ conference at London Business School. He then covered two admissions tips recently published by Clear Admit. The first focuses on the increasing importance of video essays in the MBA admissions process. The second admissions tip focuses on how best to do school research via communities of students, alumni and faculty. Graham highlighted three Real Humans pieces spotlighting students from IMD, IESE and Cambridge / Judge, and then we discussed the recently published Class of 2027 admissions profile from Harvard Business School. Finally, Graham profiled a recently published podcast that focuses on UNC / Kenan Flagler's Deans Fellows program. For this week, for the candidate profile review portion of the show, Alex selected two ApplyWire entries and one DecisionWire entry: This week's first MBA admissions candidate has a 695 GMAT score but is planning a retake. They only have two years of experience but are determined to begin their MBA program this season. This week's second MBA applicant has a whopping 755 GMAT score but only a 3.0 GPA. They are targeting next season for their MBA, as they only have 2.5 years of experience, to date. This week's final MBA candidate is choosing between the one-year MBA programs at Northwestern / Kellogg, CMU / Tepper and Emory / Goizueta. They want to do consulting post MBA, and their partner has an offer at Tepper. This episode was recorded in Paris, France and Cornwall, England. It was produced and engineered by the fabulous Dennis Crowley in Philadelphia, USA. Thanks to all of you who've been joining us and please remember to rate and review this show wherever you listen!

For our last podcast of 2025, we're joined by co-founder of the Kernow Football Alliance, Jason Heaton.Like other Celtic Nations who have formed national teams, Kernow are the representative national team of Cornwall.Sadly though, unlike Alba, Ellan Vannin or other language-centred nations, Kernow aren't able to use their language as a central philosophy to their football.Instead, they choose to do their talking on the pitch to give Cornish people empowerment, inspiration and to raise awareness of Cornish culture and language throughout the world.Our podcast will return on 9 February 2026. We would like to thank all of the guests, supporters and listeners who have played a part in making the podcast so brilliant in 2025.We've got lots planned for 2026. See you all then.About UsWebsitefootballheritage.co.ukEmailhello@footballheritage.co.ukX@_footyheritageBlueSky@footballheritage.bsky.socialInstagram@_footyheritageYouTube@FootballHeritageFHAbout Our GuestThe Kernow Football Alliancehttps://kernowfa.co.uk/

A woman that needs no introduction for regular Spectator readers, Tanya Gold has been the Spectator's restaurant critic since 2011. On the podcast she tells Lara why – while it might be annoying – fellow critic Jay Rayner is never wrong, why the pandemic was ‘disgustingly great' for food critics and how she has become ‘enslaved' to her aga. Plus, she discusses her favourite restaurants from Hampstead to Cornwall – though it sounds like she would trade them all in for the mini egg, which she calls 'the highest form of food'.Produced by Patrick Gibbons.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

Millions of people are set to get a pay rise from April due to an increase in the minimum wage, the government has announced ahead of Wednesday's Budget. The hourly rate for over-21s will rise by 50p to £12.71, with workers aged 18-20 seeing an 85p rise to £10.85, and under-18s and apprentices getting 45p more to £8 an hour. However, businesses have warned that further increases to the minimum wages could result in hiring freezes. We hear from the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions.Also on the programme: US President Donald Trump is sending his envoy Steve Witkoff to Moscow to speak with Russian President Vladimir Putin, amid continuing talks to end the war in Ukraine.And a new BBC documentary recounts a little-known water contamination scandal that rocked communities in Cornwall in the 1980s.

Some people beg the universe for a sign. He grew up with twelve. From childhood, he was never truly alone. A second thought, then a third, then a quiet chorus of voices moved through his life like invisible companions. They whispered exam answers, translated dead languages he'd never studied, and pulled him away from danger — once screaming at him not to get in a car that later crashed and killed his friend. They weren't cruel. They weren't chaotic. They were calm, wise, strangely loving. Across countries and careers, they guided him into promotions, out of toxic alliances, even into — and out of — a marriage. To coworkers he was intuitive, almost psychic. Only he knew there was a committee of unseen advisers standing just behind his thoughts. Then came Tintagel Castle in Cornwall. As he stepped onto the ancient cliffs, the voices went silent for the first and only time. A single impression slid through before they vanished: We can't follow you in there. Are they spirits, guardians, or something far older learning through him? #TrueGhostStory #SpiritGuides #ParanormalVoices #GuardianSpirits #HauntedButProtected #PsychicExperiences #UnexplainedPhenomena #TintagelCastle #SupernaturalStory #CreepyEncounters #RealParanormal #StrangeButTrue Love real ghost stories?

In this week's MBA Admissions podcast we began by discussing the current state of the MBA admissions season, a few interview invites continue to roll out. This upcoming week, IESE and London Business School are scheduled to release their Round 1 decisions. Graham highlighted the upcoming Masters in Management (MiM) webinar series, scheduled for December 2 and 3. Signups for these events are here, https://www.clearadmit.com/events The next livestream AMA is scheduled for this Tuesday, November 25; here's the link to Clear Admit's YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/cayoutubelive. Graham noted a recently published article on AI instruction in top MBA programs. This is clearly an important and evolving area. Graham also highlighted a Fridays from the Frontline article featuring two ex-military students at NYU / Stern, and an article focused on consulting placements at top MBA programs. He then covered two admissions tips recently published by Clear Admit. The first focuses on creating the MBA resume, and the second focuses on how to select recommendation writers for business school applications. Graham highlighted two Real Humans pieces spotlighting students from Northwestern / Kellogg and Vanderbilt / Owen, and then we discussed the recently published Class of 2027 profile from Columbia Business School. For this week, for the candidate profile review portion of the show, Alex selected three ApplyWire entries: This week's first MBA admissions candidate has a strong overall profile in the environmentally sustainable space. They have a 332 GRE and a 3.44 GPA. We discussed whether the GPA would be a liability. This week's second MBA applicant has a 740 GMAT but a 3.15 GPA. They applied to 15 programs in Round 1 and have received several interview invites. This week's final MBA candidate is from Portugal and has a strong GPA. They worry that their 645 GMAT might limit some of their opportunities. This episode was recorded in Madrid, Spain and Cornwall, England. It was produced and engineered by the fabulous Dennis Crowley in Philadelphia, USA. Thanks to all of you who've been joining us and please remember to rate and review this show wherever you listen!

The BBC issues a formal apology after viewers complain that Armistice Day coverage referred to Catherine as “Kate Middleton” instead of the Princess of Wales. At the same time, Kensington Palace sets out her Christmas plans, announcing the fifth Together at Christmas carol service at Westminster Abbey on the theme of love in all its forms. A new Mother Nature autumn video, recorded at Forest Lodge, highlights Catherine's reflective tone on change, connection and resilience. Deep Crown notes the careful timing of the Abbey concert alongside Meghan Markle's Netflix holiday special, calling the royal calendar “a considered narrative.” Elsewhere, the Prince of Wales opens a new access road for Mousehole AFC in Cornwall, wins praise for his modern media strategy after his Brazil trip, and an old school friend recalls young William once declaring that he wanted to be a policeman, long before everyone else started talking about him as a future king.Hear our new show "Crown and Controversy: Prince Andrew" here.Check out "Palace Intrigue Presents: King WIlliam" here.

A decline in demand for whiskey is being blamed for the closure and suspension of Scottish malting plants - something which farmers fear will also mean a decline in demand for barley. Maltsters process barley so it can be used in distilleries or brewing. Several plants have announced closures and redundancies, but the Maltsters Association of Great Britain says that although it has a been a challenging year, they are positive about the future.The BBC Food and Farming Awards ceremony has taken place, with three strong finalists in the Farming Today and The Archers Farming for the Future category: Grazing Management who manage conservation grazing in Herefordshire; The Free Company, a farm and restaurant on a former dairy farm near Edinburgh; and Hugh Wragham who grows hemp in Northumberland. The winners were brothers Charlie and Angus Buchanan-Smith from The Free Company.All this week we're considering farming across the world, as COP 30 continues. We speak to a first generation farmer who produces organic mushrooms as part of an agroforestry farm business in south Brazil. He says its important for farmers to be at COP to push for financing for agriculture which can combat climate change. New rules on the size of oysters that can be landed on the River Fal in Cornwall have been introduced - part of a bid to protect future stocks of the shellfish. It's the first change in regulation on the size of native oysters dredged from the Fal in a hundred years.Presenter = Charlotte Smith at Producer = Rebecca Rooney

Two explorers head beneath the Cornwall cliffs, expecting a quiet day exploring abandoned mine tunnels. But the deeper they go, the heavier the air becomes—until their gas detector slams to 100%, oxygen collapses, and a crushing pressure settles over them like the tunnels themselves are tightening. Then comes the sound. A harsh metal scrape, like chains dragged slowly across rock. Once… then again, closer. And beneath it, a steady, deliberate breathing that isn't theirs. With the air vanishing and something moving in the dark, they realize the mine isn't abandoned... Follow Be.
