What if the names your ancestors gave their children were actually breadcrumbs leading straight to the neighbors who helped shape their lives? In this solo episode, I trace my own Cowan family line from a young Irish weaver who had to register as an alien citizen during the War of 1812 to a doctor who built a house that became a historical society, a saddle maker who outfitted the Union Army, and a U.S. Representative who somehow kept his personal life completely out of the newspapers. But the discovery that surprised me most was buried in an 1830 census. And it's the reason two of George and Jane Cowan's thirteen children carry the names they do. Ohio wasn't just where this family landed. It was the foundational soil that grew a posterity now living in 47 states and seven countries.〰️

He proposes a framework that connects water, electricity, and consciousness, challenging the way the human body is typically understood. If the dominant model is incomplete, the implications extend far beyond the lab.We explore the world of consciousness through the lens of biology. We also revisit a nearly forgotten medical therapy that once treated severe infections by altering only a small portion of the blood. The results were documented, yet the explanation never fully aligned with the prevailing scientific model.At the center is a different way of seeing the body as an energetic ecosystem rather than a mechanical structure, and what that shift could mean for health, education, and the future of science.You'll Learn:[00:00] Introduction[08:05] The 100-year-old treatment that structured blood, not killed bacteria[18:57] What a dissolving mollusk egg reveals about blood, consciousness, and the placebo effect[33:29] A terminal cancer patient's 50% tumor reduction in one week[46:23] What your immune system is doing instead of killing bacteria[59:37] How the body sustains itself without food, and the kidney's real role in that[01:07:09] How fluorescent light collapses a cell's electromagnetic field within seconds[01:34:59] How lidocaine resets trauma stored in nervous tissue [01:43:31] When physical pain is a message, not a malfunction[01:58:55] Why nerves are conscious decision-makers, not passive wiresRelated The Way Forward Episodes: Quinton Marine Plasma with Robert Slovak | PodcastEp 172: The 4th Phase of Water: The Blueprint for Biological Energy with Dr. Gerald Pollack | PodcastResources Mentioned:Ultraviolet blood irradiation: Is it time to remember “the cure that time forgot”?

Send a textIn the first episode of our mini-series on "Myths of Philanthropy", Rhodri and Chiara are joined by Lisa Cowan (Director of The Haven Fund, previously Vice President of the Robert Sterling Clark Foundation) and Dimple Abichandani (author of A New Era of Philanthropy: Ten Practices to Transform Wealth Into a More Just and Sustainable Future) to discuss the notion of legacy.Including:To what extent do foundations exist in perpetuity as a default, rather than an active choice?Would it be enough to shift this norm?Is there evidence that next generation philanthropists take a different view of perpetuity than previous generations?Is this likely to lead to more limited-life foundations being created in future, or more perpetual foundations shifting to a spend down approach?Are there valid arguments in favour of longevity?Are there ways of getting longevity without perpetual endowments? To what extent is adherence to perpetuity driven by funders taking an individualistic perspective? Why is it important to understand the historic roots of the wealth, institutions and practices we have in philanthropy?What should philanthropic organisations do about links to historic injustices? Is it enough to acknowledge them, or do they need to go beyond that and seek means to make reparations somehow? What role did Carnegie's “Gospel of Wealth” play in justifying extractive or harmful business practices on the grounds that good would be done through philanthropy with the proceeds?Is philanthropy inherently a symptom of structural inequality and injustice, and does this limit its ability to be part of the solution to these challenges? Or are there forms of philanthropy that can be genuine tools for furthering equality and justice, and what do these look like?Does a reparative approach to philanthropy require a fundamental rethink of what we mean by “effectiveness” or “success”?What implications might taking a reparative approach have for the governance of philanthropic funders? (i.e. in terms of who works in foundations and who is on the board?)Further Resources:Lisa's original Myths of Philanthropy essay, "A Path to Repair: What if Philanthropy Wasn't About Giving Away Money, but Returning It?"

All Bones Considered: Laurel Hill Stories #084, part 3 Florence Cowanova (born Cowan in 1901) was the daughter of dancers Edward and Mary Cowan. On the suggestion of dancer Anna Pavlova, she adopted the surname Cowanova. Florence grew up immersed in dance, with her father specializing in kinesiology and her mother in dance instruction and publicity. By her teens, Florence was recognized as a versatile dancer and teacher, running a popular studio that staged large recitals at Philadelphia's Academy of Music, featuring hundreds of students. Thousands of Philadelphia girls fondly remember their sessions with Mme Cowanova, who made them all feel like princesses.

Born with strabismus and severe vision issues, Ainhoa's early healing experience became foundational to her identity and later research. Her work highlights how stress, inflammation, and unresolved emotional tension can influence conditions such as myopia, astigmatism, and double vision. The conversation raises important questions about why glasses are often prescribed without investigating root causes like sinus pressure or chronic stress.Vision challenges can reveal far more than genetics or aging ever could. Perception reflects more than optics; it mirrors belief, physiology, and lived experience. If you're interested in trauma and eyesight, vision and stress, or improving eye health naturally, this perspective will shift how you understand sight itself.You'll Learn:[00:00] Introduction[04:54] Why Ainhoa threw her first prescription in the trash, and what happened afterwards[31:27] WHO data, COVID's catastrophic impact, and why 2030 projections are alarming[53:36] What the numbers actually show from the ClearSight method[01:07:21] The cases that keep proving what's actually possible with natural vision improvement[01:18:29] How screens damage eyesight beyond the blue light[01:47:35] How the sympathetic nervous system creates tunnel vision, and why presence reverses it[01:56:12] Multiple personality research, the three-hug story, and the emotional roots of specific eye conditions[02:10:53] What astigmatism, glaucoma, myopia, presbyopia, and retinal detachment each reveal about your inner life[02:36:59] What your specific symptom reveals about key relationships in your life [02:45:54] Nutrition, detox, and the liver-eye connectionResources Mentioned:Live to 100 | WebsiteA New World of Seeing by Natural Vision Educators and Dr. Ainhoa de Federico | BookDaylight Tablet | WebsiteThe Inner Cause by Martin Brofman | WebsiteAnything Can Be Healed by Martin Brofman | WebsiteImprove Your Vision by Martin Brofman | WebsiteRay | NetflixFind more from Ainhoa:ClearSight Method | WebsiteClearSight Method | InstagramClearSight Method | FacebookFind more from Alec:Alec Zeck | InstagramAlec Zeck | XThe Way Forward | InstagramThe Way Forward is Sponsored By:Paleovalley is 100% Grass-Fed Bone Broth Protein is a nutrient-dense, easy-to-digest source of collagen and essential amino acids.

Sometimes, a pivot isn’t triggered by a failure.Sometimes, it happens because you keep looking for a way to make the world a little bit fairer. Anne Aly was born in Alexandria, Egypt, and moved to Australia when she was just two years old. Her parents worked hard in factory jobs to give their family a foothold here - and those early experiences of displacement, resilience and possibility stayed with her. By her late twenties, Anne was a single working mother raising two young boys in Perth on the minimum wage. She knew what it meant to juggle life’s demands with no safety net - and she used that as fuel to keep pushing forward. She went back to study - and then studied some more, earning a Master’s and a PhD focused on countering violent extremism. From there, Anne became a globally recognised expert in her field - advising the United Nations, publishing hundreds of academic works, and even being the only Australian invited to speak at President Obama’s White House summit on countering violent extremism. But academia was never where her story stopped. In 2016, Anne took another monumental pivot - into politics. She was elected as the Federal Member for Cowan, becoming the first Muslim woman in the Australian Parliament, and then a minister in federal government, shaping policy on multicultural affairs, small business and international development. Along the way, she has championed issues close to her heart - from community safety to meaningful support for domestic and family violence survivors, turning her own life experience into public purpose. In this episode, Anne talks about how she navigated seismic life shifts with grit, compassion, and that same drive to make space for voices too often overlooked - and how she keeps pivoting even when the stakes are high.

In this episode, Dr. Tom Cowan sits down with Doug and Stacy—homesteaders, educators, and creators who left city life behind to build a fully off-grid existence rooted in food sovereignty, craftsmanship, and lived experience.Doug and Stacy share their unconventional journey from suburban living to raising animals, growing nearly all their own food, and building multiple homes by hand—despite having no prior experience in construction, farming, or homesteading. Along the way, they learned directly from their Amish neighbors, adopting low-tech, practical systems for housing, water, heating, food preservation, and daily life. Throughout the conversation, they explore:How and why they left city life and downsized radicallyBuilding log homes and infrastructure from scratch with minimal toolsLiving fully off-grid with no electricity, Wi-Fi, or conventional utilitiesRaising sheep, poultry, bees, and working horsesDeveloping rainwater catchment and gravity-fed water systemsLearning traditional skills through hands-on mentorship with the AmishHow lifestyle, environment, light, food, and daily rhythms shaped their well-beingThe unexpected growth of their YouTube channel to over one million subscribersTheir philosophy of learning through observation, practicality, and results—not theoryThe conversation also covers Doug and Stacy's Homesteading Life Conference, where they teach others how to grow food, preserve it, raise animals, and step out of the modern “rat race” using real-world skills and common sense.

Why are so many people exhausted, cynical, or disengaged from politics — even as the stakes keep rising?In this episode of Outrage Overload, David Beckemeyer is joined by journalist and author Cameron Cowan to explore the deeper forces driving generational inequality, institutional distrust, and political disengagement in the United States.Cameron is the author of America's Lost Generation, which examines how economic change, labor markets, and policy decisions have reshaped opportunity for younger Americans who did what they were told and still found themselves falling behind.Rather than focusing on daily outrage or partisan blame, this conversation looks at how lived experience — not ideology alone — fuels cynicism, burnout, and withdrawal from civic life. David and Cameron discuss what happens when institutions stop feeling accountable, how concentrated power shapes public trust, and why disengagement may be as dangerous as polarization itself.Text me your feedback and leave your contact info if you'd like a reply (this is a one-way text).

Many movements have been motivated by the climate crisis to take action to attempt to effect change. Extinction Rebellion is one such group. It says it aims to apply non-violent civil disobedience to push for action. In the wake of the floods last week, they released a strongly worded statement placing culpability for the disaster upon both major political parties for their lack of action. Wire host Manny talked to the Co-ordinator of Extinction Rebellion Tamaki Makaurau Caril Cowan on their organisation's position on the floods and climate crisis,

Lichen Hall is the perfect English country mansion, a veritable rural paradise—a Tudor house of mellow beauty that has been carefully restored after the fire that claimed a child's life twelve years ago. For Claude Halyard, it is an earthly paradise reclaimed. For his wife Laura, it is a home that seems to cast a spell—lovely, peaceful, and somehow waiting. Their daughter Hyacinth finds the old day nursery and makes it her own. She plays alone there for hours, running invisible races, laughing at jokes only she can hear. She is never lonely, she insists. She has a friend. Laura begins to notice small impossibilities: a rocking horse galloping in an empty room, its stirrups held forward. Candles lit on a Christmas tree when no one has been near. The faint sound of a child's gramophone playing "Boys and Girls Come Out to Play." Claude grows tense, strained, building walls of silence his wife cannot penetrate. He speaks of leaving. He cannot say why. But Hyacinth has made a promise to her playmate. And some promises, once given, cannot be broken—even when the one who waits to claim them has been dead for twelve years. "The Playfellow" by Lady Cynthia Asquith was first published in This Mortal Coil (Arkham House, 1947), later reissued in the UK as What Dreams May Come (Rich & Cowan, 1951). Lady Cynthia Asquith (1887–1960) was J. M. Barrie's secretary, a distinguished memoirist and biographer, and editor of the influential Ghost Book series. Her own supernatural fiction is characterized by restraint, psychological insight, and civilized unease. 24/7 Ad free stream of the Classic Ghost Stories Podcast on Internet radio.

In Session 320, I sit down with Landon Cowan and Tiffany Kodak to talk about an area of behavior analysis that doesn't get nearly enough attention: professional (or "soft") skills. We spend a lot of time in our field teaching and refining technical, clinical, or "hard" skills—and for good reason. But far less time is devoted to the interpersonal, communication, and problem-solving skills that ultimately determine how effective we are as clinicians, supervisors, and collaborators. In this conversation, Landon and Tiffany share their research aimed at identifying, defining, and measuring these professional skills, along with some eye-opening findings about where skill gaps exist.
HENRY AVERY: THE COMPLICATED GENIUS WHO SPARKED THE GOLDEN AGE OF PIRACYColleagues Sean Kingsley and Rex Cowan, The Pirate King. Host John Batchelor introduces the authors of The Pirate King to discuss Henry Avery, a "complicated genius" who raided a Mughal treasure ship in 1695. While this heist sparked the Golden Age of Piracy, the authors reveal that Avery did not merely vanish but entered a world of espionage. NUMBER 1
DANIEL DEFOE ENCOUNTERS THE GENTLEMAN PIRATE Colleagues Sean Kingsley and Rex Cowan, The Pirate King. The conversation shifts to Daniel Defoe, a debt-ridden merchant and dissenter seeking financial redemption. Defoe encounters Avery in disguise, who is fleeing a manhunt but evolving into a political operative. Cowan describes Avery as a "gentleman pirate" whose intelligence allowed him to survive while other pirates perished. NUMBER 2
SECRET AGENTS IN FALMOUTH: ESPIONAGE AND UNDECIPHERED CODES Colleagues Sean Kingsleyand Rex Cowan, The Pirate King. By 1700, Defoe and Avery work as secret agents in Falmouth, influencing elections and intercepting mail for the Crown. Kingsley explains that Defoe later employed Avery as his enforcer while manipulating public opinion in Scotland. The segment also discusses an undeciphered code found in a letter written by Avery. NUMBER 3
DEFOE THE MASTER SPY AND AVERY THE STRATEGIST Colleagues Sean Kingsley and Rex Cowan, The Pirate King. The group discusses the irony of Defoe and Avery attending a play about Avery's life, which Defoe secretly wrote under a pseudonym. Kingsley emphasizes Defoe's role as a master spy using multiple aliases. They conclude that Avery was a strategist who defied the simple "swashbuckling" pirate stereotype. NUMBER 4
Building a Resilient Faith: A Synthesis of Key Themes Executive Summary This document synthesizes the core themes from a sermon delivered on the first Sunday of 2026 by Zach, a youth pastor. The central argument posits that the start of a new year should not be viewed as a simple "reset," as life's troubles do not magically disappear. Instead, the focus should be on building a resilient faith—the capacity to press on and grow stronger through struggle and hardship. Grounded in the scripture of John 16:33, the message presents two definitive truths: trouble in this world is inevitable, but this trouble is not final because Jesus has "overcome the world." This victory makes peace and confidence possible even amid life's most difficult seasons. The sermon provides a practical, three-question framework for developing this resilience: identifying the specific trouble ("What's happening?"), shifting focus to foundational truths about God ("What is true no matter what?"), and taking ownership of one's response ("What can you do?"), primarily through prayer and engagement with a church community. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I. The Premise: Rejecting a "Reset" Mentality The sermon begins by challenging the conventional notion of the New Year as a monumental fresh start. It argues that while the calendar resets, personal burdens and ongoing struggles are carried over from one day to the next. • Critique of New Year's Superficiality: The speaker describes New Year's as a "weird holiday" where "nothing magically, like, disappears when it's January 1st." Problems from the previous week or year do not vanish when the clock strikes midnight. • Introducing Resilience as the Core Focus: Instead of concepts like "refresh or reset," the proposed theme for the new year is resilience. • Definition of Resilience: Resilience is defined as "our ability to move forward and grow stronger after we've struggled or failed or faced hard stuff in our life" and "our resolve to press on even when we feel so worn down or just ready to throw in the towel." II. The Challenge: Doubt and the Temptation to Quit The message explores how hardship and a lack of immediate results can lead to doubt and the temptation to abandon one's faith journey. This is illustrated through the speaker's personal anecdotes of quitting karate, soccer, and reading The Lord of the Rings as a child because he "couldn't see the value in moving forward" or "couldn't see the results quick enough." • The Slippery Slope of Doubt: When individuals feel worn down, doubt begins to seep in, particularly in their faith. This doubt manifests as a series of challenging questions directed at God. • Questions Arising from Hardship: The sermon provides specific examples of questions that emerge during difficult times: ◦ "Is God still worth following? If my family still is broken..." ◦ "Is God still loving? If I'm still battling with depression..." ◦ "Is God still as good as he says he is? Even when I don't see him showing up the way I want him to..." ◦ "Why should I keep doing this?" III. The Theological Foundation: John 16:33 The sermon's central argument is built upon Jesus's words in John, chapter 16, verse 33. This scripture is presented in the context of Jesus preparing his disciples for his imminent betrayal, arrest, and crucifixion—what the speaker calls "some of the worst trouble that his disciples have experienced in their lifetime." John 16:33: "I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart, I have overcome the world." This verse is broken down into two definitive, non-negotiable statements. A. The Certainty of Trouble: "In this world you will have trouble." This is presented as a fundamental truth of the human condition. • An Inescapable Reality: Trouble is not a possibility but a guarantee in a world described as an "incomplete" and "broken" plane of existence. Therefore, experiencing hardship should not be shocking. • Historical Context: The disciples, as "lower income Jewish men living in the Roman Empire," would have deeply resonated with this statement. For them, every day was a battle, and speaking against authority could lead to death. • Jesus's Own Experience: Jesus himself was speaking these words just before he would be "arrested, flogged, beaten, crucified." He was about to experience "the worst trouble." B. The Proclamation of Victory: "But take heart, I have overcome the world." This statement is the essential counterpoint, offering hope and a foundation for resilience. • Trouble is Not the End: Jesus's victory over the world through his death and resurrection ensures that trouble "is not going to be the end all be all to your life." As the speaker states, "Trouble is not the end for you, church. Whatever you face in your life, it's not the period in the sentence of your life." • Peace Becomes Possible: Because of Jesus's victory, peace is accessible regardless of the season or hardship one faces. This is a peace that comes from a "God who has been through it, who walks in it with you, and who has made a way for that trouble to only be temporary." • The Nature of Resilient Faith: A resilient faith is defined as "one that never gives up on God" because it is rooted in the truth that God has overcome life's worst struggles. IV. A Practical Framework for Building Resilience To move from theological principle to practical application, the sermon offers a three-question process to guide individuals through moments of trouble. QuestionPurpose & Explanation1. What's happening?To be honest and specific about the trouble being faced. This involves identifying the source of the struggle, whether it's a person who caused disappointment, an event beyond one's control, or even a fellow Christian whose actions have caused questioning.2. What is true no matter what?To shift perspective from immediate circumstances to the unchanging truths of God. This is not a "quick fix" and does not make the trouble less real, but it helps one focus on the reality that God is loving, in control, good, and present.3. What can you do?To focus on controllable attitudes and actions in response to trouble. While one may not be able to fix the entire situation, one always has a say in their personal response. V. Key Actions for Cultivating Resilience The framework leads to two specific, actionable steps for building a resilient faith in 2026. A. Prioritizing Prayer Prayer is presented not as a final, desperate act, but as a proactive first step. • Prayer as a First Step: A key quote emphasizes this point: "Prayer is not a last resort. Prayer is not a Hail Mary we throw when we feel like we have no other option. Prayer is a first step..." • An Invitation to God: Prayer is the act of bringing a situation to God and inviting Him to "have his way in it." The message reassures that God is not "scared by your questions or your doubt" or "thrown off by it." B. Engaging in Community Deep involvement in the church body is highlighted as a critical component of resilience. • The Role of the Church: The speaker encourages the congregation to "go deep into life with such a group of people" to lean on one another for support. • Refocusing and Growth: The community serves to "help refocus ourselves when things seem too troublesome and hard to see the truth." Mutual support is essential for growth and maintaining perspective. VI. Conclusion: The Call to Respond The sermon concludes with an invitation for the congregation to respond to the message in a tangible way. • An Invitation to Prayer: Attendees are invited to pray, either alone or with designated individuals (wearing green lanyards), during the final song. • Unburdening and Discovery: The moment is framed as an opportunity to be "open and honest with him about what you are walking through" and to "unburden yourself." It is a chance for one's resilience to grow by discovering a Jesus "who is here with us now and who has overcome the world." • Final Affirmation: The closing prayer reaffirms God as one "who sees us, who has met us where we are," and who has overcome life's troubles so that believers might know "real peace and have real eternal life."

Sometimes, a pivot isn’t triggered by a failure.Sometimes, it happens because you keep looking for a way to make the world a little bit fairer. Anne Aly was born in Alexandria, Egypt, and moved to Australia when she was just two years old. Her parents worked hard in factory jobs to give their family a foothold here - and those early experiences of displacement, resilience and possibility stayed with her. By her late twenties, Anne was a single working mother raising two young boys in Perth on the minimum wage. She knew what it meant to juggle life’s demands with no safety net - and she used that as fuel to keep pushing forward. She went back to study - and then studied some more, earning a Master’s and a PhD focused on countering violent extremism. From there, Anne became a globally recognised expert in her field - advising the United Nations, publishing hundreds of academic works, and even being the only Australian invited to speak at President Obama’s White House summit on countering violent extremism. But academia was never where her story stopped. In 2016, Anne took another monumental pivot - into politics. She was elected as the Federal Member for Cowan, becoming the first Muslim woman in the Australian Parliament, and then a minister in federal government, shaping policy on multicultural affairs, small business and international development. Along the way, she has championed issues close to her heart - from community safety to meaningful support for domestic and family violence survivors, turning her own life experience into public purpose. In this episode, Anne talks about how she navigated seismic life shifts with grit, compassion, and that same drive to make space for voices too often overlooked - and how she keeps pivoting even when the stakes are high.

In his new book B-Sides: A Flipsided History of Pop (Headpress, 2023), Andy Cowan explores a century of music b-sides. Pop music would be a different beast without the B-Side. Music history is riven with songs deemed throwaway that revolted against their lowly status and refused to be denied. Be it rock'n'roll's national anthem ('Rock Around The Clock'), disco's enduring game-changer ('I Feel Love') or hip-hop's most notorious dis track ('Hit 'Em Up'), all three started life as the so-called 'lesser' track on releases primed for maximum chart impact. But the B-side has done much more than make stars of Bill Haley, Donna Summer and 2Pac. Whether it was the Beatles, the Kinks and the Yardbirds in the 60s, Elton John, the Who and Queen in the 70s, Depeche Mode, the Cure and Prince in the 80s, or Oasis, Pulp and Radiohead in the 90s, the B-side allowed many of the world's greatest artists freedom to experiment with no commercial constraints in an age where physical product ruled the roost. A quickfire A-Z of 500+ flips, B-SIDE is the first serious examination of the format's covert role in pushing the musical envelope. Best read with one eye on YouTube and one ear on a streaming service, its revelations will prick up the ears of music fans of all persuasions.

Pastor Scotty Cowan, December 28, 2025
The two-day Boxing Day Test continues to spark a wider conversation about the state of Test cricket. Corbin Middlemas and Ed Cowan begin in Melbourne, unpacking the fallout at the MCG, Matt Page facing the media, and how a Test meant to anchor the summer instead triggered public unease, with one listener summing it up starkly as “the death of Test cricket.”The discussion then moves through the financial cost of shortened Tests and why, as Cowan puts it, “it's not a slow slippery slope, it's a snowball,” before turning to the Big Bash, where a potential sale is unpacked through the realities of revenue distribution and governance, and why those decisions now sit at the centre of cricket's future. Attention finally shifts to Sydney, where the unexpected spotlight falls on SCG curator Adam Lewis, and what Ed says there is “a lot riding on this Test.” Cricket always finds room for the absurd, it ends with an unlikely opening partnership: Salt and Pepper.ABC Grandstand cricket commentator Corbin Middlemas is joined by Ed Cowan to bring you all the highlights and match analysis to keep you up to speed. The pair discuss the key players and big issues that are dominating the cricket agenda.

On today's episode of The Ultimate Assist, John Stockton and Ken Ruettgers sit down with one of the most provocative voices in modern alternative medicine: Dr. Tom Cowan. Known for challenging the core assumptions of virology, evolution, heart physiology, and conventional health science, Dr. Cowan dismantles what he calls “120 years of made-up biology” — from the existence of viruses, to the real cause of heart attacks, to whether evolution itself ever happened.In this intense and mind-bending conversation, Dr. Cowan explains why he believes modern science abandoned observation for ideology, why contagion studies fail, how fear became the primary weapon of public health, and why the human body is actually an electromagnetic water-based system—not a machine built from atoms.Whether you agree with him or not, this episode forces listeners to confront the foundations of everything they've been taught about health, disease, and what truly makes us sick. A gripping conversation that pushes the boundaries of inquiry and challenges the agenda behind mainstream scientific narratives.
EPISODE 116 - “CLASSIC STAR OF THE MONTH: DICK VAN DYKE” - 12/01/25 Join us as we celebrate the life and career of someone who seemingly personifies joy — on-screen and off. And maybe that's the secret to his longevity, because he is about to celebrate his 100th birthday on December 13. Of course, we're talking about the one and only, DICK VAN DYKE, our December Star of the Month. His career spans The Dick Van Dyke Show, Mary Poppins, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, and beyond. He's danced across rooftops, flipped over ottomans, and shared his personal struggles with alcoholism in order to shine a light on a horrible disease -- at a time when that sort of thing wasn't discussed. From his early years trying to make it in show business, to that breakout moment on Broadway, to becoming one of the most beloved stars on television and film - today, we celebrate the legendary Dick Van Dyke!

TSN Hockey Analyst Mike Johnson joined OverDrive to discuss the headlines around the Maple Leafs' defeat to the Blue Jackets, the signs of positivity for the team, Joseph Woll's role in the crease, Easton Cowan's jump in the lineup, Max Domi's giveaway and his placement on the roster and more.
In this episode, Dr. Tom Cowan speaks with longtime friend Christopher Gardner, who shares his journey of discovering and working with biochar, a potent soil amendment derived from biomass through pyrolysis (low-oxygen burning). Originally inspired by Amazonian agricultural techniques (terra preta), Christopher began experimenting with biochar while living in Central America, where the soil was poor and depleted.Through firsthand trial and error, he found that adding biochar to his farm dramatically improved plant health, eliminated pest problems like leafcutter ants, and boosted yields of cacao, coffee, bamboo, and tropical fruits. He describes how biochar:-Enhances soil structure and water retention-Creates structured, energetically coherent water-Offers resistance to EMFs through its diamagnetic properties-Acts like a “womb” for seedlings, encouraging strong, healthy growthHe also explains the science and method behind making biochar, comparing it to ancient Amazonian kiln practices, and how he's now producing high-quality biochar in the Ozarks using Amish and Mennonite mill byproducts. His new company, BlackGold Biochar, provides this regenerative product for gardeners and farmers.Check out Christopher's Black Gold Biochar here: https://www.blackgoldbiochar.com/discount/TOMCOWAN?redirect=%2Fproducts%2Fblackgold-biocharSupport the showWebsites:https://drtomcowan.com/https://www.drcowansgarden.com/https://newbiologyclinic.com/https://newbiologycurriculum.com/Instagram: @TalkinTurkeywithTomFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrTomCowan/Bitchute: https://www.bitchute.com/channel/CivTSuEjw6Qp/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzxdc2o0Q_XZIPwo07XCrNg
