Hank has been a cast member for the last 62 years, starting as a Jungle Cruise Skipper in 1958. If the math doesn't add up on that, it is because Hank left Disneyland for a few years to be a Garden Grove Firefighter, before returning to Disneyland. – https://disneyparksblog.com/dlr/meet-hank-todays-longest-standing-disney-cast-member/ Fans of the animated windows on Main Street have a new display to enjoy!

Evan thought dog-sitting in his cousin's century-old Craftsman would be easy. But Scout kept growling at the same coat closet — the one with a forgotten attic hatch overhead. Then came the nights: a single piano key striking again and again in the darkness, voices murmuring outside a locked bedroom window, and a growing sense that something unseen was moving through the house. On the final morning, he saw it — a tall, shadow-like figure leaning into the hallway, watching, until it slipped away as his cousin walked through its space. The organ has played since. The attic is still sealed. And whatever's inside… never left. If you have a real ghost story or supernatural event to report, please write into our show or call 1-855-853-4802!

In this episode of Home In Progress, hosted by Dan Hansen and sponsored by RepcoLite Paints and Benjamin Moore, the first half is a humorous recount of life lessons learned during a family vacation, from managing close quarters with family to trying on new swimwear before the trip. Dan ties these vacation anecdotes to home improvement tips, emphasizing the importance of testing paint colors, stain matching, and tool comfort before committing to a project. In the second half, Dan dives into the lore of Craftsman homes, detailing their historical roots in the arts and crafts movement, key characteristics, and prominent figures like William Morris and Gustav Stickley. He explains their widespread appeal due to practicality, philosophy of simplicity, and natural beauty, offering insights into both exterior and interior design choices suitable for Craftsman-style homes.CHAPTERS00:00 Introduction and Show Overview00:33 Family Vacation Stories01:50 Lesson 1: The Space Invader06:53 Lesson 2: The Swimsuit Fiasco11:41 Lesson 3: Kids Don't Listen13:50 Effective Communication with Contractors16:35 Introduction to Craftsman Style Homes17:01 Understanding Architectural Styles17:52 Defining Craftsman Homes20:07 Origins of the Craftsman Style24:19 The American Craftsman Movement30:44 Craftsman Homes in Modern Times31:40 Choosing Colors for Craftsman Homes34:07 Conclusion and Resources

When Brian Bateman and his wife moved into a 1914 Craftsman in Fort Worth, Texas, they thought that they had found the perfect place to start their empty-nest chapter. Instead, they found themselves in a home with a history as dark as it was hidden. From 1914 to 2023, five people died within its walls and the street itself had seen more than its share of tragedy. At first, Brian tried to shrug off the odd occurrences. But as the strange activity grew harder to ignore, it became clear that something in the house wasn't ready to let go. His unsettling experiences would inspire the fictionalized novel Ghost Writer by Jennifer Brasington-Crowley, a story rooted in the real hauntings and the neighborhood's dark history. In this episode, Brian shares what really happened behind closed doors—and why in this house, the dead don't leave. This is Part Two of our conversation.

In this week's Leadership Lessons, our Production Director David Walker calls us to rediscover our identity as masterpieces formed by the hands of the divine Craftsman. Through Isaiah 64:8 and Psalm 139:13–14, we're reminded that we are not mass-produced beings, but uniquely and intentionally shaped by God—the Potter who knows every detail of our design. This truth reframes how we see ourselves and others: not as broken or unfinished, but as raw materials full of purpose, awaiting refinement. The Potter doesn't discard what's imperfect. He molds it with care. As we submit to the shaping process through prayer, Scripture, and Christ-centered community, we begin to reflect the beauty and function we were always meant to carry. Let this be a call to stop striving for manufactured perfection and instead surrender to the One who sees masterpiece potential in every part of us. In His hands, we're not just formed we're purposed to participate in His creative work in the world.

From cozy bungalows to Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired Prairie homes, Craftsman house plans offer five distinct personalities that have captivated Americans for over a century.

In today's episode, I talk to a craftsman who has explored the tradeoffs inherent in an over attentiveness to scale when developing a business – David Stine of David Stine Furniture. At the core, David is a craftsman, and this attention to the craft shapes everything from his approach to debt and growth, how he thinks about creativity, and even the rich life, broadly defined. Whether you run a small business, dream of starting one, or just want a fresh lens on work and meaning—this episode is for you.

Rainey Street has had a multitude of lives — from working-class Chicano neighborhood frequently overlooked and underserved; to Craftsman-style homes transformed into bars and restaurants bustling with bodies, especially for Sunday brunch; to unforgettable SXSW experiences; and now the high rise-lined wind tunnel where the sun never shines with one extremely worthwhile and Austin-ey cocktail bar. So what even is Rainey Street today? Is it still cool? Could it ever be again? Host Nikki DaVaughn is joined by Hey Austin newsletter editor Kelsey Bradshaw, and Nikki's friend, local musician Doug Leveton, to discuss.  Learn more about the sponsors of this June 17th episode: Tecovas Cozy Earth - use code COZYAUSTIN for 40% off best-selling temperature-regulating sheets, apparel, and more.

Apprenticing has long been thought of as a term to describe someone working beside a master craftsperson to learn a trade and to refine a professional skill: whether it be pottery or electrical, cabinetry or plumbing. As an educational model it has long been mostly lost or forgotten, except in a place in midcoast Maine: The Apprenticeshop, where apprentices are learning the craft of building and restoring small traditional wooden boats and associated seamanship, in what can be argued as a most effective way of learning and living in a time when education is challenged by convention and complexity. About World Ocean Radio World Ocean Radio is a weekly series of five-minute audio essays available for syndicated use at no cost by college and community radio stations worldwide.

Recorded at Kimes Ranch in the Fort Worth Stockyards, this episode features Gerry Gesell, a ranch manager, leather craftsman, polo player, cow horse competitor, podcast host, and actor. Gerry's brand, "Many Irons", born from the mantra “many irons in the fire,” connects cowboys, surfers, and firefighters through shared stories and wearable art.  Gerry discusses transitioning from high-speed polo pony training to cow horse showing, reflecting on humbling lessons from recent competitions. He delves into his creative process behind "Laundromat Texas", a short film premiering July 27, 2025, at Dallas's Texas Theater, capturing Far West Texas's misfit spirit. From racing a train on a three-year-old colt for a Tecovas commercial to crafting artistic chaps for Teskey's, Gerry's passion for creation shines. He shares the vulnerability of writing on Instagram, the authenticity of his podcast "There's Always Something to Chase", and the horseman's paradox—asking horses to risk all while keeping us safe. With humor, heart, and rapid-fire revelations—like his love for Rancho Deluxe, fear of heights, and a gum-in-hair middle-school kiss fail—this episode celebrates chasing dreams and embracing failure. Enjoy the show! This episode is brought to you by Kimes Ranch and Kerry Kelley Bits and Spurs. 

Today, Pastor Ken will remind you that God is the Designer and Craftsman of everything in the universe, and He created human beings a step above all the rest. By breathing His own life into that man, He created the man and woman “in His own image”. That means that human beings are more like God than any other created thing. We have an eternal spirit, just as God has. The wise person bows before the Creator and willingly submits himself or herself to the only One who truly knows how we are made.

He turned that leap into a 40+ year career full of awards, sold-out sessions, and major industry influence. And with 80 years of experience between us and a passion for helping others, we “commiserate” on what it takes to start and sustain a highly profitable portrait photography business and all the joys it brings.We're talking about:Why branding, client relationships, and a recognizable style are your best business toolsThe secret sauce behind genuine expressions and timeless portraitsWhy continuous learning (even after 40 years!) is non-negotiableAnd how Jeff's new book can help you build a stronger, more profitable businessWhether you're new to the industry or have been behind the camera for decades, this episode is full of aha moments, business gold, and inspiration to keep going — and growing.Find Jeff's book, The Professional Photography Playbook, on AmazonFollow Jeff on YouTube for more tips and storiesHit play and let's talk portraits, passion, and making your mark.Connect with Photography Business Coach Luci Dumas: Website Email: luci@lucidumas.comInstagram FacebookYouTubeNew episodes drop every week — make sure to subscribe so you never miss an inspiring guest or a powerful solo episode designed to help you grow your photography business.

Heather Zeiger of the Center for Bioethics and Human Dignity addressed a new report from HHS that, like similar comprehensive studies in other countries, point to the weak scientific foundations of so-called pediatric, gender-affirming therapies. She also looks at a ALS patient who is able to communicate thanks to neuralink implants and AI.  Dave Hataj of Craftsman of Character shares about how manufacturing industries are hungry for young people who have good ethics, as well as good abilities.

The U‑District House, near the University of Washington, should have been a charming Craftsman—until ceilings caved in, basement lights flickered, and a shadow man tormented every woman who stayed. Scratches appeared, furniture flew across rooms, and guests fled in terror. Despite years of renovations, the house's dark past refused to stay buried. A call to a spiritual healer seemed to end the terror—but did it truly move the entity on, or did it simply retreat, waiting for its next victim? Tonight, we unlock the secrets of the U‑District House, exploring the dark history that still lingers.  If you have a real ghost story or supernatural event to report, please write into our show at http://www.realghoststoriesonline.com/ or call 1-855-853-4802!

Episode 135 is on the scene and while most of the Mid Atlantic did not race due to rain, the zMAX CARS Tour and Ace Speedway dodged the rain drops just enough to get the entire Late Model race in and over half the Pro Late Model show in to make that official. Landen Lewis picked up his second career win on tour on Saturday and he joins us this week from the shops of Kevin Harvick Incorporated. We discuss racing vs the rain, having legendary crew chief Rodney Childers in his pit stall, the continued support given to him by Hall of Famer Ron Hornaday and what has been the key to getting this team within five points of Connor Hall in the championship points race.Speaking of which, we give exclusive breakdowns of both the Late Model and Pro Late model event from Ace, should penalties had been assessed to some teams who had flat tires that brought out yellows, and give a state of the Tour following the first third of the season with three drivers separated by five points in the title hunt. The Cup Series ran at Texas Motor Speedway on Sunday and we review the roller coaster day that saw Joey Logano end up in victory lane from his 27th starting spot. Does Penske Racing seem to have gotten their groove back with two straight wins? How about this racing we see at Texas? Did the boys like what they saw? Nathan Byrd obtained his career best finish on the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series driving for Young's Motorsports on Friday at Texas.  The Arizona turned Indiana native joins us to tell us about his career that started off as male cheerleader with racing not being on his radar. His radar eventually led him to karting and after running many disciplines of racing, he had dreams of running the Indy 500 which his family either sponsored entries or owned them. That dream did not come to pass but an entry into the fast speedways of NASCAR opened up and his story is one of the best we have ever told on this program!We serve up a few dubs from the weekend, tell you who's racing in the Mid Atlantic this weekend while we preview the action from Kansas & much more fun this week on DLN!

In a world that sometimes feels unjust, the message is clear: God hears your prayers, and though justice may seem delayed, it is coming. If you've ever felt like the righteous don't get their due or questioned why the wicked seem to prosper, this sermon will inspire and encourage you to keep holding on. No matter how long the wait, God's justice is certain! Join us as we explore the mysterious principle of atonement, the essence of creation, and how God's wisdom is infused into the fabric of the world. This thought-provoking message will challenge your understanding of God's plan, especially in moments when it feels like you're doing everything right but still not seeing the fruit of your labor.
