Fitzhugh Brundage, author of A Fate Worse Than Hell, describes how Andersonville became a death camp where 35,000 men were crammed into a space with no shelter and polluted water. Commander Henry Wirz oversaw a site where over 100 men died daily from starvation and disease. After the war, Wirz was prosecuted for war crimes, arguing unsuccessfully that he was only following orders from superiors like Winder. His execution set an international precedent for military accountability and helped shape the future Geneva Conventions. (7)1865

Excise duty cuts for petrol and diesel are now in effect. The Dail voted to approve reductions last night that will see petrol and diesel lowered by 15 cents and 20 cents per litre at the pumps respectively, along with additional supports for hauliers and coach services, as the Government attempts to tackle rising fuel costs. However, consumer groups are warning it may be some days before the cuts are reflected at the pumps. Retailers are allowed to get rid of older more expensive stock that was bought in before the cuts were implemented. Tánaiste Simon Harris says these cuts will be effective for all. But are these measures enough, and who really stands to benefit? To discuss, Alan Morrissey was joined by Meelick Fianna Fáil TD Cathal Crowe and Shannon Sinn Féin TD Donna McGettigan.

The Strange Disappearance of Ms Dail DinwiddieBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/missing-persons-mysteries--5624803/support.
Just when the caravan thinks the worst is behind them, the night turns deadly. The moon vanishes. The world loses its color. And from the darkness come the Shadow Mastiffs—massive, ghostly hounds dripping with shadow and malice.Holden's psychic blades flash under Lucia's icy blue light as Dail and Jace rush to protect the terrified travelers. But not everyone makes it out alive.In this heart-pounding combat episode of Twenty Sides: The Nexus, the party:Faces four monstrous Shadow Mastiffs attacking from all sides of the caravanWatches Lucia illuminate the night with Light, revealing their invisible enemiesSees Tib's desperate scream cut short as the hounds drag him into the darkFights tooth and claw with heroism, lightning bolts, and psychic strikesUncovers clues about these creatures—connected somehow to the Drarkana Wilds and the missing moonsIt's a brutal fight for survival that leaves the camp bloodied, shaken, and full of questions. Why does the world keep fading to black and white—and what hunts them from beyond the veil?
The caravan to Silverport turns deadly when the world fades to black and white once again. Dail and Lucia, still mounted on Butterscotch, face down a shadowy rider wielding a bow of smoke and a blade of pure darkness. Holden and Jace scramble to support as arrows fly, spells spark, and the fate of the caravan hangs in the balance.In this high-stakes combat episode of Twenty Sides: The Nexus, the party:Confronts a spectral warrior in the Mirth Wood, armed with bow and bladeSees Lucia unleash a devastating Lightning Bolt from horsebackWatches Holden slash with psychic blades while Jace slows the enemy with a clutch spellRallies as Dail charges on Butterscotch, delivering the final, cinematic killing blowWitnesses the world flicker back into color—only to fade again, leaving more questions than answersAs the shaken caravan presses forward, one truth remains: these shadow incursions aren't isolated events. And each battle seems to echo something far more sinister waiting just beyond the veil.
The caravan to Silverport begins without trouble—until the world itself fades to black and white. Horses panic, the air grows cold, and Dail sees something no one else can: another version of herself waving her closer. Against warnings, she rides forward… and vanishes with Lucia into another realm.Meanwhile, Holden and Jace are left behind on the road, desperately searching for their missing friends. But Dail and Lucia find themselves in the Mirth Wood, a haunting mirror of the material plane where shadows drip like ink and monstrous hounds stalk the trees.In this eerie, plane-shifting episode of Twenty Sides: The Nexus, the party:Joins a caravan bound for Silverport, meeting colorful new travelersEncounters a sudden shift where the world loses all colorWatches Dail and Lucia pulled into the shadowed Mirth WoodFaces down massive shadow mastiffs with dripping jawsStruggles as the group is split between two planes of existenceCan Holden and Jace find a way into the Mirth Wood before their friends are torn apart? Or has the party finally been divided by more than distance?
After escaping the collapsing ruins beneath the Broken Circle, the party emerges with something far more dangerous than they expected: a swirling white orb, pulsing with silver light. Holden's vision of chained gods and a void-born entity still haunts him, and now the group must decide—trust the scholars of Glen, or keep the orb hidden from prying eyes?In this lore-heavy yet heartfelt episode of Twenty Sides: The Nexus, the party:Debates what to do with the orb and whether to trust Professor GilesHides the artifact in Dail's shed… for nowShares Holden's vision of gods, chains, and the breaking seal—“The first is broken. Six remain.”Experiments with the orb, watching Dail's sword glow with divine etchings and feeling magic pulse around them stronger than everEnjoys a halfling homecoming, complete with carrot stew, family hugs, and talk of what comes nextLevels up to Level 5, ready to face even greater threatsThe orb may be tied to Glen's time distortion—and possibly to the fading of magic itself. With Silverport and the Archive of Ash and Echoes on the horizon, the party must decide if they are keepers of this secret… or pawns in a much larger war.
Beneath the Broken Circle, the party finds themselves in a deadly clash with a spectral guardian and his skeletal entourage. Moonlight beams crash down. Blades clash. Shields slam. But even victory comes with heavier questions.In this combat-heavy, lore-rich episode of Twenty Sides: The Nexus, the adventurers:Battle a heavily armored sentinel and his skeletal guard in a narrow hallwayDiscover a third glowing necklace tied to Dail's sword and Alden's mysterious legacyUnearth lost knowledge of the Celestial Concord and their desperate attempts to anchor the moons against a devouring voidFind records of twelve lunar convergence points and a cryptic artifact known as the Umbral Core, sealed beneath the First CircleLearn of an ancient library hidden in the Hills—its knowledge said to resist the erasure of timeEvery discovery ties them deeper into a conflict spanning millennia. The question remains: are they uncovering a path to salvation… or unleashing what the Concord tried to contain?
The fight beneath Glen continues—and ends—with a chilling discovery.After defeating three skeletal sentinels under the Broken Circle, the party pushes deeper into the ancient Concord ruins. But what waits behind the next door is no undead warrior. It's something alive… or worse, something in-between.In this eerie, lore-rich episode of Twenty Sides: The Nexus, the party:Faces a terrifying robed figure with elongated fingers and pulsing, glowing skinSurvives a blinding light blast and a brutal close-quarters battle in a narrow hallwayDiscovers a second necklace—identical to the one Dail carries—that reacts to her swordHears an ominous message spoken directly into Dail's mind: “He does not know what he carries… but we did.”Deciphers a poem carved into the remains of a shattered obelisk that warns of twelve lights, a throne of void, and a god that ends the dreamThis episode blends intense combat, cryptic foreshadowing, and an unfolding mystery that may reshape everything the party believes about the world, the Concord Era… and themselves.
