Before our return with Season 26 next week, we're revisiting some of the most memorable experiences ever featured on The Dark Paranormal, presented for the first time as complete, uninterrupted stories. This week, we bring you all three parts of Kinar's extraordinary “Dark Arts” trilogy in one continuous episode. Beginning with an experience originally shared on Dark Bites before the response prompted us to bring a fuller account to the main show, Kinar's story would eventually span several years, two continents, and three separate appearances on The Dark Paranormal. What begins as one deeply unsettling encounter develops into something far larger, as Kinar's determination to understand exactly what happened to him leads him further down a path where history, belief and the unexplained become increasingly difficult to separate. So, whether you remember Kinar's story from its original releases or are hearing it for the very first time, tonight you can experience the entire journey from beginning to end.Stay safe,Kevin.We're giving a full week's trial of our Patreon away!

The Bourbon Road
514. Picking the Perfect Barrel: Jackson Purchase Live on the Mat

The Bourbon Road

Todd Ritter flies solo without his usual co-host Jim Shannon, but he's far from alone — returning guest Amzie Wenning joins alongside David Sandlin from the House of Commons Bar in Frankfort, Kentucky. The episode centers on a live barrel pick for Bourbon on the Banks Festival, with the trio working through three single-barrel samples from Jackson Purchase Distillery before landing on their selection. Along the way, they warm up with Jackson Purchase's newest release and close out with a surprise bonus pour that pushes the boundaries of what a bourbon podcast usually covers. On the Tasting Mat: - Jackson Purchase Kentucky Select: A 108-proof (54% ABV) straight bourbon built on a 70/20/10 corn-rye-malted barley mash bill, aged approximately four to four and a half years. The nose opens with brown sugar, cinnamon, and a morning-bun warmth — coffee cake and orange zest. The palate delivers sweet corn up front, cinnamon that carries from the nose, and a pleasant mid-palate spice. Caramel and a touch of maple round out the mid-palate, with black tea and a light pepper sizzle on the finish. Impressive color and complexity for its age. *(00:01:58)* - Jackson Purchase Barrel #345 (Single Barrel Sample) — 126.2 proof: One of three barrel candidates submitted for the Bourbon on the Banks Festival pick, distilled October 13, 2021 (lot code 21J13), aged four and a half years, 70/20/10 mash bill. The nose shows vanilla, snickerdoodle cookie dough, and a warm cinnamon-sugar sweetness. On the palate the sweetness is forward and easy-drinking, with clove, orange citrus, and brown sugar notes that read like mulled cider spices. The finish carries a pleasant spicy sizzle with black pepper. Re-visiting this barrel after the other two caused the vanilla to bloom further on the nose. *(00:36:10)* - Jackson Purchase Barrel #363 (Single Barrel Sample) — 128.6 proof: The highest-proof of the three candidates, also four and a half years old on the same mash bill, distilled October 15, 2021 (lot code 21J15). The nose leads with malted barley, honey bread, and a faint grain character — reminiscent of fresh-milled malt. A floral, herbal quality (sage, light thyme) and a lemon-zest citrus note emerge with time. On the palate, honey and malted barley dominate up front, followed by a punch of mid-palate spice. The finish arrives as a wave rather than a sharp sizzle, fading to lemon, black tea, and a gentle tingle on the tongue. *(00:38:00)* - Jackson Purchase Barrel #373 (Single Barrel Sample) — 125.8 proof: The lowest-proof candidate, sharing the same October 15, 2021 fill date and lot code (21J15) as Barrel #363. The nose carries some similarities to Barrel #363 — malt, black tea — but with a faint phenolic or smoky quality and a touch of salinity. The grain character is less pronounced than in Barrel #363. On the palate, it offers a cleaner, more refined profile with a notably long and satisfying finish that stood out from the other two candidates. *(00:41:01)* - Copper and Kings Brandy — Barrel Select (140.4 proof): A 10-year-old grape brandy from Copper and Kings in Louisville, Kentucky, made from a blend of Folle Blanche, Muscat, and Colombard grapes, aged entirely in a used Weller bourbon barrel. This is the Bourbon on the Banks Festival single barrel selection for 2025. The nose is all grape candy, lemon zest, and green tea with lemon — vibrant and aromatic. The palate delivers concord grape, lemon citrus, apple, and a honeyed richness that references the bourbon barrel without losing its brandy identity. A uniquely approachable yet complex spirit that bridges the worlds of brandy and bourbon. *(00:53:29)* Jackson Purchase Distillery, founded with Kentucky Bourbon Hall of Famer Craig Beam and master distiller Terry Ballard and located in Hickman, Fulton County — just two and a half miles from Tennessee — is producing some of the most impressive young bourbon in the commonwealth. A visitor experience is expected to open in fall 2025, so check before making the drive. Bourbon on the Banks returns to Frankfort, Kentucky, with an expanded single barrel program featuring picks from Angel's Envy, Wilderness Trail, Dark Arts, Heaven Hill, Jeptha Creed, Leapers Fork, Abstraction Spirits, Boondocks, Whiskey Thief, and more.

Tonight on The Pipes Magazine Radio Show, our featured guest is Russell Gardner, owner of Dark Arts, a unique smoking lounge and retail tobacconist in Las Vegas. A longtime veteran of the restaurant and bar business, Russell owns several themed cocktail lounges, but his latest venture took an unexpected turn when he transformed a small back room at Grey Witch into a hidden, speakeasy-style smoking lounge and tobacconist. Dark Arts accommodates about 25 people, and getting inside is part of the experience – you actually enter through a fireplace. Russell is also a rare Las Vegas native, and his connection to pipe smoking goes back to high school, when he picked up a pipe at age 15 after starting out with cigars. Brian and Russell will talk about Dark Arts, the inspiration behind the unusual space, and the Las Vegas pipe scene. At the top of the show, in Pipe Parts, we'll have the fifth installment of our coffee pairing series with Bo Parker of Methodical Coffee.

There are many ways to age a cheese so how best to refine its flavours over time? Welcome to the art of affinage - a French term that translates as "refining" a cheese - and a practice that is starting to take off in the UK. Sheila Dillon attends a competition to find the Affineur of the Year and discovers that the way you age a cheese can dramatically change its taste and texture. A cheddar can become more like a comté by changing the temperature, humidity and length of the ripening process. She hears from practitioners who regularly wash and turn their cheeses. Some have buried cheeses in coal holes, encased them in clay pots or even played them music to find new ways of making traditional cheeses taste differently. Experimentation with these techniques has led to new cheeses entering the market. In this programme the dark arts of affinage will be revealed.Presented by Sheila Dillon and produced in Bristol for BBC Audio by Robin Markwell

My guest on the show today is Len Gutkin, editor of The Chronicle Review, which is the ideas and analysis section of the Chronicle of Higher Education. Len, in his freelance life, is a critic whose essays have appeared in Liberties, The Los Angeles Review of Books, and elsewhere.He got his PhD in English from Yale in 2014, spent some time as a postdoc at Harvard, and has spent the years since largely at Chronicle, writing about the intellectual and institutional life of the American university with, from my perspective, an admirable sense of skin in the game; is somebody who cares about this stuff, and you can sense it in his writing.This episode with Len is something of a throwback for the show. A lot of my early episodes were pretty squarely focused on the culture wars — wokeness, anti-wokeness, what was going on in the academy, in journalism, in politics that kind of thing — and I have definitely drifted away from that territory, I think for good reason, in large part because I, like so many other people, kind of ran out of interesting new things to say about it.But I am coming back to it here because Len's recent [paywalled - email Len for access] essay in Liberties, which he titles “Reading for Sins,” is the kind of piece that can probably only be written in retrospect, with a bit of distance from the hullabaloo. Len takes on what he calls at one point, maybe with a hint of apology, “snowflake hermeneutics”: the tendency, particularly acute in the literary humanities over the last decade or so, to read works of art primarily, or at least substantially, for the sins they contain; to fixate on the morally or politically objectionable aspects of books at the expense of everything else about them.He approaches that less to condemn it, though there's no secret as you're reading it that he's not a fan of this approach to literature, than to give it what I think of as a genuine institutional and intellectual history — to understand it as something other than the thing that gives Chris Rufo too many owie feelings.To do that, Len ranges pretty widely. He gets into the sociology of taboo, the history of literary education, and, among other examples, a 2023 controversy over Merve Emre's New Yorker review of John Guillory's book Professing Criticism. Guillory's book argued that literary scholars as a profession had made a rather grievous conceptual error at some point along the way: they came to think that their work as scholars was justified, at least in part, on the basis of its beneficial political impact on society. In some extreme cases, scholars saw themselves explicitly as activists, but in many cases it was somewhat more indirect. They had constructed a paradigm in which the critical, inquisitive, deconstructive work they did served clear political ends.Guillory was critical of that. Emre, reviewing his book for The New Yorker, lexplored his argument and then added some of her own, drawing on her own experience in academia. In doing so, and this is key to how Len gets into it in his essay, she repeatedly used a phrase that Guillory himself had used to characterize what had happened to his field: “professional deformation.” It is the English translation of what was a originally a French expression used to describe actual physical deformations, like the way coal miners might develop a distinctive slump or hunch.That phrase then provided the spark for an explosion of outrage from members of a public Facebook group called Remaking the University, administered by a former president of the Modern Language Association and populated by tenured and tenure-track faculty at high-prestige institutions. They did not like Emre's use of “professional deformation.” Here is how Len, in his Liberties essay, characterizes what he observed in that Facebook group:I paid more than usual attention to the reception of Professing Criticism, because I had written about it several times myself. I was interested to see what the folks at a popular public Facebook page devoted to “Remaking the University,” hosted by a recent president ofthe Modern Language Association, would make of Emre's review. They didn't like it. And several of them — tenured professors of English, not naïve or overeager freshmen — were appalled by Guillory's use of the phrase “deformation,” as well as by Emre's approving use of it throughout her review. The subject is introduced thus, by a distinguished Victorianist: “I just read this and I'm feeling dismayed” by the “flippant, careless, and damaging work, including the unspeakable use of ‘deformation' here, not to mention the Anglocentrism, elitism, etc.” This professor goes on: “It is horrifying that a person can use ‘deformed'/‘deformation' in 2023 in an article in a major magazine and nobody flagged it.” Then another professor — like the first, a well-known scholar in her field — weighs in: “the ableism was stunning.” And the first professor returns to the charge: “I just did a search for ‘deformed' and felt physically ill. She uses it nine times in the article, starting with ‘hideously deformed.' What the hell? How are disabled scholars supposed to feel when they read that? How is it possible that she could think it was cute to use such a derogatory term and that the editors didn't flag it? I don't even see how one can debate the merits of the idea with slurs like that sitting in the prose.”In a less interesting essay than Len's, we would simply be presented with this as blatant evidence of snowflakes doing their snowflake hermeneutics. Len's approach is more interesting. He is somewhat taking for granted that it's absurd, but he's asking: what is actually going on here? What does it mean to say that one feels physically ill from reading the word “deformation” in this context? What feelings or reactions are being submerged, evaded, or sublimated in this kind of discussion? For what ulterior purpose was the accusation of ableism serving as a stalking horse? And why were people so pissed off in the first place?One answer Len gives has to do with the idea of words themselves as magic, as sacred, as having the power to heal or harm or alter the fabric of the universe. He points out that this is not a novel relationship to words — it is in fact ancient, and it connects in a pretty clear way, once he lays it out, to a much longer and then much more modern history of how literature, and the study of literature and other humanities, has functioned in the modern West as a kind of substitute for religion in the aftermath of the collapse of organized Christianity as a taken-for-granted source of meaning, vessel for sacred energies. The close reading of difficult texts was, within that period, understood as a serious spiritual practice.What Len argues — and what I find genuinely compelling and pretty persuasive — is that snowflake hermeneutics is in part a rearguard response to the loss of that function. The prestige that attached to literary study in that earlier period has drained away, and nobody quite knows how to recover from it. Snowflake hermeneutics is, in this reading, an unconscious attempt to restore some of literature's old sacred charge by treating certain words and representations as sacred but in a negative register, because the positive ones can no longer serve. They've been vanquished from the inside by the contemporary academy, and then more thoroughly vanquished by the macro forces we're all buffeted by — neoliberalism, postmodernity, capital, techno-futurism, whatever you want to call them.That is a much more interesting conversation to have than simply “snowflakes bad,” which isn't really a conversation at all. Also interesting is where Len and I end up when we try to take seriously the role of taboo, the idea that certain words are genuinely destabilizing and that we need protection from them. We talk about whether taboos of some kind are necessary to the functioning of any society, whether any culture can really do entirely without taboos, whether everything should truly be on the table in a scholarly or intellectual context.We go deep on those things and others, and I had a lot of fun.One small production note: Len's dog makes a brief but notable appearance early in the conversation. His barking, though loud, does not last long. He is not a bad dog. He is a good dog. But if you hear him and it feels disruptive, it will pass soon.Eminent Americans is produced in collaboration with the John C.

Public DNA databases were trawled without their users consent, samples were entered under false pretences, and hundreds if not thousands of people had their rights violated. But, they did eventually catch their man, and walk him up the garden path, leaving a roast to overcook in the oven. Join us in part 3 of our now 4 part series on the Golden State Killer as we discuss how Joseph James DeAngelo was finally caught.--Patreon - Ad-free & Bonus EpisodesYouTube - Full-length Video EpisodesTikTok / Instagram

Send us Fan MailA barrel can be magic, or it can be ruined before it ever touches whiskey. We sit down with Macaulay Mitten (Dark Arts Whiskey House, aka The Bourbon Swami) to get painfully specific about what separates a memorable finish from a disaster: producer selection, barrel handling, shipping heat, and the kind of quality control most drinkers never see.We also crack open the America 250 release: an almost 11.5-year blend bottled at a hefty 128.28 proof. We talk about why blending at cask strength leaves nowhere to hide, how custom char and toast profiles can lift the flavors you want without dragging in bitterness, and what “bold” can taste like when it's built with intention. Expect notes and frameworks you can use the next time you're evaluating barrel proof bourbon, sherry cask finishing, or why proofing can change a brand's consistency.Then the conversation expands into what's next at the Whiskey House: patio upgrades, cigars and pairing strategy, a caviar and whiskey event, and the launch of Noble Arts for botanical spirits. Macaulay teases a navy strength gin designed for big oils and louche, absinthe experiments that could lead to absinthe-finished rye, and more one-off drops headed toward Kentucky Bourbon Festival, including a 19-year Mizunara-aged bourbon and other serious “eat lunch first” pours.Subscribe for more deep whiskey nerd conversations, share this with a friend who loves finishes, and leave us a five-star review if you want more guests who get into the real details.We catch up with Macaulay Mitten and talk through how Dark Arts turns sourced barrels into distinctive, high-impact blends with real control over finishing and flavor.

How Honey Shaped Bourbon From Mead & Hot Toddies To Dark Arts

Send us Fan MailWe trace how honey moved from ancient mead to American whiskey culture, then taste modern honey expressions to see what the hype gets right. We also get honest about the messy line between “finished” and “flavored” and why labels and proof matter as much as sweetness.• honey as one of the earliest sweeteners in alcohol and why it pairs naturally with bourbon flavours like vanilla and caramel • the hot toddy as an 1800s remedy and how prohibition kept honey whiskey relevant • why local honey sources and honey styles can change aroma and mouthfeel • Dark Arts honey cask finish and what “finishing” is supposed to mean • Green River's real honey approach and the debate over what counts as finished versus flavored • Starlight's honey-barrel concept and how barrel character shows up in taste and finish • Jim Beam Honey as a honey liqueur style product and where it fits best • our Barrel Bottle Breakdown scoring for nose, body, taste, and finish plus the final winner Remember, we're www.scotchyburbonboys.com for all things scotchy bourbon boys. If you're listening to us on like Apple, make sure you go to Apple, give us a five-star review. If you're watching on YouTube, become a member or leave us super chats. Make sure that you drink responsibly. Don't drink and drive.Honey in bourbon sounds like an easy win, until you taste a few side by side and realize you're not always drinking the same “category” of whiskey. Tonight we dig into the history that made honey a natural whiskey partner long before modern cocktails, from ancient mead traditions to the 1800s hot toddy that families still treat like medicine. Along the way, we talk about why honey works so well with bourbon's built-in notes of vanilla, caramel, brown sugar, toasted oak, and baking spice.Then we get practical and pour three very different bottles, including a honey-cask finished blend that leans into “liquid gold” depth, a bottle that literally involves pouring real honey into bourbon, and a craft approach that uses honey-aged barrels to layer sweetness on top of serious barrel character. You'll hear what shows up on the nose, where the honey actually lands on the palate, and how proof changes the entire experience from rich and integrated to straight-up dessert.We also tackle the question bourbon fans keep arguing about: where does finishing end and flavoring begin, especially when honey's viscosity makes barrels hard to truly “empty”? If you care about transparency, labeling, and whether “a hint of sweetness” is honest, you'll want this one.Subscribe for more bourbon deep-dives, share this with a friend who loves honey whiskey, and leave us a review with your take: is honey-finished bourbon a gateway pour or its own lane?voice over Whiskey Thief If You Have Gohsts Support the showhttps://www.scotchybourbonboys.comThe Scotchy bourbon Boys are #3 in Feedspots Top 60 whiskey podcasts in the world    https://podcast.feedspot.com/whiskey_podcasts/

For decades, the striker had one job: stand in the box and score goals. Then Guardiola made them midfielders, Klopp made them defenders, and now Erling Haaland has arrived to destroy the system. Welcome back to FUT IN REVIEW | World Cup Daily. In Episode 5, host GPM is joined by Art (all the way from Poland) and John (live from Perth) to settle the ultimate football debate.Has the classic center-forward actually died, or is Haaland proving it was just waiting? More importantly, which tactical system will conquer the World Cup this summer?We dive deep into the evolution of the game's most iconic shirt:The Classic Hitmen: Remembering the era of Alan Shearer, Gabriel Batistuta, Didier Drogba, and El Fenómeno (R9).The Guardiola Revolution: How the False Nine system with Lionel Messi and Roberto Firmino changed football forever.The Haaland Paradox: Why Manchester City's tactical mastermind brought in a 35 km/h blonde Viking to win the treble—and why the False Nine might just be a workaround for when you don't have Haaland.The Ultimate World Cup Test: Fluid football vs. Brute force. We contrast tournament favorites Spain (building around Yamal and Nico Williams without a traditional striker) against dark horses Norway (completely built around feeding Haaland).The Complete Forward: Why Harry Kane is the ultimate modern template—and whether he will secure the Golden Boot for England.The Lewandowski Dilemma: Art breaks down why Robert Lewandowski thrives at Barcelona but struggles as a classic 9 for Poland.Listen Early & Win Prizes: Want to hear every episode the exact second we finish recording?

Professor Julian Wamble returns to the Defense Against the Dark Arts bonus episode with listener responses from Patreon, Discord, and Spotify. Three threads drive the conversation: whether Dumbledore ever actually tried to break the curse on the DADA position, whether Lucius Malfoy as Chair of Governors had reasons to keep it broken, and what magical education is failing to teach about consent, consequences, and the ethics of power. The reflection asks a bigger question: why don't we have a real-world equivalent of DADA? Because we don't need one. The conditioning DADA has to do explicitly in a classroom happens in our world through media, history, policing, and the composition of the spaces we grow up in. The fear arrives before school does. What school teaches, in the wizarding world and ours, isn't how to defend yourself. It's who the defenders are.

In this episode on Hogwarts courses, Professor Julian Wamble takes on Defense Against the Dark Arts and finds more to critique than expected. The central argument: DADA was never really about defense. It only becomes urgent in reaction to crisis, and even then, it teaches fear rather than discernment. Every professor through Year 4 embodies the very darkness the class claims to oppose, from possession and fraud to stigma and deception, exposing what the institution refuses to name. Wamble pushes further, asking what "dark" actually means when love potions are legal, Obliviate is ministry policy, and Harry himself casts Cruciatus. The line between dark and light is not a wall. It is a mirror. Ultimately, Wamble argues that a true Defense Against the Dark Arts course would not just teach counter-curses. It would teach moral imagination: how to recognize harm, resist the seduction of necessity, and how to not become the monster.
