The spring 2022 battle for Kyiv was "one of the most tragic – and the most bizarre – events in modern history," writes Illia Ponomarenko. "Outnumbered and outgunned, Ukraine sustained the most critical blow and unexpectedly delivered Russia the greatest and most defining defeat of this war. It spelt a stunning end to the Kremlin's megalomaniac plans of an easy conquest of a 40-million-person nation. Ukraine did it alone, by itself, still with very little defence aid from the West, And that uneven victory altered the course of European history". In I Will Show You How It Was: The Story of Wartime Kyiv (Bloomsbury, 2024), Ponomarenko recalls life in Ukraine's capital during the delusional, extended Christmas leading up to Russia's full-scale invasion, after the shock and awe of the first night and the fight for the northern suburbs, and amid the joy of victory.  It is the story of a nation, a city, a reporter and his friends, family, and colleagues. A founder and defence editor of the Kyiv Independent, which he left last summer to write the book, Ponomarenko mixes reporting with polemic. The mixture has turned this 32-year-old native Russian speaker from southern Donbas into one of the war's biggest media personalities with 1.2 million Twitter followers. *The authors' book recommendations are Babi Yar: The Story of Ukraine's Holocaust by Anatoly Kuznetsov as "A. Anatoli" (first published in Russian in 1966; in English translation by David Floyd with Vintage Classics, 2024) and Our Enemies Will Vanish: The Russian Invasion and Ukraine's War of Independence by Yaroslav Trofimov (Penguin, 2024).

We have all seen the movie, Black Hawk Down! We have all imagined what it felt like to be on the ground with those heroes in that battle and to honor and believe in not leaving a soldier behind. My guest this week was, in fact, one of these very soldiers as he was deployed with the Army Rangers to Somalia during this terrible time. I was honored to have Steve Sr. sit in with me on this one until work called and he had to leave. I can tell you that when we sat down, David and I had a target time of inside of 75 minutes. That target was no where close to the time that this story deserves. I was honored to have him share his experiences with me first hand. I hope that you will feel the way I did after you listen to this episode and put yourself in the shoes of these brave soldiers as these events unfolded. The movie (Black Hawk Down) does a lot of fair justice to the events that took place but October 3rd and 4th of 1993 was a time that these survivors will never forget and we should not let the ones that gave the ultimate sacrifice be forgotten. Please stop by The Gun Store and Range on Hwy 701 if you live here or if you are in the Myrtle Beach and Conway area and support this veteran owned store. Enjoy!!!!!!!!!

Launching and running a community-focused news title is a tough task. So what does it take to get one off the ground?

News matters to local communities. How can we generate the most possible resource available for local news and then produce the best possible local newspaper with that resource?This is the starting point for Social Spider, which publishes five local newspapers. David Floyd, MD of the 2003-established social enterprise, joins us to explain Social Spider's purpose-driven, sustainable approach to “fill the gap left by the retreat and decline of corporate local news."How? David explains, covering Social Spider's social, editorial and commercial models, its approach to quality journalism and revenue generation, how its newspapers are embedded within their communities – and why local news is a brilliant opportunity for social enterprises.With a staff team of 17 Social Spider is increasing reader membership numbers, advertising income, and impact. Having fantastic, high-quality content is only one part of making the model work, he says. David's observations on journalism and the media today, building communities, commercial and social models and initiatives like the Local Democracy Service are well worth your time.David's also a fellow of the Finance Innovation Lab which seeks new approaches to finance and investment which works for communities – his focus has been social investment. So I asked his view on how to encourage more or better social investment into social enterprises.Also in today's show: new funding opportunities for businesses and social enterprises, upcoming events, some book recommendations, and a round-up of other episodes covering the media.

On this week's episode of Media Voices we hear from David Floyd, MD of Social Spider, a community interest company that publishes five community newspapers in London. He tells us about finding a new model for local news - one that's maybe commercially viable enough - and about why local news matters.

On episode 83 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, we drop you smack dab in the center of AlienCon Baltimore! When Ryan wasn't speaking, moderating panels, and facilitating UFO witness sessions, he was invading the vendor hall and green room to bring a collection of interviews from some of the most notable speakers at this three-day event. You'll hear from many UFO researchers, Ancient Aliens contributors, and even some audio from exclusive panel discussions, including a Q&A with Paul Hynek, son of the acclaimed astronomer, J. Allen Hynek. Guests also include Richard Dolan, Nick Pope, Ramy Romany, Travis Walton, Alejandro Rojas, Karen Brard, Stephen Bassett, Jason McClellan, Dr. David Floyd, and Patrick Harnett. With attendance growing at this event every outing, it is clear that the UFO and alien topics are inching ever closer to the mainstream, and Ryan was fortunate enough to be in the middle of it all. And now, you will too. This is one for the books, so sit back, strap in, and remember, we're not saying it's aliens... but... you know the rest!

I talk to a newbie chilli grower who has taken the pursuit of chilli greatness almost as seriously as he takes his job as an Apache helicopter pilot, and chilli expert David Floyd, author of chilli guide book 101 Chillies To Try Before You Die. 

Join Monster X Radio hosts Gunnar Monson and Shane Corson as the talk with Professor David Floyd about our favorite subject...Bigfoot! David Floyd is an Associate Professor of English at Charleston Southern University, where he teaches British fiction. He earned his PhD from the University of Stirling, Scotland, and is the author of Street Urchins, Sociopaths, and Degenerates: Orphans of Late-Victorian and Edwardian Fiction. David has published work on medieval, Gothic, and Victorian literature and presented at conferences in England, Scotland, and the US. He is currently pursuing a second PhD, in psychology, through the University of Helsinki. David has spoken at the Ohio Bigfoot Conference, last year’s Virginia Bigfoot Conference, and will speak at 2017’s International Bigfoot Conference. He has also appeared several times on the SasWhat podcast. His primary research deals with the consistent presence of bigfoot-type creatures in folklore and legend throughout human history, and the theory that, far from being merely some psychological archetype or cultural emblem, that there is a substantive, biological reality behind the accounts of this mysterious creature. His presentation for this year’s conference focuses on swamp-dwelling Bigfoot. http://www.vabigfootconference.com/speakers.html Gunnar Monson is a long time Bigfoot researcher. He is the lead investigator of the Tillamook Forest Research Group (TFRG) as well as a member of The Olympic Project.  He is also the founder of Monster X Radio sponsor, The Sasquatch Coffee Company (www.squatchcoffee.com) Born in Scotland, Shane Corson's interest in cryptids began at an early age. His 2011 sighting while on a fishing trip in the Mt. Hood National Forest only served to fuel his passion for the pursuit. Shane is a core member of the TFRG as well as the Olympic Project.

This week Mark and Seth sat down with Dr. David Floyd for a talk about his areas of study, his research into the Bigfoot phenomenon, Lizard Man, and Southern Bigfoot reports. David unleashes a handful of fascinating reports from South Carolina that are especially intriguing. Disclaimer: there were some technical difficulties this week during the interview so some portions of the audio may drop out. Apologies but these things are beyond our control or that of the guests. Thanks for understanding.David's bio follows...Dr. David FloydDavid Floyd is a professor of English at Charleston Southern University. He has presented papers on monstrous figures in Gothic, medieval, and Victorian literature in England, Scotland, and the US. Steeped in the ghost stories and legends of coastal South Carolina, Floyd has a natural interest in Bigfoot and other cryptids that has led him to research the socio-religious and psycho-cultural aspects of the phenomena. Currently working on a Masters in criminology, Floyd is also interested in applying criminological theory to Bigfoot research. He is currently working on a book on the sociological and psychological facets of monsters and monstrosity, including a chapter based on his talk for this year’s conference, which seeks to articulate the implications of the creature’s existence and perhaps even broaden its meaning in our modern era.Don't forget to visit SasWhat.com or facebook.com/saswhatDownload the show at... iTunes https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/saswhat-podcast-about-bigfoot/id889714608?mt=2 or Stitcher http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/saswhat-a-podcast-about-bigfootIf you liked the show please feel free to leave us a rating/review on iTunes OR Stitcher.
