The Kinks-The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society (Pye Records) Release date: November 22, 1968The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society stands as one of the most beloved "lost classics" in rock history. Released in 1968 to almost no commercial success, the album has since become widely recognized as Ray Davies' songwriting masterpiece and one of the defining works of British popular music. Rather than embracing the psychedelic experimentation dominating the era, Davies crafted an intimate collection of character sketches and nostalgic reflections celebrating ordinary people, disappearing traditions, and the quiet beauty of English village life. Musically, the record blends melodic British pop, folk, music hall, blues, and subtle psychedelic touches into a remarkably cohesive whole. Although it failed to chart upon release, its influence has steadily grown, inspiring generations of artists including Blur, Oasis, and countless indie bands. Today, Village Green is regarded as one of the greatest albums of the 1960s—a timeless meditation on memory, identity, and the importance of preserving humanity in a rapidly changing world. (S5-EP24)

Have you ever heard of emotional hoarding? It's when we not only carry the emotional baggage that weighs us down—we stockpile it, nurture it, and refuse to let it go. So, today on the 4:13, author Laurie Davies explains how unresolved emotions can quietly affect our relationships, our spiritual lives, and even our physical health. She unpacks the hidden dangers of holding on to emotions like worry, regret, dread, and bitterness—and why they can become so familiar that we don't even recognize their hold on us. But Laurie doesn't just help you identify the clutter. She'll show you how to clear it! You'll learn how to uncover the root of what's keeping you stuck, process those harmful emotions instead of possessing them, and get on the path to freedom.  It's time to toss out the emotional weight that adds no value to your life and move from hoarding to healing.

Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones held the preaching of Samuel Davies in exceptionally high regard, famously telling an American audience:"You Americans do not know one of your greatest preachers." He went on to declare Davies to be "the greatest preacher you have ever produced in this country" (or the finest/most eloquent preacher the American continent has produced). Because of this profound admiration, Lloyd-Jones frequently recommended that those preparing for the ministry study and read Davies' old sermons alongside those of other historical figures like George Whitefield and Jonathan Edwards.

Bible StudyDon't just take our word for it . . . take His! We would encourage you to spend time examining the following Scriptures that shaped this sermon: Sermon OutlineJesus our messengerJesus our mediatorJesus our masterSermon QuestionsThe Priority of Delight over Discipline: Delight is not the consequence of doctrine and discipline, but rather their foundation. Think of a craft or hobby you enjoy—like knitting, blacksmithing, or birdwatching. How does your delight in that activity naturally lead you to practice its "disciplines"? How might shifting your focus from "doing chores for God" to "delighting in God" change your spiritual life?The "Inarticulate" vs. the "Articulate": Jesus contrasts the "articulate" religious leaders—who are crafty—with the "inarticulate" who receive the kingdom. Why is it that those who think they have it all sorted out often miss the message, while those who have a "hard time tying their shoes" are able to receive Jesus?Discipleship as Apprenticeship: Following Jesus is apprenticeship to a Master who gets down on our level to show us how to live. In your life, how have you tried to follow a formula rather than "weaving together perception and movement" through a relationship with Jesus?The Yoke and the Cross: We often think of a "yoke" only as a burden of service, but Matthew links is both a nuptial embrace (a spouse) and the cross. How does viewing the cross as the "plough that upturns the soil of the soul" help you understand Jesus' invitation to "come to me" when you are weary and heavy-burdened?Resources ConsultedJohn Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Saint Matthew (NPNF i.10, Homily 38)Erasmo Leiva-Merikakis, Fire of Mercy, Heart of the Word: Meditations on the Gospel according to St. Matthew, Volume One (Ignatius Press, 1996)W.D.

Ten days earlier, Leo has just had a one-night stand with a man. The man steals his laptop, and Leo runs outside to chase him, but fails and also locks himself out of his house dressed only in pants and a t-shirt. This forces him to knock on his neighbour Clive's door, where he asks if he can call his best friend, Stephanie, who has a spare key. Clive agrees, but later suggests that Leo give him a key for emergencies, and Leo hires him to help at his bar. One of Leo's employees, Zee, has been sleeping at the bar since her home has become unsafe since coming out as transgender, so Leo and the other employees help her pack and move.

Misha Glenny and guests discuss the earliest evidence we have of the existence of trees and how even plants we might have on windowsills or as vegetables in gardens can and do, in the right conditions, evolve into trees. Since their emergence around 400 million years ago after low lying plants started to develop stronger stems and grow taller and more upright, trees have transformed our planet, so creating ecosystems, altering the atmosphere and setting the stage for the world as we know it today.

What if the emotions you've been carrying for years are keeping you from living fully? In this episode, host Ginny Yurich sits down with author Laurie Davies to explore the powerful concept of emotional hoarding - the tendency to stuff away worry, regret, guilt, anger, bitterness, shame, and other difficult emotions until they begin to shape how we live. Laurie shares deeply personal stories from her own life, including childhood trauma, career mistakes, and painful family relationships, to illustrate how emotional clutter accumulates and, more importantly, how we can begin clearing it away. Together, they discuss why most of our worries never come true, how to distinguish real guilt from false guilt, why forgiveness is one of the hardest, and most freeing, choices we can make - and how grace has the power to transform regret. Throughout the conversation, they weave together practical wisdom, neuroscience, personal experience, and biblical truth to offer hope for anyone feeling weighed down by life's emotional burdens. Whether you're wrestling with anxiety, carrying old wounds, struggling with anger, or simply longing for more emotional freedom, this conversation offers encouragement and practical steps toward living lighter.

Brian and Dr. Hogan Sherrow return to The Bigfoot Inquiry after some time away, opening the conversation with a more personal tone as Hogan reflects on the recent loss of his brother and Brian catches listeners up on travel, book signings, and community events. Brian shares stories from a successful two-day appearance at the Expedition Bigfoot Museum in Blue Ridge, Georgia, along with a free Bigfoot town hall in Lenoir, North Carolina that drew a crowd of fifty people and sparked bigger ideas for future gatherings, including the possibility of more public events and even a festival. Hogan also points listeners toward the Southern Oregon Bigfoot Experience in Cave Junction as another example of the community continuing to grow beyond the usual online debates.From there, the episode moves into stranger territory as Brian and Hogan revisit Brian's recent interview with explorer Adam Davies, including Davies's account of a portal and red-eyed entities. That discussion opens the door to a broader debate over habituation claims, extraordinary encounters, and how researchers should respond when stories include cloaking, telepathy, shapeshifting, and other claims that push far beyond ordinary Bigfoot reports.Brian reads through a message from “Kevin,” who invites him to a property in Morganton and describes a series of experiences that raise both curiosity and concern. Hogan urges caution, grounding the conversation in the idea that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, especially when an invitation involves unknown people, private property, and claims that cannot be easily tested.The most personal part of the episode comes when Hogan shares a story from his own family. His brother believed he had seen something Dogman-like in the woods on the family farm late at night, describing glowing eyes and a presence that left a lasting impression on him.Hogan approaches the account with care, balancing respect for his brother's experience with the fact that no physical evidence was ever recovered. It becomes a conversation not just about Dogman, Bigfoot, and the unexplained, but about grief, memory, family stories, and the challenge of taking strange claims seriously without abandoning critical thinking.Brian also talks about Backwoods Bigfoot Stories, his audiobook-style narration work, and what listeners can expect from upcoming episodes, including a future discussion on cherry-picked facts, Missing 411, and the way selective storytelling can shape belief. Listen To Backwoods Bigfoot Stories Email BrianJoin Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.Have you had a Bigfoot encounter, Sasquatch sighting, Dogman experience, or other cryptid or paranormal encounter?

What does death reveal about who we really are?This week I'm joined by Professor Douglas Davies, Director of the Centre for Death and Life Studies at Durham University and one of the world's leading scholars of death, ritual, and belief. His work spans decades and disciplines — from the anthropology of funerals to digital legacy, from woodland burial to the theology of grief — and his central conviction runs through all of it: the dead live within us, and recognising that can help us live better.We talk about the ways death strips away the myth of the self-made individual, revealing that we are fundamentally relational beings — shaped by the people, places, and memories we carry. Along the way, we cover the full arc of how societies and individuals make meaning in the face of mortality.We talk about:Résumé virtues versus eulogy virtues — and why the gap between them mattersThe concept of "dividual" personhood, and why the idea of a fixed, separate self breaks down when we actually look at how people live and grieveHow grief theory has shifted from letting go to continuing bonds — and what that means for how we mournWhy funerals work: their role as social containers for emotion and meaningThe rise of celebration of life services and direct cremation, and what those trends tell usWoodland burial, the scattering of ashes, and the pull of relational placesDying alone, shame, dignity, and what COVID forced us to confront about communityDigital death platforms, online memorials, and why offline ritual still does something differentNew body disposition options, including alkaline hydrolysisPets, suicide, and the ways love complicates every tidy theory of griefFor further reading, Douglas's book Death, Ritual and Belief: The Rhetoric of Funerary Rites (now in its third edition) is a rich and authoritative guide to everything this conversation touches — available from Blackwell's and other independent bookshops.If this episode resonated with you, the best thing you can do is share it with someone.

In this episode of Sasquatch Odyssey, Brian welcomes author, explorer, and cryptozoology researcher Adam Davies for a wide-ranging conversation about Bigfoot, strange creatures, and the deeper mysteries that may surround unexplained encounters in the wilderness. Adam shares how childhood loss, a serious leg injury, and a lifelong drive to explore the unknown pushed him toward cryptozoology and into some of the most remote and dangerous places on earth in search of creatures that science has yet to fully explain.Adam traces the beginning of his North American Bigfoot research to his work with Dr. Jeffrey Meldrum and discusses the investigations that followed across the United States, including powerful experiences in Washington State involving wood knocks, roars, unexplained laughter in the woods, and the controversial campfire photo that continues to spark debate. He also reflects on time spent in the field with researchers including Brian Sykes, Russell Acord, and Thomas Stewart, while offering a candid look at the strengths, weaknesses, and frustrations within modern Bigfoot research.The conversation takes a much stranger turn as Adam recounts a disturbing multi-night experience at Matthew Johnson's habituation site, where he says he witnessed a beam of light, a red mist, and small black red-eyed entities that appeared to move through or emerge from something he could only interpret as interdimensional. Brian and Adam dig into the uneasy overlap between Bigfoot reports, portal claims, strange lights, red-eyed creatures, and the limits of what witnesses are willing to say publicly.Adam also challenges parts of the habituation community, especially claims that rely on extraordinary stories without hard evidence, while discussing cognitive priming, witness underreporting, and why many people stay silent after seeing something they cannot easily explain. He also shares updates on his work with Relic Films, including a dramatic Land Between the Lakes encounter, along with projects like The Vanished and The Awakened. The episode closes with a look at Adam's books and his upcoming nonfiction release, Ghosts and Beasts, which explores the unsettling territory where cryptids, folklore, and paranormal experiences collide.This is a must-listen conversation for anyone interested in Bigfoot, cryptozoology, red-eyed entities, wilderness mysteries, portals, strange mist, and the cases that sit just beyond the edge of conventional explanation.Relic Films YouTube Channel Get Adam's Books Email BrianJoin Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.Have you had a Bigfoot encounter, Sasquatch sighting, Dogman experience, or other cryptid or paranormal encounter?

At the Hay Festival, Misha Glenny and guests discuss the impact of the Norman invasion on the people and land of Wales and across the modern border with England in what became known as The Welsh Marches, march being a term for a militarized borderland. Hay was one of the first Marcher lordships. Even before 1066, William the Conqueror knew that he would have to subdue the Welsh if he were to control the English and he allowed more and more Norman warlords to establish virtually their own private kingdoms in these Marches. Later some of the Lords were to use these bases to invade Ireland rather than conquer the rest of Wales. Marcher Lords built numerous castles such as the one at Hay and many new towns would then grow up alongside these where there was one law for the English and another for the Welsh and, though the Acts of Union under the Tudors brought an end to much of the Marcher Lords' powers, the distinct identity of these Welsh Marches continued.With Rhun Emlyn Lecturer in the Department of History and Welsh History at Aberystwyth UniversityHelen Fulton Professor of Medieval Literature at the University of BristolAnd Huw Pryce Emeritus Professor of Welsh History at Bangor UniversityProducer: Simon TillotsonReading list:R.

They breaking down the team's cautious first half, Canada's missed opportunities, the decisive start to the second half from the Swiss, Maxime Crépeau's performance, and the team's response after falling behind. They also discuss Canada's standout goal, Jesse Marsch's lineup decisions, Stephen Eustáquio's substitute appearance, and Alphonso Davies' absence. The conversation then shifts to Canada's tournament outlook, including a favourable Round of 32 matchup against South Africa and whether the tournament can still be considered a success if Canada is eliminated. After the break, the focus turns to the Blue Jays' series loss to the Astros.

Nigel recently published a really interesting report about why Russia's war, on its present course, has reached a breaking point - when it is no longer economically and demographically sustainable. What Nigel argues is that this will almost inevitably result in a major crisis, both political and financial, that is about to hit Russia within about a year from now - and why in order to keep fighting, the Kremlin will be forced to strip away the last freedoms Russians have and drag the country back toward a Soviet-style governance and economy, with all the social upheaval that it would bring. It's a fascinating analysis that follows a clear logic and a chain of events - and it's definitely worth listening to.

During a 2002 humanitarian trip to Africa aboard Jeffrey Epstein's aircraft, former president Bill Clinton was photographed receiving a brief neck and shoulder massage from Chauntae Davies during a stop at an airport in Portugal. Davies, then 22, was working as a flight attendant for Epstein and later said Epstein had sexually assaulted and exploited her. According to Davies, Clinton complained that his neck had stiffened during the long journey, and Ghislaine Maxwell suggested that Davies—who had trained as a massage therapist—help him. The photographs show Clinton seated while Davies massages his shoulders, creating an especially disturbing image in hindsight because she was traveling within the orbit of the man she later accused of abusing her.Davies has consistently said that Clinton behaved appropriately toward her, describing him as a “perfect gentleman” and characterizing the massage as an innocent, spontaneous interaction rather than sexual conduct. Clinton likewise told congressional investigators that his neck had gone into spasm and that the massage lasted only briefly; he denied knowing at the time that Davies had been victimized by Epstein and denied receiving sexual services from anyone associated with him. The episode does not establish misconduct by Clinton, but it remains symbolically significant because it captures a former president accepting personal attention from a young woman employed within Epstein's operation while traveling alongside Epstein and Maxwell—another example of how survivors were placed in close proximity to powerful people who later claimed they knew nothing about the abuse occurring around them.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

This week we wanted to explore 1980s fantasy. But sometimes it's hard to recover nostalgia when present-day villains keep killing our favorite heroes. Last week, the BBC announced Doctor Who is dead. For now. Rest in peace, Time Lord. Also these days, Stargate fans are rallying to hold Amazon to its original promises of restoring that universe with original creators, and stop the ‘Zon from some “modern audience” reboot. For these and fans of other Star franchises, how do we mourn? Episode sponsors Twist of Time by Tricia Goyer and Nathan Goyer Realm Makers 2026 Conference & Expo Author Update from Author Media Descendant Publishing Mission update New at Lorehaven: new review, Maxine Justice: Public Offender Subscribe free to get updates and join the Lorehaven Guild Quotes and notes “June 3, 2026: Stargate cancelled, for the fourth and likely final time,” Joseph Mallozzi’s Weblog, June 3, 2026 “June 6, 2026: Do Fans Matter?”, Joseph Mallozzi’s Weblog, June 6, 2026 “Why Amazon canceling the new Stargate series is a mistake – and fans are trying to tell them,” Trent Moore at Static on the TV, June 6, 2026 “Former ‘Dr. Who’ showrunner Russell T. Davies says women and transvestites should be over-represented in creative writing until ‘things are balanced,’ even if it takes 100 years.” See this June 10 X.com post @BreitbartNews with video of original Davies interview. “Save Stargate with Martin Gero,” Change.org petition “Lego’s latest design research: what girls want,” Reena Jana at ZDNet.com, Dec. 19, 2011 1. Doctor Who destroyed by Russell T. Davies BBC, June 10: “BBC cancels Doctor Who Christmas special and Russell T Davies announces exit,” absolutely predictable end. Back in 2005, Davies revived Doctor Who serials on television. The series had “politically correct” moments, yet great writing. Writer Steven Moffat took over. The show got big. Then declined. In the late 2010s, political leftists demanded Doctor Who A lackluster showrunner took over. Fans rejected a gender-swap. Davies returned a political omnicause monster. He killed the Doctor. 2. Amazon rejects a fan-centered Stargate Variety, June 2: “‘Stargate' TV Series From Martin Gero Not Moving Forward at Amazon (EXCLUSIVE),” and fans were outraged. Original creators were on board, per the Nov. 2025 announcement. Now they join fans opposing this seeming ridiculous double-back. Amazon may want a “modern audience” show, not original fans. This is a universe more impossible than any sci-fi scenario. That's not how you grow a fanbase ever. True fans will grow it. Stephen finds this similar to #ReleaseTheSnyderCut. He's drawn in! 3. Star Trek/Wars still struggle to survive We saved this for last because fans everywhere rightly lament. Since our last episode on the topic, we've seen major updates. Mandalorian and Grogu bombed. Starfleet Academy was axed. Technically both franchises flounder ahead with illusory intent. Kathleen Kennedy is finally leaving Lucasfilm, owned by Disney. Star Trek showrunner Robert Kurtzman is likely next to go. Corporations aren't evil. But inhuman corporatism is parasitic. This “mind of metal and wheels” has ruined stories for Christians. But now the Christians are improving. These stories are decaying. We really can't pretend “popular culture” is just neutral ground. Activists do want to kill these stories and replace them with others. To speak truth, we should acknowledge the justifiable backlash. And then we mourn their deaths. But not as those without hope. After all, the results could be worse. What if the hijacking worked? Even non-Christian fans saw through the trick. And they said no. The “market” did its job, perhaps thanks to God's common grace. It's nearly like the Law rightly punishing violators. It is necessary. Let them suffer the results. Maybe repent. But retreat in disgrace. And if possible, may better storytellers rise up to restore worlds. Until then, let great story-worlds like Doctor Who rest in peace. Com station Top question for listeners How do you grieve the loss of fantastical stories you once loved? Next on Fantastical Truth One of the sillier myths in our culture is that “Most men don't read.” Sometimes this is a real trend. Other times it's wishful thinking because some creators don't want to make stories that celebrate boys and men. Still, we can look to fathers and mentors to train younger men, not just to love truth, but to love fantastical stories that honor truth. Just in time for the next stage of the Lightraiders tabletop game system, pilot and author James R. Hannibal returns to the studio to help fight dragons.

California's Failed Addiction Policies Explained with Laurie Davies | The Hopeaholics PodcastIn this episode of the Hopeaholics Podcast, California Assemblywoman Laurie Davies joins the show for an important conversation about addiction, fentanyl, homelessness, mental health, and the policies shaping recovery across the state. Representing California's 74th Assembly District, Laurie has become a leading voice in the fight to improve treatment access, protect recovery programs, and address the devastating impact of the fentanyl crisis. She shares how personal experiences with addiction, mental illness, and loss have influenced her work and strengthened her commitment to helping vulnerable families. The conversation explores the unintended consequences of policies like Proposition 47, the challenges surrounding homelessness and accountability, and why many people seeking treatment still struggle to find available beds when they are finally ready for help. Laurie also discusses insurance fraud in the treatment industry, legislative efforts to protect patients, and the importance of expanding quality recovery resources throughout California. Throughout the episode, she offers a candid look at what is happening behind the scenes in government and what still needs to change to save lives. From mental health reform and public safety to recovery, faith, and personal responsibility, this conversation tackles some of the most urgent issues facing communities today.#thehopeaholics  #redemption #recovery #AlcoholAddiction #AddictionRecovery #wedorecover #SobrietyJourney #MyStory #Hope #wedorecover #treatmentcenter #natalieevamarieJoin our patreon to get access to an EXTRA EPISODE every week of ‘Off the Record', exclusive content, a thriving recovery community, and opportunities to be featured on the podcast. https://patreon.com/TheHopeaholics Go to www.Wolfpak.com today and support our sponsors.

Zack Davies was a standout contestant on the popular reality TV show The Traitors (UK, season 2). The Traitors is what is called a social deduction game, similar to the games Werewolf and Mafia. In this talk we examine psychological factors and behavioral clues that can shape players' perceptions and decisions in this game. We discuss how friendships and rivalries can negatively affect people's judgment. We talk about behavioral clues; for example, why it is that unusually expressive, exuberant behavior is a clue that someone is a Faithful (i.e., a “good guy”). We talk about social deduction game strategy, deception, group psychology, unconscious bias, and how to make tough judgments when there's little actual information or evidence to go on. Zack shares behind-the-scenes stories from the show, including the intense stress of life in the castle, and a panic attack that never made it on TV. Whether you're a fan of The Traitors or just interested in human behavior, you'll probably find a lot to like in this episode. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The panel are back on Last Word On Spurs in another busy week around Hotspur Way as Tottenham have signed defender Marcos Senesi on a free transfer following his departure from Bournemouth. The 29-year-old will officially complete his move to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on 1 July, subject to international clearance. Senesi, capped three times by Argentina, decided to leave Bournemouth earlier in the season after rejecting three contract offers from the club. The centre-back - who has also just been included in Argentina's squad for this summer. We also reacted to the news that Tottenham have confirmed that Ben Davies has signed a new contract with the club, while Yves Bissouma is leaving as a free agent. Davies joined Spurs from Swansea City in 2014 and will now extend his stay in north London into a 13th season, having made 363 appearances for the club to date. Only 20 players have played more matches for Tottenham in their history, including Davies' former team-mates Heung-min Son, Hugo Lloris, Harry Kane and Eric Dier. Spurs did not confirm the length of Davies' new deal, but widespread reports on Wednesday said it was a one-year extension. As one player commits there future, one departs as but there was no new deal for Bissouma, who played the full 90 minutes in the Bilbao showpiece. Bissouma made 111 appearances for Spurs after arriving from Brighton in 2022, scoring two goals – both of which came in the Premier League in 2024-25. We reflect on the potential Bissouma had and why that quite never materialised during his time at Spurs. We close on Spurs' pursuit of both Jan Paul Van Hecke and Savinho and whether we feel both deals will eventually be completed.

As Halle Stanford drove through Topanga Canyon in Southern California, with Dolly Parton blasting from the car speakers, she was struck by a moment of inspiration. “I had this vision of a little hedgehog on the side of the road in her little pink hiking boots, with her guitar in her bag, out to find the wows of the world,” says Stanford, an independent television producer. A few days later, she came across research from UC Berkeley's Greater Good Science Center showing that awe — the emotion we experience when we encounter vast mysteries that we don't understand — inspires us to care for the planet and one another. “And I was like, ‘Bingo, that's it.'”That connection became the basis for Wowsabout, a new Jim Henson Company puppet preschool special on PBS designed to bring awe to young audiences. Created by Stanford and puppeteer Dorien Davies, the 30-minute special maps the journeys of Roxy, a free-spirited hedgehog, and Ronald, a fastidious city pig, as they explore Sequoia National Park. Together, they experience moments of awe, like when standing beneath towering Sequoias and watching migrating California tortoiseshell butterflies. And they meet others along the way, including Pekan, a puppet representing the endangered southern Sierra Nevada fisher who guides them to see historic pictographs carved into the park's rock formations. Awe isn't a luxury emotion, but an evolutionary necessity, says Dacher Keltner, a Berkeley psychology professor and the founding director of the Greater Good Science Center. “It makes kids kinder, it makes kids more creative. … Awe really helps kids stay curious, and be in love with big ideas.”Keltner has studied the science of awe for more than a decade, and in 2023 published the book Awe: The New Science of Everyday Wonder and How It Can Transform Your Life. He served as a science consultant and co-executive producer for Wowsabout. In this episode of Berkeley Talks, Stanford and Davies join Keltner and others from the Greater Good Science Center — education director Vicki Zakrzewski and parenting program director Maryam Abdullah — in a talk moderated by Sarah Bracken, education outreach and school partnerships manager at the center. The group discusses the logistical hurdles of translating wonder into film and why cultivating everyday curiosity has become an essential antidote to modern social disconnection. The conversation took place on May 13 and was hosted by the Greater Good Science Center. Watch a video of the panel discussion.

In 1977, a calm, otherworldly voice broke into the British evening news across five transmitters at once, identified itself as an alien envoy, and warned humanity to abandon nuclear weapons before time ran out.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: November, 2021Weird Darkness moves across five unsettling true tales — alleged alien voices breaking into broadcast signals, the unexplained death of a Hollywood pioneer, a possessed home bar in Mexico, the superstitious roots of dressing infant boys in blue, and the bloody thirty seconds behind the O.K. Corral.It opens with the alleged extraterrestrial transmissions that have arrived through ordinary radios and televisions rather than from deep space. On November 26, 1977, at 5:12 PM, a deep, water-logged voice overrode five Southern Television transmitters across southern England, speaking over news reader Ivor Mills for five and a half minutes; the voice named itself Gramaha — also transcribed as Vrillon, Gillon, or Glon — a representative of the Ashtar Galactic Command, and warned humanity to abandon nuclear energy before the dawning New Age of Aquarius. The Independent Broadcasting Authority never logged the interruption and could not explain how its instant switch-off monitoring was bypassed. Years earlier, in July 1961, an eighteen-year-old ham radio operator named Robert P. Renaud had picked up a soft feminine voice high in the 25-meter band claiming to broadcast from a planet called Korendor, eventually trading images on his television's vidicon tube with a contact named Lin-Erri, an episode investigator Allen Griese found oddly free of showmanship or profit. A decade after Renaud, in January 1971, British UFO researcher Rex Dutta took a call on a radio talk show from a voice that registered no echo, no feedback, and no movement on the station's VU meter.From there the episode crosses to November 1924 and the death of Thomas Ince, the producer who founded Culver Studios in 1918 and earned the title Father of the Western. Ince died days after celebrating his birthday aboard William Randolph Hearst's yacht, the Oneida, on a weekend cruise to San Diego that also carried actress Marion Davies and, by rumor, Charlie Chaplin. The official account blamed acute indigestion, but Hollywood whispered that Hearst, jealous over Davies, fired a diamond-studded revolver in the dark and put a bullet meant for Chaplin into Ince's head instead. The body was cremated, no inquest was held, San Diego district attorney Chester Kemply closed the case after a single session, and gossip columnist Louella Parsons soon received a lifetime Hearst contract. Decades later, workers at Culver Studios reported a man in a bowler-type hat watching them from the catwalks during 1988 renovations, frowning, declaring that he disliked what they were doing to his studio, and walking through a wall.Next comes a listener's account of a house in Mexico, bought by the family about twenty years earlier, where a heavy tavern-style wooden bar in the living room became the source of growling, clinking glassware, and slamming cabinet doors that sounded like two animals fighting inside an empty cupboard. The housekeeper, Letty, threw the cabinet open to find nothing disturbed. Weeks later the mother and Letty dug up jars in the front yard containing rag dolls pierced with pins, buried directly on the other side of the wall behind the bar. A framed mirror reading BAR shattered at three in the morning during a housewarming party, a barred window slid open on its own after being latched, and a photograph of a single bar stool showed a clear horned, devil-like face the family begged to have deleted. Letty, it turned out, was a bruja — a witch.Color superstition drives the next story: infant boys, dressed in blue today, were once dressed in pink, and a June 1918 article in the trade journal Earnshaw's Infants' Department called pink the stronger, more decided color suited to boys and blue the daintier choice for girls. The return to blue revived a far older practice, since the ancient Egyptians and Greeks regarded blue as divine and used it to repel evil spirits, dressing pharaohs in it and, as author Douglas B. Smith recounts, painting nurseries to keep satanic spirits from slipping into young children's bodies. Boys received that protection because they were valued above girls, who were thought too unimportant for evil spirits to trouble. The same fear survives in the Evil Eye and in protective amulets like the Hamsa and the Turkish Nazar, hung in homes and cars and worked into jewelry across the Balkans and the Middle East.The episode closes behind the O.K. Corral on October 26, 1881, where thirty rounds were fired in roughly thirty seconds. Tombstone, Arizona had been founded in 1877 by prospector Ed Schieffelin, who struck a silver vein worth more than thirty-seven million dollars after being warned that all he would find out there was his own tombstone. Wyatt, Virgil, Morgan, and James Earp, joined by the gun-slinging ex-dentist Doc Holliday, clashed with the Cochise County Cowboys, a feud that hardened after Curly Bill Brocius accidentally killed city marshal Fred White in 1880 and Virgil took the post. The gunfight left Frank McLaury, Tom McLaury, and nineteen-year-old Billy Clanton dead while Ike Clanton and Billy Claiborne fled, and Judge Wells Spicer afterward released the Earps as having committed an unwise but not criminal act. The reckoning continued past the verdict, with Virgil shotgunned in the back, Morgan assassinated over a game of pool in a plot tied to Ike Clanton, and Wyatt Earp drifting west until his death in California in 1929 at the age of eighty.

Given Seb's background in German Football, he provides incredible insight into Sebastian Kehl who has been linked with the role and whether he is a viable candidate, with talk that Spurs have now changed their stance and are looking for a 'World-Class operator' we discuss whether someone of Dougie Freedman's ilk could be persuaded to take the job. Independent Multi-Award Winning Tottenham Hotspur Fan Channel (Podcast) providing instant post-match analysis and previews to every single Spurs match along with a range of former players, manager, special guests. We also dive deep into Luka Vušković's last 12 months on loan at Hamburger SV, a player that Seb has watched up close and personal, providing his view as to whether in his opinion if the Croatian player is ready for Premier League football with Spurs. It's been a crazy last 24/48 hours around the Tottenham Hotspur rumour mill we quiz Seb on what he makes of the goalkeeping department as Vicario looks set to leave the Club to join a Serie A side in Italy, has Antonín Kinsky done enough to earn a chance to become the Club's number one. We get Seb's take on Ben Davies set to sign a new contract extension. Davies has made more than 350 appearances for Spurs and has represented the football club for over 12 years. Pedro Porro looks likely to remain after Dumfries has received the 'Here We Go' to join Real Madrid. If Cristian Romero leaves and Tottenham Hotspur decide they need an established right-sided centre-back to replace him, Jan Paul van Hecke has been mooted, we ask Seb whether he could be up to the potential task. Roberto De Zerbi is understood to have held further talks with Joao Palhinha and ‘reiterated his desire' to keep him. Palhinha also has apparently given Spurs first refusal on his signature permanently, can Spurs do better or does the player just make logical sense for Spurs to sign. It's been a week where already the Club have been linked with reviving a move for Morgan Gibbs-White, we discuss with Seb what that could look like and whether Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis would dare think about letting him come to Spurs this summer. Tottenham Hotspur are understood to be looking at winger options with Savinho a top priority and a move getting closer, we debate whether long-term the signing makes sense and why the Club can't afford to turn up their noses to the likes of Harry Wiilson.
