Fan2Fan Podcast - A Conversation Between Fans About Movies, Comics, TV, Video Games, Toys, Cartoons, And All Things Pop Cultu

We're talking Gyro and the Argonauts on this episode of the Fan2Fan Podcast! Joshua Pruett (Phineas and Ferb, MST3K, The Last Comics on Earth) joins Bernie and Pete to talk about his latest book! Josh is the writer of Gyro and the Argonauts - "the totally (mostly) true story of the first “Greek Geek,” a super fanboy vineyard grape-squisher named Gyro (like the sandwich), who learns there's so much more to the maligned monsters of mythology (such as the CYCLOPS, the MINOTAUR, and even MEDUSA herself), and so much less to his favorite heroes (including Perseus, Heracles, and Pegasus) than he ever dreamed." “With big laughs, big heart, and big monsters, Gyro and the Argonauts is timeless fun for everyone!” – Max Brallier, sandwich expert and author of the #1 New York Times bestselling series The Last Kids on Earth Josh shares the book's origin, his writing process, his journey as a creative and more. He also discusses how he was able to take his love of dad jokes, Ray Harryhausen, Douglas Adams and insert them into the book to tell a personal story that's fun for the fans of all ages.

What does it means to lead without ego, serve without exploitation, and rule with spiritual detachment? In this episode of Wisdom of the Sages, Raghunath and Kaustubha dive into the extraordinary standard set by Lord Ramachandra, whose rule began not with conquest but with renunciation.  The conversation also takes a deeper look at the controversial episode of Sita's banishment though the eyes of the sages (as opposed  to the lens of ones's own painful divorce). When seen with spiritual clarity, the pain of separation transforms into an expression of divine love, where Ram and Sita's apparent distance reveals the depth of their unbreakable connection. Key Highlights: * How Ram's leadership flips modern politics on its head * Sages with melted hearts receive the supreme gift - inner illumination * Sita's banishment—and why comparing it to your messy breakup doesn't quite work * What Jay Shetty, and Douglas Adams and Socrates have to do with karma yoga * Abraham Lincolns touching letter about losing a loved one * Bhakti as the “Platinum Package” of yoga paths (yes, karma and jñāna are included) * How Sita Sings the Blues delights, but disappoints

Have you ever pondered the fact that the universe is expanding? And not only that, it's expanding at an increasing speed - meaning everything around us is getting further and further away? If that isolating thought makes you feel slightly panicked, don't worry: this programme also contains wine!Brian Schmidt is a Distinguished Professor of Astrophysics at the Australian National University, known for his work on supernovae: massive explosions that take place when stars come to the ends of their lives. They are among the most energetic events in the universe and incredibly difficult to find; but that's what his High-Z Supernova Search Team did, identifying enough of these rare and distant explosions to measure just how fast they were moving away from us.This led them to the realisation that, contrary to long-held belief in cosmology, the expansion of the universe was speeding up; a discovery which earned Brian a share of the 2011 Nobel Prize for Physics. As if that wasn't enough, he's gone on to discover one of the earliest stars in the universe; run a university; and become a winemaker, at his very own vineyard just outside Canberra.In a conversation spanning the genius phraseology of writer Douglas Adams, the importance of pisco sours, and the similarities between astronomy and viticulture, Brian tells Professor Jim Al-Khalili how his supernovae breakthrough paved the way for a revolution in astronomy - and where the field needs to go next...Presented by Jim Al-Khalili Produced for BBC Studios by Lucy Taylor

The new Doctor Who season has launched with Ncuti Gatwa's Doctor joined by new companion Belinda Chandra, played by Varada Sethu. Both of us agree that Sethu's debut as Belinda was great! We look forward to spending the next seven episodes with her and the Doctor. Ben reflects upon what movies "The Robot Revolution" reminded him of, and David wonders if there wasn't a little bit of a Douglas Adams inspiration to the story. Plus, who was more cringy, AL or the Doctor? Opening music is from "Belinda" by the Eurythmics in 1981. Closing music is "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots, Pt. 1" by the Flaming Lips in 2002. We recorded this podcast on 15 April 2025.

Lyrics: LIKE A HURRICANE –Robert Levinsky and Yaakov Asher Sinclair ©1978/2018 A little lower than the Angels You placed Man, With all the power to be a partner in Your great plan. A heart that's filled with lust and anger betrays the soul, We can reach a little higher, our wings unfold. Like a Hurricane – reaching for the sky where angels fear to fly, Like a Hurricane - - they fall away - our feet of clay Like a Hurricane – Don't look down! We left the ground. Borne on wings of prayer. The world is filled with much confusion near the eye of the storm, So much bloff - so much illusion – the heart is torn. Times a'changing ever faster – the End is near, When all the world will seek the Master. Rejoice in fear! Like a Hurricane – reaching for the sky where angels fear to fly, Like a Hurricane - they fall away - our feet of clay Like a Hurricane – Don't look down! We left the ground. Borne on wings of prayer. Were I to take the wings of dawn to the distant West, Also there Your Hand would guide me, Your Right Hand to my quest. Like a Hurricane – reaching for the sky where angels fear to fly, Like a Hurricane - - they fall away - our feet of clay Like a Hurricane – Don't look down! We left the ground, Fighting for King and Country. Like a Hurricane In 1972, Rabbi Yaakov Asher Sinclair opened SARM Studios the first 24-track recording studio in Europe where Queen mixed “Bohemian Rhapsody”. His music publishing company, Druidcrest Music published the music for The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1973) and as a record producer, he co-produced the quadruple-platinum debut album by American band “Foreigner” (1976). American Top ten singles from this album included, “Feels Like The First Time”, “Cold as Ice” and “Long, Long Way from Home”. Other production work included “The Enid – In the Region of the Summer Stars”, “The Curves”, and “Nutz” as well as singles based on The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy with Douglas Adams and Richard O'Brien. Other artists who used SARM included: ABC, Alison Moyet, Art of Noise, Brian May, The Buggles, The Clash, Dina Carroll, Dollar, Flintlock, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Grace Jones, It Bites, Malcolm McLaren, Nik Kershaw, Propaganda, Rush, Rik Mayall, Stephen Duffy, and Yes. In 1987, he settled in Jerusalem to immerse himself in the study of Torah. His two Torah books The Color of Heaven, on the weekly Torah portion, and Seasons of the Moon met with great critical acclaim. Seasons of the Moon, a unique fine-art black-and-white photography book combining poetry and Torah essays, has now sold out and is much sought as a collector's item fetching up to $250 for a mint copy. He is much in demand as an inspirational speaker both in Israel, Great Britain and the United States. He was Plenary Keynote Speaker at the Agudas Yisrael Convention, and Keynote Speaker at Project Inspire in 2018. Rabbi Sinclair lectures in Talmud and Jewish Philosophy at Ohr Somayach/Tannenbaum College of Judaic studies in Jerusalem and is a senior staff writer of the Torah internet publications Ohrnet and Torah Weekly. His articles have been published in The Jewish Observer, American Jewish Spirit, AJOP Newsletter, Zurich's Die Jüdische Zeitung, South African Jewish Report and many others. Rabbi Sinclair was born in London, and lives with his family in Jerusalem. He was educated at St. Anthony's Preparatory School in Hampstead, Clifton College, and Bristol University.

In 1932, Maxwell House put out a Pesach Haggadah as a marketing promotion. It's been continuously in print since then. They've printed over 50 million copies. Pesach is the most observed of all the Jewish festivals. Even whenJews become secular, and all the other festivals fall by the way, Pesach still hangs in there. Why is that? What is it about Pesach that is so deeply rooted in the Jewish psyche? Chag Kasher v'Sameach!

ANTUMBRA Welcome to the ÜberCube! It's the perfect society where everyone enjoys fun social gatherings every night; where everyone enjoys tasty, expertly balanced nutritious food; where everybody has a job and a home of their own, complete with the latest model EMILY personal helper to manage all those parts of life you don't need to; where you can buy the latest must-have items and have them delivered immediately to your personal Cube the very second they are announced by the NewsFeeds! Angela had the perfect life in the perfect society where all of her needs were met instantly, and where everyone was perfectly happy. Only Angela wasn't. Angela felt like a stranger in the ÜberCube where she had lived all her life, she just couldn't understand why everyone else was so blissfully content while she alone dreaded the mandatory social occasions and the saccharine pleasantries they entailed.  That was until her only friend disappeared suspiciously overnight and she was catapulted into a journey of discovery leading her to the inevitable horror of her existence and the ultimate question: can she ever become truly free? TOPICS OF CONVERSATION The Dystopian World – Controlled society in Uber Cubes, AI surveillance (EMILYs), and the illusion of comfort. Character Arcs – Angela's reluctant rebellion and Gabe's contrasting role and values. Themes of Control – Media manipulation, emotion suppression, and AI influence. Symbolic Elements – The mysterious Metacube and Kiddie Cubes as tools of indoctrination. Writing Process & Impact – The book as a cautionary tale, character-driven changes, and reader reactions. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Paul L Merryfellow is a British-Irish author and software engineer based in London, UK. His love of science fiction stems from authors such as Ray Bradbury, Philip K Dick, and Douglas Adams, and he further enjoys a variety of authors in other genres, such as P G Wodehouse, Franz Kafka, and James Herbert. Paul is a keen (though lousy) archer, and he spends much time examining the nuances of communication and societal norms through language and culture.

These are the things that Hashem commanded to do them:” (35:1) Here's a parable drawn from motorcycles to illustrate the concept of ‘bidieved' - an untranslatable word usually translated as ‘after the fact.' A mitzva has an ideal – lechatchila – way to be performed, but there is also a degree of latitude that, while not ideal, will still cause the mitzva to have its effect. That's 'bidieved.'

Well dear listener, it had to happen. After appearing with us separately on various podcasts, a long-time and genuine friend of the podcast - Too Hot for TV's Dylan Rees - joins BOTH of us to discuss the BBC television adaptation of Douglas Adams' THE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY on tonight's episode of ALTERNATE GALAXIES. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy aired between 5 January and 9 February 1981 on BBC2 in the United Kingdom. The adaptation follows the original radio series in 1978 and 1980, the first novel and double LP, in 1979, and the stage shows, in 1979 and 1980, making it the fifth iteration of the guide. The series stars Simon Jones as Arthur Dent, David Dixon as Ford Prefect, Mark Wing-Davey as Zaphod Beeblebrox, Sandra Dickinson as Trillian and Stephen Moore as the voice of Marvin. The voice of the guide is by Peter Jones.  Peter Jones, Simon Jones, Moore and Wing-Davey reprised their roles from the original radio series in 1978/80, as did supporting actors Richard Vernon and David Tate. In addition, the series features a number of notable cameo roles, including Adams himself on several occasions.

What's the connection between Shema and Teruma? Our Sages tell us that one fiftieth is the average tithe that a farmer should give to the kohen from his grain and produce. The Vilna Gaon explains that the word 'terumah' is an allusion to 'trei m'meah', meaning two out of one hundred, which is one fiftieth. But if the word ‘teruma' is hinting at a fiftieth, why use a word that hints to two parts in a hundred?
