This week we keep things intentionally low-effort and high-chaos by drafting the Billboard year-end #1 songs from 1980 through 1999. We each build a ten-song playlist from a shared pool, knowing that once a song is picked, it's gone forever. Along the way we uncover timeless masterpieces, generational blind spots, slow-dance trauma, and more than a few baffling chart decisions. By the end, it's less about “best songs of all time” and more about what pop culture we survived — and what it says about the decades that made us.Cold Open & Life UpdatesEden survives Iowa weather whiplash, including snowmelt, wind advisories, and dogs who refuse to come inside.We check in on end-of-year fatigue, weddings on the horizon, and the general desire to just get to January.What We've Been Checking OutEden scores a surprise manga haul via Reddit, including:Kase-san and… — a quiet, funny, wholesome romance that desperately wants its characters to communicate.Chainsmoker Cat — gross, chaotic, and deeply committed to depicting the world's worst anthropomorphic cat girl.Continued time in Where Winds Meet, including discovering that joining the “hot evil people” sect requires in-game marriage… followed by divorce.Peter continues slowly working through The Three-Body Problem and Gödel, Escher, Bach.A brief dive into habit-building via the new Atomic Habits workbook.Music check-in includes Archspire's new single “Carrion Ladder” and the eternal joy of Apple Music Replay actually getting things right.Gaming includes Ball Pit, Megabonk, and the looming temptation of finally committing to Baldur's Gate 3.The Main Event: Billboard #1 Draft (1980–1999)We draft songs snake-style, locking each other out as we go.Early rounds are stacked with undeniable classics:Whitney Houston's “I Will Always Love You”Prince's “When Doves Cry”Blondie's “Call Me”Cher's “Believe”George Michael emerges as an '80s powerhouse with multiple entries.The generational divide shows up fast:Peter leans heavily '80s.Eden lives firmly in the '90s (for better and worse).We acknowledge slow-dance staples that were emotionally formative whether we liked them or not.The middle rounds reveal just how strange pop history can be when viewed year-by-year.By the later picks, we're openly throwing ourselves on grenades:The Macarena is drafted out of mercy.Multiple songs are chosen purely because something has to be.We question how certain cultural touchstones (My Heart Will Go On, Aaliyah, Bone Thugs) somehow missed the top spot in their years.Big TakeawaysBillboard #1 does not mean “best song.”The '80s age better than the '90s in pop memory (and fashion).Nostalgia is selective, and pop charts are cruel.Drafting music is a great way to discover what you genuinely love — and what you merely survived.

On this December 12 episode, we turn to the latest JOLTS report and, more importantly, the decisions and tone emerging from the Federal Open Market Committee. Job openings surprised modestly on the upside, yet were largely unchanged from the previous month. The more telling signal came from the quits rate, a gauge the Federal Reserve treats as a window into the confidence of American workers. Quits have fallen to their lowest level since August 2020, when the economy was still in the teeth of the Covid 19 pandemic. The message is clear enough. Workers are reluctant to walk away from their positions because they doubt that opportunities exist elsewhere.Stagflation has made it increasingly difficult for the central bank to articulate a coherent strategy. Doves on the committee argue that a weakening labor market should outweigh inflationary concerns, particularly if the recent rise in prices proves transitory. Yet, as we note in this episode, monetary policy offers no free lunch. A steepening yield curve may in fact be the harbinger of near term economic strain and an accelerator of recession risk.

In this episode of the XS Noize Podcast, Mark Millar is joined by acclaimed filmmaker Oliver Murray — the British writer–director redefining modern music documentary through his bold, cinematic approach. Following his 2023 short film Now and Then, The Last Beatles Song — made in collaboration with Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Sean Lennon and the Harrison Estate to celebrate the release of the Beatles' final single — Oliver continues his creative relationship with the band by directing the brand-new, final chapter of the legendary Anthology series. First released three decades ago, The Beatles Anthology reinvented the music documentary format. Instead of outside narration and talking heads, it featured John, Paul, George, and Ringo telling their story in their own words — a groundbreaking approach that shaped the way music history is now documented. Under Murray's direction, the series now receives its long-awaited conclusion: Episode Nine, a completely new instalment filled with unseen footage, including intimate behind-the-scenes moments of Paul, George and Ringo reuniting between 1994 and 1995 at Abbey Road. Oliver discusses how he approached taking on one of the most important music stories ever told, the responsibility of handling unreleased Beatles material, and the emotional legacy carried by Episode Nine — both for the surviving members and for generations of fans discovering the band anew. "Watching Paul, Ringo and George together in the '90s, the chemistry is exactly the same as when they were young — it's hard-wired. It feels almost scripted, but it isn't. That bond is still alive." — Oliver Murray A rising force in film and music storytelling, Murray has previously collaborated with some of the biggest names in music, including The Rolling Stones (My Life As a Rolling Stone), The Beatles (Now & Then), and Quincy Jones (They All Came Out to Montreux). His work spans genres — from jazz in Ronnie's: The Story of Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club to classical music with Lang Lang — and has been featured on Disney, Netflix, and the BBC. Listen as Oliver Murray takes us inside the making of Episode Nine — revealing unseen moments of Beatles history and the evolution of his craft — exclusively on the XS Noize Podcast. This is the definitive deep dive into the Beatles' final chapter. "Episode nine concludes the anthology, but it's not an end. The Beatles' legacy isn't a full stop — it's something that's in the groundwater now, something we all inherit." — Oliver Murray About The XS Noize Podcast With over 250 episodes, the XS Noize Podcast has become a trusted home for music's legends, innovators, and trailblazers — a place where real conversations meet real stories.

In this episode of the XS Noize Podcast, Mark Millar is joined by legendary producer Steve Lillywhite — the Grammy-winning studio mastermind behind iconic records by U2, The Rolling Stones, Talking Heads, The Smiths, The Killers, Peter Gabriel, and many more. Steve talks about the release of a brand-new 4-track EP featuring a completely unreleased live version of "Fairytale of New York" — recorded at Glasgow Barrowlands in December 1987. This historic performance captures the first time The Pogues ever played the song live, and the first time Kirsty MacColl performed it onstage with the band. The EP is released on 12 December. Recorded by Steve himself — producer of the original version and then-husband of Kirsty MacColl — the Barrowlands tape offers a rare window into the early live life of what has become the UK's favourite Christmas song for over a decade. Originally charting at No. 2 in 1987, "Fairytale of New York" has returned to the UK Top 20 every year since 2005. Steve reflects on the making of the classic track, the energy of that unforgettable night in Glasgow, and key moments from across his remarkable career.

Thursday, 27 November 2025 But the boat was now [b]in the middle of the sea, tossed by the waves, for the wind was contrary. Matthew 14:24 “And the boat: already it was amidst the sea being tormented by the waves, for the wind, it was contrary” (CG). In the previous verse, Jesus dismissed the multitudes and then went up on the mountain alone and prayed alone. Matthew next says, “And the boat, already it was amidst the sea.” In John's gospel, he records that the boat was about 25 or 30 stadia. This equates to 3 or 4 miles. The width of the sea varies, but it is about 7 miles across. Therefore, they were literally in the sea's midst. While they were in this spot, it says they were “being tormented by the waves.” This wasn't the case as they left. Rather, John also records, “The sea arose because a great wind was blowing.” This is a phenomenon seen in the Sea of Galilee. The winds off the Mediterranean coast blow inland. As they reach the mountains, there is a pass, the Arbel pass (aka the Valley of the Doves or Wadi Hamam), where they are compressed. This pass is a particular geographical feature located to the west of the Sea of Galilee, bordered by Mount Arbel to the south and Mount Nitai to the north. This east-west-oriented valley funnels air from the Mediterranean Sea towards the lower-lying Sea of Galilee. The cold wind rushes at an increased speed and blows toward the sea. This meets the warmer air rising from the lake. This then causes the waves to suddenly jump in size. The storms can come on with almost no notice and change the face of the sea in mere minutes. This is what occurred as these men took their boat across. As it says, “for the wind, it was contrary.” With such a sea having arisen, there would be very little the men could do. The chaotic waves and winds would leave even the hardiest of men terrified. Life application: It is with all certainty that Jesus knew the men would face this contrary wind as they crossed. The narrative is purposeful in this regard. But such things serve a greater purpose in helping us to understand who Jesus is and what His intent for His people is. Therefore, the men were allowed to undergo this arduous trial to learn and to pass the event on in their writings. When we encounter life's storms, we should take time to evaluate the circumstances and attempt to discover what God would have us learn from them. This doesn't mean only literal storms, such as tornados and hurricanes, although those too can affect us. Rather, we may face storms of trials such as financial woes, interpersonal conflicts, etc. We may also be the target of a robbery or some other situation that causes us to question our lives. When such times arise, taking time to reevaluate our lives and priorities can change our direction. This is what wise people will do. They will consciously evaluate the circumstances and see how their lives might be better directed toward the Lord. From what may seem a terrible ordeal, good things can arise. As long as we look for the guiding hand of the Lord through them, we will normally find that what occurred had a purpose we never expected. The apostles certainly had time in their lives to evaluate that terrifying night on the Sea of Galilee. Some of them wrote about it. One of them ultimately seems to have not learned a thing from it. What a vast difference between the outcomes of their lives as they took in the ministry of Jesus and evaluated their lives and the events that happened in relation to it. Glorious God, even though we may not enjoy the troubles and trials that arise in our lives, we may find that good came out of them in ways we never expected. Help us to have a positive attitude that seeks out the knowledge that Your gracious hand rested upon us, even as we endured such times. Amen.
In this episode of the XS Noize Podcast, Mark Millar is joined by guitarist and songwriter Cathal Mac Gabhann from Cork alt-rock and shoegaze outfit The Altered Hours — one of Ireland's most vital underground bands. The Altered Hours released their self-titled third album on November 7th via Pizza Pizza Records. Recorded to tape by analogue producer Julie McLarnon (New Order, Lankum, Happy Mondays), the album captures the band at their most raw, warm, and emotionally direct. Formed in 2010, the band have carved out a unique place in the European alternative scene through two albums, a run of EPs, and a reputation for immersive, fuzz-drenched live shows. Their independent spirit has earned them admiration from peers and fans alike. Cathal discusses the band's evolution, the creative shift behind the new record, and how recording to tape has brought out their most dynamic sound yet. He also reflects on touring with Fontaines D.C., playing venues like The Bataclan and Alexandra Palace, and stepping in as their live guitarist across Japan and Australia. Now signed to Pizza Pizza Records, The Altered Hours step confidently into a new phase — honouring their psych-rock roots while pushing into bolder, more atmospheric territory. Listen to Cathal Mac Gabhann discuss the making of the new album, the journey behind it, and where The Altered Hours go next — exclusively on the XS Noize Podcast.

In this episode of the XS Noize Podcast, Mark Millar is joined by Pearce Macca — frontman of Birmingham indie-rockers The Clause, a band whose rise has become one of the most inspiring new stories in modern British guitar music. The Clause have just unveiled their long-awaited debut album Victim of a Casual Thing — a record built on pure graft, unshakable friendship, and more than a decade of refusing to give in. What started in a cramped school practice room in 2011 — with Pearce Macca, Jonny Fyffe and Niall Fennell learning their favourite songs before Liam Deakin completed the line-up — has grown into a band with a fiercely loyal fanbase and a reputation for electrifying live shows. Pearce looks back on the full journey: the teenage beginnings, the countless setbacks, the near-misses, the belief that kept them going, and the breakthrough moments that finally pushed the band to album one. He reflects on the stories they've lived together — the wins, the losses, the friendships, the heartbreaks — and how those experiences became the emotional engine of Victim of a Casual Thing. We also dive into The Clause's rise on the live circuit, from sweatbox early gigs to lighting up festival crowds at Radio 1's Big Weekend, Isle of Wight, Truck, Tramlines, and Rock 'n' Roll Circus. And Pierce takes us inside the making of the album itself — the sound that defines The Clause, the writing and recording process, and why this record feels less like a finish line and more like the start of the real story. "We've done this the long way — but it's the right way. It's made us the band we are." – Pearce Macca Listen to Pearce Macca talk about the decade-long journey behind The Clause, the heart and honesty driving Victim of a Casual Thing, and the breakthrough moment they've been chasing — exclusively on the XS Noize Podcast.

In this episode of the XS Noize Podcast, Mark Millar is joined by Roland Gift — the iconic voice of Fine Young Cannibals and one of the most instantly recognisable singers in British music. With era-defining hits like "She Drives Me Crazy," "Good Thing," "Johnny Come Home," and their electrifying version of "Ever Fallen In Love," Fine Young Cannibals became global chart-toppers — selling over five million records and earning two BRIT Awards, an Ivor Novello, and three Grammy nominations. Their sharp, soulful sound continues to influence generations. Roland returns with two major releases — FYC40, a definitive 40-year anthology, and his brand-new festive single "Everybody Knows It's Christmas", showcasing that unmistakable voice in glorious form. Roland looks back on the band's beginnings, the explosive success of The Raw & The Cooked, and how his Otis Redding-inspired delivery fused with David Steele and Andy Cox's songwriting to create something completely unique. He also reflects on Fine Young Cannibals' continued cultural impact — including "She Drives Me Crazy" becoming the musical centrepiece of the 2025 Chanel campaign starring Dua Lipa and Jennie from BLACKPINK. We also talk about Roland's return to performing — touring with Jools Holland, shining at the 2022 Hootenanny, and his triumphant 40 Years of Songs tour, which launched with a sold-out London Palladium show. And we dive into "Everybody Knows It's Christmas" — a glam-rock, wall-of-sound celebration co-written with Ben Barson, full of warmth, nostalgia, and classic Roland soul. "Wherever you are I hope this song brings a bit of warmth, a smile, and maybe a bit of that Christmas magic your way." – Roland Gift Listen to Roland Gift discuss 40 years of Fine Young Cannibals, the making of FYC40, and the joy behind his new Christmas single — exclusively on the XS Noize Podcast.

In this episode of the XS Noize Podcast, Mark Millar is joined by ALKY — the Dublin-born indie-rock artist and former Emmy-nominated audio engineer whose raw, heartfelt songwriting is making serious waves across Ireland's indie scene. From his breakout singles "Dirty Tricks," "All Because of Love," "Perfect," and "How Do You?" to sold-out shows at Whelan's and The Workman's Club, ALKY has built a growing reputation for pairing widescreen anthems with brutally honest storytelling. Now, he's stepping into a defining new chapter with the release of his debut album Rinse & Repeat, a powerful exploration of addiction, love, and the endless cycles we fight to escape. In our conversation, ALKY talks about the messy truth behind his lyrics, his transition from studio engineer to full-time artist, and how facing his own patterns of self-destruction became the creative spark for the record. He opens up about sobriety, resilience, and why imperfection — both in music and in life — can be the most honest sound of all. We also dive into the making of standout tracks "All Because of Love," "How Do You?," "Perfect," and "Dirty Tricks," his experience coming up through Dublin's live circuit, and how Rinse & Repeat became a cathartic statement on falling, getting back up, and finding meaning in repetition. "I noticed I kept falling into the same destructive behaviours — the same chaos regarding alcohol and my relationship choices. Rinse & Repeat is a reflection of that cycle and putting it into songs." – ALKY Listen to ALKY discuss the making of his debut album Rinse & Repeat, addiction, love, and finding strength in repetition on the XS Noize Podcast.

In this episode of the XS Noize Podcast, Mark Millar is joined by Moya Brennan — the unmistakable voice of Clannad, often hailed as the First Lady of Celtic Music. This year marks the 40th anniversary of Clannad's landmark 1985 album Macalla — a record that bridged ancient Celtic roots with modern pop and ambient textures. Produced by Steve Nye (Japan, David Sylvian) and recorded across Dublin, Surrey, and Switzerland, Macalla captured the moment when Irish music stepped confidently onto the global stage — featuring the iconic duet with Bono, In a Lifetime. In this conversation, Moya looks back on the creative and spiritual journey behind Macalla — from the evolving sound that carried Clannad from Donegal's Irish-speaking Gaeltacht region to worldwide acclaim, to the energy of recording during a golden era for Irish music, with U2 at Live Aid and the world discovering Celtic voices anew. She recalls the "lightning in a bottle" studio sessions with Bono and explores the deeper sense of faith, family, and identity that continues to echo through her work. "If Macalla helps someone feel something, even for a moment — that's what it was meant for." – Moya Brennan Moya also reflects on Clannad's role in reshaping how Irish music was seen around the world, and the blending of Gaelic language and modern production that became their signature sound. She discusses how her collaborations have taken her voice from folk stages to global dance floors — most famously with Chicane on Saltwater — and the enduring power of songs such as Closer to Your Heart, Buachaill Ón Éirne, Caisleán Óir, Almost Seems (Too Late to Turn), The Wild Cry, and Journey's End to connect generations. Listen to the full episode and join Moya Brennan as she reflects on 40 years of Macalla — the memories, the music, and the lasting echo of Clannad's legacy.

In this episode, #254 of the XS Noize Podcast, Mark Millar is joined by a true architect of punk — Glen Matlock, the original bassist and founding spark of The Sex Pistols. Glen co-wrote ten of the twelve songs on the band's legendary 1977 album Never Mind the Bollocks, giving its chaos a melodic backbone that helped define an era. Now, he's reclaiming his story in the new documentary I Was a Teenage Sex Pistol — a compelling, filmic portrait of the Pistols' rise told through wry, honest, and often hilarious first-hand accounts. In this conversation, Glen looks back on the bleak yet electric energy of 1970s Britain, the provocations of Malcolm McLaren and Vivienne Westwood's SEX shop, Steve Jones' infamous thieving, and the band's chaotic search for a frontman that would ultimately change music forever. From bust-ups and fan mania to the tabloid outrage that followed, Glen offers a frank and insightful portrait of a group of misfits who tore down the old order — and the cost that came with it. He also talks about the real story behind I Was a Teenage Sex Pistol, co-writing the songs that built Never Mind the Bollocks, the truth about his split from the Sex Pistols, the spirit of early punk culture, fashion and rebellion, and the life lessons learned from one of rock's great survivors. Hear Glen Matlock reflect on the chaos, the craft, the myth — and the man behind it all.

In this episode of the XS Noize Podcast, Mark Millar is joined by Charles Cave and Jack Lawrence-Brown from White Lies to discuss their electrifying seventh album "Night Light". This bold, live-driven reinvention captures the band at their most instinctive and free-flowing. Recorded live in the room for the first time, Night Light sees White Lies embracing spontaneity and creative risk — from the motorik rush of “Nothing On Me” and the 70s-inspired swagger of “Going Nowhere”, to the sweeping ambition of “All The Best” and the hypnotic finale “In The Middle.” Charles and Jack take us inside the fearless process behind the record — how rehearsing and performing songs before recording transformed the sound, how the influence of The Midnight Special inspired their approach, and how working with longtime collaborator Seth Evans unlocked a new sense of chemistry and space within the band. They also reflect on 16 years of White Lies — from their debut To Lose My Life… to the creative confidence of Night Light — exploring what keeps their partnership strong, how they've continued to evolve, and the joy of still finding new ground to explore together. “This record felt like freedom — the sound of a band who finally know exactly who they are.” — Charles Cave “It's amazing what happens when you stop chasing perfection and just play.” — Jack Lawrence-Brown White Lies' seventh album "Night Light" arrives November 7 via Play It Again Sam — a bold new chapter in the band's sixteen-year journey.

In this episode, #252 of the XS Noize Podcast, Mark Millar talks with Aaron Starkie of The Slow Readers Club to celebrate A Decade of Cavalcade — the Manchester band's breakthrough album that defined their sound and changed everything. As Aaron reflects: “Cavalcade was the moment where it all started to click — we found our sound, our confidence, and that connection with the audience that's carried us ever since.” — Aaron Starkie Across its ten tracks, Cavalcade captured The Slow Readers Club's signature blend of brooding intensity and euphoric release — from the pulsating urgency of “Forever In Your Debt” and the anthemic hope of “Plant The Seed,” to the haunting emotion of “Days Like This Will Break Your Heart” and the hypnotic title track itself. In this conversation, Aaron takes us inside that pivotal era — from writing and recording Cavalcade to creating the album's striking geometric artwork himself, and how those songs continue to evolve a decade later. He also discusses the band's creative growth, the importance of their DIY ethos, and the emotional power of seeing those tracks come alive again onstage. The episode arrives as The Slow Readers Club prepare to hit the road for their A Decade of Cavalcade tour — revisiting the record in full while celebrating a new chapter of momentum following the Top 20 success of their latest album, Out Of A Dream.

In this video, Pastor Tope and Mrs. Jumoke teach on the topic ‘Marriage, Relationships, and Friendship', and they indicate that you need the wisdom of God to build and sustain relationships that last. (Ecclesiastes 10:10 NKJV).How to Steward Your Single Life: • Be a person of value. You are needed only to the degree of the value you give. • Let go of baggage. You are the new background for yourself. Don't go into marriage without dealing with your past. • Pay attention to your associations. You are a product of the people around you. Be mindful of your conversations and nurture the covenant relationships God has placed in your life.How to Steward Your Relationship Life: • Pay attention to patterns. There are things your partner does that you must note. If he is angry while you are in a relationship, that is a pattern. Longevity does not matter; if it is not aligned, step out. Do not use sentiments to derail your destiny. • Check that your partner fears the Lord—not just someone who goes to church, but someone who hears God. Ask about their consecrations. • Make sure they are teachable and willing to listen.(Ephesians 5:22 MSG) — To wives, your husband is Lord.They also indicate that you need wisdom to direct you in your home. Even if you are prophetic or gifted, wisdom teaches you how to go about it. Submission is not weakness; it is order.As couples, build a culture of feedback and openness. Create time for personal couple retreats where you talk, share, and realign with each other.In Dealing with In-Laws: • Know that your in-laws are not after your life. Don't enter marriage with that mindset. Genuinely love them. • Be spiritually alert. Every family has patterns, so guard your spiritual life and discern the atmosphere you are marrying into. • Create healthy boundaries. Let your parents know that you are now married. • Do not discuss marital issues with family; they will always take sides and see you through their own lens.Pastor Tope and Mrs. Jumoke wrap up the message by reminding us that relationships and marriages thrive on wisdom, not emotion; therefore, you must build with understanding, stay grounded in the Word, and let love be your foundation.

In episode #250 of the XS Noize Podcast, Mark Millar is joined by Andrew Davie from Bear's Den and Irish singer-songwriter Ciaran Lavery to discuss their beautiful new collaborative EP Promiser — a stripped-back collection celebrating love, simplicity, and connection. Quietly recorded over just five days in Andrew's home studio and released via Communion Records, Promiser explores the art of restraint — capturing songs in one-take performances filled with birdsong, rain, and real human imperfection. “There was this lyrical idea early on of trying to write songs that didn't need innate conflict or tragedy to exist — songs that celebrated love in its simple, domestic moments, without the need for high drama.” — Andrew Davie, Bear's Den Drawing inspiration from the intimacy of Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska and Adrianne Lenker's Bright Future, Promiser sees both artists embracing the beauty of limitation, joined by guests Emma Gatrill and Joshua Burnside for instinctive, emotionally charged one-take performances. In this conversation, Bear's Den and Ciaran Lavery reflect on the friendship and creative spark behind Promiser — writing songs without conflict, finding meaning in everyday love, capturing raw home-studio moments, and bringing the record to life on their fast-selling Irish tour. “Working with Bear's Den felt almost accidental — we followed what felt right, not what was perfect.” — Ciaran Lavery “Ciaran's songs would just appear — almost fully formed — and that was a real joy to witness.” — Andrew Davie, Bear's Den Bear's Den are known worldwide for their cinematic folk sound and emotional honesty. Ciaran Lavery, one of Ireland's most acclaimed singer-songwriters, is celebrated for his poetic lyricism and intimate storytelling. Together, they've created something special with Promiser — a record that captures the raw beauty of two songwriters in complete creative trust.

Summary: This episode delves into the world of invasive birds, exploring their ecological impact and culinary potential. Justin and Adam discuss various species, including rock doves, Eurasian collared doves, songbirds, and waterfowl like snow geese and mute swans. They share insights on cooking techniques, flavor profiles, and sustainable practices for harvesting these birds. The conversation emphasizes the importance of viewing invasive species as a resource and encourages listeners to experiment with historical recipes and modern cooking methods. - Leave a Review of the Podcast - Buy our Wild Fish and Game Spices The Art of Venison Sausage Making Recipes: Breaking Up with Dove Poppers: Why It's Time to Move On Buttermilk Fried Dove & Waffles with Spicy Bourbon Maple Syrup Retro Recipe: Sous Vide Peking Dove with Pickled Veggies Sweet and Spicy Jalapeño Quail or Doves Roasted Doves and Maitake with Poblano Cream Sauce on Grits Tandoori Dove with Cilantro-Yogurt Sauce Takeaways: Invasive species can be a resource if harvested responsibly. Rock doves and Eurasian collared doves are common invasive birds in North America. Both doves are edible and can be prepared in various ways. Cooking techniques vary based on the age and type of bird. Songbirds like house sparrows and starlings are often overlooked as food sources. Mute swans are invasive and can be managed through hunting. Snow geese are abundant and provide high-quality meat. Cooking methods for waterfowl include roasting, braising, and grinding for sausage. Upland birds like pheasants are often introduced and considered game birds. Historical recipes can provide inspiration for cooking invasive species.

In Episode #247 of the XS Noize Podcast, host Mark Millar is joined by Finn O'Brien — frontman of London via Bristol indie band The Jacques — to discuss the band's powerful new album Make Repetition. The Jacques' story is one of resilience, tragedy, and survival. Formed as teenagers, they rose quickly with early festival slots and a Libertines support show at Hyde Park, before facing devastating setbacks — including the loss of bandmate Will Hicks and Finn's own battle with addiction. Now, with Make Repetition!, produced by Dan Swift, Jules Apollinaire, and Gordon Raphael, the band have emerged with their strongest, most confident work to date. In this episode, Finn talks about the stories behind songs like “Nothing Amazing” and “Via Dolorosa,” how he ended up making John Lydon cry while touring with PiL, and what really happened when the band's gear was stolen by their tour manager. He also reflects on music as a vital lifeline, the resilience that has carried The Jacques forward, and why their next record might be a concept album.

Ian Lyngen and Ben Jeffery bring you their thoughts on the U.S. Rates market for the upcoming week of September 22nd, 2025, and respond to questions submitted by listeners and clients.
CFRA's Sam Stovall and Max's Gary Zimmerman share their expectations for the Fed's announcement today, with both anticipating a 25-basis-point rate cut, but not necessarily agreeing that it's justified. Stovall believes Fed Chair Powell's commentary will sound hawkish, suggesting only one more rate cut this year, while Zimmerman points to the $5 trillion increase in the U.S. money supply since the pandemic and still-elevated inflation above the Fed's 2% target. The pair also discusses potential dissension among Fed voters, the impact on the labor market, and sectors that may be most affected by the announcement.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

We are under the two week marker from the official fall hunting season kickoff here at home- dove season opener. Have you ever thought beyond the socializing, cookouts, and college football watching parts of dove season and actually thought about some strategy behind it? I mean, we can all agree that no one wants to be the person at the dove hunt that can't hit anything. There actually is a little strategy that can be put to use. We also talk about Mine and Jordan's upcoming black bear hunt in North Arkansas and how it's causing us to do something new within our archery preparation regime. Check it out!
George is processing some extra-juicy gossip and Sam is recovering from a molecular gastronomy experience, but the show must go on! We welcome the delightful Atsuko Okatsuka (currently on tour in a city near you) to the lab and try to convince her that her fascinating past as a cheerleader is Certified Straight. Or is actually gay? Well now we have a dialogue! Plus: Do different kinds of gay guys correspond to different water birds?
