Podcasts about Echoes

Some hauntings don't arrive with terror—they unfold quietly, drifting through generations like unfinished conversations. In this episode, Jana shares the story of a lifetime shaped by subtle, lingering touches from the other side. It began when she was eight years old, the moment she somehow knew her grandmother had passed before anyone told her. While the rest of her family received signs of comfort in the weeks that followed, Jana believed she was the only one left without a message… until one night, when her grandmother appeared at the window of the room she couldn't bring herself to sleep in alone.But her grandmother's visit was only the beginning.For years, Jana and her sister shared a dream they never knew they had in common—a dream rooted in a part of their grandparents' house that, according to renovations, once existed in reality. And later, long after the family home changed hands, something continued moving quietly through Jana's life: footsteps on empty stairs, warmth in places no one stood, and the soft stirring of a spoon in a dark kitchen where no one was awake.#TrueGhostStory #RealHaunting #FamilySpirits #SharedDreams #ParanormalPodcast #GhostEncounter #AfterlifeSigns #SupernaturalExperiences #HauntedMemories #SpiritVisitationsLove real ghost stories?

This week we're bringing you a series of five episodes we always point to when people ask what Second Act Stories is all about. These "Unbelievable All-Stars" all have one thing in common: they exemplify what we're looking for in an incredible Second Act Story. Whether you're a longtime listener or brand new to the show, these episodes bring together the stories that best capture the heart of the podcast: bold choices, hard-earned wisdom, and journeys that continue to surprise and inspire. Dr. Peter Rork was a highly successful orthopedic surgeon in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. But at the age of 59, he unexpectedly lost his wife Meg and grief took hold of him. He quit his work. He stopped eating. And he and his dog Doyle retreated to a remote vacation home in Montana for three months. At the urging of a concerned friend, Peter refocused his life on animal rescue. He is the founder, president and chief pilot of "Dog Is My CoPilot," a not-for-profit group that transports animals from overcrowded kill shelters to adoption centers where families are waiting to welcome a new pet. His story has been told on CBS Sunday Morning, NBC Nightly News and The Washington Post. Dog Is My CoPilot has saved over 25,000 animals. Click here to support their important work. ******* If you enjoy Second Act Stories, please leave us a review here.

Whether you're a longtime listener or brand new to the show, these episodes bring together the stories that best capture the heart of the podcast: bold choices, hard-earned wisdom, and journeys that continue to surprise and inspire. Amy Siewe is the quintessential embodiment of how passion drives a second act. She left a safe and lucrative career as a real estate broker to hunt pythons in the Everglades. She proudly shares that she's 5' 4", 120 lbs., and captures pythons as big as 180 lbs. by physically jumping on them and wrestling them into submission. This is what pure passion looks like. In this fascinating episode, Amy shares what motivated her to leave a relatively safe career selling real estate to become The Python Huntress. In this wild ride, she shares how she became so interested in snakes, unbelievable accounts of actual hunts, how she built a business out of hunting pythons, why her role is necessary, and which of her two careers is more stressful.

Whether you're a longtime listener or brand new to the show, these episodes bring together the stories that best capture the heart of the podcast: bold choices, hard-earned wisdom, and journeys that continue to surprise and inspire. Since his junior year in high school, Chris Donovan has been sketching women's shoes. It's been his quiet obsession for the past 30+ years. At the age of 50, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer. And he knew it was time to leave his safe job at the phone company to pursue his lifelong dream. "I need to follow this. I need to find out why I have this passion for shoes." Based on the recommendation of European shoe designer Aki Choklat, he was accepted to Polimoda, one of the best fashion design institutes in the world. He enrolled in an accelerated masters program and packed his bags for Florence, Italy. And while his first few months were difficult, he ended up graduating at the top of his class. Since our initial interview with Chris in October 2018, he has figured out how to turn his amazing designs into an actual product. Take it from Tim Gunn of Project Runway: "It's like nothing you've ever seen before."

Leah Gorham spent 16 years working as a nurse, helping patients while she also helped an industry known for a shortage of talent. Even as the COVID-19 pandemic surfaced and spread, causing workloads and stress levels to skyrocket for first responders, Leah took it in stride. Although healthcare workers were widely recognized for being profoundly affected by the pandemic, it wasn't until she was attacked by a patient in what she calls the worst assault of her career (sadly, this is an ongoing issue in nursing) that she finally chose to scrub out and do something different. But instead of shifting to a career that would be easy, she moved to another industry that was profoundly affected by the pandemic: trucking. Today, Leah Gorham is a long-haul trucker, doing her part to alleviate challenges in the supply chain. But that's not the reason she went into it. She and her boyfriend are partners, taking to the open road together, and living life on their terms. She's never been happier. ******* If you enjoy Second Act Stories, please leave us a review here.

Fraidy Reiss' story is among the most inspiring tales we've ever profiled on the Second Act Stories podcast. Part of the Orthodox Jewish community in Brooklyn, New York, Fraidy was married at the age of 19. It was an arranged marriage to a man she barely knew. He demonstrated a violent streak within a week of the wedding punching his fist through a wall and threatened to kill her. Over the next twelve years, she feared for her own life on a daily basis. But she eventually she found a way to get a college education, achieve financial independence, divorce her husband and escape with the custody of her two daughters. Today, she is the Founder and Executive Director of Unchained At Last, the only organization in the United States dedicated to ending forced and child marriage through direct services and advocacy. Want to learn more about Fraidy Reiss and Unchained At Last? Check out her TED Talk on YouTube and visit the Unchained At Last website. Fraidy is also featured in Bruce Feiler's book "Life Is In The Transitions" (which is how we first heard of her) and Hillary and Chelsea Clinton's "The Book of Gutsy Women." ******* If you enjoy Second Act Stories, please leave us a review here.

HISTORICAL ECHOES: THE 10-YEAR RULE AND TIANANMEN BLINDNESS Colleagues James Fanell and Bradley Thayer. The authors draw parallels between current US policy and the British Empire's 1919 "10-year rule," which slashed defense spending based on the assumption of peace, leading to unpreparedness for WWII. Fanell recalls his intelligence experience post-Tiananmen Square, noting the US Navy dismissed the PLA Navy threat while myopically focusing on Russia. Thayer criticizes the US response to the 1989 massacre, where the Bush administration rushed to repair relations rather than recognizing the CCP as a "sadistic monster." They argue this failure to perceive the true nature of the regime allowed China to rise without political reform. FANELL NUMBER 21905 SHANGHAI RIOTS, BRITISH EMPIRE SIKH PATROL

Last year brought many challenges for Christian fantasy fans. From flops at the theaters now threatened by streaming slop, to creators making more events for Christian storytelling, to the continued growth of biblical fiction as the top genre of Christian-made entertainment—let's survey the top ten fantasy-related headlines from last year. Episode sponsors Edmund Spenser's The Faerie Queen The Case of the Heart Stone by Tulli Cole Above the Circle of Earth by E. Stephen Burnett Mission update New at Lorehaven: many features over the holidays!

Soon: discover the Guild's new wing, the Lorehaven Authorship. 10. Superheroes failed to save ailing cinema Marvel movies, despite their strengths, all flopped at the box office. Personally I did like Fantastic Four: First Steps, but didn't love it. Lorehaven folks were generally positive about some hero movies. ‘Captain America: Brave New World' Labors to Save a Struggling MCU, Marian A. Jacobs The Antiheroes of Thunderbolts* Preach to Marvel Itself, Daniel Whyte IV ‘Superman' (2025) Will Make You Believe a Man Can Be Earnest, Josiah DeGraaf However, audiences were tepid; none of these films broke even. The greatest foe of superheroes? Flippancy. Next: lack of family. MCU reached its apex with creators who at least feigned sincerity. DC's nobledark tone was winning fans, until the studio freaked out. 9. Disney's ‘Snow White' remake bombed Sticking with cinemas, this one might be the year's greatest fail. ‘Snow White' (2025) Isn't the Fairest of Adaptations, Parker J. Cole I didn't see it. Few people did. More people saw YouTube roasts. This whole nonsense was an ugly reflection of three terrible trends ruining films: “woke” checkboxes, cynicism, and corporate gloss. 8. Fans abandoned legacy sci-fi franchises Once a Doctor Who hero, Russell T. Davies has ruined that series. Star Trek is adrift, desperately trying to hail imaginary “new fans.” Of course, Star Wars keeps failing to please its own alienated fans. The greatest culprit here: Godless, sex-obsessed progressivism. One can't correct from this without visibly rejecting “woke” politics. 7. K-Pop Demon Hunters owned the summer We haven't had a genuine pop-culture movie phenomenon in ages. Then along comes this little giant animated movie on Netflix. ‘K-Pop Demon Hunters' Pits Singing Heroines vs. Monster Idols, Marian A. Jacobs Kids sang catchy songs. Adults found deeper themes to explore. YouTube reactions and covers on Instagram/TikTok exploded. For the first time, Netflix had a true four-quadrant hit on its hands. And dear Lord, may they learn only the right lessons from this, and not turn this into another streaming slop like so much other stuff. 6. ‘Woke' stories stepped back, yet persisted 251. Could a Cultural ‘Vibe Shift' Advance Christian-Made Fiction? Due to political events we won't detail, that agenda is on the wane. At least the Sexualityism religion is seen as stale and unstable. Many are still trying to figure out what, if any, ideas will replace it. A. D. Sheehan had to critique Brandon Sanderson, a late arrival to the “woke” content scene: Brandon Sanderson's New Fantasy ‘Wind and Truth' Summons a Postmodern Cringestorm. Oddly enough, we keep seeing Christian parents posting about the random books they find, after which they ask “Is it woke?” Pro tip: yeah, it's probably woke, especially with a cover like that. By now we surely have enough Christian-made novels to help? 5. Corporate slop threatens human stories 274. Why Shouldn't AI-Generated Content Replace Human Stories? This is partly about AI-generated slop, but not always. Skeptical fans now refer to anything bad with “this looks AI.” Why? Because the problem goes deeper than technology amok. Long before AI, corporate studios began relying on algorithms. I believe that's when these stories began feeling less, well, human. 272. Can We Save Cinema from Sloppy Stories? Instead of human hunches, stories get greenlit by metallic minds. Reference: the short-lived run of Robert Zemekis mocap movies. At first people express curiosity, but eventually they get bored. Prediction: this too shall pass. We'll see a lot of forced “firsts,” like “the first fully AI-generated movie.” They may even succeed. But the novelty will quickly wear off as it did before Mars Needs Moms. Still, Christian creators must dig deeper to defend organic human stories with philosophies deeper than “AI destroys the Earth.” 4. Conservative TV is trying more fantasy We greatly anticipate the DailyWire+ show The Pendragon Cycle. Based on Stephen Lawhead's novels, seven episodes drop Jan. 22. Christian showrunner Jeremy Boreing actually stepped down from being Daily Wire co-CEO, it seems, to ensure finishing this series. Political hot takes scarcely outlast the day. Great stories last long. Alas, there's the constantly controversial Magician's Nephew movie Marketing for this is dreadful, with publicly floated nonsense about an actress playing Aslan or the movie featuring “rock and roll.” 257. By Aslan's Mane, is Netflix Really Casting a Lady as the Lion? Meanwhile, platforms like Angel (run by LDS members, yet with freedom for Christians) released The Wingfeather Saga season 2. We also saw a new angel-heroes show, Gabriel and the Guardians. ‘Gabriel and the Guardians' Echoes a Golden Era of Saturday Morning Cartoons, Jenneth Leed Alas, any sci-fi-ish efforts seem restricted to dystopian dramas. We need higher budgets and risks to widen those genre limits. 3. Realm Makers unites Christian creators 265. How Can We Shine the Gospel at the Realm Makers Expo? 266. How Do You Assemble a New Expo for Christian Fandoms? | with Scott Minor Last year's conference in Grand Rapids marked an experiment. Can this organization blend creator training with a public expo? Results were mixed-positive, mainly because of the venue choice. For me, a debut sci-fi novelist, results may have skewed better. Yet our primary audience must be Christian fans and families. A semi-major downtown is difficult for these folks to access. Next year's new venue in St. Louis looks much more promising! And it sounds like the public Expo will be easier for fans to access. For Christian fantasy to grow, we must unite over common interest. Yet this unity must be based on love for the true Jesus, our Author. 2. Biblical fiction is the top Christian genre There's no contest. Amish and historical fiction is dethroned. Christian fantasy (mostly romantasy) remains confined to books. Amazon's ‘House of David' Anoints an Intriguing Biblical Epic, Michael Allen ‘House of David' Is Crowned King of Amazon Prime, Jenneth Leed 1. Fantasy for teen/YA women continues to rule the Christian-made fantastical worlds This might well be the repeat headline from previous years. Facts are facts. Teen girls and women outread everyone else. When they like fantasy, they prefer female heroes/relationships. Romantasy is the queen. And her handmaiden is royal drama. 249. What is ‘Romantasy'? | with Parker J. Cole And the new princess on the block? Time-travel romance, for sure. 263. What is Time-Travel Romance? | Every Hour Until Then with Gabrielle Meyer These books get the most attention on Instagram and elsewhere. Is it true that “men don't read”? Not necessarily. Men do read. But they tend to read nonfiction about culture, theology, history. And for fantastical fiction, these readers have unique expectations. Christians here favor proven legacies, especially Lewis/Tolkien. One can't complain about the reality. Instead, meet the standard. Frankly, that's my hope for Above the Circle of Earth and beyond. Of course I support teen/YA female-focused fantasy stories! Yet that's not my genre; it doesn't help me, personally, grow in joy. Surely there are more readers who favor other kinds of stories, maybe deeper, maybe in underdog genres like sci-fi and horror. Christians must expect a true joyous sci-fi future under King Jesus. And we uniquely understand supernatural realities/horror today. But making new stories isn't enough. We must cultivate readers. That's our mission at Lorehaven with our new mission statement: Escape bad books. Find the best Christian fantasy and sci-fi! Watch this space for more about bad books, reader cultivation, and new resolutions to avoid scroll traps and level up your imagination. Com station Top question for listeners What was your top fantasy story or least-liked story in 2025? Next on Fantastical Truth “In one cataclysmic moment, millions around the world disappear.” Jesus returned thirty years ago. Or rather, He sort of pre-returned, the warm-up act, if you will. Many faithful Christians believe in this kind of “rapture.” And in December 1995, two authors teamed up and used this idea to create the most successful biblical end-times thriller we've yet seen. Last summer, we overviewed the series. Yet now we'll ask how that first Left Behind novel has aged, thirty years after its release.

In this episode of Wake Up with Miya, I'm joined again by Doc Brown — host of The Prometheus Lens Podcast and author of The Epic of Esau: The Birthright and Seed War.We're diving into one of the most mysterious topics in scripture: The Garment of Adam. Was it a relic of divine authority, a symbol of hidden knowledge, or something still guarded by powerful hands today?Doc and I explore what the garment truly represented, its connection to the fall of man, and whether it could still exist — possibly hidden beneath the Vatican or within ancient bloodlines.This conversation goes deep into the divine council, the lost authority of humanity, and the spiritual war that began in Eden.PLUS SIDE – WAIOLA (Exclusive Segment)On the Plus Side, we go even deeper — exploring the ancient divine council, whether Adam inherited the authority Satan lost, and how forbidden knowledge may have been woven into the garment itself. Doc also shares theories on Esau's lineage, modern elites, and whether remnants of the garment could still be hidden today.Watch the full uncensored Plus Side on Patreon: Join Waiola – Water of LifeWaiola members get:• The final 15–20 minutes of every episode (uncensored)• Access to the members-only Discord for deeper discussion• Plus-member shoutouts and early access to future episodesTOPICS WE EXPLOREWhat was Adam's true role in Eden?Did humanity inherit divine authority that made us a target?The Garment of Adam — where it came from and who had itEsau, Edom, and the hidden bloodlines through historyCould the garment or fragments still exist today?How forbidden knowledge connects to ancient power and the modern worldBUY ME A COFFEE LINKSupport the Show & Stay Connected:Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/sensiblehippiehttps://www.youtube.com/@WakeUpWithMiyaJoin My Free Patreon for ad-free episodes & exclusive content: https://Patreon.com/WakeupwithMiya

The first 100 days of church planting get the attention. The next 100 days determine sustainability.In this episode, Dr. Skinner speaks directly to pastors and church planters who launched strong and now find themselves in the trenches. As adrenaline fades and reality sets in, leaders face fatigue, vision drift, relational strain, and hidden fragility.This conversation reframes the early season of church planting, not as arrival, but as orientation. It explores what truly sustains a church after momentum slows and why faithfulness, presence, and formation matter more than speed and scale.Key Themes & Takeaways• Why most church plants struggle after the first 100 days, not during them• The danger of mistaking momentum for maturity• How adrenaline masks fragility in early ministry• Why mission sustains when vision alone cannot• The difference between gathering crowds and forming community• How emotional safety shapes discipleship and trust• Why proximity matters more than strategy in a new context• The importance of leadership depth and intentional equipping• What vision drift really reveals about trust and formation• Why the next season is not failure, but formationNotable Insights• “The first 100 days don't prove sustainability.

Among the many cool characters from the Viking Age that are brought to life in Assassin's Creed Valhalla is Alfred the Great. Before his military success against the vikings, Alfred also boasts one of the all-time great comeback stories. In January 878 all looked lost: Alfred was hiding in marshlands, his army defeated and scattered, and the Vikings controlled his kingdom. The key event that almost saw the end of Anglo-Saxon England was the Battle of Chippenham.Assassin's Creed Valhalla recreates the battle and puts players in the heart of combat. But what do we really know about the battle? How big was a viking army? What did the Anglo-Saxons count as a 'real' battle?To help answer these questions, Matt Lewis is joined by Professor Ryan Lavelle from the University of Winchester. In addition to writing Alfred's Wars: Sources and Interpretations of Anglo-Saxon Warfare in the Viking Age, he consulted on Assassin's Creed Valhalla.Echoes of History is a Ubisoft podcast, brought to you by History Hit.

Jing exclaimed excitedly, pointing at the map.Zh: 明华凑过来，仔细地看着地图。En: Minghua leaned in, studying the map closely.Zh: “这看起来像是通往某个隐蔽区域的路线。”他说，但眉头微皱，明显不放心。En: "This looks like a route to some hidden area," he said, but his brow furrowed, clearly uneasy.Zh: 丽芬凑近查看，小声说道：“这个地方，传言是一个秘密集会的场所。”En: Lifen leaned closer to look and whispered, "This place is rumored to be a secret meeting site."Zh: 尽管有些紧张，景感到这是一个追寻的机会。En: Despite some nervousness, Jing felt this was an opportunity to pursue.Zh: 然而，天坛是一个受保护的地点，他们的探索会面临阻碍。En: However, the Temple of Heaven is a protected site, and their exploration would face obstacles.Zh: 景心中犹豫不决，她想解开地图的秘密，但又不愿冒犯这个神圣的地方。En: Jing hesitated, wanting to unravel the map's secret but not desiring to offend this sacred place.Zh: 在一番讨论后，景决定继续前进。En: After some discussion, Jing decided to proceed.Zh: 她知道丽芬对这里的了解会帮助他们，而明华的谨慎能避免过于仓促的行动。En: She knew Lifen's understanding of the area would aid them, and Minghua's caution would prevent rash actions.Zh: 经过一番搜索，他们终于找到了地图上的一个入口。En: After a bit of searching, they finally found an entrance indicated on the map.Zh: 这是一扇隐藏在高墙后的门，似乎通往一个未知的地方。En: It was a door hidden behind a high wall, seemingly leading to an unknown place.Zh: 进入还是不进入？这是一个艰难的抉择。En: To enter or not? It was a tough choice.Zh: 尽管心中有怀疑，景还是决定进去。En: Despite doubts, Jing decided to go in.Zh: 但就在他们走过门口，进入那个小小的房间时，他们却发现，房间空无一物。En: But as they passed through the doorway into the small room, they found it empty.Zh: 只有墙角留下的一些灰尘和几片纸屑，暗示这里曾经有人活动过。En: Only some dust and scraps of paper left in the corner hinted that someone had once been here.Zh: 虽然未能找到期待的惊天发现，但景感到一丝慰藉。En: Although they hadn't found the earth-shattering discovery they hoped for, Jing felt a sense of solace.Zh: 这个地方仿佛在对时代的交汇微笑，提醒她，世代相连的纽带是多么重要。En: This place seemed to smile upon the convergence of eras, reminding her how important the bonds between generations are.Zh: “也许秘密不仅仅是物质上的发现。”景轻声说，透过窗户，看向远处的白雪。En: "Perhaps the secret is not just a material discovery," Jing said softly, looking out at the distant snow through the window.Zh: 他们离开天坛时，景心中明白，未来的探索不仅仅依赖于自己的梦想，还离不开与同伴的携手同行。En: As they left the Temple of Heaven, Jing understood that future explorations depend not only on her own dreams but also on working hand in hand with companions.Zh: 纵使物质上的古迹不再，她已在心中找到了比发现更多的东西——人与人之间的联结。En: Even if material relics are no more, she had found something greater in her heart—the connection between people.Zh: 景微微一笑，决定把这些领悟带到她的未来探寻中去。En: Jing smiled slightly, deciding to carry these insights into her future explorations.

Aloha and welcome to another episode of Wake Up with Miya.In this conversation, I'm joined by Tiffany Haney, creator and host of the Rooted Frequency podcast, for a grounded and expansive discussion on the energetic shift unfolding right now—and what it points to as we move toward 2026.Together, we explore the larger spiritual landscape shaping this moment in time, including the symbolism of the Fire Horse energy, biblical Revelation themes, and how ancient prophecy, intuition, and awareness intersect with what we're witnessing globally. We also touch on frequency healing, discernment, and how to stay centered as collective pressure, information overload, and uncertainty continue to rise.This episode isn't about fear or hype—it's about awareness, preparation, and remembering who we are during periods of transition. It's an invitation to pause, observe the signs, and reconnect with your own inner compass.Plus Side (Waiola)The final 15–20 minutes of this conversation continue on the Plus Side, called Waiola—which means water of life in Hawaiian. On that side, Tiffany and I go deeper into themes we can't fully explore publicly, with a more intimate, uncensored flow and additional insights.What you'll hear in this episode:The energetic tone of 2026 and why it's drawing attentionFire Horse symbolism and what it represents spirituallyRevelation themes and how prophecy is interpreted energeticallySigns and patterns emerging in the world right nowStaying grounded, sovereign, and aware during times of changeMahalo for being here and for supporting independent conversations that invite depth, discernment, and clarity.BUY ME A COFFEE LINKSupport the Show & Stay Connected:Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/sensiblehippiehttps://www.youtube.com/@WakeUpWithMiyaJoin My Free Patreon for ad-free episodes & exclusive content: https://Patreon.com/WakeupwithMiyaShop my Amazon Storefront: https://www.amazon.com/shop/profile/amzn1.account.AGYOPCXXGH6MN5RVAKGQWVZUZLEA/list/26B87RB4FZ9W2?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsflist_6BWRT43TH4MY2NM2XD6XWant to be on the show or have a guest suggestion?Email me at: Miya@wakeupwithmiya.comFollow Me Online:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/WakeupwithMiyaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/WakeupwithMiyaExclusive Discount!Shop at LVNTA: https://lvnta.com/lv_IcTq5EmoFKaZfJhTiSUse code OHANA for 20% off!Listen on Your Favorite Platform:Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, and everywhere podcasts are available!RATE & REVIEW:Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wake-up-with-miya/id1627169850Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0UYrXCgma1lJYzf8glnAxyMusic Credits:Beginning: "Echoes in the Shadows" - DK Intro: “At First Light” – LunarehOutro: “Uptown” – PALAEnd Music: “Crazy” - Eko

When Portuguese merchants ran aground on the Japanese isle of Tanegashima in 1543, two worlds collided - Europeans encountered Japan for the first time. For the next 50 years, Portuguese and their partners flooded into this newly discovered land aiming to spread the power of the Christian Church and sell wares that could revolutionise Japan, like the powerful gun. But in the fiery cauldron of Sengoku Japan, Portuguese missionaries were but one player in the most bloody and brutal of political games.Assassin's Creed Shadows delves into the tensions at the heart of this culture clash. Did Buddhist and Shinto Japanese accept Christianity? Why did the Japanese see Europeans as barbaric? Were Japanese warlords like Oda Nobunaga exploited by Western traders and church leaders, or were the Europeans unwittingly being exploited by the Japanese?Matt Lewis and Prof. Frederik Cryns, historical advisor on the hit TV show Shogun, uncover how Europeans fit into 16th century Japan's patchwork of daimyos and the momentous impact they had on feudal Japanese warfare and society.This episode was first published on 20th May 2024.

The heart of the Assassin's Creed franchise is the deadly rivalry between the brotherhoods of Assassins and Templars. These were real groups in history, whose power and influence in their lifetimes matched the longevity of their reputations. But how much of what we know of the two organisations is myth, and what is reality?To help separate fact from fiction, Matt Lewis is joined by Dr Steve Tibble, author of Assassins and Templars: A Battle in Myth and Blood.Echoes of History is a Ubisoft podcast, brought to you by History Hit. Listen here.Hosted by: Matt LewisEdited by: Michael McDaidProduced by: Robin McConnellSenior Producer: Anne-Marie LuffProduction Manager: Beth DonaldsonExecutive Producers: Etienne Bouvier, Julien Fabre, Steve Lanham, Jen BennettMusic by Elitsa AlexandrovaTell us your favourite Assassin's Creed game or podcast episode at echoes-of-history@historyhit.com Hosted on Acast.

Assassin's Creed Odyssey immerses players in the mythology of Ancient Greece. In particular, they can walk in the footsteps of Theseus through the Labyrinth and come face to face with the mythical Minotaur. Commonly associated with the maze-like Knossos palace on Crete, how much of the myth is rooted in reality? Prof Nicoletta Momigliano guides Tristan Hughes through the pathways between myth and reality of the Minoan Labyrinth.Echoes of History is a Ubisoft podcast, brought to you by History Hit. Listen here.Hosted by: Tristan HughesEdited by: Alex Jones and Aidan LongerganProduced by: Robin McConnell, Anne-Marie LuffSenior Producer: Anne-Marie LuffProduction Manager: Beth DonaldsonExecutive Producers: Etienne Bouvier, Julien Fabre, Steve Lanham, Jen BennettMusic:Phoibe the Orphan by The Flight, Michael GeorgiadesThe Minotaur by The FlightBarnabas by The Flight, Michael GeorgiadesIf you liked this podcast please subscribe, share, rate & review.

Five years in, the mission feels sharper than ever: equip correctional professionals with tools, mindset, and purpose that hold up under real pressure. We look back on a year of travel and training, thank the partners who help us serve, and pull together the most impactful moments from conversations that changed how we read risk, teach skills, and define what a good day on the tier looks like.Greg Williams and Brian Marren break down human behavior pattern recognition in a way that clicks on contact: master the baseline, spot the deviation, act before escalation. From the “watching the watcher” concept to recalibrating your mind at every threshold, their insights show why anticipation beats reaction and why prisons are the ultimate classroom for sense-making. We build on that with practical training talk from Myles Cook, who turns skills into a repeatable process: define the real problem, design adult-learning solutions, and leave with a pitch your leaders can approve and measure. It's training that sticks because it solves something that hurts.We also get grounded in purpose with Lt. Col. Dave Grossman, who frames corrections as a life of daily sacrifice in service of public safety. That perspective threads through Pete Bloodworth's story of earning trust at USP Marion, where open bars and lever locks demanded courage and clarity, and Jimmy Cummings walks us through a can't-make-this-up escape tale that proves the job will surprise you no matter how many shifts you've worked. Along the way, we share updates on my upcoming new books—The Weight of Justice and Echoes of the OzarksIf these insights help you work smarter and safer, tap follow, share with a teammate, and leave a review on your podcast app. Your support helps more officers find tools that matter and keeps this community learning together.Send us a text PepperBallFrom crowd control to cell extractions, the PepperBall system is the safe, non-lethal option.OMNIOMNI is cutting-edge software designed to track inmates and assets within your prison or jail.

On Friday, May 8th, 1981, nineteen year old Long Island native Tammy Mahoney left her Oneida, New York apartment to visit friends twenty miles away in the town of Hamilton.  She never arrived and her case was investigated as that of a missing person.Twenty years later, in May of 2001, law enforcement officials announced that witnesses had come forward stating that on the night of her disappearance, Tammy was taken to a remote area, assaulted and ultimately murdered by a small group of men.  To date, none of them have ever been charged or even named as witnesses are too afraid to testify.Her family desperately hopes for justice and the chance to bring Tammy home where she may be laid to rest beside her parents.  There are people who know the truth, but until they come forward, the case remains in limbo.Justice for Tammy Mahoney Facebook PageFollowTEPod.comClick here to Submit a Question for the Trace Evidence Q&A episodeFollow Trace Evidence on Social MediaTwitter --- Instagram --- TikTok --- YouTube --- Like Facebook Page --- Join Facebook Group --- Threads --- Like MeWe Page --- Join MeWe Group --- BlueskySuppport Trace EvidencePatreon --- Paypal --- Cash App --- Buy Me A CoffeeTrace Evidence Merch ShopsTeePublic --- ShopTEPod --- SpreadshopAll Other LinksOfficial Trace Evidence Website --- LinkTreeMusic Courtesy of:"Lost Time"  Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/"Echoes of Time" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/"Galactic Rap" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/#truecrimepodcast #unsolvedmysteries #coldcase #coldcaseinvestigation #murder #murdermystery #missingperson #missingpersons #truecrimecommunity #mysterypodcast #truecrime #coldcasefiles #truecrimestories #crimelovers #truecrimeaddict #truecrimejunkie #crimescene #justiceforall #missing #crimesquad #podcastcommunity #sleuthsunite #darkhistories #criminalmindset #detective #detectivediaries #forensics #forensicfiles #crimestories #crimepodcast #traceevidence #traceevidencepodcast #criminalinvestigation #justiceforvictims #detectivework #truecrimediscussion #podcastfamily #listenandsolve #crimefans #listentotraceevidence #uncoverthetruth #podcastrecommendations #podcastlove #podcastlife #truecrimeobsessed #followtheclues #cluefinders #podcastaddict #unsolvedmurders #unsolveddisappearances #detectiveatheart #jointheinvestigation #disappearance #vanishing #abduction #gonemissing #upandvanished #pacheco #stevenpacheco #podcasting #crimetalk #crimeanalysis #theories #tammymahoney #longisland #oneida #newyork #upstate #oneidanationBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/trace-evidence--3207798/support.

Some houses are noisy because they're old. This one was noisy because something inside refused to stay quiet. A family moves into a pristine, newly built home — the kind where everything still smells like fresh paint and untouched carpet. But just beyond the driveway sits a historical cemetery, its stones weathered, its stories forgotten. And soon, the dead begin reminding them they are not alone. Shadows move through rooms that should be empty. A voice answers from the silence. Phones scream without warning. And when mother and daughter begin hearing the same swirling, pulsing sound in the middle of the night, it becomes clear that whatever is trying to reach them… isn't doing it gently. But the most terrifying moment doesn't involve footsteps, whispers, or flickering lights — it arrives in the form of two women no longer fully human, appearing at the edge of sleep with a desperation that feels almost intentional. Are they spirits tied to the cemetery? Echoes of past lives trapped between worlds? Or something far more personal trying to make itself known? #realghoststories #trueghoststory #paranormal #hauntedhouse #newbuildhaunting #sleepparalysis #cemetery #ghoststoriesonline #scarypodcast #hauntedhome #demonicencounter #unexplained Love real ghost stories?

When Ron and Nancy Stallings found the old Victorian on Evergreen Street in Baltimore, they thought their dreams had come true. With each bringing three kids from a previous marriage into the relationship, they needed to find a house large enough to accommodate their large family, but their limited income made that seem impossible. So, when they learned that the house was being offered at a bargain price, Ron and Nancy didn't hesitate to put in an offer—a decision they would soon come to regret.In the years that the Stallings family occupied the home on Evergreen Street, they encountered a variety of paranormal activity, from the faucets and lights turning themselves on and off to the disembodied voices and apparitions of strangers in the home. Rather than be captives in their home to forces they could neither fight nor understand, Ron and Nancy decided to take action to rid themselves of the other worldly presence, but quickly realized they were woefully unprepared for the battle that lay before them.ReferencesAmodio, Joe. 2005.
