In this 508th episode of ”Elton Jim” Turano's “CAPTAIN POD-TASTIC,” Jim Turano sees how current chaos makes people defy reality and seek fairytale endings.

Send a textIn today's episode, I'm joined by Elton Anderson Jr., who is currently undergoing a powerful and very public identity evolution into what he now calls L10.A triple water sign in astrology, Elton brings a deeply intuitive, emotionally attuned lens to both life and business, something that's only been intensified by a near-death experience he openly shares during our conversation.What unfolds in this episode is a raw, honest dialogue about what it actually looks like to walk yourself through transformation in real time.Not the performative version, But the version where your nervous system, your voice, your expression, and your path begin to outgrow the identity that once kept you safe.Through his work in what he calls esoteric entrepreneurship, L10 is choosing to document and share the process of becoming  using content as both a creative outlet and a record of his own evolution.We talk about:The aftermath of a near-death experience and how it reshapes your relationship to purposeIdentity transitions and the grief that can accompany growthAstrology as a language for self-awarenessEmotional depth as an entrepreneurial advantageCreating content from truth, not performanceWhat it means to express yourself fully… before you're “ready”I was introduced to Elton through my sister-in-law, followed the intuitive nudge to connect, and what resulted was a truly magical conversation that I believe many of you will resonate with especially if you're in a season of shedding an identity that once made sense but no longer fits.You can follow L10 on Instagram  here:

Both Harriet and Mr. Elton have been spending more time at Hartfield, and Emma has the perfect idea to bring them both together: she will draw Harriet's portrait for Mr. Elton. Emma has a great fondness for taking likenesses, and is very experienced, though none of her previous portraits were ever finished. That doesn't seem to bother Mr. Elton, who is highly complimentary of all of Emma's sketches, and especially of the new portrait of Harriet. His gallantry is a sure sign that he's in love; Emma is certain of it. But we know better, and as Emma takes the next step in her familiar story, let this week's Friday Favorites paint a picture that takes you into another night of soft and relaxing sleep.-----Welcome to the Jane Austen Bedtime Stories podcast!

In this 507th episode of ”Elton Jim” Turano's “CAPTAIN POD-TASTIC,” Jim Turano needs to know the rules of important texting etiquette.

Av tempo-løgunum, sum eisini komu á singleplátu, er 'Healing Hands' tað kendasta, meðani tað minni kenda, 'Club At The End Of The Street', hevur verið ynskt í Plátubarrini, so heilt ókent er tað ikki. 'Sleeping With The Past' er poppur, harav okkurt lag kann kallast popp-rokkur. Í fýrsunum varð nógvur negativur kritikkur skrivaður um pláturnar hjá Elton John, og tað gjørdi hann firtnan. Sum eitt aftursvar gjørdi hann heildarverkið 'Reg Strikes Back' í 1988. 'Reg' er stytting av dópsnavni hansara, 'Reginald'. Men har var ov lítið krút í aftursvarinum til ummælararnar, so hann vann ikki tann tvírdráttin. Útgávan er heldur ikki ein Elton John klassikari. Tí var tað eitt sindur óvæntað frá Elton, at hann longu árið eftir í 1989 gav okkum hesa flottu temaplátuna, 'Sleeping With The Past'. Kanska var hon byrjanin til 90'ini, tí tey vóru eins og 70'ini eitt sera væleydnað útgávuskeið við løgum, sum hann skrivaði til tekstir hjá Bernie Taupin og Time Rice. Plátubarrin 7. februar 2026

Emma is taken with Harriet Smith, and her intimacy at Hartfield soon becomes a settled thing. As their friendship deepens and Emma learns more about Harriet's life, the more opportunities she sees to impart her wisdom. When Emma learns of Harriet's intimacy with the Martins, and especially Harriet's attachment to farmer Robert Martin, she quickly sees an area where she can be of use. After Emma's previous matchmaking success, she is confident that the next couple she can connect is Harriet and Mr. Elton, the vicar of Highbury. As Emma sets off on her matchmaking mission in this week's Friday Favorites, let her familiar story help you end your day and drift into a night of warm and peaceful sleep.-----Welcome to the Jane Austen Bedtime Stories podcast!

That meticulous perspective is precisely what inspired Ink'd Stores.Beyond the business world, our guest is a dedicated family man, married for 27 years with three kids, Cat, Ben, and Maddie. His home is clearly a lively one, with an animal roster that includes two beagles, Arkie and Hazel Mae, and two cats, Steve and Elton.

Happy 2026! In this new occasional series "Famous Covers," we'll explore some of the most successful Beatles and solo artist covers from a wide range of musicians. The first entry features a 1975 double-sided single by Elton John, covering two John Lennon-penned songs - "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" and "One Day At A Time." Elton stays largely faithful to the original recordings, but puts his own spin on the tracks. John Lennon himself contributed guitar and background vocals on Elton's version of "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" and played guitar on "One Day At A Time." So which Elton John cover do we like better - his take on the psychedelic "Lucy In The Sky" or the more introspective "One Day At A Time?"  Feel free to email or record a message about this episode to ivegotabeatlespodcast@outlook.com and we'll include you in our "Please Mr. Postman" segment.

“Every time you press upload, you're telling the universe this is your part in the grand scheme.” — Elton Anderson, Jr.What if your content wasn't just a creative outlet, but a mirror for your transformation? In this episode, Rain Bennett sits down with Elton Anderson—a photographer, storyteller, and founder of L10 Media—for a deep, vulnerable conversation on using storytelling to break free of the algorithm, let go of outdated identities, and build a media platform rooted in purpose.Elton shares his own creative pivot, leaving behind a successful photography career and embracing a new chapter built around authenticity, micro media ownership, and spiritual self-alignment.Together, they explore how to attract the right audience by showing up fully as yourself, why resistance is a sign you're on the right path, and how to build a life and career that flow from the inside out. If you're multi-passionate, burned out by content trends, or questioning how to evolve in public, this episode will show you that your shadow isn't something to fear—it's where your story begins.In this episode, you will learn to:Embrace identity shifts as part of your creative evolutionFind your unique voice through consistent, imperfect actionUse storytelling as a tool to connect with others and yourselfBuild a micro media company around your personal purposeReframe resistance as a signal that you're on the right pathFollow Elton on:InstagramTikTokor visit his website, HERE!

As the new year gets rolling, I've been trying to make room for what I call “the soul.” To me, this means being more receptive to those mysterious synchronicities, insights, and feelings so easily missed when I keep myself busy and distracted. Sometimes this energy comes from within, and sometimes it's a “postcard from God,” as Walt Whitman would say.Bernie With His Plough & The Great Horned OwlIt could be a lyric that aligns with something on my mind. The other day, I heard Elton John sing the lyric about the howling old owl in the woods (from “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road”). Though I've heard the line many times before, this time was different. Recently, each night when I take my dog out, I hear the haunting sound of a great horned owl in the woods behind my house.But what do I do with that synchronicity? Is it the owl itself - a symbol of wisdom, intuition, mystery, and the ability to see beyond illusion- that I should listen to? Maybe it's the lyric Bernie Taupin wrote for Elton about a desire to leave the superficial ego-driven world behind and return to a more grounded life - a more authentic self. Bernie was ready to leave the yellow brick road of striving for success. He wanted to go back to his plough and back to the howling old owl in the woods.Maybe it's both - the haunting sound of the owl and a longing to return “home.” Maybe the owl's saying, “Leave me alone already and just honor the mystery.” Maybe Bernie is telling me he'd love my simple, quiet life in rural Kentucky, a life that at times doesn't feel full enough.Contemplating Solitude With MertonA couple of days ago, while doing Qigong (meditative movements similar to Tai Chi), I wondered if there is a place nearby where people gather and move in these gentle ways. The first place that came to mind was the Abbey of Gethsemani, which is not far from here. Finding a group of monks, at least Trappist monks, doing Qigong, would be quite unlikely. Maybe if Merton were still around.Gethsemani was made famous by Thomas Merton, an influential spiritual writer and Trappist monk who lived at the monastery for 27 years. Four of those years, he spent mainly in his hermitage - a secluded cabin in the woods. “Not all of us are called to be hermits, but all of us need enough silence and solitude in our lives to enable the deeper voice of our own self to be heard at least occasionally.” - Thomas MertonBefore entering the Abbey at 26, Merton was worldly, raucous, and rebellious. Like Bernie and many of us, he struggled with the tension between a simple, humble life and a desire to engage with and influence the outside world.While at Gethsemani, Merton wrote over 70 books about contemplation, prayer, Eastern religions, interfaith dialogue and social justice, including his famous autobiography, “Seven Story Mountain.”What do I do with that? Merton did all of that while living a quiet life right here in my neck of the woods. Hmmmmmm….Reclaiming That Girl That Used to Be MineSometimes the soul provides a shift in how we think about ourselves and our lives. Sometimes, however, a postcard cuts right through all the analysis and goes straight to the heart.Yesterday, I saw a video reel of Sara Bareilles and Rufus Wainwright singing, “She Used to Be Mine.” Though I'd heard parts of this song before, I never stopped long enough to listen. Last night, with my reclaimed intention of receptivity, I did. Instead of landing on some great insight, I found myself in tears. Quickly, I pulled myself out, before sliding right back into those tears, tears that I realized I was grateful could still flow.When was the last time I cried? And why was I crying? And, why were so many of the people in the audience crying? The song is about losing one's self, and losing the connection to the child we once were - a universal loss that can make some of us ache, even at the age of 58, when we think we've done such a brilliant job of putting all of those parts of ourselves back together.Though no longer recognizing herself, she still remembers the girl she used to be. She sings with tenderness about that girl's imperfection, effort, goodness, and self-reliance. She questions what life would have been like if she could rewrite the ending for that girl.Sara Bareilles wrote this song for the 2016 Broadway musical, “Waitress.” The lead character sings it at the end of the second act when she has hit rock bottom. She is lost and struggling to remember who she is. Through the song, she mourns the loss of herself before starting to gain footing and for a moment taps into the strength and grit of that child she starts to reclaim.The story isn't over. We all have an opportunity to write the next act and to extend unconditional affection for the child that she describes as messy, but kind, lonely most of the time, but more, she is all of this “mixed up,” and “baked in a beautiful pie.”Why Here & Now?My long-held hope in sharing information online has been to balance the mind and spirit (the right and left brain). In recent times, I've leaned into the left-brain science. That's what people tend to read or listen to. That's what people need and can't easily find elsewhere. I'd forgotten, however, that expressing myself from my heart is something that I need. It is who I am. My own health and healing required much more than scientific information. It would be dishonest to only share part of that story.Even as a child, writing was my lifeline. It helped me find my place in the world. It gave me peace. That child wouldn't need to make sense of why the owl speaks to me at night. Or, why Bernie showed up with a plough in hand. Or, why Merton put down his pen and stepped out of his cabin to greet me in the woods. Or, even why Sarah, dressed as a waitress, crossed my path while singing a song I'd be sure was written just for me.But, I'm not only that child. I'm all grown up and can't help but wonder why these particular energies showed up now, beyond the fact that I created some space for them to do so? What would they have me know? I think, to embrace paradox and to remember that we are physical beings of this world, and also spiritual beings who transcend it. We need connection, and we need solitude. We are adults shaped by a lifetime of experience, and still vulnerable children filled with wonder and sometimes hurt. We are light, and we are shadow. And as Sara would say, we are all of this “mixed up and baked in a big beautiful pie.”Wishing you wholeness as you make your way through this year,CourtneyTo learn more about my discovery calls, non-patient consultations, or mentoring, please visit my website at:CourtneySnyderMD.com This is a public episode.

Welcome to Deckchairs & Dirty Air, a Patreon only production from Grand Prix Podcast and Rogue Two Media. This week Andy and Elton have found a rather large mountain and are set to carve four faces from Formula 1 into it to stand the test of time. The question is…… who? We hope you enjoy....

In the final episode of their four-part December series, Chris DeMakes and Chris Fafalios wrap things up with Elton John's festive classic “Step Into Christmas.” They talk about the song's spontaneous feel, the lighthearted lyrics, and the unmistakable style shaped by Elton's longtime collaborators Gus Dudgeon and Bernie Taupin. The conversation touches on the Phil Spector-inspired wall of sound production, the standout bass line, and that gloriously chaotic outro that perfectly captures the energy of early '70s rock. From its iconic music video to its unexpected return to the charts decades later, this episode celebrates how “Step Into Christmas” became one of the all-time holiday favorites.

While Lee, gets banned from Reddit for saying naughty words about the Fanta Menace, enjoys an interactive cartoon game and travels to a pub in Bristol to teach people to paint robins in a pub.  After that we all get our gym wear on and try to awkwardly look anywhere but the screen when our partners are in the room as we review The Substance.
