Présentée par Starchild.Cet été, Country Connection vous invite à monter à bord. Pour son 35ᵉ épisode, l'émission prend la route pour un voyage de plusieurs milliers de kilomètres entre San Diego et New York. À bord : Scott, Nathan et Cody. Trois hommes, trois histoires, trois regards sur une Amérique qui défile au rythme des souvenirs. À chaque étape, une chanson. À chaque chanson, une page de leur vie qui se tourne ou qui refuse de se refermer.Pendant près de deux heures, les voix de Kenny Chesney, Ella Langley, Keith Urban, Brothers Osborne, Martina McBride, Elvis Presley, Patsy Cline, Zac Brown Band et Dolly Parton rythmeront ce voyage entre San Diego et New York. Des artistes aux univers très différents, réunis par une même route où chaque chanson raconte une étape, un souvenir ou une rencontre. Des gares oubliées aux stations-service perdues, des longues routes de l'Ouest aux lumières de Manhattan, chaque halte deviendra le décor d'un récit où la musique country n'accompagne pas seulement le voyage : elle raconte les voyageurs.Alors, installez-vous confortablement. Le moteur tourne déjà. Il ne reste plus qu'à prendre la route...
George Noory and Coast guest host Richard Syrett explore some of the biggest mysteries around famous rock musicians, like the tragedies connected to Led Zeppelin being the result of a curse from the occultist Alistair Crowley, if Elvis Presley was murdered because of his manager's gambling debts, and Buddy Holly's girlfriend having a dream about the plane crash that killed him and Ritchie Valens.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Maurizio Pratelli"Drink Parade"101 canzoni da bere in un fiatoArcana Edizioniwww.arcanaedizioni.comDrink Parade nasce da una lontana suggestione mai rimossa: il piccolo Maurizio, nove o dieci anni, ogni venerdì mattina, appena suonava la campanella dell'ultima ora, usciva da scuola e correva fino a casa per arrivare in tempo per accendere la radio e ascoltare la sigla iniziale: “Lelio Luttazzi presenta Hit Parade”. A questo rito, per lui irrinunciabile, si era arresa anche sua nonna: nessun pranzo pronto in tavola finché non avevano ascoltato tutti gli otto 45 giri più venduti della settimana. Posate, piatti e bicchieri dovevano rimanere in silenzio fino alla canzone regina, quella al primo posto.Drink Parade nasce dunque da questo primo seme che ha dato vita alla passione per la musica, coltivata poi negli anni in varie forme. Ma naturalmente questo libro non potrebbe non essere anche figlio della fortunata relazione editoriale, in tre fortunati atti, tra Vini e Vinili. Un giovane erede che ha però già deciso di iniziare il proprio percorso cercando di evitare le troppe curve: “101 canzoni da bere d'un fiato”. Non una classifica ma un veloce viaggio di suggestioni pop senza tempo, dissetato alla fine di ogni tappa da un buon vino: Lucio Corsi e le vecchie vigne di Trebbiano, Elvis Presley e le bollicine ancestrali di un moscato secco, Bob Dylan e un leggendario Barolo delle Langhe, e via così, per 101 volte. Il filo conduttore è la leggerezza di un jukebox ritrovato lungo la strada in un locale metropolitano dove, dopo la prima canzone, l'autore ha chiesto al barman altre monete e un altro bicchiere di rosso.Prefazione di Alessio BrunialtiMaurizio Pratelli. Giornalista e promotore culturale, dal 2006 fa parte della giuria del Premio Tenco. Per Arcana ha pubblicato diversi saggi, tra cui la trilogia Vini e Vinili, divenuta nel tempo un cult degli abbinamenti tra calici e canzoni. Due, invece, i romanzi editi da Ultra Novel: La fattoria del pop (2024) e Scendo prima del capolinea (2025).Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

Few musicians have influenced popular music as profoundly as Louie Shelton, yet millions of people know his guitar long before they know his name. In this episode of A Breath of Fresh Air, Louie opens the studio door on one of the greatest periods in recording history.Growing up in Arkansas, Louie discovered the guitar as a young boy, met Elvis Presley while still at junior high school and later became friends with fellow Arkansan Glen Campbell before heading west to Los Angeles with one ambition—to become a top session guitarist. He explains why becoming a studio musician was the ultimate dream and how years of relentless work finally earned him a place among the legendary Wrecking Crew. Louie reveals how one inspired guitar hook changed everything. Asked to come up with something memorable for a new television project called The Monkees, he created the famous opening riff to Last Train to Clarksville, launching a career that would see producers across Los Angeles competing for his talents. He shares extraordinary stories from sessions with The Jackson 5, Motown, Boz Scaggs, Neil Diamond, The Carpenters, Lionel Richie, Marvin Gaye, Diana Ross, Smokey Robinson and dozens more, explaining how many classic recordings were built before the artists even stepped into the studio. You'll hear what made the Motown rhythm section so unique, why Michael Jackson immediately stood out as an 11-year-old vocalist and how session musicians created some of the most recognisable guitar parts in music history. Louie also reflects on working with Elvis Presley, Karen Carpenter, Tiny Tim and countless stars whose careers he watched unfold, while offering thoughtful observations on fame, celebrity and why so many legendary artists struggled with the pressures that accompanied enormous success. The conversation also explores Louie's transition from session guitarist to acclaimed producer, producing Seals & Crofts' Summer Breeze and Diamond Girl, launching England Dan & John Ford Coley, and producing Art Garfunkel's platinum-selling Fate For Breakfast. Finally, Louie reflects on why he believes the music of the '60s and 70s continues to resonate with audiences around the world and explains why, despite an extraordinary career spanning more than six decades, he still picks up the guitar every day. This is a rare opportunity to hear from one of the true architects of popular music—a man whose guitar playing became part of the soundtrack of generations.

Miguel Ángel González Suárez te presenta el Informativo de Primera Hora en 'El Remate', el programa matinal de La Diez Capital Radio que arranca tu día con: Las noticias más relevantes de Canarias, España y el mundo, analizadas con rigor y claridad. Aemet anuncia la cuarta ola de calor de este verano: esta es la previsión para Canarias. Gran Canaria estará en aviso amarillo a partir del miércoles, con temperaturas que alcanzarán hasta 37ºC. Hoy hace un año: Los empresarios de La Palma, “decepcionados con el engaño” de los 400 millones del TMT: “Menos humo y más acciones reales” Reclaman que “el Gobierno de España, si de verdad quiere ayudar a la isla, apruebe de forma inmediata la aplicación del 60% de bonificación del IRPF para los residentes palmeros, una medida comprometida y aún sin ejecutar con la agilidad que exige la situación” Hoy se cumplen 1.621 días de guerra entre Rusia y Ucrania. 4 años y 153 días. Hoy es martes 28 de julio de 2026. Día Mundial contra la Hepatitis. El objetivo de esta fecha es impulsar a nivel mundial todas las iniciativas y estrategias que pueda realizar el sector salud en contra de las hepatitis víricas. Se estima que en el año 2015 había aproximadamente 250 millones de casos de hepatitis B en el mundo, principalmente en países como África subsahariana, Asia y las islas del Pacífico. Aunque hoy en día también ha proliferado esta afección en regiones de América del Sur, las zonas sur de Europa central y oriental, Asia y el Medio Oriente. Con la celebración de este día, la OMS se ha planteado alcanzar varios objetivos a nivel mundial, entre los que se encuentra, el reducir en un 90% la probabilidad de nuevas infecciones de hepatitis en cualquiera de sus presentaciones A, B,C, D o E y evitar el 65% de las muertes que acarrean año tras año el contagio de hepatitis vírica. La hepatitis vírica es una infección que produce una inflamación aguda en el hígado. Existen 5 virus diferentes de la hepatitis, cada uno catalogado con una letra del alfabeto diferente y mientras más alejado de la A se encuentre mayor es el riesgo que acarrea la infección. En la mayoría de los casos, la inflamación del hígado comienza de forma súbita y solo dura unas pocas semanas. La forma más común de contraer esta enfermedad, es insertando en nuestro cuerpo algún objeto contaminado con sangre de alguien que ya posee el virus, cosa que ocurre mucho en personas que se tatúan, se hacen piercing en el cuerpo, tienen varias parejas sexuales o comparten agujas para inyectarse drogas o cualquier otra sustancia en el cuerpo. 1907.- El coronel británico Robert Baden-Powell funda los "boy scouts".

How have we not covered this yet? This week, we're heading to the strangest nursing home in movie history with Don Coscarelli's Bubba Ho-tep (2002), the cult horror-comedy that asks one unforgettable question: What if Elvis Presley and John F. Kennedy teamed up to fight an ancient Egyptian soul-sucking mummy? Starring the living legend Bruce Campbell as an aging Elvis who insists he swapped identities with an impersonator years before and Ossie Davis as a Black man who believes he's the real JFK, Bubba Ho-tep blends absurd comedy, heartfelt drama, and supernatural horror into one of the most original cult films ever made. Join us as we unpack the film's offbeat premise, memorable performances, surprising emotional depth, and why this low-budget oddity has earned such a devoted following. We'll explore its themes of aging, identity, friendship, and mortality while celebrating the bizarre charm that makes Bubba Ho-tep truly unlike anything else. Whether you're a longtime fan or discovering this cult classic for the first time, grab your favorite snack, watch out for scarabs, and settle in for a conversation that's equal parts hilarious, heartfelt, and wonderfully weird.TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@wheel.of.horror7?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pcYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@wheelofhorrorpodcast1802/videosApple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wheel-of-horror/id1534102813Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3HnyAISG8Z8hvMFdSG60tE?si=9b785cf21c7f46a3Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wheel_of_horror/Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/HorrorWheel
A bit of a super-sized week of physical media (box sets will do that to you) but one worthy of appreciation and curiosity. Thankfully there are a number of very economical (in length) classics from the film noir era to appreciate. If you don't already know one of the big plot twists of the '70s sci-fi era you get your chance. You get one of the best films from the respective careers of Mario Bava and Elvis Presley. There is some early Wes Craven and late Tobe Hooper. Rock Hudson and Doris Day's classic rom-com gets an upgrade. A brat packer become a serial killer (no, not Andrew McCarthy). WE GOT ONE of our Why-Is-This-Not-On-Blu-Ray titles, a classic farce from the 1980s. Plus, Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill is edited into one singular complete vision.

This week on the Ordinary Extraordinary Cemetery podcast, Jennie and Dianne are joined by award-winning author and historian Mary Ellen Pethel, who shares the Ordinary Extraordinary story of Sarah Ophelia Colley Cannon, or as most of the world knows her, Minnie Pearl! Born in 1912 in Centerville, Tennessee, Sarah often recalled how her upbringing in a small town shaped her outlook on life. After moving to Nashville during the Great Depression to study theater, she joined a touring company and developed the iconic country girl persona we know today, inspired by her friend Mattie Burden. Her big break came in 1940 when she debuted at the Grand Ole Opry, making audiences laugh with her signature greeting and comedic style. Over her fifty-plus year career, she shared the stage with country music legends like Patsy Cline and Hank Williams, while also mentoring young artists like Elvis Presley and Garth Brooks, new to the industry. As Dolly Parton said, "Minnie Pearl became my friend in 1964. I was 18, new in town, and Minnie Pearl took me under her wing. She gave me good advice, the how to's, the how not to's, the when to's, and the when not to's. I learned a lot from her as a woman and as a professional entertainer but above all that, as a good, solid human being. Minnie was more than a big laugh. She was a big heart, and I will always love her."Image Credit: By Denny-Moeller Talent, Inc.

On this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with brothers Jesse and Noah Bellamy to talk about their outstanding new album, The Sunshine Shop, and what it means to build music around family, trust, and years of playing together. We discuss why recording with the same band they tour with gives the album its live energy, and how they found a studio environment that captured their sound without overproducing it. Our conversation naturally turns to family harmony, and the unique connection siblings share when they sing together. Jesse and Noah reflect on growing up surrounded by music, the influence of classic country, rock, soul, and gospel, and how artists like The Louvin Brothers, The Everly Brothers, Charlie Rich, Jerry Lee Lewis, Marty Robbins, and Don Williams continue to shape their musical identity. We also talk about life in Nashville, navigating the music business as members of the Bellamy family, and how their goals have evolved over time. Rather than chasing record deals or industry expectations, they've reached a place where they can simply make the music they believe in and let the songs lead the way. Along the way, we discuss memorable collaborations on The Sunshine Shop, including appearances from Tess Frizzell and Riders in the Sky, their songwriting process as brothers, and why they're already looking ahead to the next record while continuing to let this one find its audience. Key Takeaways Jesse and Noah intentionally recorded The Sunshine Shop with their touring band to preserve the chemistry and feel they had already developed on stage. Family harmony comes naturally, but years of performing together refine phrasing, blend, and musical instincts. Their influences stretch well beyond traditional country, drawing from soul, gospel, classic rock, and artists like Charlie Rich, Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis Presley, Marty Robbins, and Don Williams. Nashville—and the music industry itself—has changed dramatically since they arrived, leading them to focus more on artistic independence than industry expectations. Collaborations with Tess Frizzell and Riders in the Sky grew out of genuine relationships and mutual respect for country music traditions. Rather than scheduling formal co-writing sessions, both brothers write independently and allow the strongest songs to emerge naturally. They're already preparing material for their next album while continuing to refine older songs through live performance. Music from the Episode I Told a Lie — Jesse & Noah BellamyAbout the PodcastThe Bandwich Tapes is a podcast where I sit down with musicians, composers, producers, and artists to explore the stories behind the music. Rather than focusing solely on career highlights, these conversations delve into creativity, collaboration, musicianship, songwriting, recording, performance, and the experiences that shape an artist's musical life.Connect with the ShowEmail: contact@thebandwichtapes.com

In Part 2 of Music's Great Conspiracy, we dive deep into the strangest, most persistent theories surrounding legendary artists and the forces some believe control the music industry. From claims that Jim Morrison, Elvis Presley, Tupac Shakur, and Michael Jackson faked their deaths, to musicians who are convinced UFOs are real...and that governments are covering it all up. Myth, mistrust, and misinformation take hold. Oh...did we mention some musicians might have been replaced by replicants? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
So back in the day you could see vintage entertainers such as Dean Martin, Jackie Mason, Ed Sullivan, Glen Campbell, Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra. Or you could just see John Byner and he would cover them all with spot-on impressions, combined with fine stand-up comedy. When young John offered up his version of Bing Crosby singing "Accentuate the Positive" at age 6 his path in life was clear. As an adult, his early gigs were supported by a day job at a swimming pool company but he soon found fans and became a regular opening act for jazz artists in NY and DC. Along with his nightclub work John was a sought after guest star on sitcom and talk/variety shows, landed a recurring role on Soap, and starred in a popular Canadian tv sketch show. Now 88, John maintains a fun website with highlights from his long career. As always, find extra clips below and thanks for sharing our shows! Want more John Byner? Here's a nice slice of John's stand-up from the Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour back in 1970. https://youtu.be/Ej3pZWwxTfE?si=pPcGXGTkipGK8nJx Byner was a favorite of Ed Sullivan and the feeling was mutual -- watch John imitate the master himself. https://youtu.be/hzE97Bov1kk?si=_uD12rTtzqFhzEkP An unusual project, The Ant and the Aardvark had 17 theatrical short episodes, and featured Byner voicing both characters -- using Dean Martin for the Ant and Jackie Mason for the Aardvark.https://youtu.be/lVXoXlqqxuk?si=4gp349eO7Chck0uE In 2020 John published an autobiography ("Five Minutes Mr. Byner") that covers his career, his favorite impersonation subjects, and how he approaches his craft. https://youtu.be/6CwKq6I-oZI?si=U4n_nuUMF59dBb_I

Tesla guitarist Dave Rude joins RadioBypass to discuss the band's new album, Homage, and the Return of the Carnival of Sins Tour with Mötley Crüe and Extreme.Homage finds Tesla putting their own unmistakable stamp on songs originally recorded by a remarkably diverse group of artists, including Sam Cooke, Queen, The Temptations, Bob Seger, Elvis Presley, Badfinger, James Brown, Supertramp, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Etta James and Hank Williams Sr. The album also includes the brand-new Tesla original “Never Alone” and a new 2026 version of “I Love You.”During our conversation, Dave discusses how the songs were chosen, how Tesla balanced respecting the original recordings with making each track their own, and how Homage compares with the band's 2007 two-volume covers project, Real to Reel. That album was especially significant for Dave because it was his first recording project after joining Tesla in 2006.We also talk about the musical variety represented throughout Homage, and Tesla's summer run on the Return of the Carnival of Sins Tour with Mötley Crüe and Extreme.At the end of the interview, Dave personally selects a song from Homage for us to play.RadioBypass – celebrating rock past, present and future while delivering Rock and Roll music that DESERVES to be heard.Homage Track ListNever AloneBring It On HomeSpread Your WingsI Wish It Would RainNight MovesIf I Can DreamCome And Get ItI Got YouGive A Little BitI Love You (2026 Version)The Ballad Of Curtis LoewHave You Ever Seen The RainI'd Rather Go BlindMind Your Own Business

From the wholesome charm of Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello to the cultural phenomenon of Gidget and the romantic drama of A Summer Place, we're exploring the films that made surf, sand, sunshine, slapstick comedy, and catchy music the ultimate recipe for fun. Along the way, we'll revisit the stars, the songs, and the stories behind the genre, highlighting the movies that captured the carefree spirit of an unforgettable era. Grab your sunscreen, wax up your surfboard, and join us for a nostalgic trip back to Hollywood's beach party heyday!

On today's show, we honor the late, great Mark James. He was one of America's great songwriters with Suspicious Minds, Hooked on a Feeling and Always on My Mind. Most people hear Suspicious Minds and think of Elvis Presley. I hear something much deeper. I hear songwriter Mark James describing one of the greatest destroyers of significance: the absence of trust. "We're caught in a trap. I can't walk out because I love you too much, baby..." Those lyrics aren't about romance as much as they're about relationships of every kind. Marriages. Friendships. Business partnerships. Families. Communities. Even our relationship with ourselves. When trust disappears, everyone becomes a detective. Every text is analyzed.Every silence becomes suspicious.Every delay has a hidden meaning.Every conversation feels like a courtroom instead of a kitchen table. It's exhausting. Significance Is Built on Trust Over the past 4,100 conversations on Success Made to Last and Truly Significant, I've noticed something remarkable. The people who become truly significant don't necessarily have the highest IQ, the biggest platform, or the most impressive résumé. They become significant because people trust them. Trust is the invisible currency of every meaningful life. It is earned one promise at a time. One conversation at a time. One act of integrity at a time.When trust grows, dreams grow. Great Communication Builds Great Dreams Mark James wrote: "Why can't you see what you're doing to me?" How many dreams have died because no one was willing—or able—to have one honest conversation? Great communication isn't about winning an argument. It's about understanding another heart. Trust me, the strongest marriages aren't built by people who never disagree. Neither are the strongest companies. They aren't built by leaders who never make mistakes. The deepest friendships aren't built by people who always get it right. They're built by people who keep talking. Who keep listening. Who choose curiosity over assumption. Who ask before accusing. Communication is the bridge that carries trust from one heart to another.Don't Let Old Friends Become Strangers One lyric has always stopped me in my tracks: "Would I still see suspicion in your eyes?" How tragic when someone who once knew your heart begins to question your motives. Old friends are one of life's greatest treasures. They remember who you were before success. They celebrate you without needing anything in return. They know your stories, your scars, your victories, and your dreams. Don't let distance, busyness, or misunderstanding quietly erase decades of friendship. Call someone. Write the note. Take the trip. Relationships rarely end because of one dramatic moment. More often, they slowly drift apart through neglect.Crying and Trying One of my favorite lines in the song is beautifully simple: "We've got to let our love survive... or dry the tears from your eyes." Life will give us plenty of reasons to cry. Dreams sometimes disappoint. People misunderstand us. Trust gets broken. Words hurt, but significance isn't found in pretending life is easy. It's found in crying... and then trying again. Trying to forgive. Trying to rebuild. Trying to listen. Trying to believe the best. Trying to become the kind of person others can trust. stronger?Significance isn't built by perfect people. It's built by trustworthy people. And trust doesn't begin with them. It begins with us. Here's to fewer suspicious minds… ...and more significant lives.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/success-made-to-last-legends--4302039/support.

It stayed at #1 for 7 weeks and topped the country and western charts for an amazing 17 weeks. Sci-Fi fans in February 1956 went to the newsstands and paid 35 cents for Fantastic Universe magazine which included today's story on page 54, Passage to Anywhere by Sam Merwin Jr.… Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, A desperate refugee believes safety waits beyond the mountains, but each mile strips away another piece of the civilized man he once knew.

Part One- We preview the 2026 summer season of the Racine Concert (its 104th season) with Mark Eichner, who has just begun his 25th season as the group's music director and conductor. This summer, the group will be performing concerts for the next four Sunday evenings at the Racine Zoo - which will be followed by one week off and then two Sunday evening concerts on the grounds of the DeKoven Center. Part Two- From the archives- Steve Binder, who was the director/producer for Elvis Presley's famous comeback concert in 1968.
"To croon", en inglés, es canturrear. Cantar a media voz, casi murmurando, como una madre que duerme a un niño. Viene del escocés y emparenta con el holandés medieval "kronen": gemir en voz baja. Es decir: el crooner no canta para un teatro, canta para una sola persona. El amigo secreto versiona al Elvis Presley más íntimo.
Las versiones musicales del amigo secreto de Javier del Pino y (un poco menos) de Rafa Panadero.

Welcome to my Chapter 12 RECAP of 1997's "Child Bride" by Suzanne Finstad called "A Question of Virginity" In this episode we find out about one of Elvis Presley's most important stipulations for a future wife - and we will examine whether or not Priscilla measured up to his "standards" - in her real life and actions or was it just Elvis' perceived romantic perception of her?

I want to start with a red pen. In August of 1977, a volunteer astronomer named Jerry Ehman sat reviewing computer printouts from a radio telescope in Ohio called Big Ear. The telescope had been listening to the sky and printing what it heard as columns of numbers and letters, and most of every page was the quiet hiss of the galaxy. Then Ehman's eye caught a vertical run of six characters, seventy-two seconds of signal at more than thirty times the background of the universe: 6EQUJ5. He circled the sequence in red and wrote one word in the margin. Wow! The signal never repeated. The day after it reached Ohio, Elvis Presley was found unresponsive at Graceland, and the country turned to a different grief. Four days after that, a Titan rocket stood on a Florida launch pad carrying a machine named Voyager, and bolted to its side was a gold-plated phonograph record.
What if Elvis Presley had a secret son? That's the fascinating premise behind The Prince of Memphis, the latest novel from author Joseph Coulson. In this episode, Joseph joins me to discuss the inspiration behind the book, creating the unforgettable characters of Aron Beale and Odelia, the real song "Midnight Candy," Elvis's enduring legacy, and why this story explores far more than rock 'n' roll—touching on identity, race, love, memory, and the myths that shape our lives.The Prince of Memphis will be available for pre-orders starting August 1, 2026 through the publishing date of September 15, 2026. Visit JosephCoulson.com or DreamFieldPress.com for updates and information.Listen to "Midnight Candy"----------
We're joined by Detroit music scene fixture and all-around groovy guy Scotty Hagen to dive into one of our favorite Weird Al originals, "Velvet Elvis." We talk about how Al perfectly captures the sound of The Police while spinning an earnest story about a guy who's completely devoted to a velvet painting of Elvis Presley. Along the way, we explore why style parodies became such an important part of Al's catalog, what makes kitsch culture so enduring, and why this delightfully ridiculous song works as well as it does.We also discuss the phenomenon of velvet Elvis paintings, the psychology of collecting, and the stories we attach to the things we treasure. From favorite lyrics and musical deep dives to nostalgia, fandom, and whether Weird Al collectors are really all that different from the song's narrator, this episode celebrates one of Even Worse's most overlooked gems with plenty of laughs along the way.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/beer-d-al-podcast--5439475/support.

Dave first stepped onto the mat in 1967 at just eight years old, beginning his training in Judo before finding his true home in Kenpo Karate under the instruction of Paul Dye. What makes his story especially unique is his unwavering loyalty to his teacher. From his first day of Kenpo training in 1972 through every rank advancement, including testing for both brown belt and black belt under the legendary Ed Parker, Paul Dye has remained his only instructor. When Dave Hebler’s school closed due to Hebler’s growing responsibilities as a personal bodyguard for Elvis Presley, training continued in Paul Dye’s now-famous garage dojo. That humble training space became the foundation for a remarkable martial arts career that continues to this day. As a competitor, Dave built an impressive tournament résumé, capturing eight consecutive Long Beach Internationals Self-Defense Championships, earning multiple national titles, and winning championships in the United Kingdom in fighting, kata, and self-defense competition. In 1986, he began teaching out of his own garage dojo, where he has spent decades developing students and preserving the traditions of Kenpo Karate. His commitment to quality instruction has produced numerous black belts and positively impacted generations of martial artists. Beyond the dojo, Dave built successful careers as a butcher, meat manager, and later as a safety consultant in the offshore oil industry. He is also a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather whose life has been guided by faith, family, and martial arts. When he’s not teaching or working, he enjoys spending time with his family at their river house along the Colorado River. Whether boating, riding Sea-Doos, exploring the desert in a sandrail or his trusty 1999 Toyota 4Runner, fishing, or simply gathering around a late-night fire pit, the river is where family and relaxation come together. More than fifty years after beginning his journey, Dave continues to train, teach, and inspire others while carrying forward the lessons passed down from his instructor and the legacy of Ed Parker’s Kenpo Karate. Please join me in welcoming Dave Thompson. Hot Boyz (1999) Full Movie
There are normal radio shows... and then there's whatever happened today.This daily comedy episode kicks off with a passionate (and surprisingly heated) debate over the greatest American bands of all time. Aerosmith? Metallica? The Beach Boys? Pearl Jam? Eagles? Somebody is wrong, somebody gets roasted, and nobody leaves happy.Then Kenny Chesney somehow steals the spotlight before he even performs. Between Shirt Nation jokes, concert cancellations, and rumors surrounding Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's possible wedding, the crew has plenty to say—and almost none of it is nice.Kate Beckinsale reminds everyone that grief doesn't always look the same after revealing that coping with personal tragedy involved prank calls and mooning people from a hotel window. Naturally, the gang spends far too long discussing whether society unfairly abandoned the fine art of mooning sometime after Y2K.Speaking of questionable history... conspiracy theorists are convinced someone attended Elvis Presley's final concert with an iPhone decades before smartphones existed. Is it proof of time travel? An old camera? A vape? The Rizz Show investigates with the scientific rigor you'd expect from people arguing about Don Henley's FBI search history five minutes earlier.The celebrity gossip keeps rolling with Noah Kahan begging concertgoers to stop leaving surprises on venue floors, Alan Jackson's emotional farewell concert, Bill Maher's Mark Twain Prize, Mel Brooks turning 100, and a surprisingly heartfelt conversation about legendary supergroups that disappeared way too soon.Somewhere in the middle, Riz announces a concert he'll absolutely attend, the crew argues over Taylor Swift's rumored wedding location, Kenny Chesney gets called out for canceling shows, and everyone discovers there are apparently multiple ways to accidentally become internet-famous.It's another chaotic ride packed with celebrity news, weird news, music debates, conspiracy theories, sarcastic humor, and the completely unnecessary confidence that only The Rizzuto Show can deliver.If you enjoy ridiculous conversations that somehow bounce from classic rock to celebrity gossip to time-traveling Elvis without ever touching the brakes, congratulations—you've found your people.This daily comedy episode delivers everything you'd expect from The Rizzuto Show: laughs, debates, pop culture commentary, questionable life advice, and absolutely zero guarantees that any topic will stay on track for more than two minutes.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A grieving farmer's seance vow and a healer's vision of buried iron built the world's only school for talking to the dead — and left the town of Whitewater steeped in legends of witches, haunted cemeteries, and things that crawl out of the lake.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/HauntedWhitewaterREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/WD20260626B-HauntedWhitewater-transcript.txtFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Whitewater legend says that the bizarre experiments conducted at the Morris Pratt Institute of Spiritualism in Wisconsin, to communicate with the dead, have left the town cursed by witches and haunted by restless spirits. It's no wonder it has garnered the nickname of “Second Salem.” (Whitewater: The Second Salem) *** The Wild West had many drifters with troubled pasts. One found himself at the heart of one of the most infamous crimes in American history. Ben Kuhl went from horse theft, to stagecoach robbery, to murder – from notoriety to infamy – all in pursuit of elusive riches. Finally arrested and convicted due to a bloody handprint (The Last Stagecoach Robbery) *** Fred West was just a regular boy, or so it seemed. But behind closed doors, in reality, he was becoming evil incarnate. And upon meeting his future wife Rose, it only expanded his predatory predilections. Fred and Rose descended from petty crimes to unspeakable horrors of rape and murder – even of the most young and innocent. From their "House of Horrors" the depths of their depravity was acted out — hidden from site. But as the walls closed in and the truth emerged, the true horror of their crimes was laid bare.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: April 16, 2024This episode of Weird Darkness travels from a Wisconsin school built to teach the living how to speak with the dead, through the cellar of one of Britain's most notorious murder houses, to the last stagecoach robbery in American history and a gallery of history's most ravenous eaters.It opens in Whitewater, Wisconsin, where farmer Morris Pratt vowed during an 1880s seance to build a temple to the spirit world if he ever grew rich. A trance medium named Mary Hayes-Chynoweth steered him toward a barren tract on Michigan's Upper Peninsula that turned out to sit atop the Gogebic iron range, and the fortune that followed funded the Morris Pratt Institute, the world's only school dedicated to spiritualism, which locals nicknamed the "Spook Temple." Students studied clairvoyance, levitation, and psychic surgery in a three-story building whose white-painted top floor was closed to non-believers, and even agnostic Chicago attorney Clarence Darrow left it admitting he was mystified. The school later relocated to Milwaukee and still operates, but Whitewater kept its reputation, earning the name "Second Salem" for its tales of the axe-murdering witch Mary Worth in Oak Grove Cemetery, the inward-pointing spikes on the Starin Park water tower, the haunted Witches Triangle formed by its three cemeteries, and a tentacled creature said to have overturned a fishing boat on Whitewater Lake in 1923.From there the episode moves to Gloucester, England, and the crimes of Fred and Rose West, who tortured, raped, and murdered young women and girls across roughly two decades. Fred, born in 1941 and shaped in part by head injuries from a teenage motorcycle crash, killed his pregnant lover Anna McFall in 1967 and removed her fingers and toes, a mutilation he repeated on later victims including his first wife Rena Costello and his own daughter Heather. He and Rose buried nine victims beneath 25 Cromwell Street, the address the press called the "House of Horrors," and added Heather to the back garden. Detective Constable Hazel Savage's investigation finally exposed them; Fred hanged himself in his cell on January 1, 1995, and Rose was convicted of ten murders that November and handed a whole life order.Next the show heads to the snowbound mountains around Jarbidge, Nevada, where on December 5, 1916, drifter Ben Kuhl ambushed the Rogerson-Jarbidge mail stage, shot driver Fred Searcy in the back of the head with a .44 revolver, and made off with a mailbag holding four thousand dollars in cash. A stray dog led searchers to the buried money, and Kuhl's ivory-handled pistol marked him as a suspect, but the conviction turned on a bloody palm print found on an envelope from the coach, the first time such forensic evidence sent a man to prison for murder in the United States. Kuhl drew a death sentence later commuted to life, served nearly twenty-eight years, and died of tuberculosis in San Francisco in 1946 without ever revealing where the loot was hidden.The episode closes with a parade of history's most extreme eaters, from Georgian London's Edward Dando, who downed hundreds of oysters at a sitting and walked out without paying until cholera killed him in prison in 1832, to seventeenth-century Kentishman Nicholas Wood, who ate raw sheep wool and horns included. It runs through Roman emperor Vitellius, who vomited between courses to keep feasting and invented a dish of flamingo tongues and lamprey entrails; the corpulent King George IV, lampooned as the "Prince of Whales"; the geologist William Buckland, who tasted moles, panthers, and a preserved fragment of a king's heart; and Elvis Presley and his pound-of-bacon Fool's Gold Sandwich. It ends with the most disturbing case of all, the eighteenth-century Frenchman Tarrare, whose bottomless hunger drove him to eat stones, live animals, and raw offal, and who was expelled from a hospital after he was suspected of devouring a fourteen-month-old child.
In the latest, absolutely unmissable episode of the We Think It's Funny podcast, regular co-host Danny Lobell is joined by stand-up comedian Alan Bursky, who does a fantastic job filling in for Mark Schiff. Together, they sit down with the legendary 95-year-old comedy writer and actor, Rudy DeLuca, for a wildly entertaining, fast-paced history lesson. DeLuca dives deep into his incredible career, sharing rare behind-the-scenes memories of co-writing classic Mel Brooks films like High Anxiety and Dracula: Dead and Loving It, including what it was really like working alongside the great Leslie Nielsen. The trio takes listeners back to Rudy's early childhood roots in the Bronx, mapping out exactly how he broke into the entertainment industry and eventually found himself hanging out with icons like Elvis Presley and Sammy Shore. Things get hilarious and brilliantly nostalgic when Rudy and Alan look back on their own 50-plus year friendship, reminiscing about the historic 1972 opening night of The Comedy Store and the unforgettable time Rudy actually threw a young Alan out of the venue. From the infamous Comedy Store strike and Mitzi Shore stories to irreplaceable life advice from a man who has seen it all, this episode acts as a masterclass in Hollywood history. Packed with authentic laughs and spectacular storytelling, it is a must-watch for anyone who loves the golden era of comedy.
The Crappiest Business Advice You Will Ever HEAR Stop trying to be everywhere online. Success isn't about posting on every platform, it's about creating real value and putting it in front of the right people. Elvis Presley didn't use social media, yet his music spread worldwide because it was unique and in demand. Even Pat Flynn once promoted "be everywhere," which many of us bought into, but it often leads to burnout and distraction. The truth is you don't need maximum visibility, just the right visibility in the right places. Build something worth talking about, then let it spread. #Business #Entrepreneurship #Marketing #Mindset #JoinUpDots #SimpleBusiness #Focus
Rock and roll has always had a shadow side, and Richard Syrett joins Jim to explore some of its strangest stories from his new book, Tales from the Rock and Roll Twilight Zone. From the roots of blues folklore and Robert Johnson's legendary crossroads tale to theories about the Beatles, “Paul is Dead,” and the eerie staying power of rock's greatest mysteries, Richard looks at why music history seems to attract so many strange rumors, unsettling coincidences, and unanswered questions. Jim and Richard also dig into the 27 Club, the tragic plane crash that changed Lynyrd Skynyrd forever, the mysteries surrounding Elvis Presley's final days, and the suspicious circumstances some have associated with the death of Rolling Stones founder Brian Jones. It is a wide-ranging conversation about fame, myth, tragedy, conspiracy, and the powerful hold these stories still have on music fans decades later.

Darkness Radio Presents: Disclosure Day Pre-game & The Occult Elvis: The Mystical and Magical Life of the King with Podcaster/Author Miguel Connor!Writer and researcher Miguel Conner reveals how Elvis was a profound mystic, occultist, and shaman. Beginning with the unusual circumstances of his birth—and his stillborn twin brother—Conner traces the diverse thread of mysticism that runs through Elvis Presley's life, drawing on firsthand accounts from the people closest to him, including his wife, Priscilla, the Memphis Mafia, and his spiritual advisors. Conner argues that Elvis was well-versed in the esoteric practices of sex magic, meditation, astrology, and numerology and had a deep familiarity with Kabbalah, Gnosticism, Theosophy, and Eastern traditions. He also reveals how Elvis was a natural healer, telekinetic, psychic, and astral traveler who had significant mystical experiences and UFO encounters. Looking at the conspiratorial and paranormal aspects of Elvis's life, the author explores the "Elvis visitations" that have occurred since the King's death and the general high weirdness of his life. As Conner convincingly argues, Elvis was not just a one-of-a-kind rock-and-roller. He was the greatest magician America ever produced.On Today's Show, we hype you up for tomorrow's big release of the summer blockbuster, Disclosure Day, by interviewing someone who was waiting in line for the screening and getting their thoughts on the movie and the real Disclosure Day!
