Send us a textThis week, we're joined by Marco Grazzini and Adam Fergus, stars of the new Hallmark mystery Haunted Harmony Mysteries: Buried at C, premiering October 12th on Hallmark Mystery.If you're a fan of mysteries with a supernatural twist, you're going to love this conversation. We dive deep into what makes the Haunted Harmony franchise unique in the crowded Hallmark mystery space—from the ghost partner dynamic to the romance triangle that doesn't involve the two lead sleuths (looking at you, every other mystery series).Adam, who's originally from Ireland, shares insider tips about visiting the Emerald Isle, including why you should never order an Irish Car Bomb or a Black and Tan if you actually want to fit in with the locals. He also explains the art of "splitting the G" on your first pint of Guinness—and trust me, it's harder than it sounds.Marco talks about why he keeps returning to Ireland for these films (spoiler: it's not the weather), the challenges of filming 100-page scripts in 10-hour Irish workdays versus the typical Canadian 11-hour schedule, and how cinematographers in Ireland have basically mastered shooting through four seasons in a single take.But the absolute highlight? Marco's confession about cheating on his Grade 12 calculus exam by buying it from a security guard, memorizing answers he didn't understand, and still barely passing with a 95%. It's the kind of story that explains why he's an actor and not a math teacher—despite playing one on screen.We also get into:Whether they actually believe in ghosts (their answers might surprise you)The Jane Seymour garden party story you won't believeWhy Tamara Mowry-Housley's laugh is legendary on setThe mysterious object that gets revealed in Buried at C that had the entire cast cracking upHow Richard Cooper's ghost character brings levity to murder mysteriesThe delicate balance of romance in a series versus one-off rom-comsWhy having the romantic tension outside the main sleuthing duo works so wellBoth Marco and Adam are refreshingly candid about the craft of acting, the joys and challenges of series work versus standalone movies, and what it's like to develop a character over multiple films. Adam's perspective as a local filming in his home country adds a fascinating layer to the conversation, while Marco's outsider enthusiasm for Irish culture is genuinely infectious.If you're a Hallmark mystery fan, this is essential listening before Buried at C premieres. And even if you're just here for behind-the-scenes Hollywood stories and a calculus heist confession, you're in for a treat.Episode Highlights:[03:15] Why Irish people make filming in Ireland worth the weather[08:42] Marco's legendary calculus cheating story[14:28] What makes Tamara Mowry-Housley the heart of the series[18:35] Do they believe in ghosts?

#180 - Have you ever wondered what happens when a deep love for Ireland, masterful storytelling, and biblical foundations merge? That's exactly what unfolds in this captivating conversation with John Leonard, the creative mind behind the Wayfinder series – a fantasy adventure saga that bridges ancient myths with biblical narratives.Growing up in rural Colorado as the eldest of four siblings, John shares how his close relationship with his brother shaped his early years through sports and friendly competition. His journey took a fascinating turn in college when he discovered rugby, serving as team captain for four years at Colorado Mesa University. This passion later connected him deeply to Irish culture when he seized an opportunity to study abroad in Belfast.John's eight-mile walk from Dublin to the Neolithic site of Newgrange became a transformative experience, allowing him to absorb Ireland's countryside in a way impossible from behind a car window. "Walking that road was just something else," he recalls, describing how the sideways rain, winding paths, and ancient hamlets with thatched roofs transported him through time. His vivid descriptions of Irish pub culture – where storytellers gather, musicians spontaneously form bands, and strangers share life stories over shared drinks – reveal how deeply Ireland's storytelling tradition influenced his own writing.The heart of our conversation explores John's Wayfinder series, particularly his first book "Dawn of Destiny." This unique fantasy saga fills the narrative gap between the Tower of Babel and Abraham's story in Genesis, weaving together Mesopotamian, Akkadian, Egyptian, and other Bronze Age cultural myths into a cohesive narrative that respects biblical accounts. Using the rabbinical teaching method of Pardes, John creates stories with multiple levels of meaning – from surface-level adventure to deeper theological symbolism.Whether you're fascinated by ancient mythology, interested in creative approaches to biblical narratives, or simply love a good conversation about the writing journey, John's story will inspire you to see adventure as more than just reaching a destination. As he beautifully puts it: "The adventure is the journey in between...the relationships, the foundational aspects that form who you are along that journey."

More than two decades ago, Ireland radically cut corporate taxes and produced an "economic miracle." Now some say Canada should look to the Emerald Isle and perform a miracle of its own. We find out why some people are learning to love Canadian Gamays and Pinot Noirs. And could a proposed takeover of Teck, one of our last mining giants, be a test of the country's newfound economic nationalism?

Autumnal weather brings squalls, color, fish, and bears to Alaska's Emerald Isle. Life on Kodiak!

In 1940s Italy, a desperate mother believed that turning three women into soap and tea cakes would save her son from dying in World War II.HOUR ONE: "It was a terrible sight… I have seen horrible sights, but never anything like this.” Those were the words of the local undertaker after seeing the results of a triple murder laying before him in 1932 Pennsylvania. (The Axe Murders of Lykens) *** A gypsy once told Leonarda that all of her children would die before her.  A different fortuneteller  told her that she faced either a future in prison or in a criminal asylum. And the reason she gave for becoming a serial killer is something you'd hear out of a bad direct-to-video horror film. And that's a tiny sample of this woman's insanely dark life – which began even before her birth. (The Woman Who Made Soap) *** Ireland's Loftus Hall is considered by many to be the most haunted location on all the Emerald Isle. But the most infamous story of Loftus Hall begins not with terror, but with romance… with a beautiful young girl falling madly in love with… the devil. (The Girl Who Fell In Love With The Devil) ==========HOUR TWO: 7-year-old Maria went missing in 1957, and while her body was later found, her murder was never solved and the case went cold – until 50 years later when the case was finally solved and closed. But it turns out everybody was wrong. (A Cold Case Finally Solved… Then Unsolved) *** If you take State Route 375 through Nevada you will pass by the infamous Area-51. But of course they are not going to let you in, even if you ask nicely. But State Route 375 isn't called the Extraterrestrial Highway just because of one area you can't visit – there's a lot more to it than that. (The 98-Mile Extraterrestrial Highway) *** Hikers sometimes get lost in the woods, as do children of course. But those on bikes almost never disappear; but there is one tragic case of a fat tire rider who couldn't be found. (The Vanished Mountain Biker) *** In 1910 two witnesses see a pair of lights that transform into radiant beings with “human form.” You might dismiss the report as misidentification of ball lightning or some other natural explanation – but in 1952 those radiant humanoid beings of light were seen again! (Close Encounters of the Fairy Kind)==========SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: More of the story of Ireland's Loftus Hall and the young girl who fell in love with the devil! (The Girl Who Fell In Love With The Devil) *** Chlorosis was a frequently diagnosed disease during the 19th century that gave the skin of the afflicted a greenish tinge. As a cure, doctors told young women to get married and reproduce. As you can probably surmise, the cure was not in the least bit effective. (The Girls Who Turned Green) *** Have you heard of the poor girl who was bullied and pushed down into a sewer by those whom she thought were her friends? I'll tell you the story. And while this episode is not a creepypasta episode, so all the stories are supposed to be non-fiction, that is… true, I will be sharing this urban legend anyway – because when it comes to urban legends, sometimes it's best to err on the side of caution and simply assume they are true. (The Urban Legend of Carmen Winstead) *** Weirdo Family member Brad Hicks describes the experience as “cool… and creepy as hell”. We'll tell you his story. (The Thing In The Light) *** More of the story of Ireland's Loftus Hall and the young girl who fell in love with the devil!

It's Part 2....so if you haven't already go back and listen to part 1 first. Think you can just raw dog it without having any of Ireland's backstory, think again. We pick back up at a major event in Irish history, The Blight, or as most of us know it The Great Irish Potato Famine. Ireland is hurting and the people in charge, currently the English, aren't doing a whole lot to help. This combined with a whole list of issues with English rule (discussed in part 1) most of the inhabitants of the Emerald Isle have had enough. What follows is the story of Ireland's fight for independence, the individuals who rose as leaders of the movement, and the 'Troubles' experienced while battling for freedom. Support the show

Ireland. A country with a history almost as rich as the country is beautiful. A country that despite its proximity to mainland Europe seemed to avoid little things like invasion by the Roman Empire. Tracing its first people's back 10,000 years ago,  they began building stone monuments and elaborate burial tombs around 6500, and around 2500 years ago the Celts began to arrive. The Celtic tribes divided the island into different kingdoms spreading their culture and language. Fast forward to the 5th century and you get St. Patrick and the Catholics came in doing what they do and later came the Vikings. They liked what Ireland had going for it and established quite a few settlements deciding to make the Emerald Isle home, lending their culture to its history as well. There's so much more to The Land of Saints and Scholars, you'll just have to listen to find out, Welcome to Ireland....Part 1. Support the show

Beaver Island: A Journey Through Time and Tyranny in Lake Michigan Welcome to Beaver Island, often called "America's Emerald Isle," a fascinating gem in Lake Michigan with a history as rich and diverse as its landscape. If you've ever wondered about year-round island life, a unique Mormon kingdom, or the rise of an Irish community, you're in the right place! Island Life: Year-Round Charm and Seasonal Bustle Beaver Island is unique as the only island in Lake Michigan with a year-round population. While around 600-800 people call it home in the winter, the population swells to 3,000-4,000 during the summer months. Access to the island is primarily by private boat or air service, as ferries only run until mid-December. The main community, St. James, named after James Jesse Strang himself, is where most businesses are concentrated, including the year-round community center, taverns like the Shamrock bar and restaurant, a motel, and a hardware store that also houses a gift shop and vet clinic. Many other businesses, like some restaurants and a bicycle/boat rental shop, are open only in the summer. Historically, the island's economy relied heavily on commercial fishing, with fish being salted or iced down and sent via ferry to Charlevoix for further rail transport to cities like Indianapolis or Chicago. Hotels also played a main role in the economy for many years. Unforgettable Reign of King Strang A significant chapter in Beaver Island's history revolves around James Jesse Strang, a controversial figure who established a Mormon colony here. Strang arrived on the island around 1847-1848, with his colony reaching approximately 1,500 people by the time of his death in 1856. Strang was an ambitious leader, and his people surveyed Beaver Island for the first time in 1848. He named the town of St. James after himself and began building a highway, the King's Highway, also named after himself. His colony was so established that they even had a daily newspaper, the only one north of Grand Rapids at the time. However, Strang's rule was often described as tyrannical by the tour guide. He quickly made enemies with his policies: He mandated that anyone wishing to stay on the island had to become a Mormon or pay him a tax or leave. This drove many people off the island, though some reluctantly converted because they had nowhere else to go. He authorized his followers to steal fish from other fishermen's nets and even take items from the homes of fishermen who were out at sea, according to the guide. Initially, Strang was against plural marriages, but a couple of years after arriving, he embraced polygamy, taking four more wives after his first wife, Mary, left him and returned to Wisconsin. He was also known for peculiar practices, such as having his people build a dock just a few inches under the water in Font Lake (named for baptismal font) so he could appear to be "walking on water" when baptizing his followers. Strang also left a lasting mark on the island's geography by naming several places with biblical references. Examples include: Font Lake, where baptisms took place. Mount Pisgah, a hill named after the biblical Mount Pisgah from which Jesus preached. It became a popular spot for people to climb. A lake on the south side of the island was called Lake Jaz or Lake Galilee, corresponding to the Sea of Galilee in the Holy Land. Interestingly, Strang was a well-educated man who passed the Michigan bar exam and could practice law. This legal expertise proved useful,

We are in the Emerald Isle and Ireland seems to be winning the very competitive race to be nominated the most anti-semitic country in Europe. It's not even safe to go to an Irish pub or get a bus without being attacked for being Jewish. We bring you the video of the latest attack. And as anti-semitism runs riot, what does the parliament focus on -  trying to get a law passed that singles out jews for economic boycott in Europe, for the first time since the Nazis. Watch our show to find out how.With the increase of anti-semitism and victim-blaming of Israel around the world, we are determined to bring our play OCTOBER 7: IN THEIR WORDS, everywhere we can. Please go to October7theplay.com (linked below) and give what you can. And we interviewed Dr. Joe Rigney about his latest book THE SIN OF EMPATHY. Watch this week's episode to find out just how destructive it is to “help” someone without tethering yourself to a biblical rationale. And Abuela Smollett - how one enterprising Grandmother used liberal hysteria over immigration raids to fraudulently raise a nice sum of money. We bring you every hilarious detail on how the great escape led to the great capture.And a feature I have been noticing recently - how the leftist media have been using problem/advice pages to push a leftist agenda. They never sleep and neither should we. Watch how Dear Abby's Irish equivalent just becomes Dear Liberal.And we had an enormous response to last week's show which featured the Federal Trade Commission workshop on the evils and illegality of the Transgender movement.

Is the purpose of society to protect innocent life? Today, we talk about how medical field has begun to embrace some of the most dangerous ideologies, including euthanasia. What happened to "Do no harm?" We have a just been on quite the bit of travel, some of it on the truly appalling government-run train system.

It features a lying criminal fantasist, but Fox knew that when he started filming. Now she has emerged as an anti-semite. What will Fox, who is Jewish, do now? And why hasn't he released the film that he crowdfunded for?

Send us a textWelcome, everyone, to a special bonus edition of the Cops and Writers Podcast. A few weeks back, it was my pleasure to be a guest on the Ireland Crimes and Mysteries Podcast hosted by the wonderful Nules Ní Chleirigh. Being a child of two Irish immigrants, I jumped at the opportunity to be on her show. Her podcast is recorded over in the Emerald Isle in County Tipperary. I had so much fun talking to her about American policing and the differences between how we do things here in the US and how it is done over in Ireland. Please enjoy my conversation with the most wonderful Nules on the Ireland Crimes and Mysteries Podcast. Check out the Ireland Crimes and Mysteries Podcast website! Check out the new Cops and Writers YouTube channel!Check out my newest book, The Good Collar (Michael Quinn Vigilante Justice Series Book 1)!!!!!Enjoy the Cops and Writers book series.Please visit the Cops and Writers website.What would you do if you lost the one you loved the most?

Hello!In today's episode with have an Interview with Dr Christina Wade, author of the newly release book "Filthy Queens - A History of Beer in Ireland."Irish stories, myths and legends are full of spirits and ghosts. The history of beer in Ireland is no different; many of these shadowy echoes are still reverberating in the modern brewing history. Beer and ale can bring us together, and importantly understand the past, our past, better, as well as bring us closer to our ancestors, who also drunk beer. And they did so to celebrate, commiserate and of course to socialise with friends and family just as we do.But beer has a secret. For centuries, women brewers remained key participants in the beer trade, up to the Industrial Revolution when increased mechanisation, alongside Victorian societal constraints, conspired to push a lot of them out. This was true in England, and many other places and it is no different for Ireland. Saints, nuns, wives, queens; the stories of Irish women and ale are countless.Join me today as I talk with Dr Christina Wade about her latest book Filthy Queens A History of Beer in Ireland, to find out more of the amazing history of women brewers of the Emerald Isle!You can buy the book here:https://ninebeanrowsbooks.com/en-gb/products/filthy-queensand Dr Wades substack: https://substack.com/home/post/p-151378197This week's recommendations:Musician and poet of ancient music Bettina Joy De Guzman:https://www.bettinajoydeguzman.com/https://www.youtube.com/@bettinajoydeguzman1981The Ancient Crops We've Forgotten How to Grow:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjFT4PC8YIQ&t=3sJonny Garrett:https://www.goodbeerhunting.com/authors/jonny-garretthttps://www.waterstones.com/book/the-meaning-of-beer/jonny-garrett/9781838959944Enjoy!Much love,Thom & The Delicious LegacySupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-delicious-legacy.

Happy week of St. Patrick's Day! We have a full show coming up with lots of news coming out of Ireland - most of it not good. And we bring you the latest on our friend, the writer and broadcaster Mark Steyn who has SLAPPed back against the climate fraudster Michael Mann. And more climate hypocrisy as we reveal how alleged tree huggers are destroying the rainforest to have a conference to tell US how we shouldn't destroy the rainforest.And speaking of hypocrites we reveal how Stephen Colbert is the biggest late night Tesla/Elon Musk hypocrite of them all. Also, the anti semitism never stops in the Emerald Isle. It certainly is not Ireland of the welcomes with Israelis being spat on in bars and being pro-Israel student is now a punishable offence in Irish universities, like in the case of a Dublin University student who was ousted as chair of his debate society.And the plans to deport Hamas-loving Mahmoud Khalil may be stalling. We look at whether it is a free speech issue that means he is protected. Our conclusions may surprise you.Don't forget to subscribe and leave a comment.

Bible Reading: Luke 9:18-20"Ow!" yelped Avery. "Quit pinching me, Levi!" "It's St. Patrick's Day, and you're not wearing green," said Levi. "That means you get pinched!" "I am wearing green!" Avery insisted. "My shirt is green. You just can't see it because my sweater is covering it up." She turned to her mother. "Mom, why do people wear green on St. Patrick's Day?" "It's because he was from Ireland, the Emerald Isle," said Levi. "And St. Patrick found a four-leaf clover, which was green, and he drove all the snakes out of Ireland and--" "Hold on, Levi," said Mom. "Patrick actually grew up in England but was captured by Irish raiders as a teenager. He was a prisoner for several years and became a Christian during that time. When he finally escaped, he returned to England, but eventually went back to Ireland to tell people about Jesus." "But what about the stories of him finding four-leaf clovers and driving snakes out of Ireland?" asked Levi."Those are fables, though I've read that he used a three-leaf clover to help people understand the Trinity," said Mom. "Just because you hear people say things doesn't mean they're true. The truth often gets covered up by what people want to believe.""Like how Avery's sweater is hiding her green shirt?" asked Levi.Mom nodded. "It's not just St. Patrick's story that people get wrong. A lot of people believe wrong things about Jesus too. They think He was just a good man who was killed for standing up for what He believed, but that's not true at all. He was and is God, and He died to take the punishment for our sins and then rose again to give us eternal life. That's what the Bible tells us, and it's the truth." "And that's what Patrick went to tell the people in Ireland, right?" asked Levi. "Yes," said Mom. "He didn't go back to the land where he was held captive to tell people about a good man. He went back to tell them about the loving God who became human and died so they could be forgiven--and who helped Patrick forgive those who wronged him so they could know the truth. That's the true story of St. Patrick's day." –Jennifer Quakenbush How About You?What have you heard people say about Jesus? That He was just a good man? Or that He is God's Son who died on the cross for your sins? The Bible tells the true story. Jesus is God, and He loves you so much that He died and rose again to take away your sin and give you eternal life--and that's the truth!

Hello, listener! What's the craic? We're grand, but seein' as how we've done a few of these country-centric episodes before, we figured it was high time we talked about Ireland. And while neither Joel nor Kent nor Zack have been to The Emerald Isle before, two of them really want to go there one day. And yes, there will be some attempts at Irish (or Oirish) accents as the boys are gabbin' about the pop culture influences of Ireland and givin' answers for such categories as A Fine Irish Film, A Lad You Could Hang Out with at the Pub, Celts in Your Mouth, Quite a Lovely Lass, Top O' the Music Industry, and Wails like a Banshee. And we hope you learn a thing or two as you experience Zack's travel facts about Ireland and multiple Pierce Brosnan references.   Brúigh imirt! (That's Gaelic for "press play!")

HOUR ONE: 7-year-old Maria went missing in 1957, and while her body was later found, her murder was never solved and the case went cold – until 50 years later when the case was finally solved and closed. But it turns out everybody was wrong. (A Cold Case Finally Solved… Then Unsolved) *** If you take State Route 375 through Nevada you will pass by the infamous Area-51. But of course they are not going to let you in, even if you ask nicely. But State Route 375 isn't called the Extraterrestrial Highway just because of one area you can't visit – there's a lot more to it than that. (The 98-Mile Extraterrestrial Highway) *** Hikers sometimes get lost in the woods, as do children of course. But those on bikes almost never disappear; but there is one tragic case of a fat tire rider who couldn't be found. (The Vanished Mountain Biker) *** In 1910 two witnesses see a pair of lights that transform into radiant beings with “human form.” You might dismiss the report as misidentification of ball lightning or some other natural explanation – but in 1952 those radiant humanoid beings of light were seen again! (Close Encounters of the Fairy Kind)==========HOUR TWO: "It was a terrible sight… I have seen horrible sights, but never anything like this.” Those were the words of the local undertaker after seeing the results of a triple murder laying before him in 1932 Pennsylvania. (The Axe Murders of Lykens) *** A gypsy once told Leonarda that all of her children would die before her.  A different fortuneteller  told her that she faced either a future in prison or in a criminal asylum. And the reason she gave for becoming a serial killer is something you'd hear out of a bad direct-to-video horror film. And that's a tiny sample of this woman's insanely dark life – which began even before her birth. (The Woman Who Made Soap) *** Ireland's Loftus Hall is considered by many to be the most haunted location on all the Emerald Isle. But the most infamous story of Loftus Hall begins not with terror, but with romance… with a beautiful young girl falling madly in love with… the devil. (The Girl Who Fell In Love With The Devil) ==========SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: More of the story of Ireland's Loftus Hall and the young girl who fell in love with the devil! (The Girl Who Fell In Love With The Devil) *** Chlorosis was a frequently diagnosed disease during the 19th century that gave the skin of the afflicted a greenish tinge. As a cure, doctors told young women to get married and reproduce. As you can probably surmise, the cure was not in the least bit effective. (The Girls Who Turned Green) *** Have you heard of the poor girl who was bullied and pushed down into a sewer by those whom she thought were her friends? I'll tell you the story. And while this episode is not a creepypasta episode, so all the stories are supposed to be non-fiction, that is… true, I will be sharing this urban legend anyway – because when it comes to urban legends, sometimes it's best to err on the side of caution and simply assume they are true. (The Urban Legend of Carmen Winstead) *** Weirdo Family member Brad Hicks describes the experience as “cool… and creepy as hell”. We'll tell you his story. (The Thing In The Light) *** More of the story of Ireland's Loftus Hall and the young girl who fell in love with the devil!

Dan's first story is  weird. We had a hard time tracking it and understanding it  so if you have trouble too - don't worry. We'll talk afterwards and clear up any confusion. Then, we'll visit what sure seems to be a powerfully and malevolently haunted former seminary room in Maynooth in County Kildare, Ireland. A haunting that reads like the basis for a really good horror movie. Then, Lynze shares an interesting haunted apartment story where a family lives in two separate apartments in the same building that both seem to be plagued by the same "something". What is it? Where does it stem from? Then, lastly, a creepy mimmic tale. Or is it? This weeks entire show is really weird and does not offer a ton of solutions, making it that much scarier.  Bad Magic Holiday Merch: The 2024 Holiday Collection!Take a good look at fan favorite, Ezra Calhoun from The Beast of Bodie, or grab your duffel bag for a stay at the 1987 Shiloh Bible Camp from The Devil's Butcher.
