In this episode of the NVus Alien Podcast, Stephanie and I go down the Human Design rabbit hole. Not just the charts and types, but the apocalyptic prophecies baked into the system itself. We're talking about the strange transmissions of Ra Uru Hu, the originator of Human Design, and his predictions about a genetic shift in 2027 that could birth an entirely new species. Yes, really. The Rave is coming. Allegedly.Why Listen? If you're into esoteric blueprints, future species predictions, and where personal sovereignty meets culty vibes, this episode unpacks it all.

This podcast episode delves into the intriguing historical narrative surrounding C.W. Savage and the storied rivalry between Ohio State and Oberlin College. We explore Savage's multifaceted involvement in football history, particularly his connection to notable figures such as John Heisman, and the contentious outcomes of pivotal games. One such game, played in 1892, saw Oberlin claim a disputed victory over Michigan, which ignited a debate that persists to this day. Additionally, we recount the unfortunate circumstances leading to a staggering defeat of Oberlin by Ohio State, illustrating the unpredictable nature of college football. Through these anecdotes, we gain insight into the rich tapestry of American football history and the enduring legacies of its players and coaches.This information comes from his original post titled: C.

DP & McGhee welcome award-winning filmmaker, Josh Altman to discuss his new docuseries, Earnhardt, on the day the first 2 episodes drop on Amazon Prime Video. Josh talks about Dale Earnhardt's legacy, the participation of Dale's family in the project, and how he approaches his projects. The Sportsbiz Chat gives a very strong endorsement of the project.Before the interview, DP & McGhee talk about how MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred's decision to lift the lifetime ban on Pete Rose and Shoeless Joe Jackson will impact their road to the Baseball Hall of Fame. We'd love to know if you think they deserve enshrinement.The hosts also talk WNBA tip-off, NBA playoff viewership and Tim and David dust off their old corporate finance textbooks to talk about the high valuations for the majority of MLS clubs.

Dr. David Hamilton, retired surgeon and award-winning historian joins us to to discuss his upcoming book The Enigmatic Aviator: Charles Lindbergh Revisited (out May 21, 2025—on the 98th anniversary of Lindbergh's legendary flight to Paris). Dr. Hamilton unveils the lesser-known side of Lindbergh—his pivotal contributions to medical science, organ perfusion technology, and even the design of early centrifuges. We explore Lindbergh's engineering brilliance, his secretive private life, and how his scientific legacy was buried beneath decades of political smears and tabloid noise. From barnstorming to building perfusion pumps, from fighting with the Luftwaffe to shaping the future U.S. Air Force, Lindbergh's life was more complex than the myths suggest. This deep dive is both revelatory and respectful, with stories you've never heard—because until now, no one had dug this deep. Dr. Hamilton at the Smithsonian - Unusual, in that the Spirit of St. Louis was down for cleaning - NOT hanging from the ceiling as it usually is!

The Curmudgeon Supreme and I read David Stevenson's article "James Anderson: Man & Mason" about James Anderson, one of the masons who helped assemble the Constitutions of the Free-Masons of 1723.This article was first published in the Heredom Volume 10, 2002, a research journal put out by the Scottish Rite. For many years, Doctor James Anderson has been accused of many negative reasons for helping to put together what we now know as the Constitutions of the Free-Masons of 1723 & 1738.There is a lot that was going on during that time in and around England. England, Scotland, and Ireland were all fighting against each other, so why did these London Masons choose a short, red-headed Scotsman to help put together one of the most important Masonic documents ever published?The origins of this mysterious Masonic document have been actively researched and analyzed, critiqued, and ignored since it first appeared in 1723, and we still do not fully understand why it was produced in the first place.Brother David Stevenson is the author of both "The Origins of Freemasonry, Scotland's Century 1590-1710" and "The First Freemasons - Scotland's Early Lodges and Their Members 1988.Let us keep exploring the mysterious origins of Masonry and Freemasonry with ruthless abandon.Follow me on:Instagram @masonicmuscleTikTok @masonicmsucle357Write me at masonicmsucle357@gmail.com if you have questions or suggestions for research on the enigmatic and mysterious origins of freemasonry.

The focal point of our discourse revolves around the rather astonishing decision made by the University of Kansas to terminate the employment of its most successful head football coach in history, Dr. A.R. Kennedy. In this episode, we engage with Timothy B. Brown from FootballArchaeology.com, who elucidates the intricate details surrounding this controversial dismissal. Dr. Kennedy, whose tenure yielded a remarkable win-loss record, found himself at the intersection of historical rule changes that mandated coaches to be full-time faculty members, a requirement that ultimately led to his departure. This subject comes from Tim's recent tidbit titled: When Kansas Fired Its Top Coach We delve into the implications of this decision, exploring the paradox of a distinguished coach being excluded from the university's football hall of fame despite his unparalleled achievements. Join us as we reflect on this poignant narrative that highlights the complexities of collegiate sports and the often unforeseen consequences of institutional policies.Join us at the Pigskin Dispatch website and the Sports Jersey Dispatch to see even more Positive football news!

This podcast is powered by LSJS. Visit lsjs.ac.uk/connect to learn about our Jewish learning journeys & find something that suits you.  What's it like to be part of the Jewish community in Hungary? Home to the second largest synagogue in the world yet a hidden Jewish population that no-one can count, how does it function and what will its future be? Jewish educator, historian and tour guide Szonja Komoroczy is Vice Rector at the Jewish University of Budapest and has lectured and published extensively in English, Hungarian, Hebrew, and Yiddish. As an educator, her passion is to tell the story behind the facts, and, as a tour guide, to show the stories behind various layers of a city or region - historical, social, and architectural, alike. Behind the scenes, she's something of an unofficial ambassador of the community. With a PhD and two MA degrees from Oxford and Budapest, Szonja's main field of research and interest is Hungarian Jewish history and cultural history, and she is especially intrigued by issues related to changes in national identity and language choice. I think Szonja's story and that of Hungarian Jewry is not well enough known and I'm really happy for her to share it more widely on this podcast.

Send us a textIn this month's episode, Col Andy Taylor and Rev Paul Roberts take a "deep dive" into a scarce and unusual award for the First World War made only to Territorial soldiers 1914-1919.  They investigate the origins and exacting criteria for this WW1 campaign service medal, common misconceptions and the many anomalies caused by it, along with the character of the men and women who were awarded it.  A fascinating insight into policy of deploying Territorial troops to garrison the British Empire and the willingness of part time soldiers and nurses from Herefordshire - and across the country - to sign up to serve overseas, which they were under no obligation to do under Territorial Force Regulations until May 1916.  One of the illustrations they use is their shared ancestor, Charles Percy Taylor from Ledbury.Paul and Andy discuss research possibilities for the military and family historian alike of this attractive and enigmatic award, by far the scarcest of all First World War service medals.  And how First World War service medals can still be claimed today, over a century later in certain circumstances.For more information about the Operation Blackout - last mission of WW2 - at Hereford Town Hall on 17th May 2025 at 6.30pm, click here:https://herefordshirelightinfantrymuseum.com/events/op-blackout-presentation/Support the showIf you like what you hear, don't forget to like and subscribe to help us reach a wider audience.

Today, Russia's well established secret space program continues development with non-human intelligence and utilizes its enigmatic Psi-Corps to assist in on-planet and off-planet operations. In addition, Russia is collaborating with the US in investigating and exploiting the technologies found in ancient space arks found in our solar system. In his next webinar, Dr Michael Salla will examine the origins, history, and capabilities of Russia's SSP and what it means today for coming events.

During WWII, the Soviet Union learned of the great advances made by Nazi Germany in developing powerful aerospace technologies with the help of extraterrestrials, and how German nationalists and secret societies established a breakaway colony in Antarctica. The Soviets also learned that the Germans had discovered that psychic abilities were a major factor in finding, developing, and using advanced non-human technologies. Consequently, the Soviets began their own highly successful initiative to gain access to non-human technologies, trained a highly developed elite Psychic Corps (aka Psi-Corps), and secretly collaborated with the US in monitoring and countering the threat posed by the Antarctic Germans highly secretive space program.Today, Russia's well established secret space program continues development with non-human intelligence and utilizes its enigmatic Psi-Corps to assist in on-planet and off-planet operations.

As a championship-winning captain at Williams College, he not only led his team to a Tri Collegiate Football Association championship but also excelled as a track star, showcasing his athletic prowess across multiple disciplines.

In this riveting episode of Crime Time, Inc., we dive deep into the extraordinary life of Howard Marks, also known as Mr. Nice. Born in the small town of Kenfig Hill, Wales, Marks initially pursued a promising academic career, studying physics at Oxford University. However, he soon immersed himself in the world of cannabis smuggling, establishing an intricate web of international connections involving MI6, the IRA, and even the Yakuza. Despite his criminal activities, Marks earned the nickname Mr. Nice due to his charming personality and ethical stance, preferring to deal mainly in cannabis, which he viewed as a less harmful substance. Though he navigated numerous legal hurdles, including a wild escape from Dutch police and a courtroom tale about working for MI6, Marks's empire eventually crumbled when a close associate betrayed him. After being arrested by the DEA in 1988, Marks faced a lengthy prison sentence but managed to secure an early release in 1995. Upon release, his best-selling autobiography and advocacy for cannabis legalization transformed him into a counterculture icon. Join us as we explore the many facets of Howard Marks's life, from his Oxford days to his international smuggling operations, and consider what his story tells us about the complexities of human nature.00:00 Introduction to Howard Marks01:05 Early Life and Education02:02 Oxford and the Beginnings of Crime03:15 Rise in the Drug Trade04:31 International Smuggling Operations11:26 Betrayal and Downfall13:07 Life in Prison and Beyond15:06 Legacy of Mr. Nice Hosted on Acast.

In this gripping episode of Crime Time, Inc., we dive deep into the perplexing case of Dr. Sam Sheppard, a prominent Ohio physician accused of brutally murdering his wife, Marilyn Sheppard, on July 4th, 1954. We explore the initial investigation, the shocking details of the crime scene, and the immediate suspicion that fell on Dr. Sam due to his infidelity and circumstantial evidence. The trial, significantly influenced by sensationalist media coverage, resulted in a controversial guilty verdict. Dr. Sam's persistent claims of innocence led to a series of appeals, spearheaded by F. Lee Bailey, that uncovered judicial bias and ultimately resulted in his exoneration in 1966. However, the quest for justice didn't end there as his son, Sam Reese Sheppard, continued efforts to clear his father's name and find the true perpetrator. Richard Eberling, a handyman with a criminal past, emerged as a potential suspect decades later, yet definitive proof remained elusive. With forensics advancements and relentless pursuit, this case underscores the complexities of the legal system, media influence, and the unending quest for truth amidst lingering doubts and ambiguities.00:00 Introduction to the Sam Sheppard Case00:26 The Crime Scene and Initial Suspicions01:57 Media Frenzy and Its Impact03:02 Trial and Conviction03:30 Appeals and Overturned Conviction04:43 Second Trial and Exoneration05:54 New Suspects and Ongoing Investigations09:18 Reflections and Unanswered Questions12:31 Lessons and Takeaways Hosted on Acast.

In this episode of Crime Time Inc., we dive deep into the life and mysterious death of Jörg Jenatsch, a Swiss political leader whose story is steeped in intrigue, violence, and assassination. Jenatsch's life journey is explored, from his humble beginnings as a Protestant pastor to his controversial career as a cunning and ruthless soldier of fortune during the turbulent Thirty Years War. The region of Grisons, amidst a power struggle between Protestant and pro-Spanish Catholic factions, serves as the backdrop for his transformative acts, including his involvement in the pivotal murder of Pompeius von Planta. The episode analyses whether Jenatsch's conversion to Catholicism was a genuine pivot or a strategic move, and how he masterfully switched sides, creating alliances where it suited his ambitions. We uncover the fascinating forensic investigations surrounding his brutal assassination, featuring an axe-wielding masked assailant during a Carnival celebration, as well as modern-day scientific techniques like DNA analysis and facial reconstruction that helped confirm the identity of his remains discovered in the Chur Cathedral. The podcast features riveting details from witness testimonies, facial reconstructions, and even isotope analysis shedding light on his diet and movements across Europe. Above all, it paints a vivid picture of Jenatsch as a master strategist and a complex figure embroiled in the grand political and religious strife of his times. His legacy remains hotly debated in Switzerland, posing crucial questions about his true motivations and the moral ambiguities of his actions.00:00 Introduction to the Case of Jörg Jenatsch00:28 Setting the Historical Context00:49 Jenatsch's Transformation from Pastor to Soldier01:23 The Murder of Pompeius von Planta02:15 Jenatsch's Military Career and Political Maneuvering03:07 Conversion to Catholicism and New Alliances03:59 The Assassination of Jörg Jenatsch05:57 Discovery of Jenatsch's Remains08:43 Forensic Analysis and Historical Insights10:29 The Significance of Millet in Jenatsch's Life11:15 Jenatsch's Controversial Legacy12:09 Isotope Analysis: Mapping Jenatsch's Movements13:13 Jenatsch's Family and Religious Tensions14:13 The Missing Hair Sample and Facial Reconstruction15:37 Unraveling Jenatsch's Motivations16:48 The Final Verdict on Jenatsch's Identity20:03 Reflecting on Jenatsch's Complex Legacy Hosted on Acast.

Udo Hock's Die rätselhaften Botschaften des Anderen. Zum Werk Jean Laplanches (The enigmatic messages of the other. On the work of Jean Laplanche), came out in 2024 with Psychosozial-Verlag, and collectes nine essays that Hock published over the past twenty years. Published in 2024 to celebrate Laplanche's centennial, these papers are a crucial contribution to Laplanche studies from one of its key actors. Hock is not only a reader and commentator of Laplanche, but also an editor and translator of many of Laplanche's German-language translations. Hock has a real eye for the complexities of Laplanche's work, and he thinks Laplanche together with other thinkers such as Žižek or figures of French Theory. Hock is steeped in French Theory and its milieu, of which he himself has been a member for the past forty years. He proposes to psychoanalysis a shift away from its monothematic anglophilia toward an appreciation of the French schools. I recommend reading closely these essays to anyone capable of reading German. They open up another Laplanche, the Laplanche of linguistic sublety and conceptual ingenuity. All the while Hock offers critical re-examinations of central psychoanalytic notions through his engagment with Laplanchian concepts such as seduction, mytho-symbolism or the message. The interview itself has a wonderfully explorative and open-ended quality. Hock really embarked on a journey of thinking, when he spoke of Laplanche, Lacan, Klein, and other other ideas central Laplanche's work. i greatly enjoyed this interview for its meditative quality, for the fact that Hock dwelled on topics, excavating what lies beneath the surface.

Enigmatic whispers in the Oregon woods. A father's love, twisted and gnarled. This isn't your grandmother's werewolf story. Because she probably killed the wolf and made his pelt into a coat, AmIRight?Pete, Tommy, and Steve venture into the shadowy heart of Leigh Whannell's Wolfman, a film that dares to ask: what if the monster within isn't just fur and fangs, but the inherited burden of family, the gnawing anxieties of parenthood, and the terrifying erosion of self? Forget silver bullets and full moons. This is a descent into the primal, a claustrophobic exploration of generational trauma played out in a remote farmhouse, where the walls close in as quickly as the darkness.And yet, the crew wrestles with the film's unrealized potential on almost every point, the tantalizing promise of thematic depth ultimately yielding to a sense of hollowness. So, is it a poignant meditation on the fragility of connection? Or a missed opportunity?Ok, it's mostly the second one. Mostly.

Happy New Beginning! One quick important creative announcement: I have new music coming! Meet Me at the End of the World was written by me, live on a series I do called the East Nashville Songwriting Workshop, where I write a song live on the internet, start to finish. Usually it's a co-write, but this particular time the scheduled guest didn't show up so I was left by myself. Not ideal but the show must go on so I thrashed around in front of God and everybody and after 3 hours I'd made a song. The bigger surprise was that the song rang true and I really loved it and have wanted to share it ever since. It's a love song filled with wild emotion and exploding asteroids and an oblique reference to Melville (Moby Dick) and Steinbeck (The Pearl), shot through with bottomless thirst I equate with the feeling of being in love. The track was produced by Morse Code Podcast alum Anthony DaCosta and we're shooting a very ambitious music video for it directed by another podcast alum, Mila Vilaplana. Powerhouse Randa Newman is producing it while somehow nursing Baby Zuzu to the delightfully chunky condition we find her in today (Zuzu not Randa).Meet Me at the End of the World drops February 14 and I'm playing a full-band release show Feb 15 at the 5 Spot in East Nashville. More info in the coming weeks. It's been a while since I put some new music out. Cue feelings of excitement, and nervousness. Which is an appropriate segue to introduce this very special guest:Ryan Rado is a painter, musician, ontological coach, and host of the Make it Perfect Podcast.Don't worry about it. I also had to look up what an ontological coach was. And to be honest, I didn't do that until after taping our conversation, because I was moved by this conversation and wanted to know more about Ryan and his life and work. The way he was in the room, how he shared so freely, not only his creative philosophy but his battle — that might not be the right word — maybe relationship is better — with Tourette's syndrome, made me want to dig into what he's doing and why. Just how damn vulnerable he was and yet, firm. Is that the word? Enigmatic things are hard to put words to.I met Ryan at a screening of the Morse Code Pilot this summer. It was brief, but let me see if I can convey a little of the piquant nature of that exchange: see, I opened the evening by playing a few songs in the theater, just, totally acoustic no mics or PA. Which is my favorite way to perform or witness live music (there just aren't many situations where it can work).I played a couple of of my songs — one of them, Northern Lights, got an audible sigh from somewhere on the left side of the room, a couple rows back. Hearing that gratified me like a baby on the boob. All I ever wanted to do was make somebody sigh okay?Not only did I take the compliment, but I noted that a grown ass man was publicly responding — audibly — to another grown ass man sharing his heart. Unusual. Also indicative of an integrated being.The Morse Code is a reader-supported publication and podcast. To receive new posts and support my songs, stories, podcast epiosdes and video essays, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.I filed that nanosecond feeling away, and retrieved it the moment I opened an email from Ryan asking if I'd be interested in swapping guest tapings. I checked out his art and CV and it was clear this guy was exactly the kind of person I'm looking for in a guest — a person whose commitment to self-expression extends well beyond the act itself. As I read some interviews Ryan had given and learned more about how he came to paint, it was obvious to me that the lines between active expression and active living are, in Ryan's court, blurred.What I'm trying to say is that this is one of the most interesting and moving conversations I've had on the podcast to date. Ryan's transparency — with his past trauma, present joys, and his infectious desire to be fully himself — in what I might call a gladiatorial humility — was both challenging and moving. We looked at works of his art together, while he described not only what he was trying to achieve in them, but how they made him feel while looking at them in that moment. He talked about the Tourettes, even in realtime describing how hard was trying to resist the desire to lick the microphone while we talked. He got emotional talking about his young son's ability to punch right to the center of his art with the tossed-off remark flung with the precision of a 4th century Ketana.If you think I'm trying to get you to listen to this episode, you're right. Ryan is a special person. The goal of the Morse Code Podcast is to infected you with inspiration and bravery by presenting people who are inspiring and brave. It's a simple goal and I hope it's working.Listen to the episode and then look up Ontological Coach. That's the order I did it in.Happy New Year. Big changes coming for all of us.Korby Get full access to The Morse Code at korby.substack.com/subscribe

Change. Enigmatic. Unpredictable. These days, it feels like the uninvited guest that overstays its welcome, disrupting our carefully constructed routines. But what if, hidden within the debris of the familiar, lies the seed of something truly remarkable?In this season finale of Mission Forward, Carrie explores the often-uncomfortable reality of transformation. She shares the story of a non-profit CEO whose outward success masked a period of intense internal change, illustrating a powerful truth: sometimes, detours and unexpected roadblocks are precisely what propel us forward. Think of Bob Ross and his "happy accidents"—those unexpected brushstrokes that transform a canvas. It's this same wisdom that, when applied to organizational change, suggests that seemingly negative events can be remarkable catalysts for growth.So, embrace the fork in the road. Embrace the unknown. The most rewarding journeys are often the ones for which we never prepared a brief.Thank you for joining us this year and this season, and from all of us here on the Mission Forward team we wish you a rich, rewarding, and restful holiday. See you in 2025! (00:00) - Welcome to Mission Forward

In the early 1900s, art movements within the then-burgeoning category of modern art were exploding in multiple directions, and among them was a strand called Orphism. What was it? In some ways, it is hard to say. Relatively short-lived and debated even as soon as it was coined around 1912, Orphism was a form of abstract art, informed by motion, radial shapes of vibrant colors. Most known and neatly associated with Orphism are Robert and Sonia Delaunay, who thought colors could be used to create visual harmonies, where form and hue worked on a canvas in the same way that notes worked to build a piece of music. The artist could be thought of as composer. And yet the contours movement is still somewhat vague. In fact, there were debates about what Orphism was or meant from within the group that was most often associated with it. It remains elusive. My co-host, the art critic Ben Davis, recently went to a major showing of Orphist works, an exhibition called “Harmony & Dissonance: Orphism in Paris, 1910–1930” at the Guggenheim, in New York that opened earlier this month and will run until March 2025. We discussed about the art form and its impact as well as some of the the unanswered questions he left the show with.

Join Michael Jaco and Ole Dammegard in an electrifying episode as they unravel eerie connections between Ole's ominous predictions and recent real-world events that are sparking global concern. Known for his uncanny insights, Ole had predicted potential directed-energy weapon attacks targeting Coral Gables and Cape Coral, Florida—events eerily similar to the tragic fires in Lahaina, Hawaii. But instead of a laser-guided assault, Florida was battered by an abnormally powerful hurricane, Milton, leaving Michael and Ole to question whether natural disasters might be manipulated by covert powers. Could the U.S. Space Force or other clandestine forces be influencing weather patterns? From flashing green lasers to swarms of genetically modified mosquitoes, the signs seem straight out of a sci-fi thriller. This eye-opening conversation dives into events too coincidental to ignore, including suspicions of Space Force's involvement and a surge of unexplained “natural” disasters that bear uncanny hallmarks of intentional devastation. As the storm clouds gather on the conspiracy front, they pivot to the explosive topic of an alleged assassination attempt on former President Trump and delve into Ole's private webinars, where he reveals chilling theories about Elvis Presley's untimely death. Was it murder, a cover-up, or could the King himself have faked his demise to escape a dark, hidden reality? Ole and Michael unpack evidence from Elvis' mysterious last days, exposing contradictions in the autopsy, grave-robbery rumors, and sightings long after he supposedly left the building. This story involves mob ties, covert FBI operations, and a secret identity conspiracy reaching deep into American culture. In this spellbinding discussion, Ole and Michael explore whether Elvis lives on through a preacher named Bob Joyce, whose uncanny resemblance and enigmatic connections with the past have fueled decades of speculation. Was the King of Rock and Roll's life part of an elaborate ruse, enabling him to outwit his enemies? Tune in for a journey through history's most perplexing cover-ups, mind-bending theories, and a fresh take on humanity's fascination with the hidden. Visit Light on Conspiracies for exclusive details, including Ole's photos, documents, and new insights. This is one episode where you'll question reality itself.
