Tech billionaire Peter Thiel claims “freedom and democracy are incompatible.” Mentor and $15M donor behind JD Vance's political career, Peter Thiel also has an influence: Mencius Moldbug, computer programmer and lead philosopher of the “Dark Enlightenment,” or “neoreactionary” movement.  Moldburg says, “if Americans want their government to change, they're going to have to get over their dictator phobia.” Erstwhile pen-name of Curtis Yarvin, “Moldburg” is openly anti-democratic, advocating for one-party city-states ruled by CEO-kings. His takes on race, slavery, and the Nazis are equally alarming.  Vance has also publicly praised and cited his work, and Thiel gave $1.1 million to Yarvin's tech start-up. Julian digs into the toxic pseudo-intellectual philosophy behind the next wave of MAGA authoritarianism. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Saudi Arabia reportedly wants to move IPL into a holding company and acquire a significant stake in it. And that stake's worth could be as high as 5billion Dollars. Reports also claim that the kingdom's de-facto ruler wants to expand IPL into other countries, on the lines of the English Premier League. But why do Saudis want a piece of IPL pie?  Any discussion on IPL would be incomplete without the mention of Virat Kohli. The star batter who has scored maximum runs in this format. And in T20 too. Just last week, Kohli scored his 49th ODI century, equalling the record of his cricketing role model Sachin Tendulkar. In our next segment, find out if Kohli is the greatest ODI batter? Like its cricket team, India's financial markets too are on a roll. Despite aggressive interest rate hikes worldwide, and geopolitical crisis, Indian markets are ending Samvat 2079 with sparkling returns. The benchmark indices are up about 10% each, while the broader market indices have zoomed over 30%. Here's a wrap on the outgoing Samvat, highlighting key events that unfolded during the year, and the biggest wealth builders and destroyers during the period. After stocks, let us see what is happening in the crypto space. Erstwhile crypto king Sam Bankman-Fried was convicted of wire fraud and conspiracy to launder money last week. He now faces up to 115 years in prison. Bankman-Fried was the founder of the now-bankrupt crypto exchange FTX. Here's the entire Bankman-Fried-FTX saga and more.

I'm your host, Keith Weinhold.    Would you rather be age 18 and poor or 80 and wealthy?   Learn about how a second mortgage could benefit you.   Historically, what REGIONS of the nation have the most stable and volatile real estate prices?    Then, there are two ominous threats to FUTURE property prices. All that and more, today, on Episode 444 of Get Rich Education.   Welcome to GRE! From Orange County, Florida to Orange County, CA and across 188 nations worldwide, I'm Keith Weinhold, this is Get Rich Education.   Last week marked 50 years since the first-ever cellphone call was placed. The call from the 2.5-pound brick-sized cellphone was placed in NYC - Manhattan.    That phone could NOT fit inside a standard pocket.    Sheesh! Look, I won't even use a case on my iPhone today because I'm concerned about the weight and friction and it would add!   I want it light and I want to be able to quickly slide it in & out of my pocket. Ha!   Well, I've got a more significant trade-off for you to consider.    Would you rather be age 18 and poor or age 80 and wealthy?    I think you and most everyone would rather be 18 years old and poor rather than 80 years old and wealthy.   I am pretty confident that you & I agree on that.   Well, if you'd rather be 18 and poor, then why would you go to a job to trade your time for dollars?   Because that's exactly how you move away from 18 and poor straight toward 80 & wealthier but probably 80 & still less than wealthy.   Why would you make that trade?   Even if you love your job - if it's not the activity you'd MOST want to be doing out of anything else in the wide spectrum of life, move away from 18 & poor?   Well, time is going to pass one way or the other, but you can win back your time & end up wealthy rather than “somewhat less than wealthy”...   …when you provide value for society by giving them housing, getting paid 5 ways at the same time, one of which includes a MOSTLY passive income stream, trading relatively little of your life time all the while. That's why we do here.   That way, you're not quite going to be 18 & wealthy, but wealthy when you're young enough to enjoy it.   Over the last three years, property prices are up 30 to 40% in a lot of markets.   We're going to look at the current & future direction of real estate prices in a moment.    But let's talk about what you can do with this… what you can do with that dead equity in your properties.   America has near record-high equity levels right now so this is really timely here.   But there's a bit of a problem with tapping your equity today. Before I get into that, just a recap minute here…   Of course, as any longtime listener knows, since the rate of return from home equity is always zero, you have a chance to harvest your equity.   Having, even an extra $1,000 of equity in any property, including your own home, is like making an extra principal payment of $1,000.   Doing that is like you saying, “Hey, Mr. Banker. Here's an extra $1,000 principal payment. Don't pay me any interest on it. If I need it back, I'll pay you fees, and I'll try to prove to you that I qualify again.”   That's the short story on why home equity is unsafe, Illiquid, and its ROI is Zero.   OK, but if you have a mortgage loan that's set at just 3 or 4% interest, are you really going to refinance that whole loan just to pull some money out - just to convert some equity to cash?   Because if you did, your mortgage rate could go up to 6 or 7%. So accessing equity isn't as great as it used to be.   Ah, but there's a way around this.   One your, say, property at, say, Huckleberry Lane, you could keep your existing mortgage in-place at that low 3% or 4% rate, and potentially add a second mortgage onto Huckleberry Lane - and only that second mortgage is at the higher rate. The first loan stays in place and so does its amortization schedule.   Now, if your Huckleberry Lane property is worth $500K, you can often have 80% of that, or $400K borrowed, that's that 80% combined-loan-to-value ratio.   That means that the amount of cash that you can get your hands on is $400K minus your mortgage balance.    That's why a lot of property owners are able to access, often, $100K or more cash, without touching their low first mortgage at all.   Get $100K cash out - or whatever you have access to - it's not providing you with any rate of return anyway.   Though you can often borrow out up to 80% of your primary residence's property value, the deal isn't as good as far as getting second mortgages on your rental property.   Second mortgages on a rental are, sometimes available, sometimes not. When they are, it's recently been just up to 70% that you can borrow out.   Now, as good as this might sound, it doesn't mean that you SHOULD do it. What are the risks with taking a second mortgage on your home or rental properties?   Well, some second mortgages take the form of a Home Equity Line of Credit - or HELOC.    The interest rate on your HELOC can fluctuate, so there's interest rate risk. Most HELOCs have a fixed rate period for the first 5 or more years though.   Before I talk more about the risk of a second mortgage, it's just amazing - the number of people that I run into out there - most of them aren't REIs - but homeowners that are elated that they got a low mortgage rate 2, 3 years ago (and they should be - congratulations)... but they want to tap their bloated home equity and don't know about adding a second mortgage.   Now, a risk with a second mortgage is the potential pitfall of borrowing short to go long, meaning your HELOC rate resets in a little as five years - it could go down when it resets and it goes up, and at that time, you're not liquid enough to deal with the second mortgages higher payments. Now, I know, it's exciting about getting into more income property, using dead equity from your own home or your own rentals - because it's “Real Estate Pays 5 Ways” stuff.   You might tell yourself, that when you add up a 5 rates of return from investment property - appreciation, cash flow, amortization, tax benefits and inflation-profiting, that you can surely see a total rate of return on your new rentals of 20% or 30% or more.    So if your second mortgage has an interest rate of 7 or 8%, you'd do that deal and pocket the spread.   Yes, it sure might work out that way, in fact, there's even a probability that it could work out that way.   But the risk is that you've got to stay liquid enough to service the debt if your second mortgage rate rises or any other reason.   And you might be just fine. You might have enough cash flow or cash stored that you're padded, you're fine… and your underwriter might help you look at that during your second mortgage qualification.   You might ask Ridge Lending Group or your favorite lender about second mortgage options.   So, now you know. A second mortgage can keep up your velocity of money. There are benefits and there are risks.   Utilizing it successfully looks something like this.   You start off with 50% equity in one property, which is 2:1 leverage, you move some of that into a second property.    Now you've got 25% equity in both.   You've done MORE than double your wealth-amplifying ability here. You've virtually 4Xed.   Because rather than having 2:1 leverage in one property, you've got 4:1 leverage in two properties.   That's how wealth is BUILT.   Let's talk about those ERSTWHILE home prices.   There are at least two ominous threats to future home prices. And now that it's Spring and market activity picks up, what's the CURRENT direction of home prices?    Real estate can move slower than glaciers, so March numbers are still scarce.   Home prices in the resale market - alright, that means existing homes, not new-build - those resale prices have stayed remarkably resilient, even when mortgage rates jumped up back in February.   John Burns REC compiles a chart for the latest survey of resale agents. The question that was asked is: “What direction have resale home prices moved in the last month?”    The national survey respondents can pick that prices are either MOST INCREASING, MOSTLY DECREASING, or MOSTLY FLAT.   This February, for the first time since May of 2022, more said that home prices are "mostly increasing" rather than "mostly decreasing":   Note though, that most of the agents in the latest survey show that prices are merely steady at 51%. 26% said “increasing” and 23% decreasing.   Credit to JBREC. This is a national survey of ~2,600 resale agents.    Now just from this chart and THESE stats, note something interesting. October 2022—appears to be housing's low point. That was then, six months ago—marking housing's recent low point.   So, that's a different angle on looking at home prices than usual - asking agents what they're seeing.   National existing home prices, per the FRED stats, month-over-month are up just a little, from about $361K to $363K. Again, that's through February.   Seasonally, that could go up more. That typically happens each year when spring transitions to summer.   There's a good chance that national homes prices will be rising these next few months.   If you think that those prices sound a little low, be mindful, this entire discussion, so far, is about EXISTING homes aka resale homes, which tend to be priced lower than new construction homes.    If you combine both existing & new, same source, $468,000 is the national median home price. That was the same quarter-over-quarter. Same source too.   It's always important to cite the source when it comes to statistics.   You know, some say the 1990s are when America moved into the Information Age. But, at some point, in the 2010s, did we move into the DisInformation Age?   I don't know. There's a lot of both out there - a plethora, a profusion of both information and disinformation.   Some of these niche finance social media pages don't cite their sources, and more often than not, I don't follow them or I unfollow them if I find that they regularly don't cite source.   The other type of story that I unfollow or just stay away from, are article headlines or images with the word “Rumor” in it.   I don't want to follow Rumors. Now, I guess, in the best case, a rumor could turn out to be true and maybe could give you a heads up on something that actually turns out to come true later.   But, the world is full of real information. I don't want to spend this one finite life I have on earth catching up on rumors. It's more sports sites that use that word rather than finance sites.   Rumor is just an annoying word, I guess. It's a synonym for “gossip”.   Hey, the real estate investing and personal finance world has its own quirks and odd spins on words.   One thing I haven't been able to figure out is how a guru is bad and an obsession is good.   Some people disparage thought leaders and influencers as gurus.   Guru means an influential teacher or an expert. That sounds like someone worth listening to to me.   How are obsessions good. Some say, to succeed, you've go to be obsessed.   No, you don't. That sounds unhealthy.   The definition of obsess is to preoccupy or fill the mind of someone continually, intrusively, and to a troubling extent.   Don't fall into the trap of an obsession.   Well, to recap what you've learned today on Get Rich Education Episode 444 (ha!) rumors and obsessions are bad, and gurus are good.   Enough digression. Getting back to real estate investing.   Like I said at the beginning of the year, I don't expect much national HPA or price declines this year.   But regionally, the markets that we focus on here - the ones in the Southeast and Midwest and a little in the Northeast, have all performed well.   Many - even most - in our target markets appreciated in 2018 & 2019 & 2020 & 2021 & 2022 & they're continuing to do so now.   Many Florida markets are still seeing 10%+ appreciation. We're talking about those stable markets, avoiding the volatile, largely coastal markets where prices are sinking, especially on the West Coast.   As I've long discussed, one reason that we invest where we do are for their stable prices, even during downturns.   Backed by historical data, American housing's long-term regional price volatility is broken down like this: The most stable markets are in the Midwest and the Inland Northeast. The medium volatility markets are in South And the highly volatile markets, which we avoid  are in the West, and the Coastal Northeast - like NYC and Boston. I'm going to guess that you've never heard regional home price VOLATILITY described before.  Now, you might wonder, if the Inland Northeast tends to have more stable, long-term pricing than the South, why don't we favor it more than the South. Well, stable prices are important. But having high rent ratios and having strong LL-tenant laws and high in-migration make the Southeast a strong investment area. Of course, when I describe regions this broad there tend to be some outliers and exceptions. Now, it's going to be interesting to see how America's regional pricing level AND its level of stability changes over time. That is set up to change at a faster pace, and you might know why that is - why these geographic regions could see, really more of an amalgamation of characteristics and that is due to… you MIGHT know what I'm going to say. WFH. That actually is not an initialism or acronym for some kind of thinly veiled profanity. It is work-from-home.  The rise in Work From Home Trends could really start to blur these lines over time. Now, it would be a trend that moves slowly.  But consider, that, in January of 2023 six times more work was happening remotely than it was in January of 2019, that's according to a company called WFH Research. In fact, in major cities like New York and Chicago there are now more job postings for flexible arrangements than at any point during the last three years, according to the NBER & Bloomberg. Now, that's of less concern to you, the residential property investor. It might just be an interesting trend and create more demand for your product - HOMES! But it could very well put downward pressure price pressure on higher-priced areas like Manhattan, Brooklyn, and San Jose… and more upward price pressure on those lower cost areas where you & I tend to buy property. But with more Americans working from their homes, it is bad, bad, bad for downtown commercial landlords and some central business district companies who survived the 2020 lockdowns… but STILL haven't fully bounced back three years later.

I'm Keith Weinhold. You're listening to Episode 444 of Get Rich Education. ______________________ Welcome back to Get Rich Education. I'm your host, Keith Weinhold.   We are keepin' it real here at GRE. Building real wealth in the real world with real estate.   See the, uh, emphasis on the world “real”. Back in December, on Episode 427, you'll remember that we did a show devoted to Metaverse Real Estate Investing… and the consensus of the guest & I were that it is risky and in most cases, ill-advised to get involved.   Well, it was recently announced that both Disney and Microsoft have shuttered their metaverse projects.    Popular virtual worlds have seen steep drops in interest, with the median sale price of real estate in Decentraland plummeting 90% YoY. You know, with the real thing, even if your real estate lost value, which isn't common, it can't go down too far. You've still got the value of the land underneath it and the value of all the materials that your property is built with. What about national home prices for the rest of this year? Of course, it's always a little odd to discuss national home prices with the tens of thousands of US markets.    It's kind of like coming up with a national weather average.   Here are the MAIN factors governing national home price direction this year.   The headwinds to price growth - the threats are #1: 1 - We had banks fail early this spring. More regional bank fallout could contribute to tightening lending standards. Tightening lending standards would mean that fewer borrowers could qualify, and that could reduce demand. Reduced home demand is NOT good for prices. So that's ominous housing threat number #1. But even if that happens, regional banks are often making COMMERCIAL real loans. The government-backed loans you're getting for residential are more desirable - we're talking VA, FHA, rural housing mortgage, and conforming loans that are sold to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac - which are often those types that you're getting for 1-4 unit income properties at GRE Marketplace. All government-guaranteed stuff. The second substantial threat to some good home price appreciation this year is that there is a small chance of a big "job loss" recession. With it being over a year since the Fed started raising rates, there is a lag effect and we should some at least a few more job losses as we head toward a likely recession. They are the two ominous threats. The tailwinds to price growth - these are the strengths for rising home prices, there are 3. The first one is that labor & supply inflation remains elevated, and well, that obviously keeps upward pressure on home prices. The second positive, or strength for home prices is - like I touched on earlier - increasing spring homebuyer demand hasn't been factored into the numbers yet - and that always boosts prices. And then the third strength and underlying factor to boost home prices this year is really, what I've called “the crash” which has caught some people off guard. Yes, this generation's housing crash ALREADY happened. It is that SUPPLY CRASH of about 60% in available American homes to buy. We have such a low housing supply, like we've discussed in-depth elsewhere on the show so I won't elaborate on that, but that changes nearly everything and it is one reason that home prices are still so resilient today. Still more demand than supply. National home prices have begun heading up a little, and there are a few more opportunities than there are threats that prices should keep rising, but I don't expect any huge gain, like no 10% gain nationally this year. I don't see how that can happen at all. Now, you'll notice that, mortgage rates, - I didn't put them into either category - either the upcoming housing threats or strength and that's simply because we don't know where mortgage rates are headed. They're so hard to predict so that's why I'm not forecasting where I think that mortgage rates will go. You know how when you're under contract to buy a property and you & your mortgage loan officer are having that strategy session on WHEN you want to lock in your rate. At least one time in your life - and I sure have in mine - you're tempted to ask your MLO where they think rates are going… well, like I said, they're just really difficult to forecast.  Your MLO often doesn't know where they're going to go. Do you remember, last year, or I sure do because I follow this stuff closely, the number of people and professionals that said mortgage rates would be 8 to 10% by Spring of 2023? Yeah, quite a few people said that emphatically. They're about 6.3% today. Before I get back to real estate, the quarter recently ended so let's whip around the asset classes like we do sometimes at quarter-end. Tech stocks got a boost in the first quarter, that helped the S&P be up 7%.   Stocks of the tech giants that are leading the charge in          AI-powered search, Microsoft and Alphabet, outpaced that.   Meanwhile, the second- and third-largest bank collapses in US history happening within 48 hours hurt bank stocks.   Bitcoin was up 72% in Q1. Do we say that crypto winter is over when bitcoin hits $30K?   Oil prices were flat, beginning & ending the quarter at around $80.   Gold was up 7%, partly due to the bank failures.   Silver rose 4% for the quarter.   You know what's been a really bad investment for the last decade, despite all the good things that you hear about its promise - investing in physical silver. You read that there's now more silver above ground than below ground.   10 years ago, silver was worth $25 dollars an ounce and it's still worth… $25 an ounce.   That's even worse than it sounds to laypeople. If you've held any investment for 10 years like that and it's worth merely the same amount of dollars, inflation just chomped about half of it away.   We might have had 40 or 50% or more real inflation in the last decade… and silver bars didn't pay you an income stream during that time either. What a poor performer!   Though I think that SOME precious metals can still be a good STORE of value.   That was whipping around the other asset classes in Q1 of this year.   One place to park your money that is NOT a good store of value is… savings accounts and CDs and MMFs.   Their interest rate, though it might feel good getting paid up to 4% or 5% on those, it ensures that you're losing prosperity every day… because CPI inflation is higher than that, and then the real rate of inflation is higher than that yet. True inflation might be double your savings account rate.   Instead, the smart money BEATS inflation and all the time, a little more of the smart money is GETTING OUT OF DOLLARS too with these rising concerns about foreign nations doing more of their business in yuan or another currency outside of the petro dollar.   The dollar is currently under a lot of stress, besides just the inflation. Dollars in savings accounts & the like… don't just lose to inflation… they're actually keeping your prosperity denominated in dollars, which a growing chorus feels precarious about right now.   Is the dollar about to lose its world reserve currency status? I don't know. I think people having been calling for that since shortly after Richard Nixon took us off the gold standard in 1971.    Instead, what about a fully renovated or brand new investment property, with a rent-paying tenant placed and its all under professional management for you.   That way it's low hassle for you, yet because you own the asset directly, you have the CONTROL without the hassle, and you're often paid those five ways.   This way, not only are you getting out of dollars with your down payment - another way to say it is that you're converting your dollars into real estate…   Then on top of that, when you borrow the dollars for 75 or 80% of the purchase price… you're getting out of dollars so much that you've essentially fund a way to go negative with your dollar position on that property.   When you buy through our network, since the property is new or renovated, you should often expect little or no ongoing repair or maintenance expense in the early years.   And here's the thing that some investors overlook. You may not have an CapEx expense at all. Those big capital expenditures like a new roof or windows or a furnace.   That's because when you buy new or rehabbed and you consider that your hold time often isn't more than 7-10 years due to equity accumulation and leverage ratios, as you lever up into another property, you can leave the Capital Expenditures to the next buyer when you sell.   So, these are some reasons why buying residential real estate makes a ton of sense in this environment.    Will these next five years be as lucrative as the last five years? No, I really wouldn't expect that - that's because of the historically high price runup these past few years.   But I still cannot think of a better place to be than that strategically-chosen real estate.   You can go ahead and get started looking at some properties in markets and connect with our free investment coaching there if you so choose.    That's all at GREmarketplace.com   Hey, I really had a great time chatting real estate and everything else with you today.   Until next week, I'm your host, KW. DQYD!

Ernst and Veronika talk to us about their process of composing Expedition Content, the augmented sound piece composed from 37 hours of recordings which document the encounter between members of the Harvard Peabody Expedition, particularly Michael Rockefeller of the Rockefeller family, and the Hubula people of West Papua, at the time Nederlands New Guinea. The piece reflects on visual anthropology, the lives of the Hubula and of Michael, and the ongoing history of colonialism and occupation in West Papua. “Expedition Content” premiered at the 70th Berlin International Film Festival and has been screened at Cinéma du Réel at the Centre Pompidou Paris, the Art of the Real, Lincoln Center New York, and Camden international Film Festival. Veronika Kusumaryati is a social anthropologist and artist working on the issues of Indigenous politics, conflict and violence, race/racism, and digital media. The geographic focus of her research is Indonesia, primarily West Papua, a self-identifying term referring to Indonesia's easternmost provinces of Papua and West Papua, where she has conducted extensive fieldwork since 2012. She holds a Ph.D. in anthropology with a secondary field in film and visual studies from Harvard University and was a postdoctoral fellow at the Asian Studies Program at the Edmund A.

Her writings have been published in journals, such as Comparative Studies in Society and History and Critical Asian Studies. She is an incoming assistant professor in anthropology and international studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison starting in the spring of 2023. www.veronikakusumaryati.wordpress.com Ernst Karel works with sound, including electroacoustic music, experimental nonfiction sound works for multichannel installation and performance, image-sound collaboration, and postproduction sound for nonfiction vilm, with an emphasis on observational cinema. Lately he works around the practice of actuality/location recording (or 'fields [plural] recording') and composing with those recordings, with recent projects also taking up archival location recordings. Sound projections have been presented at Sonic Acts, Amsterdam; Oboro, Montreal; EMPAC, Troy NY; Arsenal, Berlin; and the 2014 Whitney Biennial. Sound installations in collaboration with Helen Mirra have been exhibited at the Gardner Museum, Boston; Culturgest, Lisbon; KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Berlin; Audiorama, Stockholm; MIT List Visual Arts Center, Cambridge; and in the 2012 Sao Paulo Bienal. Audio-video collaborations include Expedition Content (2020, with Veronika Kusumaryati), Ah humanity! (2015, with Lucien Castaing-Taylor and Véréna Paravel) and Single Stream (2014, with Toby Lee and Pawel Wojtasik). CDs of his often collaborative work, including with the electroacoustic duo EKG, have been released on and/OAR, Another Timbre, Cathnor, Gruenrekorder, Locust, Sedimental, and Sshpuma record labels, and a duo with Bhob Rainey is forthcoming on Erstwhile. From 2006 until 2017 he managed the Sensory Ethnography Lab at Harvard University, doing postproduction sound for vilms including Sweetgrass, The Iron Ministry, Manakamana, and Leviathan. He has taught audio recording and composition through the Sensory Ethnography Lab at Harvard (through 2021), the Center for Experimental Ethnography at Penn (2019), and the Department of Film & Media at UC Berkeley (2022). www.ek.klingt.org --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/sugar-nutmeg/support

Victoria Gill and guests ask why does scientific communication matters in society and how it might be done better, with Sam Illingworth, Berry Billingsley and Ozmala Ismail. The climate crisis and Covid-19 have shown over the recent years the importance of reliable, relatable, transparent and trusted science communication. But just like science itself, it comes in different forms and takes different approaches. Always keen to keep you up to date, BBC Inside Science takes a moment to discuss good practice and how it might be done better. Dr Oz Ismail is a dementia researcher who also finds time to do stand-up, public engagement and a podcast called Why Aren't You A Doctor Yet? Sam Illingworth is an Associate Professor at Edinburgh Napier University who investigates science and communication between disciplines. He is also a poet and writer, and has a podcast called The Poetry of Science. And Berry Billingsley is Professor in Science Education at Canterbury Christchurch University.

On this episode, my conversation with Marcos de Jesus “de la Guagua.” Marcos is a good friend and has been on the show many times and needs little introduction. So, here's a short and sweet one. Marcos de Jesus “de la Guagua” is an artist, most notably, a singer, rapper, and dancer. He has roots in Milwaukee, the Bronx, Puerto Rico, and Pomerania. He's also a licensed NYC tour guide and is a virtual artist in residence at TLCofNYC.org. His compositions have been presented by What a Neighborhood! and Annabella Gonzalez Dance Theatre.   We had a hoot discussing his newest project Erstwhile Shuffle, a motet, or short sacred piece, encompassing varoius characters and genres, all anchored on the existential angst of modern life and inevitability of death. We talked about the meaning of music, coping with anxiety in modern life, why there's a dance challenge associated with the project, meaning in the finiteness of existence, the state of contemporary hiphop, and more. We also listened to Erstwhile Shuffle. It's fun; quirky; silly; hiphop-py; meaningful; emotional; and just, well, good.   Thank you for listening.

In October 2016, British civil servant Cormac Smith was seconded to Ukraine to take up a special appointment as the Strategic Communication Advisor to then foreign minister Pavlo Klimkin. For the 18 months of his posting, Smith was embedded in Klimkin's department, the first foreigner to be given unfettered access across the Ministry. He says trust was built up through a strategy of gaining a rapid understanding of the culture, issues and history of the hugely complex nation. During his time in Kyiv he advised and provided training for five other government ministries and worked directly with the Deputy Prime Minister; and the Ministers of Health and Education. Smith, who says he came away from Kyiv with a "deep understanding and empathy" for Ukraine and its people, is in daily contact with a range of former Ukrainian colleagues in government and friends who are in the middle of the conflict. In this special podcast, he gives BizNews editor Alec Hogg an update on the latest developments, the roots to the war - and delivers clear message to a 'confused' South Africa.

As the ANC leadership contest intensifies, long-time political allies President Cyril Ramaphosa and NEC Member Lindiwe Sisulu have now turned erstwhile political enemies. Sisulu has openly defied President Cyril Ramaphosa by refusing to withdraw the negative comments in her opinion piece on the Judiciary and suggesting that the president lied in his statement. She also accused the Presidential media team of mischievously and deliberately misrepresenting the contents of her meeting with the president.

The Canadian composer, pianist and percussionist Andrew (Andy) Creeggan is equally at home in the worlds of classical composition and pop music. A member of the wildly successful Canadian band Barenaked Ladies from 1989 to 1995, he experienced fame early in life. Deciding that being a member of a band was not for him in the long run, he left to study composition at Montréal's McGill University. Since then, he has recorded and performed in The Brothers Creeggan, a band formed with his brother Jim Creeggan, and released three CDs of his compositions: Andiwork I, II and III (order from Bongo Beat Records). In addition, he has composed chamber music and worked as an arranger.Musical excerpts, in order of appearance:• Viola n° 5 (from Andiwork II)• Tongue A (from Andiwork III)**SUPPORT THIS PODCASTPatreonDonorboxORDER SAMUEL ANDREYEV'S NEWEST RELEASEIridescent NotationLINKSYouTube channelOfficial WebsiteTwitterInstagramEdition Impronta, publisher of Samuel Andreyev's scoresEPISODE CREDITSPodcast artwork photograph © 2019 Philippe StirnweissSupport the show (http://www.patreon.com/samuelandreyev)

Erstwhile is an adjective that means ‘previous’ or ‘former.’ Occasionally, it pops up as an adverb that means ‘in the past.’ Our word of the day has been around since the 16th century, but its origin is in two much older words from Old English. The word’s first syllable E-R-S-T once meant ‘earlier’ and the second part W-H-I-L-E had the same meaning as the modern word ‘while.’ An example of erstwhile as an adverb is: The local high school was erstwhile in this location before being moved about a decade ago. As an adjective an example is: Our erstwhile principal has since retired to raise ostriches in his homeland of New Zealand.

What do you after you've built up a successful anti-trust law practice? If you're Yuan Ji, you start importing mezcal to your home in Brooklyn! Erstwhile Mezcal bills itself as “Honest mezcal with social mission.” Ji brings her street smarts to the business side of the brand while allowing the Mexican families with generations of experience making mezcal to do what they do best. It's an incredibly story that leads to some very small batches of delicious mezcaWhat we drank:Erstwhile EspadinErstwhile ArroqueñoErstwhile TobaláErstwhile Tepeztate-Tobalá MezcalErstwhile Henequén--Follow us:spiritguidesocietypodcast.comfacebook.com/spiritguidesoctwitter.com/spiritguidesocinstagram.com/spiritguidesochttps://www.youtube.com/c/SpiritGuideSociety--Erstwhile Mezcal is a mezcal importer based in Brooklyn, New York and Oaxaca, Mexico. We specialize in artisanal and ancestral mezcal.More than a mezcal brand, Erstwhile is a platform for the core values and and social missions that our founders believe in: mezcal education, brand transparency, promoting small family producers to an international audience / fan base, empowerment of women in the mezcal / wine & spirits industry.We set ourselves apart from others in several ways.First, the family producers we work with are independent family businesses. They are Erstwhile's partners, not employees. We pay our partner mezcaleros fairly. We do not ask them for exclusivity or discounts. We care about our mezcalero partners' economic empowerment and put our money where our mouth is. We seek out mezcaleros who are interested in exporting out of Mexico, but do not have the means to do so on their own. We help them get certified and licensed for export. We feel good about the fact that we help our mezcalero partners clear these hurdles from the get-go, independent of their work with us in the future.Unlike family-owned brands, we are not encumbered by loyalty to any particular family. When you support Erstwhile, you support not just one but all the family producers we partner with.Second, we are committed to brand transparency. Look at the back label of every Erstwhile bottle: it gives full disclosure of where you can find our partner producer in Oaxaca and buy directly from the source if you so choose. Read our website, product pages, blog posts, newsletters, social media. Talk to us at events and tastings. We are proud and open about who our partner mezcaleros are, and every aspect of how we do business.Third, we are committed to mezcal education, both as teachers and as students. That is why Erstwhile takes a curatorial, rotating approach when deciding which mezcals we want to bring you. We bring you not one but a variety to showcase mezcal's infinite nuances: different agave species, different flavor profiles, different producers, different production methods, different [fill in your suggestion here...].Our vision and commitment to you: keep on discovering kickass distillations by small family producers who want to grow through export; promote these producers and their mezcals; introduce them to you and to mezcal lovers all over the world. We do not sacrifice excellence to maximize profit or convenience. We commit the Erstwhile name if and only if it is an excellent or extraordinary mezcal. No matter how small the volume. No matter how cumbersome the logistics.Erstwhile is a woman-owned, woman-operated business. We support fellow women in mezcal production and all aspects of the mezcal / wine & spirits industry whenever possible.Erstwhile Mezcal was co-founded by two mezcal enthusiasts: Yuan Ji (former antitrust attorney) and Kevin J. Brown (the mastermind behind Geographicus Rare Antique Maps). Yuan and Kevin are no strangers to coups de foudre. Mezcal and Oaxaca go so darn well with their other passions (cocktails, tacos, history, and swashbuckling adventure, to name a few). It is hard not to be smitten.Upon returning from their first trip together to Oaxaca, Yuan and Kevin had a vision that has sharpened in focus with the passage of time:A platform for mezcal education, transparency, sustainability, and fair dealings with small independent family producers. A mezcal project that empowers small producers to grow via export, and that promotes small producers to an international market / fan base. A company that brings some core values of antitrust policy to the mezcal market: clearing barriers to market entry for small producers; providing as many great options as possible to mezcal consumers and enthusiasts all over the world. A mezcal portfolio after their own hearts. With a reputation for mezcal made the old-fashioned way, of only the finest quality or extraordinary provenance. Painstakingly curated after many a tasting trip through the Oaxacan countryside. Sourced from master mezcaleros' personal libraries. Made available for the first time to mezcal lovers in the U.S. and international market beyond.The mezcal of choice for doers. For risk-takers, nonconformists, creative folks, independent thinkers, and swashbucklers. For people who lead lives believing if their dreams do not scare them, the dreams are probably not big enough.

In an email to DJ Booth, foundational hip-hop group Little Brother has announced their return after a hiatus that lasted nearly a decade. While the group won’t continue with its original three-man lineup, Phonte and Big Pooh have decided to reunite as a duo with producer 9th Wonder’s blessing. The trio originally reunited last summer at the Art Of Cool festival, filling in for a last-minute cancelation. From that performance, which spurred both internal conversation and external speculation about a possible comeback, the iconic group decided to reconnect to release new music and tour once again after officially breaking up in 2010. “I’m excited to announce that my brother Big Pooh and I are back at work,” Phonte wrote. “New Little Brother music and a tour are coming soon. After conversations with 9th Wonder following our Art of Cool reunion show in Durham last year, the three of us mutually agreed it was best for LB to continue as a duo, as Pooh and I have officially been Little Brother since 2007.” This will likely constitute big news for hip-hop heads the world over, including some of your favorite rappers. It can likely be said with little to no exaggeration that Little Brother is essentially the basis for the entire rap game as we know it today. The group’s 2003 debut album, The Listening, was a part of a soul-centric revival of the dynamic that defined seminal groups like A Tribe Called Quest and De La Soul, and inspired dozens of similar groups. Little Brother was instrumental in the careers of both Kanye West and Drake, who guested on songs with the group’s original lineup early in both their rises; Kanye on “I See Now” from 2005’s The Chittlin Circuit: The Mixtape, while Drake featured Phonte and Pooh on “Don’t You Have A Man” and 9th and Phonte on “Think Good Thoughts” from his 2008 mixtape, Comeback Season. Although it’s been some time since then, both rappers have maintained their standing in hip-hop, with Phonte releasing his sophomore album No News Is Good News last year and Big Pooh dropping Home Sweet Home in 2015. Erstwhile member 9th Wonder, of course, has become one of hip-hop’s premier producers, landing placements with Kendrick Lamar, Jay-Z, his own Grammy-nominated artist Rapsody, and more. The group’s only confirmed appearance so far is Hopscotch Festival in Raleigh, North Carolina, September 5 through September 7.

Baked and Awake Episode 053 - LIVE From RenCon 2018 at the Interurban Hotel Conspiracy and Occult Disclosure in Comic Books and Graphic Novels Welcome everyone and thank you for coming to my TED Talk.  Please try to work with me today as I will be reading much of this presentation.  It’s part of podcasting that we often script greater or lesser degrees of our shows, necessitating at times this sort of… set up in a live setting. It’ll be fine.  I’ll look up now and then and we’ll get through this together, refreshed and having had a break off the busy Convention floors. I’d like to take a moment to also comment on how beautiful the Hotel interurban is, and how stoked I am to be here with you today podcasting from this beautiful space right in the middle of the Renton City Comic Con. Also please join me in thanking my lovely Niece Payton and her amazing Boyfriend Rob, for hanging out with my two boys today while we all enjoy this amazing show.  Thanks so much to both of you, I owe you each a big solid. As for myself- I’m Steve Cominski, and some of you with us today may already know that I am the host of the Baked and Awake podcast, produced right up the hill from here, from our home in the beautiful Skyway neighborhood. Make some noise if you’ve ever been to the  Skyway Park Bowl and Casino! Alright, so I have been doing the show for a little over a year now. We talk cannabis lifestyle and education stuff from my perspective as a member of the legal weed industry and before you ask- NO I am NOT the Plug! Alright actually I am The Plug but just not for you guys okay?? I sell to licensed retail cannabis stores and that’s where you all should be getting your cannabis, too! By the way, sorry but NO smoking today at the venue.  Please do not get my butt kicked out of here because you don’t know how to act, thank you. Seriously though I sincerely hope you did figure out how to get safe before the event, or are happy enough waiting until you are home or somewhere else 420 friendly, because it’s just about 420 right now and I know I’m feelin’ great. If you’re feelin it too, you don’t have to say or do anything- you’re dialed. Now, a little more about the podcast- in addition to talking about all things green and stinky and how to smoke it, we like to get weird.  And by “we” I do mean me most of the time, although as you’ll hopefully come to find out I am fortunate to have already had the occasional, amazing guest sit down, to share a session and usually a story! These conversations cover topics mysterious and paranormal. At times I find myself exploring subjects philosophical or spiritual. Quite often, I dig in, with a gleam in my eye that’s not only the weed- and chop it up with you about some fantastic thing or another that our more shall we say “would be upstanding” friends and neighbors, certainly family members, might very well like to label “Crazy Conspiracy Talk”. I’ve done episodes about The Maury Island Incident, You may know it as Vashon Island- and the UFO sighted there in in 1947, that was said to have dropped hot molten slag on to an innocent Logging Salvage Boat Crew below, killing a dog.  We have talked about the Martha Washington School for Insane Girls in South Lake Washington. NOT a myth! How about the tragic and downright strange circumstances of the deaths of Bruce and Brandon Lee, both interred in Seattle just North of Capitol Hill.. Heck, we even took a two episode look into the bottomless and baffling  Mel’s Hole, way out in Pullman WA-  and if you haven’t heard of Mel’s Hole, lemme tell ya- it’s a HECK of a story.. So for those of you coming to it for the first time today, again- thanks for being here!  ...And you’ve got a lot of catching up to do so I suggest you pull your phones out and find Baked and Awake right now in your itunes or your Spotify or whatever you’re using, and subscribe to the show before you get distracted by another full sized, 3D Printed, transforming Optimus Prime cosplay (I’m not mad!)- because you’ve got like 52 episodes to listen to, not counting this one!  Finally, when this podcast is over, I’ll be hanging out in the hall for a few minutes to say hello, and hand out stickers, if you’re into that. And now, my introduction to the notion that there is a strong, persistent custom that exists among the writers and artists responsible for the creation of most of the Comic, Graphic Novel, Video, and Big Screen content we consume, to perpetuate the impression on to us, everywhere a series of archetypal mythological personages, histories, and hidden teachings in the form of thinly and sometimes not so thinly veiled imagery, symbolism, language, etc. This Programming spans languages and cultures, religions and examples can be found all over the world- we’ll keep it western for our purposes. It is my contention- and I am in no way claiming to be the first or even the fifty thousandth person to draw some of these parallels- that this umbrella theme has been here since the instantiation of well, who knows probably the Gutenberg printing press, but lets stay a bit more topical and say around the dawn of Comic Books, and soon after that, as color and first makeup effects and then Special on screen effects really began to take off- Hollywood and Feature film production in particular.  Prior to the era of the talkies, movies were shorter and had limited or no recorded audio, therefore they were severely limited in the scope of stories they could portray in a worthwhile treatment. One medium that WAS up to the challenge though, back then was Comic Books! Comics, and their forebears’ Pulp Magazines, were the original playground for the fertile imaginations of many of the writers who would go on to populate the Movies’ later worlds of Creature Features, Alien Invasion Horrors, and Wizards and Warlocks. Stories of High Espionage and Intrigue were also popular tales for the early Comics and Pulps, and let us not forget the Paranormal, Bigfoot, and Ghost Stories, with all of the aforementioned story types finding themselves intermingling and overlapping deeply with each other along the way.. The roles played today by Comic Books, big budget, special effects fueled Hollywood Movies, and to an increasing extent, our ever more immersive video games, is one of social psychology and social engineering, in my opinion. Whether this psychology is benevolent or malevolent in nature is highly subjective. Digression.  “Alright, But Steve”, you say- “what do you think we are being engineered for, Bro? I mean, it’s not like there’s really a secret cabal of international One Percent of the One Percenters, Banksters and Satan worshipping, apolitical Kabillionaires running the entire world from shadowy private island fortresses and off grid underground bunkers, right?!” “I mean, you don’t mean to sit here and tell me you think the United States took and expatriated thousands of Nazi Officers of the modern day STEM career path persuasion, folding them into american intelligence and science agencies all over the country in the wake of WWII, giving many of them new names and biographies in the process, and setting up more than a few of them in palatial, secluded estates the likes of which would make Bill Gates jealous, some of them maybe right in his own back yard? I am of course going straight for the deep end, though nowhere near the bottom of the pool, with references to Operation Paperclip. The disclosure of awareness of alternate histories, alien contact, the belief in and practice of occult rituals into the modern era by some of the seeming most elite layers of society, corporate, and the worlds of Church and State- has BEEN going on right in front of our eyes since the dawn of both comics and the film industry- yes even in the silent movies that I just said didn’t matter. Back around then, as we said in those early 40’s and 50’s, Golden and Silver age titles like Amazing Stories, Science Fiction Stories, Weird Tales, more parochial seeming straight up wholesome comic book titles like Superman, Wonder Woman, Captain America, and so many others paraded all the old Gods and Titans before us, either by their historic names or by some clever semantics, names that nevertheless mean the same thing. That’s right, we need not dig into independently published, gritty, black and white comics by edgy writers nobody’s heard of outside of this room.  No indeed, we need simply cast our eyes about us and look at just about any example of the arts you care to take the most casual of looks into, and we will see that they are rife with imagery, iconography, and symbolism that, once they begin to be revealed, can hardly be missed anywhere you see it.. “Modern” Movies have been hogging a lot of the spotlight from comics, going all the way back to dusty old features like The Day The Earth Stood Still or War of the Worlds, itself adapted from a live radio broadcast in 1938 by Orson Wells, which was in turn adapted from a 19th century story by the same name written by H.G. Wells. Fueled by these and many stories like them in comics, radio, and TV as well as feature films, The Alien Scare was on. And yet to this day, 80 years hence, no Little Green Men have landed on the White House Lawn, that we know of.. To date myself a bit while bringing the sci fi analogy a little nearer to my heart- I am of the generation that grew up on the OG STAR WARS.. I know- movie. Doesn’t matter. Because can I really look out on this crowd and expect to be telling absolutely any of you for the first time ever, that much of the Star Wars Mythology is rumored to be tied to the real, ancient history of our own Solar System and indeed, Galaxy? Of course not. Iapetus So, back to that why.   The why is this. Comics along with their counterparts, middle and long form graphic novels, and in an adjacent dimension things like Anime/CG Features and Many types of video games, movies and TV in all its modern streaming forms (Gravity Falls, Anyone?)- ancient meta myths are again and again encoded back into our minds, hearts, and souls. This, that we may not lose a crucially important, impossible to contain, largley made up but nevertheless true history of Human Kind.  Encompassed within this True, living history of Humanity, are all the warnings our ancestors have left behind for us, and every virtue they likewise recognized. Distilling these virtues into Heroes and Anti-Heroes. Titans, Gods, Saints and Demigods- they are our first exemplars of a conflicted soul, beings who often embody two equally compelling, to themselves virtuous (Because what Bad Actor really thinks they are the Villian?) halves, intent on the destruction of the other half with a righteous conviction.  The themes, personalities, and depth of the timelines of Earth’s deep historical mysteries lends itself beautifully to being told out in bits and pieces, over a course of years, right inside the richly expressive visual medium of Comics. You’re seeing images I’m sharing on the screen with you now, some from film sure, but these days these realms intermingle as much as the story genres listed earlier did in the pages of magazines with names like “Tales of Amazement”. (Pause) I also brought books from my own collection today, sitting on this table before me that I barely had to go digging into to come up with examples that corroborate this entire argument. We’re don’t have time for them today but trust me when I say they are in your collections as well. Speaking of which, Some of you are, no doubt, thinking of examples in your own life of the different “Glitch in the Matrix” moments you may have been fortunate enough to experience, when some book, movie, game or another cracked a whole new fissure open up in your mind, sending you to another layer, a new level of your own journey into the explorations of questions like “Why are these myths repeated everywhere to this day?” “How can a materialistic, -not in that way! Secular, scientific leaning, western educated person rationally deal with the fact that the harder and harder we push the boundaries of conventional physics, they always get wonky and break down spectacularly in the end. Or at least our calculations do- This is especially true when we try to conceptualize any means of moving about the universe at any appreciable percentage of the speed of light.  Despite being an apparent vacuum, we’re unable to figure out how to accelerate a ship of any size, even that of a BB, through space up to even a few tenths of a percentage point of the speed of light. Again, you can research that yourselves, we’ve all got supercomputers in our pockets. The point is that this limitation has always been held up to us by Scientists, the Media, etc as the reason nobody has ever journeyed here even if there were Intelligent Alien life out there. Oh, and of course, everybody knows there’s nobody out there, amirite? OK. Pretty sure we only have 30 minutes today and that’s fine! We’re just having a peek, right? A primer, if it can even be called that. We’re pondering this thing together that we’ve already identified, and we should keep doing so, in my opinion. Now, let’s list off a few more strictly comic book based examples of heavy amounts of disclosure or symbolism right off the top of my head as I write the following listicle, I’m kidding it’s just a list- I just like saying listicle- and sort of categorize them under their general theme or themes. Superman- Ultimate Male Physical and Moral Archetype, Western Edition. Is nevertheless an alien, and hails from a mysterious world with its own eerie mythology. Space Hercules, if you will. Savior type figure. Wonder Woman- Sculpted from clay by her mother Hippolyta, Wonder Woman is the Super Powered Princess of a race of themselves fearsome warrior women, the Amazons. The Amazon race has Atlantean roots according to the Wonder Woman mythology. Her name, Diana- tells us she is God like, harkening back to the Roman Goddess Diana, known to the Greeks before that as Artemis, Goddess of Hunting and childbirth.   Thor- Greatest of  Warriors, The Norse God of Thunder, Son of Odin and Brother to Loki, the trickster, archetypical joker and dark sorcerer of one of the world’s oldest pantheons.   Finally, The Watchmen- Costumed Not Actually Super Heroes exist in a world that has Incarcerated, “retired”, or subjugated them into service for “The Man”. A few holdouts, diminished Has Beens to a one, must fight for their own liberty while saving The World from one of their own. Key archetypes include Dr. Manhattan, a Quantum Being, a shapeshifting and teleporting Man-God. Moloch, an arch villain with the name of a Dark God and a Demonic physical aspect. Ozymandias- the groups Erstwhile former “Captain”, and ultimate Foe, whose very name is the Greek label for the Pharaoh Ramses II Huh- looking back up at that now, it is kind of a listicle! We could go on.  I don’t think we have the time however, and I like to think the point has almost been made. Call me what you must, but if you’ve sat here with me this long, and as I type these words I don’t know if I’ll be sitting here alone by now or perhaps this entire time-  but I hope you’ll call me a friend- I’m asking you to keep looking at the symbols. Keep finding the hidden subtext that’s layered into every book you love so much, somewhere. Because it’s there for a reason, it’s performing its job, and it is in service to us all.  Wait- what? Isn’t this the part where you’re supposed to warn us away from all this pagan and paranormal -that we haven’t even scratched the surface of- bullshit and go to church, Steve?! Nah Fam, I’m saying there’s mountains of material out there, a lot of it bad, much of it wildly inaccurate even when well intentioned. That’s ok though, you can handle all that!  Just keep reading. And maybe, keep listening. But don’t forget to also sit a while in reflection, too.. And always remember to smoke indica, and do shit anyway.

The Erstwhile might be a class 9 sublight cargo freighter using the same studio model as half the freighters in the Star Trek universe with a lonely crew of one, but when that crew member is none other than the outrageous Okona, you know you're in for a good time. Do Klingons ever have man buns? Does bad boy Jake have what it takes to be an acting ensign? Can the USS Hood handle Lt. Robinson's non-nonsense attitude and highly reflective lip gloss? Watch out! It's an episode we kept under 80 minutes!

During the antebellum period, Americans went crazy for coral, using it in jewelry and medicine, referencing it in art and literature, and adopting it as a metaphor for understanding the complexity and interconnectedness of the natural world. We speak with scholar Michele Navakas about America's erstwhile fascination with coral and coral reefs. Along the way, Michelle shares a discovery she recently made in our collection: a song by "Mary Had a Little Lamb" author Sarah Josepha Hale that holds coral up as a lens through which to view both nature and human society. --- (Intro music: "Two Types of Awakenings" by Nheap; other music: "The Coral Branch" by Sarah Josepha Hale, performed by Ian Crockett and Gene Navakas) --- Learn more at http://www.michelenavakas.com/thecoralbranch/

We give our diagnosis of Medical Center, a mid-70s version of that TV staple, the medical drama. Erstwhile and well-dressed Dr. Gannon (Chad Everett) wants to do his job and help a young woman (Meredith Baxter), but she believes in her faith healer husband David (BOTNS fav. and ex-evangelist Marjoe Gortner!). David's father Harmon urges them to have faith...and keep the machine going...but will medicine or faith ultimately save the day? Find out this and more, but mostly listen to us talk about ~MARGOE~!

This week we cover a usual assortment of topics. Jeff Loomis not being allowed to write for Arch Enemy, Thom Yorke and Roger Waters going at it about Israel, Soundcloud being on the verge of death, kind of, the new Enslaved single, and this interesting op-ed from WSJ about how negative music reviews have disappeared.

Believe it or not, but hiding a young woman on a vessel full of sailors all barely capable of completing their own ship duties is easier than it sounds. Leon continues to protect Isae, as more and more sailors continue to fail recognizing her as anything less than the captain’s cabin boy they forgot was on board to start with. At least one of the crew is too concerned with the contraband he smuggled out of the Degrading Lands to care. Erstwhile, two new sailors find a place and purpose aboard the ship. Quessy and Garou, two refugees recovered from the Degrading Lands, assume their duties with grand vigor. Quessy, an enternainer. Garou, moving man sized barrels over each shoulder. The Degrading Lands were indeed kind to the Duquetimme. There’s a new ship on the horizon. This one, however, waves a neutral, foreign flag: a trade vessel of the distant desert land of Xexoria seeks a meeting at sea . . . Zach is the Slender Man PLAYERS James – Edouard Fasson. Doctor, cook, etc. Alex – Louis Jalbert. Part-time merchant and full-time scumbag. Zach – Marshall Yaeger, late twenties. Scout and marksman. Matt – Leon Donnelly. Midshipman, navigator, shipwright, and jack of all trades. Charlie – Christian Kavan. Cook and gentleman adventurer. Has the approximate size, shape, and mustache of a walrus. Kevin – Carey Ignacious, the dreamy first mate. The post Ship of Fools Session 4 – The World at Large appeared first on The Drunk and The Ugly.
