Happy Spooky Wednesday, dear listeners! This week is a classic style haunting as Brittany tells us all about the West Virginia Penitentiary AKA the Moundsville Penitentiary. With just under 1,000 documented deaths in the prison's history, it is no surprise that some spirits still lurk here long after operations have stopped. It's now a tourist attraction, museum, training facility, and filming location - people have experienced all sorts of paranormal activity within its walls. You may encounter the Shadow Man, who is believed to be a former prisoner and is said to be able to disappear through walls. Or you could feel the icy cold breath of the faceless man on your neck as he approaches you. There are other classic haunting signs as well, such as apparitions, cold spots, and strange noises. Would you dare take one of their haunted tours and experience the haunting for yourself?

Our exploration reveals an interesting mix of tension, humor, and personal drama among the hosts Rem, Randy, and Ray, as they navigate the complex landscape of friendship, rivalry, and entertainment. The first striking element is the palpable disorganization leading up to the 300th episode, highlighted by Randy's frantic energy and the contrasting frustration of his co-hosts. Rem's candid admissions of chaos—calling the show a "farce" and expressing deep frustration at the disarray—paint a vivid picture of the intense feelings surrounding the milestone. This chaotic backdrop sets the stage for a variety of conflicts and tensions that emerge as jokes turn personal, particularly in the context of an Italian Hall of Fame. This particular segment escalates rapidly, with Randy unleashing a torrent of anger over perceived slights towards his Italian heritage. His theatrical reaction highlights vulnerabilities tied to identity and insecurity, showcasing how the personal battles often bleed into their comedic exchanges. Barry's presence only exacerbates the situation as her biting comments provoke strong reactions—her adeptness at infusing chaos into the already fragile dynamics reveals her role as an antagonist. As we sift through the raw material, the internal struggles become evident; Rem and Ray's frustration at Randy's chaotic methods underscores a deeper rift that questions each host's roles and the overall structure of the show. Their references to Twitter distractions and emotional drama hint at an ongoing power struggle, revealing the hosts' differing views on what constitutes a successful episode. Beneath the surface humor lies profound self-awareness, self-sabotage, and the hidden burdens each host carries, which illuminate their interactions. Randy's anecdotes about his upbringing resonate with themes of loss and familial tensions, while Rem's reflections on friendship encapsulate the fragility of their relationships in the face of chaos. Unanticipated secrets add intriguing layers to this tapestry of conflict. The bizarre voicemail questioning Randy about a past indiscretion exposes a vulnerability that diverges sharply from the show's comedic front. Furthermore, revelations about artistic betrayal and past roles—like the intention to replace Rem with Cody—reveal a rich backstory that affects their current dynamics. Ultimately, the 300th episode exemplifies the chaos that can unfold when personal insecurities and group dynamics clash, revealing not just what it means to put on a show, but the profound emotional realities that often accompany public performances. The ensuing narrative highlights the human experience behind the laughter, showcasing the intricate web of personal histories, rivalries, and emotional stakes that make up any collaborative effort. As we conclude this deep dive, one lingering question remains: how many hidden narratives exist beneath the surface of our daily interactions, and what can they reveal about the people within them? This episode invites us to listen more deeply, recognizing that every performance—no matter how polished—holds within it the potential for profound human stories waiting to be uncovered.

“Succession” creator Jesse Armstrong's latest work, a ripped-from-the-headlines sendup of tech billionaires called “Mountainhead,” is arguably an extension of his over-all project: making the ultra-wealthy look fallible, unglamorous, and often flat-out amoral. On this episode of Critics at Large, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz discuss how the new movie draws on the tech oligarchs we've come to know in real life, and consider the special place that the über-rich have held in the American imagination since the days of Edith Wharton and Upton Sinclair. How has the rise of such figures as Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg changed our conception? And, as they've become more present in our daily lives—and more cartoonishly powerful—is it even possible to satirize them? “I think now that job is more important and also harder to do for artists,” says Schwartz, “simply because the culture is so enraptured with wealth."Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“Mountainhead” (2025)“Succession” (2018-23)“Oil!,” by Upton Sinclair“There Will Be Blood” (2007)“Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous” (1984-95)“Three Faces of American Capitalism: Buffett, Musk, and Trump,” by John Cassidy (The New Yorker)“Joe Rogan, Hasan Piker, and the Art of the Hang” (The New Yorker)“On the Campaign Trail, Elon Musk Juggled Drugs and Family Drama,” by Kirsten Grind and Megan Twohey (The New York Times)New episodes drop every Thursday.

This week, I got to talk with Kristen L. Berry about her debut mystery thriller We Don't Talk About Carol! We dive into Kristen's writing process, the inspiration for the story, and how one person can still make little differences against systemic oppressors.We Don't Talk About Carol SynopsisA dedicated journalist unearths a generations-old family secret—and a connection to a string of missing girls that hits way too close to home—in this gripping debut novel.In the wake of her grandmother's passing, Sydney Singleton finds a hidden photograph of a little girl who looks more like Sydney than her own sister, or mother. She soon discovers the mystery girl in the photograph is her aunt, Carol, who was one of six local North Carolina Black girls to go missing in the 1960s. For the last several decades, not a soul has talked about Carol or what really happened to her. With her grandmother gone and Sydney looking to start a family of her own, she is determined to unravel the truth behind her long-lost aunt and the sinister silence surrounding her.Unfortunately, this is familiar territory for Sydney. Several years prior, working the crime beat as a journalist on the case of another missing girl, her obsession eventually led to a psychotic break. And now, in the suffocating grip of fertility treatments and a marriage that's beginning to crumble, Sydney's relentless pursuit might just lead her down the same path of destruction. As she delves deeper into Carol's fate, her own troubled past resurfaces, clawing its way to the surface with a vengeance. The web of secrets and lies entangling her family leaves Sydney questioning everything—her fixation on the missing girls, her future as a mom, and everyone she's come to trust.Delving into family, community, secrets, and motherhood, We Don't Talk About Carol is a gripping and deeply emotional story about overcoming the rotten roots of your family tree—and what we'll do for those we love.

Fluent Fiction - Swedish: Casting Votes & Traditions: A Swedish National Day Tale Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/sv/episode/2025-05-31-22-34-02-sv Story Transcript:Sv: Solen sken över den livfulla bytorget.En: The sun shone over the lively village square.Sv: Svenska flaggor fladdrade i den milda vårbrisen.En: Svenska flags fluttered in the gentle spring breeze.Sv: Dagarna var ljusare och festligare, för den svenska nationaldagen närmade sig.En: The days were brighter and more festive, as the svenska nationaldagen approached.Sv: Olle stoppade upp för ett ögonblick och tog ett djupt andetag.En: Olle paused for a moment and took a deep breath.Sv: Han kände en blandning av stolthet och lite nervositet.En: He felt a mix of pride and a bit of nervousness.Sv: Idag var en viktig dag av två anledningar: det var hans första lokala val att rösta i, och hans dotter Klara hade just tagit studenten.En: Today was an important day for two reasons: it was his first local election to vote in, and his daughter Klara had just graduated.Sv: Hon stod bredvid honom, klädd i den traditionella studentmössan, med ett brett leende och en krans av blommor runt halsen.En: She stood next to him, dressed in the traditional graduation cap, with a broad smile and a garland of flowers around her neck.Sv: "Pappa, jag kan inte vänta med att fira med mina vänner," sa Klara, ögonen glittrande av förväntan.En: "Dad, I can't wait to celebrate with my friends," Klara said, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.Sv: Olle log, men hans hjärta bar på en tyngd.En: Olle smiled, but his heart carried a weight.Sv: Han ville så gärna visa Klara hur viktigt det var att rösta.En: He wanted so much to show Klara how important it was to vote.Sv: På andra sidan torget stod Maja, Olles mor.En: On the other side of the square stood Maja, Olle's mother.Sv: Hon hade varit med om många val.En: She had experienced many elections.Sv: Hennes visdom var en skatt, och hennes historier kunde fascillera vilken lyssnare som helst.En: Her wisdom was a treasure, and her stories could fascinate any listener.Sv: "Kom, vi går till vallokalen först," föreslog Olle försiktigt.En: "Come, let's go to the polling station first," suggested Olle gently.Sv: Klara såg tveksamt på honom.En: Klara looked at him hesitantly.Sv: "Men pappa, jag vill inte missa studentfesten," svarade hon och såg lockad ut mot sina vänner som vinkade från ett hörn.En: "But dad, I don't want to miss the graduation party," she replied, glancing longingly at her friends waving from a corner.Sv: Maja närmade sig dem, hennes steg lugna och stadiga.En: Maja approached them, her steps calm and steady.Sv: "Klara, när jag var ung, betydde valet frihet och förändring.En: "Klara, when I was young, the election meant freedom and change.Sv: Jag hoppas du en dag kan känna samma sak," sa hon med en varm röst.En: I hope you can feel the same one day," she said with a warm voice.Sv: Olles hjärta mjuknade, men han höll fast vid sin övertygelse.En: Olle's heart softened, but he remained firm in his conviction.Sv: "Jag lovar, vi kommer att fira stort efteråt," sa han till Klara.En: "I promise, we'll celebrate big afterwards," he told Klara.Sv: "Men just nu vill jag att du ser vad det innebär att rösta."En: "But right now, I want you to see what it means to vote."Sv: Tillsammans gick de mot den lilla röda byggnaden i mitten av torget.En: Together they walked toward the small red building in the middle of the square.Sv: Det var en kö av människor som väntade, och stämningen var förväntansfull.En: There was a line of people waiting, and the atmosphere was expectant.Sv: Olle såg ner på Klara och sa, "Vet du varför den svenska nationaldagen är viktig, inte bara som en fest?"En: Olle looked down at Klara and said, "Do you know why the svenska nationaldagen is important, not just as a festivity?"Sv: Klara skakade på huvudet.En: Klara shook her head.Sv: Olle fortsatte: "Vi firar demokratins och röstningens betydelse.En: Olle continued, "We celebrate the importance of democracy and voting.Sv: Det är att uttrycka vår åsikt och påverka framtiden."En: It's about expressing our opinion and influencing the future."Sv: I det ögonblicket såg Klara rösten i ett nytt ljus.En: In that moment, Klara saw voting in a new light.Sv: Hon sneglade mot sina vänner igen men stannade sedan beslutsamt bredvid sin pappa.En: She glanced at her friends again but then resolutely stayed by her dad's side.Sv: "Okej, pappa," sa hon leende, "jag vill rösta med dig."En: "Okay, dad," she said smiling, "I want to vote with you."Sv: Medan de röstade tillsammans i den lilla vallokalen, såg Klara stolt på när Olle förklarade valsedlarna och processen.En: As they voted together in the small polling station, Klara looked on proudly as Olle explained the ballots and the process.Sv: När de var klara, kände hon en glädje som inte bara var för studenten, utan för att ha delat något viktigt med sin far.En: When they were finished, she felt a joy not just for graduation, but also for sharing something important with her father.Sv: När de steg ut ur lokalen sken solen fortfarande, ännu ljusare än förut.En: As they stepped out of the polling station, the sun still shone, even brighter than before.Sv: Olle lade armen om Klara och sa, "Du har nu röstat i ditt första val.En: Olle put his arm around Klara and said, "You've now voted in your first election.Sv: Nu är du redo för både livet och fest."En: Now you're ready for both life and celebration."Sv: Klara log och kramade sin far.En: Klara smiled and hugged her father.Sv: Maja, som hade växlat några ord med en gammal vän, anslöt sig till dem.En: Maja, who had exchanged a few words with an old friend, joined them.Sv: Med en blick full av stolthet sa hon, "Du gjorde rätt, Olle.En: With a look full of pride, she said, "You did the right thing, Olle.Sv: Och du visar redan vishet, Klara."En: And you're already showing wisdom, Klara."Sv: Med ett hjärta fyllt av gemensam förståelse gick de tillsammans, redo att både fira och ära det som verkligen betydde.En: With hearts full of mutual understanding, they walked together, ready to both celebrate and honor what truly mattered.

Yuki reasoned in a calm voice.Ja: 「将来のためにも、現実的な選択じゃないかな。」En: "Isn't it a realistic choice for the future?"Ja: 列が前に進むにつれて、ヒロシは考え込むように口を閉じた。En: As the line moved forward, Hiroshi closed his mouth thoughtfully.Ja: 「わかってる。でも、思い出がたくさん詰まってる家だよ」と彼は静かに言った。En: "I understand, but it's a house full of memories," he said quietly.Ja: ユキもまた、家を渡すことに躊躇がないわけではなかった。En: Yuki also wasn't entirely without hesitation about handing over the house.Ja: 「実は、私もあの家を恋しく思うことがある。En: "Actually, I do feel nostalgic about that house.Ja: ねえ、覚えてる？En: Hey, do you remember?Ja: あの庭でピクニックしたこと、桜の木の下で。”と彼女は目を細め、懐かしい記憶を話し出した。En: Those picnics in the garden, under the sakura tree," she said, narrowing her eyes as she began to recount the fond memories.Ja: ヒロシは驚いた。En: Hiroshi was surprised.Ja: 「ユキがそんなこと言うなんて…」彼は姉の話に耳を傾け、共感していることを感じた。En: "I didn't expect you to say that..." He listened to his sister's story, feeling a sense of empathy.Ja: 「でも、それでも？」En: "But even so?"Ja: それでも、ユキは「私も家のことを忘れることはできないけど、今が家族全体にとって大事な時期だから、もう少し考えたほうがいいと思う」と彼を優しく説得する。En: Even so, Yuki gently persuaded him, "I can't forget about the house either, but since it's an important time for the whole family now, I think we should consider it a bit more."Ja: ヒロシは黙りこくる。En: Hiroshi fell silent.Ja: そして、しばらく考えた後、頷いた。En: After thinking for some time, he nodded.Ja: 「お姉ちゃんがそう言うなら、もう少し考える時間を持とう」と言い、自分の感情と思慮を同時に抱くことを初めて認識した。En: "If you say so, onee-chan, let's take more time to think," he said, realizing for the first time the simultaneous embrace of his emotions and thoughtfulness.Ja: 列はさらに前進し、投票所の入り口が見えてきた。En: The line moved further forward, and the entrance to the polling station came into view.Ja: ユキは安堵の笑みを浮かべ、「投票が終わったら、両親とじっくり話そう」と提案した。En: Yuki let out a relieved smile and proposed, "Once the voting is over, let's have a thorough conversation with our parents."Ja: ヒロシもまた微笑み返す。En: Hiroshi also returned her smile.Ja: 「わかった。En: "Got it.Ja: 思い出と現実のバランスを取らなきゃね。」En: We have to balance memories and reality, right?"Ja: 二人は新たな決意を胸に、前へと歩み出した。En: The two stepped forward with a new resolve.Ja: 彼らの間には、より深い理解が生まれていた。En: Between them, a deeper understanding had been born.

This week, I got to talk with Tori Eldridge about her newest novel Kaua'i Storm. Tori shares the inspiration for the book, how her settings matter so much to her, and how this book had her personally invested in nailing the culture.Kaua'i Storm SynopsisReturning to Kaua‘i, park ranger Makalani finds her family divided and their way of life at risk in this rich and emotional adventure by the bestselling author of the Lily Wong series.After ten years as a national park ranger in Oregon, Makalani Pahukula is back on Kaua‘i for her grandmother's birthday. Having been gone for so long, Makalani finds the disconnect with her people and her struggles have never been more profound. Neither has her need to reacquaint herself with everything she left behind. When she reaches the homestead, she finds a bickering family and the disconcerting news that her cousins—a failed college football player and a rebellious teenage girl—have gone missing.Makalani hopes they just ran off, too careless to realize the worry they've caused. But when hunters find a dead body in the Keālia Forest Reserve, Makalani fears something ominous is at play, and the search for her cousins grows more desperate. Although her help may not be welcomed by family and locals, Makalani is determined to solve a mystery that poses a greater risk than anyone imagines.The investigation will open her heart, reawaken her love for the land she calls home, and strengthen her bond with her family. Because no matter how long she's been away, for Makalani, Hawai‘i is in her blood.

Fluent Fiction - Dutch: Bram's Spring Awakening: Love, Aging, and New Beginnings Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/nl/episode/2025-05-18-22-34-02-nl Story Transcript:Nl: Op een frisse lentedag, toen de zon voorzichtig door de bladeren van de bomen prikte, rook de straat naar bloemen en vers gemaaid gras.En: On a brisk spring day, when the sun cautiously poked through the leaves of the trees, the street smelled of flowers and freshly cut grass.Nl: In deze rustige buurt stond een oud huis, met rode bakstenen en witte kozijnen.En: In this quiet neighborhood stood an old house, with red bricks and white window frames.Nl: Hier woonde Bram, een gepensioneerde architect.En: Here lived Bram, a retired architect.Nl: Hij hield van wandelen en genoot ervan om in zijn tuin te werken.En: He loved walking and enjoyed working in his garden.Nl: Maar die dag voelde alles anders voor hem.En: But that day, everything felt different for him.Nl: Bram was ouder aan het worden.En: Bram was getting older.Nl: Zijn handen trilden soms, en hij werd sneller moe.En: His hands sometimes trembled, and he became tired more quickly.Nl: Hoewel hij wist dat ouder worden onvermijdelijk was, wilde hij vooral zijn onafhankelijkheid behouden.En: Although he knew that aging was inevitable, he primarily wanted to maintain his independence.Nl: Hij wilde niemand tot last zijn, zeker niet zijn dochter Anouk.En: He didn't want to be a burden on anyone, especially not his daughter Anouk.Nl: Maar Anouk maakte zich zorgen.En: But Anouk was worried.Nl: Ze zag dat hij zwakker werd en dat baarde haar zorgen.En: She saw that he was getting weaker, and that concerned her.Nl: Op een ochtend, terwijl de vogels zongen en de bloemen opengingen, liep Anouk de oprit op naar het huis van haar vader.En: One morning, as the birds sang and the flowers opened up, Anouk walked up the driveway to her father's house.Nl: Ze voelde dat er iets mis was.En: She felt that something was wrong.Nl: Bram had haar eerder een kopje thee beloofd en hij was nooit iemand om afspraken te vergeten.En: Bram had promised her a cup of tea earlier, and he was never one to forget appointments.Nl: Toen ze aankwam, zag ze hem bleek en hijgend in zijn stoel zitten.En: When she arrived, she saw him pale and panting in his chair.Nl: Hij lachte flauwtjes en probeerde haar gerust te stellen.En: He gave a faint smile and tried to reassure her.Nl: Maar Anouk kon de ernst in zijn ogen zien.En: But Anouk could see the seriousness in his eyes.Nl: "Pap, we moeten Lotte bellen," zei Anouk dringend.En: "Pap, we need to call Lotte," said Anouk urgently.Nl: Bram protesteerde.En: Bram protested.Nl: "Ik wil niemand lastigvallen, Anouk.En: "I don't want to bother anyone, Anouk.Nl: Het gaat wel over."En: It will pass."Nl: Maar Anouk was vastberaden.En: But Anouk was determined.Nl: Ze belde Lotte, de dokter in de buurt, die altijd klaar stond om te helpen.En: She called Lotte, the neighborhood doctor, who was always ready to help.Nl: Lotte kende de familie goed en maakte zich net als Anouk zorgen over Bram.En: Lotte knew the family well and, like Anouk, was worried about Bram.Nl: Toen Lotte arriveerde, maakte haar aanwezigheid de situatie serieuzer.En: When Lotte arrived, her presence made the situation more serious.Nl: Ze voelde de spanning tussen vader en dochter.En: She sensed the tension between father and daughter.Nl: Bram gaf toe dat hij zich al dagen niet goed voelde, maar hij wilde niet dat iemand zich zorgen maakte.En: Bram admitted that he hadn't felt well for days, but he didn't want anyone to worry.Nl: De situatie werd plotseling kritiek toen Bram tijdens het gesprek in elkaar zakte.En: The situation suddenly became critical when Bram collapsed during the conversation.Nl: Alles ging snel.En: Everything happened quickly.Nl: Lotte handelde professioneel, maar met een zachtmoedige vastberadenheid.En: Lotte acted professionally but with a gentle determination.Nl: Ze nam direct actie, terwijl Anouk de handen van haar vader vasthield.En: She took immediate action, while Anouk held her father's hands.Nl: Na de eerste behandeling op straat, waarvoor een ambulance arriveerde, voelde Bram zich beter.En: After the initial treatment on the street, for which an ambulance arrived, Bram felt better.Nl: De lentegeuren van de straat boven de sirenes boden enige troost.En: The spring scents of the street above the sirens provided some comfort.Nl: In het ziekenhuis besefte Bram dat het ontvangen van hulp niet betekende dat hij zijn onafhankelijkheid verloor.En: In the hospital, Bram realized that accepting help didn't mean he was losing his independence.Nl: Hij zag de bezorgdheid in de ogen van Anouk en voelde veeleer verbondenheid dan verlies.En: He saw the concern in Anouk's eyes and felt more connected than lost.Nl: "Weten jullie," zei Bram zachtjes, "ik denk dat jullie gelijk hadden."En: "You know," Bram said softly, "I think you were right."Nl: Anouk glimlachte en kneep zijn hand.En: Anouk smiled and squeezed his hand.Nl: "Samen kunnen we alles aan, pap."En: "Together, we can handle anything, Pap."Nl: Lotte zag naar de familie.En: Lotte looked at the family.Nl: Ze had gedaan wat juist was, niet enkel als dokter maar ook als mens.En: She had done what was right, not just as a doctor, but also as a human being.Nl: Ze besefte dat zorg niet alleen om gezondheid draaide, maar ook om liefde en begrip.En: She realized that care wasn't just about health but also about love and understanding.Nl: Daar, in de warme lentezon, wist Bram dat hij niet alleen was.En: There, in the warm spring sun, Bram knew he was not alone.Nl: De wereld bleef in bloei en hij zou voortaan wat meer steun toelaten.En: The world remained in bloom, and from now on, he would allow a bit more support.Nl: Die gedachten brachten rust.En: Those thoughts brought peace.Nl: En zo gingen ze samen verder, in een buurt waar de bloemen nog altijd bloeiden en de liefde sterk was.En: And so they moved forward together, in a neighborhood where the flowers still bloomed and love was strong.
