Once upon a time, a homeschool father dreamed of helping his children grow their love for writing. So while he worked for 20 years as a computer geek, he also trained to create fantastical fiction. Then, after hundreds of rejections, he broke through with his tale of two young teens who discover their secret ancestries: Dragons in Our Midst. Since then, Bryan Davis has won the trust of thousands of fans with more tales in this world, plus supernatural thrillers and superhero stories. Today we invite Bryan into our own cozy cave to explore how families can teach truth in fantasy this school year and beyond. Episode sponsors Enclave Publishing: Winter's Dawn by Morgan L. Busse Realm Makers fundraiser for ongoing defamation lawsuit The Talismiths: The Secret Saboteur by M. L. Hodder King Justice: The Legend Begins by Evelyn M. Exley Mission update New at Lorehaven: new review coming this Friday Subscribe free to get updates and join the Lorehaven Guild Backstory: Bryan Davis After working as a computer geek for 20 years, Bryan followed a dream to become an author. He began by writing a story to motivate his seven children to gain some excitement about writing, and that story grew into a novel. After spending the next eight years learning the craft and enduring more than 200 rejections from publishers and agents, he broke through with his best-selling series Dragons in our Midst. He is now a full-time author and lives with his wife, Susie, and their children. Bryan Davis is the author of the following series: Dragons in our Midst, Oracles of Fire, Children of the Bard, Astral Alliance, Wanted: Superheroes, The Oculus Gate, Reapers, Time Echoes, Tales of Starlight, Dragons of Starlight, Falcon's Quest, Save the Multiverse, Not-So-Famous Dog Tales, and Not-So-Famous Dragon Tales. His standalone novels are Let the Ghosts Speak and I Know Why the Angels Dance. For more information, see his website at DavisCrossing.com. 1. How a ‘geek' learned to make new worlds Surveying Bryan's journey to biblical truth and fantastical stories. Recalling the early 2000s era for Christian-made fantasy fiction. His series Dragons in Our Midst broke through to new realities. These portal fantasy tales show wholesome yet human heroes. 2. Winning the hearts of homeschool fans Bryan and his wife Susie homeschooled their seven children. Later, Bryan found ready readers in the homeschool community. Some may still believe these readers aren't open to fantasy fiction. Yet many skeptics grew to enjoy tales of magic and superheroes. 3. Forging new worlds beyond dragon tales Bryan may be known for dragons, yet he's found many portals. His Wanted: Superheroes series appeals to middle grade readers. And his Time Echoes series reaches teen/YA fantasy fans. The Oculus Gate series enters apocalyptic supernatural thriller. Com station Top question for listeners If you found portals to new realities, which one would you try first—fantasy, superheroes, or apocalyptic supernatural thriller? Next on Fantastical Truth As students return to school, some can't help dreading their assigned books. Even good readers in good schools will feel burdened by reading classic novels. So how can we remind ourselves and others that we're not made to read as a duty to adults, but made for reading as part of our joy in Christ? Katherine Briggs, author of The Threshold Duology and one of the upcoming Classics Rebooted novels, will teach us how fantasy fans can learn to love timeless classic fiction.

In this episode of The Collective Table, Jenell Coker continues Oceanside Sanctuary Church's series on David with the familiar story of David and Goliath—but invites us to look beyond the simple “little guy defeats the giant” version of the story. Jenell begins by reflecting on the way stories change depending on who tells them. Drawing from the story of her own family and Jason's retelling of one of her childbirth experiences, she explores how stories aren't simply collections of historical facts. We emphasize different details, exaggerate to communicate how something felt, and tell stories in ways that help others experience what we experienced. That leads into the story of David and Goliath and some of the inconsistencies found across the biblical texts. Rather than allowing those differences to undermine the story, Jenell invites us to consider why this story was told and retold so many times—and what truth it continues to offer us. She recounts David's encounter with Goliath: a young shepherd facing a powerful warrior, refusing Saul's armor because it doesn't fit him, and instead relying on the skills and tools he already possesses. David faces Goliath as himself—a slinger, a shepherd, and someone who trusts that God is with him. Jenell then places the David and Goliath story alongside Psalm 23, inviting us to see David not only as a warrior but also as an artist and psalmist. Together, these texts point toward a deeper truth: we need imagination to face the Goliaths in our lives. Those Goliaths aren't only personal. Jenell challenges the church to imagine a world where food insecurity can be confronted, where people aren't harmed because of their gender, sex, or skin color, and where seemingly immovable injustices can actually be challenged. The teaching closes with several questions for personal reflection: What are the Goliaths in your life? Is there armor you're trying to wear that isn't yours? What skills and gifts do you already possess that can help you face the challenge? What does it look like to experience God walking with you through the valley of the shadow of death? Jenell is careful not to promise that every Goliath will be overcome in the way we expect. Instead, she emphasizes the importance of hope, imagination, endurance, and trusting that God is beside us—even when the outcome isn't what we hoped for. Scripture 1 Samuel 17 — David and GoliathPsalm 23 — “The Lord is my shepherd” Questions to Consider What are the Goliaths you're facing right now? Are you trying to put on someone else's armor instead of trusting the gifts and strengths already within you? What might become possible if you allowed yourself to imagine that change is possible? And where do you experience—or hope to experience—God's presence as you walk through difficult valleys? Key Takeaway You don't have to become someone else to face your Goliath. The gifts, skills, courage, and imagination you already carry may be exactly what you need—and God is beside you in the valley.

The latest In Touch With iOS with Dave he is joined by Jill McKinley, Jeff Gamet, Eric Bolden, Marty Jencius, Guy Serle. This week on In Touch With iOS, we cover Apple's latest updates across Vision Pro, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Mac, and Apple TV. The panel talks about live Friday Night Baseball coming to Apple Immersive Video, visionOS 27 Beta 5, and the latest iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS, and macOS beta changes, including Siri improvements, bug fixes, and security updates. We also debate whether Apple's built-in Mac apps are now good enough to replace third-party favorites like Fantastical and 1Password, and we compare backup strategies using Time Machine, Carbon Copy Cloner, SuperDuper, Synology, external drives, and Backblaze. Plus, Jeff raises concerns about Anthropic's Claude watermarking approach and the risk of false positives for human-written content, and we look at Apple's expanded Made for iPhone hearing-device support and its accessibility benefits.

The episode kicks off with Vision Pro and Apple's return to live sports in Apple Immersive Video. Friday Night Baseball is coming to Vision Pro with select MLB games presented live, giving the panel plenty to discuss about whether immersive sports could become one of the strongest reasons to own Apple's headset. The conversation also explores what Apple could do to make the experience even more compelling, from stadium atmosphere and audio to better ways of making viewers feel like they're actually at the game. Beta This Week brings updates across visionOS 27, iOS 27, iPadOS 27, watchOS 27, tvOS 27, and macOS 27. The panel discusses visionOS 27 Beta 5 improvements to Siri, Mac Virtual Display, hand gestures, and Digital Crown behavior, along with the usual collection of fixes and refinements arriving across Apple's platforms. Siri is also getting additional voice options and greater control over characteristics such as speaking pace and expressivity. On the Mac, the conversation turns into a debate about Apple's built-in applications. Are Calendar, Notes, Reminders, Passwords, Safari, and Apple's other bundled apps finally good enough that Mac users no longer need as many third-party replacements? The panel compares their own workflows and discusses why some of them have started moving back toward Apple's applications after years of using alternatives. Apple Passwords versus 1Password becomes an especially interesting debate: Apple offers excellent integration and simplicity, while 1Password continues to provide more advanced capabilities for users who need them. Then the panel tackles something every Mac user should be thinking about: backups. Time Machine is only the beginning. Everyone compares their own strategies involving Carbon Copy Cloner, SuperDuper, Synology NAS systems, external SSDs and hard drives, cloud storage, and Backblaze. The discussion highlights the importance of having multiple copies of important data, including at least one off-site copy. Jill also brings up a practical disaster-preparedness strategy: keeping important backups on portable drives that can quickly be grabbed during an emergency. Jeff brings AI into the conversation from his blog with concerns about Anthropic's approach to watermarking content that has been generated or even edited using Claude. If someone writes an article, paper, or other document themselves but asks Claude to proofread or rewrite a small portion, could the entire work subsequently be treated as AI-generated? The panel discusses the potential for false positives and the problems this could create for writers, students, educators, and anyone who uses AI as an editing assistant rather than an author. Accessibility is also in the spotlight as Apple expands its Made for iPhone hearing-device compatibility list with dozens of additional devices. The discussion goes beyond the numbers, with the panel sharing real-world examples of how Apple's hearing accessibility technology—including compatible hearing aids and AirPods—can make conversations and noisy environments dramatically easier to navigate. Finally, Things We Found brings the usual collection of useful, interesting, and sometimes unexpected discoveries from the panel, including Synology storage, an Apple Watch band, an ALPR camera mapping resource, an extremely bright USB-C rechargeable flashlight, Batman viewing recommendations, and an animated wallpaper app. Topics and Links In Touch With Vision Pro this week Apple bringing live Friday Night Baseball to Apple Immersive Video — selected MLB games will stream live in immersive 8K 3D on Vision Pro. https://9to5mac.com/2026/08/10/apple-immersive-live-video-mlb-game-schedule/ visionOS 27 Beta 5 released. https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/apple-vision-pro/ https://developer.apple.com/documentation/visionos-release-notes/visionos-27-release-notes visionOS 27 beta users report hand-control and Digital Crown issues.

Not just Independence Day, but all month long, American citizens are celebrating our nation's semiquincentennial called “America 250.” Other fans from around the world are joining in! But some folks, of course, feel uncertain about such patriotism. Don't our countries have a lot of problems? Isn't our eternal citizenship in Heaven? Let's explore how Scripture endorses “the glory and honor of the nations.” And let's recall how fantastical stories illustrate this good love of our country.[1. Photo by Aaron Burden on Unsplash.] Episode sponsors Enclave Publishing: Worlds Collide by Clint Hall Above the Circle of Earth (softcover) by E. Stephen Burnett Iffy Eats Monsters for Breakfast by Bryan Timothy Mitchell Lorehaven Guild: July 2026 book quest for The Silver Chair Mission update New at Lorehaven: review of All That Glows Subscribe free to get updates and join the Lorehaven Guild 1. Why some struggle to love their homeland We'll disclaim illegitimate hatred or homeland, called oikophobia. Some prefer imaginary or opposite “homes” rather than real ones. Still others are rank traitors for bad reasons, and can be rejected. Yet more legitimately, “home” has a bad stigma for some people. We must not let “home was bad for me” turn into “it's bad for all.” Nor should we let this impulse turn into “the nation is bad for all.” Yes, a few countries are built on truly wicked foundations. But most are not—certainly not those with listeners to us now. Even if people do like America, however, they may feel guilty. A similar impulse occurs to Christians who like other earthly gifts. “Our treasure is in heaven, so nothing here on Earth matters.” Subtle gnosticism: if it all burns, why value these temporal places? 2. How stories remind us of good homelands Naturally we begin with the classics by authors who loved England. Lewis and Tolkien saw bad battles and offered critiques at home. But their stories remind us how good heroes fight for their peoples. Hobbits foresee the danger to the Shire and leave home to stop it. Aragorn loves his people and his country, despite their flaws. Faramir doesn't love weapons but “that [land] which they defend.” Narnia's kings and allies fight for her and for other good countries. The Horse and His Boy is about the good country of Archenland. Even harsh Calormenes, opposed to Narnia, have good qualities. Classic sci-fi by the French Jules Verne honors American spirit. Japanese stories adore American heroes, and we return the favor. On this side of the pond, stories show America's flaws and heroes. Independence Day (1996) shows a pulpified-U.S. fighting aliens. Transformers and Top Gun movies tend to follow that tradition. Overtly “patriotic” stories are more about flavor, not philosophy. Back in the UK, Stephen thinks Harry Potter shows this differently. Spoilers: Harry learns Prof. Dumbledore made a lot of mistakes. Yet the grown-up Harry chooses to stay on his mentor's side. And really, such open-eyed loyalty is the root of good patriotism. 3. And yes, good countries could last forever. These are good enough reasons to love even temporal gifts. But let's add more. I believe great nations are in fact eternal. Why? Because of direct promises about eternity in Scripture. By [the city's] light will the nations walk, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it, and its gates will never be shut by day—and there will be no night there. They will bring into it the glory and the honor of the nations. Revelation 21: 24-26 John could have said “earthly kingdoms get destroyed.” He didn't. He clearly means us to think that earthly authorities can continue. And he specifically says “the glory and the honor of the nations.” It would appear that nations (groups of people) are not sinful. New Earth is the fulfillment of God's original purpose for Earth. So why not New Israel? New India? New Britain? New America? Could the “glory and honor” include fireworks? Hot dogs? Ideas? Jesus is King of all eternity. Yet other “kings” will also be known. Other verses refer to saints having leadership in the New Earth. Could some lands try different models? Monarchy? Democracy? Perhaps in the New Earth, we'll see the best of all those systems. Voting could continue, in some ways, certainly at smaller scales. If this seems weird, recall that nations are just large people groups. No prophecy implies a removal of today's diversity of humans. Nor does it imply that everyone will love everyone else the same. New Earth will not sanctify “everyone belongs to everyone else.” Surely, after loving Jesus most, we'll also love others differently. You'll love your own family “more” than other people's families. And if you were married, you'll love him or her more than others. So it is with countries. It's okay, even good, to have preferences. We want people to like their own spouses/families/countries most. So if that impulse will be right forever, it can also be right today. For more, read this: Why I Look Forward to America 250,000. Com station Top question for listeners Have you ever struggled to love your homeland? Next on Fantastical Truth Lots of folks have said plenty about Christopher Nolan's controversial retelling of Homer's classic The Odyssey. We might see the movie. Or we might not. In either case, this book is an absolute cornerstone not just of human literature, but of fantastical fiction. How did this hero's journey change the course of all other heroic legends after him?

After WWE made the rather bold decision to split all their good and bad matches from WrestleMania onto separate nights, it felt like there was a bit of course correction happening with Backlash – an event that we both thought was better than expected. Since then, it's been mostly, to quote the great Jim Cornette, the drizzling shits. So rather than spend another episode just complaining about it, we decided to become an active participant and tell you how we would being doing things.

Join Kate Stanton Melendez for an interview with local artist Isak Dove.    Isak Dove is a self-taught artist b. 1983 Saline, MI, currently based out of Savannah, GA. Most recently her work has been exhibited locally at Gallery 2424 and ARTS Southeast, and internationally at the Zurich Hochshule der Kunst (2025) and Material Gallery (2024) in Zurich, Switzerland.    An avid traveler, Dove often combines her love of journeying the world and her passion for making art, bringing her paints and brushes with her as she travels the globe. In 2024 she spent six weeks alone in the Peruvian countryside, painting fruits and the mountains. In 2018 she was a resident artist at the fantastical Helga's Folly in Kandy, Sri Lanka, and painted in the jungle alongside mischievous monkeys for a month. In 2012 she converted an old broken-down milk truck into a little studio - in an olive grove where the goats roamed, in a desert in the Middle East. That's where she alchemized the first "Goat Girl" into being (a character that appears in many of Dove's paintings).    These days Dove can most often be found locally, live painting in the beautiful Forsyth Park in downtown Savannah. She also dabbles in curating group shows, such as "The Surreal Soiree: A Group Show of Fantastical, Strange, and Uncanny Artworks", opening this week in the Cobra Room of Lone Wolf Lounge. The show features 25 local artists, & opens this Friday, June 5th from 5PM-10PM, as part of First Fridays in Starland.      See more of Isak Dove's work here:  https://www.instagram.com/isak_dove http://www.isakdove.com/paintings.html

Summer has returned. That often brings seasonal vacations that give you downtime in a car or airplane, maybe on a nice beach somewhere. You already know that's a great opportunity to catch up on reading. So what are some tips and tricks to refocus on reading, finding the best fantastical novels and gaining the most from these worlds? Episode sponsors All that Glows by Lauren Smyth Realm Makers 2026 Conference & Expo Author Update from Author Media The Talismiths: The Secret Saboteur by M. L. Hodder Mission update New at Lorehaven: reviews have entered a pre-summer hiatus Use the super Library search to find your family's next favorite Subscribe free to get updates and join the Lorehaven Guild 1. Value quality books over quantity of books. Alas, I can't make this year's FPEA with Realm Makers Bookstore. But if I had, I'd have heard this line repeated: “My kid reads fast!” This is of course a great problem to have in homeschool families. Many want books “without agenda,” that is, obvious bad ideas. Yet fewer parents ask for books “without ugly,” that is, excellent. In some cases, this may feel like a luxury belief. Kids may not care. Many kids, for example, will read at scale—good books and bad. When I was a late teenager, I began learning some books are ugly. My first truly bad novel was [Title Redacted] by [Author Redacted]. But in my family, I had to learn a “language” for describing this. I was helped by reading newspaper reviews of books and films. Then later, early 90s internet taught me better (and bad) reviews. The Pop Culture Parent shares some guides for evaluating beauty. Yet one clear sign—the book asks questions leading you to Jesus. That's why we host the Lorehaven Library and review some titles. 2. Still, focus on reading many quality books! Stephen has a unique struggle: holding onto pleasure reading. As publisher of Lorehaven, it's hard to read without some “goal”! But read we must, “for its own sake,” that is, for our Author's sake. Still, as we age, perhaps every book gains more “practical” value. Stephen often hyper-schedules every working and resting day. This seems a great way to set goals. “The calendar made me do it.” And then, five or fifteen minutes in, momentum alone takes over. You may also need to turn off your phone or use “airplane mode.” Stephen keeps it on, but keeps all social-media notifications muted. Distracted by chatter? Try a free white-noise generator (or an app). Kindles and other devices also help with distraction-free reading. Don't forget classic printed books. There's nothing like real pages! 3. Join other readers to share great novels. Obviously your family and friends can be your first fellow readers. Ask your kids what they're reading, and share what you read too! Take natural interest in their stories, the ideas, and what they love. Stephen's siblings and him often joined in reading and even writing. Now, he and his wife Lacy frequently read, often aloud, with voices. If possible, join (or start?) physical book clubs at your local church. Focus on quality, classic, and/or Christian-made fantastical titles. Sure, you might use sites or social media to find matching books. Stephen isn't sure that AI (or AI-driven apps) prove best for this. Lorehaven features monthly book quests to help us read together. We believe humans, made in Christ's image, can best find books. Subscribe free to join the Guild and talk about all manner of titles. Com station Top question for listeners What are your top tricks for reading the best and most books? Next on Fantastical Truth Now that Zack and Stephen are taking turns, next week's episode just might cover a new genre that dares to suggest faithful priests and other religious heroes of the future may not be (gasp) wicked villains. In fact, they may be kind of awesome—and potentially wear powerful mech armor. What is this subgenre some creators call incensepunk?

The Department of Justice's declaration that Jeffrey Epstein was a "lone wolf" with no ties to intelligence and no involvement in kompromat is not just laughable—it's an insult to the intelligence of every American with a functioning frontal lobe. This isn't just a lie; it's a grotesque act of gaslighting. You don't amass blackmail material on billionaires, politicians, and royalty by accident. You don't operate an international sex trafficking ring out of mansions, private islands, and government-funded plea deals unless someone very powerful is holding the door open. For the DOJ to issue this absurd narrative in 2025, after years of irrefutable evidence and obvious patterns, is like spitting in the face of every survivor, whistleblower, journalist, and citizen who's been screaming the truth while being told they were delusional.What this memo really signals is institutional rot—an admission, cloaked in denial, that the system doesn't intend to clean up its mess. It's a grotesque pantomime of justice, hoping the public will grow tired, stop asking questions, and let the concrete dry over a grave full of secrets. But this isn't going away. You don't get to burn the files, wash your hands, and pretend the smell isn't still in the air.

Show NotesOn the Spotlight this week, we wrap up the Australian Open where dramatic semi finals saw Alcaraz overcome cramp (to Zverev's dismay), Djokovic overcome Sinner (to Ross' prediction dismay), and then Alcaraz overpower Djokovic to win a career Grand Slam. Elana Rybakina won the women's title, powered by a dominant serve and a few harsh, but helpful words from her coach.Then it's a concussion and head injury discussion, with a Spotlight on football and rugby. Should young children be tackling and heading a football? We explore those debates and discover that bans and delays don't play out quite the same way in the two sports, but that many unanswered questions remain. A recent paper by Ross and some colleagues finds that rugby players wearing headgear are more likely to suffer injuries than those not wearing headgear. An odd finding, but confounded by history and bias, as a lesson for how research limitations play out.And finally, does Karsten Blummenfelt really have a VO2max of 101 ml/kg/min? The Norwegian triathlete published that number earlier in the week, and it was met with skepticism bordering on ridicule. We discuss why the number isn't physiologically believable, what it means, and how errors in measurement might occur.Finally finally, if you enjoy the show and want to show your support, then become a Supporter with a small monthly donation, and you'll also get access to our Community Chat, and, as discussed in this show, upcoming Live Event Coverage.LinksThe Contact Conundrum: Are We Introducing Contact at the Correct Time in Youth Sports?Wearing Regulation Soft-Padded Headgear Does Not Reduce the Risk of Head Injuries in Professional Men's Rugby Players: An Observational Cohort StudyThe Spennymoor Heading Trial ArticleArticle on Bulmenfelts 101 VO2max Hosted on Acast.

The Department of Justice's declaration that Jeffrey Epstein was a "lone wolf" with no ties to intelligence and no involvement in kompromat is not just laughable—it's an insult to the intelligence of every American with a functioning frontal lobe. This isn't just a lie; it's a grotesque act of gaslighting. You don't amass blackmail material on billionaires, politicians, and royalty by accident. You don't operate an international sex trafficking ring out of mansions, private islands, and government-funded plea deals unless someone very powerful is holding the door open. For the DOJ to issue this absurd narrative in 2025, after years of irrefutable evidence and obvious patterns, is like spitting in the face of every survivor, whistleblower, journalist, and citizen who's been screaming the truth while being told they were delusional.What this memo really signals is institutional rot—an admission, cloaked in denial, that the system doesn't intend to clean up its mess.

The release of the Office of Inspector General's report on Jeffrey Epstein's death was marked by a delay so drawn out that it raised more questions than it answered. Epstein died in August 2019, yet the OIG report—supposedly the definitive account of the failures at the Metropolitan Correctional Center—did not surface until mid-2023. That nearly four-year gap created an atmosphere of suspicion, where the public was left to speculate in the absence of transparency. For a case of such magnitude, involving one of the most notorious prisoners in U.S. custody, the government's inability—or unwillingness—to produce timely findings came across as stonewalling rather than due diligence. Each year that ticked by without answers only deepened the impression that the investigation was less about accountability and more about managing fallout.Critics have argued that the slow pace betrayed the very purpose of oversight. The OIG is meant to reassure the public that even the federal system can police itself, but when it takes nearly half a decade to confirm “errors” that were obvious within days of Epstein's death—broken cameras, sleeping guards, falsified logs—the credibility of the process collapses. Instead of restoring confidence, the delay reinforced the perception that the system was dragging its feet, hoping the public's outrage would fade. By the time the report finally arrived, many saw it as an afterthought: a bureaucratic box checked too late to matter, more a shield for officials than a search for truth.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Jeffrey Epstein Death: Justice Department Still Hasn't Released Report (businessinsider.com)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

You dig into the little things macOS quietly does for you, starting with the surprising truth about Clipboard History and why macOS 26 might feel slower than you’d expect. You explore ways to rein things in, from taming runaway apps to making better use of iPhone Mirroring and clever video capture tricks. Along the way, you're reminded that old hardware still has value if you give it purpose, and that blind trust in AI troubleshooting can lead you astray faster than it helps. This is where staying curious beats staying complacent, and where “Don't Get Caught” is more than a catchphrase. Then you move into the real-world problem solving that defines Mac Geek Gab: networking quirks that break expectations, WiFi settings that ignore reservations, and router updates that change the rules midstream. You also get clear, practical guidance on buying the right Mac, migrating only what you actually need, hunting down duplicate files, and reclaiming menu bar space from the notch. Even photo libraries get a reality check, helping you decide what truly needs to live inside Photos. It's a fast-moving episode packed with answers you can use immediately, designed to keep your setup efficient, intentional, and frustration-free. 00:00:00 Mac Geek Gab 1121 for Monday, December 22nd, 2025 December 22nd: International Day of Mathematics MGG Monthly Giveaway – Enter to win a copy of OpenIn!

Looking for daily inspiration?  Get a quote from the top leaders in the industry in your inbox every morning.   Every year, millions of attraction visitors lose hours in line instead of making memories. Since its inception, accesso's virtual queuing has saved more than 4.5 billion minutes of wait time, freeing guests to pack their day with more rides, eats, and excitement. The result? Happier guests who spend more and a better bottom line for you. Ready to turn waits into wins? Visit accesso.com/ROIClinic. The queues are virtual. The results are real. Phil Royle is the Vice President of LEGOLAND Development and Operations at Merlin Entertainments. With nearly 25 years at Merlin, he's grown from a 17-year-old ride operator at Chessington World of Adventures to opening Madame Tussauds Hollywood, leading guest experience at LEGOLAND Florida, and spearheading the development and launches of new LEGOLAND parks in New York, South Korea, and Shanghai. His career spans operations, development, community engagement, and global brand stewardship across 11 parks, multiple water parks, and themed hotels. In this interview, Phil Royle talks about being brick-centric, fantastical escapism, and teaching everything you can. Brick-centric “We have to make sure that everything we do centers around the brick. The brick is absolutely a core part of everything we do.” Phil explains that the LEGO brick is not just theming—it's the operating system for the entire resort experience. Because LEGOLAND serves families with children ages two to twelve, attractions are intentionally designed as “pink-knuckle” firsts: first coaster rides, first driving school licenses, and first hands-on build zones. Accessibility and inclusion are embedded, from wheelchair access to widespread Certified Autism Center credentials across parks, aligning day-to-day operations with the brand's “only the best is good enough” ethos. He describes a tight collaboration with the LEGO toy company, aligning new lands and attractions to upcoming toy lines so the parks bring IP like Monkey Kid to life in rides, hotels, and interactive spaces. Even hotel rooms extend the brick-first philosophy: families wake up inside immersive, character-rich environments and can step straight into building play, ensuring the brick is literally the first and last touchpoint of the day. Fantastical escapism “We want that fantastical escape to just say, ‘wow, I woke up at LEGOLAND.'” Phil explains that escapism is a design and operational mandate for both kids and parents. While queues and coasters provide the familiar structure of a theme park day, discovery and agency come from integrated build-and-play moments, such play areas inside queues, free-build buckets, guided vehicle-building challenges, and earthquake tables that turn trial-and-error into laughter and learning. Guests think they're just racing cars or stacking towers; in reality, they're encountering physics, structural engineering, and cause-and-effect through tangible, joyful play. He emphasizes that parents are part of the magic. Attractions and play spaces are planned so adults can ride, build, and celebrate alongside their kids, or comfortably supervise from thoughtfully designed lounges with clear sightlines (single-entry/exit play areas). Dining, shows, seasonal characters, and event overlays (from Brick or Treat through the holidays) complete a rhythm that lets families “forget the big wide world” for a day and live inside a story built from bricks and imagination. Teaching everything you can “You can only move on if you teach your team absolutely everything you can so that they can be successful on their own.” Phil frames leadership mobility and park scalability as outcomes of radical knowledge transfer. Opening multiple parks across continents required documenting processes, building successor capability, and ensuring local teams could operate confidently after handover. When knowledge is hoarded, questions bottleneck at the last team; when it's centralized and shared, the next parks in the pipeline (Shanghai, Shenzhen, and beyond) can accelerate with fewer blockers. He also extends teaching beyond internal teams to partners, media, and communities, using proactive education to align global safety standards with local norms (as in South Korea), and cultivating networks where safety transcends competition. For Phil, mentoring, documentation, and cross-park/intake relationships are the real engines that let leaders “move on to the next project” without leaving gaps behind.   To connect with Phil directly, he recommends reaching out on LinkedIn.

In the dark corners of the world—whether deep in the forests or behind the hedges of quiet suburbia—things wait. They whisper, they watch, and sometimes, they strike. This week on Horror Hill, host Erik Peabody invites you to step into two very different landscapes where survival depends on more than wit or willpower. Fantastical creatures stir at the edges of human awareness, and those who stumble across them may learn too late that not every beast can be tamed—or escaped. Enter if you dare, and discover the fatal price of trespassing on the wrong side of myth.
