Music can build suspense, reveal emotion, and reshape a scene—but who ensures that it works in harmony with the picture? Mike talks with Emmy-winning music editor Ben Schor about the often-invisible craft of guiding a production's score from the earliest temp tracks through recording and the final mix. Schor traces his path from singer-songwriter to film and television, beginning with Gigli and developing long-running collaborations with composers including Jeff Russo. He explains how Alien: Earth balances the musical legacy of Jerry Goldsmith and James Horner with eerie new sounds created using contrabass flute, Aztec death whistle, and the specially built bass desmophone. The conversation also explores Schor's work on Ripley, Fargo, and Cape Fear, the perils of falling in love with a temp track, and why giving music room to breathe can transform a story.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-projection-booth--5513239/support.Become a supporter of The Projection Booth at http://www.patreon.com/projectionbooth

What will a healthy beekeeping industry look like five or ten years from now—and what needs to change to get us there? Recorded live at the Tri-States and Minnesota Beekeepers meeting in Fargo, Jeff Ott and Becky Masterman moderate a wide-ranging conversation with Randy Oliver of Scientific Beekeeping, Dr. Izzy Hill of Project Apis m., and Dr. Brandon Hopkins of Washington State University about protecting the future of beekeeping. The discussion begins with the economics. Commercial beekeeping has long depended on two major sources of income: honey production and pollination services. But changing almond acreage, pressure on honey prices, rising operating costs, declining forage, and imported honey are forcing beekeepers to adapt. The panel considers what could make a meaningful difference. Randy argues for restoring forage through regenerative agriculture and improving the economics of domestic honey. Izzy sees promise in new honey bee health products and greater cooperation across the industry. Brandon points to the practical realities facing working beekeepers—from land and forage to fuel, labor, and the need to make beekeeping economically attractive to the next generation. The conversation then turns to consumers. How do we communicate that protecting honey bees isn't simply about colony losses? Healthy agricultural soils, diverse forage, accurate honey labeling, and consumer choices all affect the future of beekeeping. Audience questions expand the discussion into regenerative agriculture, bee pasture, youth education, and getting young people excited about working with honey bees. And Randy closes with an important reminder: amid all the talk about Varroa, economics, forage, and regulation, don't forget to tell people why being a beekeeper is joyful.

SEASON 2 - EPISODE 207 John Carroll Lynch - Actor / Director In this episode of the Team Deakins Podcast, we speak with actor and director John Carroll Lynch (BALLARD, LUCKY, FARGO). During our conversation, John tells us what originally drew him into acting, and we discuss an actor's function and place in film, television, and the theatre. As an actor, John has been directed by filmmakers ranging from Clint Eastwood to David Fincher to Ethan and Joel Coen (Season 1, Episode 33), and we discuss how he adapts to different methods of working. We later spend much of the episode discussing John's directorial debut, LUCKY, and we learn how he came to direct the film, how he worked with actor Harry Dean Stanton to develop a script based on his own life, and what it was about the film that attracted him to join in the first place. John also reflects on his experience directing the late David Lynch in the film, and we ask him what to expect in his next movie as a director. We worked with John on FARGO, and it was great catching up with him. - Recommended Viewing: LUCKY

This week, Da7e and Neil have been pulled out of Westeros in a green bubble and asked whether they are afraid of a new Damon Lindelof show. The answer? Absolutely not.In The Calm [05:10], they break down the pilot episode of Lanterns and highlight its many influences, from True Detective vibes to Fargo vibes to a promise of cosmic shenanigans. They also check in on some familiar tropes like Bad Dads, Time-hopping Mysteries, and Mythology Deconstructions.Then in The Storm [48:04], your faithful hosts use their knowledge of the comics, the "Weeks Ahead" trailer, and lack of screener access to lay down some theories about where this story will go, including the very important questions around why the show is specifically and simply called "Lanterns" (with no color-based qualifier).Next week, the Lanterns journey continues with episode two of eight. Will there be aliens? Probably. But more importantly, there will be more Garrett Dillahunt.To interact with the show, send your comments and questions to stormofspoilers@gmail.com, and follow us on Twitter/X and Bluesky @Da7eandNeil.You can also support Da7e and Neil and get all kinds of bonus content (from the Game of Thrones era to the LOST rewatch to our Twin Peaks rewatch project to our current Adventure Pod and Dark watch project) by subscribing to our Patreon here: patreon.com/Da7eandNeil

In this episode of JJ Meets World, JJ and Tucker debate what makes something classy, from cashews and pistachios to country clubs, yacht clubs, decorative soap, fancy towels, and the confusing social rules of guest bathrooms. The conversation moves through Fargo Country Club, Moorhead Country Club, Caddyshack-style exclusivity, Mr. Peanut, and the strange household items that feel too fancy to actually use. They also get into childhood safety passwords, stranger danger PSAs, AI-generated YouTube impersonations, Ryan Hall Y'all, family pickup stories, TailSpin, Game Boy kidnapping hypotheticals, and Tucker's very detailed hand-washing routine. It's a funny, nostalgic conversation about class, etiquette, Fargo culture, childhood safety, bathroom manners, and the unwritten rules people only learn after they break them. 00:00 Intro: Classy Stuff and Bathroom Habits 01:13 Things That Are Classy 01:44 AI Fakes, YouTube Streams, and Ryan Hall Y'all 02:35 Childhood Safety Passwords 03:07 Tucker Tries to Use the Family Password 03:28 JJ's Lack of a Kidnapping Password 04:12 JJ Gets Picked Up by Dean 04:29 JJ's Mom Gets the Van Stuck on a Boulder 05:32 TailSpin, Skydivers, and Stranger Danger 06:16 Game Boy Mom and Stranger Danger PSAs 06:59 The Real Fear of Being Kidnapped by Someone You Know 07:29 The Grocery Store Kidnapping Story 08:03 Cashews Are Classy 08:30 The Shrimp of the Nut World 09:08 Ranking the Best Nuts 10:18 Mr. Peanut and the Gentleman Hobo 10:40 Are Pistachios Classy? 11:29 Country Clubs and Getting Kicked Out 12:24 Fargo and Moorhead Country Clubs 13:12 Country Club Food Minimums 13:49 High Society and Hidden Prices 15:06 How to Laugh at a Country Club 15:21 Decorative Soap Is Classy 16:20 Are You Supposed to Use the Fancy Soap? 17:00 Guest Bathroom Towels and Unspoken Rules 18:18 Tucker Explains His Bathroom Process 19:15 The Full Hand-Washing Routine 20:35 The Little Mermaid Soap 21:28 Leaving the Sink Running 21:45 Outro 22:23 Final Tag: Nuts and Bathroom Issues

There's been a lot of talk in North Dakota in recent weeks about kratom after Gov. Kelly Armstrong issued executive orders banning the substance and called lawmakers into a special session in Bismarck with an eye toward making that ban permanent. But what does the kratom industry think about it? "We agree with the governor in part and we disagree in another part," Mac Haddow said on this episode of Plain Talk. "It's a lot like being married, right? We have to get it right at the end." Haddow is a former state lawmaker, and a Reagan-era chief of staff for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Currently, he's a senior fellow on public policy at the American Kratom Association, and where he and his organization agree with Armstrong is on synthetic kratom. He said that colloquial descriptors like "gas station heroin" are accurate. "There's no question it's the same as an opioid." But on a previous episode of Plain Talk, Armstrong said the natural, botanical variety of kratom should be banned too, and that's where Haddow and his group diverge. Natural kratom is a different animal. "This is akin to what happened during Prohibition," he argued. "We don't call moonshine corn and we certainly don't call caffeine coffee. These are things that need to be closely examined and properly regulated." Haddow argues that good policy coming out of this session would ban synthetic kratom and regulate the natural variety to ensure that it's only available to adults and is transparent about things like ingredients and dosage. Also on this episode, co-host Chad Oban and I responded to listener feedback and talked about renewed controversy around Fargo-area state lawmaker Rep. Desiree Morton. In June, Morton attacked fellow lawmakers for allowing Somali volunteers on their campaigns. More recently, in private messages, Morton insinuated that a ward proposal for Fargo's city government would allow "imports" to take over the city. Morton said in her message that she's "not a hater," but Oban disagrees. "She is a hater," he said. "She's a bigot. She's a racist."

Tim reflects on his time working at the Fargo diocese and what he'll be doing next in life

What is the current state of honey bee health in the United States? Recorded live at the Tri-States Beekeeping Conference in Fargo, North Dakota, Jeff Ott and Dr. Becky Masterman moderate a lively panel discussion featuring Randy Oliver, Jackie Park-Burris, Dr. Katie Lee, and Dr. Rogan Tokash. The conversation explores the biggest challenges facing beekeeping today—from Varroa mite resistance and evolving treatment strategies to honey bee nutrition, forage loss, pesticide exposure, queen breeding, and the economic pressures confronting commercial beekeepers. The panel also discusses the importance of applied research, the future of almond pollination, and why collaboration between researchers and beekeepers remains essential. Audience questions expand the discussion into pesticide impacts, carrying capacity for honey bees, beginning beekeepers and mite management, and what gives these experts hope for the future of honey bee health. Whether you manage two colonies or thousands, this conversation offers valuable insight into the challenges—and opportunities—shaping modern beekeeping.

Country music is in the air in Detroit Lakes this week. One of the nation's largest country music festivals starts Wednesday at Soo Pass Ranch just outside town. Big names like Lainey Wilson and Brooks & Dunn will take WE Fest's three stages to play for tens of thousands of fans. The lineup includes a couple local artists, like Zach Thomas, who's from the western Minnesota town of Wendell and now lives in Fargo. He joined MPR News guest host Kelly Gordon to talk about his upcoming gig, why he writes sad songs and what it's like to witness the explosion of pop country's popularity as an independent artist.

"We know of at least 23 deaths in North Dakota where it's listed as a primary cause," Gov. Kelly Armstrong said on this episode of Plain Talk, referring to the substance kratom. Armstrong made headlines this week when he announced a temporary executive order banning kratom, and that he was calling lawmakers to Bismarck for a special session to pass more permanent policy. Some claimed that kratom is a ruse intended to cover other issues, such as the red-hot data center debate, or the financial disaster that is a military museum on the capitol grounds, but Armstrong made it clear that the session is very much about kratom. "We've basically only started testing for this stuff since September of last year, nd everybody I talked to in this space that knows what it is from the health perspective says this stuff is really, really addictive and it's really bad news and it's completely unregulated right now in North Dakota," he said. "If we have to overreact to something this addictive, I'm comfortable overreacting," he added. But Armstrong did indicate that he hopes lawmakers do something about the military museum mess while in Bismarck, even if it just means appropriating the dollars needed to winterize the project, buying some time for the legislature to come up with a way to address it during their regular session beginning in January. He also indicated that, while he has no control over what bills lawmakers consider, he would be very skeptical of signing any sort of a data center moratorium. "I'm not a huge moratorium guy," he said. "If the argument is we have to make sure there's more local control, doesn't a moratorium take all local control away? I don't see that as being a real viable scenario at this point." Also on this super-sized episode of Plain Talk, Signe Snortland, a candidate for the state Senate in District 33 said that if she were participating in the special session, she'd vote for a moratorium. The district she lives in touches on four counties, each of which have at least one proposed data center project in them. She acknowledges that the data centers are needed, but said North Dakota needs more time to consider the policies around them. One thing she'd like to see on the table is a requirement for reclamation bonds, in case the markets turn and the data centers are abandoned. "We're worried what will happen if the bubble bursts and people walk away from these plants," she said. "What happens in the county and the city? How do they reclaim the land?" Co-host Chad Oban and I also discussed the ways in which Doug Burgum is overshadowing his strong legacy as a leader and businessman in North Dakota by carrying President Donald Trump's rancid political water, the controversy over pride flags in Detroit Lakes, and political shakeups in Fargo-area legislative districts, including the possibility that Rep. Jim Kasper, an elderly lawmaker who has been out of the public eye for some time after suffering a brain bleed, could soon be replaced.

In this episode of JJ Meets World, JJ and Tucker dig into gardening, meaningful work, Fargo water, aquarium plants, Disney animation, and the strange little connections between growing things and feeling grounded. The conversation begins with JJ reflecting on a recent visit to Farm in the Dell in North Moorhead, a nonprofit farm where people with different cognitive abilities help plant, tend, harvest, and sell produce. That visit opens up a larger discussion about purpose, hard work, community, teaching, burnout, and why some kinds of labor can feel difficult without feeling defeating. From there, JJ and Tucker get into the practical and philosophical side of gardening. They talk about what separates a garden from a farm, whether a farm really needs a barn, what makes a good beginner garden, and what Tucker might grow if he turns part of his backyard into a small vegetable and herb garden. Along the way, they discuss raised garden beds, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, carrots, potatoes, shishido peppers, herbs, houseplants, AeroGardens, squirrels, rabbits, and the satisfaction of keeping something alive. The episode then flows naturally into water: aquarium water, rainwater, snowmelt, houseplant care, fish tanks, aquatic plants, Fargo tap water, potable water, chlorine, chloramine, and why water that is perfectly fine for people can still create problems for plants or aquariums. JJ and Tucker also wander into water quality, contaminated wells, Flint, Erin Brockovich, fracking country, and one of childhood's most questionable electricity myths. In the back half of the episode, the conversation shifts into pop culture with Disney's Hercules, Greek mythology, James Woods as Hades, Kingdom Hearts, Ratatouille, Disney's Cars, childhood movie taste, and the decline of hand-drawn 2D Disney animation. JJ and Tucker imagine what Disney could still do with traditional animation and why some stories might feel more special if they looked less polished and more human. It's a classic JJ Meets World conversation about gardens, water, purpose, nostalgia, Disney movies, and the stubborn little things that keep growing whether we are ready for them or not.

Check it out at patreon.com/lilstinkers You voted and we listened! And watched! For this month's installment of Lil Stinkers go to the Movies, we watched the Coen Brothers' 1996 classic, Fargo. It's about a pathetic weasel who hires two criminals to pull off a fake kidnapping of his wife so he can get money from his FIL and the plan goes off the rails. And it's all just dripping with midwestern politeness. Stay warm and enjoy!
