Melbourne-born, London-based vibist Fergus Sweetland punches in this week with a two-hour jaunt into his playfully jagged and diverse headspace. Responsible for some off-kilter belters on the likes of NRBK and HAYES, the Australian DJ and producer brings his fun-loving approach to our waves with a choice selection of versatile techno grooves and genre-busting edits of his own concoction. Tailored to lift spirits and bodies alike, his mix shall rejoice all lovers of the kind of unbothered musical cross-pollination and essential playfulness that misses from the more ascetic strains of techno orthodoxy. Bending genres, tempi and minds at once, this one goes particularly hard in its own idiosyncratically witty, debonair, killer way.
In the summer there is nothing like a visit to the seaside. But in this tale, we visit a sleepy coastal town in the North of England, where the locals avoid the beach after dark...
A funeral in New Zealand can cost between $8,000-15,000, and it keeps getting more expensive. So, can death be done with dignity, without debt, and with out a funeral director? When do you need a coffin and when don't you? What are the pros and cons of cremation versus burial? These are some of the questions addressed by funeral reformer Fergus Wheeler, one of a network of volunteers from the Far North to Invercargill, presenting a series of workshops.
This week, Fergus sits down with Head Coaches Kieran and JB for a proper no-holds-barred confessional. Failed lifts. A calorie surplus that got embarrassingly out of hand. They're airing it all. Because here's the thing - even the coaches leading your training didn't start out knowing what they know now. This episode is proof that the road to "knowing your stuff" is paved with cringe.

Book 61: Fergus Borderwich - "Centennial: The Great Fair of 1876..." by
A Clare community services provider that suffered a break-in last week says staff are "devastated" by the incident which they've branded as "unfair". Obair on the Ennis Road in Newmarket-on-Fergus was burgled in the early hours of last Wednesday morning, with the perpetrators absconding with approximately €600 in cash. The service operates a Meals on Wheels service which caters to over 300 people five days a week, while the building also contains a creche, an afterschool and post-primary programme, remote working hubs, a youth café and an environmental section. Siobhan Griffin, who works for Obair, says the burglary is particularly upsetting in the context of the positive work the organisation does in the community.

A special candlelight concert is being planned in County Clare this October in memory of a much-loved young woman whose life touched so many people in her community. The event, organised by Kirsty Donnellan in memory of her daughter Scarlett, will celebrate Scarlett's love of music while also raising funds for The Katie Trust, a charity that supports families affected by domestic violence and hidden domestic homicide. Scarlett was part of the Obair family from a very young age, progressing through its crèche, after-schools and youth programmes, while her mother Kirsty also played an important role in the organisation through her work with local children and families. Joining Alan Morrissey to tell him more about the concert, the community support behind it and the work it hopes to support were Kirsty Donnellan, James Brannigan, founder of The Katie Trust, and Siobhan O'Driscoll, Community Development Officer with Obair Newmarket-on-Fergus.

The first full trailer for Shrek 5 finally arrived, and this episode breaks down everything it shows one year out from release. We cover the new footage, the storybook opening that pays homage to original author William Steig, and our best look yet at the redesigned Shrek and Donkey. The trailer takes the whole Shrek family, now with adult kids in tow, to a new and noticeably rainier corner of the map that feels less friendly than the Far Far Away fans know. The standout gag is a creepy snowman who reads a lot like a parody of Olaf, and it sets the tone for a movie that looks ready to have a lot of fun.We run through the returning trio of Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy and Cameron Diaz, plus the new generation joining the cast: Zendaya as daughter Felicia, with Marcello Hernandez and Skyler Gisondo as her triplet brothers Fergus and Farkle, the same babies fans met in Shrek Forever After. There is also good news behind the camera, with franchise veterans Walt Dohrn and Conrad Vernon back in the director chairs. From there it gets personal with some millennial nostalgia, a Toys R Us Shrek 2 stocking story, and an appreciation for one of the all-time great DVD menus.Timestamps0:00 First real trailer for Shrek 5 and our best look at the redesign0:08 Storybook opening and the homage to author William Steig0:17 The Shrek family heads to a new, rainier location0:25 The Olaf-style snowman and the movie's sense of fun0:33 Returning cast and the new generation joining0:52 Walt Dohrn and Conrad Vernon back in the director chairs1:02 Release date, the 26 year gap, and franchise nostalgia1:21 DVD menu appreciation and signing offKey TakeawaysThe first full Shrek 5 trailer is here, releasing one year ahead of the June 30, 2027 launchIt opens on a storybook that pays homage to original Shrek author William SteigThis is the clearest look yet at the redesigned Shrek and Donkey, and the new look plays better in motionThe family travels to a new location that looks rainier and less welcoming than Far Far AwayThe standout moment is a creepy snowman in the style of OlafMike Myers, Eddie Murphy and Cameron Diaz all returnZendaya voices daughter Felicia, with Marcello Hernandez and Skyler Gisondo as triplet brothers Fergus and Farkle, first seen as babies in Shrek Forever AfterFranchise veterans Walt Dohrn and Conrad Vernon are directingShrek 5 arrives 26 years after the original 2001 filmMemorable Quotes"It's our best look yet at what Shrek and Donkey look like after they're a bit of a redesign.""The best bit by far is coming across a snowman, very much like Olaf.""They're gonna have a lot of fun with this one.""If you watched that first movie, how those knees feeling?"Call to ActionIf you enjoyed the breakdown, subscribe to Geek Freaks Headlines so you never miss an episode.

A row has erupted over continued exports of alumina from the Aughinish refinery on the Shannon Estuary to Russia, with the Ukrainian Embassy in Ireland expressing what it describes as "serious concern" about the trade. The controversy centres on claims that alumina produced at the Russian-owned plant in County Limerick could ultimately be ending up in supply chains linked to Russia's military-industrial complex. The company insists it is fully compliant with all EU sanctions and trade regulations, while the Government has launched an investigation and says it is awaiting the findings before any decisions are made. The issue raises difficult questions about sanctions, European energy and industrial security, Ireland's support for Ukraine, and the future of one of the country's most significant manufacturing employers. To discuss the political and European dimensions of the story, Alan Morrissey was joined by Newmarket-on-Fergus native and Professor of Politics at Dublin City University, Donnacha Ó'Beacháin, and Billy Kelleher, Fianna Fáil MEP for Ireland South.

Mary & Blake discuss listener feedback for Outlander Season 8 Episode 8, "In The Forest." In this episode, we go through your reactions to one of the strongest episodes of the final season — including why so many listeners felt like Ron Moore helped get the show back on track, why Jamie and William's hug absolutely broke everyone, and why Fanny hearing the buzzing has people very, very nervous. We also discuss the lingering fallout from Episode 8.07, whether Fergus's death worked better than the book version, Marsali leaving the Ridge, Frank's "Deadeye" reveal, Lord John walking into yet another trap, and why the final two episodes still have a LOT to pay off. Plus, Angie gives us the quote of the season, Mary gets emotionally wounded by Apple Podcast reviews, Blake compares Outlander's spin-off energy to the DCEU, and we somehow end with tuna melts, Mr. Feeney, Chantilly cake, and "I'm not a Hulk, I'm a person."
Mary & Blake recap and review Outlander Season 8 Episode 8, "In The Forest." In this episode, we discuss why this hour felt like a massive breath of fresh air, how Ronald D. Moore's return to the writer's chair changed the emotional temperature of the show, and why Jamie and William's forest scene finally gave us the father/son material we've been waiting for. We also get into Roger somehow becoming one of Blake's favorite parts of the episode — yes, really — Fanny possibly hearing the stones, the very convenient Frank "Deadeye" reveal, Claire's lack of screen time, Marsali's next step after Fergus, and why the Lord John cliffhanger feels a little too late in the season. Plus, Mary has serious issues with the condition of Frank's book, Blake is fully wearing Ron Moore footie pajamas, and Five Questions That Got Nothing To Do With Outlander somehow leads us to Jars of Clay, leftover pizza, mac and cheese, and the Universal Epic Universe How To Train Your Dragon soundtrack.

Fergus joined the podcast cautiously this week, unsure where he stood after the viral Central Cee video mishap. We talk the backlash, he tries for viral content once again by attempting to spill my secrets on my own show, and we talk manifestation. He discusses his love language, and answers your questions debunking myths from a boy’s perspective.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In this episode of Outlander Cast, Mary and Blake dive into the massive listener response to Outlander 8.07, "Evidence of Things Not Seen" — and yes, this may be the most feedback we have ever received for a single episode. Fans wrote in, called in, and brought a whole lot of passion about Fergus, Faith, Lord John, William, and the increasingly chaotic state of the final season. Across the board, one thing is clear: the Faith reveal hit a nerve. Mary and Blake react to your thoughts on whether the storyline cheapens Claire and Jamie's original loss, whether Fergus' death was earned or just another shock move, and whether the show is starting to treat its own emotional history too loosely. They also discuss the praise for Lauren Lyle's performance, the divide over Toni Graphia's script, and the growing fear that the show is piling on twists without enough time to let them breathe. Also in this listener feedback episode: why so many fans felt Fergus' death was overshadowed why Lord John continues to be one of the few universally loved parts of the episode whether the show can still salvage the Faith storyline if William is ever going to recover emotionally and why some listeners think Outlander is getting dangerously close to Game of Thrones final-season territory You can support the show and get all our bonus content at JoinTheNerdClan.com.

In this episode of Outlander Cast, Mary and Blake break down Outlander 8.07, "Evidence of Things Not Seen." And yes — this one gets heated. On the one hand, there is a lot here that really works: Jamie and Claire living under the shadow of Frank's book, Lord John once again proving he is the only adult in the room, the emotional devastation of Fergus' death, and some genuinely strong scene work from Toni Graphia. On the other hand… the Faith reveal. Mary and Blake dig into why this episode feels so split against itself, why the Faith/Master Raymond/Jane/Fanny twist swallows everything else around it, and why Blake thinks this is not really a Toni Graphia failure at all — but a larger Matt Roberts showrunner problem. They also discuss: why Fergus' death lands so hard why Lord John remains the MVP why William is still a mess why the show's emotional contract may now be in danger and whether Outlander can still salvage this storyline by choosing tragedy over restoration And yes, there is also talk of Italian grinders, banana peppers, zombie Faith, and whether this show has officially entered Planet Zippy.

On this week's episode of Droughtlander Diaries, we're recapping Episode 807, “Evidence of Things Not Seen”—hands down the most controversial episode of the season.
In this episode of Outlander Cast, Mary and Blake break down Outlander Season 8 Episode 4, "Muskets, Liberty, and Sauerkraut," and ask the big question: does Fergus learning he may be the Comte St. Germain's son actually deepen the season, or is it just classic premium-grade Outlander soap? They dig into Fergus and Marsali, Buck's surprise return, Lord John continuing to be one of the most human characters on the board, the Claire/Fanny/Faith thread the show keeps teasing, and why Jamie and Ian's goodbye works better as a scene than the prayer that follows it. Mary comes in much hotter on the episode than Blake, so there's real disagreement in this one too. They also get into why William and Amaranthus feel completely out of pocket right now, whether Percy is telling the truth, and why Roger keeps getting thrown into chaos every five minutes. Mary's Kilt Rating: 4.8 / 5 Blake's Kilt Rating: 3.99 / 5 You can support the show and get all our bonus content at JoinTheNerdClan.com. Full spoilers for Outlander Season 8 Episode 4.

Hook The premiere is finally here, the fandom is fully activated, and the reactions are all over the map. In this listener feedback episode, Mary and Blake sort through the love, the frustration, the theories, and the very real end-of-an-era feelings surrounding Outlander Season 8 Episode 1, "Soul of a Rebel." Ratings Listener Kilt ratings in this episode generally land in the 4.0–4.7 range, even while many listeners still hammer the Faith storyline and debate whether the reunion beats really landed. Spoiler Warning Full spoilers for Outlander Season 8 Episode 1, "Soul of a Rebel," with discussion of prior-season storylines and listener theories. Episode Snapshot Mary and Blake open by talking about why final seasons hit differently — why endings matter, why fans get more intense when a story they've lived with for years starts heading toward the finish line, and why this premiere feels like Outlander's "senior year." Then they release the hounds and dive into reactions from Nerd Clan members, emails, Facebook comments, and voicemails. A lot of listeners loved being back on the Ridge, seeing Fergus and Marsali again, hearing the Skye Boat Song, getting the modern books in the past, and watching Lord John calmly and efficiently parent William into adulthood. But there is also one thing that seems to be uniting almost everyone: the Faith storyline is setting people off. Some think it undercuts one of the most devastating arcs the show has ever done. Others are willing to let it play out. And a few are already spinning wild theories about Claire's family, time travel, and how all of this may connect to the endgame. Also in this episode Why Mary sees Outlander's final season as the show's "senior year" Why Blake thinks endings give the whole journey meaning Why so many listeners are pushing back on the Faith storyline The split over the Ridge reunion: moving or underwhelming? Why Lord John continues to be the adult in every room Frank's eerie presence, BJR's haunt, and Jamie's reaction to the book Listener theories about Fanny, Claire's family, Master Raymond, and BomB connections A genuinely great new listener-feedback bit: "Conversations With My TV" Segments Included Opening final-season conversation Join The Nerd Clan reactions Email reactions Facebook comments Voicemails Final takeaways and outro NerdClan CTA Support the show and get all the bonus content at JoinTheNerdClan.com.
