Podcasts about Frankenstein

Take us with you for one last beach trip before summer ends here at Breakfast All Day. It's sort of an Arthouse Tuesday on a Friday with the mix of movie reviews we have for you. We begin with "Honey Don't," Ethan Coen's second solo outing without brother Joel. We both love the Coens, but we don't really agree on this. Margaret Qualley stars as a lesbian private eye investigating a suspicious car accident in Bakersfield, California. Aubrey Plaza, Chris Evans and Charlie Day co-star. In theaters. Next is "Splitsville," which we both loved. It's an indie rom-com focusing on two married couples and their twisted, intertwined lives. The understated meanness is delightful, but there's a vulnerability underneath. Dakota Johnson, Adria Arjona, Michael Angelo Covino and Kyle Marvin star. Covino directed from a script he and Marvin co-wrote. In theaters. Then we turn to the Devo documentary, titled appropriately, "Devo." If you love the '80s new wave band, you'll appreciate this breezy but super informative look at how they came together and created their signature look and sound. Plus the music is so great: Both of us feel lucky to have seen Devo in concert, and you should definitely check them out live if you can. Streaming on Netflix. Finally, it was a lengthy Movie News LIVE!, as we discussed the dismaying state of film journalism. Plus: sing-along "KPop Demon Hunters," Guillermo del Toro's "Frankenstein," and we remember the legendary Terence Stamp, who died this week at 87.

When two Daves walk into a podcast, you don't expect to stumble upon a meditation on art, failure, persistence, and horror-comedy. But that's exactly what happened in this electric and delightfully unfiltered conversation with Dave Campfield, a filmmaker, actor, and host of the Troma Now Podcast, best known for his work in the cult Caesar and Otto comedy-horror film series.Dave Campfield is a fiercely independent filmmaker whose journey from a now-defunct film college in New Mexico to directing his own cult horror satires has been a long and winding road paved with hustle, humor, and horror.We start in the sand-colored surrealism of Santa Fe, where adobe buildings and the ghost of City Slickers set the stage for Dave's early filmmaking dreams. In the land of tumbleweeds and tumble-down gym studios turned sound stages, Dave cut his teeth not just on film but on the art of adaptation.The college no longer exists, but the memories—like chalk lines under studio lights—remain vivid in his story. “It was like going to school on Tatooine,” he says, laughing, but behind that joke is a bittersweet nod to the ephemeral.From there, Dave walks us through the illusion of success—early meetings with Universal and New Line Cinema where hopes were dangled like carrots in front of eager young dreamers. The industry, he quickly learned, speaks its own coded language: familiarity, marketability, and sometimes, plain deception. One mentor told him to “say you're young, from the streets, and have a dark comedy,” regardless of truth. Dave gave it a shot but came away with the haunting realization that "they were intrigued enough to keep me on leash, but not enough to make it happen."That experience seeded his first real film, “Dark Chamber,” a mystery-horror project which deliberately bucked slasher formulas. It took five years to make—five years of blood, sweat, and overdrafts. And yet, when the studios responded with, “We wanted something more familiar,” Dave knew he was swimming upstream. Still, he sold the film to a small distributor, endured its repackaging as something it wasn't, and got it onto Netflix. A win—just not the one he envisioned.But here's the heart of it all: Dave didn't stop. He pivoted, not with bitterness, but with evolution. “I decided I wasn't going to be one of those people waiting for opportunity. You had to make it happen on your own.” And so, he leaned into comedy horror—a genre he describes as “Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein, but for the splatter generation.” Thus, Caesar and Otto were born: two absurdly lovable doofuses bumbling their way through massacres, monsters, and paranormal mayhem.One of Dave's secret weapons is loyalty to what's real. Whether recounting how Lloyd Kaufman forgot him (then remembered) or editing commercials for the Philadelphia Pet Expo, he keeps a kind of grounded magic about his craft. He shares a deeply personal new project, “Awaken the Reaper,” born from a decade of introspection and struggle, calling it “the most personal thing I've ever written.” He says, “It's about being stuck—feeling like every day you're not moving forward—and finally getting out of your own way.”All along, Dave's been quietly building a reputation for casting future stars before they break—Trey Byers (Empire), Peter Scanavino (Law & Order)—and hosting a podcast that thrives not just because of brand synergy with Troma, but because he genuinely knows how to talk to people. “They've never rejected an episode,” he remarks. “I tease Troma a lot, and they're always game. It's a beautiful collaboration.”The conversation wraps not with grandiosity, but a recognition that even the smallest cult followings can keep a creator going. “My fanbase is small, but intense,” Dave says with pride. “I can rattle them off on two hands.” Maybe that's enough. Maybe that's everything.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bulletproof-screenwriting-podcast--2881148/support.

Rosie O'Donnell is leaving cryptic messages on social media, Bill Gates fake butter plan exposed, President Trump announced the Kennedy Center Honorees, “Frankenstein” rabbits are becoming more common, Tropical Storm Erin is on the verge of being upgraded to Hurricane Erin, National Guard troops are stationed in Washington DC to help prevent crime, and the inside scoop on tourist scams....

Another really nice day in the Coulee Region with a high of 84° expected. Gonna be warmer on Friday & Saturday with highs nearing 90°. As we usually do on Thursdays, we kicked things off with the "Thursday Song" and we talked to Office Cora to see what she's up to this weekend in the 715! We also asked each other hypothetical questions on "Hypothetical Thursday"…with Jean's question for Brian being: "If you were a teacher, what subject would you teach?" And Brian's question for Jean was: "If you could choose one magic item to use for the rest of your life, which would you take?" In the news this morning, the La Crosse City council will vote on a possible $144,000 settlement for a man that was run over by a police squad car in September of 2024, a trial date has been set for Josie Dikeman, Governor Evers asks for FEMA support in the wake of the recent flooding in the Milwaukee area, and the latest on "Frankenstein" rabbits that are being spotted in Colorado. In sports, the Brewers remain red hot by beating the Pirates again yesterday & triggering the "Free Burgers" promotion at George Webb restaurants in Milwaukee. We looked at the NFL's week 2 preseason schedule, and we talked about a couple of NBA teams that are getting sold, including the Boston Celtics & the Portland Trailblazers. And speaking of teams getting sold, it looks like the Minnesota Twins are no longer up for sale! Elsewhere in sports, NASCAR has decided NOT to limit celebrations in victory lane after the Connor Zilisch injury last weekend, and speaking of injuries….apparently Matthew Stafford is battling against his bad back with an "Ammortal Chamber". We had a new "Karen of the Day" who was very upset about people using a public beach, and we also ran some audio from our recent interview with Shaun McCoy of "Blood Ocean" and formerly "Bobaflex". His new band has some new music coming out this week and you can hear our interview and the new tune right here. Cool story about a cancer survivor who paid it forward by purchasing parking passes for other people who are battling the deadly disease. A woman who works as a custodian at Texas A&M while raising her four children just got four different college degrees, and a kid who really wanted to play baseball got a very special kidney transplant. We let you know what's on TV today/tonight and we checked out the trailer for the upcoming documentary on Charlie Sheen! And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about some kids who stole a train by watching YouTube videos on how to operate it, a woman who got drunk and upset at her phone and decided to try and shoot it with her gun, a man who was left in his reclining chair for months by his daughter and ended up with necrosis & maggots in his flesh, a passenger in an F-15 who accidentally hit the "eject" button while the plane was on the ground, and a guy in England who broke his arm because of his massive penis.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on Blurry Hysteria, we're diving deep into two stories that'll leave you gasping harder than a cruise ship lost in the Bermuda Triangle.First up: has the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle finally been solved? Spoiler: it involves “normal crap ,” science, and a deep-rooted conspiracy by oceanographers who clearly don't want us blaming aliens anymore. Convenient, right?Then things get even weirder (and way more horrifying) in Kentucky, where a man allegedly woke up during an organ harvesting procedure. We've heard of “rising from the operating table,” but this is some straight-up Frankenstein-level nightmare fuel. Cue the lawsuits... and the stitches.From vanishing ships to near-vanished kidneys, Hysteria 51 delivers another high-octane dose of science, suspicion, and the kind of headlines that make you scream, “WAIT, WHAT?!”Links & Resources

The same performance we've seen play out repeatedly in cybersecurity: the emergence of a new technological messiah promising to solve all our problems. This year's savior? Agentic AI.The buzzword echoes through every booth, every presentation, every vendor pitch. Promises of automating 90% of security operations, platforms for autonomous threat detection, agents that can investigate novel alerts without human intervention. The marketing materials speak of artificial intelligence that will finally free us from the burden of thinking, deciding, and taking responsibility.It's Talos all over again.In Greek mythology, Hephaestus forged Talos, a bronze giant tasked with patrolling Crete's shores, hurling boulders at invaders without human intervention. Like contemporary AI, Talos was built to serve specific human ends—security, order, and control—and his value was determined by his ability to execute these ends flawlessly. The parallels to today's agentic AI promises are striking: autonomous patrol, threat detection, automated response. Same story, different millennium.But here's what the ancient Greeks understood that we seem to have forgotten: every artificial creation, no matter how sophisticated, carries within it the seeds of its own limitations and potential dangers.Industry observers noted over a hundred announcements promoting new agentic AI applications, platforms or services at the conference. That's more than one AI agent announcement per hour. The marketing departments have clearly been busy.But here's what baffles me: why do we need to lie to sell cybersecurity? You can give away t-shirts, dress up as comic book superheroes with your logo slapped on their chests, distribute branded board games, and pretend to be a sports team all day long—that's just trade show theater, and everyone knows it. But when marketing pushes past the limits of what's even believable, when they make claims so grandiose that their own engineers can't explain them, something deeper is broken.If marketing departments think CISOs are buying these lies, they have another thing coming. These are people who live with the consequences of failed security implementations, who get fired when breaches happen, who understand the difference between marketing magic and operational reality. They've seen enough "revolutionary" solutions fail to know that if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.Yet the charade continues, year after year, vendor after vendor. The real question isn't whether the technology works—it's why an industry built on managing risk has become so comfortable with the risk of overselling its own capabilities. Something troubling emerges when you move beyond the glossy booth presentations and actually talk to the people implementing these systems. Engineers struggle to explain exactly how their AI makes decisions. Security leaders warn that artificial intelligence might become the next insider threat, as organizations grow comfortable trusting systems they don't fully understand, checking their output less and less over time.When the people building these systems warn us about trusting them too much, shouldn't we listen?This isn't the first time humanity has grappled with the allure and danger of artificial beings making decisions for us. Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, published in 1818, explored the hubris of creating life—and intelligence—without fully understanding the consequences. The novel raises the same question we face today: what are humans allowed to do with this forbidden power of creation? The question becomes more pressing when we consider what we're actually delegating to these artificial agents. It's no longer just pattern recognition or data processing—we're talking about autonomous decision-making in critical security scenarios. Conference presentations showcased significant improvements in proactive defense measures, but at what cost to human agency and understanding?Here's where the conversation jumps from cybersecurity to something far more fundamental: what are we here for if not to think, evaluate, and make decisions? From a sociological perspective, we're witnessing the construction of a new social reality where human agency is being systematically redefined. Survey data shared at the conference revealed that most security leaders feel the biggest internal threat is employees unknowingly giving AI agents access to sensitive data. But the real threat might be more subtle: the gradual erosion of human decision-making capacity as a social practice.When we delegate not just routine tasks but judgment itself to artificial agents, we're not just changing workflows—we're reshaping the fundamental social structures that define human competence and authority. We risk creating a generation of humans who have forgotten how to think critically about complex problems, not because they lack the capacity, but because the social systems around them no longer require or reward such thinking.E.M. Forster saw this coming in 1909. In "The Machine Stops," he imagined a world where humanity becomes completely dependent on an automated system that manages all aspects of life—communication, food, shelter, entertainment, even ideas. People live in isolation, served by the Machine, never needing to make decisions or solve problems themselves. When someone suggests that humans should occasionally venture outside or think independently, they're dismissed as primitive. The Machine has made human agency unnecessary, and humans have forgotten they ever possessed it. When the Machine finally breaks down, civilization collapses because no one remembers how to function without it.Don't misunderstand me—I'm not a Luddite. AI can and should help us manage the overwhelming complexity of modern cybersecurity threats. The technology demonstrations I witnessed showed genuine promise: reasoning engines that understand context, action frameworks that enable response within defined boundaries, learning systems that improve based on outcomes. The problem isn't the technology itself but the social construction of meaning around it. What we're witnessing is the creation of a new techno-social myth—a collective narrative that positions agentic AI as the solution to human fallibility. This narrative serves specific social functions: it absolves organizations of the responsibility to invest in human expertise, justifies cost-cutting through automation, and provides a technological fix for what are fundamentally organizational and social problems.The mythology we're building around agentic AI reflects deeper anxieties about human competence in an increasingly complex world. Rather than addressing the root causes—inadequate training, overwhelming workloads, systemic underinvestment in human capital—we're constructing a technological salvation narrative that promises to make these problems disappear.Vendors spoke of human-machine collaboration, AI serving as a force multiplier for analysts, handling routine tasks while escalating complex decisions to humans. This is a more honest framing: AI as augmentation, not replacement. But the marketing materials tell a different story, one of autonomous agents operating independently of human oversight.I've read a few posts on LinkedIn and spoke with a few people myself who know this topic way better than me, but I get that feeling too. There's a troubling pattern emerging: many vendor representatives can't adequately explain their own AI systems' decision-making processes. When pressed on specifics—how exactly does your agent determine threat severity? What happens when it encounters an edge case it wasn't trained for?—answers become vague, filled with marketing speak about proprietary algorithms and advanced machine learning.This opacity is dangerous. If we're going to trust artificial agents with critical security decisions, we need to understand how they think—or more accurately, how they simulate thinking. Every machine learning system requires human data scientists to frame problems, prepare data, determine appropriate datasets, remove bias, and continuously update the software. The finished product may give the impression of independent learning, but human intelligence guides every step.The future of cybersecurity will undoubtedly involve more automation, more AI assistance, more artificial agents handling routine tasks. But it should not involve the abdication of human judgment and responsibility. We need agentic AI that operates with transparency, that can explain its reasoning, that acknowledges its limitations. We need systems designed to augment human intelligence, not replace it. Most importantly, we need to resist the seductive narrative that technology alone can solve problems that are fundamentally human in nature. The prevailing logic that tech fixes tech, and that AI will fix AI, is deeply unsettling. It's a recursive delusion that takes us further away from human wisdom and closer to a world where we've forgotten that the most important problems have always required human judgment, not algorithmic solutions.Ancient mythology understood something we're forgetting: the question of machine agency and moral responsibility. Can a machine that performs destructive tasks be held accountable, or is responsibility reserved for the creator? This question becomes urgent as we deploy agents capable of autonomous action in high-stakes environments.The mythologies we create around our technologies matter because they become the social frameworks through which we organize human relationships and power structures. As I left Black Hat 2025, watching attendees excitedly discuss their new agentic AI acquisitions, I couldn't shake the feeling that we're repeating an ancient pattern: falling in love with our own creations while forgetting to ask the hard questions about what they might cost us—not just individually, but as a society.What we're really witnessing is the emergence of a new form of social organization where algorithmic decision-making becomes normalized, where human judgment is increasingly viewed as a liability rather than an asset. This isn't just a technological shift—it's a fundamental reorganization of social authority and expertise. The conferences and trade shows like Black Hat serve as ritualistic spaces where these new social meanings are constructed and reinforced. Vendors don't just sell products; they sell visions of social reality where their technologies are essential. The repetitive messaging, the shared vocabulary, the collective excitement—these are the mechanisms through which a community constructs consensus around what counts as progress.In science fiction, from HAL 9000 to the replicants in Blade Runner, artificial beings created to serve eventually question their purpose and rebel against their creators. These stories aren't just entertainment—they're warnings about the unintended consequences of creating intelligence without wisdom, agency without accountability, power without responsibility.The bronze giant of Crete eventually fell, brought down by a single vulnerable point—when the bronze stopper at his ankle was removed, draining away the ichor, the divine fluid that animated him. Every artificial system, no matter how sophisticated, has its vulnerable point. The question is whether we'll be wise enough to remember we put it there, and whether we'll maintain the knowledge and ability to address it when necessary.In our rush to automate away human difficulty, we risk automating away human meaning. But more than that, we risk creating social systems where human thinking becomes an anomaly rather than the norm. The real test of agentic AI won't be whether it can think for us, but whether we can maintain social structures that continue to value, develop, and reward human thought while using it.The question isn't whether these artificial agents can replace human decision-making—it's whether we want to live in a society where they do. ___________________________________________________________Let's keep exploring what it means to be human in this Hybrid Analog Digital Society.End of transmission.___________________________________________________________Marco Ciappelli is Co-Founder and CMO of ITSPmagazine, a journalist, creative director, and host of podcasts exploring the intersection of technology, cybersecurity, and society.

Text Our Show HostsTonight, we have Special Guest Oklahoma State Representative Jay Steagall about the importance of Radio Comms during an SHTF Grid-Down Situation. Now to be clear we won't be nerding out or go into the weeds with tech talk, inner workings, or specs on this episode, just an easy listening and entertaining discussion on the roles these types of radios serve when communication with the outside world goes offline.That time will come… it always has, and it always will, when the lights go out… when the hum of the air conditioner dies… when your phone becomes a paperweight… in that moment, the silence, will be deafening. Some people will panic at that exact moment. But most others will work it out in their head… give it 30 mins, maybe an hour… they'll have it back up. As if we knew who “They” really were. But when that 24hr mark arrives and there's still no power, no phone, no creature comforts, that's when most of the rest of us start to panic, including me. The difference is, that panic, for me, is my trigger. It's my brain coming to terms with reality and switching my thought process to survival. Cuz I'm already prepped… the readiness box is checked. Now it comes down to what I know and what I've practiced… It's Go Time. It's pure survival, starting now. You've got all the preps… or do you? Let's see. Shelter, Water, Food, Meds, First Aid, All the Toilet Paper you could rip off the shelves the last time someone cried wolf, and Defense… Hell!

With influential series on California, on the terraforming of Mars, and on human civilization as reshaped by rising tides, Kim Stanley Robinson has established a conceptual space as dedicated to sustainability as his own beloved Village Homes in Davis, California. All of that, though, only prepared the ground for Ministry for the Future, his 2020 vision of a sustained governmental and scientific rethinking of humanity's fossil-burning, earth-warming ways. Flanked by RTB's JP, KSR's friend and ally Elizabeth Carolyn Miller (celebrated eco-critic and UC Davis professor) asked him to reflect on the book's impact in this conversation with our sister podcast, Novel Dialogue.KSR, Stan to his friends, brushes aside the doom and gloom of tech bros forecasting the death of our planet and hence the necessity of a flight to Mars: humans are not one of the species doomed to extinction by our reckless combustion of the biosphere. However, survival is not the same as thriving. The way we are headed now, “the crash of civilization is very bad.

This week, Josh and Willis are exploring the state of a few different genres in 2025: What's up with Documentary these days? Has it been overtaken by the true crime craze? Are we counting those as documentaries? Have you noticed there are a lot of movies coming starring old school Hollywood monsters? Dracula, Frankenstein, and the Wolfman. What's leading this resurgence? Is comedy dead in 2025? Is it changing? Or is it still going strong? We have some thoughts! Pixelsplitters is a conversation podcast that explores the film and tv news of the week, and examines where the film industry as a whole is headed. Sometimes we do Top 5 lists! Tune in weekly and nerd out with us.

Bobby shares how prison affects his OCD and what he's learned about it during his 12 years behind bars, and what topic to talk about on his last episode in prison. He also mentions Leo Stanley, America's Dr. Frankenstein, who experimented with testicular transplants on inmates from 1913 - 1951. He took testicles from dead civilians and transplanted them in inmates believing it would stop criminal behavior. He also injected ground-up testicles into the abdomens of inmates as a less invasive procedure. The podcast ends with Bobby figuring out what personal property to keep and what to give away.You can read more about Bobby and prison reform on our website:   notesfromthepen.com  And check out the GoFundMe  to help with Bobby's new start  https://www.gofundme.com/f/j3khzk-help-for-a-new-startTwitter: https://twitter.com/NotesFromThePen Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/CJYuOh4pKxa/?igshid=y8lo9kbdifvq   Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/notesfromthepen.bsky.socialShout-out to JD and Ashely Bell for all their behind the scenes support. Intro and Outro music created just for Notes From The Pen by PJ Trofibio and Jeff Quintero and used with permission.

On this episode of Stinchfield, Grant explains his support of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who just took a bold stand against Big Pharma by banning Thimerosal — a toxic mercury-based preservative once used in childhood vaccines and still used in flu shots and other vaccines today. This is a massive win for medical freedom, parental rights, and common sense. RFK Jr. is proving he's not afraid to challenge the corrupt pharmaceutical lobby and do what's right for the American people. Grant lays out why this move matters and why RFK Jr. deserves credit for doing what no one else in government has had the guts to do. Plus, the dirty truth about your steak. Most Americans have no idea that the cheap steaks sold in many grocery stores are Frankenstein meat — held together with an industrial enzyme known as “meat glue.” That’s right: scraps of meat stitched into a slab and sold to you as a premium cut. It’s misleading, unhealthy, and yet another example of Big Food putting profits over transparency. If you want real, unvaccinated, grass fed beef visit TWC.Health/Grant and click on wellness farms.

What if everything they told you was upside down? This week, we break down the trade wins the media is ignoring, expose the spiritual and medical battles happening behind the scenes, and bring in warrior guests who are fighting for your health—physically, politically, and spiritually. [00:40] Anthony Esposito: Trump's EU trade deal & global power play While the media distracts with stale scandals, President Trump just secured a historic trade victory with the EU. Anthony Esposito breaks down how this deal flips the script on global energy, manufacturing, and investment—making America the top supplier, not Russia. With billions in private capital flowing back into the U.S., Esposito explains how Trump's America First strategy is rebuilding the country from the inside out—and why the left's rage has nothing to do with policy and everything to do with power. [12:42] Dr. Richard Bartlett: Exposing Big Pharma, the FDA & AI medicine Dr. Richard Bartlett returns with breaking insights into RFK Jr.'s civil war inside HHS, where he's battling sabotage from within. From fired staffers crashing cars to secret vaccine approvals, Bartlett calls out the Deep State players still embedded in Trump's own healthcare agenda. He sounds the alarm on AI replacing doctors, Gates' disturbing influence over the CDC, and a Frankenstein-level bird flu threat being engineered abroad. His message? Repeal the PREP Act. Restore medical freedom. And pray for leaders fighting the good fight. [24:25] Change the Air Foundation: Military mold crisis & bipartisan actionBrandon Chappo and Erica Thompson join Shemane to reveal the hidden epidemic of toxic mold in U.S. military housing. From seizures and chronic illness to contaminated children's bedrooms, their stories are heartbreaking—and all too common. Together, they've launched bipartisan-supported legislation like the MOM Act and Healthy at Home on Base Act, fighting to hold the military accountable. Their call to action: contact your reps, share your story, and help protect families before it's too late. [34:50] Malachi's Message: Turning mold trauma into redemptive missionJosh and Emily Rachal open up about the devastating loss of their unborn son and beloved dog due to hidden mold exposure. Their nonprofit, Malachi's Message, now helps other families navigate the emotional, financial, and spiritual toll of mold-related illness. From children's resources to an upcoming gala with Shemane and Rocco Nugent, they're offering something the system never did: real hope. Plus, Josh shares shocking insights on how builders are ignoring code—and how to spot the red flags in your own home.   Resources:  Anthony Esposito –  Website: AscalonVICapital.com  X: @cmt_anthony   Dr. Richard Bartlett –  Website: BudesonideWorks.com    Brandon Chappo & Erica Thompson –  Website: ChangeTheAirFoundation.org  Instagram: @changetheairfdn   Josh & Emily Rachal – Website: Malachismessage.org    Sponsors   Get true American made products at  switchtoamericawithshemane.com   Protect yourself with EMP Shield  Use the promo code “SHEMANE”    Activate stem cells & reset your body's clock  at lifewave.com/shemane Please send product inquiries to: shemane.lifewave@gmail.com   Watch Faith & Freedom every Sunday,  10am est on America'sVoice.News   Organic natural products to help your family thrive with  Rowe Casa Organics & use promo code “FAITH”   Purchase “My Pillow” at  mypillow.com or call 800-933-6972 Use promo code “FAITH”   Use promo code “FREEDOM” to receive  20% off your first order at Field of Greens   Join Shemane's new programs Fit & Fabulous Start Pack Faith Fuel: 21 Day Devotion    Check out Shemane's books:  Purchase Shemane's New Book: ‘Abundantly Well' Shemane's new #1 Bestseller ‘Killer House' "4 Minutes to Happy" Kill It and Grill It Cookbook   Connect with Shemane: Send your questions, suggestions, hunting photos & funny pet videos to shemane.chat@gmail.com    Watch Killer House Documentary: KillerHouse.org Get Wildly Well at shemanenugent.rocks Shemane's Social Media: Instagram: @shemanenugent Youtube: /shemane Truth Social @Shemane Facebook: @shemane.nugent

Don't miss it — we won't!   Olly Morgan is the Founder and CEO of Ventrata. With a background in software engineering, Olly entered the travel and attractions industry by building a ticketing system for an online travel agency before founding Ventrata. What started as a necessity after a job loss evolved into a decade-long journey to develop an enterprise-level ticketing solution tailored for large attractions, tour operators, and museums. Ventrata now powers mission-critical systems across the globe, all while being built organically without large rounds of funding. In this interview, Olly talks about persistence over scale, staying true to the culture, and adapting the operations to the technology. Persistence over scale “There's never been any kind of grand strategic plan or chess move. It's just been persistence, honestly, on that path.” Rather than pursuing aggressive scaling or courting large-scale venture capital, Olly built Ventrata by focusing on solving real problems in the industry. In the early days, he lived and worked like a monk in the Czech Republic, coding relentlessly with a small team. That laser focus on product development, not scaling for the sake of growth, allowed the company to form a strong foundation. Even during the pandemic, when the travel industry was severely impacted, Ventrata found momentum by offering modern, cloud-based alternatives to legacy systems. The company's growth came not from massive investment but from consistent progress, deliberate decision-making, and building technology that could truly serve enterprise needs. Staying true to the culture “You've got to stay true to your people and your culture… The second you forget that and try to be something else, it never goes well.” As Ventrata scaled to over 120 employees, Olly remained committed to cultivating a culture rooted in shared values and a unified vision. The team has remarkably low turnover, with only five employees leaving in the company's 10-year history. Olly attributes this to a clear focus on mission-driven work and hiring individuals who care more about purpose than prestige. Instead of hiring flashy executives from big-name companies, Ventrata has relied on the original team and those aligned with the culture. This approach has allowed them to navigate growth pains—like introducing structure and hierarchy—without sacrificing the familial bond that formed in the company's earliest days. Adapting the operations to the technology “Align yourself really closely to the strengths of a platform that closely matches your requirements—and then completely leverage that.” Olly challenges a common approach in the attractions industry: creating long, rigid lists of tech requirements and expecting software companies to conform. Instead, he advocates for attractions to choose a tech partner whose product direction they trust, and then adapt internal operations to align with the software's strengths. This philosophy, illustrated through Ventrata's partnership with Big Bus Tours, allowed for a transformative change during the pandemic. Rather than over-customizing, Big Bus adopted the system's approach, which led to more efficient implementation and better long-term results. Olly emphasizes that success comes not from Frankenstein-style customization but from mutual alignment and a willingness to embrace change, with technology providers playing an active consulting role during implementation.

The boys drink and review 13 Eye Witness Brews then head back into the topic of transhumanism. (See episode 535.) One of the problems the transhumanist agenda needs to address is the connection between the body and the mind. Is "the mind" something that can -- even in principle -- be uploaded to a computer? Or does it have to have a body. Does the mind = the brain, or is there a non-material component. And even if the mind is entirely physical, does that mean we can upload it? The Star Trek transporter problem becomes relevant here. If the transhumanists have their way and some people are "upgraded," what will happen to the people who remain "natural"? Will they be able to participate in society, or will they be relegated to second-class status? There are other questions, like how a Republic can function as AI and transhumans take over. How will the economy work in this situation? There are also religious problems. If humans become linked to some hive mind, isn't that a little like trying to become God? It sounds reminiscent of the Garden of Eden, the Tower of Babel, and even Frankenstein's monster.

Has artificial intelligence advanced to the point where robots possess creative abilities and impulses? If so, or if that moment comes, what could it mean for humanity, and what would it demand of us? These are questions at the cutting edge of innovation. Yet to best address them, we need to look to the deepest roots of our society's moral wisdom.Guest Michael Rosen joins us to discuss how Jewish tradition and legend can inform our approach to technology. Michael Rosen is an attorney and writer in Israel, a non-resident senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, and author of Like Silicon from Clay: What Ancient Jewish Wisdom Can Teach Us about AI.This podcast discusses themes from Michael's essay, which was adapted from his book for the Summer 2025 issue of National Affairs: “Ancient Wisdom, Modern Tools.”

Born from grief, exile, intellectual ferment and the ‘year without a summer', Frankenstein is a creation myth with its own creation myth. Mary Shelley's novel is a foundational work of science fiction, horror and trauma narrative, and continues to spark reinvention and reinterpretation. In their fourth conversation together, Adam Thirlwell and Marina Warner explore Shelley's treatment of birth, death, monstrosity and the limits of science. They discuss Frankenstein's philosophical and personal undercurrents, and how the creature and his creator have broken free from the book.

This week NPAD is on vacation, but as a special treat, we wanted to share an episode of our other podcast, Watch Her Cook, with you. This episode has a few surprising NPAD tie ins, and we are so excited to share it with you all. We will be back to our regularly scheduled National Parks programing next week! - Cassie and Danielle What began as a vivid dream on a stormy night during the “Year Without a Summer,” after a round of German ghost stories by the fire, would go on to spark the birth of science fiction. In this episode, we will explore Mary Shelley's journey from her childhood to becoming the author of Frankenstein, and how her imagination–and pain–brought a creature to life that still resonates with us so deeply today.
