Bon, il y a un jeune français qui s'est fait arrêter à Saint-Domingue. Well, there's a young Frenchman who was arrested in Santo Domingo.Et la raison, c'est qu'il a essayé de passer une grosse quantité de cocaïne dans son corps. And the reason is that he tried to smuggle a large quantity of cocaine in his body.On parle d'un jeune de 19 ans, il avait avalé, écoutez bien, 1,6 kg de cocaïne. We're talking about a 19-year-old, he had swallowed, listen carefully, 1.6 kg of cocaine.C'est quand même énorme. That's quite enormous.Il a dû expulser 141 petits sachets, vous savez, en latex noir et bleu dans un centre médical après coup. He had to expel 141 small sachets, you know, in black and blue latex in a medical center afterwards.Les autorités dominicaines, la DNCD, c'est leur agence anti-drogue, pensent qu'il fait partie du trafic international lié à des réseaux criminels organisés. The Dominican authorities, the DNCD, which is their anti-drug agency, believe he is part of the international trafficking linked to organized criminal networks.Ces réseaux recrutent des passeurs, des mules, comme on dit, ils leur offrent de l'argent pour voyager jusqu'à Saint-Domingue où on leur fournit la drogue et ensuite, hop, direction les États-Unis ou l'Europe. These networks recruit smugglers, "mules," as they are called, they offer them money to travel to Santo Domingo where they are supplied with the drug, and then, hop, off to the United States or Europe.Faut bien voir que la République Dominicaine, c'est vraiment une plaque tournante majeure pour la cocaïne. It must be noted that the Dominican Republic is truly a major hub for cocaine.Ce n'est pas nouveau hein. It's not new, you know.Juste pour vous donner une idée, rien qu'en 2024, les autorités là-bas ont saisi plus de 37 tonnes de cocaïne. Just to give you an idea, in 2024 alone, the authorities there seized more than 37 tons of cocaine. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

Send us a textAshley Barnes walks us through the craft behind Lucky Seven's luxe finishes and Curley's everyday versatility while we trade festival stories, hotel speakeasy tips, and single-barrel wins. From refurbished French oak to five-day Amburana cycles, we dig into how consistency, balance, and smart lab design keep each pour true.• Lucky Seven's luxury profile, cigar-lounge vibe, and age statements• Refurbished French oak on The Frenchman for layered depth• Amburana strategy on The New Yorker with rapid, repeated cycles• Finishing to profile and pulling barrels at readiness• Single-barrel identification during blend building• Blending lab design for speed, control, and consistency• Curley's heritage revival, D.J. Curley's bluegrass legacy• Curley as a versatile, citrus-friendly house bourbon at $39.99• Festival community, bottle signings, and bourbon-minded hospitalityLucky Seven Small Batch available here at Kentucky Bourbon FestivalEver wonder how a master blender keeps luxury bourbon silky, expressive, and consistent without sanding off its soul? We sit down with Ashley Barnes to unpack the real work behind Lucky Seven's hallmark finishes and the revival of Curley, a heritage Kentucky name with bluegrass roots and modern bar-cart value. Ashley opens the doors to her process—why refurbished French oak gives The Frenchman more depth than new wood, how five-to-seven-day Amburana cycles capture pastry-shop spice without burying the bourbon, and the way “finish to profile” timing creates batches that feel both reliable and alive.We dig into the nuts and bolts of selection—how single barrels are discovered during blend building, why outliers become treasured releases, and how consistency comes from decisions, not luck. Ashley also shares the physical side of craft: a purpose-built blending lab with custom cabinetry and clean workflow that protects sensory focus, speeds iteration, and keeps notes tight over months of tasting. The result is a portfolio that hits an old-Hollywood, cigar-lounge mood for Lucky Seven while staying unmistakably Kentucky.Then we time-travel with Curley, honoring D.J. Curley's early 1900s ambition and reintroducing a house bourbon designed for real life—neat, rocks, or citrus-forward cocktails—at a price that invites it into weekly rotation. Add Kentucky Bourbon Festival stories, friendly chaos in signing lines, and a hotel speakeasy built for bourbon-minded conversation, and you've got an episode that blends technique, history, and community in equal parts. If you love learning how great whiskey is truly made—and why some bottles keep tasting great—hit play, subscribe, and tell us your favorite finish or cocktail. Your pour might just inspire the next blend.If You Have Gohsts Add for SOFLSupport the showhttps://www.scotchybourbonboys.com The Scotchy bourbon Boys are #3 in Feedspots Top 60 whiskey podcasts in the world https://podcast.feedspot.com/whiskey_podcasts/

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Saturday morning, the 11th of October, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. If we go to the Book of Ecclesiastes 9:10: ”Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might,…” Whatever you do!A friend came to see me and gave me a little booklet. It's called “The Practice of the Presence of God”, by a monk who lived over 300 years ago. His name was Brother Lawrence. He was a Frenchman, and this book has really impacted me. This man was just a monk in a monastery, he was nothing special, but he had the presence of God in his life all the time. He was actually the cook in the monastery and he would be cooking in the kitchen and while he was cooking he was praying, and he had the presence of the Lord in him so whatever he did, whether it was cooking, washing the dishes (by the way, he also mended sandals for the other monks in the monastery although he himself always walked barefoot) but he continually had the Presence of God in his life. So he would be cooking in the kitchen and a group of other monks would be there asking him questions, ”What about this?” and “What about that?” And he managed to do it all together. Now I'm thinking of mothers today. You are struggling to get the sandwiches made for the children for school, trying to organise dad's clothes, and wondering, ”When am I going to have my quiet time?” Well, Brother Lawrence had a quiet time 24/7, so there is no excuse for us. You and I can do exactly the same as Brother Lawrence. We can condition ourselves, discipline our hearts and minds, and think about heavenly things, praying and singing as we do our work!Whether you are working in a garage, fixing a motorcar, you'll find the customer might be standing by and asking you questions, ”Why have you got so much peace in your heart? Why are you always happy?” A doctor - what an opportunity when someone is not well, to be able to encourage them with the Word of God, not so much by preaching but just by the presence of the Lord in your heart.Today, use every opportunity that you have to speak to others about the blessed Lord Jesus Christ, and you don't have to be a preacher. You just have to do your work and to do it well and God will do the rest.Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day, Goodbye.

We start our 3 part series on the so-called Traditionalist movement by reading Mark Sedgwick's 2004 book Against the Modern World, and examining the life and activities of the very weird Frenchman called Rene Guenon, who is considered to be the founder of this very modern anti-modern tendency.

Anything can be a death defying stunt until something goes wrong but that hasn't stopped people for hundreds of years of making spectacles of doing what seems impossible. This week on Chubstep Steed and Jrad start with why Steed's apartment smells like fish, almost getting pulled into the water deep sea fishing in Miami, getting kicked out of the exit row on a plane, a walking stereotype, and Steed breaking into a construction site causing light pollution before getting to the main topic, daredevils. The guys start with the Frenchman credited with inventing the parachute by jumping out of a hot air balloon, a teacher jumping over the Niagara Falls, the first famous American daredevil, Charles Lindberg's checkered past, a hero's stolen plane for Tanzania in ‘Tanzania News', the naming of Angel Falls, Ben Affleck in Daredevil, an influencer's accident on a skyscraper, the wild beginnings that led to the legend Evel Knievel, and The Flying Wallendas

On the latest RAW Trev Downey and Guy Drinkel reflect on a 2-1 victory over Southampton in the first round of the Carabao Cup which saw Alexander Isak get off the mark and Hugo Ekitike score the winner (the good) only for the Frenchman to be sent off for a daft second yellow card (the bad) and the whole game to be placed under a cloud by the serious injury to the incredibly impressive Giovanni Leoni (the ugly).

In the early morning hours of December 2nd, 1805, Rostov was patrolling the skirmishing line near Bagration's detachment. Behind him he could see his army's campfires glowing. In front the French were covered by misty darkness. Rostov was exhausted. His eyes would close and his fancy appeared—now the Emperor, then Denísov or whirling Moscow memories. His hussar companion occasionally alerted him to steer his horse out of bushes.   He was disappointed his unit was not advancing and wanted to ask for permission to join the attack. He was dreaming about The Czar, envisioning how they would have a chance encounter and he would receive an assignment. He was confident he would do a superb job and develop a relationship with the sovereign.  How faithfully he would guard Alexander, tell him the truth and unmask any deceivers!   Rostov pictured how he would humiliate and kill an enemy of the state, either a Frenchman or a deceitful German ally, all in the presence of Alexander. Suddenly, a distant shout aroused him. He opened his eyes but only noticed the surrounding hills and white patches of snow. His mind veered toward his sister, who he wished to tell of his acquaintance with the Czar.  Soon enough, there noticeable sounds in the distance. It appeared to be commotion from a group. He noticed fires igniting all along the landscape.  The shouting grew louder.  He was near one of the main French camps. Rostov could hear French spoken but not the words. The voices merged into a roar only an army could produce.  The lights spread and he heard the triumphant shouting of the enemy – the famous, “Vive l'Empereur! Vive l'Empereur!”  He was witnessing inspired men, more genuine than anything in Rostov's camp.  The spectacle was so obvious that it attracted Generals Bagration and Dulgarukov. The latter suggested it was just a decoy.  Dulgarukov felt the main force retreated but Bagration realized his adversary was a force to be reckoned with and directed Rostov and a few others to investigate.  Rostov was frightened but thrilled to propel into danger.  Bagration called out for the group to not go beyond a certain stream. Rostov pretended not to hear the order. The French voices grew closer and soon enough there was shooting.  The Hussars presence may have been noticed but it also could have been excited French firing  into the air.   Rostov's group retreated back to Bagration.  Rostov reported that the French presence was consistent with previous scouting. Bagration thanked Rostov, who leaped at the opportunity to ask to join a squadron that would  advance.  Bagration allows Rostov to join his own unit, sensing he is meeting Ilya Rostov's son.  Rostov thanks the Lord and felt he was a step closer to becoming involved with the Emperor.    Tolstoy, as Narrator, lets us in on what was happening among the French. There was celebration because Napoleon was riding and sometimes walking through the camps while his written orders were being read.  This would cause the fires, as soldiers would light wisps of straw and run after him; and others would fire guns into the air.   Further, the soldiers knew the critical battle would be fought on the anniversary of Napoleon's coronation, just a year prior at Notre Dame. This was considered a good omen. Tolstoy conveys Napoleon's inspirational and historic message. It includes: Soldiers! I direct all your battalions. I will keep out of fire if you -- with your habitual valor carry disorder and confusion into the enemy's ranks -- but should victory be in doubt, even for a moment, you will see your Emperor exposing himself to the first blows of the enemy, for there must be no doubt of victory, especially on this day when the honour of the French infantry is at stake, so necessary to the honour of our nation.

An Arendt expert has arrived at Arendt-obsessed Recall This Book. Lyndsey Stonebridge discusses her widely praised 2024 We Are Free to Change the World: Hannah Arendt's Lessons in Love and Disobedience. Lesley sees both radical evil and the banality of evil at work in Nazi Germany and in the causes of suffering and death in Gaza today. She compares the moral idiocy of authoritarians (like the murderous Nazis and those who are starving Gaza) to that of philosophers who cannot hear the echoes of what they are doing. Lesley and John discuss Arendt's belief in the fragile ethics of the Founding Fathers, with its checks and balances and its politics based not on emotion but cool deliberation. Arendt could say that “The fundamental contradiction of [America] is political freedom coupled with social slavery,”” but why was she too easy on the legacy of imperial racism in America, missing its settler-colonial logic? Arendt read W. E. B. DuBois (who saw and said this) but perhaps, says Lesley, not attentively enough. Lyndsey is not a fan of Jonathan Glazer's Zone of Interest, because it makes the evil banality of extermination monstrous all over again (cf. her"Mythic Banality: Jonathan Glazer and Hannah Arendt.") Responsibility is crucial: She praises Arendt for distinguishing between temptation and coercion. Mentioned in the episode: Carnation Revolution in Portugal in 1974 one of the last great historical events in Arendt's lifetime. Lesley praises “reading while walking” and the unpacking of the totalitarian in Anna Burns's marvelous Norther Ireland novel, Milkman. Hannah Pitkin's wonderful 1998 The Attack of the Blob: Hannah Arendt's Concept of the Social, emphasizes Arendt's idea that although we are free, we can forfeit that freedom by assuming we are rule-bound. Arendt on the challenge of identity: “When one is attacked as a Jew, one must respond not as a German or a Frenchman or a world citizen, but as a Jew.” The Holocaust is a crime agains humanity a crime against the human status, a crime "perpetrated on the body of the Jewish people".” Various books by Hannah Arendt come up: Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on teh Banality of Evil. (1963). Judgement in Arendt is crucial from earliest days studying Kant and in her final works (among The Life of the Mind) she speaks of the moments when "the mind goes visiting.” Her earliest ideas about love and natality are in Love and Saint Augustine (1929, not published in English until 1996). Hannah Arendt is buried at Bard, near her husband Heinrich Blucher and opposite Philip Roth, who reportedly wanted to capture some of the spillover Arendt traffic. James Baldwin's essay “The Fire Next Time” (1963) caused Arendt to write Baldwin about the difference between pariah love and the love of those in power, who think that love can justify lashing out with power. Recallable Books Lyndsey praises Leah Ypi's (Free) forthcoming memoir about her Albanian family, Indignity. John recalls E. M Forster, Howard's End a novel that thinks philosophically (in a novelistic vein) about how to continue being an individual in a new Imperial Britain. Listen and Read here.

Judgement in Arendt is crucial from earliest days studying Kant and in her final works (among The Life of the Mind) she speaks of the moments when "the mind goes visiting.” Her earliest ideas about love and natality are in Love and Saint Augustine (1929, not published in English until 1996). Hannah Arendt is buried at Bard, near her husband Heinrich Blucher and opposite Philip Roth, who reportedly wanted to capture some of the spillover Arendt traffic. James Baldwin's essay “The Fire Next Time” (1963) caused Arendt to write Baldwin about the difference between pariah love and the love of those in power, who think that love can justify lashing out with power. Recallable Books Lyndsey praises Leah Ypi's (Free) forthcoming memoir about her Albanian family, Indignity. John recalls E. M Forster, Howard's End a novel that thinks philosophically (in a novelistic vein) about how to continue being an individual in a new Imperial Britain. Listen and Read here.

The night before the Battle, General Weyrother, who coordinated the advance, traveled to Kutuzov's quarters in a castle near Austerlitz for a council of war. Kutuzov was a reluctant and relegated host.   Weyrother is presented as full of vigor while Kutuzov was morose, with his uniform unbuttoned and nearly asleep in a chair. Weyrother was familiar with the terrain but was unable to competently explain the nature of this Moravian land. He spoke in front of an enormous map and went through the battle-plan. It involved a flanking maneuver and pursuit over a forest as well as descriptions of how the columns would march. He was exhausted and lost all sense of deference to the other attendees. Kutuzov's response was to snore – at one point waking up startled and giving a condescending “YES! YES!,” and nodding off again.   Tolstoy then symbolizes how some high-level officers are said to have reacted at the historic encounter.   Friedrich Wilhelm Graf von Buxhöwden, hardly paid attention. Like many of the Russian  officer class, his name had German roots.  Mikhail Miloradovich  “with wide-open eyes and a mustache twisted upwards,” sat in a military posture remaining silent.  Unimpressed, he complained to himself but loud enough to be heard, “A geography lesson!?”  Dimitry Dohktúrov, a small and modest man.  was studying the unfamiliar localities on the map and found the plan confusing.  There was also Count Louis Langeron, a French émigré, who gazed at his delicate fingers twirling a gold snuffbox. He tried to contribute his own ideas but was rebuffed.  A prominent Polish official, Ignacy Przebyszéwski,  was  described as carrying a dignified politeness. Thus, the command was an eclectic mix of ethnic Germans, aristocratic Russians, a Frenchman and even a Pole. Late in the council, Langeron finally got a chance to convey how difficult it would be to carry out such a strategy since the enemy's position was only assumed and Bonaparte might attack and render the plan worthless.  Tolstoy expresses that those spoken down to could have advised Weyrother about military matters. It is a hindsight presentation of a doomed mission. Historically, Weyrother would not have been spearheading the effort if Gen. Johann Schmit had not been killed. Weyrother met all objections with contempt, finding it ridiculous to debate a disposition approved by the Emperors. He felt the only thing to fear was the French retreating. He noted: “If Napolean could attack us, he would have done so today.” When Weyrother is nearly finished, Tolstoy brings in the fictional Andrei to get into the mindset of the noble officer who faces such an affair. Andrei asks for a clarification but Weyrother cuts him off with  “Gentlemen, the dispositions for tomorrow—or rather for today, for it is past midnight—cannot be altered. You have heard them and we shall all do our duty. Before a battle, there is nothing more important than to have a good sleep.”  Andrei could sense that nobody was inspired by the talk.  He wondered how Alexander was not influenced by Kutuzov's reticence.  He realized all their lives were placed at needless risk.  He considers, “It is very likely that I shall be killed tomorrow” and  a series of memories arose.  Andrei remembered parting from his father and dwelled on his wife and her pregnancy. In a softened mood he went out into the early December night. “Tomorrow everything may be over for me and these memories will be no more.”  He became certain he would be called to account as a soldier and man.  He pictured the battle in light of the sober analysis from Kutuzov. He imagined having the opportunity to firmly express his opinion of the futility of the present course to Kutuzov, Weyrother and the Emperors. While they would be impressed, no one would listen to him. He visualizes the forthcoming hesitation. He senses that his Toulon (the famous battle that catapulted Napoleon's career)  will present itself and envisions taking a regiment and leading it victory. He even pictures Kutuzov being removed appointed in the Commander's place! However, another voice suggesting he would be wounded or killed.  He considered, “I don't know what will happen, but admits he desires Glory -- to be known to men and loved by them.”  He finds no Fault that earthly glory is all that he lives for! In pursuit of such esteem, he fears nothing, neither his own death nor the loss of his family.  Though his family is precious, he has psyched himself up to point that he would trade them all for just a moment of that glory.

Today on “More Monsters” we're tuning in to a 1947 episode of Mystery in the Air, starring the incomparable Peter Lorre, master of “the creep.” This week's story is The Horla, adapted from Guy de Maupassant's classic tale of a Frenchman slowly losing his grip on reality thanks to an invisible presence. Lorre had a reputation for his intense performances on this series. During one episode he supposedly threw his script. To calm you down, you'll also hear a few vintage ads for Camel cigarettes and Prince Albert pipe tobacco.

It's US Open lead-up week, which can only mean one thing… Mixed Doubles madness! But that's not all — Cincinnati once again proved brutal, delivering one of the toughest two-week stretches on tour as players battled the sweltering Ohio heat and a wave of retirements. Jannik Sinner's sudden illness handed Carlos Alcaraz his first Cincy crown, while Iga Swiatek overpowered Jasmine Paolini to reclaim the World No. 2 spot. Frenchman (and massive Pokémon fan) Terence Atmane enjoyed a dream run to the semi-finals, and Elena Rybakina put on a clinic against World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka, with coach Stefano Vukov now officially back on tour.We also dive into our first impressions of the revamped Mixed Doubles at Flushing Meadows — unpredictable, intriguing, and highlighted by a must-watch showdown between Emma Raducanu and Carlos Alcaraz versus Jack Draper and doubles-singles supremo Jessica Pegula. Elsewhere, Venus Williams was handed a wildcard which makes her the oldest ever singles entrant in 44 years at 45 years old, while we look ahead to the final pre–US Open events in Winston-Salem, Monterrey, and Cleveland's Tennis in the Land - with Joel really not sure why there are 500 events in Mexico just before the fourth and final major gets underway in New York.And don't forget — we're back on Thursday with our US Open Draw Preview, featuring bold predictions, quarter-by-quarter analysis, and the return of Collect-a-Set!SOCIALSFollow us on Twitter, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, plus email the show tennisweeklypod@gmail.com.MERCHPurchase Tennis Weekly Merch through our Etsy store including limited edition designs by Krippa Design where all proceeds go towards the podcast so we can keep doing what we do!REVIEWS***Please take a moment to rate and review the show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your pods.

Charles de Gaulle is one of the greatest figures of twentieth century history. If Sir Winston Churchill was (in the words of Harold Macmillan) the "greatest Englishman In history", then Charles de Gaulle was without a doubt, the greatest Frenchman since Napoleon Bonaparte. Why so? In the early summer of 1940, when France was overrun by German troops, one junior general who had fought in the trenches in Verdun refused to accept defeat. He fled to London, where he took to the radio to address his compatriots back home. “Whatever happens,” he said, “the flame of French resistance must not be extinguished and will not be extinguished.” At that moment, Charles de Gaulle entered history. For the rest of the war, de Gaulle insisted he and his Free French movement were the true embodiment of France. Through sheer force of his personality and the grandeur of his vision of France, he inspired French men and women to risk their lives to resist the Nazi occupation. Usually proud and aloof, but almost always confident in his own leadership, he quarreled violently with Churchill, Roosevelt and many of his own countrymen. Yet they knew they would need his help to rebuild a shattered France. Thanks to de Gaulle, France was recognized as one of the victorious Allies when Germany was finally defeated. Then, as President of the Fifth Republic, he brought France back from the brink of a civil war over the war in Algeria. And, made the difficult decision to end the self-same war. Thereafter he challenged American hegemony, took France out of NATO, and twice vetoed British entry into the European Community in his pursuit of what he called “a certain idea of France.” Julian Jackson, Professor of History at Queen Mary College, University of London, past winner of the Wolfson History Prize and the winner in 2018 of the Paris Book Award for his book on De Gaulle--De Gaulle (Harvard University Press, 2018)--has written a magnificent biography, the first major reconsideration in over twenty years. Drawing on the extensive resources of the recently opened de Gaulle archives, Jackson reveals the conservative roots of de Gaulle's intellectual formation and upbringing, sheds new light on his relationship with Churchill, and shows how de Gaulle confronted riots at home and violent independence movements abroad from the Middle East to Vietnam. No previous biography has so vividly depicted this towering figure whose legacy remains evident in present-day France. In short Professor Jackson has written a superb book, which in every way possible is a glittering ornament in the biographical art. Charles Coutinho holds a doctorate in history from New York University. Where he studied with Tony Judt, Stewart Stehlin and McGeorge Bundy. His Ph. D. dissertation was on Anglo-American relations in the run-up to the Suez Crisis of 1956. His area of specialization is 19th and 20th-century European, American diplomatic and political history.

Lucy and Eugene are back after a little rest post-Wimbledon. Before recapping the brilliant Washington Open, we share our thoughts on Naomi Osaka parting ways with Patrick Mouratoglou. Osaka will be working with Iga Swiatek's former coach Tomasz Wiktorowski for a trial period starting in Montreal. Venus Williams was the story at the Citi Open. The 45-year-old brought the crowd and excitement to DC and made more history in the process. Taylor Townsend is the new doubles world No 1 following another title in Washington. Townsend is the first mother to be crowned world No 1! Ben Shelton and Frances Tiafoe met in the quarter-finals and the match delivered. Action now turns to Canada where Coco Gauff, Madison Keys and Jasmine Paolini are among the top seeds in Montreal. In Toronto, Arthur Fils makes his long-awaited return.

When Swedish twins Ursula and Sabina Eriksson suddenly began throwing themselves into speeding traffic on a UK motorway—captured on camera by a reality TV crew—it was only the beginning of a shared psychotic break that would lead to superhuman strength, psychiatric hospitalization, and ultimately murder.==========HOUR ONE: In 1761, a young Frenchman died violently. This tragedy would lead to what is still one of that country's most famous cases of judicial injustice. Assuming, of course, that it truly was an injustice at all. (The Mysterious Death of Marc Antoine Calas) *** Most know them as “The Hidden Folk.” The elusive and magical residents of Iceland, who live inside rocks and sometimes play games with unsuspecting passers-by. Are they real? That's a complicated question, if you ask Icelanders. (The Elves of Iceland) *** As two boys were walking back to the house on their farm, a small stone rolled past them. Then a second one. They immediately thought some other boys were hiding in the scrub and throwing stones for a joke.  They couldn't have been more wrong. (Stone Throwing Spirits) *** Belle Gunness lured numerous suitors to her Indiana farm. Not to entertain them or to be courted by them. She simply wanted to kill them in cold blood and dump their bodies in her hog pen. (Belle Gunness – The Black Widow of the Midwest) *** "They're going to steal your organs!" screamed Sabina Eriksson, before running toward oncoming traffic on the M6 highway, having already been hit head-on by a Volkswagen. Her twin sister, Ursula, legs crushed by the truck that had just run her over, was spitting and screaming at paramedics on the side of the road. Now, many years after these events, we're still no closer to understanding the chaos that occurred over two days in 2008 involving psychotic twin sisters on a UK highway. (The Disturbing Case of the Eriksson Twins)==========HOUR TWO: In 1882 the Ma'amtrasna murders, the brutal killing of several members of the Joyce family in rural Galway, caused outrage in Irish society and remains one of the most notorious homicides in Irish history. However a few years later Cork was rocked by an equally heinous case which has largely been forgotten. We'll look at the brutal murders of four family members that took place in Castletownroche, Ireland. (The Castletownroche Murders) *** An Arizona family encounters a creature from the dark side of a Navajo legend. (The Arizona Skinwalker) *** John Blair liked to keep things “in the family”. But in his case, it wasn't just a saying. It was literal. Because John was infamous for being bigamous. (Bigamous Blair) *** Dozens of Korean War GI's claimed an unidentified flying object made them all sick. Theories range from high-tech Soviet death rays to extraterrestrials studying how we engage in battle to combat-stress-induced hallucinations. What actually happened?

aka The Frenchman's Lament

In a somewhat unconventional episode this week, we tackle some of David Lynch's early short films. Specifically, his early works Six Figures Getting Sick (Six Times); The Alphabet; The Grandmother; The Amputee; The Cowboy and the Frenchman; and Lumiere, or Premonitions Following an Evil Deed.In this brisk, energetic episode, we debate the value of these early works and their influence on things we would see in his later films. Also featuring a Patron-only spot where we discuss James Gunn's latest treatment of SUPERMAN, this is a breezy and laugh-filled episode this week that we really hope you enjoy.Patron Only Segment: Superman (2025)4:29 - The Short Films of David LynchSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

With another season ahead of us, we wanted to update you about the future of Back of the Net and how you can help us as we navigate the 2025/26 season! Also, we'll go over the latest news and events emanating out of Dean Court, including Semenyo's contract extension, Alex Scott winning the U21 Euro's, and Bournemouth's pre-season friendlies. Plus, whilst Adrien Truffert is through the door at Dean Court, nervous Cherries fans will be hopeful of further incomings over the forthcoming fortnight, because, other than the Frenchman's arrival, it has been pretty quiet at AFC Bournemouth over the last week. Indeed, a cursory glance at the squad indicates that we probably have a lot of work to do! So with our first pre-season friendly in just NINE days time, we're expecting the transfer cogs to start turning again soon. AS such, there are TEN new rumours to mull over...
