If you are a Phantom nerd, you will like this podcast as Jermayn Parker and Matt Kyme discuss close to 50+ stories as they try and nail down important elements on how to create a good Phantom story.With the Phantom census currently open we are gathering data and information from hundreds of Phantom fans around the world telling us what they like, do not like and want to see happen with their Phantom. We wanted to focus on some of the questions we ask and that is about the stories and what makes them great and enjoyable for us fans.Every so often in between creator interviews and reporting and reviewing all the latest Phantom comics and Phantom news around the world we get to go nerdy. This is one of those cases to go nerdy with Matt Kyme who is both a Phantom phan but also a creator with his Frew created stories and on the Phantom video game.Some of the elements and themes we discuss are about portraying the Phantom properly and not being a purple Batman and or alternative Tarzan character. What themes like mystery, thriller, action and romance work and what doesn't work in our stories. What important lores to include like Old Jungle Sayings, retelling the oath and much more.If you would like to learn more about Matt Kyme, he has joined us on several X-Band: The Phantom Podcasts before, they are: Episode #280: Enter the PhantomEpisode #218: Matt Kyme (creator & phan)Episode #247A: Matt Kyme & The Phantom Video Game Sneak PeakEpisode #247: Playing in Lee Falk's sandboxEpisode #189: Matt Kyme, Shane Foley, Diana & HeartbreakEpisode #170: Matt Kyme & his all time favourite Phantom storyWe love comments and feedback from the Phantom phans from around the world.

Michael’s journey is a masterclass in strategic growth: from buying his first Amazon affiliate site to managing a multi-eight-figure portfolio of digital businesses across SaaS, e-commerce, content, and ad-based models. With a background in business, economics, and over 20 years in software development, Michael brings a rare blend of technical and financial insight into what makes a great acquisition—and what to avoid at all costs. In this episode, you will learn: How do you assess your budget and decide the right entry point for buying a business? Why can some deal structures kill a deal, and what works better? What did Michael’s multiple acquisitions teach him about risk, leverage, and operational focus? The evolving role of AI in online business—and whether it’s a threat, an opportunity, or both. Packed with insights from someone who’s seen it all, this episode is essential for first-time buyers and seasoned investors. Now, let’s dive in!

The 2025 Frew annual deserves a stand alone review and we spend a good 70 minutes dissecting it. The theme for this years annual is a monster theme with 8 stories with a mixture of colour & black and white over 220+ pages. What do we like, what do we not like and what rating do we give it? Listen and or watch and find out. Do not remember to let us know what you agree and or disagree with. Annuals are nothing new from around the world with British comics publishing them in hardcover albums during the 1950's to the 1980's as well as other countries publishing them. Frew published their first annual in 1991 and it was an instant hit. Frew published their first one in 1991 and it was an instant hit. Rumours are that it sold out overnight and many collectors bought dozens as investments. Ever since, Frew has released an annual. Bar the odd year (3?), a replica edition of the Frew comics have been released. Loved by some and loathed by others but they are a staple along with the annual.Since the Frew Crew has stood in the gap left by Jim Shepherd, they have released themed annuals with War, artists, Girl Phantom, Cowboy Phantoms, Animals of Edan and now its The Phantom vs The Monsters.For those who want to cherry pick there way through the podcast, we have listed what we disscused and the time stamps. We would however suggest you listen / watch to the whole podcast ;)History & background of the Frew annuals: 2 MinutesOverall thoughts on the annual: 4 Minutes & 30 SecondsStories"The Ghost and the Wolves" by Andrew Constant and Jason Paulos: 17 Minutes & 30 Seconds"Nema" by Andrew Constant and Jason Paulos: 24 Minutes"Looking Back" by Andrew Constant and Giancarlo Caracuzzo: 29 Minutes"Golem" by Johan L.

The 100th iteration of the iconic Supanova pop culture convention, in Brisbane November 2024, was a landmark event, especially for Phantom fans who descended upon the city in numbers. This year's gathering was a celebration of all things Phantom, with a host of activities and special guests that made it an unforgettable experience.Among the highlights were appearances by talented Phantom cover artists Jamie Johnson, Alex Trpcevski, and Lauren Marshall. These renowned artists, each of them stars across many walks of fandom but known by Phantom phans for their work with Frew Publications, showcased their work with a range of prints, comics and commissions available . They each have recent, current, and upcoming covers which really added emphasis to the currency of our favourite character. Lauren, Alex and Jamie participated in an entertaining Phantom-themed sketch-off, much to the delight of fans who got to witness their creative process firsthand while peppering them with questions all the while.Saturday was packed with social activities that brought the Phantom community even closer. The day began with a casual breakfast hosted by Chris and Kim Hill, where fans were treated to informal catch-ups and a delightful brekky to accompany a tour of Chris' Minor and Major Treasure Rooms in their newly established Skull Cave. It was a delight to see Chris' thoughtful displays of some incredibly rare and diverse Phantom memorabilia and connect over our shared passions.The evening saw the inaugural Brisbane Phantom Phans' Dinner, coordinated by the extraordinary Christopher Schaffer. This intimate gathering was set in a wonderful atmosphere, with a delicious menu and excellent company. A poignant toast was made to departed Phantom luminaries, including Lee Falk, Jim Shepherd and Richard Fry. Another highlight of the evening was a question and answer session with Shane Foley, Frew cover and story artist, who shared insights into his work and experiences, as well as passing some of his original art around for all to see. We're pleased to report that most of it got returned to him! Attendees were delighted to hear from Shane, making the dinner an even more memorable event.Brisbane Supanova 2024 was more than just a convention for those of us with purple in our veins. Thanks to Christopher's initiative and the support of others, it was a testament to the enduring legacy of the Phantom and the vibrant community that continues to celebrate this beloved character. For those who couldn't attend, be sure to listen to the related podcast, where you can hear interviews with the three artists at Supanova, their sketch-off, and the Q&A with Shane Foley at the dinner. Here's to many more gatherings and the continued adventures of the Ghost Who Walks!Support the show

Some of the reprint stories through out the year will be key classic stories that hold a special place in the history of the comic.On top of the birthday celebrations, we also learn the following:Some of the writers writing stories for 2025 will be Andreas Eriksson, Pidde Andersson, David Bishop and John Rassy who is back after a 7 year hiatus. Some of these creators will be writing two part stories.Some of the artists who will be drawing stories for 2025 are phan phav Janusz Ordon, Kasia Nie for her second story and Percy Ochoa who will be drawing his first Team Fantomen story who has previously drawn several Frew stories.The Phantom will be visiting Sweden and Australia.The theme for the hardcover collection will be stories from the 1970's. Can you guess the theme?2025 will see other covers tailored for events like conventions like they did for Uppsala comic convention in 2024.In addition to answering questions about 2025, we took the time to ask other generic editorial questions. For example: What does Jacob Habinc look for in reprinting Frew and or Bastei stories?What are their views on AI and comicsDifferent art styles including Rafael Ruiz' new style.Would they prefer a Phantom movie and or a TV show?How closely do they follow the latest developments from the newspaper stories with Kit in the Himalayas, the updated office in the Commanders office and if past Phantoms need to follow the costume design designed by Jeff Weigel.If they could change one thing about the Phantom or their job with money not being a hinderance, what would it be?We would love your opinions on what we discuss in this podcast.

AI is becoming a reality for many businesses, and podcasting is no different.There are a plethora of different ways that a company can use AI to alter the way they produce their show — some good and some bad. Some trying to be good, and others… not.I have mixed feelings about AI - we've had mixed results using it at One Stone Creative, and mixed more on the negative than the positive.

The team does not get a chance to nerd out too much by discussing the Phantom in finer details. This podcast fixes that with one podcasters wife commenting that this is perhaps our nerdiest conversation ever!We will discuss two big questions: Is it ethical for the Phantom to have a major treasure room and is the key to the Phantoms future, the digital comic? To join in this discussion we have Seuj Abir from India joining Dan Fraser, Stephen East and Jermayn Parker.We would love your opinions on what we discuss in this podcast. You can email us at chroniclechamber@gmail.com or chat via our social media profiles with your feedback at Facebook, Twitter and or Instagram. For those who have come in late, The Major Treasure Room houses artefacts from around the world throughout history that the Phantom has rescued or has been given to by people he has interacted with. The sole aim is to protect these items from fire, flood and destruction.Throughout the past 60 odd years when it was first introduced, we have had stories created by from various Newspaper, Team Fantomen, Fratelli Spada and RGE creators. There has been nearly 100 different artefacts shown or have had stories written about them.When the room was conceived by Lee Falk, the world was crazy coming off the second world war with various looted treasures being found. However is that still the case and should they be returned?Our second and last Phantom hard question we will discuss in this podcast is the power of the digital comic. We have seen Lightning Strikes announcing their new monthly digital anthology, Comics Kingdom adding more importance with their digital daily comic website and three comic publishers in Frew, Fantomen and Mad Cave Studios releasing digital content.Is it time for the Phantom to be pushed digitally more? Can the phantom comic survive without a digital presence?Make sure you stay with us and do not forget to subscribe and leave a review on our podcast and or our YouTube Channel.Support the Show.

The episode featured an interview with Harriet Frew, a BACP accredited counsellor and eating disorder practitioner. Harriet shared her expertise on the topic of body image and how it relates to eating disorders.  Some of the key points discussed: - The definition of body image and its subjective, multi-faceted nature involving perceptions, feelings, thoughts and behaviours about one's body. - How societal standards and media portrayals play a major role in shaping negative body image from a young age. - Common misconceptions about body image like the idea that reaching a certain weight will improve body image.  - The role of pivotal comments or experiences from childhood that can have a lasting impact on body image. - The difference between body neutrality and body positivity, with neutrality being a more achievable initial goal. - The importance of self-compassion in developing a healthier body image. - Practical tips like journaling, questioning unhelpful thoughts, identifying values beyond appearance, and reducing body checking behaviours. - How body image evolves through life, often worsening in puberty but potentially improving with age and better self-acceptance. Harriet provided thoughtful insights blending her professional expertise with her own lived experience recovering from an eating disorder. The discussion highlighted helpful strategies for cultivating a more neutral, compassionate relationship with one's body.

The hazards of grants, letting vegetable plants go to seed and lessons in water rights with Robert Frew and Juan Carlos Arango  Robert and Juan Carlos practice permaculture and a culture of sharing at Sobremesa Farm, just outside Bloomington, Indiana. In this episode, Robert talks about taking the time to observe the land before jumping into farming and waiting one more year before putting any pressure on selling anything from the land. Juan Carlos points out that neither of them knew much about farming but came into this work through their interest in nature and wildlife and, eventually, the relationships they built at a Bioneers Conference. That permaculture mimics nature made it a natural fit for their land-management philosophy.  Hear about the steps they took to bring municipal water to a property that isn't suited for a well but didn't have a municipal-water meter. (Listeners: Most of us would have walked away from this property. You have to hear about their journey!) Robert also talks about how they collect and keep rainwater on the land, plus two springs that have come to the surface since they purchased the property.  Juan Carlos talks about the concept of “volunteers”--particularly plant volunteers as a means to reduce dependence on off-farm seed resources. He also talks about the various animals they keep and the rolls each fills on the farm, plus some of the more untypical tropical crops they grow in greenhouses and the fields. You won't find soursop, bananas or pittaya growing too many other places in the Midwest!  Hear, too, about their fellowship with Midwest Grains, the milpas they're experimenting with, and their interest in finding and learning from other small-scale grain growers in the region.  From CSA to an on-farm market, Sobremesa Farm attempts to connect their customers with how their food is grown. Robert talks about getting grant money to expand production via mini production contracts for a local food pantry in 2023. He gets real about the growing pains for farms as small as theirs when engaging with grants.  Finally, Juan Carlos talks about their approach to educating their customers and school groups, as well as multicultural farming workshops they host on the farm. Hear, too, about the fertility methods they've used to supercharge the soil organic matter on their farm.   If you're curious about the name Sobremesa Farm, listen to the very end to hear Juan Carlos's explanation of the Latin American concept of sobremesa.  Note from the host:  One thing we did not get to talk about in this episode was Sobremesa Farm's feature during the 2023 Farm Aid benefit concert.

Today I'm talking to Victoria Kleinsman – a Brit living her best life in the Netherlands. Victoria is a food freedom & body love coach, inspirational speaker, podcast host, and writer. She is certified in psychology, spirituality and the science of nutrition and is also inspired greatly in her work, by her own personal experience and walking a tumultuous recovery journey herself. Victoria has overcome anorexia, binge eating disorder, bulimia and an abusive relationship. She struggled for over 20 years with poor body image and disordered eating. But today, Victoria eats whatever she wants, when she wants, in any amount that she wants. She makes food choices from a place of nourishment and pleasure. She is healthy, confident and knows her worth. Her self-love is overflowing from within and she has, as she describes, ‘oodles to give others'. This episode has already been released on Victoria's Body Love Binge Podcast back in February 2024 – as it was a joint episode that we decided to share on both our podcasts. In this episode, we talk about our own healing journeys and how we have navigated through these. We talk about why people don't feel good enough and the roots of this in experiences and trauma. We talk about suppressed feelings and how eating disorder behaviours help us cope and keep us trapped. We share the contrast and complexities on the healing road from our different journeys, and how we both are living happier and more fulfilled lives today. This is a truly inspiring and uplifting conversation to provide hope for what is possible in recovery. I hope that you enjoy it.

Shipping is getting increasingly more complex and more expensive. On balance, that could be a good thing in that it forces the hand of an industry that has been too cheap for too long and the direction of regulatory travel now at least favours the progressives over the laggards. But we don't know the detail. We don't know what fuel availability or costs looks like. We don't know the detail of what market based mechanism or fuel standard will emerge – or even if it will. We don't know when ships ordered today are realistically going to be filling their duel-fuelled tanks with which fuels at what price. And that makes decisions today about newbuildings difficult. Difficult, but not impossible. It is possible to make the least worst decisions and factor in sufficient flexibility to be reasonably sure that the order you place today is not going to be a stranded asset in the next decade. And yet large swathes of the industry seem to be using the energy transition as an excuse for inaction. So this week's edition of the podcast offers all the hesitant fence sitters out there a much needed dose of persuasive expertise advocating for fully risk-assessed progressive change. James Frew is a Business Consultancy Director at Lloyd's Register who has spent a lot of time advising clients on how to make the decision that comes with least regrets when it comes to newbuilding and optimisation. In this week's edition Frew sits down with Lloyd's List editor Richard Meade to discuss: • How newbuilding and retrofit decisions can be optimised with sufficient flexibility to sail through regulatory and fuel uncertainties while avoiding the risk of stranded assets • Why increasing complexities around fuel procurement will not favour the smaller tramp owners • Why e-fuels are an inevitable part of shipping's transition and many ships will have to factor in multiple fuel choices over the coming years

Navigating the Software Acquisition Landscape: Insights from Michael FrewToday, I'm excited to share with you the valuable insights from one of our recent episodes. I had the pleasure of sitting down with Michael Frew, a seasoned professional who has worn many hats: from developer and engineer to exit consultant and software project acquirer. This conversation was not just enlightening but also packed with actionable advice for anyone looking to dive into the world of software acquisitions.From Coding to Consulting: Michael Frew's JourneyMichael's journey is a fascinating one. He began his career deeply entrenched in the technical side of things, coding and engineering his way through complex software problems. But as his career progressed, he found himself drawn to the business side of software, specifically the niche of software project acquisitions. This transition from a hands-on developer to a strategic exit consultant and acquirer is a testament to the dynamic nature of the tech industry and the opportunities it presents for growth and diversification.The Art of Acquiring Software ProjectsAcquiring software projects is an art form that requires a keen eye for potential and a deep understanding of the market. During our conversation, Michael shed light on the types of projects he's on the lookout for. He's not just after any software project; he seeks out those with untapped potential, those that, with the right guidance and investment, could become real game-changers in their respective industries.Valuing and Structuring Deals: A Delicate DanceOne of the most critical aspects of software acquisitions is the valuation and structuring of deals. Michael and I delved into the complexities of this process, discussing the various factors that come into play when determining the value of a software project. It's not just about the numbers; it's about understanding the project's future prospects, the team behind it, and the problem it solves in the market.Michael also shared his approach to structuring deals, emphasizing the importance of creating win-win scenarios. Whether it's through creative financing, equity sharing, or other innovative deal structures, the goal is always to align the interests of both the buyer and the seller to ensure long-term success.Main Lessons and TakeawaysReflecting on our conversation, several key lessons and insights stand out:Transitioning Roles: The tech industry allows for incredible career fluidity. Michael's transition from developer to exit consultant is a prime example of how one can evolve within the tech space.Acquisition Criteria: Not all software projects are created equal.
