One of the biggest debates in the dinosaur world is what was happening right before they went extinct. Were they already declining, or would they have thrived if not for the asteroid? Two recent studies shed some light on this question: one that analyzes a trove of fossils from New Mexico and suggests there was more diversity in the Americas than previously thought, and another that reanalyzes a long-debated juvenile T. rex fossil and finds it's likely a separate, smaller species.Host Ira Flatow is joined by authors on those separate studies, paleontologists Steve Brusatte and Lindsay Zanno.Guests: Dr. Lindsay Zanno is division head of paleontology at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences in Raleigh, NC.Dr. Steve Brusatte is a paleontologist at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE Long before she became a respected voice in the paranormal world, Amanda Quill was a child consumed by questions the living couldn't answer. Growing up between Canada and Scotland, she felt the pull of the unseen—drawn to haunted places, mysterious energies, and the secrets whispered by the dead. In this classic episode of The Grave Talks, we explore the early years of Amanda's extraordinary journey. At a time when few dared to speak openly about ghostly encounters or the spirit realm, Amanda was already searching for the truth. Every move, every strange experience, and every haunted location she crossed paths with only deepened her obsession with what lies beyond. From cold castles in Scotland to quiet Canadian towns filled with restless spirits, Amanda's curiosity became her calling—guiding her toward a life spent communicating with the other side and uncovering truths that most would rather ignore. This is more than a story of hauntings—it's the story of a seeker who refused to look away from the unknown. This is Part Two of our conversation. #TheGraveTalks #trueghoststory #paranormalpodcast #hauntedplaces #ghostencounters #spiritrealm #realhaunting #supernatural #medium #hauntedhistory Love real ghost stories?

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to have on the show for a third time: Child and foster care, religious abuse, child sexual abuse, trafficking, and satanic ritual abuse survivor and whistleblower, campaigner of historical child abuse, Founder of S.A.F.E. - Seek And Find Everyone abused in childhood, independent researcher and reporter, and someone I'm honored to call my friend: Dave SharpA little bit about Dave and what we discussed in his first 2 testimonial episodes he was on previously as a refresher or if you are new here: Orphaned at birth, Dave was surrendered to the care of the Catholic Church - a sanctuary that promised safety but delivered a nightmare of unimaginable horror. For sixteen harrowing years, from infancy to adolescence, Dave was not raised but trafficked across Scotland, shuttled between shadowy houses in Glasgow's underbelly, where priests - men cloaked in sanctity - presided over rituals of pure evil.Imagine a child, no older than six, locked inside a coffin in a moonlit garden. The lid slams shut. Stones rain down, each thud a mock burial, the air thick with terror as grown men laugh. This was no isolated incident. Dave and other children were taken to satanic sex parties - drugged, and violated by multiple predators, his screams drowned in a sea of depravity. These were not random acts of cruelty but organized atrocities, embedded in a network that preyed on the most vulnerable: children like Dave, with no family, no voice, no escape.His abusers were not strangers lurking in alleys. They were the very guardians entrusted with his care - priests, nuns, and officials hiding behind collars and titles. They targeted him because he had no one to run to. The system designed to protect him became his prison, its architects his tormentors. Dave's story rips the veil off a chilling truth: the safest place for a pedophile is the one with unlimited access to children.At sixteen, Dave broke free, but the scars never faded. Flashbacks still seize him - vivid, violent memories of coffins, altars, and blood. Other survivors find him, drawn to his courage, whispering testimonies that mirror his own. Their stories are not coincidences. They are proof of a systemic rot festering in plain sight, shielded by respectability and titles.But Dave is no victim. He is a disciple of defiance, anchored by an unshakable faith in Jesus Christ. In his darkest hour, he declared: “I am so grateful that God has chosen me to go out and show the evil that exists in Scotland and to tell the world to put His children first.”Because of Dave, the darkness is losing its grip. Because of Dave, the voiceless are finding their roar. Because of Dave, the next generations will inherit a Scotland - and a world - where the innocent are shielded by warriors who once walked through fire and chose, against all odds, to rise. The children of tomorrow will run free, laugh loud, and sleep in peace - because one orphan refused to stay silent, and instead became an unbreakable force.CONNECT WITH DAVE: X: https://x.com/davesharp59CONNECT WITH EMMA: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@imaginationpodcastofficialRumble: https://rumble.com/c/TheImaginationPodcastEMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.com OR standbysurvivors@protonmail.comMy Substack: https://emmakatherine.substack.com/BUY ME A COFFEE: hSupport the show

An unsuspecting family hosts Earth's first Martian visitor… only to discover he's been locked in their upstairs bathroom for hours. Curiosity turns into panic as they wonder what—exactly—he's doing in there. What's He Doing in There? By Fritz Leiber.

This one comes from Zippoflask, who writes:“A bright light amid the dark miasma of today's narrated fiction. After searching for a good wholesome and imaginative starring narration, it is wonderful to come upon the beacon that is Scott Miller's voice and story contributions. I hope he will continue to do this for a long, long time. And I wish both he and his family the best of health!”Thank you, Zippoflask—your review made our day.And now a question for all of you: what would happen if the tens of thousands of listeners who enjoy the show every week took a moment to leave a review on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen? We're pretty sure it would launch Lost Sci-Fi straight to the moon… maybe even past the stars.During his lifetime, Fritz Leiber produced an astonishing range of unforgettable science fiction—brilliant, bold, and always a step ahead of his peers. You don't earn six Hugo Awards, three Nebulas, two World Fantasy Awards, two British Fantasy Awards, a shelf of additional honors, and the prestigious SFWA Grand Master title unless you consistently deliver greatness.But Leiber also had a playful side, and some of his most enjoyable work comes from those lighter, offbeat tales. Imagine cracking open the December 1957 issue of Galaxy Science Fiction, flipping to page 69, and suddenly finding yourself in the middle of a very unusual family dilemma. What would you do if you were in their shoes?What's He Doing in There?

  Hooked rugs are humble things made of recycled cloth and worn out textiles, originally born of need and lack: and yet they have come to mean much more to the communities that produced and enjoyed them. In America they have become an emblem of homespun pioneer thrift and self-reliance and an important element in the definition of a certain kind of national values.   Handmade hooked rugs are the stuff of everyday life, but in Canada they became a vital form of income for impoverished seafaring families in Labrador and Newfoundland. And in northern England and southern Scotland they brightened up the hearth of many rural and urban working-class homes.   But in the far north of the British Isles a very different tradition developed where sewn pile rugs came to play a role as vital protection for sleeping bodies against night time trolls and witches.   Join us as we explore the many forms of hooky, proggy, proddy, clooty, clippy, stobby, and bodgy rugs that have spread around the world.   For more information about this episode and pictures of the people and places mentioned in this episode please go to https://hapticandhue.com/tales-of-textiles-series-7/.   And if you would like to find out about Friends of Haptic & Hue with an extra podcast every month hosted by Jo Andrews and Bill Taylor – here's the link: https://hapticandhue.com/join/

In this episode, I talk with Olympian swimmer Hannah Miley about her transition into motherhood and what it's been like navigating a return to swimming postpartum. We dive into the culture of swimming in Scotland, why pelvic floor health matters for swimmers and female athletes in general, and the identity shifts that happen when you step away from sport after competing at the highest level.   Hannah opens up about her own postpartum recovery experience, the gaps she's seen in resources for female athletes, and her vision for building more support and community for moms in sport. This is an honest, powerful conversation about redefining athleticism, rebuilding postpartum, and staying connected to the parts of ourselves that still feel like athletes.     Connect with Hannah: IG: @smiley8889 FB: @hannahlouisemiley           Need workouts for your pregnancy or postpartum?

On this day in Tudor history, 7th November 1565, Sir Edward Warner, soldier, courtier, Member of Parliament, and twice Lieutenant of the Tower of London, died at his Norfolk home. He was a man who lived at the heart of Tudor politics, serving four monarchs, guarding rebels and queens alike, and somehow surviving the shifting loyalties of an age where one wrong step could mean the scaffold. Warner fought in Scotland, helped defend Norwich during Kett's Rebellion, and rose high under Edward VI, only to fall when he sided with Lady Jane Grey and the Duke of Northumberland. Under Mary I, he found himself imprisoned in the very Tower he had once commanded. When Elizabeth I came to the throne, his fortunes reversed again, until another scandal erupted involving Lady Katherine Grey, sister of the “Nine Days' Queen", who somehow became pregnant while in his custody. Sir Edward Warner's story is one of duty, compassion, and danger, a Tudor survivor who lived through rebellion, imprisonment, and redemption. Join me, Claire Ridgway, as we uncover the life of this remarkable - and often forgotten - man of the Tudor age. #TudorHistory #OnThisDay #TowerOfLondon #KatherineGrey #ElizabethI #HenryVIII #AnneBoleynFiles

Another day in the mid-50's as we get ready for colder temps this weekend. It's Hypothetical Thursday, so we once again asked each other hypothetical questions. Jean's question for Brian was: "Who was the most influential person in your life?". Brian's question for Jean was: "Would you rather fly First-Class every time you fly & stay in a 1-star hotel...or stay in a 5-star hotel whenever you go somewhere & have the middle seat in economy?" Office Cora joined us just after 8am to let us know what she's up to this weekend in the 715. Her hypothetical question for us was: "If you could only have one condiment for the rest of your life, which one would you choose?" We also let you know what's on TV today/tonight, talked about season 2 of KPop Demon Hunters, and Miss Piggy's stand-alone movie. In sports, Week 10 in the NFL kicks off tonight with Thursday Night Football, the Bucks are off until Friday, Giannis got a black eye and it's origins are….interesting, and a look at the Badger men's basketball schedule and the Badger football schedule. Great story about a heroic teen in Florida who recently helped save a bunch of people who were stuck in their vehicles during a flash flood. And an absolutely heart-warming story about a 93 year-old man who used his smelly socks to help track down & find his lost dog. In case you missed it, Kraft recently released a new flavor of it's Mac-n-Cheese, and people have strong reactions to it. Elsewhere in sports, Alexander Ovechkin scored his 900th career goal, Kyler Murray is going on the IL, and CJ Strout is going to sit this weekend for the Texans. October just recently wrapped up, and many of you probably went to a wedding. October is the most popular month for nuptials, and we looked a list of ways you might have been rude at a wedding. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a guy who REALLY needed to use a bathroom stall at a grocery store, a hospital in Maine is apologizing for sending letters to a bunch of LIVING patients…telling them that they are actually DEAD, a council meeting in Scotland that had to edit the recording of a recent meeting after someone went to the bathroom without turning off their camera, the benefits of having sex in the morning, and a drunk substitute teacher in WI.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

fWotD Episode 3107: Sieges of Berwick (1355 and 1356) Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Thursday, 6 November 2025, is Sieges of Berwick (1355 and 1356).The sieges of Berwick were the Scottish capture of the town of Berwick-upon-Tweed on 6 November 1355 and their subsequent unsuccessful siege of Berwick Castle, and the English siege and recapture of the town in January 1356. In 1355 the Second War of Scottish Independence had been under way for over 22 years, after a period of quiescence the Scots, encouraged by the French who were fighting the English in the Hundred Years' War, assembled an army on the border. In September a truce was agreed and much of the English army left the border area to join King Edward III's campaign in France.In October the Scots broke the truce, invading Northumbria and devastating much of it. On 6 November a Scottish force led by Thomas, Earl of Angus, and Patrick, Earl of March, captured the town of Berwick in a pre-dawn escalade. They failed to capture the castle, which they besieged. Edward returned from France and gathered a large army at Newcastle. Most of the Scots withdrew, leaving a 130-man garrison in Berwick town. When the English army arrived the Scots negotiated a safe passage and withdrew. Edward went on to devastate a large part of southern and central Scotland. He was only prevented from worse depredations because bad weather prevented his seaborne supplies from arriving.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:30 UTC on Thursday, 6 November 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Sieges of Berwick (1355 and 1356) on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Brian.

Host Todd Ritter flies solo in this special episode, taking listeners on a journey through the latest bourbon news and a deep dive into whiskey history. With Jim out of town, Todd kicks off the first half by tackling a massive slate of industry updates before sampling a unique experimental whiskey. He covers the Lost Lantern "Scotch Lover's" Fall 2025 collection, the nationwide expansion of Wyoming Whiskey's "Buffalo Bill Cody," Jim Beam's new Harden's Creek trio (Mushroom, Beaver, and Owl), and Jack Daniel's Distillery Series #15, a "Sweet Mash" Tennessee Whiskey. Todd also details new releases from Chicken Cock and Town Branch, Buffalo Trace's 9 millionth barrel milestone, and the bombshell news that Kirin is exploring the sale of the Four Roses distillery. The segment features a deep dive into the 2025 Buffalo Trace Antique Collection (BTAC), highlighting the new 15-year-old Colonel E.H. Taylor Bottled in Bond and a formidable 142.8-proof George T. Stagg. The first tasting of the day is the Remus Master Distiller Experimental Series Number One from MGP. This 9-year-old, 107-proof bourbon was aged in lightly charred and heavily toasted Seguin Moreau barrels made from staves seasoned outdoors for 24 months. Todd finds a big vanilla nose with a "wine funkiness," fig, and dark baking spices. The palate proves "soft and velvety" with notes of toasted marshmallow, chocolate, a hint of red wine, and a sweet, spicy finish of candied pecan and allspice. For the second half, Todd unearths a true gem for history nerds: a complete reading of a 1909 essay by none other than Colonel E.H. Taylor Jr., titled "The Rule of the Regions." Discovered in the University of Kentucky archives, the essay provides a fascinating look into the mind of the bourbon pioneer. Taylor boldly declares Kentucky bourbon superior to Scotch and Irish whiskeys, attributing this to the "Rule of the Regions"—specifically, the paramount importance of Kentucky's unique limestone water. He discusses the industry's massive (for 1909) $180 million value, the evolution from primitive wooden stills to scientific copper distillation, and the superiority of Kentucky's dry, ascending-proof aging methods. Most notably, he champions the Bottled-in-Bond Act as the ultimate guarantee of quality and authenticity, a protection he notes that Scotland and Ireland unfortunately lack. To accompany this historic reading, Todd tastes the Oaklore Story Series Number 2, an Oloroso Sherry Cask Finish 4 Grain Bourbon. Hailing from Matthews, North Carolina, this 95-proof blend of 5-to-6-year-old bourbons (70% corn, 10% rye, 10% wheat, 10% malted barley) is finished for 12-18 months in sherry casks. The whiskey shows a ruby tinge and offers a nose of raisin, wine, caramel, and vanilla. The soft palate features notes of black cherry, cocoa, sherry-driven nuttiness, and sweet dark fruits. Be sure to check out our private Facebook group, "The Bourbon Roadies" for a great group of bourbon loving people. You will be welcomed with open arms!

by UFO History Buff & Author, Charles LearWhen a single witness reports an episode of high strangeness involving a UFO encounter, having physical evidence in the form of traces left on the ground, or on the witness, really helps when arguing for the witness's credibility. This was the case in the 1979 report by a forestry worker in Scotland who said he not only saw a mysterious domed object sitting on the ground, but that he was assaulted by two spherical objects with spike-like protrusions that rolled towards him. The case got the attention Flying Saucer Review Editor Charles Bowen, who made arrangements to have it investigated by members of the UFO Investigators Network, an organization funded by FSR and formed in 1977 with the help of Jenny Randles who had proposed the idea. The resulting three-part report by UFOIN investigators Martin Keatman and Andrew Collins appears in the November-December 1979, Spring 1980, and September 1980 issues. The case was also investigated by employees of the Livingston Development Corporation and local police from two stations. Read more →

by UFO History Buff & Author, Charles LearIn last week's blog, we looked at a case involving a 1979 report by a forestry worker in Scotland who said he not only saw a mysterious domed object sitting on the ground, but that he was assaulted by two spherical objects with spike-like protrusions that rolled towards him rapidly, rolled over onto his sides, and seemed to be pulling on his pants. At this point he went unconscious. According to him, when he came to, he heard a “whooshing” noise and then saw that the object was gone. He was extremely thirsty, had a headache, pain in his chin and legs, and couldn't walk or speak. He crawled back to his pickup truck, which was 300 meters away, found himself incapable of driving it, but was then able to make his way home on foot. Upon returning “with others” the next day, there were physical traces seen that gave support to his claims. This week, we'll look at the aftermath and the physical evidence.The case got the attention of Flying Saucer Review Editor Charles Bowen, who made arrangements to have it investigated by members of the UFO Investigators Network, an organization funded by FSR and formed in 1977 with the help of Jenny Randles who had proposed the idea.

What if our well-intentioned efforts to promote mental health inadvertently perpetuate systems that cause mental unwellness? What if the resilience we encourage only equips individuals to endure rather than challenge structures detrimental to their well-being? Why do mental health experiences vary so drastically across cultures, with Western societies seemingly posing the greatest challenges for certain conditions? Against the backdrop of escalating ecological dramas that devastate our world and its climate, do we ever wonder what ecological suffering might imply for our mental health? With this poignant, impassioned book Seeking Sanctuary, Finding Shalom, John Swinton invites us to begin exploring avenues toward addressing these daunting and interrelated issues.
