This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! PART TWOWe explore the extraordinary childhood of Amanda Quill, whose early fascination with ghosts and the unseen world shaped the course of her life. Growing up between Canada and Scotland, Amanda found herself surrounded by history, folklore, and unanswered questions about what exists beyond our physical reality.At a time when paranormal experiences were rarely discussed openly, Amanda sought out every piece of information she could find—books, stories, research, and firsthand accounts—driven by an unshakable need to understand what others preferred to dismiss. Each move across borders deepened her curiosity, exposing her to new perspectives, cultural beliefs, and haunting traditions that reinforced the feeling that something more was waiting to be understood.Amanda reflects on how those early years influenced her path toward exploring the spirit world and uncovering truths many are reluctant to confront. This episode isn't just about ghosts—it's about curiosity, persistence, and what happens when questions about life after death refuse to fade with age.#TheGraveTalks #ParanormalJourney #LifeLongCuriosity #GhostResearch #ParanormalPodcast #AfterlifeQuestions #HauntedHistory #SpiritualExploration #TrueParanormal #BeyondTheVeilLove real ghost stories?

County Durham has a deep mining and farming heritage and is located in the northeast part of England near Scotland. This is the only English county prefixed with the word "County." The history spans so many eras that are reflected in the architecture, from Roman conquest to the Anglo-Saxons to the powerful medieval palatinate ruled by Prince Bishops. And all along the way, spiritual residue was left behind. Join us for the history and hauntings of County Durham.

Does he bend or clink?The Xbox Game Pass "Surprise Me" button has picked another indie title for this episode. Developed and published by Scotland-based Stormcloud Games, this platformer has players building the literal platforms they need to proceed. The protagonist is a retro robot named UM-13 that's definitely not an orange reskin of a similar robot from another animated IP. Suffice to say, Tom and Chris had not heard of this game before it was chosen, and we're guessing you haven't either. At this point, our dynamic duo have each spent an hour solving puzzles and platforming their way through levels styled after graphic novels and they are ready to give you their (comic)book report. Will they decide it is a hidden gem or a pile of scrap that's not even worth the salvage? Hit play to find out!What do you think?

Tourist Sauce returns next week with the tenth installment of our travel series as we go back to Scotland and explore the Islands and Highlands at courses like Dunaverty, Macrihanish, Brora, Shiskine, Royal Dornoch and more.  One of our inspirations for this season is a book by our friend Jim Hartsell - A Round of Scottish Courses. Tragically, Jim's son Jake passed away last week and Jim has set up a GoFundMe in Jake's memory to support junior golf at Shiskine and Dunaverty - two courses that are special to the Hartsell family that will be featured in the upcoming season.

Episode 500! In Conversation with Val McDermid and Jo Sharp: This Door of the SeasA huge milestone — this is episode 500 of Quick Book Reviews! Thank you to everyone who's been listening since the very start (sadly the first few episodes were lost in a platform move years ago, but the memories remain).To celebrate, I'm joined by Val McDermid and Jo Sharp to talk about This Door of the Seas, their first book written together, and the latest in Polygon's Darkland Tales series. It tells the true and largely forgotten story of the Darien Scheme — Scotland's disastrous 17th-century attempt to found a trading colony in Panama, an event so significant it helped push the country into union with England, yet one neither of them were taught in school. We talk about how the idea was born on a very long drive down the A9, why they chose to tell the story entirely through letters (including real historical figure Dr James Wallace), and the moment Val discovered — almost as an aside — that there was a murder in the story she hadn't been told about. Jo also describes the genuinely moving experience of holding one of the original 1698 letters in the National Library of Scotland, and we talk about what it's actually like to co-write a book with your spouse.Plus: the Darien colonists' extraordinary questions from the era's leading scientists (yes, including one about an animal that breathes through its navel), what Val and Jo are both reading right now, and their verdict on the classic Quick Book Reviews question — the biscuit that powered the words.Featured book:This Door of the Seas, Val McDermid and Jo SharpThis episode is available as video on Apple Podcasts — watch it here.Get in touch - links:Quick Book Reviews Facebook Group | Instagram | quickbookreviews@outlook.comQuick Book Reviews: author interviews and book reviews with no spoilers.

Send us Fan MailWelcome to Decades Distilled: Deeper Dives, a new bonus series where we revisit some of the decades we've explored and take a closer look at the stories, trends and ideas we didn't have time to fully unpack the first time around.For our first Deeper Dive, Kurt is joined by historian, writer and broadcaster Colin Hampden White to revisit the whisky world of the 1990s.It was a fascinating turning point for whisky. Blended Scotch still ruled the shelves, but single malts were finding a wider audience, independent bottlers were introducing drinkers to entirely new flavors, and years of oversupply meant there was some remarkable whisky waiting to be discovered.Drawing on Colin's own experiences drinking across Germany, Kenya and Scotland, he and Kurt explore how whisky culture evolved throughout the decade, from discovering single malts in Edinburgh and Glasgow bars to the rise of independent and cask-strength bottlings. They also look at why the blends of the era tasted so different, how the whisky industry has changed since, and what today's market might be able to learn from the 1990s.Pour yourself a dram and join us for our first Decades Distilled: Deeper Dive.

Five years ago Louie Chapman first came on What a Lad with a very different story to where he is now. Back then, Louie was still trying to establish himself in professional rugby in his first season with the Tasman Mako.Since then, he's experienced the highs and lows of chasing a career in the game, become a key player for Canterbury, fought his way into the Crusaders, and is now preparing for the next chapter of his career with Edinburgh in Scotland.What I love about Louie's story is hearing just how much perseverance has gone into getting to this point. Louie has always been a classy player, but nothing has come easy for him. He speaks openly about the periods where opportunities weren't coming, the pressure of trying to prove himself whenever he did get a chance, and how doing anything you can to help the team can ultimately give you a better chance of getting your own crack.We also get into why he has decided to leave New Zealand at a point where he is playing some of the best rugby of his career, what excites him about joining Edinburgh, and what the move could potentially lead to in the future.Some parts that stood out for me in this episode were…Nearly going 1,000 days between Super Rugby appearancesBeing told there might not even be a fourth halfback spot for him at the Crusaders, and what that meant for himWhy leaving Tasman for Canterbury changed his careerThe emotional moment he found out he had earned a full Crusaders contractHis parents driving six hours just to watch him sit on the benchThe Dave Havili moment that taught him an awesome lesson about being a good teammateHis decision to join Edinburgh and move to ScotlandHis Scottish family connection and ambitions for what the move could lead toHis advice for young halfbacks trying to make itPlenty of quality stories from along the journeyAs you'll hear, Louie is one of the genuine good buggers of New Zealand rugby. He has a massive impact on his teams both on and off the field, he speaks so well, and it was awesome to catch up again five years on. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

As the Premier League's Man City case dominates headlines worldwide, Alan and James ask why the Scottish football media has stayed almost completely silent, and what the parallels with Rangers' 2012 liquidation, the EBT scandal and the obstruction of investigators reveal about football governance, power and accountability. The Huddle Breakdown then turns to Celtic. Alan has rewatched the games from his time away and comes back with a stark verdict on Martin O'Neill's management team drifting from Celtic's possession-based playing model. James brings StatsBomb pace-to-goal and xG-conceded data showing Celtic losing control. They also discuss Cameron Carter-Vickers' honest comments about confusion in the squad, revisit Stephen Welsh's Celtic legacy as he starts for Scotland and Swansea, and take hope from Scotland's cohesive display against Slovenia in the Nations League.

Key Segments & Discussion Breakdown1. Dead End Tours: When the Guide Isn't the Only One Talking[3]Paul presents four firsthand stories from people who experienced real paranormal encounters while taking organized ghost tours[6][14]:The Yellow Fever Cemetery (Savannah, Georgia):The Story: Sarah, a history teacher, attended a night ghost tour with a colleague in Savannah[6][15]. Leaning against a wrought-iron gate near an old cemetery, she felt a heavy, cold hand rest on her shoulder, accompanied by a cold body leaning full weight against her[15]. A voice whispered in her ear: "Why are you standing on my porch, honey?" before physically bumping her[18].The Twist: Five minutes later, the tour guide noted that the exact spot where Sarah stood was the former entrance of a residential house that burned down in 1820[19].The Blair Street Vaults (Edinburgh, Scotland):The Story: Mark, an IT consultant from London, was touring the claustrophobic subterranean vaults of Edinburgh[20]. After stopping to tie his shoe, he looked up to find his tour group gone[20][21]. At a T-junction in the hall, he saw a man in a long wool coat and flat cap who motioned him into a side doorway[22][23].The Twist: The room was completely empty, smelling of dust and decay, and the man vanished[23]. In the corridor stood an old portrait matching the man's appearance[23]. Seconds later, the tour group arrived from behind him, baffled as to how Mark got ahead of them past a locked red velvet rope[24][25].The Haunted Mansion Museum (French Quarter, New Orleans):The Story: Francine visited a converted 1890s mansion museum on a four-person tour[26][27]. Looking into a large vanity mirror, she saw the reflection of a woman in period dress standing in the room behind her[27][28]. When she turned around, no one was there, but looking back into the mirror, the woman was face-to-face with her inside the glass[28].The Manifestation: Retreating to her car, Francine's phone signal died, and a haunting music box melody filled the cabin[29][30]. A white mist formed in the passenger seat into the same ghostly woman, who touched Francine's wrist and wept: *"You have a wonderful mother... She's not cross to you and she's not cruel like my mother... She's the one who put me in my grave. You must pity me."*[30]2. The Chronos Effect & Time Leaks[4][5]The hosts pivot to temporal anomalies where individuals temporarily slip into the past or future[4]:The Moberly–Jourdain Incident (Palace of Versailles, 1901):Oxford professors Charlotte Anne Moberly and Eleanor Jourdain got lost searching for the Petit Trianon[7]. The atmosphere suddenly grew cold and heavy, colors muted like a painting, and they encountered 18th-century figures—including Marie Antoinette—alongside the stagnant stench of historical 1789 decay[35].The Bold Street Slip (Liverpool, 1996):A man named David was searching for a shop when modern pavement turned to cobblestone and modern cars disappeared[8]. He encountered Victorian shops and pedestrians, one of whom recoiled in pure terror at the sight of David and his modern Saab, perceiving him as a ghost[8].Sir Victor Goddard's Flight (Drem Airfield, Scotland, 1935):RAF pilot Sir Victor Goddard flew over an abandoned, dilapidated airfield[9][34]. Suddenly, he saw the airfield fully restored, complete with mechanics in yellow suits and unfamiliar monoplanes[9][34]. Four years later in 1939, the military rebuilt the airfield exactly as he had seen it—indicating a slip into the future[34][40].Theoretical Discussion:Paul and Michelle discuss time paradoxes, parallel timelines, the butterfly effect, and the concept that all existence occurs within one continuous moment of eternal consciousness[10].3. Personal Story: Confusing a Ghost[12]Michelle shares a story from junior high where she and her friends held a home-made séance[12][13].When a spirit began knocking on walls in response to questions, Michelle overwhelmed the entity with contradictory and overly complex conditional commands ("If you're a spirit but not really here, knock three times, then two...")[13].The frustrated ghost banged violently on the wall and vanished forever[13].Notable Quotes"You pay 20 bucks, you follow a person in time-period appropriate clothing through a dark alley, and you hope to see something that makes your skin crawl." — Paul[3]"You aren't editing the book. You're just reading a different page." — Michelle[10]"There is really truly only one moment of consciousness that has ever existed, and it's this moment right now." — Michelle[42] Episode Credits:Written, edited and produced by Paul & MichelleArtwork created by MIchelle & PaulMusic written and produced by I.C.D.LINKS: Listen to us here: SpookyCoop , find us @ spookycoop.com and follow us on: FaceBook | BlueSky | X (formerly Twitter) | Threads | Instagram | TikTok

(Also the trees are being gross and they can knock that off RIGHT NOW.)After that we get into season 3 episodes 6 and 7 of Better Call Saul, where Jimmy has a really bad day and then it gets worse. Like, exhausting levels of worse. But of course that doesn't stop him from wheeling and dealing and plotting revenge because Slippin Jimmy is an ANGRY dude.Meanwhile Mike bonds with a really nice woman from the grief therapy group and oh no she's gonna get fridged isn't she?And of course we've got the usual tangents into bad handwriting, breathing underwater, spilled milk, gory remakes, Transformers T-shirts, and Elizabeth getting certain character names wrong EVERY TIME.This episode's outro is a clip from Master Key by 1000 Handz.Correction: Rhea Seehorn has won one Emmy out of four career nominations.Clarification: Disney+ announced to their European subscribers that ads will be allowed before and after playback on all tiers.

Everyone, welcome back our Forest Whitaker expert, Shane Stroud, for another long-promised episode of the podcast that we all know and love

South Africa's Sinesipho Dambile won the first big gold of his career in 2026, taking the Commonwealth Games 200 metres title in Glasgow. It was special for so many reasons. When he was growing up, he remembered vividly Akanni Simbine coming to his school to speak to them about winning the 2018 Commonwealth 100 metres gold. Sinesipho made the most of the opportunity to ask South Africa's brand-new Commonwealth sprint champion plenty of questions - and later Simbine wouldn't just be a mentor, he'd be a team-mate as well.We relive the semi-final and the final in Glasgow. Sinesipho was the only athlete at the Games to break 20 seconds, doing so in both of his races. But, having laid down a marker winning his semi-final so convincingly, what was it like lining up for the final as the favourite? He knew that all of South Africa would be watching and willing him to bring home the gold. When he crossed the line, the first thing he saw was South African fans in the stands and the celebrations began. But his greatest supporter has always been his Mum, so what did she say when he called her later that night?Sinesipho tells us all about where he grew up and how his village had produced stars before, in rugby union and in track and field. He discusses how it feels to be a part of that legacy and to add to it. He also explains why it's so important to him to have followed in the footsteps of an all-time great like Namibia's Frankie Fredericks, who was the last African man to win the Commonwealth 200 metres gold.The men's 200 metres at the London 2012 Olympics is a special race as far as Sinesipho is concerned. It's his favourite performance by Usain Bolt. The Jamaican started out as a 200 metres specialist before adding the 100 to his repertoire and then dominating both sprints, setting the world records which have stood since 2009. That's the pathway Sinesipho wants to tread as well - so what advice did Bolt share with him when they met in Tokyo during the 2025 World Championships?We explore the mental side of sprinting and Sinesipho explains how hard he's worked to maintain and improve his focus. That's impacted everything from how he trains to how he behaves when he's out on the Diamond League circuit. How does he make sure he feels at home in those cities and what does he like to do when the season's over and he really can go home to his family and friends?This is an era of unprecedented success for South African sprinting. Sinesipho is among those leading the way and describes the environment that's enabled him and his international team-mates to rise to the top.Sinesipho believes that fate chooses you and, when it does, accepting the pressure that comes with that is a privilege. He explains why the World and Olympic 200 metres gold medals are the next step, and the planning that's already gone into topping the podium in Beijing and Los Angeles.Photo: Gold medalist Sinesipho Dambile of Team South Africa poses for a photo during the medal ceremony for Men's 200 Metres Final during the Athletics on day eight of the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games at Scotstoun Stadium on July 31, 2026 in Glasgow, Scotland.

Jack Hendry's early red card pretty much ruined any chance of excitement or learning about Sebastian Pocognoli's style as Switzerland swatted us aside 3-0. McBurnie played well & Binks' debut was fine. Other than that, nothing to feel good or positive about after the encouragement in Slovenia. The boys chat about Gunn, McGinn, Hendry, options and more.

Is Andy Burnham's vision for the UK realistic, or is he setting Labour up for a major fall ahead of the upcoming budget? On this episode of Holyrood Sources, Calum Macdonald, Geoff Aberdein, and Andy Maciver review Prime Minister Andy Burnham's first speech to the Labour Party Conference. From hints on rejoining the EU and scrapping the pension triple lock to fund a National Care Service, to what this all means for Scotland and John Swinney, we break down the style, substance, and political tactics. Later, Glasgow South West Labour MP Dr. Zubir Ahmed joins us straight from conference to share his take on Burnham's speech. Plus, Scotland 2050 founder Barry Cunning shares his thoughts on Grangemouth and the long-term future of Scottish politics.

British architect and interior designer Ben Pentreath returns to the podcast to discuss his new book, A Year at the Parsonage, co-authored with his husband, Charlie McCormick. The book functions as a deeply personal visual diary of the 15 years the couple spent living in an 1820 Regency house in Dorset, England. Rather than staging polished lifestyle scenes, Ben and Charlie photographed the book themselves, capturing authentic daily moments, the evolving interiors, and the passage of seasons in Charlie's beloved garden. Ben initially rented the Dorset parsonage in a rundown state, complete with black mold—a condition he prefers, as it allows for updates without feeling guilty about tearing out a previous landlord's expensive renovations. Nestled in an unspoiled estate village owned by the Williams family for nearly 300 years, the home began with neutral pale gray and white walls due to a lack of time and budget. Over the years, the home's palette shifted drastically: The dining room was painted "Victoria Plum," a 1960s purple inspired by David Hicks that looked magical by candlelight but made guests look ill during the day. It was later painted bright sky blue and eventually wallpapered for a Morris & Co. photoshoot. The kitchen transitioned from white to Farrow & Ball's burnt orange "Wet Sand," then to a high-gloss bright yellow that felt like living inside an egg yolk, before finally returning to white. While Ben stresses that architectural and structural decisions should be thoroughly planned, he believes interior decoration is easily overthought. Embrace Change: Repainting a room is an inexpensive and fast way to completely shift a home's energy. Physical Inspiration: To avoid losing digital inspiration, Ben prints out his phone screenshots, cuts off the social media logos, writes notes on the back, and pins them to his office wall to discover his personal style over time. The Soul of a Room: A room's true character comes from its people, pets, and the practical comfort of daily life, not from perfectly color-matched piping. When the Williams family decided to sell the Dorset estate, Ben and Charlie embraced the change and moved to Scotland. They purchased a mid-18th-century home called Westness on Rousay, an Orkney island with only 200 residents. The unspoiled property features a ten-acre garden where Charlie is currently clearing an overgrown Victorian walled space to cultivate vegetables.

Alice is a long-distance bike tourer, drone pilot, and freelance creative who designs her adventures around self-imposed rules and unconventional challenges. Based in a van and working with Komoot, she uses cycling as both a mode of transport and a way to deeply explore the landscapes of Britain. Her journeys are anything but ordinary. In 2021, Alice cycled through every town and village in Sussex, covering over 1,000 miles without leaving the county. The following year, she completed a full cycle of the British coastline.  In 2023, she attempted an even more ambitious challenge—travelling from Shoreham to Oldshoremore in as straight a line across Britain as possible. In this episode, Alice shares how she first discovered bike touring, what inspired her to take on increasingly creative endurance challenges, and why she is drawn to journeys that combine geography, problem-solving, and adventure. She talks about life on the road in a van, the logistics behind her rides, and the realities of planning multi-week cycling expeditions using everything from paper maps to GPS apps. We explore the highs and lows of long-distance cycling, from wild camping and weather challenges to moments of complete freedom on remote coastal routes. Alice also reflects on what she has learned from designing her own rules for adventure, and why letting go of perfection has opened the door to more meaningful experiences. Listen to this episode to hear how cycling can become a creative practice, why the UK is full of endless adventure opportunities, and how setting your own rules might just be the best way to explore the world. ***  New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast drop every Tuesday at 7 AM (UK time)! Make sure to subscribe so you never miss the inspiring journeys and incredible stories of tough women pushing boundaries.  Do you want to support the Tough Girl Mission to increase the amount of female role models in the media in the world of adventure and physical challenges? Support via Patreon!

It might sound like a cliché, but Marc Silpa has known he wanted to be a veterinarian since he was 12 years old. He spent his middle school years volunteering at local small-animal and wildlife clinics, and by high school, he was routinely waking up before dawn to patrol two-mile stretches of coastline to locate and protect nesting sea turtles. Marc graduated from the New College of Florida in 2008, where he developed a deep focus on marine mammal medicine, followed by a post-baccalaureate certificate in Zoo and Aquarium Science from Western Illinois University in 2009. He then earned his veterinary degree from the Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies at the University of Edinburgh in 2014. While in Scotland, Marc pulled double duty—working overnight ER shifts while spending his days responding to marine mammal strandings with British Divers Marine Life Rescue. After graduation, he completed a year-long internship at the Miami Seaquarium's Manatee and Sea Turtle Hospital. A subsequent move to the desert—an environment famously lacking in marine life—prompted a natural evolution in his career: shifting his focus to pet exotics. Since 2022, Marc has practiced at the Exotic Animal Veterinary Center in Pasadena, California. In 2024, he achieved board certification through the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners (ABVP) in Exotic Companion Mammal Practice, making him one of only two specialists with this distinction in the entire state of California.Legal Disclaimer: This podcast is intended for educational purposes only and does not constitute advice or professional services by either the host nor any of the guests. Exotic Animal Veterinary Center Pasadena, CaliforniaThank you for listening to the Enlightened Pet Behavior Podcast.

We can learn about horticulture from slides in a classroom, sure. But everything changes when the classroom is perhaps Rome, or the lab is a botanic garden in Scotland, and the homework might be noticing what's growing on the hills and valleys outside the bus window. In this episode, our co-host, Curt Rom, talks with Co-Host Samson Humphrey about the value of studying abroad and how it can make the world feel bigger and smaller at the same time - something that Curt has learned not only from personal experience starting in his undergrad years and onward, but also by leading annual study abroad programs at his university. Hear how Curt builds his study abroad trips from the ground up: setting learning objectives, choosing sites, holding regular pre-departure prep sessions, pacing days so students can absorb what they see, and balancing “great gardens” with real production horticulture. In addition, Curt talks about some of the human sides of study abroad: the day-three slump, the culture shock that turns into self-awareness, and more. In the end, you will hear a practical case for why studying abroad grows better observers, better collaborators, and more confident young professionals.If you've ever wanted to study abroad, build international connections, or just understand how horticulture looks beyond your home region, this conversation is your roadmap. Send us Fan MailLearn more about the American Society for Horticultural Science (ASHS) at  https://ashs.org/.HortTechnology, HortScience and the Journal of the American Society for Horticultural Science are all open-access and peer-reviewed journals, published by the American Society of Horticultural Science (ASHS).

Welcome to the Fore Golfers Network/Michigan Golf Live Podcast Ep 543 - Special Guest Paul Albanese On Golf Course Architecture For those golfers fascinated by the process of designing and constructing a course, this conversation will be fascinating as we visit with global golf course designer Paul Albanese. Paul's journey to becoming one of the leading course architects is a fascinating story in itself, as is his latest creation - the new Cedar Course at Island Resort near Escanaba, MI. Picking up the game of golf at age 5, Paul Albanese was a single digit handicapper by the time he was 13 and was fascinated by the great courses he was exposed to in Northern New Jersey, such as Somerset Hills, Baltusrol and Plainfield CC. Paul was recruited by Cornell University to play on the golf team, and he was captain of the team his senior year. Paul received a Bachelor of Science from Cornell University's engineering college, where he specified his studies in environmental and agricultural engineering. His golf team experience at Cornell allowed him to see many classic courses on the East Coast, including the famed Bethpage Black course, where the Ivy Leagues Championships are played every year. After Cornell, Paul went on to Harvard University where he received a Masters in Landscape Architecture.

The English Civil Wars are among the most traumatic and consequential events in British history. What began as a struggle between Crown and Parliament over power, money and religion tore England, Ireland and Scotland apart, leading many to refer to the period as the Wars of Three Kingdoms. It was a conflict bitter enough to split communities, turn neighbour against neighbour, and tear families to shreds. By the time it is over, thousands are dead and the victors have exacted a revenge so shocking that many fear they have insulted God himself. But what disagreements triggered the political crisis that eventually collapsed into open war? How did Charles' leadership fan the flames of rebellion? And once England goes to war with itself, who will dominate in the struggle to shape the country's future? This is a Short History Of The English Civil Wars, Part 1 of 2. A Noiser podcast production. Hosted by John Hopkins. With thanks to Mark Stoyle, Professor of History at the University of Southampton, who specialises in the English Civil War.
