What happens when an edition starts showing its age and a new one looms on the horizon? In this episode, Carl, Adan, and Josh take a hard look at the end of 10th Edition and what GW's own history tells us about what comes next. Because this isn't the first time the 40k Universe has gone through a transition, and if you know where to look, the patterns are hiding in plain sight. From the Narrative Avalanche of closing Warzones – the 500 Worlds, the Maelstrom, and the legendary return of Armageddon – to the historical precedent set by the Gathering Storm and the return of Guilliman at the end of 7th Edition, the crew breaks down exactly how GW winds down an edition and why, even in the chaos, it's actually a great time to be a fan. But the conversation doesn't stop there. 11th Edition previews are already dropping, and the internet is already on fire. Cover rule changes, new terrain layouts, character reveals; the crew walks through what's been shown and, more importantly, how to think about it clearly before the hot takes take over. Plus, we tackle the very real challenge of Rules Bleed (that maddening moment when your brain defaults to the old rules mid-game) and share practical tips for making a clean transition into a new edition. The edition may be ending, but the episode is just getting started!

This week turns on a series of disquieting signals across markets, from unusual moves in interest rate futures to mounting strains in private credit and renewed geopolitical risk surrounding Kharg Island, all against the backdrop of a sharp decline in equities. Uncertainty has come to dominate both bond and equity markets, each retreating markedly over the course of the week. Interest rate futures have shifted to reflect a higher likelihood of further tightening by the Federal Reserve, a view that is not without logic given recent inflation dynamics. Yet the same markets assign virtually no probability to rate cuts before October, an omission that suggests investors may be systematically underestimating the risk of a downturn in which policy easing would be the more likely response. At the same time, a growing number of private credit vehicles have moved to limit redemptions. While this step is often defended as a means of preventing destabilizing runs, one that may simply displace rather than extinguish the pressure, investors are likely looking elsewhere in their portfolios to raise liquidity and reduce risk, potentially transmitting stress into more liquid asset classes. Layered on top is the prospect of an escalation around Kharg Island, a development that would carry material implications for energy markets and, by extension, inflation. Taken together, these strands point to a market that is beginning, perhaps belatedly, to confront the fragility of the economic foundations on which recent optimism has rested.

All things competitive in the world of Warhammer 40,000. This week, Ray, Robert, and Eric go over the results from the Triples Cities GT, PNW Warlords spring GT, Oklahoma Wargaming’s big event, among others, plus some talk about the rumors around the 11th edition release.

Hosts Rick Houston, Steve Waid and Jeffrey Baker discuss the third episode of our new documentary podcast series, Firestorm: 2000-2001 -- The Years That Forever Changed NASCAR. In later years, a perception would develop that NASCAR did not react fast enough to accidents that claimed the lives of Adam Petty and Kenny Irwin. We lay out the case that safety in NASCAR in that era wasn't necessarily a question of simply making rules and forcing competitors to change their way of thinking. It was FAR more complicated with unfamiliar new technology and the sport's most influential voice decrying change. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In the summer of 2000, NASCAR faced a massive safety firestorm. But while many drivers pleaded for change following the tragic crashes of Adam Petty and Kenny Irwin at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, Dale Earnhardt Sr. stood his ground, famously calling out the "candy asses" who wanted to slow the cars down. In this episode of Firestorm: 2000-2001 -- The Years That Forever Changed NASCAR, we dive deep into the intense NASCAR safety debate of 2000. We uncover the behind-the-scenes culture clash between The Intimidator's old-school macho persona and the growing push for safety from drivers like Jeff Burton and Brett Bodine. Why did Earnhardt despise restrictor plates ("Take them damn things off and let her rip!"), refuse to wear full-face helmets, and mock the HANS device? We explore the fierce resistance to modernizing stock car safety, the secret injuries drivers hid to keep racing, and NASCAR's early, desperate attempts to test energy-absorbing walls and Styrofoam blocks before Dean Sicking's game-changing invention of the SAFER barrier. What you'll learn in this episode: • The fallout from the tragic 2000 NASCAR deaths of Adam Petty and Kenny Irwin • Dale Earnhardt's unfiltered thoughts on restrictor plates, the HANS device, and full-face helmets • The intense garage divide between old-school traditionalists and new safety advocates • NASCAR's experimental (and sometimes rudimentary) soft wall tests • The origin story of the SAFER barrier Learn more about your ad choices.

Joseph Loconte drops by to talk about his new book, The War for Middle-earth: J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis Confront the Gathering Storm, 1933–1945. He and Chris discuss the friendship between Tolkien and Lewis, the impact of both world wars on their literary lives, and how they influenced each other's most celebrated works. Show notes: Joseph's new book, The War […]

On this week's episode of The Current Thing I am joined by author Joseph Loconte to talk about his new book, The War for Middle-earth, which focuses on how J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis were shaped by the two great wars of the 20th century. We discuss: -How Lewis and Tolkien preserved their belief in heroism and honour even after suffering through war -How the West became disillusioned from the 1930s onwards -What Lewis would have made of the current political predicament in Western nations -Tolkien's support of Franco in the Spanish Civil War -How to reclaim our ‘civilisational confidence' -Whether Lewis would have eventually converted to Catholicism, as some claim -How Lewis's work compares to Tolkien's in significance and quality -The lost art of male friendship -Why Joseph converted from Catholic to Protestant And lots more!

In this episode of Ron's Amazing Stories, we return to the tense days of 1940, when the world was already at war—and America was watching the storm clouds gather. The Story comes from Lux Radio Theatre: the radio adaptation of the MGM film Flight Command. Released in 1940, the film starred Robert Taylor, Ruth Hussey, and Walter Pidgeon, with all three reprising their roles for radio. It was the first Hollywood film to openly glorify the American military after the outbreak of World War II in Europe—arriving a full year before the United States entered the conflict. The story follows Navy Ensign Alan Drake, a rookie pilot assigned to an elite fighter squadron known as the "Hellcats." Struggling with early mistakes and a damaging misunderstanding, Drake must ultimately prove his skill, courage, and character during a dangerous test of new blind-landing equipment. In the opening segment, Ron explores Flight Command's place in history and its quiet role in preparing audiences for the realities ahead. Before the story begins, we look at the real-life inspiration behind the film's squadron: Fighting Squadron 8 (VF-8), one of the Navy's early elite aviation units. In the closing segment, Ron discusses the real-world invention that made the film's dramatic finale possible—the early instrument landing systems that allowed pilots to land safely in zero-visibility conditions, forever changing aviation. A story of duty, discipline, and courage in uncertain times—this is Flight Command.

Send us a textDr. Joseph Loconte joins Joe for a powerful exploration of faith, imagination, and courage in times of crisis—how two Oxford professors used story to resist the darkness of their age and inspire generations to come.As a historian and author of The War for Middle-earth: J. R. R. Tolkien and C. S. Lewis Confront the Gathering Storm, 1933–1945, Dr. Loconte reveals how the trauma of the First World War and the rise of totalitarianism shaped the moral imagination of both Tolkien and Lewis. While fascism, communism, and nihilism were eroding meaning across Europe, these two friends responded with mythic tales that reawakened the timeless virtues of courage, friendship, sacrifice, and faith.In this conversation, Joe and Dr. Loconte unpack what it means to lead with conviction in an age of cynicism—how to confront “the gathering storm” of fear and confusion not through force, but through imagination, integrity, and truth. They explore how literature can serve as resistance, how belief can ground moral clarity, and why cultivating the inner life is essential for any leader facing dark times.Listeners will come away with a deeper understanding of the moral lessons behind The Lord of the Rings and The Chronicles of Narnia—and how these works still speak to the leaders, soldiers, and citizens called to stand in the breach today.In this episode, Joe and Dr. Loconte also explore:How the First World War shaped Tolkien and Lewis's understanding of evil and heroismWhy the 1920s and 1930s created a “crisis of meaning” across the Western worldHow their friendship became a creative alliance and a moral counteroffensiveWhy The Hobbit and The Chronicles of Narnia are, at their core, acts of defiance against despairWhat “the cataract of nonsense” teaches us about propaganda and the need for historical literacyThe spiritual courage required to use one's gifts—even when the world seems to be falling apartHow both men modeled leadership through faith, fellowship, and imaginationWhether you're leading in the military, education, or business, this episode offers timeless lessons on how conviction, creativity, and courage can help us navigate our own modern storms—and remind us that even in the darkest times, grace and goodness still have the final word.A Special Thanks to Our Sponsors!Veteran-founded Adyton.

When Field Marshal Douglas Haig launched his great Flanders offensive in July 1917, he believed he was unleashing the battle that would end the war. Instead, he condemned three-quarters of a million men to fight and die in what would become synonymous with the horror of the Western Front.In this opening episode, Mat McLachlan reveals how the stage was set for Third Ypres through a deadly convergence of strategic necessity and catastrophic weather. Through authentic accounts, we explore the crisis that made the battle inevitable: the French Army's collapse into mutiny after the disastrous Nivelle Offensive; the devastating U-boat campaign threatening to starve Britain into submission; and Haig's fateful decision to entrust his decisive battle to the aggressive General Hubert Gough rather than the methodical Herbert Plumer.From the spectacular success of Messines Ridge - where 19 massive mines vaporized 10,000 German soldiers in 19 seconds - to the opening disaster of July 31st when torrential rain transformed the battlefield, Mat captures the human drama and strategic miscalculations that defined the campaign's tragic opening.Why did Haig reject Plumer's plea to continue after Messines? How did catastrophically wrong weather predictions shape the battle? What drove Irish divisions from both sides of the religious divide to advance together into the slaughter at Langemarck?"In my opinion the war can only be won here in Flanders." - Field Marshal Douglas Haig, August 13, 1917Episode Length: 43 minutesFeatures: Authentic diary entries, Crown Prince Rupprecht's battlefield assessments and firsthand accounts from German blockhouses to Irish trenches.Next Episode: The Australians enter the battle at Menin Road, testing new tactics against German steel and concrete.Presenter: Mat McLachlanProducer: Jess StebnickiReady to walk the battlefields?
