Shortwave KitschSeason 10, Episode 2To Whom It May Concern… - “Double Your Pleasure, Double Your Pain!”Written by Brandon L. Joyner When all seems lost, desperate souls turn to Adriana Agony—your Agony Aunt—for answers. In “Double Your Pleasure, Double Your Pain,” Adriana is drawn into the tangled affairs of the wealthy Lark family after Arabella Lark seeks help, suspecting her twin sister Seraphina's tragic death was no accident. Teaming up with the sharp-tongued Inspector Cunningham, Adriana navigates a maze of sibling rivalry, shifting fortunes, and buried secrets at the overgrown Lark estate. As the investigation unspools, motives of greed and control come to light, culminating in a dramatic reveal where the true culprit is unmasked—and nearly claims another victim. With wit and wisdom, Adriana proves that no twin is truly a mirror, and that truth, however bitter, must be revealed. Join us for a richly atmospheric whodunit where every letter hides a story, every garden its thorns, and every answer is signed, To Whom It May Concern.“Dr. Clutterbuck's Cobbler's Delight Commercial” CAST:Rodney Lee Rogers - WilsonJay Shadix - Tagert O'MalleyBrandon L.

It's that time again! Gut that pumpkin and fill it with eggnog, because we're listening to EVEN MORE Christmas/Halloween crossover songs. Not only have we not run out of these, we've still got a few that are, you know, not terrible! We start with "Spooky Halloween Chrismtas" by Giftshop and have to re-learn what psychobilly is, then get into a more familiar groove with "Halloween on Christmas" by The Walking Who. Plus: a last-minute Halloween costume idea for couples, and also a third person, preferably a sibling or in-law! The intro sting in this episode is the theme song of "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" composed by Jeff Zahn & Jeff Fischer and the ranking music is "Psycho Killer" by Talking Heads.

Het Witte Huis is geen ambtswoning, maar het nationale symbool van de Verenigde Staten. Een politiek heiligdom. Élysée en Torentje tegelijk. Niettemin was het in 250 jaar Verenigde Staten al van alles, van woonhuis tot kinderspeelplaats, crisiscentrum, perskamer, feestzaal, rouwkapel en seksplek. Een deel ervan is nu gesloopt voor een balzaal voor 1000 gasten. En dat is nog maar het begin. Trumps bouwproject is een en al symboliek. Wat begon met ordinaire opsmuk in het oval office en een pantry vol MAGA-prullaria - 'Do not forget to visit the Gift Shop!' - ontaardt in een Versailles-achtige aanbouw bij een Romeins-republikeins stadspaleisje. Daar komt de destructie van historische plaatsen bij en een plan om heel het hart van Washington visueel te ruïneren. *** Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken.

Zend ons een mailtje en wij zoeken contact. *** Is dit megalomanie, vragen Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger zich af. Welnee! In het milieu van Las Vegas en vastgoedmagnaten waar Donald Trump zich thuis voelt is zoiets de norm. Anne Applebaum analyseert het als een bewuste privatisering van de nationale symboliek en haar historische waarde. Zoals Trump ook '250 jaar Verenigde Staten' privatiseert, zodat de historie alleen door hem en in hem betekenis krijgt en verleent. Het is de geesteshouding van een autocraat. En in geestverwanten in zulke regimes door de eeuwen heen vindt Trump zijn rolmodel. Keizer Nero bouwde een kolossaal standbeeld van zichzelf met een stadion ernaast, het Colosseum. Benito Mussolini schonk Rome een complex voor een wereldtentoonstelling en Olympiade. De Kims bouwen nog steeds aan Pyongyang als een hoofdstad van lege façade-architectuur. Hun bewonderaar Nicolae Ceaușescu dreigde Boekarest met net zulke monsterlijke bouwwerken te ruïneren. De Muur viel net op tijd. Jozef Stalin had waanzinnige bouwplannen en realiseerde ze. Al ging een 424 meter hoge toren pal naast het Kremlin met daarop een 80 meter hoog beeld van Lenin niet door. Adolf Hitler liet Albert Speer het Justitiepaleis van Brussel en de Arc de Triomphe in Parijs natekenen als voorontwerp voor zijn wereldhoofdstad Germania met haar Volkshalle. Alleen tunneldelen onder Berlijn en draagzuilen van zijn boog bleven over. Maar ambitieuze democratische heersers kunnen er ook wat van. François Mitterrand liet Parijs verfraaien met zijn Grand Louvre en Piramide, Musée d'Orsay, La Vilette, Institut Monde Arabe, Grande Arche de la Défense, Bibliotèque Nationale François Mitterrand en natuurlijk de Opéra Bastille. Die werd geopend in 1989 met een gala voor de Revolutie van 14 juli 1789. Alle groten der klassieke zang traden op. 'Le Jour de Gloire est Arrivé!' De natte droom van Donald Trump. *** Verder kijken Trump’s new White House ballroom: modern luxury or historic risk?

With tensions mounting, secrets bubbling, and everyone's loyalty tested, Pru must decide who to trust and how far she'll go to protect her own alongside Lucky Allman. Will peace prevail in the Gulch, or is trouble brewing just beneath the surface? Who really is Cane Wilder—as he seeks redemption, will he ultimately have to face his past sins? And what will happen when the clock strikes high noon?

He shares the perils of touring Canada, playing side stage at Lollapalooza '95, and his first G&L guitar.We also dive into the music that shaped him: the album that changed everything for him, why he thinks The War on Drugs is the best live band right now, and the time he had tickets to two shows at once. Plus, Craig recalls his first encounters with The Tragically Hip, gives us a peek into his fandom and explains how Gord Downie left him unsure what to think at first.And that's just part one.

On a brisk April morning in 1992, the quiet town of Agawam, Massachusetts stirred awake like any other day. But just before 9 a.m., an unsettling discovery disrupted the usual mundane routine. A clerk at Brittany's Card & Gift Shop was surprised to find her coworker Lisa Ziegert's car sat in the parking lot, yet Lisa was nowhere to be found. Inside, the unease deepened: Lisa's coat, wallet, and keys were left behind, and the back storeroom bore chilling signs of a struggle. Overcome with fear, the clerk bolted across the street to call the police—setting into motion a mystery that would haunt the town for decades to come.

In this second installment on the often-ignored topic of Christian headcovering, we move beyond the biblical mandate to examine how Church History consistently affirmed the practice and how the feminist movement worked strategically to dismantle it.For nearly two millennia, headcovering was universally practiced by faithful women across Christian denominations nearly without exception. But by the mid-20th century, it had all but vanished from the Western church. What changed? Was it new theological insight or cultural compromise?Join us as we explore how second-wave feminism targeted headcovering as a threat to its ideological goals, how pastors yielded to cultural pressure, and why recovering this symbol is about far more than fabric. This is not about going backward. It's about returning to the timeless beauty of God's design for worship, authority, and glory.⁠⁠CLICK HERE⁠⁠ to read the corresponding article to this episode and to get additional recommended reading and listening to explore this topic further.Recommended Resources for Further Study:Michael Barrett's ⁠Head Covering for Public Worship⁠Michael Barrett's ⁠Sermon Series on Headcovering⁠Bnonn Tennant on ⁠Head Coverings⁠History of Quotes on ⁠Headcovering Since the Reformation⁠⁠Head Covering: A Forgotten Christian Practice for Modern Times⁠ by Jeremy GardinerR.C.

Is this new location necessary, or is it just added pressure for families?Joining Andrea to discuss is Editor of Cork Beo, Joe O'Shea, Katie Makk from the Opinions Matter podcast, as well as listeners.

Shortwave KitschSeason 8, Episode 6Fidelity, Bravery, Integrity! - “The Sounds of Science!”Written by Brandon L. Joyner Synopsis:In this hard-boiled installment of Fidelity, Bravery, Integrity, disgraced former FBI agent Jack Finger returns to the streets with a chip on his shoulder and a new partner he never asked for—Vera Cumming, sharp as a tack and twice as fast.

Punches are thrown, disguises donned, and loyalties tested—all in the name of truth, justice, and a decent cup of coffee. But as the case deepens and shadows gather, Jack and Vera are forced to ask: “What exactly was Dr. Powell working on… and who would kill to keep it hidden?” Can two detectives crack the case before science turns sinister?

Empathy is often exalted as the chief virtue in our present age—but has our pursuit of emotional validation clouded our discernment of God's unchanging truth? In this episode of the Reformed Faith and Family Podcast, we delve into the rise of empathy in modern thinking and weigh it against the eternal virtues upheld in Scripture—compassion, mercy, and truth.Though empathy may reflect a heartfelt desire to understand another's suffering, it can, when left unchecked, blur moral limits and elevate emotional alignment above the call to Christlikeness. When emotional resonance takes precedence over the Word of God, the line between love and compromise becomes perilously thin.How then should Christians respond? Join us as we seek the wisdom of Scripture to discern what it truly means to love our neighbor—not merely by sharing in their emotions, but by guiding them toward the healing, hope, and holiness found in Christ alone.CLICK HERE to read the corresponding article to this episode and to get additional recommended reading and listening to explore this topic further.Keep Up with Reformed Faith and Family in the Following Ways:Never miss an episode, article, or a new FREEBIE by joining our weekly newsletter here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://reformedfaithandfamily.com/subscribe/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Build your library with our recommended resources: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://reformedfaithandfamily.com/recommended-resources/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Read the latest articles: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://reformedfaithandfamily.com/blog/Download your FREEBIES in our store: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://reformedfaithandfamily.com/educational-resources-store/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Check out the Gift Shop: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://reformedfaithandfamily.com/gift-shop/⁠Good Dog Bible Rebinds: https://reformedfaithandfamily.com/good-dog-designs-and-rebinds/WE HAVE A FAVOR TO ASK! If you are excited about our mission at Reformed Faith and Family to guide men and women as they seek to learn more about Reformed theology and equip families as they disciple their children, then please leave our podcast a 5-star review and share it with a friend.
