There was a stretch of her life, not long ago, when the fear came and would not leave. She was not a foolish woman. She ran a full, loud household; she was the one other people leaned on. Then something ended, and into the space it left, the fear came — a certainty, every night, that something was testing the edges of the house, looking for the way in.She checked the locks a hundred times a night. It didn't help, because she did it frightened and at random.Then she found the steps. The same doors, in the same order, a hand flat on each one, the name said out loud. And for the first time in months, the fear stopped.It came back, of course. A little bigger each time. And each time she did the steps, the relief was a little sweeter.Part 1 of 4.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media! Get all our shows on any player you love, hassle free!

In this episode, I share the Top 10 Good News Stories from around the world. Let's change our mindset and instead of taking in bad negative news all the time, let's actually hear about and absorb the positive good news going on.

Fated mates. Werewolf pack. Human heroine. Forced proximity. Slow burn.Sadie plans weddings for a living and believes in exactly none of them, which makes her the ideal person to stage the Thorne ceremony: three hundred guests, an estate with no cell service, a florist who works only in wolfsbane, and a bride and groom she has never met. She delivers the most beautiful work of her career. Then the officiant says words that were not in the approved script, something enormous moves through the clearing looking for a place to land, and it lands on the woman at the back holding the clipboard.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media!

Eleven years she thought the art was the gold. It isn't. The gold is only what lets you do the actual thing, which is to stop pretending the break didn't happen. You cannot mend a bowl by gluing it back into the shape it was. That bowl is a lie, and it will crack along the same line forever, because the break is still in it, denied. You mend it by making the break true — this broke, this is where, and now it is part of the shape. She has been laying counterfeit gold for three years. Her own longing. A beautiful lie. And a beautiful lie is exactly what the far side is made of.So she goes and gets Wes, and the three of them stand in the shop in the gray morning and lay down the real gold instead.

She pointed to her own throat, then to her own ear. She would listen. She would not speak.She wrote on a yellow legal pad, in careful capitals, and the first thing she wrote — before hello, before her name — was this:DON'T ANSWER IT. NOT ONCE. NOT EVER.The houses on that road were not empty once. They were full of people at the end of a road that goes nowhere, which is a certain kind of person. She had watched the lights go out, one at a time, for thirty years. And she had a list of names.Part 3 of 4.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media!

She wakes cold from the bone out. Her hands — the surest thing about her, eleven years without a tremor — are shaking, and there is less of them than there was. Something is set behind her sternum with a long line running out to sea, and it is taking in the slack.Wes finally tells her the whole of it, at the empty grave, in the fog. What happened on the hull. What his hand did.Her grief was the rope. Three years of refusing to let go became a line running into the dark, and Jonah climbed it — but nothing crosses back whole. He came back dissolved worst around the one truth nobody would say, and something has been seeping into that gap ever since.Then, in the dark, she cannot tell which one is touching her. The real Jonah came back with a wound in him, and a wound makes a man hesitate. This is fluent. This has no catch at all — because it isn't made of his love. It's made of hers, read off her skin and handed back flawless.Part 3 of 4.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media! Get all our shows on any player you love, hassle free!

Run, don't walk, over to www.letmesumup.net and subscribe to our Patreon to get this sweet, sweet BoCo!—The Great Data Centre Debate rages on and your intrepid hosts are here trying to inuit just what has been going on at National Cabinet lately. The official text out of the recent meeting isn't much to go on, but according to the Bluesky community that collectively lost its mind, its carveouts galore for coal and gas powered data centres! Not so says Minister Bowen, who hosed the outrage down, but where does this leave us? State owned generation will be able to seek a Commonwealth-decided exemption from the fully-offset-with-renewables piece - IF - it will not raise costs for other users. This goes beyond just NT and QLD state owned energy (hi there TAS), but where is all the actual investment going anyway? Mostly NSW and VIC. So much more to play out here, and you know the LMSU crew is along for the rideOur main courseThe Albanese Government's long-anticipated-and-finally-arrived ‘Securing Australia's Cleaner Fuels Industry: Consultation paper on a demand mechanism' provided the feedstock for this episode's main course! Low carbon liquid fuels would help bolster Australia's fuel security and resilience, and provide a lower emissions alternative to fossil fuels, but Australia has been exporting feedstocks like canola for other countries to make LCLFs. Can Australia grow a domestic LCLF industry? What will the costs of LCLF turn out to be with more demand and supply - are learning rates a thing here? And should electrification feature more centrally in this policy response? Your intrepid hosts muse on these - and more! - in this thoughtful consultation paper.We also refer back to Episode 77, ‘Hey Big Spender, Blend A Little SAF For Me (Low Carbon, So Refined)' where we covered the CEFC and Deloitte paper on LCLFs.One more thingsTennant's One More Thing is: Irrelevance, redux: Spooky Funny Island Edition!

She stopped answering. She thought going quiet was the same as being safe.Every night it got better. The first phrases came out wrong — rhythm off, stresses in the wrong places, a voice reading letters it didn't understand. Then the seams closed. And it wasn't only voices it was learning. It learned that if it said half a sentence and let the silence stretch, she would lean toward it, aching to hear the end.Then it found her mother. Not just the voice — six years of that voice, every grain of it right. And in her mother's voice it said the things her mother never said in forty years. I'm proud of you. I'm sorry. I heard you. I always heard you.All she had to do was answer. One word.Part 2 of 4.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media! Get all our shows on any player you love, hassle free!

She doesn't ask how. She gets him warm with her hands, reading him scar by scar like a page — and the checking becomes something else, the way it always did with them.There is a particular devastation in being touched by someone who already knows every part of you. No learning the map. His hands know the map.By morning the town knows, and the town can't decide. Some weep and call it a miracle. Some cross the street, because there is something in people that knows what is allowed, and a man three years drowned walking in the sun is not allowed. Only Wes says it out loud. Wes was in the water that night. Wes is the one who came back.And underneath the joy, the seams begin to show. Jonah cannot remember their first summer. He remembers that he is supposed to remember it. And the bowl that mended itself has a new crack running across the gold.Part 2 of 4.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media!

It starts as warmth. That's the part she needs you to understand, because if you're waiting for it to sound like a monster you'll miss it, the way she nearly did.Marion nursed her mother for six years in a house at the end of a road that goes nowhere. Six years of being talked at by a woman who never once heard her. Then her mother died, and even that was gone, and the silence came down so completely that she started saying things out loud just to hear a voice in the house.The knocking began in the small hours. She explained every sound away, sensibly, correctly — right up until the sounds started answering her. And then, because she was so tired of being the only voice in that house, she started talking back. She told it about her day. She told it about her mother. She told it the things from the middle of her.It listened. It never once interrupted. It let her finish.Part 1 of 4.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media!

She fixes broken things for a living. Eleven years of kintsugi — you never hide a break, you fill the seam with gold and make the wound the most beautiful part of the bowl.Three years ago the cove took Jonah, and gave back no body. They buried an empty box because the town needed somewhere to put its grief. A death you can bury is a break you can mend. A death with no body is a bowl with a piece simply gone.So she kept him. His place at the table, set every night. A lamp burning in the front window. And one bowl — the last thing they made together — that she mends in gold and takes down and breaks again, every night, because finishing it would mean letting him be finished.She thought she was mourning. She was pulling.Now the tide is returning things it should have kept, her mended pieces are cracking on their own, and there is a shape standing offshore in the fog where the water is over a man's head.Part 1 of 4.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media!

The week she left was the coldest of the year, and nobody was holding her anywhere. The door was right there. It was always right there. That's the whole horror of what Walt built. You can leave any time. You just have to be willing to die in the snow to do it — and he made sure you weren't, and then he called your staying love. What broke it was the custody review. Because her stability was Walt, and the day her children came home was the day she'd have to stand on her own, and he had spent five months making certain she never could. The road through him didn't lead to her kids. It circled. So she stopped trying to win, and started trying to get out. Which meant becoming, on purpose, for the length of one conversation, exactly the woman he had always so gently implied she secretly was. The finale of The Provider.

The cutover was scheduled for the coldest night of the year. He told her four nights. It turned out to be one. He called in an hour early, and the calm was gone from the first word — no dispatcher voice, no flat even hand pressed over the panic. Just a man saying her name into the dark, and then the sentence he had never in eleven years been able to make himself say. I'm calling in an emergency. The emergency is me. So she did the one unforgivable thing. She left the board mid-shift, put the last live channel on reroute, and drove sixty miles into the worst cold in thirty years, following copper nobody had touched in decades toward a place the map swore didn't exist.

She went looking for Bev because of four words she'd been too busy defending Walt to hear: I said all that too. Not I felt that. I said that. Word for word. A stranger had predicted her exact defense of him before she made it. Bev had names. Thirty years of them. A woman who died in the house having signed everything over, and the town thought it was beautiful. Ones who left and were recast as ingrates before anyone could listen to them.
