Welcome to Botched: A D&D Podcast! We begin our story, as we often do, in a small town. Turns out, small towns are the easiest place for odd stuff to happen without drawing too much attention. Well, in this case, it's not exactly a small town. It's a little mining community in the middle of snow stricken lands. As we all know, the children yearn for the mines. One of these miners is about 12, but fret not, he's been doing this job for about 6 or 7 years now, so he's very experienced. He's got the black lung of a much older man.However, the machinery malfunctions, causing a small explosion. While there are only minor injuries, it is quickly apparent that the miners have been stricken with some sort of illness. Seems like just a normal case of the flu…until all the bleeding, and pulsating pustules. Why is there a child in this mine? What is this mysterious illness? What does it do to the body? Is there any way to contain it? Why should you never mess with a man's copy of Goodnight Moon? Tune in and find out!We now have a PO Box! Wanna send us something?

Send us a textAre you have a baby or maybe another baby? If so here are some of my opinions on the journey of being a parent. Again just opinions. I hope that you enjoy your baby and don not hesitate to ask for help and when they nap you need to nap. You will need to rest so that you can be alert when baby is awake. Enjoy your little one as much as you can. Hold them and love them, because life is short.

The last time I visited Barnes and Noble, I marveled at the comic book section. Western comic books only filled a couple of shelves, while around the corner, there was an entire aisle of manga comic books.I wondered, “Why is Eastern manga so much more popular than Western comic books from DC and Marvel?” As I investigated, I discovered an interesting and shockingly ancient answer.Western storytelling is typically based on the three-act structure, which dates back to Aristotle. But one ancient story structure that dates back to the time of oral storytelling and is still popular in the East, yet it appeals to modern Western readers.Many Western storytellers have rediscovered it and used it to write some of the most enduring bestsellers in the English language, including Pride and Prejudice, Goodnight Moon, and Dracula.In this week's episode, we'll discussA story structure based on only two actsHow to create a two-act structure for a sentence or a seriesHow this structure might rescue a story you've been struggling to finishListen in or check out the blog post version of this episode to learn about this ancient story structure and how can you use it to make your book more appealing to readers.

Our Margaret Wise Brown output on this podcast has, until now, been a bit on the scanty side. Sure, we did Goodnight Moon and Runaway Bunny but beyond that we've sort of left her out in the cold. All that changes today with this, our third MWB and what may be our very first Provensen deep dive. In light of the new life injected into Little Golden Books as of late, (thanks in large part to a very big pop princess) we tackle one of these very books ourselves. In this podcast, we discuss the types of cones that appear in cats' eyes, the true color of bumblebees, why Greek goatherders resemble 80s businessmen, and so much more.

Margaret Wise Brown (May 23, 1910 – November 13, 1952) was an American writer of children's books, including Goodnight Moon (1947) and The Runaway Bunny (1942), both illustrated by Clement Hurd. She has been called "the laureate of the nursery" for her achievements.Brown was born in the Brooklyn borough of New York City, the middle child of three children of Maude Margaret and Robert Bruce Brown. She was the granddaughter of politician Benjamin Gratz Brown. Her parents had an unhappy marriage. She was initially raised in Brooklyn's Greenpoint neighborhood, and later attended Chateau Brilliantmont boarding school in Lausanne, Switzerland, in 1923, while her parents were living in India and Canterbury, Connecticut.In 1925, Brown attended The Kew-Forest School. She began attending Dana Hall School in Wellesley, Massachusetts, in 1926, where she did well in athletics. After graduation in 1928, Brown went on to Hollins College in Roanoke, Virginia.Brown was an avid, lifelong beagler and was noted for her ability to keep pace, on foot, with the hounds.Following her graduation with a B.A. in English from Hollins in 1932, Brown worked as a teacher and also studied art. While working at the Bank Street Experimental School in New York City she started writing books for children. Bank Street promoted a new approach to children's education and literature, emphasizing the real world and the "here and now". This philosophy influenced Brown's work; she was also inspired by the poet Gertrude Stein, whose literary style influenced Brown's own writing.Brown's first published children's book was When the Wind Blew, published in 1937 by Harper & Brothers. Impressed by Brown's "here and now" style, W. R. Scott hired her as his first editor in 1938. Through Scott, she published the Noisy Book series among others. As editor at Scott, one of Brown's first projects was to recruit contemporary authors to write children's books for the company. Ernest Hemingway and John Steinbeck neglected to respond, but Brown's hero, Gertrude Stein, accepted the offer. Stein's book The World is Round was illustrated by Clement Hurd, who had previously teamed with Brown on W. R. Scott's Bumble Bugs and Elephants, considered "perhaps the first modern board book for babies". Brown and Hurd later teamed on the children's book classics The Runaway Bunny and Goodnight Moon, published by Harper. In addition to publishing a number of Brown's books, under her editorship, W. R. Scott published Edith Thacher Hurd's first book, Hurry Hurry, and Esphyr Slobodkina's classic Caps for Sale.-bio via Wikipedia Get full access to The Daily Poem Podcast at dailypoempod.substack.com/subscribe

Death, the great equalizer, can sometimes arrive in the most unexpected and downright bizarre ways. There are occasions where the circumstances are so outlandish that they warrant a raised eyebrow, a shake of the head, and even a dark chuckle. Here, we delve into some of the most unusual deaths that have ever been reported. Buckle up, chumps. The Atomic Wedgie of Doom First on our list is the strange and tragic case of Brad Davis, an Oklahoma man who found himself at the intersection of sibling rivalry and homicidal rage. Brad was sentenced to 30 years in prison for killing his stepfather, Denver St. Clair, with an "atomic wedgie." Yes, you read that correctly. An atomic wedgie is a prank where the waistband of a person's underwear is pulled over their head. On that fateful day, Davis and St. Clair got into a heated argument, and in a fit of rage, Davis administered the ultimate wedgie. Tragically, the waistband cut off St. Clair's air supply, leading to his death. It's a grim reminder that pranks, no matter how juvenile or hilarious they might seem, can sometimes go disastrously wrong. The Elephant's Vengeful Return Next, we turn to a tale that seems ripped straight out of a darkly comedic horror movie. In a village in India, a woman met her untimely end at the hands (or rather, trunk) of an elephant. As if being trampled to death wasn't bizarre enough, the story takes an even stranger twist. At her funeral, the same elephant reportedly returned, stormed through the ceremony, and attacked her corpse. It's as if the elephant had a vendetta, wanting to make absolutely sure she was dead. It's hard to know whether to laugh or shudder at the surreal nature of this event. While elephants are known for their memory, this one might have taken the concept of holding a grudge to a whole new level. The Tale of Margaret Wise Brown Margaret Wise Brown, beloved author of the classic children's book "Goodnight Moon," met an end that was as unexpected as it was peculiar. While in France, Brown was hospitalized for appendicitis. After surgery, feeling quite chipper and eager to prove her recovery, she playfully kicked her leg in the air. This seemingly harmless act dislodged a blood clot, leading to her sudden death. The juxtaposition of such a joyful gesture resulting in tragedy is a poignant reminder of life's fragility. One minute you're celebrating the small victories, and the next, the rug can be pulled out from under you in the most unpredictable way. The Dublin Whiskey Fire: Cheers to the End Lastly, let's visit the Dublin Whiskey Fire of 1875, where death by alcohol poisoning took on a whole new meaning. When a fire broke out in a whiskey warehouse, thousands of barrels burst open, flooding the streets with whiskey. Instead of running away from the inferno, many Dubliners ran towards it, armed with anything that could hold the precious liquid. In the chaos that ensued, 13 people died—not from the fire or smoke inhalation, but from alcohol poisoning. It's a tragic tale with an almost slapstick twist, illustrating that sometimes, in their quest for a good time, people can go to extraordinary lengths with deadly consequences.

Ever found yourself chuckling through a hot flash or trading war stories about mood swings with your friends? Well, you're in for a treat! Join me as I sit down with the ever-delightful Brenda Bowen, who writes under the whimsical pen name Haut Flasch, to discuss her sweet take on menopause in "Goodnight Night Sweats." She partnered with the equally talented illustrator Jessie Hartland, aka Mina Pauze, to bring to life a parody of the favorite children's book, "Goodnight Moon," with a skillful blend of humor and artistry that turns the daunting world of menopause into something we can all giggle about. Brenda's candid storytelling and personal reflections offer both comfort and camaraderie, making this natural transition feel less like an ending and more like the beginning of a new, albeit sweatier, chapter.Our conversation takes us on a safari through the menopausal experiences of the animal kingdom—yes, even orcas have hot flashes—and back to the human world where Brenda shares the top-reads currently on her nightstand. We don't stop there; we're talking about self-care routines that go beyond the typical spa day, highlighting why a good yoga session or a restorative walk can be just the ticket for clarity and managing stress. So, whether you're looking for a laugh, a good book, or some sage self-care advice, join us!https://www.instagram.com/zandoprojects/Goodnight Night Sweats is available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Bookshop, and Books-A-MillionFollow Asking for a Friend on Social media outlets:https://www.instagram.com/askingforafriend_pod/https://www.facebook.com/askforafriendpod/Please provide a review and share.

Parents can download an app to turn their smartphone into a sound level meter. One good, free, option is the sound level meter app created by the U.S. National Institutes for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) available on the app store as the NIOSH SLM app. Here are some great products to help you sleep!

Go to www.ratethispodcast.com/openloopsNo guest on Open Loops can say definitively what's happening with UFOs, extraterrestrial contact, or even the freakin' moon. Two episodes ago, we had someone telling us that the moon was essentially a directed energy weapon of the depths of hell that Neil Armstrong filmed a good TikTok on once. We've heard it all on this show. We've never been there, it was a film set, the moon is a starship, it's not actually "Goodnight Moon," it's "Good Morning" but the old lady in the chair has been isolated for 14 years and has no tangible grasp on reality, We've heard all the contradictions. We've heard all the crackpot theories. But now it's 2024....the year of true "Alien Disclosure" (supposedly). ...so Greg's gung ho on going to go get himself even confused by whatever the #$#@! that thing is in the night sky. On this episode, Greg welcomes prolific researcher and author Rob Shelsky to take on all things anomalous in outer space. He guides us through the eerie terrains of enigmas like the Hollow Moon theory and the Mandela Effect. As we traverse these shadowy topics, we delve into Rob's own spine-chilling encounters from Down Under—experiences that ignited his quest for the truth amidst the world's most perplexing mysteries including: The Alien Agenda and UFO EvidenceThe Moon UFO Cover-UpsTime Travel, Hoaxes, and Hidden Bases Unusual Claims About Extraterrestrial ActivityMoon Landings and Secret Space ProgramsShadow People and EvidenceSure, it's a list shorter than Jeffrey's, but it's still intriguing!

The unlikely battle between the creator of the New York Public Library children's reading room and the beloved children's classic Goodnight Moon.Goodnight Nobody
Each year, our moon moves distinctly and inexorably farther from Earth. There is no stopping this slow ebbing - the forces of gravity are invisible and unshakable. If the moon's gravity pulls on the saltwater content in our bodies, you can imagine what it can do to people who are sensitive. Additionally, the Earth's magnetic field is weakening, causing adverse planetary changes and strange anomalies. Perhaps these dynamic astronomical conditions are why we are told in the Bible and other ancient texts to be aware of the signs and wonders in the heavens as they are a prelude to apocalyptic events.
