Text usOn Night 26 of the Anthology of Horror Halloween Special, we step into the flickering workshop of memory with “My Grandfather's Final Invention” by Alice Thompson—a haunting story of legacy, obsession, and the ghosts we leave behind in the name of progress.It begins with a granddaughter uncovering the remnants of her grandfather's secret work—an invention whispered about but never revealed. What she finds in the dust and shadows of his abandoned study challenges everything she thought she knew about him. Piece by piece, the truth begins to take shape: a machine built not to serve, but to remember; not to live, but to linger.As the story unfolds, the line between creation and curse grows dangerously thin. The question becomes not what he built—but why it's still running.Credits:Story: “My Grandfather's Final Invention” by Alice ThompsonNarration: Spring Heeled Jack (Anthony Landis)Produced by: Mickie EberzMusic by: EmpressClosing Song: “In the Name of Love” by EmpressSupport the showDemented Darkness https://open.spotify.com/show/2ausD083OiTmVycCKpapQ8Dark Side of the Nerd https://open.spotify.com/show/6cwN3N3iifSVbddNRsXRTuFoxhound43 https://rumble.com/user/Foxhound43

On this day in Tudor history, 10 October 1530, Thomas Grey, 2nd Marquess of Dorset, died. Soldier, jouster, courtier, and grandfather of Lady Jane Grey, he lived a life that perfectly captured the dangers and rewards of Tudor ambition. Born into royalty - grandson of Elizabeth Woodville and Katherine Neville, sister of the Kingmaker - Thomas grew up in the shadow of shifting alliances and rebellion. He was imprisoned by Henry VII, restored under Henry VIII, and rose again through charm, courage, and sheer survival instinct. - He dazzled at court tournaments, fought in France in 1513, escorted Mary Tudor to her French wedding, and bore the sword of state at the Field of Cloth of Gold. - He sat in judgment on the Duke of Buckingham, backed Henry VIII's annulment, and—when the tides turned—joined the charges against Cardinal Wolsey. - Yet behind the glitter was a man who fought feuds, faced imprisonment, and watched power slip as easily as it came. By his death, he was one of England's wealthiest nobles—and the patriarch of a line that would end in tragedy with Lady Jane Grey. Join me,  historian and author Claire Ridgway, for the remarkable story of a Tudor magnate who lived, fought, and schemed at the heart of power.

True Crime Tuesday Presents: Presiding Over Shadows: From Chaos To Order In The Court with Circuit Court Judge/Author, Judge Michael Randazzo! Judge Michael Randazzo never should have been. His story begins in a pop-up trailer-no electricity, no running water-born to parents who dropped out of high school and carried the weight of the family's excommunication from the Sicilian Mafia. He came into the world premature, delivered by a veterinarian, clinging to life while doctors warned I'd never catch up. Crime and tragedy run through Michael's bloodline: moonshining, sexual abuse, attempted manslaughter. His father struck deals with the Mexican Cartel and still battles opioid addiction. Every member of his family has been both perpetrator and victim. Yet, somewhere between generational sin and the chance to start over, he clawed his way through law school. Today, Michael serves as one of Missouri's youngest Presiding Circuit Judges. On Today's Show, we sit down with Judge Randazzo and talk about how the sins of the Great Grandafther, Grandfather, and Father changed the mind of the Son.  How Michael and his brother, Kevin have managed to change the reputation and the last name of Randazzo in the community, How Michael keeps his children on the straight and narrow and away from the temptation of "the family business", and what makes Michael Randazzo a unique person to serve on the bench!

Send us a textIn this episode:Lee Lambert, the self-described "grandfather of the PMP" and last living founder of the certification from 1984, brings his wealth of experience and trademark humor to this enlightening conversation about project management's past, present, and future.  From humble beginnings with just 39 certified professionals in its first year to today's 1.7 million PMPs worldwide, Lee traces the remarkable evolution of project management certification. His own journey proves there's no single path to success in this field - starting in drafting and engineering before volunteering to train 300 engineers on earned value management, which launched his career in project management. The conversation takes a fascinating turn when Lee recounts leading a $300-400 million annual project to determine nuclear waste storage locations in the 1980s. This massive undertaking required navigating complex technical, environmental, and political landscapes - providing him with invaluable real-world experience that shaped his understanding of effective project management.  Today, Lee channels his passion into promoting the Pure Project Manager credential, which he sees as the perfect practical complement to the theory-based PMP. With 29 diverse courses covering everything from communication to creativity to risk management, the credential helps project managers translate book knowledge into actionable skills. As Lee puts it, "How does all that stuff I learned, the jargon, translate into better project management?"  Throughout our conversation, Lee emphasizes the critical importance of risk management - especially with today's AI tools that can dramatically improve risk identification and mitigation. His insights on networking, professional growth, and finding your path in project management are invaluable for practitioners at any stage of their career. When asked how someone can know if project management is right for them, Lee offers straightforward wisdom: "Until you do it, you won't know."Episode Links:Connect with Lee  on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lelambert/Take your next step with the PURE Project Management Credential:  https://www.puremanagementalliance.com/#675860292cf36PM-Mastery Links: For a full podcast episode list, visit here: PM-Mastery Podcast Episodes.

Chris writes "My wife and I were on a car trip back in February. I had 12 hours of driving to do and wanted a new podcast to fill the time with. I was looking for something paranormal or supernatural and came across Sasquatch chronicles. I downloaded a few and off we went. After the first few episodes I started hearing specific details that would remind me of my grandfathers farm. After a few more episodes my wife looks at me and says, “Don't some of these sound like your ghost stories?” I had been thinking the same thing too. So after 6 months of listening to the archives I've finally gotten around to email you about my Grandfathers farm. My grandfather had 80 acres in western North Carolina. We lived in Asheville Nc, about 20 miles north of my grandfather. He was a hermit, divorced from my grandmother. And lived in their old house filled with stuff in case the world entered into another depression. We would visit him about every other month. My mom would sit and talk with him, while my brothers and me would explore thru the junk filled barns, sheds, and out buildings. He had also built a 5 acre pond on his property for his grandsons to be able to fish in. It was stocked with bass and blue gill. He was a hard old man, that told you something only once, and expected it to be done. But he would also joke around with you. He use to tell us to look out for them boogers out there. When I was in 8th grade when my grandfather died and left his farm to my mother. Over the next two years we would go out to the property almost every weekend and holiday. We were cleaning it up. We didn't know it at the time, but our parents were planning on moving us into the house. We started camping out on the property sometimes when we would stay out there for a few days. It was during these visits, I started hearing neighbors talking about strange things on the property. About being chased away when they tried to fish at the pond. Always feeling like someone was watching them. In the summer of 1998 my parents moved myself and my 4 younger brothers into my grandfathers house. In the 2 years of working on the house to move into it, I had experienced enough to know that the house was haunted, and that my grandfathers ghost lived in the lake. I didn't tell anyone other than my brothers and my parents. My brothers and I all believed there was something going on. Our parents kept telling it that it was our imagination. So we kept it to ourselves. It just became normal.

This unsettling true ghost story follows one person's long, escalating encounters with a presence that moved through cities and old houses, refusing to be rationalized away. What begins as the creaks and drafts of an aging Philadelphia rowhouse soon becomes something far darker: utensils sliding, toys placed with intent, lights that explode in bright shrapnel, and a bathtub that runs for hours with no explanation. Listeners who crave haunted house accounts, real hauntings, and first-person paranormal testimony will find this episode impossible to ignore. The narrator chronicles how small, uncanny details stacked into undeniable patterns—dog toys balanced on windowsills, shadows seen in mirrors, and a named presence they jokingly called “Charlie.” Technology fails to comfort: motion cameras capture overexposed flares, fogged frames, and EM surges where electricians find nothing wrong. Friends and roommates become witnesses; a local paranormal researcher records unexplained spikes but offers no tidy answers. This episode is as much about the psychological toll as it is about the spectacle of hauntings: sleepless nights, panic attacks, grounding techniques, and the rituals people cling to for safety. It explores whether the phenomenon is tied to place or person, and what it means when a dead relative's voice starts delivering impossible truths in dreams. For fans of EVP, shadow figures, and haunting investigations, this is a cinematic, hair-raising account of living with a presence that won't leave.

ord.En: As Ingrid spoke, Signe began to cry quietly, and Kasper looked down at the ground, moved by his sister's words.No: De pakket ut urna med asken, og sammen begynte de å spre den i vinden.En: They unpacked the urn with the ashes, and together they began to scatter them into the wind.No: Det var som om vinden vugget asken, en mildhet i bevegelsene, nesten passende til farvelen.En: It was as if the wind cradled the ashes, a gentleness in the movements, almost fitting for the farewell.No: Det var et rolig øyeblikk, fylt med stillheten som kommer med forståelse og avslutning.En: It was a tranquil moment, filled with the silence that comes with understanding and closure.No: I det øyeblikket kjente Ingrid en ny styrke i seg selv, en visshet om at hun hadde greid å finne en måte å minnes bestefar på.En: In that moment, Ingrid felt a new strength within herself, a certainty that she had managed to find a way to remember grandfather.No: Og Kasper, han så den betydningen slike handlinger kunne ha, selv om han ikke alltid forstod dem.En: And Kasper, he saw the significance such actions could have, even if he did not always understand them.No: De sto lenge der, tre stille figurer blant statuer og høstvinder, før de til slutt snudde for å dra hjem, samlet av den delte sorg og kjærlighet.En: They stood there for a long time, three silent figures among statues and autumn winds, before finally turning to go home, united by shared grief and love.No: Kledd i høstens farger, virket Vigelandsparken som et tidløst vitne til deres farvel, akkurat slik bestefar ville ha ønsket det.En:

Armor Party talks with Brendan Wayne, character performer of the helmeted Din Djarin of the Mandalorian. For 2 seasons of the Mandalorian and with appearances in The Book of Boba Fett, Brendan walks us through how his skills and training as a gunslinger inspired the costume and persona of the badass beneath the Beskar. Hear about his humble journey from fitting into a costume designed for a bigger actor, almost missing the audition for Dad-duties, and what his Grandfather, John "The Duke" Wayne, thought about Star Wars.Follow Brendan WayneSubscribe to Thank the Maker on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support Thank the Maker on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Get Thank the Maker merch: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ thankthemakermerch.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Find the finest garments and accessories in the galaxy at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠RSVLTS⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow and message us on Instagram to get 20% off your first purchase at rsvlts.com!Follow TTM on social media: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠thankthemakerpod.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Donate to "WHAT CHOICE? - Star Wars Fans For Abortion Access" at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠gofundme⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Follow the hosts on social media:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Adam Russell⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Nick Ghanbarian⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠William Ryan Key⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Mike Forester⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Jason Chiodo⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Ahsoka, Anakin Skywalker, Ahsoka Tano, Rosario Dawson, Hayden Christensen, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Andor, The Book of Boba Fett, The Bad Batch, The High Republic, #makesolo2happen, The Mandalorian, Star Wars Visions, Anime, Star Wars Anime, Disney Gallery, Galactic Starcruiser, Halcyon, Chandrila Star Line, Galaxy's Edge, Rogue Squadron, Disney+ Day, Hondo Supply, Armor Party, Kathleen Kennedy, Star Wars Celebration, Star Wars Black Series, Temuera Morrison, Black Krrsantan, Tosche Station, Danny Trejo, Fennec Shand, Ming-Na Wen, Mark Hamill, Luke Skywalker, Cad Bane, Princess Leia, Vivien Lyra Blair, Carrie Fisher, Tales of the Jedi, Cassian Andor, Bix Caleen, Brasso, Luthen Rael, Mon Mothma, Vel Sartha, Cinta Kaz, Dedra Meero, Syril Karn, Orson Krennic

Air Force veteran Travis MossBarger was tasked with something most of us can't even imagine — sending over 300 fallen soldiers home. In this  Urban Valor episode, Travis opens up for the first time about the silent, invisible duty that haunted him every single day of his six years in service.He didn't pull a trigger — he processed the aftermath.He didn't storm a battlefield — he read the death certificates of those who did.And he didn't run from RPG fire — he lit a cigarette and walked calmly to the bunker, knowing if it hit, there was nowhere to go.This is the side of war few talk about.The trauma of handling flag-draped caskets.The emotional cost of staying silent.The guilt of sending soldiers out, and the pain of bringing them home… not the way he hoped to.Travis shares the breaking point, the buried emotions, the PTSD, and how he eventually found healing through service again — not in uniform, but in community.

Send us a textThis week on The Hot Slice Podcast, hosts Joelene and Joel Best shared an extraordinary discovery that has captivated their Hamburg, New York community and pizza lovers everywhere. What started as a routine renovation project at The Now Pizzeria transformed into an archaeological adventure when contractors uncovered a newspaper from 1881 hidden within the building's walls.The discovery happened during exterior renovations at the historic pizzeria, located right on Main Street in the village of Hamburg. When contractors began removing three layers of siding to prepare for new exterior work, they reached the original vertical plank boards—and that's when history revealed itself."He found a newspaper article from 1881 behind the boards, and he showed it to me," Joelene Best explained during the podcast interview. "I was like, that's so cool, you need to get that out for me. And he's like, What are you going to do with that? I'm like, I don't know. I'm like, I want to frame it. I just want to see it."The newspaper, identified as "Our Fair" with a New York address, was remarkably preserved despite being tucked away for nearly 150 years. According to Hamburg Town Historian Jim Baker, this type of discovery isn't uncommon—newspapers were often used as insulation in mid-1800s construction, helping keep weather out of buildings.But for the Best family, this find represented something much more significant than just old insulation material. It connected them directly to their building's rich history and sparked an obsession with uncovering more details about the structure they've called home for decades.Her research revealed fascinating details about the building's past. Before becoming The Now Pizzeria in 1969, the structure housed various businesses throughout its history, with records showing it served as women's clothing stores dating back to at least 1903. The building itself appears to have been constructed around 1881, based on the newspaper discovery.The Now Pizzeria's story is deeply intertwined with the Best family legacy. Joel Best began working at the restaurant in 1973 while still in high school, eventually purchasing it in 1982 after nine years of dedication. For 41 years, he built the business into a community cornerstone, maintaining original recipes while expanding the menu from just pizza and subs to include wings, tacos, and various fried foods.The transition to the next generation happened seamlessly when Joelene and her sister took over ownership in May 2023. Both had worked at the pizzeria for 30 years, with Joelene handling bookkeeping, payroll, and ordering long before officially becoming an owner. "It still doesn't feel real, to be honest," she admitted during the podcast.The restaurant's iconic Orange Crush sign, installed in summer 1970, has become a beloved landmark. Grandfather-claused as the only pole sign on Main Street, it serves as a beacon for locals and a nostalgic touchstone for visitors. "A lot of times when people's kids go away to college, and then they come home, they always say that they don't feel like they're home until they see the Orange Crush sign," Joelene shared.The recent renovations that led to the newspaper discovery represent more than just cosmetic improvements. The project included new siding, windows, and a permanent awning for their patio, plus energy efficiency upgrades that will help during Hamburg's notoriously harsh winters. The front room is receiving a complete facelift while maintaining the restaurant's vintage charm.As football season approaches—with the Bills' stadium just five minutes away—The Now Pizzeria prepares for its busiest time of year. Sunday game days bring crowds of hungry fans, and the restaurant's strategic location makes it a natural gathering spot for the community

When 80-year-old Donald Finch was found dead in his Montana motor home, it looked at first like an elderly man had simply died in his sleep. But an autopsy told a different story—and soon, investigators uncovered texts, forged checks, and a trail of money that pointed to betrayal from the very people he trusted most.Today my co-hosts tell you the case of Donald Finch—a grandfather who lost his savings to scams, moved closer to family for safety, and instead found himself trapped in a web of greed that ended in homicide.**************************************Do you have thoughts about this case, or is there a specific true crime case you'd like to hear about? Let me know with an email or a voice message: https://murderandlove.com/contactFind the sources used in this episode and learn more about how to support Love and Murder: Heartbreak to Homicide and gain access to even more cases, including bonus episodes, ad-free and intro-free cases, case files and more at: https://murderandlove.comMusic:℗ lesfreemusicBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/love-and-murder-heartbreak-to-homicide--4348896/support.

This week, I sit down with my 101-year-old grandfather, Papa Jack, to hear his extraordinary story of survival and love. Born in Poland in 1924, he describes the beauty of his childhood, the rise of antisemitism, and the devastation that followed when Nazi Germany invaded. He shares what it was like to be forced into a ghetto, separated from family, and pushed into camps where survival often came down to instinct and impossible choices.Papa Jack's story and his love story with my grandmother, is the origin of my interest in understanding resilience, the human condition and how we come to be who we are. Their story is one of loss, courage, and hope. In this conversation, you'll hear not just about the horrors he endured, but also about the love and laughter that carried him forward, and why he feels so strongly that his story must never be forgotten. For his birthday this weekend, I'm going to make sure that I do my part and sharing his story with all of you.

In this heart-opening conversation, Ted Page and Ginny explore why grandfathers are oddly absent from popular culture—and why their presence might be exactly what modern families are missing. Drawing on Ted's new book, Good Grandpa: Stories from the Heart of Grandfatherhood, and voices from grandpas across cultures and generations, they unpack the joy (chocolate for breakfast!), the work (moving rocks, building character), and the legacy (forever letters, shared stories) that knit families together. Learn more about Ted's work and community at GoodGrandpa.com and find his book there, too. Ted makes a compelling case that today's grandparents are the first to inherit the internet—and can use it to reduce screens, not increase them: FaceTime for connection, emails as “forever letters,” and then power down for books, brooks, clay pits, and tree climbs. You'll leave with a simple mantra from Aunt Lois—“be there for them”—and practical ideas for welcoming grandparents in as allies who protect childhood, strengthen parents, and pass down love that outlives us.

Story Transcript:Ca: Les fulles grogues caien suaument a terra, anunciant la tardor sobre l'antic recinte modernista de Sant Pau.En: The yellow leaves fell gently to the ground, heralding the arrival of autumn over the old modernist complex of Sant Pau.Ca: Les façanes de colors s'alçaven majestuoses sota el cel blau de Barcelona.En: The colorful facades stood majestically under the blue sky of Barcelona.Ca: En aquest escenari, la Marta i el Pere caminaven pel passadís, els passos ressonant lleugerament contra el terra de rajoles antigues.En: In this setting, Marta and Pere walked through the corridor, their footsteps lightly echoing against the antique tiled floor.Ca: Marta s'havia despertat aquell matí amb una barreja de pena i esperançament.En: Marta had woken up that morning with a mix of sorrow and hope.Ca: Era la Diada Nacional de Catalunya, una data important per a la seva família i, especialment, per al seu avi Jordi.En: It was the National Day of Catalonia, an important date for her family and especially for her grandfather Jordi.Ca: Anaven a visitar-lo, sabent que potser els dies per compartir amb ell serien curts.En: They were going to visit him, knowing that perhaps the days to share with him would be short.Ca: Quan van entrar a la petita habitació, Marta va notar la llum tènue que es filtrava per la finestra.En: When they entered the small room, Marta noticed the dim light filtering through the window.Ca: El seu avi, patint els efectes de l'edat, estava assegut, mirant per la finestra, observant com el món seguia girant fora.En: Her grandfather, suffering from the effects of age, was seated, gazing out the window, watching the world continue to turn outside.Ca: La Marta va agafar la mà del seu avi amb tendresa, i li va dedicar un somriure trist.En: Marta took her grandfather's hand tenderly and gave him a sad smile.Ca: Pere, d'altra banda, ja inquiet, mirava cap a la porta, escoltant el llunyà soroll de les celebracions.En: Pere, on the other hand, already restless, looked toward the door, listening to the distant sound of the celebrations.Ca: El cor de Marta pateix amb la idea de deixar al seu avi, però sap que cada moment

What do you do when your Humvee gets rocked by an IED blast… and a suspicious car creeps toward you through the dust? Most people freeze. Navy Corpsman Noi Dumpit didn't. He confronted the driver — thinking it could be his last moment — and somehow chose not to pull the trigger.In this episode of Urban Valor, Noi relives the chaos of Fallujah, where life and death blurred by the second. He breaks down the day his Humvee was launched into the air by a vehicle-borne IED, and the surreal moment that followed when he faced a possible suicide bomber.But the IED blast was only one chapter. Noi also opens up about his post-deployment struggles, the moral confusion of letting terrorists through checkpoints, and how martial arts eventually became his path to healing. From battlefield trauma to rebuilding a business back home, this story is raw, real, and unforgettable.
