Yosemite is a place people go to disappear into nature. Granite walls, endless forests, and trails that seem to stretch forever. But for some, disappearing quickly changes to missing. And in September of 2016, that's what happened to one hiker. A remote campground. A solo hike. And no answers.

Welcome back to Bri Books! When you're hosting, choosing wine can feel daunting. Whether it's a dinner party, work event, last-minute gathering, or impromptu holiday shenanigans, here's the simple framework I rely on that never fails. In this episode, we'll cover: The three-bottle wine buying formula (red, white, wildcard) How to taste wine at home: My 4 Pillars of Place: Temperature, Terrain, Soil, and Touch How to build a wine list for parties or dinner How to Build a Wine Menu: Bri's 3-Bottle Formula To avoid overwhelm at the wine shop, use this formula: One white wine One red wine One wildcard. That's it. Simple, flexible, and stress free. Let's dig in: Crisp white as the Opener. This white wine is your opener—the bottle people drink while they arrive, settle in, chat, and snack. White wins are crisp, flexible, and food-friendly. I look for wines with high acidity and good minimality, the kind that leave you gently puckering and refreshed. A crisp white wine creates an immediate sense of ease and joy at the table. My go-to white wine categories: Chablis Gruner Vetliner Albrino Sauv blanc, from Loire Why this works: These wines pair well with almost anything: cheese, vegetables, oysters, seafood They don't overpower food They make excellent aperitif wines They set the tone for the meal by brightening flavors and waking up the palette Red wine as the main event. Your red wine is your main event. You're looking for a crowd-pleaser that's food friendly, adaptable, and easy to drink. it can be tempting to bring a big, heavy, dramatic, oak-driven red-but gatherings call for something more communal. Look for reds with: Medium body moderate tannins high drinkability Red wines I recommend: Boujulais Tempranillo (especially rioja joven) Etna Rosso reds Cotes du Rhone These red wines shine with soups and stews, tomato based dishes, roasted vegetables, poultry, and cozy winter meals. The wildcard: the personality hire wine. Go for an orange wine, a sparkling red like Lambrusco, a pet-nat, or a liter bottle of something fabulous and weird like a Madiera dessert wine. Bubbles are always a win. A dessert wine course moves your guests through the final stages of the evening, and a liter bottle keeps things flowing. Use the wildcard to spark conversation about what there wine comes from, how it's made, and why it tastes the way it does.   How to Do an At-Home Wine Tasting Using the 4 Pillars of Place My 4 pillars framework helps you understand where your wine comes from, even without the label. Temperature: Look at the wine. Color intensity can give you climate clues. Terroir: Smell the wine. Aromas reflect whether grapes grew near the sea, mountains, forests, or plains ltitude = floral, lifted flavors Warm climate = ripe, deeply drinkable Coastal = salty, breezy, fresh finish Mountain = Sharp, linear, mineral Valley floor = lush, smooth Volcanic = smoky, stony, earthy flavors Soil: Taste the wine. Texture reveals the soil type. As a reminder: limestone = chalky, saline wine Volcanic = smoky, ashy flavors in the wine Granite = crunchy, bright, often 'cool' flavors in the wine Clay = smooth, plush, slightly pucker-y in flavor High a Touch: Notice winemaking styl. Is it bright? Clean? Raw? Heavy sediment? Is it sharp? Does it grip? Touch is the easiest pillar to learn and the quickest path to understanding what you like.

Holly, Glenn and Iseult have received repossession letters. Soon all three will be evicted from their homes. But they're not giving up without a fight. They cobble together a manifesto for their new campaign - 30 Acres Says No. Their first meeting is in Glenn's survivalist-themed man-shed, complete with a stash of iodine tablets and a hoard of 1916 memorabilia and weapons. Holly searches for her uncle, Sean Granite, the developer of 30 Acres, in the hopes of reversing the repossession order. Then Holly learns that her uncle fudged the paperwork related to the purchase of her home. It would be probably better for everyone if she left Glenn's antique revolver where it belonged, but she hasn't.CastBarbara Bergin, (Iseult)Shane Casey (Glenn)John Colleary (Sean)Philippa Dunne (Pat)Barry Murphy (Alistair)Stefanie Preissner (Holly)Colm Tobin (Colm)Aidan O'Donovan (TV Presenter/Priest)Produced by Kevin Brew for Drama On One with Kevin Reynolds and Gorretti Slavin.

In this episode of Helsinki Calling, listeners are invited to step inside the Nordea Bank Museum and experience one of Helsinki's most beautiful and least-expected interiors. Behind the granite walls of Aleksanterinkatu 36B unfolds a grand banking hall designed in 1898 by Gustaf Nyström—soaring columns, a luminous glass ceiling, and architectural precision that still conveys confidence and calm more than a century later.Beyond the architecture lies a masterful and intimate collection of paintings that transforms the space from historic monument to cultural sanctuary. Highlights include works by leading Finnish artists, most notably Helene Schjerfbeck's My Mother—a deeply human portrait that feels almost secretive in this former seat of financial power. The contrast between economic history and artistic sensitivity is what makes this visit unforgettable.This episode explains why stepping inside matters—and why lingering does too.

SHOW NOTES: Happy holidays, everyone! With just a few weeks left until Christmas, we're making sure you get those home projects done and make DIY doable with clear tips and advice. Join us as we chat about these home improvement topics and questions from callers like you: - Clear Advice on Buying New Windows: We simplify the confusing process of buying new windows by explaining the labels from the National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC). Understanding these ratings will help you compare energy performance and save money. - Granite Countertops in a Weekend: If you're noticing areas that need help in the kitchen, we share an easy DIY solution to give your countertops a fresh, sleek look with a smooth granite finish in just one weekend. - Holiday Lighting Safety: We offered safe and sound tips for holiday decorating, such as checking all your lights for the UL seal of approval for safety. We also discussed easy ways to replace frayed lighting strands from last year. Q & A: - Sally reported that her two large, double-pane picture windows are fogged up with moisture trapped between the panes. Unfortunately, this moisture indicates a failed Thermopane seal, which cannot be restored or repaired, so replacement is the only viable remedy. - Tim in Michigan is dealing with wrinkles in his sheet vinyl linoleum floor and mentioned that the subfloor beneath the kitchen addition is uneven. We recommend he first use a floor leveling compound to smooth out the subfloor, and then install a new, affordable product instead of chasing the issues with the old sheet product. - Maya in Iowa needs to remove old, glued-on outdoor carpet that is deteriorating on her concrete steps. She should use a chemical adhesive remover to soften the glue for easier scraping, and then consider covering the steps with an outside-rated ceramic tile or thin pavers. - Greg in Louisiana has a toilet shut-off valve handle that broke off, and he needs to replace the valve with limited working space between the pipe and the wall. We recommend using PEX fittings, which are inexpensive and easy to install without soldering. - Beverly wants to paint her cedar patio posts white to match her home's trim, but her builder warned that painting would trap moisture and cause the posts to rot. We advise her to disregard the builder's warning, prime the posts with an oil-based primer, and then apply a solid color stain to protect the wood.   ASK A QUESTION: Need help with your own home improvement or décor question?

The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for listening to the episode. Christopher S. Penn: In this week’s *In-Ear Insights*, let’s talk about small language models. Katie, you recently came across this and you’re like, okay, we’ve heard this before. What did you hear? Katie Robbert: As I mentioned on a previous episode, I was sitting on a panel recently and there was a lot of conversation around what generative AI is. The question came up of what do we see for AI in the next 12 months? Which I kind of hate that because it’s so wide open. But one of the panelists responded that SLMs were going to be the thing. I sat there and I was listening to them explain it and they’re small language models, things that are more privatized, things that you keep locally. I was like, oh, local models, got it. Yeah, that’s already a thing. But I can understand where moving into the next year, there’s probably going to be more of a focus on it. I think that the term local model and small language model in this context was likely being used interchangeably. I don’t believe that they’re the same thing. I thought local model, something you keep literally locally in your environment, doesn’t touch the internet. We’ve done episodes about that which you can catch on our livestream if you go to TrustInsights.ai YouTube, go to the Soap playlist. We have a whole episode about building your own local model and the benefits of it. But the term small language model was one that I’ve heard in passing, but I’ve never really dug deep into it. Chris, in as much as you can, in layman’s terms, what is a small language model as opposed to a large language model, other than— Christopher S. Penn: Is the best description? There is no generally agreed upon definition other than it’s small. All language models are measured in terms of the number of tokens they were trained on and the number of parameters they have. Parameters are basically the number of combinations of tokens that they’ve seen. So a big model like Google Gemini, GPT 5.1, whatever we’re up to this week, Claude Opus 4.5—these models are anywhere between 700 billion and 2 to 3 trillion parameters. They are massive. You need hundreds of thousands of dollars of hardware just to even run it, if you could. And there are models. You nailed it exactly. Local models are models that you run on your hardware. There are local large language models—Deep Seq, for example. Deep Seq is a Chinese model: 671 billion parameters. You need to spend a minimum of $50,000 of hardware just to turn it on and run it. Kimmy K2 instruct is 700 billion parameters. I think Alibaba Quinn has a 480 billion parameter. These are, again, you’re spending tens of thousands of dollars. Models are made in all these different sizes. So as you create models, you can create what are called distillates. You can take a big model like Quinn 3 480B and you can boil it down. You can remove stuff from it till you get to an 80 billion parameter version, a 30 billion parameter version, a 3 billion parameter version, and all the way down to 100 million parameters, even 10 million parameters. Once you get below a certain point—and it varies based on who you talk to—it’s no longer a large language model, it’s a small English model. Because the smaller the model gets, the dumber it gets, the less information it has to work with. It’s like going from the Oxford English Dictionary to a pamphlet. The pamphlet has just the most common words. The Oxford English Dictionary has all the words. Small language models, generally these days people mean roughly 8 billion parameters and under. There are things that you can run, for example, on a phone. Katie Robbert: If I’m following correctly, I understand the tokens, the size, pamphlet versus novel, that kind of a thing. Is a use case for a small language model something that perhaps you build yourself and train solely on your content versus something externally? What are some use cases? What are the benefits other than cost and storage? What are some of the benefits of a small language model versus a large language model? Christopher S. Penn: Cost and speed are the two big ones. They’re very fast because they’re so small. There has not been a lot of success in custom training and tuning models for a specific use case. A lot of people—including us two years ago—thought that was a good idea because at the time the big models weren’t much better at creating stuff in Katie Robbert’s writing style. So back then, training a custom version of say Llama 2 at the time to write like Katie was a good idea. Today’s models, particularly when you look at some of the open weights models like Alibaba Quinn 3 Next, are so smart even at small sizes that it’s not worth doing that because instead you could just prompt it like you prompt ChatGPT and say, “Here’s Katie’s writing style, just write like Katie,” and it’s smart enough to know that. One of the peculiarities of AI is that more review is better. If you have a big model like GPT 5.1 and you say, “Write this blog post in the style of Katie Robbert,” it will do a reasonably good job on that. But if you have a small model like Quinn 3 Next, which is only £80 billion, and you have it say, “Write a blog post in style of Katie Robbert,” and then re-invoke the model, say, “Review the blog post to make sure it’s in style Katie Robbert,” and then have it review it again and say, “Now make sure it’s the style of Katie Robbert.” It will do that faster with fewer resources and deliver a much better result. Because the more passes, the more reviews it has, the more time it has to work on something, the better tends to perform. The reason why you heard people talking about small language models is not because they’re better, but because they’re so fast and so lightweight, they work well as agents. Once you tie them into agents and give them tool handling—the ability to do a web search—that small model in the same time it takes a GPT 5.1 and a thousand watts of electricity, a small model can run five or six times and deliver a better result than the big one in that same amount of time. And you can run it on your laptop. That’s why people are saying small language models are important, because you can say, “Hey, small model, do this. Check your work, check your work again, make sure it’s good.” Katie Robbert: I want to debunk it here now that in terms of buzzwords, people are going to be talking about small language models—SLMs. It’s the new rage, but really it’s just a more efficient version, if I’m following correctly, when it’s coupled in an agentic workflow versus having it as a standalone substitute for something like a ChatGPT or a Gemini. Christopher S. Penn: And it depends on the model too. There’s 2.1 million of these things. For example, IBM WatsonX, our friends over at IBM, they have their own model called Granite. Granite is specifically designed for enterprise environments. It is a small model. I think it’s like 8 billion to 10 billion parameters. But it is optimized for tool handling. It says, “I don’t know much, but I know that I have tools.” And then it looks at its tool belt and says, “Oh, I have web search, I have catalog search, I have this search, I have all these tools.” Even though I don’t know squat about squat, I can talk in English and I can look things up. In the WatsonX ecosystem, Granite performs really well, performs way better than a model even a hundred times the size, because it knows what tools to invoke. Think of it like an intern or a sous chef in a kitchen who knows what appliances to use and in which order. The appliances are doing all the work and the sous chef is, “I’m just going to follow the recipe and I know what appliances to use. I don’t have to know how to cook. I just got to follow the recipes.” As opposed to a master chef who might not need all those appliances, but has 40 years of experience and also costs you $250,000 in fees to work with. That’s kind of the difference between a small and a large language model is the level of capability. But the way things are going, particularly outside the USA and outside the west, is small models paired with tool handling in agentic environments where they can dramatically outperform big models. Katie Robbert: Let’s talk a little bit about the seven major use cases of generative AI. You’ve covered them extensively, so I probably won’t remember all seven, but let me see how many I got. I got to use my fingers for this. We have summarization, generation, extraction, classification, synthesis. I got two more. I lost. I don’t know what are the last two? Christopher S. Penn: Rewriting and question answering. Katie Robbert: Got it. Those are always the ones I forget. A lot of people—and we talked about this. You and I talk about this a lot. You talk about this on stage and I talked about this on the panel. Generation is the worst possible use for generative AI, but it’s the most popular use case. When we think about those seven major use cases for generative AI, can we sort of break down small language models versus large language models and what you should and should not use a small language model for in terms of those seven use cases? Christopher S. Penn: You should not use a small language model for generation without extra data. The small language model is good at all seven use cases, if you provide it the data it needs to use. And the same is true for large language models. If you’re experiencing hallucinations with Gemini or ChatGPT, whatever, it’s probably because you haven’t provided enough of your own data. And if we refer back to a previous episode on copyright, the more of your own data you provide, the less you have to worry about copyrights. They’re all good at it when you provide the useful data with it. I’ll give you a real simple example. Recently I was working on a piece of software for a client that would take one of their ideal customer profiles and a webpage of the clients and score the page on 17 different criteria of whether the ideal customer profile would like that page or not. The back end language model for this system is a small model. It’s Meta Llama 4 Scout, which is a very small, very fast, not a particularly bright model. However, because we’re giving it the webpage text, we’re giving it a rubric, and we’re giving it an ICP, it knows enough about language to go, “Okay, compare.” This is good, this is not good. And give it a score. Even though it’s a small model that’s very fast and very cheap, it can do the job of a large language model because we’re providing all the data with it. The dividing line to me in the use cases is how much data are you asking the model to bring? If you want to do generation and you have no data, you need a large language model, you need something that has seen the world. You need a Gemini or a ChatGPT or Claude that’s really expensive to come up with something that doesn’t exist. But if you got the data, you don’t need a big model. And in fact, it’s better environmentally speaking if you don’t use a big heavy model. If you have a blog post, outline or transcript and you have Katie Robbert’s writing style and you have the Trust Insights brand style guide, you could use a Gemini Flash or even a Gemini Flash Light, the cheapest of their models, or Claude Haiku, which is the cheapest of their models, to dash off a blog post. That’ll be perfect. It will have the writing style, will have the content, will have the voice because you provided all the data. Katie Robbert: Since you and I typically don’t use—I say typically because we do sometimes—but typically don’t use large language models without all of that contextual information, without those knowledge blocks, without ICPs or some sort of documentation, it sounds like we could theoretically start moving off of large language models. We could move to exclusively small language models and not be sacrificing any of the quality of the output because—with the caveat, big asterisks—we give it all of the background data. I don’t use large language models without at least giving it the ICP or my knowledge block or something about Trust Insights. Why else would I be using it? But that’s me personally. I feel that without getting too far off the topic, I could be reducing my carbon footprint by using a small language model the same way that I use a large language model, which for me is a big consideration. Christopher S. Penn: You are correct. A lot of people—it was a few weeks ago now—Cloudflare had a big outage and it took down OpenAI, took down a bunch of other people, and a whole bunch of people said, “I have no AI anymore.” The rest of us said, “Well, you could just use Gemini because it’s a different DNS.” But suppose the internet had a major outage, a major DNS failure. On my laptop I have Quinn 3, I have it running inside LM Studio. I have used it on flights when the internet is highly unreliable. And because we have those knowledge blocks, I can generate just as good results as the major providers. And it turns out perfectly. For every company. If you are dependent now on generative AI as part of your secret sauce, you have an obligation to understand small language models and to have them in place as a backup system so that when your provider of choice goes down, you can keep doing what you do. Tools like LM Studio, Jan, AI, Cobol, cpp, llama, CPP Olama, all these with our hosting systems that you run on your computer with a small language model. Many of them have drag and drop your attachments in, put in your PDFs, put in your knowledge blocks, and you are off to the races. Katie Robbert: I feel that is going to be a future live stream for sure. Because the first question, you just sort of walk through at a high level how people get started. But that’s going to be a big question: “Okay, I’m hearing about small language models. I’m hearing that they’re more secure, I’m hearing that they’re more reliable. I have all the data, how do I get started? Which one should I choose?” There’s a lot of questions and considerations because it still costs money, there’s still an environmental impact, there’s still the challenge of introducing bias, and it’s trained on who knows. Those things don’t suddenly get solved. You have to sort of do your due diligence as you’re honestly introducing any piece of technology. A small language model is just a different piece of technology. You still have to figure out the use cases for it. Just saying, “Okay, I’m going to use a small language model,” doesn’t necessarily guarantee it’s going to be better. You still have to do all of that homework. I think that, Chris, our next step is to start putting together those demos of what it looks like to use a small language model, how to get started, but also going back to the foundation because the foundation is the key to all of it. What knowledge blocks should you have to use both a small and a large language model or a local model? It kind of doesn’t matter what model you’re using. You have to have the knowledge blocks. Christopher S. Penn: Exactly. You have to have the knowledge blocks and you have to understand how the language models work and know that if you are used to one-shotting things in a big model, like “make blog posts,” you just copy and paste the blog post. You cannot do that with a small language model because they’re not as capable. You need to use an agent flow with small English models. Tools today like LM Studio and anythingLLM have that built in. You don’t have to build that yourself anymore. It’s pre-built. This would be perfect for a live stream to say, “Here’s how you build an agent flow inside anythingLLM to say, ‘Write the blog post, review the blog post for factual correctness based on these documents, review the blog post for writing style based on this document, review this.'” The language model will run four times in a row. To you, the user, it will just be “write the blog post” and then come back in six minutes, and it’s done. But architecturally there are changes you would need to make sure that it meets the same quality of standard you’re used to from a larger model. However, if you have all the knowledge blocks, it will work just as well. Katie Robbert: And here I was thinking we were just going to be describing small versus large, but there’s a lot of considerations and I think that’s good because in some ways I think it’s a good thing. Let me see, how do I want to say this? I don’t want to say that there are barriers to adoption. I think there are opportunities to pause and really assess the solutions that you’re integrating into your organization. Call them barriers to adoption. Call them opportunities. I think it’s good that we still have to be thoughtful about what we’re bringing into our organization because new tech doesn’t solve old problems, it only magnifies it. Christopher S. Penn: Exactly. The other thing I’ll point out with small language models and with local models in particular, because the use cases do have a lot of overlap, is what you said, Katie—the privacy angle. They are perfect for highly sensitive things. I did a talk recently for the Massachusetts Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators. One of the biggest tasks is reconciling people’s financial aid forms with their tax forms, because a lot of people do their taxes wrong. There are models that can visually compare and look at it to IRS 990 and say, “Yep, you screwed up your head of household declarations, that screwed up the rest of your taxes, and your financial aid is broke.” You cannot put that into ChatGPT. I mean, you can, but you are violating a bunch of laws to do that. You’re violating FERPA, unless you’re using the education version of ChatGPT, which is locked down. But even still, you are not guaranteed privacy. However, if you’re using a small model like Quinn 3VL in a local ecosystem, it can do that just as capably. It does it completely privately because the data never leaves your laptop. For anyone who’s working in highly regulated industries, you really want to learn small language models and local models because this is how you’ll get the benefits of AI, of generative AI, without nearly as many of the risks. Katie Robbert: I think that’s a really good point and a really good use case that we should probably create some content around. Why should you be using a small language model? What are the benefits? Pros, cons, all of those things. Because those questions are going to come up especially as we sort of predict that small language model will become a buzzword in 2026. If you haven’t heard of it now, you have. We’ve given you sort of the gist of what it is. But any piece of technology, you really have to do your homework to figure out is it right for you? Please don’t just hop on the small language model bandwagon, but then also be using large language models because then you’re doubling down on your climate impact. Christopher S. Penn: Exactly. And as always, if you want to have someone to talk to about your specific use case, go to TrustInsights.ai/contact. We obviously are more than happy to talk to you about this because it’s what we do and it is an awful lot of fun. We do know the landscape pretty well—what’s available to you out there.

OneLegUpAlex Adapts With 'Keep Chewing the Granite!' Author Bernard 'Chalky' White - Powered By Podmatch (Recorded 10-27-25) My Guest Bernard ‘Chalky' White is an internationally renowned ski instructor, #1 best-selling author of ‘The 7 Secrets of Skiing and inspirational speaker. Available on Amazon (https://tinyurl.com/3cuzn3e4) is Chalky's new, motivational memoir, “KEEP CHEWING THE GRANITE!” - How 2 Questions Can Change Your Life. They really changed his! The ‘Takeaways' from every short story are aimed at dreamers and potential goal achievers looking for impetus to overcome, even very serious, adversity. A key aspect; Author Chalky, rather than writing a straight up memoir felt it very important to offer something that could truly help readers and others overcome procrastination, self and third party naysaying or almost any other kind of adversity. Why would he do that? If his 2 Question solution could and did work for him, it can and will work for anyone who dares or cares to use it. Also, of course. Chalky's memoir full of diverse adventures has plenty for those who simply enjoy true, sometimes heart wrenching, intriguing, sad to funny stories. Chalky and I will discuss how to use his simple but effective solution. He might even tell you the odd story. My Podmatch affiliate link: https://www.joinpodmatch.com/o...

Tim Hogan joins us for a deep chat about the Templars and Freemasons, and the time we are in and the secrets coming out.   We chat about true alchemy, making Manna, The arks as powerful artifacts, gothic manuscripts, the Templars bringing back esoteric knowledge to the West, gothic cathedrals, Atlantis, Egypt, Moses and Akhenaten, granite temples, ley lines and making monoatomic Gold and platinum based metal tinctures.   In the second half we get into how the ancients worked with Granite using these processes, Cyclopean architecture, the Gnostics, Sophia, Atlas and seeding the planet with ancient myths, ancient and modern UAP's, levitation, the Rose Cross, and the American revolutionary war funded by Templars, and how you can become a Templar.   Timothy Hogan is an author and lecturer within the Western Mystery school tradition. He is a Past Master within several different spiritual traditions, including many bodies in Freemasonry (AF&AM) and of Rosicrucian lineages. He is a Grand Master for multiple Knight Templar lineages https://www.youtube.com/@timothyhogan5494 https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B006QH94T4 https://neurobuddha.wordpress.com/ https://www.templarcollegia.org/ https://www.youtube.com/@TemplarTravelTours   To gain access to the second half of show and our Plus feed for audio and podcast please clink the link http://www.grimericaoutlawed.ca/support.   For second half of video (when applicable and audio) go to our Substack and Subscribe. https://grimericaoutlawed.substack.com/ or to our Locals  https://grimericaoutlawed.locals.com/ or Rokfin www.Rokfin.com/Grimerica Patreon https://www.patreon.com/grimericaoutlawed   Support the show directly: https://grimericacbd.com/ CBD / THC Tinctures and Gummies https://grimerica.ca/support-2/ Eh-List Podcast and site: https://eh-list.ca/ Eh-List YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheEh-List Our Adultbrain Audiobook Podcast and Website: www.adultbrain.ca Our Audiobook Youtube Channel:  https://www.youtube.com/@adultbrainaudiobookpublishing/videos Darren's book www.acanadianshame.ca Check out our next trip/conference/meetup - Contact at the Cabin www.contactatthecabin.com Other affiliated shows: www.grimerica.ca The OG Grimerica Show www.Rokfin.com/Grimerica Our channel on free speech Rokfin Join the chat / hangout with a bunch of fellow Grimericans  Https://t.me.grimerica grimerica.ca/chats  Discord     Leave a review on iTunes and/or Stitcher: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/grimerica-outlawed http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/grimerica-outlawed Sign up for our newsletter http://www.grimerica.ca/news SPAM Graham = and send him your synchronicities, feedback, strange experiences and psychedelic trip reports!! graham@grimerica.com InstaGRAM https://www.instagram.com/the_grimerica_show_podcast/  Purchase swag, with partial proceeds donated to the show www.grimerica.ca/swag Send us a postcard or letter http://www.grimerica.ca/contact/ ART - Napolean Duheme's site http://www.lostbreadcomic.com/  MUSIC Tru Northperception, Felix's Site sirfelix.bandcamp.com
