On 18th July 1914, a school cricket match was played in Holt, North Norfolk. By the end of the Great War, 11 of the 24 players who took part were dead, victims of the Great War. This is their story. We follow the story of 2 brothers who played in the game, Mark and Cuthbert. They died within weeks of each other, Mark on the Somme battlefield and Cuthbert during the Battle of Jutland. What are their stories and what do their poems and letters home tell us about them? We also discover how writing a book about them helped a teacher at the school comes to terms with the death of her daughter, and how she got to understand these lads and how their deaths affected the Headmaster of the school, George Howson.

Three teachers of Obuasi Senior High Technical School have been arrested and detained in connection with the recent disturbance involving the school's headmaster, Abdulia Zakaria

Continuing our I Love the 90s series, we move on to 1992, when Batman Returns and Wayne's World ruled the multiplex and Bill Clinton got saxy on The Arsenio Hall Show. Don and Dude drop the needle on one gritty, G funk hip hop album and one crushing heavy metal release that show the evolution of both genres, connecting both records to a world of the Dream Team dominating the Olympics, Mortal Kombat draining quarters at the arcade and Johnny Carson signing off from The Tonight Show.The AlbumsDr. Dre – The Chronic (1992)After leaving Ruthless Records and co-founding Death Row Records with Suge Knight, Dr. Dre used his solo debut to introduce G-funk, building slow, heavy grooves from Parliament-Funkadelic samples, live keyboards and Moog synthesizer lines. The album opens with the mission-statement intro "The Chronic," moves through the diss track "Fuck wit Dre Day," the cruising anthem "Nuthin' but a 'G' Thang" that introduced Snoop Doggy Dogg, and the Grammy winning "Let Me Ride," before closing on the hidden bonus cut "Bitches Ain't Shit." Shaped by the tension of the 1992 Los Angeles riots and Dre's split from Ruthless, The Chronic plays as a genre defining record that launched Snoop's stardom and set the template for West Coast hip hop.Megadeth – Countdown to Extinction (1992)Formed by Dave Mustaine after leaving Metallica, Megadeth used its fifth album, produced by Max Norman and released July 14, 1992 on Capitol Records, to trade pure thrash speed for tighter song structures and broader themes of war, addiction and environmental destruction. The record opens with the aggressive "Skin o' My Teeth," moves through the signature single "Symphony of Destruction," the internally conflicted "Sweating Bullets," and the farm crisis ballad "Foreclosure of a Dream," before closing on the ambitious, thrash leaning "Ashes in Your Mouth." Recorded in Los Angeles the same week as the Rodney King riots, Countdown to Extinction hit No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and became Megadeth's commercial breakthrough, proving technical metal could thrive alongside grunge.Diggin AlbumsFinn Wolfhard – Fire From The Hip (2026):The Stranger Things actor's second solo album, co-written and co-produced with Clay Frankel, Cadien Lake James and Colin Croom, pairs bright, hook filled indie rock guitars with introspective songwriting about growing up and changing relationships.Jeffrey Gaines – Jeffrey Gaines (1992):The Harrisburg singer songwriter's self-titled debut, produced by David Kershenbaum, introduced his soulful blend of acoustic driven rock, heartfelt ballads and expressive vocals on standout tracks like "Hero in Me" and "Headmasters of Mine."Echo & the Bunnymen – Apples for Isaac (2026):The Liverpool post punk band's first collection of new songs since 2014's Meteorites, produced by Ian McCulloch, features drumming from Blondie's Clem Burke on ten of its eleven tracks, recorded before his death in 2025.Billy Strings – So Much for Goodbyes (2026):The flatpicking bluegrass guitarist's new album, produced alongside T Bone Burnett in their first collaboration together, is dedicated to his late mother Debra Apostol, whose own artwork appears on the cover.Follow & Support Follow the show on Instagram, Facebook, Threads and Bluesky @albumnerds, and support the podcast by subscribing, rating, reviewing and sharing it with another music obsessive who still loves hearing whole albums front to back."Are you crying?

Today’s Topics: 1) Gospel – Matthew 5:13-16 – Jesus said to His disciples: “You are the salt of the earth. But if salt loses its taste, with what can it be seasoned? It is no longer good for anything but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. You are the light of the world. A city set on a mountain cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and then put it under a bushel basket; it is set on a lampstand, where it gives light to all in the house. Just so, your light must shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your heavenly Father.” Memorial of Saint Ephrem, Deacon and Doctor of the Church Saint Ephrem, pray for us! Bishop Sheen quote of the day On 31 January 1906, an earthquake occurred off the southern coast of Columbia, and the Ocean receded about a half mile from the shore at Tumaco.  Father Gerardo Larrondo “rushed to the church and took a large consecrated host and a ciborium from the tabernacle to protect it. He quickly went to the people and, raising the Blessed Sacrament, exclaimed: ‘Come, my children, let us all go to the beach, and may God have mercy on us.'”  As they watched the approaching tsunami, Father raised the Blessed Sacrament and made a large Sign of the Cross.  The approaching tsunami stopped, as if blocked by an invisible force, a miracle of the Holy Eucharist 2, 3) Mark Edward Padilla, Headmaster of the Santiago Catholic Trade School, and Mark McElrath, Executive Director, Santiago Retreat Center join Terry to talk about all of the opportunities to help young Catholic men learn trades combined with spiritual development in a two-year formation program that gives life & light to the manly soul, developing men who seek first the kingdom of God, and only then look to earthly riches and the joys of this life.

We are proud to welcome Father Scott Jabo to Episode #102 of The Rambler Podcast! Serving as Headmaster and President of Cathedral Prep and the Erie Catholic Preparatory School Systemfrom 2000–2020, Fr. Jabo played a truly transformational role in shaping the Prep and Villa experience as we know it today. His leadership helped bring Prep and Villa together as co-institutional partners in 2009, led to the founding of Mother Teresa Academy in 2018, and guided the development of the Hagerty Family Events Center through Phase 1 in 2010 and Phase 2 in 2015. He also helped establish a strong financial foundation through the system's endowment, ensuring access to Catholic education for generations to come. But outside ofthat all, Fr. Jabo says in this episode that he is the most proud of the impact Cathedral Prep & Villa Maria Academy has had on young men and women through his years here with the school.In this episode of the podcast, we take a deep dive into Fr. Jabo's leadership journey by reflecting on the early years of leading Cathedral Prep, the opportunity for the corporatemerger with Cathedral Prep & Villa Maria Academy in 2009, the vision behind the Events Center, and the lasting impact of his work across our schools. This is a powerful conversation centered on leadership, faith, and legacy by the manwho helped make it all possible!

Pain stunts can shock anyone. The real question is: how do you turn shock into something people actually want to come back for? I sit down again with Hoverfiel, the Norwegian pioneer behind Pain Solution, to talk about the hard-earned craft of pain-proof performance and why “keeping it real” is more than a slogan. We get into what happens when you refuse illusions, build shows around music cues, and design an act you can carry solo in a gig economy without watering down the material. From there, we dig into the part many sideshow and performance art fans never hear: character work. Hoverfiel explains why relying on puke-and-pass-out reactions is a dead end, and how comedy and tension release can make extreme acts accessible without making them fake. We also talk about pacing, including the deliberate choice to save blood for the end, bringing audiences along a journey where they laugh first, trust the performer, and only then choose how far they want to go. The conversation takes a sharp turn into the Fakir Academy, an unorthodox apprenticeship that starts with a referral from Child Protective Services. We unpack what it meant to mentor young people with self-harm histories, teach technical sideshow skills alongside creativity and structure, and meet self-harm with understanding instead of disgust. It's a nuanced discussion about mental health, harm reduction, and the limits of what a performer can safely carry, even with the best intentions. If you care about sideshow history, fakir tradition, body modification culture, or the ethics of performance under real risk, you'll find a lot to sit with here.

Fire looks clean from a distance. Up close, it can leave you chronically ill for life. We're joined by Håvve Fjell, known to many as the Headmaster of Pain and the driving force behind Norway's legendary Pain Solution, for a frank talk about what extreme performance really demands and what it can take from you.We start with the unromantic reality of occupational risk: lung damage from long-term fire eating and fire breathing, early accidents, and the quiet ways the body keeps score. From there, we rewind to the beginning, when pain isn't a stunt but a fascination. Hover shares how childhood injuries turn into deliberate experiments as a teenager, and why his motivation doesn't match the usual story people tell about self-harm. That thread leads straight into Modern Primitives, Fakir Musafar, body modification, altered states, and the moment a private impulse becomes a serious practice.Then we get practical about craft. A failed early debut, heckling, and a confused audience push Hover toward learning performance skills: juggling, acting, clowning, mime, and the hard work of building a stage persona. We also revisit a pre-internet body piercing scene in Norway where information is scarce, standards are improvised, and word of mouth is everything. Finally, we dig into the origins of Pain Solution itself, from backyard fire sessions to booked gigs, naming the act, documenting the work in books, and the long road from ritual performance art toward a sideshow format people can actually book.If you're into sideshow history, fakir performance, fire breathing safety, body modification culture, or performance art, this is a rare firsthand map of how the scene was built.

The Education Review Office has said schools need to get tougher on enforcing phone bans. Research found that only 50% of students are following the rules, a number it says is not good enough. Mount Albert Grammar Headmaster Patrick Drumm told Mike Hosking that the study needs to be unpacked further, as it's likely that students are using their phones outside of lessons instead of in a learning environment. He said that it's been a 'successful initiative' so far, but says it's an ongoing process to reduce numbers further. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What should schools really be teaching the next generation?  In this episode, Spencer sits down with Tomas Duckling, Headmaster of one of the most prestigious schools in the UAE, to explore the pressures shaping modern education, the role of parents in an increasingly competitive system, the impact of technology and AI on learning and why the future of education must focus on building good humans, not just high achievers.  Tomas' path into education was unexpected. After travelling the world in his early twenties, he began working at a North London school supporting refugees and immigrant communities. What started as a temporary role quickly became a calling, launching an international career that took him from Brunei to Aiglon College in Switzerland, one of the world's most expensive schools.  Now leading Dubai College, Tomas believes schools should focus on far more than exam results. His mission is to develop character, empathy, kindness, and leadership, preparing students not just for academic success but to become good humans who can make a meaningful impact on the world.    Timestamps: 00:00 – Introducing Tomas Duckling and Dubai College 02:05 – The history of Dubai College and why it's so oversubscribed 04:15 – Removing the debenture system and creating merit-based admissions 07:12 – Tomas' unconventional journey into teaching 10:03 – From London classrooms to international schools in Brunei 13:48 – Teaching at Aiglon College in Switzerland 17:10 – How global experiences shaped his philosophy on education 21:02 – Why academic results alone are not enough 24:30 – The importance of character, kindness, and empathy in schools 27:18 – The pressures parents place on modern education 31:05 – Comparing the UK, European, and UAE education systems 34:12 – The future of learning in a world shaped by AI 38:20 – Why human skills will matter more than ever 42:45 – The Edge Curriculum: teaching empathy, design, and entrepreneurship 47:30 – Encouraging students to solve real-world problems 50:15 – Bullying, kindness, and creating positive school culture 54:40 – The role of sport, extracurriculars, and resilience 58:10 – The debate around homeschooling and social development 01:02:20 – Diversity and multicultural education in Dubai 01:05:15 – The real purpose of education in the 21st century    Follow Spencer Lodge on Social Media:  https://www.instagram.com/madeindubaipodcast/?hl=en  https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61586194260076  https://www.instagram.com/spencer.lodge/?hl=en  https://www.tiktok.com/@spencer.lodge  https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencerlodge/  https://www.youtube.com/c/SpencerLodgeTV  https://www.facebook.com/spencerlodgeofficial/   Follow Tomas Duckling on Social Media:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/tomas-duckling/  https://www.instagram.com/dubaicollege/

Richard Herring became half of a decade-defining comedy act with Stewart Lee – thanks to a chance meeting in an Oxford cricket pavilion which was the genesis of a 13-year creative partnership which included the cult classic Fist of Fun and the legendary Edinburgh Fringe show ‘This Morning with Richard not Judy' Another important pairing came along in 2008 when he teamed up with the NME journalist and then 6Music presenter Andrew Collins for a new show – but not on the radio or the television – to the dismay of many of their peers they would chat for an hour or so giving away material for free on a ‘podcast'. It's a genre that Richard had helped define. From his decision to host his shows in front of paying audiences (long before podcasts were profitable!) Richard Herring's Leicester Square Theatre Podcast – of RHLSTP to those in the know recently put out its 600th episode, that's in addition to the multiple spin-offs which help contribute to over a million downloads per month. As a comedian he's been described as “One of the leading hidden masters of modern British comedy” – that's despite deciding in the early 90s that he wasn't very good at solo stand-up. In fact he describes his first attempts as “largely humiliating and unsatisfying.” A decade on from his early set-backs he toured shows like Talking Cock, Hitler Moustache, Someone Likes Yoghurt and Talking Cock: The Second Coming. In his show The Headmaster's Son he focussed on life as the son of the Headmaster – dedicated to his Dad – very much his origin story as a comedian. Like many in comedy lockdown forced all of his content online – but Richard suffered a second setback when in 2021 he was diagnosed with testicular cancer. He wrote about it in his typically dark-humoured book ‘Can I Have My Ball Back?', where he explored how his diagnosis and subsequent treatment forced him to reflect on his own mortality and masculinity.With almost 500 episodes of White Wine Question Time, and 600 episode of Richard Herring's Leicester Square Theatre Podcast I wonder if this might be the most ‘capped' interview on the internet?Cheers!

Luke is back on the podcast joining Matt and Dawn to review four more shows available this week. Beginning with A Woman of Substance, Channel 4's new take on one of their first dramas which aired in the 80s. This new adpatation seems out of place on Channel 4 but also in 2026 where it feels like it has nothing new to say. Next, ITV have a new six-part thriller starring David Morrisery as the Headmaster of a private school who finds himself under the spotlight when his wife disappears. Gone, written by Hijack's George Kay, is an odd beast. Next, its another week for another comedy from Ted Lasso and Shrinking creator Bill Lawrence. Following on from last week's Scrubs reboot, Lawrence brings us Rooster, a Sky One comedy that sees Steve Carel's unfurfilled novelist end up on his daughters' college campus when she falls on hard times.  Lastly, the strange romance thriller Vladimir from Netflix.   Finally, Matt challenges Luke and Dawn to name as many of Channel 4's Celebrity Big Brother contestants they can to win their quiz.

Susan Hassall arrived at Hamilton Boys' High School in 1979 as a 22-year-old English teacher. She stayed for 46 years. In 1999, she became the first woman in New Zealand to be appointed headmaster of a boys' state school — a role she held for exactly 25 years.In this conversation, Susan shares what she's learned about love, leadership, loss, and what it takes to raise good men. We talk about her mantra — "you can pretend to care, but you can't pretend to show up" — the Greek concept of aretē that became the school's cornerstone, why she believes vulnerability is the most important quality in a leader, and what people get wrong about teenage boys.Susan also opens up about working through breast cancer without missing a day, losing her deputy Graeme Robinson to a heart attack in her office, the death of her husband James, and why the years immediately after school are the most critical for young men.Whether you're a parent, a teacher, a coach, or just someone trying to figure out what matters most — this one's for you.⚠️ This episode contains a discussion about suicide.

We also talk about the latest trailers released this week, including Masters of the Universe and more. Then, in our TALK TOPIC of the WEEK, I will talk about the TRANSFORMER series you may not have known about, the hilariously awful English dub (not made in the U.S.) that has become a cult legend, and why fans should value the quality of English voice acting we have today.

After courageous resistance from Ben Stokes gets England close to a barely adequate 300, England's bowlers suffer at the hands of the brilliant South Australian Travis Head. Simon Hughes and Simon Mann analyse the third day of the third Test when England's Ashes hopes are slowly and almost sadistically extinguished by Australia's batsmen. Their former star bowler Jason Gillespie also explains what makes the England bowling attack for these batting friendly conditions inadequate.

Father Nathan Carr, Headmaster of The Academy and often dubbed “the Jack Sparrow of classical education,” joins Christopher Perrin to recount his unexpected path into classical Christian school leadership—and the hard-won lessons of building a flourishing school culture over two decades. Their conversation draws on James K. A. Smith's Desiring the Kingdom to argue that “liturgies” (in church and in culture) quietly train our loves and longings. Carr connects that insight to his own work, The Festive School, where he explores how a school's calendar, habits, and celebrations can become formative—not merely decorative. He also points listeners to his Student Prayer Book as a practical companion for cultivating daily, embodied prayer in the life of a classroom. From The Book of Common Prayer and the daily offices to monastic rhythms like Matins and Compline, he frames education as formation through repeated, prayerful practice. Along the way, they address objections to “rote” ritual, suggesting that repetition can become spiritually alive and deeply consoling over time. The episode closes with concrete snapshots of festivity at The Academy: Lessons & Carols, Stations of the Cross, and campus-wide celebrations of Incarnation and Resurrection. Father Nathan Carr also has a forthcoming course on ClassicalU.com that will release in the early Spring of 2026.

In this episode of Critical Magic Theory, Professor Julian Wamble revisits Albus Dumbledore through a very different lens: not as the wise, whimsical Headmaster we grew up with, but as a leader whose incomplete understanding of power shaped an entire generation of Hogwarts students. Drawing on your survey responses about whether Dumbledore is a hero, a good leader of the Order of the Phoenix, or a “good half-blood,” Julian explores the moment when Tom Riddle returns to Hogwarts — a scene that reveals how Voldemort sees Dumbledore more clearly than Dumbledore sees himself.We examine why Dumbledore claims he “cannot be trusted with power,” while failing to recognize the influence he wields as Headmaster; why Hogwarts becomes the site where children, not adults, carry the heaviest burdens of the war; and how Dumbledore's belief that teaching is a “safe” or “lesser” form of authority leads to dangerous decisions with lasting consequences. This episode challenges the myth of the powerless educator and asks: What happens when a leader refuses to believe the hype everyone else believes about him?

In the first installment of our Albus Dumbledore series, Critical Magic Theory host Professor Julian Wamble unpacks the contradictions that define Albus Dumbledore—the most beloved and baffling figure in the Harry Potter universe. Is he truly a wise protector of Hogwarts, or a master manipulator whose brilliance excuses too much? Does being “for the greater good” make him noble, or merely dangerous in more elegant ways? We also ask whether Dumbledore embodies what it means to be a “good Gryffindor,” when courage so often borders on recklessness, and whether his leadership as Headmaster reflects moral strength or moral blindness.Drawing on listener surveys, we explore Dumbledore's manipulation, his mythology, and the uneasy parallels between him and Voldemort—two men shaped by power and haunted by restraint. In tracing how Dumbledore curates his own legend while hiding his flaws, we uncover how faith, myth, and morality intertwine in the wizarding world, and what it means to believe in someone after the evidence runs out.This episode of Critical Magic Theory invites us to see Dumbledore not just as the greatest wizard of his age, but as a mirror for our own longing to trust brilliance, even when we know it can break us.

On this episode of the Anchored Podcast, Soren is joined by Semi Park, founding Headmaster of Orange County Classical Academy.

“Be perfect” (Matt. 5:48) and “anxious for nothing” (Phil 4:6). This tall order from the New Testament may put modern parents into a cold sweat. Parental perfectionism and anxiety are surely on the rise, but in his annual Headmaster's Lecture at The Heights School, Alvaro de Vicente talks us down. He shows us the compatibility and wisdom of these two Biblical encouragements by refocusing on the process of growth—moral, academic, athletic, and spiritual—over simply the apparent results.

The art of mentoring is not just for teachers and coaches, but also parents—who can never really be out of mentoring mode. In a recent Substack article, Alvaro de Vicente named five pitfalls for our attempts at mentoring young men. This week, he talks us through some of the takeaways, reminding us that mentoring is not a profound lecture but an ongoing conversation, and the goal is not to modify but to form.
