WOLF WARRIOR: THE BEAST HEART SERIES BOOK #2 In a world where kingdoms teeter on the brink of ruin, and beasts are bound by cruel masters, one girl rises from exile to challenge fate itself.Clara, a human with the power of theWild Sheperdess, has endured betrayal, loss, and unimaginable pain. From the frozen depths of the Selkie Oceans to the scorched battlefields of fire dragons and hellhounds, she has faced monsters both literal and human. With her loyal companions she discovers a power that could save or shatter the kingdoms she holds dear.But as Duke Averance and his daughter Maroona tighten their grip on the realms, Clara must navigate treachery, uncover hidden prophecies, and unite disparate races before darkness consumes them all. Along the way, friendships will be tested, loyalties questioned, and hearts ignited in a struggle that will define the future of humans, beasts, and magic alike.Will Clara save her friends and the selkies, or will human corruption destroy her? The storm is coming, and only the brave will survive. TOPICS OF CONVERSATION What Wolf Warrior is about: Clara heads into the Selkie clan's oceans, lands in a hostage situation, and gets ordered by Queen Sedna to take on the Leviathans, giant sea monsters. The magic system: Beast Hearts and thread sight, Clara's empathy-based power to see the life threads running through everything, where bright colors mean life and duller ones turn horrifying. The world of Heartstrings: its distrustful clans, from Selkies and Harpies to Reptilia and Minotaurs, plus gods each locked to a single element. Clara's found family: hummingbird harpy Twitch, a sand dwarf healer, and a reptilia scout, and what she finds with them that her village never gave her.

Видовдан је више од историје; он је време за нове почетке.En: Anja was right. Vidovdan is more than history; it is a time for new beginnings.Sr: Милош је загрлио своју ћерку, потом Ивана, и у том загрљају био је завршен дугогодишњи сукоб.En: Miloš embraced his daughter, then Ivan, and in that embrace, a long-standing conflict was resolved.Sr: Београд је остао у вечерњем мирису, са солитером који се уздизао као светионик наду.En: Beograd remained in the evening's scent, with the skyscraper standing tall like a beacon of hope.Sr: Породица је остала уједињена, са новонађеним разумевањем и љубављу, док се Академски сат Дарушка огласио, означавајући крај једног дана и почетак нечег новог.En: The family stayed united, with newfound understanding and love, as the Akademski sat Daruška sounded, marking the end of one day and the start of something new.

That Love Podcast presents: HELL NAH TO EASTER — Episode 4: "François, Fiancées, and Absolute Chaos" An audio romantic comedy series from That Love Podcast. Logline: A French ex with a beret, a secret, and the worst timing in Europe crashes our narrator's almost-romance with Gerald — sending her on a wild mission involving a struggling actress, a flooded farm, and one very shocked Catholic family. Episode Summary: François is not our narrator's boyfriend — he was, briefly, in a whirlwind that involved his parents' kitchen table, a traumatised teenage sister, and a hush-money car purchase — but that was then. Now he's back, dramatically, with flowers, and Gerald is watching the whole thing unfold with quiet devastation. As Gerald slips away with a coffee shop invitation and a clock ticking, our narrator untangles the real reason François has flown to Ireland: he needs her help escaping an arranged reunion with a porcelain doll enthusiast. His plan is wild. Her counter-plan is wilder. Enter Marny McFly — actress, farmer's daughter, and the woman who might just save everyone. But it's the secret François finally shares that changes everything.

Hell Nah To Easter — Episode 3: The Fake Boyfriend, The Real Feelings An audio romantic comedy series from That Love Podcast. Logline: Gerald is back, he's gorgeous, and he's asking all the right questions — which is exactly why our narrator invents a fictional boyfriend with cheese-grating abs and immediately regrets every single word. Episode Summary: With Shane and her mother conveniently absent, our narrator and Gerald sit down for what should be a simple cup of tea — and instead stumble into one of the most emotionally loaded conversations of their lives. Gerald reveals the heartbreaking reason he disappeared two years ago, and our narrator, terrified of her own feelings, does what she does best: she panics and lies. She tells him she's seeing someone named David — twenty-three, spectacular abs, total fantasy. Gerald's face falls. But when he starts heading for the door, she cracks — and Gerald reveals he already knew she was lying. The chemistry is undeniable, the honesty is terrifying, and just as things finally start to feel real, someone knocks at the door.

Hell Nah To Easter — Episode 2: "News About Gerald" An audio romantic comedy series from That Love Podcast. Logline: Three words from her mother — "news about Gerald" — are enough to send our narrator sprinting back to Ireland, getting permanently banned from Ryanair, and walking straight into the most chaotic homecoming of her life. Episode Summary: Our narrator is living her best life in Paris, pretending to be a woman named Colette, when her mother's text destroys her peace in under ten seconds. What follows is a frantic race home that includes one terrorised Ryanair flight attendant, a cab driver with the worst timing in Ireland, and a living room that looks like the set of a UFC fight. Her long-absent father has arrived — designer suit, pregnant girlfriend, and a hidden agenda involving the FBI — and Shane is not happy about it. Amid the chaos, our narrator plays detective, uncovers her father's shocking financial crimes, and delivers a career-ending TED Talk to his unsuspecting fiancée. And just when things couldn't get more dramatic, Gerald walks back through the door.

HELL NAH TO EASTER — Episode 1: The Backstory Nobody Asked For An audio romantic comedy series from That Love Podcast. Logline: A sharp-tongued only child with a deadbeat NBA father, a born-again Irish mother, and a lifelong habit of fleeing the country every Easter finally meets the man who might make her stop running — but first, she has to survive dinner. Episode Summary: Hell Nah to Easter opens with Bur Kell, a woman who has perfected the art of disappearing to Paris every Easter with a fake beret and a real wine habit. Raised between two worlds — an Irish village with twelve people and forty-seven sheep, and the shadow of a famous, absent father — Bur's life has never been short on chaos. When her mother marries Shane, a gentle giant of a farmer with a complicated relationship with rival football fans, Bur finds herself pulled reluctantly into Sunday Mass, small-town life, and something unexpected: a blind date on Easter Sunday. The man's name is Gerald. He's a carpenter. He's charming. And by the end of the night, Bur is dangerously close to feeling something real — right before he vanishes without a trace.

This week, celebrated singer/songwriter & hometown humorist Antsy McClain with world renowned harp-guitarist Muriel Anderson recorded live at the Ozark Folk Center State Park. Also, interviews with Antsy & Muriel. Antsy McClain brings his unique blend of music and “humor with heart” to the stage, combining his original songs with a hilarious slide show, including Antsy's own life observations, social commentary and imaginary sponsors from his home town trailer park of Pine View Heights. As a master storyteller with the likes of PBS, NPR and TEDTalks under his belt, Antsy includes humorous and serious songs in his shows. Songs such as “One Less Trailer Here in Pine View Heights,” My Baby Whistles When She Walks,” and “The Junk Drawer of Your Heart,” are keenly humorous observations about love and loss, while his more serious songs, like “Field Trip,” “I'm Everyone,” or “Falling in Love in America,” are more akin to personal journal entries written in the act of living. It's this tightrope walk between humor and heart that makes Antsy McClain a true original. - http://unhitched.com/antsys-bio/ One of the world's foremost fingerstyle guitarists and harp-guitarists, Muriel Anderson is the first woman to have won the National Fingerstyle Guitar Championship. Her CD “Nightlight Daylight” was chosen as one of the top 10 CDs of the decade by Guitar Player Magazine her “Heartstrings” recording accompanied the astronauts on the space shuttle Discovery. She has performed/recorded with Chet Atkins, Les Paul, Victor Wooten and the Nashville Chamber Orchestra. Her obvious joy of music, humor and her facility across the genres of folk, classical, jazz, bluegrass and international music is revered by guitarists worldwide. An engaging performer, Muriel's unique approach to the instrument virtually transforms the guitar into a lyrical choir, then a marching band, then a Japanese koto, then a Bluegrass band, one minute launching into a Beatles' tune and the next, a Rodrigo concerto. Her video “Why Worry” has garnered a total of over 8 million views. Muriel is host of the renowned Muriel Anderson's ALL STAR GUITAR NIGHT® and founder of the MUSIC FOR LIFE ALLIANCE charity. - http://murielanderson.com/press/bio/ In this week's “From the Vault” segment, musician, educator, and country music legacy Mark Jones offers an archival recording of Ozark originals Robert & Mary Gillihan performing the traditional song “Banks of the Ohio,” from the Ozark Folk Center State Park archives. Author, folklorist, and songwriter Charley Sandage presents an historical portrait of the people, events, and indomitable spirit of Ozark culture that resulted in the creation of the Ozark Folk Center State Park and its enduring legacy of music and craft. This episode brings us a portrait of the White River Line railroad of the Ozarks, featuring interviews with George Lankford, professor emeritus at Lyon College in Batesville.

Hour 4

Send us a textEver felt the tug to rewrite your story? We sit down with writer–director Kendra Louka to trace how a biochem track, long drives past Virginia farmland, and a move to a slower English village evolved into a filmmaking voice shaped by character, community, and curiosity. Kendra opens up about giving herself permission to be imperfect, how a Facebook call for a 10-minute play cracked the door to theater, and why the right collaborators can turn a scary idea into a finished short that resonates.We go deep on three films. Frizzy Friends uses a salon and a 48-hour challenge constraint to examine friendship drift and what still holds when life changes. No Grace brings a haunted listing to life with twisty psychology and an unreliable aura that keeps you guessing about memory and myth. Heart Strings drops dialogue entirely, letting a banjo, a dancer, and the ocean's rhythm speak to the courage of returning after being ignored. Across these stories, Kendra favors intimate stakes, clear arcs, and visuals that make room for the audience to interpret without feeling lost.We also zoom out to the creative ecosystem: festival circuits, the push–pull of streaming versus theaters, and the real cost of chasing reach while protecting the joy of making. We compare filmmaking's iterative notes with stand-up's brutal honesty—no cutting, no laugh tracks, just timing, breath, and crowd chemistry under the lights. Along the way we swap favorite character-driven films, talk AI anxiety and artistic purpose, and land on a simple metric for success: did the work create connection? If you're building your voice or looking for a reason to start, this conversation feels like a green light.Enjoy the episode?

Welcome to “When Words Fail, Music Speaks” – the podcast that harnesses the healing power of song to combat depression, anxiety, and everyday heartbreak.In today's episode we sit down with the multitalented Mark Firehammer—author of the genre‑blending novel The Echo and The Voice, creator of the wellness system Feelness, and a seasoned songwriter whose career spans from Florida coffee‑houses in the ‘90s to AI‑driven studios today.Mark shares the wild road‑trip story of his early touring days, the unexpected love affair he's had with the legendary Cronut, and the pivotal moment when he realized his next album would have to be built without a band. We dive deep into his groundbreaking Artist‑Imagined series, a quartet of AI‑crafted albums—Heartlands (country), Heartthrob (dance), Heartstrings (alternative) and Heartbeats (rock)—and explore how he trains machines to sing in the voices of imagined artists while preserving his own lived experiences.Along the way, we touch on:The rise and challenges of independent musicians in the streaming eraThe moral and creative debates surrounding AI‑generated music and Spotify's new disclosure rulesHow Mark's nonprofit aims to turn music, theater, film, and visual art into a collaborative network centered on human connectionFavorite childhood influences—from Cat Stevens and James Taylor to the awe‑inspiring voice of Freddie Mercury—and the songs that still move him to tearsWhether you're a songwriter stuck in a creative rut, a fan of cutting‑edge tech, or simply someone looking for a musical pick‑me‑up, this conversation offers a blend of nostalgia, practical insight, and forward‑looking optimism. Grab your headphones, cue up a fresh track, and let Mark's story remind you that when words fall short, music always finds a way to speak.
