What if the hero afraid of his own power is exactly what makes it easy to fear an entire population? Matthew Fox is joined by returning guests Will Freeland and Steve Stormoen of the “Hype Is My Superpower” podcast to dig into “Spider-Man: Brand New Day,” Peter's uneasy partnership with the Punisher, and how Bruce Banner's fear of himself ends up doing quiet work in the movie's X-Men subplot.The three trace comic references straight out of “Civil War,” “Ultimate Comics,” and the original “Brand New Day” storyline, argue about whether Jean Grey finally gets to be a character instead of a plot device, and dig into a scene where MJ takes back the agency Peter tried to take from her. Lastly, they get into whether we should evaluate this movie on its own or as the last MCU release before “Avengers: Doomsday.”Full show notes and resourcesConnect with Will Freeland: Twitch · Instagram**************************************************************************This episode is a production of Superhero Ethics, an Ethical Panda podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.

The Heroes and Great Stories of the Bible – New Testament (Part 22)Zechariah & Elizabeth: Faithful While WaitingWhat do you do when you've prayed, believed, and waited... yet nothing seems to change?In this encouraging message, we explore the remarkable story of Zechariah and Elizabeth, two faithful servants of God who continued to trust Him through years of unanswered prayers and apparent silence. Their story reminds us that God's delays are never His denial. Even when we cannot see Him working, He is preparing His perfect plan.Discover how God honors faithfulness long before the miracle arrives, why His timing is always better than our own, and how He remains faithful even when we struggle with doubt. Learn how waiting seasons can strengthen your faith, prepare you for God's purpose, and become a testimony that points others to Jesus Christ.In this message, you'll discover: Why faithfulness is success in God's eyes. How God's delays are often seasons of divine alignment. Why God can correct our doubts without canceling His promises. How your testimony can lead others to faith in Jesus. Practical ways to replace fear with Scripture, doubt with God's promises, and discouragement with worship. No matter how long you've been waiting, God has not forgotten you. His promises are still true, His timing is still perfect, and His goodness will be revealed at the appointed time. Don't give up, your waiting season may be God's preparation for something greater than you can imagine.Key Scriptures: Psalm 27:13–14 Luke 1:5–79 If this message encouraged your faith, be sure to subscribe, share this episode with someone who is waiting on God's promises, and join us each week as we discover timeless truths through the heroes and great stories of the New Testament.Soul Harvest Worship CenterHosting His Presence.

“VAN HEFLIN: CLASSIC CINEMA STAR OF THE MONTH” - 8/03/2026 (151) Some actors become legends because of their larger-than-life personalities. Others earn that status simply because they're so believable that you forget they're acting at all. VAN HEFLIN belonged firmly in the second category. An Academy Award winner and one of the most respected performers of Hollywood's Golden Age, Heflin built an extraordinary career playing ordinary people with uncommon depth, honesty, and humanity. Whether starring in "The Strange Love of Martha Ivers," "Act of Violence," "Shane," "3:10 to Yuma," or dozens of other classics, he brought an authenticity that made every performance memorable. Join us on From Beneath the Hollywood Sign as we explore the life and remarkable career of this often-overlooked Hollywood giant, examining the films, the man behind them, and why Van Heflin remains one of the finest—and most underrated—actors ever to grace the screen.

This week we're sharing one of the most meaningful nights of our lives. As we celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary, we got a surprise when we walked into a room filled with the people God has used to help write our story. Some were there on our wedding day. Others came into our lives after Heather's affair fifteen years ago. All of them have played a part in reminding us that redemption was never something we were meant to walk through alone. During the evening, we shared a comment someone recently left on our YouTube channel: “Not all heroes wear capes.” That simple sentence perfectly captured how we feel about the people in that room. They prayed for us. They challenged us. They encouraged us. They stayed when our marriage was messy. They became the hands and feet of Jesus during one of the hardest seasons of our lives. Others in the room only know us as a redeemed couple, but they encourage us and our ministry daily. A few of them were even there because we have journeyed with them through their own marriage redemption story. In this episode, we reflect on that unforgettable night, the incredible gift of community, and why every couple needs people who are willing to stand with them through both the celebrations and the struggles. Looking around that room, we couldn't help but realize that our anniversary wasn't just a celebration of thirty years of marriage. It was a celebration of God's faithfulness—and of the heroes He placed along the way. Visit our website Watch on YouTube

Dossy goin out in chief off an asterisk win. Bergman first tonne of the year. Dossy loving Bowey in classic but getting murdered at the same time in draft. Beyond flukey. Sim got no right. The fact I didn’t use a waiver on Herbert too coz I wanted to save my priority for the next week of finals. I reckon I had a higher priority than sim too. We had four 1,500 scores for the entire season (Daddsy 2, Ant 1, Dossy 1). My finals opponents: 1598, 1502. Collusion. You’re right. Simmy gonna drop a 1200 in the prelim while dossy getting 1500 eliminated. Asterisk confirmed. What a waste. Follow SuperCoach AFL on Instagram. Follow SuperCoach AFL on TikTok.

As the Rocky movies demonstrate, hero myths can create cults. Joe talks about the homage paid to the Rocky statue on the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art and relates it to the cult that arose from the tale of Ulysses' Odyssey. There are many examples of cult formation around fascinating narratives; Joe and Jon touch on Star Wars, The Matrix, the Arthurian legends, The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail, as well as The Da Vinci Code, showing how stories easily become doctrines believed by many.

What happens when a memoir promises a reckoning but delivers armor instead?In this Babes in Bookland bonus episode, I'm joined by my friend Lizzie to dig into Hayden Panettiere's memoir, This Is Me: A Reckoning. Lizzie listened to the audiobook first, and warned me it was painful, so I braced for a gutting, Christina Applegate style read, and came out with a completely different experience of the same book. That gap between the two of us became the real story of this episode.Hayden rose to fame before she was old enough to understand what fame meant, from Remember the Titans to Heroes to two Golden Globe nominated seasons of Nashville, all while quietly carrying the pressure of being Hollywood's It Girl. Her memoir promises postpartum depression, addiction, domestic abuse, and loss, and we both went in rooting for her. What we found instead was a book that kept circling its own most painful moments without ever landing on them, a codependent relationship with her mother that never gets fully named, and a custody decision that's never quite explained. We talk through what worked, why the cover and author photo tell you almost everything you need to know before you even open the book, and why they both think the deeper, more vulnerable version of this memoir is still a few years away.Listen to the full episode to hear us work through it, and let us know: would you recommend this one, or wait for the sequel?

Beyond The Box Art® — Episode 34Scale Model Podcast — Episode 162IPMS UK & USA Presidents - TOGETHERHiya Benchmates — Episode 34 has landed, and this is one we've genuinely been looking forward to for a very long time.For only the second time, Beyond The Box Art® joins forces with our great friends at The Scale Model Podcast for another special transatlantic collaboration, bringing together voices from both sides of the Atlantic for what has become a truly landmark episode.This time, however, we're making a little bit of history...Feature Discussion — The First Public IPMS Presidents Round TableFor the first time ever, the Presidents of IPMS UK, IPMS USA, and IPMS Canada come together publicly for one conversation.Joining Brownie, Balders, Dan & Shane are Terry Miesle and Geoff Heyland, plus:Ian Middleton — President, IPMS UK• John Noack — President, IPMS USATogether they discuss the future of IPMS, attracting new generations of modellers, supporting clubs and shows, the challenges facing modelling organisations around the world, and why the hobby remains as relevant today as ever.Rather than a formal interview, this is a genuine round-table discussion between friends who all share the same goal — ensuring scale modelling continues to thrive for many years to come.There are thoughtful discussions, plenty of laughs, a healthy amount of good-natured banter, and more than a few moments where international diplomacy is tested over plastic kits.Stash Inflation ReportThe team's wallets once again take a considerable battering as they round up the latest kit announcements, aftermarket releases and modelling temptations from around the world.Aircraft, armour, naval subjects, Gunpla and everything in between all come under the spotlight, with plenty of opportunities to add "just one more kit" to the stash.As always, expect a few questionable purchasing decisions, several enabling comments, and at least one declaration that "I definitely don't need another one..."(We all know how that ends.)This episode is more than simply another podcast.It's a celebration of what can happen when modelling communities work together rather than apart, proving that while our accents, club badges and favourite subjects may differ, we're all united by exactly the same passion for scale modelling.We sincerely hope this becomes the first of many annual conversations bringing together IPMS organisations from around the world.So grab a brew, pull up a chair at the bench, and join us for a truly international conversation celebrating our hobby.Beyond The Box Art® Episode 34 & The Scale Model Podcast Episode 162 starts NOW!Brownie & the Beyond The Box Art® TeamModels.

Who believed in you before you could believe in yourself? In this Deep Dive, documentary filmmaker Christian Taylor makes a quiet case that we rarely overcome self-doubt on our own. Almost no one finishes anything hard alone. Someone has to see it in you first. This is a reflection on the power of belief, on the kind of encouragement that shows up right when you are ready to quit, and on how a few honest words can help a person keep going and change the whole outcome of a life.This Deep Dive grows out of Documentary First Episode 283 with Joe Amodei, the veteran film distributor who, after forty-five years of releasing other people's films, finally directed his own: Cold War in Philly. The seed is a story Joe told about his friend Morgan Spurlock, who looked at him and said, "Yes, you are," when Joe insisted he was not a director. Morgan died before filming began. Joe made the film anyway.From there, Christian follows the same pattern through her own life and through stories you already know: the producer Sandy Gordon, who told her she could tell her own story; C.S. Lewis's belief that helped J.R.R. Tolkien finish The Lord of the Rings; Emmy Werner's forty-year Kauai study on the power of one caring adult; Fred Shero and the 1976 Philadelphia Flyers; the BELIEVE sign in Ted Lasso; and the Christmas her young son Hunter talked her out of quitting The Girl Who Wore Freedom. The throughline: belief usually arrives from outside before it grows from within, it works by being repeated at the moment you want to give up, and it is something you can hand another person for the price of a sentence.In this episode, Christian explores:Why we so often cannot see in ourselves what other people can see plainlyThe difference between belief that gets you to the starting line and belief that gets you to the finishWhy encouragement has to be repeated, not announced onceHow Morgan Spurlock's belief outlived him and finished Joe Amodei's first filmWhat C.S. Lewis's encouragement had to do with Tolkien finishing The Lord of the RingsThe single factor that most helped at-risk children thrive in the forty-year Kauai studyWhat the 1976 Flyers and the BELIEVE sign in Ted Lasso have in commonThe Christmas her son Hunter believed in her when she was ready to walk away from her filmThe strange math of belief: nearly free to give, and one of the most powerful things we doTwo things to do this week: remember who believed in you, and become that person for someone elseCHAPTERS0:00 Before You Believe in Yourself2:49 Someone Has to See It First5:37 Encouragement When You Want to Quit8:34 Belief That Outlives Us11:14 How to Believe in OthersFREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONSWhy is it important to have someone believe in you?Because most of us cannot see our own potential clearly. We are too close to our own doubts. Belief from a credible person on the outside fills that gap and raises both effort and persistence, especially at the moment someone is ready to quit. Research on self-efficacy and on childhood resilience points the same way: one steady person who believes in you can change what you attempt and what you actually finish.How do you keep going when you want to quit a creative project?You borrow belief until you can make your own. Nearly everyone who finishes a hard project hits a wall where they are sure it is over. What carries people through is usually not one pep talk but someone who reminds them, again and again, that they can do it. Christian Taylor finished her documentary after her young son repeated his belief in her until she could go back to work.How do you believe in yourself when no one else does?You usually do not have to do it entirely alone. The honest move this episode offers is to remember that someone has already believed in you, even if you have forgotten them, and to borrow that belief until it becomes your own. Recall what they saw in you. And if you feel truly without support right now, become the encourager you needed: the same words that steady other people can steady you when you say them to yourself.Can one person really change your life?Yes. In Emmy Werner's forty-year Kauai study of nearly 700 children, about a third of the high-risk kids grew into capable, caring adults, and the strongest protective factor was having at least one steady adult who believed in them. One was enough. The same pattern shows up in creative work, where a single believer often decides whether a project is abandoned or finished.What does it mean that belief can outlive the believer?It means the encouragement someone gives you keeps working even after they are gone. Morgan Spurlock told Joe Amodei he could direct, then died before filming started, and Joe finished the film anyway. Fred Shero's line to the Flyers, "Win today and we'll walk together forever," names the same truth: the people who believe in us walk with us long after the moment itself has passed.ABOUT THE FILMS AND WORKS IN THIS EPISODECold War in Philly, directed by Joe Amodei (Virgil Films): the story of the night in 1976 the Philadelphia Flyers beat the Soviet Red Army. https://coldwarinphilly.comThe Girl Who Wore Freedom, directed by Christian Taylor: the documentary referenced throughout this episode.Also referenced: La La Land (2016, written and directed by Damien Chazelle); Man of La Mancha; Ted Lasso (Apple TV+); The Lord of the Rings and the friendship of J.R.R.

La Antártida es el último gran territorio inexplorado de la Tierra. Un continente inmenso, extremo y fascinante, donde el heroísmo no se mide en batallas, sino en la capacidad de desafiar el frío, el aislamiento y lo desconocido.En este episodio de Laberinto Argentino, recorremos una de las gestas menos conocidas de nuestra historia: la Operación 90, la expedición que en 1965 llevó por primera vez a la Argentina al Polo Sur por vía terrestre, bajo el liderazgo del general Jorge Edgar Leal.Junto al biólogo marino y especialista antártico Rodolfo Werner, exploramos la historia de la presencia argentina en la Antártida, el legado de aquellos pioneros, el Tratado Antártico, la cooperación científica internacional y los desafíos que hoy enfrenta el continente frente al cambio climático.Una conversación sobre exploradores, ciencia, soberanía, conservación y una pregunta que sigue vigente: ¿qué significa proteger el único continente dedicado a la paz y al conocimiento?

Whoa, Shuhei! We’ve got a lot to talk about. Stack it up and feel the power of a superior sextet! Join Tricky, Matt, Alex, Yield, Darrell and Joe as they discuss, among other things, Buckshot Roulette, Dinoblade, Mercenaries 2: World in Flames, and Palworld. What’s more, we delve into the most recent PlayStation Network outage, and we ponder Xbox CEO Asha Sharma’s admission that Game Pass has not “provided meaningful growth” (for Microsoft). After what seemed like a rather rosy start for Sharma, she seems to be cleaning up quite the mess. Who wants all that stress? Former Xbox executives Phil Spencer and Sarah Bond absorbed game companies like Pac-Man — or Ms. Pac-Man — devoured pellets and adopted a multiplatform publishing strategy. Sharma cited multiplatform sales as failing to meet internal expectations. With rumors swirling that Microsoft wants to spin off its Xbox gaming division, we wonder how Sharma can turn this around the Xbox brand. And if you think that’s all, then you’ve got another thing coming! As usual, the news is full of surprises. We hit the high notes, and we hit the low notes, but we’ll always bring the banter. What are you waiting for? Dive in! As always, the opinions fly fast and heavy! Look out for this super-sized show, as the seemingly smallest conversation veers off into a multiverse of chit-chat. Sounds cool, huh? That’s the fancy way of saying “derailment.” And there’s plenty of that to go around! Let’s dance, Heroes of the XMB!

In this episode of Business Brain, you’ll learn why the smartest marketing move is to get out of your own spotlight and put your customers there instead. Shannon and Dave break down how making your clients the heroes of your story—showing what they built, how they succeeded, how their lives changed—beats any “me, me, me” pitch every time. You’ll hear why the hero section of your website should feature your customers, not your team, and why saying something genuinely nice about your competition costs nothing while buying you trust, clarity on your own differentiator, and an escape from the race-to-the-bottom trap of competing on price. Remember: you’re a monopoly of one, and your only real competitor is yourself. Then things get delightfully weird when Dave floats a “urinal inspiration” business idea: a Tinder competitor with built-in reviews. You’ll follow the whole workshop live—star ratings, retaliatory-review pitfalls borrowed from Airbnb and eBay, and the discovery that apps like Skip, Pear, and Oyster already exist. It’s part cautionary Black Mirror tale, part real market lesson in knowing exactly what your product is for. Apply the customers-as-heroes blueprint, keep your mindset abundant, and you’ll be well on your way to living the Charmed Life your business was meant to give you. 00:00:00 Business Brain – The Entrepreneurs' Podcast #774 for Wednesday, July 29, 2026 July 29th: National Chicken Wing Day 00:01:07 Make Your Customers Heroes It costs nothing to help lift and highlight your customers *or* your competitors A compliment costs nothing, and often buys you a lot Abundance vs. Scarcity mindsets 00:9:25 SPONSOR: Shopify: Own your customer relationships.

The New York Knicks finally did it — ending a 53-year championship drought — and Hoopsology sat down with New York Post Sports anchor and "New York's Got Game" host Dexter Henry to capture what this moment truly means for the city and its fans. In this episode, Dexter takes us inside the emotional whirlwind of the night the Knicks clinched the title, sharing a deeply personal story about thinking of his late parents and the memories tied to a lifetime of Knicks fandom. He and hosts Justin Goodrum and Alan Munzer dig into why the Knicks feel different from every other New York sports team, why this fanbase is uniquely tied to the identity of the city, and how the drought made this championship hit even harder for longtime fans. The conversation goes beyond the basketball to explore the socioeconomics of sports fandom — from insane finals ticket prices (one fan turned down nearly $20,000 to keep his seats) to the growing gap between die-hard fans and the corporate crowd now filling arenas. Dexter also shares an unforgettable story from a Pistons game in Detroit that reframed how he thinks about access to live sports. Finally, Dexter gives a firsthand account of the historic championship parade — the first in Knicks franchise history — describing the electric energy of nearly three million fans packed into the Canyon of Heroes, Knicks legends riding through the streets, and a city that came to a complete standstill in celebration. This is a must-watch for any Knicks fan, longtime NBA follower, or anyone who's ever understood what it means to wait a lifetime for a championship.
When the media talks about Judea and Samaria, the headlines almost always focus on "settler violence." But what if they're ignoring the far bigger story?In this Pulse of Israel video, Avi Abelow explains why the hilltop youth are among the unsung heroes protecting Israel's future, the Jewish people and the frontline for the whole freedom-loving world against jihad. 16, 17, 18 year old, and young families who put their lives on the line to be shepards and hold on to the land of Israel, instead of trying to get famous on TikTok? What an unbelievable generation of youth.Following a devastating weekend of terror arson attacks that destroyed homes in Chavat Gilad and targeted Jewish communities across Judea and Samaria, together with ongoing rock attacks, shootings, livestock theft, and illegal construction surrounding Jewish communities, Avi asks a simple question: Why does the media spend so much time demonizing the young Jews living on Israel's front lines instead of highlighting the daily terrorism they face?These young pioneers are not chasing comfort or social media fame. They are choosing to build farms, raise sheep, establish communities, and maintain a Jewish presence in strategic areas that many believe help prevent illegal encroachment and strengthen security for nearby communities. While not every action taken by every individual should be beyond criticism, Avi argues that their overall contribution to Israel's security and Zionist mission deserves far greater recognition than it receives.The video also examines the broader debate over deterrence, media narratives, security policy after October 7, and why many Israelis believe Judea and Samaria remain one of the most critical fronts in Israel's struggle against jihadist terrorism.Watch, share your thoughts, and decide for yourself whether the hilltop youth deserve condemnation, or gratitude.

Conflict and complication at the edge of Eschatonica! In the Creed of Oracles' fortress courtyard, Antistrophe, Nicky, and Jonathan find out just how far the protocols of war go. And for those on the other side of the vast castle, progress will come only with mastery of another world's language and ritual… This week on Perpetua: Escape the Rumbling Castle! 05 Perpetua Guide [In Progress v.06] Spoiler-free Ten Hint Puzzle Guide This new section is inspired by the community addendum that xXzelgadyskXx did for the Alteros masquerade puzzle. As always, I want to try to preserve some sense of mystery for people using this guide, so I'll give a series of ten progressively more direct hints, but won't ever give the direct solution. Springsong Mural Puzzle The large mural depicting Sprinsong's legendary Heroes of the Spark is more than meets the eye. Just be careful, because if you make too many wrong moves, the ostrich-like automatons will activate and defend the secrets here! Hint 1 There's more to the mural than meets the eye. Look closely at the symbols AND the middle… Hint 2 Some of the floor tiles in this room look different than the others. Hint 3 Remember how you dealt with the flowers in the previous room? 'Springsong' is more than just a name. Hint 4 Springsong and Perpetua have different, but corresponding elements. You have to map them one to one if you want to crack this puzzle. Don't look at the next clue if you want to figure this one out yourself! Hint 5 Symbol Springsong Element Perpetua Element 3 Curved Sideways S's Breeze Air Downward Zigzags Spark Bolt Crescent Night Dark Triangle Mountain Earth Open Square Hearth Fire Teardrop Spring Ice Open Circle Sun Light Quatrefoil (Clover) Nature Poison Hint 6 In the story hidden in the Flower Room, you can learn that while the evil sorcerer of Springsong used all the elements (except Spark/Bolt) to harm the world, he took complete control of Spring (Ice), Night (Dark), and Nature (Poison). Hint 7 You'll have to use the magic of the remaining elements (Air, Bolt, Earth, Fire, Light) to complete this puzzle. Remember that in Springsong, you must perform in order to use magic! Hint 8 Don't just look at the Mural, use the "Study" action on the heroes depicted there. What can you learn from their names? Hint 9 By combining the elements together you can create different letter runes. Pay attention to the combinatory effect! By the way, the letter Z doesn't seem to exist in Springsong. Hint 10 The heroes of Springsong must be very naive if this is the password to their secret vault...
