This week on Real Horrorshow, we're heading back to high school theatre with a review of The Gallows (2015), a found-footage supernatural horror film from Blumhouse. Set twenty years after a fatal onstage accident during a small-town school play, the film follows a group of students who attempt to resurrect the cursed production in a misguided act of remembrance—with terrifying consequences. Written and directed by Chris Lofing and Travis Cluff and starring Reese Mishler, Pfeifer Brown, Ryan Shoos, and Cassidy Gifford, The Gallows taps into the uniquely nerve-wracking world of school auditoriums, stage lights, and unfinished business. Does it earn its scares, or should some shows stay closed forever? Let's break it down.

Vision Sunday Higher Ground | Pastor Mel | Everyday Chrurch by Everyday Church

Joe Otway has built one of the most exciting restaurant groups in the country, and in this episode he tells the full story, properly. From Brighton to Manchester by way of Cape Town, New York, San Francisco and Copenhagen, Joe charts the long, obsessive road that led to Higher Ground, Bar Shrimp and Flawd. We meet him fresh off national recognition and immediately get into what really matters: not lists, not PR, but full dining rooms and food that actually moves people.At the heart of the conversation is Higher Ground's farm-led philosophy. Joe explains how Cinderwood Market Garden shapes everything, from baby cabbages grilled hours after picking to a cheddar tart that's never left the menu. He talks candidly about putting offal ragu on the menu, expecting guests to run a mile, and instead watching the North embrace it. It's serious cooking without the theatre, light-hearted on the surface but absolutely ruthless underneath.The origin story is wild. Joe and his partners meet at Dan Barber's Blue Hill at Stone Barns, get snowed in during a historic freeze, and decide they are going to build something together. What follows is an education in chaos and intuition: farm chores, goose slaughter, no written menus, thirty-five dish services changing daily. He then stages at Benu just before it wins its third star, learns brutal discipline in an Indian kitchen back in Brighton, and eventually lands in Copenhagen at Relæ, where the four-day week model reshapes how he thinks about leadership and life in restaurants.Along the way there are smashed windows in Copenhagen, racist guests thrown out in Cape Town, bike thieves, nightmare services, and a brutally honest take on chasing accolades in modern hospitality. We finish with Joe's ultimate three-course meal, from cockles on Brighton beach to chicken biryani and rhubarb and custard, and a glimpse at what might come next: a Manchester deli and farm shop to rival anything in London. It's funny, sharp and properly revealing, and if you care about where British food is heading, this is one you need to hear.Pre Order Ben's Incredible Book - All You Can Eat - By Clicking Here - https://www.amazon.co.uk/All-You-Can-Eat-British/dp/1805221523 Hosted on Acast.

This episode was recorded prior to the incident in Minnesota involving the murder of Alex Pretti by federal agents. It was scheduled to go live the day after that event; however, we decided to hold the release, as it felt wrong to carry on as usual when so much continues to go wrong in our country. Episodes will be back on schedule shortly. Thank you all for understanding, and I hope we're able to provide some levity during these difficult times. Fuck ICE.

As the rule of law in the United States comes under strain, many companies have chosen silence. In this episode, Mike Hower sits down with business ethicist and Higher Ground author Alison Taylor to examine what corporate courage actually looks like when legal norms, civil rights, and community safety are being tested. Together, they explore why companies retreat in moments of crisis, the limits of compliance-driven ethics, and the role sustainability and communications leaders can play when speaking up carries real risk. This is a candid conversation about silence, responsibility, and whether business is willing — or able — to stand for the rule of law when it matters most.Connect with Alison Taylor on LinkedIn.Order Alison's book, Higher Ground.Read the American Sustainable Business Network's statement calling for companies to defend the rule of law in America.Register for Sustainability Professionals Against Silence  Pre-order Sustainability Storytelling — Mike's book on crafting compelling, credible, and compliant sustainability narratives (Kogan Page, May 2026)Follow Mike on LinkedInSubscribe to The Sustainability Story on SubstackGot a guest or topic idea?

Lee Magorrian had never been on a horse's back when he got a stablehand's job with Joe Byrne in his native County Meath in 2009. He continued to work on the ground when he later transferred to legendary horsewoman Joanna Morgan. Lee's life took an unexpected twist when he was encouraged by a friend to visit NZ where he made the snap decision to become an apprentice jockey. One hundred winners later, young Magorrian won a much sought after scholarship which springboarded him into a trip to Australia and a stint with premier trainer Chris Waller. The much travelled young jockey is now firmly ensconced as a popular “go-to” jockey on the NSW provincial circuit. It's a pleasure to share Lee's story on our podcast. Lee says he's been surprised by the ongoing support of  Chris Waller and several other trainers who patronise the Newcastle and Kembla Saturday meetings. He talks about his patient style of riding and his efforts to look busy in tight finishes. The jockey takes us back to childhood days in County Meath (IRE). He talks of siblings and the absence of racing in the family background.    Lee says there was a time he had visions of becoming a primary school teacher but that ambition was quickly replaced by several sporting pursuits.                                                    He admits to taking on his stablehand's job for no other reason than to earn some pocket money. He pays tribute to two employers Joe Byrne and Joanna Morgan, both former outstanding jockeys.   He talks of a suggestion put to him by Samantha Wynne, an Irish jockey who was already working in NZ. Lee looks back on his first apprenticeship to Roger James at his famous Kingscere Stables in Cambridge. Sadly the association didn't work out. He talks of a move to the stables of Shaun and Emma Clotworthy. Lee remembers with clarity the thrill of his first winning ride at Ruakaka. He reflects on a black type win at Te Rapa on a very smart horse called Barbaric. Lee remembers an Ellerslie win on Rising Romance, almost certainly the best horse he got to ride in NZ. The 31 year old hasn't forgotten the thrill of his scholarship win, a whirlwind move to Sydney and a stint at the Waller stable. Lee says he thought his first win for Waller would never come. He was immensely relieved to get home on Pianissimo at Warwick Farm. He was thrilled to land a Saturday double at Royal Randwick not long after. Lee talks of a win in an apprentice's race on the ill fated Higher Ground. He had a big opinion of the gelding. The jockey likes to claim some of the credit for the launch of Fangirl's stellar career. He had the mount when Fangirl strolled home in a Goulburn maiden. He recalls a win on Mo'unga when the horse was trained by Chris Waller.   Lee enjoys reminiscing about some high profile horses he got to ride in trackwork for the Waller stable. He hasn‘t forgotten the thrill of his biggest single race day achievement, a four win haul at Newcastle. Lee outlines his trackwork and barrier trial involvement. He talks of a strong association with the Richard and Will Freedman yard. Lee talks of a casual association with the Waterhouse/Bott stable. He recalls a Newcastle win on a horse destined for Derby success a few weeks later. He talks of his connection with the Kris Lees stable. Lee recalls the support he received from Blake Shinn in his early days in Sydney. As a regular at the Saturday Kembla and Newcastle meetings, Lee says he's formed strong camaraderie with a group of fellow riders. It's a laid back chat with a genial Irishman who followed his instincts after leaving the place of his birth.

December was a rough month off-mic, fighting illness and holiday chaos, but we're back now to finally ask: What if the found footage was real…and the scariest thing wasn't the monster, but the filmmaker? This week, we're digging into Butterfly Kisses (2018), Erik Kristopher Myers' razor-sharp found footage deconstruction that asks a deeply uncomfortable question: how far will an artist go to be believed? The film follows Gavin York, a documentarian who stumbles upon a box of tapes left behind by two film students investigating an urban legend known as Peeping Tom. What starts as a forgotten student project quickly spirals into obsession, as Gavin sets out to “prove” the footage is authentic—dragging his own film crew (and his sanity) down with him. Part found footage, part academic critique, Butterfly Kisses plays in the same sandbox as The Blair Witch Project, Paranormal Activity, and The Last Exorcism, then calmly turns to the camera and asks whether we actually want these stories to be true. It's less about jump scares and more about ego, credibility, and the uniquely modern horror of needing proof at any cost. Found footage skeptics welcome. Film nerds encouraged. Peeping Tom is watching either way. We also talk about hockey, Primate, and Strange Harvest. We're girls of simple taste.

Kicking off season 7 of Bold Like Her with an old friend I had the chance to catch up with as we sat down to chat fitness, life and where she is now in her career. Kate is the COO of Higher Ground Fitness, helping them to continue to grow and open more locations around Boston.  We talked about what the workout looks like along with their proprietary HGF Machine! Fitness has always been a part of Kate's life, in fact she ran the Boston Marathon at the age of just 15! She followed the path she thought was meant for her with positions in finance at companies like Wayfair and Pintrest but felt a pull in another direction. She found herself mentoring and coaching other fitness studio owners on how to run their locations as money making businesses and as fate would have it met the owner of Higher Ground.

# Higher Ground #RTTBROS #Nightlight"I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth." — Psalm 121:1-2You know, I took this picture while driving through Idaho, and it stopped me in my tracks. Those clouds rolling over the mountains, that stormy sky pushing up against something solid and unmovable. It got me thinking about where we are right now, standing at the edge of a new year.There's something about mountains that draws us. Maybe it's because they remind us there are things bigger than ourselves. Those peaks don't shift with the weather. The storms come and go, the clouds roll in and roll out, but the mountains? They just stand there, solid and sure.As we step into this new year, a lot of us are looking at some storm clouds on our horizon. Maybe it's worry about what's coming, regrets about what's behind us, or just that general uncertainty that makes you feel like you're standing on shaky ground. And here's what I've learned, too soon old and too late smart as usual, we have a choice about where we fix our eyes.The Psalmist says, "I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills." Not down at the problems. Not sideways at what everyone else is doing. Up. To something higher, something solid, something that doesn't change when the storms roll in.But here's the thing, the Psalmist doesn't say his help comes from the hills. He says, "My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth." Even those mountains, as impressive as they are, they're not the source. They're just a reminder of the One who spoke them into existence.God isn't just bigger than your problems. He made the whole playing field. The same God who raised up those mountains? He sees you right where you are today.As we head into this new year, maybe what we need isn't a detailed map of every mile ahead. Maybe what we need is to lift our eyes up, to remember who made the mountains, who commands the storms, who holds tomorrow in hands that were pierced for us.The storms will come. That's just life in this old sin-cursed world. But we serve a God who is higher than any mountain, steadier than any ground beneath our feet, and closer than the very breath in our lungs.So let me ask you, where are your eyes fixed as you look ahead? Are you staring at the clouds, or are you lifting your gaze to the One who made the hills?Let's pray: Father, as we step into this new year, help us remember that You are our solid ground. When the storms come, teach us to lift our eyes to You. Thank You for being the same yesterday, today, and forever.

This week, we continue our Mike Flanagan Rewind series with Episode 7 of The Haunting of Bly Manor.  In this episode, we uncover the dark truth behind Peter and Rebecca's tragic fate at Bly Manor. Through flashbacks, Peter learns the rules of being a ghost: he can briefly possess the living—and, with an invitation, take over a body permanently. But every spirit trapped on the grounds risks losing their face, their memories, and ultimately their identity. Believing they can be together forever, Peter convinces Rebecca to invite him in. Instead of reuniting, he uses her body to walk into the lake, drowning her and binding her to Bly as a ghost. Heartbroken and furious, Rebecca refuses to join his plan to possess the children—Miles and Flora,but Peter continues manipulating events to get what he wants. In the present day, Peter and Rebecca lure Dani to the attic as their scheme reaches its breaking point. The children appear to surrender their bodies to the ghosts, and when Hannah intervenes, Peter (speaking through Miles) forces her to confront her own death. But Flora reveals the truth: she and Rebecca have been pretending, and Rebecca has not taken her over. As Dani attempts a desperate escape with Flora, they are suddenly confronted by Bly Manor's most fearsome spirit—the Lady in the Lake. We also land on our next movie review for next week: Butterfly Kisses, a fun found footage romp. 

On today's page, Zevachim 87, the rabbis debate whether suspended offerings become sanctified by the altar's “airspace,” expanding holiness into the invisible vertical realm above it. That same question animates New York City's obsession with air rights, where the unseen world above a roofline becomes the site of future growth. What happens if we start treating the space above our own lives—our ambitions, potential, imagination—as buildable terrain? Listen and find out.

We're joined by Alison Taylor, author of Higher Ground, and Karen Wood, Chair of global mining and metals company South32, and Thomas Lingard from think tank, the Centre for Future Generations to try an unpack the possible impact of AI and how values and purpose actually show up in boardrooms and tough decisions.

Mark Kellner and I discuss his October 24, 2025, article in The Epoch Times where he states that more "Americans now say religion is gaining influence in national life than at any point in the past 15 years," which comes from a Pew Research Center report on October 20, 2025. Mark and I have been friends for 30 years and have discussed many topics related to faith and the Churches of God.  He is a well-known author and a great person to talk to.  This is our third podcast.   Career highlights Kellner began writing about issues of faith and freedom in 1983.   From March 11, 1991, to January 18, 2014, he wrote some 1,200 weekly—and for about 18 months, semi-weekly—technology columns for The Washington Times.   He authored a religion-news column for The Washington Times titled “Higher Ground,” which debuted January 25, 2013.   From February 2014 to September 2015, he served as national reporter for the Deseret News in Salt Lake City.   From 2021-2024, Kellner was a national “Faith & Family” reporter for The Washington Times.   He is now based in Mesquite, Nevada.  Areas of focus & contributions Kellner has covered technology topics (especially earlier in his career) and later moved strongly into religion, faith institutions, family issues, religious liberty, and cultural trends.   He has also contributed to other outlets such as Religion News Service, Christianity Today, and various magazines/newspapers.  1 Kellner is a philatelist (stamp collector) and is a member of philatelic societies including the Royal Philatelic Society London, the Collectors Club of New York, and a life member of the American Philatelic Society.   Notable publications He is the author of God on the Internet.   He also wrote a book in the “For Dummies®” series (about WordPerfect or other software) during his technology-writing era.  Significance in journalism Kellner's career reflects a breadth of reporting: from technology journalism to deep engagement with faith and family issues in the public square. His long tenure at The Washington Times (both in tech and faith reporting) gives him significant institutional memory in those realms. Because of his religion and family-focus work, his writing often intersects with cultural, social and values-based dimensions of journalism. Current status As of his website update (2024–25), Kellner remains a freelance journalist available for assignments and has experience covering swing-state elections (for the New York Post in Nevada).  He continues to maintain his portfolio of stories on faith, family, culture and technology.  

We're back this week with a belated Halloween special—and we're finally tackling The Shining! Stanley Kubrick's 1980 classic traps us in the snowbound Overlook Hotel, where Jack Torrance's plans to write and reconnect with his family spiral into madness. We'll talk about the film's haunting imagery, its lasting influence on horror, and—of course—Jack's palpable resentment for the woman he willingly married. Plus, we dig into Stephen King's well-documented hatred for Kubrick's adaptation and why the author felt the film missed the heart of his story. Grab your typewriter, your tricycle, and your room key—it's time to shine.  

“Be a homie & let us know what you think”A beat can cross oceans faster than any plane ticket—this showcase proves it. We're celebrating Filipino producers from Manila to Sacramento with a curated trip through sample alchemy, razor-sharp cuts, and pulse-raising drum and bass. The goal is simple: connect you with artists worth following and give you a map to explore their catalogs, crews, and scenes.We open with a Filipino alchemist from Florida named Soy or Soyisreal then we feature a track with atmosphere and intent—Free The Robots sets a cinematic frame before HeruHeruHeru reminds us not to overthink a great loop. Elijah B raises the stakes with head-twisting arrangements, then Roboplex teams with Hendrik to merge live visuals culture with studio craft. KiNG HYSTERiA, Imaginary Other, Chewy, and IF1 light up the cipher, while D-Styles demonstrates why scratching remains composition, percussion, and storytelling all at once. The energy pivots into TKDPLL's drum and bass, a lane resonating deeply across Filipino circles, and lands on LUSTBASS and Filipino 1990 where feel meets message.From there, Six The NorthStar tightens the groove, Skeematic explores meditative texture, and 4B5ynth out of Marikina turns off-kilter rhythm into a hypnotic flip. Higher Ground's The PHARM brings collective firepower, Dpsht and Tenkousei.'s cool the room with downtempo warmth, and Skeptics and Ize pull dancers to the front with summer color and clever edits. We close with Loopin_iii's high-velocity DnB, then shout Wave Groove and tease that this is only part one of the all-Filipino spotlight.If something moves you, follow the links, grab a tee, buy a coffee, or send us a text directly from the description—we read every messag Support the showEdited, Mixed and Mastered by GldnmndPodcast Website Link: The Rec Show PodcastSubscribe to Our YouTube Channel: Press Here

After a long month of life getting in the way, we're finally back—and just in time for spooky season! This week, we're diving into Emma Tammi's 2018 supernatural western horror film, The Wind—a haunting story of isolation, paranoia, and the terrors that creep across the open prairie. We also chat about American Monster: Ed Gein, The Black Phone 2, and make an impulsive (but very on-brand) decision to finally cover The Shining in honor of Halloween. Because honestly? We deserve a little something special.

Subscribe to Fela Kuti: Fear No Man. In a world that's on fire, what is the role of art? What can music actually…do? Can a song save a life? Change a law? Topple a president? Get you killed? In Fela Kuti: Fear No Man, Jad Abumrad—creator of Radiolab, More Perfect, and Dolly Parton's America—tells the story of one of the great political awakenings in music: how a classically trained 'colonial boy' traveled to America, in search of Africa, only to return to Nigeria and transform his sound into a battering ram against the state—creating a new musical language of resistance called Afrobeat. For years, the world's biggest stars made pilgrimages to Nigeria to experience Fela's Shrine, the epicenter of his musical revolution. But when the mix of art and activism got too hot, the state pulled out its guns, and literally opened fire. Fela Kuti: Fear No Man is an uncategorizable mix of oral history, musicology, deep dive journalism, and cutting edge sound design that takes listeners deep inside Fela's life, music, and legacy. Drawing from over 200 interviews with Fela Kuti's family, friends, as well as scholars, activists, and luminaries like Burna Boy, Paul McCartney, Questlove, Santigold, and former President Barack Obama (just to name a few), Fela Kuti: Fear No Man journeys deep into the soul of Afrobeat to explore the transformative power of art and the role artists can play in this current moment of global unrest.

Interview Date: March 23rd, 2025Episode Summary:This episode spotlights Robert Garland, Artistic Director of Dance Theatre of Harlem (DTH)—former principal dancer, DTH's first resident choreographer, and a Juilliard BFA graduate. Beyond the concert stage, Garland's work spans New York City Ballet, The Royal Ballet, Oakland Ballet, and commercial projects from Sesame Street to Nike and the NAACP Image Awards.Garland traces DTH's roots to Arthur Mitchell's 1969 vision and explains how Mitchell's lecture-demonstration model built audiences and access. He folds in a vivid business/history lesson on George Balanchine—from the Ballets Russes and Coco Chanel's short ballet skirt to the Harlem Renaissance's jazz influence that helped shape neoclassicism and, crucially, how smart repertoire and audience-building choices drove growth. On the business side, Garland stresses that relationships power opportunities and fundraising—“contacts become contracts”—and lifts the curtain on the theater's “cottage industry” (development, marketing, production, stage management). For dancers, he offers pragmatic guidance: cultivate musicianship and form, be multifaceted (social, lighting, admin), and understand cycles of work—pace your week so you peak for shows. He unpacks today's video-first auditions, urging care with presentation, while affirming many legitimate pathways (college, company route, or self-directed study).Show notes:(0:00) – Robert Garland introduction & career highlights(09:41) – Dance Theatre of Harlem origin & mission(14:55) – Juilliard audition story and scholarship journey(16:56) – Balanchine, Coco Chanel, and neoclassicism explained(25:51) – “Contacts = Contracts”: relationships fuel opportunities(33:16) – Careers beyond stage: marketing, production, education(38:27) – Arts education builds empathy and compassion(42:34) – Audition process and rise of video submissions(51:41) – Transition into commercial/TV work with hip-hop artists(1:12:11) – From dancer to choreographer to creative leadershipBiography:Artistic Director Robert Garland was a member of the Dance Theatre of Harlem Company from 1985-1998, achieving the rank of principal dancer. After creating a work for the DTH School Ensemble, Arthur Mitchell invited Mr. Garland to create a work for The Dance Theatre of Harlem Company and appointed him the organization's first Resident Choreographer. Before becoming DTH Artistic Director, he was Director of the Dance Theatre of Harlem school. In 2023, Mr. Garland was appointed the Artistic Director of Dance Theatre of Harlem. His works for the company include Higher Ground, New Bach, Return, Nyman String Quartet No. 2, and The Cookout among others, many are in his signature postmodern-urban-neo-classical style.  In addition to choreographing several ballets for DTH, Mr. Garland has also created works for New York City Ballet, Britain's Royal Ballet, Oakland Ballet and many others.  His commercial work has included music videos, commercials and short films, including the children's television show “Sesame Street”, a Nike commercial featuring New York Yankee Derek Jeter, the NAACP Image Awards, a short film for designer Donna Karan, and the “Charmin Cha-Cha” for Proctor and Gamble.
