What lies hidden in the forgotten backroads and isolated hollows of Southern Ohio? Far from the panic of New England, the Midwest developed its own distinct, enduring tapestry of magic—one born of necessity, deeply connected to the land, and carried through generations by powerful women, healers, and respected cunning folk. In this episode of The Twilight Tonic, hostess DeeDee Moonflyer sits down with storyteller and author Mark H. Roe to explore his fascinating book, Witches of Southern Ohio: A Field Guide to Folk Magic, Legends, and Local Lore. Together, they step into a world where Native American traditions, early settler beliefs, and Appalachian folk magic intertwine.

Básník, písničkář a výtvarník Arnošt Šťáva, vystupující pod pseudonymem Angst, se podhoubím české nezávislé scény nenápadně pohybuje už několik let. V posledních měsících mu vyšla v rychlém sledu hned dvě alba. To poslední s názvem Peace of hollows ho dovedlo až k nám do špíního studia. Rozmlouvali jsme nejen o zmiňované nahrávce, úskalích skládání a emocionalitě v hudbě, ale i o obsáhlém playlistu, který si k nám přinesl.

The latest episode of The Science Faction spirals from Star Wars spoilers and obsolete gaming hardware to AI-powered paper interfaces, billionaire airline schemes, and a surprisingly heartfelt sci-fi short story discussion. Also: Devon's mom makes a guest appearance. Real Life Steven kicks things off with the finale of Maul: Shadow Lord, which somehow managed to exceed expectations and leave him wanting even more animated Star Wars content. That naturally led into random Star Wars news, toy leaks, and the growing suspicion that The Mandalorian and Grogu may already be accidentally spoiling itself through merchandise. Nothing says "carefully guarded cinematic surprise" like a plastic action figure showing up six months early. Ben dives deep into the glory of the New Steam Controller — the strange, awkward, beloved device whos first version maybe arrived too early for the world to appreciate. Thumbpads, gyroscopes, weird ergonomics, customization rabbit holes… the gang discusses why the controller still has devoted fans years later, and why scalpers continue to treat new tech like buried treasure. That somehow mutates into a discussion about AI infrastructure and whether we're entering a full-blown "Rampocalypse." Is AI consuming all available RAM on Earth? Why do hardware prices keep fluctuating like cursed crypto charts? Nobody has all the answers, but everyone agrees the future smells faintly of overheated GPUs. Ben also brings up the world of HFY ("Humans Eff Yeah") sci-fi stories — tales where humanity survives, thrives, or weaponizes sheer stubbornness against impossible odds. If you've ever wanted science fiction powered by caffeine, duct tape, and irrational confidence, HFY may be your genre. Meanwhile, Devon's mom came to visit. Hi mom! Steven also revisits Cyberpunk: Combat Zone from Monster Fight Club: https://monsterfightclub.com/collections/cyberpunk-red-combat-zone The crew talks miniatures, skirmish combat, and the appeal of tactical cyberpunk warfare. This naturally evolves into a completely different question: how does Hackers still have such a low Rotten Tomatoes score? Some crimes cannot be forgiven. Future or Now  Steven and Devon discover the incredible website: https://letsbuyspiritair.com/  The dream? Take ownership away from billionaires and let the people run an airline. The concerns? Literally everything else. Devon immediately begins asking practical questions like: "What happens if people pledge money and then don't pay?" This turns into an unexpectedly entertaining conversation about collective ownership, internet chaos, and the terrifying logistics of buying an airline like it's a Kickstarter for a board game. Ben brings in a fascinating essay by James Somers: https://jsomers.net/blog/the-paper-computer  Somers proposes the idea of a "paper computer," where AI bridges the gap between tactile physical objects and digital systems. Instead of staring at glowing rectangles all day, users could interact with notebooks, index cards, sketches, and handwritten notes while AI quietly handles transcription, synchronization, and organization in the background. The discussion drifts into concepts similar to Dynamicland — a future where computing becomes ambient, physical, and less psychologically exhausting. Less clicking. More touching grass. Possibly literally. Book Club (~20 min) This Week: Saint Zero of the Hollows and the Eagle Knight by V. M. Ayala https://www.lightspeedmagazine.com/fiction/saint-zero-of-the-hollows-and-the-eagle-knight/ "The only sound Zero heard in their helmet was their own hyperventilating and the gentle pings from their pegasus." The crew unanimously loved this one. The story blends sci-fi, mysticism, military imagery, and desperate emotional momentum into something that strongly reminded everyone of Red Rising. Giant-scale emotional stakes, rigid systems, brutal conflict, and characters struggling under impossible expectations — it hit a lot of the same notes in the best way. That comparison leads naturally into discussion of The Will of the Many, which Devon recently listened to during a road trip. The gang talks about recurring themes in modern science fiction: empire, hierarchy, sacrifice, rebellion, and the terrifying pressure of being "special" in worlds designed to consume people. This week's story earned a rare unanimous recommendation from the hosts. Next Week: Update on Rules for the Spatiotemporal Use of Campus Spaces by Andrea Kriz https://www.lightspeedmagazine.com/fiction/update-on-rules-for-the-spatiotemporal-use-of-campus-spaces/ "Dear Members of the Community, As we begin yet another fall semester in the throes of the rogue timestream unleashed on our campus…" Time distortions. Academic bureaucracy. Campus memos. Reality collapsing under administrative language. This already feels extremely promising.   Whether it's crowdfunded airlines, AI-powered paper notebooks, ancient Sith conspiracies, or sci-fi knights hyperventilating on robotic pegasi, this episode somehow manages to connect all of it into one giant conversation about technology, humanity, and the weird systems we build around ourselves. It's one of those episodes where the tangents get dangerously powerful, the recommendations stack up fast, and everyone leaves wanting to immediately consume more science fiction.

Lauren Keegan chats with Greg Johnston about her first published novel, All the Bees in the Hollows, long-listed for the ARA Historical Novel Prize 2025.   

This week's episode has a little bit of everything—local politics, a suspicious number of Star Trek–named kittens, some genuinely cool green tech, and a short story that hits you with an existential haymaker. Real Life  Devon's in a "life is… fine" zone, which is either stability or the calm before chaos—we'll let you decide. That leads into a surprisingly interesting question: does a mayor's party affiliation actually matter at the local level? Texas elections are happening right now, and it sparks a broader conversation about how much politics really trickles down into day-to-day governance. Also on the home front: kids' birthday parties, which are somehow both joyful and mildly exhausting. Ben has fully entered his foster-dad era—but for kittens. A whole crew of them: Kirk, Picard, Sisko, Janeway, Archer, and their mom Majel. He claims he didn't name them, which statistically feels unlikely. Either way, it's a Starfleet-grade lineup. Meanwhile, Devon's household remains firmly anti-new-pet, so don't expect a crossover episode there. We also touch on For All Mankind, and then pivot into the upcoming Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender film—specifically the leaks, early reactions, and what happens when studios lose control of the narrative before release. There's some real-world legal tension brewing there. Steven… well, Steven exists this week. (You'll hear it.)   Future or Now  Devon brings in a heavy one: reports that the independent board overseeing the National Science Foundation has been abruptly dismissed, raising serious concerns about political interference in scientific research and long-term innovation. You can read more here:  https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/apr/28/trump-fires-national-science-foundation-board  https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-fired-national-science-foundation-board-b2965242.html  This isn't just bureaucratic reshuffling—it could have real downstream effects on funding, research priorities, and scientific independence. Ben tries to balance things out with something genuinely cool: Mosscrete. https://gorespyre.com/  It's a bioreceptive concrete designed to grow moss directly on buildings using nothing but rain and humidity. No irrigation, no maintenance-heavy systems—just passive, living architecture. It's one of those ideas that feels obvious in hindsight but actually takes some clever engineering to pull off. This whole topic also dredges up a deep memory: Bill Nye's moss-and-milk experiment. If you know, you know. If you don't, you probably just learned something slightly unsettling about childhood science videos. Steven is present in this segment as well. Technically.   Book Club Next Week: Saint Zero of the Hollows and the Eagle Knight by V.M. Ayala https://www.lightspeedmagazine.com/fiction/saint-zero-of-the-hollows-and-the-eagle-knight/  "The only sound Zero heard in their helmet was their own hyperventilating and the gentle pings from their pegasus." That line alone is doing a lot of work. We're excited for this one. This Week: Learning To Be Me by Greg Egan http://thetafiction.com/story/learning-to-be-me/  "I was six years old when my parents told me that there was a small, dark jewel inside my skull, learning to be me." This story landed hard for all of us. It follows a life from childhood to adulthood in a way that feels deceptively simple—until it isn't. The structure does a ton of heavy lifting, and the twist is the kind that makes you immediately want to reread it. We get into some big ideas here, especially panpsychism—the notion that consciousness might be a fundamental property of the universe rather than something that just "emerges." It's one of those discussions that starts philosophical and ends slightly unsettling. If you like episodes that bounce between grounded real life, big-picture science, and brain-bending fiction, this one's for you.  

The Bleach TYBW Part 4 trailer may have just been LEAKED, as Tite Kubo's recent visit to Shueisha has fans convinced a release date is right around the corner.

10 STRANGEST Missouri CRYPTIDS with Steve Stockton - Missouri isn't just the "Show-Me State"—it's a land of deep, ancient hollows, winding riverbeds, and limestone caves that hide secrets dating back centuries. While the Midwest is often seen as quiet farmland, those who live near the Ozark hills or the banks of the "Big Muddy" know better. From the stinking, hair-raising terror of the Momo sightings in the 1970s to the protective, shimmering spirits of the Joplin Butterfly People, Missouri is a hotbed of high-strangeness.In tonight's episode, we step off the marked trails and into the shadows to count down the 10 strangest cryptids and urban legends ever reported in Missouri. Whether they are biological anomalies, interdimensional visitors, or the stuff of pure nightmare, these entities prove that the heartland is far more mysterious than it appears.In this video, we explore:The blood-curdling cry of the Ozark Howler.The 12-foot-tall aggressive giant known as the Beaman Monster.The grotesque, light-hating Ratman of Kansas City....and the elusive Jimplicute, a phantom that stalks the Ozark Highlands.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/missing-persons-mysteries--5624803/support.

Sycamores not only tend to lose limbs, which makes nesting sites for bats, birds, and mammals, but they also tend to rot from the inside, leaving open spaces at their base.

Elden Ring Nightreign: The Forsaken Hollows is de DLC voor de spin-off van de originele Soulslike hit van From Software, inmiddels alweer vier jaar geleden. Is deze extra content de moeite waard, ook gegeven het feit Nightreign een snellere, online multiplayer-derivaat is van de oorspronkelijke Elden Ring? Ivo Klokman is de liefhebbende expert die het heeft gespeeld en erover praat met Joe van Burik in deze Mini-Game-aflevering van All in the Game. Vragen of opmerkingen? Mail ons op allinthegame@bnr.nl Over All in the GameAll in the Game is de podcast over games voor iedereen. Wanneer er iets speelt in de wereld van games, hoor je dat hier: spannende ontwikkelingen, boeiende onderzoeken en natuurlijk de nieuwste releases om te spelen op je PlayStation, Xbox, pc of welk platform dan ook. Onder leiding van BNR's techredacteur Joe van Burik hoor je gesprekken met andere gamekenners, zoals beursnerd Jochem Visser, techredacteurs Niels Kooloos en Daniël Mol én popcultuurkenners Donner Bakker en Sam van Zuilen. Ook hoogleraar computerwetenschappen Felienne Herman en universiteit docent Laura van der Lubbe schuiven geregeld aan, en je hoort bijdragen van audioproducers André Dortmont en Wesley Schouwenaars, Elke week hoor je minimaal één aflevering van All in the Game. Of juist meerdere, wanneer er veel speelt in de wereld van games. Soms met impressies en analyses over actuele ontwikkelingen en nieuwe games. Andere keren kun je luisteren naar interviews met makers van bijzondere games, van Grand Theft Auto (GTA) tot Baldur's Gate 3 - zowel Nederlandse als internationale ontwikkelaars. Of we praten met e-sport-atleten, onderzoekers en andere experts in de wereld van videogames, in onze rubriek Main Game. En regelmatig laten we iemand van BNR Nieuwsradio aanschuiven om te vertelen over diens favoriete game van vroeger in de Retro-rubriek. In deze podcast kijken we verder dan alleen wat een game leuk maakt: we bespreken juist ook in de culturele, maatschappelijke, economische en technologische impact ervan. Jaarlijks gaat er immers zo'n 200 miljard euro om in de wereldwijde game-industrie, dat is al (vele jaren zelfs) daadwerkelijk meer dan de muziek- en filmindustrie bij elkaar opgeteld.

Of het nou gaat om Super Mario of Sonic the Hedgehog, Fortnite of Roblox, voetbalgames van EA Sports FC of de FIFA, Call of Duty of Battlefield, League of Legends of Dota,of goude oude titels zoals Tetris, Rollercoaster Tycoon, The Sims of zelfs Snake. En we hebben ook aandacht voor liefhebberijen die dicht op games zitten, zoals Dungeons & Dragons, Lego en de films, series en strips rond reeksen zoals Star Wars en Marvel. Het komt allemaal aan bod in All in the Game. All in the Game werd als podcast al in 2022 opgenomen in het archief van Het Nederlands instituut voor Beeld & Geluid in Hilversum - als eerste podcast van BNR Nieuwsradio en één van de eerste gamepodcasts van allemaal.

BLEACH: Thousand-Year Blood War Final Part - The Calamity premieres July 2026 ⚔️Bleach follows Ichigo Kurosaki, a teen who can see ghosts, as his life changes when he gains Soul Reaper (Shinigami) powers from Rukia Kuchiki to fight evil spirits called Hollows and guide souls to the afterlife. He takes on her duties, defending the living world and balancing it with the spirit world, leading to battles with other Shinigami and delving into the complex lore of the Soul Society.

Mother Mary Comes to Me by Arundhati Roy. This is by the author of the Booker Prize winning The God of Small Things - about her life growing up in India, the forces that shaped her, and particularly her very difficult relationship with her mother, Mary, who is always referred to in the book as Mrs Roy. Mrs Roy was a formidable force of nature and in trying to make sense of the dynamic between them, and to find her own way in the world, Arundhati has written a deeply moving, entertaining and profound memoir. How to Say Babylon by Safiya Sinclair. The author grew up in Jamaica where her father was a radical Rastafarian and was paranoid about keeping his daughters away from the secular world which they referred to as Babylon. Safiya's childhood was often brutal, peripatetic and poor but she had the soul of a poet and the dream to eventually become one. It's an extraordinary and deeply moving memoir – how one young woman eventually found the courage to stand up to her father and became the woman she never thought she could be. Anyone who read Educated and loved it will love this. The Breath of the Gods by Simon Winchester: A remarkable exploration of our atmosphere, and the role played in our lives by wind – which can be both benign and malevolent. It's a fascinating story told through history, literature, science, poetry and engineering – and includes a piece on our own Wahine disaster. Simon Winchester has an ability to make the everyday and apparently mundane, extraordinary. The Hollows Boys by Peta Carey. The story of the three Hollows brothers Gary, Mark and Kim, who were pivotal in the helicopter deer recovery era in Fjordland in the 1970s which was a dangerous and unregulated time. Gary Hollows died (as did many others) and the pain of that is still felt keenly today, more than 40 years on. The work they did against the backdrop of such a beautiful part of the country is jaw dropping, with high deer tallies helping keep that population down (and thereby protecting the environment), lots of money sloshing around and amazing stories of real derring do by a group of extraordinarily brave and reckless men who lived by their own rules. Mana by Tame Iti. The deeply personal account of the life of one of our greatest rebels and radicals who grew up being forbidden to speak te reo and became one of its biggest advocates (amongst many other causes). He's lived much of his life in the public eye, going from bad boy status to that of a national treasure and the journey is well documented in this beautiful and thoughtful book. It's a lovely production and includes lots of photographs, including some of his own artwork. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, we sit down with Laura, the captivating host of the Midnight in the Mountains Podcast, a spine-chilling show dedicated to exploring the eerie realms of history, folklore, legends, and all things paranormal. Laura takes us on an exhilarating journey through her lifelong fascination with the supernatural, sparked by a chilling childhood encounter at age five, when she witnessed a mysterious witch-like figure gliding through the treeline near her home. Her unyielding curiosity has led her to investigate some of the most haunted locations across the United States. This includes a heart-pounding weekend retreat with paranormal enthusiasts and Tony Merkel, host of The Confessionals Podcast. During this trip, Laura faced a terrifying spiritual assault from unseen entities at their lodging. Never one to shy away from the unknown, Laura also shares a gripping tale of a late-night cemetery investigation, where an otherworldly sound—unlike anything she had ever heard—hinted at the presence of a cryptid. Could it have been Sasquatch, a dogman, or something entirely different? With an open mind and fearless spirit, Laura dives into the possibilities.Check Out, Instagram: @midnight_inthemountainsWe are thrilled to announce the official launch of Let's Get Freaky merchandise!

The Age of Mythic has arrived in Everlasting, and everything is far from normal. The citizens find themselves burdened by oppressive rules and regulations, which only serve to widen the gap between the noble class and the commoners. Those who hold secrets actively suppress free thinking. Trapped within the Hollows, the Enchantress's dark power continues to grow. She lures unsuspecting victims into her web, aiming to create an army of umbrian, the unborn, made of shadows. Amidst the political unrest sparked by an unfair trial involving the much-admired and popular Librarian, a sinister plot unfolds to establish a regency in Everlasting. As the forces of evil gather to bring an end to the Age of Mythic, there exists only one savior who can protect the future of Everlasting from a grim destiny. The Light Blade, a legendary and prophetic artifact, was feared by many and doubted by few. Among those who disregarded it the most was Vandis, a humble orphan. Plagued by unanswered questions from his past, Vandis had lost faith in everything, especially himself. It seemed impossible for a man who believed in nothing to become something extraordinary. What would it take for the Realm Caster to realize his destiny? Who would help him transform into the man who could ultimately wield the Light Blade and defeat the Enchantress?

Known for her unique blend of mystery, sci-fi, romance, and the supernatural, Lorna took us deep into the eerie world of her latest novel, A Glimmer in the Hollows—a haunting tale set in a small Appalachian town filled with dark secrets, unexplained disappearances, and blurred lines between reality and the unknown.Why You Should Tune Into This Interview:In this interview, Lorna Selley not only dives into the rich, atmospheric world she's created in A Glimmer in the Hollows, but she also opens up about her personal writing journey, the inspiration behind her supernatural storytelling, and the challenges of crafting such a genre-bending novel.

The story centers on Jessica Paige, a woman haunted by the memory of a young girl named Olivia Garcia, who vanished under her care twenty years ago. But Jessica's fragmented memories and strange visions suggest there's more to the story, and as she embarks on a quest for answers, she encounters two feral boys who may hold the key to unlocking the town's dark secrets. Along the way, she's joined by bestselling author Elliot Reed, who is in town to explore Driftwood's eerie legends for his next book. Together, they unravel a mystery that challenges their perceptions of what's real and what's unknown.Lorna's expert weaving of mystery, sci-fi, and romance—with just the right dose of supernatural elements—creates a narrative that keeps readers on edge.

A babysitter for two children on Halloween night discovers a tape among their candy bags featuring three horror stories. Each story is linked by a murderous clown and after starting the tape, strange occurrences take place in the house.All Hollows' Eve is the first feature-length film directed by Damien Leone, best known for the Terrifier movies. What's interesting about All Hollows' Eve is that it depicts Art the Clown prior to the Terrifier movies. In this film, he's portrayed as a killer clown among a series of short horror films in a video tape discovered in a bag of Halloween candy. We enjoy horror anthology movies and found two of the three short horror films in this movie to be very entertaining. However, one of the films seemed very out-of-place. Watch the movie and catch our review.

Daniel Church is a horror fiction writer and the author of THE HOLLOWS, which was shortlisted for the British Fantasy Award. His second book, THE RAVENING, is out now and his third novel, THE SOUND OF THE DARK, will be published in 2025. In THE RAVENING, two women fight to free themselves of a terrifying thousand-year-old curse. Jenna lost her mum when she was a girl—a terrifying incident on a lonely road in the woods that no one, least of all Jenna, has ever been able to explain. She's been angry, defensive, and self-reliant ever since—until she meets Holly and begins to open up just a little. But just as life is beginning to offer some promise Jenna is ripped away from Holly; kidnapped by a bizarre cult in thrall, so they say, to an ancient demon who offers the promise of eternal life in return for a particular sacrifice. A sacrifice that links Jenna, her mum, and a bloodline reaching back centuries. With its antlered demon and a shadowy otherworld behind the veil of our world, THE RAVENING combines cinematic horrors with a compelling story of one woman's refusal to give up and another woman's fight for survival against terrible odds – both of them determined to overturn very different expectations. In this interview, we talk about, his childhood fascination with dark and creepy stories, his pen name, the writer's responsibility to serve the story and characters, the importance of avoiding self-indulgence and ego, and more.
