The Beach Boys' SMiLE was abandoned by Brian Wilson in 1967 and eventually performed at an emotional gathering of the faithful in London 37 years later. For writer and lecturer David Leaf it became an obsession. He made a documentary about it in 2004 and has just published ‘SMiLE: The Rise, Fall and Resurrection of Brian Wilson' drawn from detailed conversations with the people involved. He talks to us here about his discoveries, which include … ... the Rolling Stone story that kick-started his obsession. … “a bicycle ride from Plymouth Rock to Hawaii” and other early plans for the album. … how Leonard Bernstein, the Beatles and Derek Taylor racked up the pressure in the studio. … why the other Beach Boys – and Capitol and Murry Wilson - felt the new music was a threat to their livelihood. … how Brian composed the “teenage symphony for God” that became an albatross around his neck. ... “Ray Davies needed a deadline”: the perils of endless recording time. … the magnetism of Van Dyke Parks, a man who “talks in paragraphs”. ... the imagined impact on the world and the band's career if SMiLE had come out in 1967. … the birth of “art rock” versus the strictures of the music business. … the value of the SMiLE myth in the eventual rebirth of the Beach Boys. … the reaction to its long-awaited performance at the Festival Hall in 2004. ... why Brian thought shelving the album would save the group yet “they went from a No 1 single to an act nobody cared about in under a year”. ... and the greatest Beach Boys record of all time.

One of the most enduring mysteries of all time is what happened on Oak Island in Nova Scotia? Was there treasure buried there and is it still there? One of the most popular cable television shows ever, The Curse of Oak Island on History Channel, investigated the mystery spending millions of dollars over ten seasons and could not find the treasure. Both Don Ruh and Scott Wolter have had firsthand involvement with the island and its mysteries over the years, Don sharing two maps with Rick and Marty Lagina via his friend and co-researcher Zena Halpern, and Scott with his multiple visits to the island. However, they had little interest in the mystery until early in 2023 when a trove of encrypted documents came to Don as part of their research of the Knights' Templar Cremona Document materials. Once decoded, the five messages and three sketches and one new map of the island revealed shockingly detailed information about who constructed, “ The Underground Project,” put treasure there and what happened to it. Finally, the over six-centuries-long mystery has been solved. Incredibly, the documents also provide new insight into the fabled Holy Grail.Forensic geologist Scott Wolter was host of History Channel' s hit show, America Unearthed, which followed him on his quest to uncover the truth behind controversial historic artifacts and sites found throughout North America and beyond. Scott is the author of three books about the Templars and Freemasons, including the wildly controversial, The Hooked X: Key to the Secret History of North America. Scott is a 32nd degree Freemason and Templar Knight, and is married to author and co-researcher, Janet Wolter. They have two adult children and two grandchildren. Donald Ruh, author of The Scrolls of Onteora: The Cremona Document, was born and raised in Mount Vernon, N.Y. and worked as an electronics technician in the manufacturing process of medical equipment, retiring in 2008. He is an honorary member of the New York State Archaeological Association, and a member of the New England Antiquities Association (NEARA) since 1998. He has worked with Scott Wolter since 2006 to decode and understand the complex historic maps and other materials contained in the Cremona Document.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.

In this deeply intimate and inspiring episode, Rudi sits down with his wife, Anniston Riekstins—not as a co-host, but as a guest—to explore the profound spiritual and emotional awakening that transformed her from the inside out.

She unveils Coming Home to Her, a free 7-day voice activation experience designed to help women reconnect with the power, peace, and purpose already within them.If you've felt like you're in between identities, disconnected from your body, or unsure of who you are becoming—this episode is your invitation to come home.

Send us a textWell, what can we say the Werecat is going to war with Foxglove, our slightly crazy... No, really crazy... No, completely crazy, psychopathic Fairy. The Professor, Wil and co have been played by the Fairy. She has distracted them so that they don't realise what it is that she really wants. She wants the Holy Grail, and as our 12th Century Knight, now Professor, has already drunk from the Grail, then she has guessed that it is at the Professor's home. She searches while the Werecat tries to stop them. If Foxglove drinks from the Grail, she will become a God. A real God. Can the team stop her from becoming such a powerful creature? We will see.The Devil will lend a hand. She usually has to sort this sh*t out for everyone.https://grendelpress.com/sinister-soup.

I år er det femti år siden Monty Python and the Holy Grail kom på kino, og det er femti år siden humorserien Hotell i særklasse for første gang ble vist på BBC. Kulturjournalist Elise Dybvig har vært på Folketeateret i Oslo for å se den 85 år gamle britiske komikerlegenden John Cleese i levende live. Det var en ganske tragisk affære. Det var også en påminnelse om at det fantes en tid da man i en vanlig samtale kunne si at man foretrakk «britisk humor». En kikk på dagens strømmetjenester gir derimot inntrykk av at britene har sluttet å lage humor. Er det – som med alt annet – brexit som har skylden?Britiske humorprogram nevnt i episoden:Peep Show (2003-2015)Monty Python's Flying Circus (1969-1973)Fleabag (2016-2019)This Country (2017-2020)Alan Partridge, figuren spilt av skuespiller Steve Coogan i film, tv-serier og podkast.Aksels anbefaling: Hørespillene De dödas röster og Exorcismen i Eksjö på Sveriges Radio Hosted on Acast.

Then, poof—he's gone, whisked away to a mysterious place called Avalon, never to be seen again. Did this King really vanish into the wilderness, or is his whole story just a legend?” Join us this week as we investigate the strange disappearance of King Arthur, Camelot, and the Holy Grail.Learn more about Locations Unknown: https://linktr.ee/LocationsUnknownCheck out our other shows on the Unknown Media Network:Crime Off The GridOff The TrailsThe Peanut Butter and Mountains PodcastThe Weirdos We Know Who Runs This ParkNew Patreon Shoutouts: Katie Sylvis & Jacob Budke.Want to help the show out and get even more Locations Unknown content!

Happy Mother's Day weekend!On the one hand, it's a beautiful celebration of motherhood and on the other… well, it can bring up a lot.It's layered.It's complex. What I've found to be incredibly healing and empowering on my own journey as a woman, as a daughter and as a mother is to connect with the true power of mother.The CreatrixThe Great Mother within.The womb.The womb is not just about fertility.This goes far beyond the biomedical definition of Uterus.The womb is our chalice; our personal Holy Grail, our source of our creative life force and personal power.The womb by design can be a portal into boundless bliss and ecstasy.And our chief source of confidence in our intuition and oracular guidance.But it often doesn't feel that way.The good news is that we can change that.When we clear the stored emotion, stress and trauma (of course it's generational) we reclaim the true radiance of the womb; the Creatrix.I've got a simple practice to help you do exactly that.Let's dive in!Access the Creatrix Womb Ceremony here!

Hi everyone! We recently surveyed our audience and learned that many of you would like to see more video. So, we're kicking off a new run of video episodes, beginning with our interview featuring John Cleese—actor, writer, comedian, and author of Creativity: A Short and Cheerful Guide. You can watch the interview on our Substack, or on Youtube. Enjoy! Original intro The Ministry of Silly Walks. The Cheese Shop. French Taunting. If you haven't seen any of these Monty Python sketches before, do us a favor and go watch one or two of them. You'll discover—or re-discover—why our guest for this episode is a creative comic legend. John Cleese starred in and co-wrote the award-winning series Fawlty Towers, was nominated for an Academy Award for the screenplay of A Fish Called Wanda, and even has a species of lemur named after him (Cleese's wooly lemur, Avahi cleesei). He's also an expert on the creative process, and so if you're looking for a new framework to level-up your own workflow, his book Creativity: A Short and Cheerful Guide is a great resource. We talk with John about his new book, and also about creative collaboration in the midst of friction, how to be comfortable with ambiguity, and creating boundaries of space and time to get in a creative mode. We also get to ask him a question that's been bugging us ever since we first watched Monty Python and The Holy Grail. These days, we can all use a little more laughter in our lives. We hope our interview with John sparks some joy, and leaves you with some new creative tools. Thanks for listening. Bio John Cleese is an English actor, comedian, writer, and film producer. He achieved success at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and as a scriptwriter and performer on The Frost Report. In the late 1960s, he co-founded Monty Python, the comedy troupe responsible for the sketch show Monty Python's Flying Circus and the four Monty Python films, And Now for Something Completely Different, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Life of Brian, and The Meaning of Life. In the mid-1970s, Cleese and his first wife, Connie Booth, co-wrote and starred in the British sitcom Fawlty Towers. Later, he co-starred with Kevin Kline, Jamie Lee Curtis, and former Python colleague Michael Palin in A Fish Called Wanda and Fierce Creatures. He also starred in Clockwise, and has appeared in many other films, including two James Bond films, two Harry Potter films, and the last three Shrek films. He is also the author of Creativity: A Short and Cheerful Guide. *** This ad-supported episode is available to everyone.

Send us a textPeter Duffy's message is plain: The pace of mergers will get fatter and it will involve credit unions of all sizes, from the small to the mega institutions. First Tech and DCU may seem an outlier but now there is ENT and Wings and the pace will keep up, says Duffy who now has joined SRM.Will the chaos and uncertainty in Washington DC slow the merger pace? Duffy thinks not, indeed the pace may quicken.That's because, says Duffy, economies of scale are now the Holy Grail of financial institutions. Bigger is a competitive advantage, he says.He does make one surprise prediction: he believes the number of credit unions deals with banks will decrease.

Welcome to Episode 107 of The Ugly Quacking Duck, where we proudly embrace our status as "the worst podcast in the known universe"—because once you're the worst, you can only get better!This Star Wars Day special brings you Bruce and Sunny's unique perspective on everything from local weather patterns to global seismic activity. We kick off with our signature weather comparison between rainy Southern Illinois and sunny Phoenix, Arizona—a stark contrast that highlights how differently Mother Nature behaves across the continent. While we're dealing with 46°F temperatures and 94% humidity, Phoenix enjoys a comfortable 69°F with just 32% humidity. These weather segments connect us with listeners across different regions and provide a grounding element to our free-flowing conversation.Our earthquake report reveals some concerning trends in global seismic activity. With 1,774 earthquakes recorded worldwide in the past week alone, including four measuring above 6.0 magnitude and a massive 7.4 quake near South America, we're seeing patterns that suggest when overall earthquake counts decrease, higher-magnitude events tend to increase. This observation could potentially lead to better prediction methods, though we're still far from that reality.The News Corner segment dives into several fascinating stories you might have missed: scientists bringing back dire wolves through DNA manipulation, Sicily's ancient "white gold" tree sap being compared to biblical manna, Monty Python and the Holy Grail celebrating its 50th anniversary, and devastating sandstorms in Iraq that hospitalized thousands. These stories remind us that beyond our daily concerns, the world continues to surprise us with both scientific breakthroughs and ongoing challenges.We close with a heartfelt reminder about the importance of community in these divisive times. As Bruce says, "Every one of us bleeds. We need to stick together and pull each other up together, not push one person down to get up."Have you experienced any interesting weather phenomena in your area lately?

The 2005 sci-fi blockbuster Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith celebrated its 20th Anniversary this year with a notable achievement, with its re-release earning $30 million at the domestic box office. Being the biggest money-making example of a re-release this year, it shows why anniversaries for beloved films mean so much to audiences. Although not as much of a moneymaker, the 20th Anniversary re-release of Pride and Prejudice was able to make $3 million close its opening and close to $6 million total. To widen the scope to other decades-old movies, other beloved films like Monty Python and the Holy Grail and Jaws are making their way back to theaters to honor their respective 50th anniversaries. Joining us to get into this wide scope of film anniversaries is our film critics Lael Loewenstein and Manuel Betancourt.

We say goodbye to the land of cults with maybe the most dangerous cult of all – biblical allegory! That's right, we're tackling Darren Aronofsky's divisive and provoking mother!.
