The Selfish Giant by Oscar Wilde — A Calming Bedtime Story for Sleep & Insomnia | Books at Bedtime A soothing bedtime story to help you drift off tonight: Oscar Wilde's beloved fairy tale The Selfish Giant, read slowly and gently for sleep, insomnia relief, and quiet, unhurried listening. This is the first instalment of Books at Bedtime — also known as Coffee Break for the Soul — from the Calming Anxiety podcast, a strand of classic story readings designed as a calming audiobook for anxious or restless nights. If you'd like the whole library, plus ambient night-light features for the small hours, download Anchored on iOS:https://apps.apple.com/us/app/anchored-panic-anxiety/id6785035669 Narrated softly by Martin Hewlett, clinical hypnotherapist and former paramedic, this reading follows a selfish giant who banishes children from his beautiful garden — only for it to fall into an endless winter until he learns, slowly and gently, what it means to let love back in. No jump scares, no urgency, nothing to keep your mind alert — just a slow, unhurried voice and a classic tale, ideal as a sleep story or relaxation audiobook for falling asleep, insomnia, and quieting an anxious mind before bed. First published in 1888 in the collection The Happy Prince and Other Tales, Oscar Wilde's The Selfish Giant is in the public domain worldwide (Wilde died in 1900); this reading is Calming Anxiety's own narration of the classic public-domain text. This episode is part of the ongoing Books at Bedtime strand, alongside classic short fiction from Katherine Mansfield, Kate Chopin, and Arthur Conan Doyle — currently working through The Hound of the Baskervilles — with new instalments added regularly to the main Calming Anxiety feed.

Keith CooganTake a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know Keith Coogan. You know Keith from such classic films as: 'Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead', 'Adventures in Babysitting', 'Toy Soldiers', and tons more. In this episode, we chat about those specific projects of course, but then we jump into so much other stuff. Naturally we discuss his grandfather Jackie, and the law that bears the family name. Keith shares experiences from his extensive commercial work, as well as his personal experience in the film and television world as a child star. We touch on the ever-shrinking attention span of the viewing audience, and some of his fun career highlights. Keith performed in a sing & dance number on The Oscars alongside other 'Future Stars of Tomorrow' and wrote a comedy act for John Wayne Bobbitt. Naturally he shares his experiences on the films I named at the top, and he even tells me what it was like to film Disney's 'The Fox and The Hound', and why it took more than 3 years to complete. Keith is a delight, he knows everyone and has worked with just about everyone there is or was. Check out Keith at autograph shows, conventions, and his personal website where you can get some pretty dope custom merch. KeithCooganOnline.com

The Hound of the Baskervilles, Chapter 15: A Retrospection — The Final Chapter, by Arthur Conan Doyle | A Calming Bedtime Story for Sleep & Insomnia | Books at Bedtime A calming bedtime story to help you fall asleep — the fifteenth and final chapter of The Hound of the Baskervilles by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, read slowly and softly for anyone lying awake in the small hours. The moor is behind us. It is the end of November, and Holmes and Watson are back where they began — either side of a blazing fire in the sitting room at Baker Street, on a raw and foggy London night. Over the course of one long evening, Holmes finally sets out the whole of it: who Stapleton really was, where he came from, how the hound was bought and hidden, and every quiet step of a plan that had been running long before anyone thought to look for one.

Gần 150 năm sau khi ra đời dưới ngòi bút của nhà văn Arthur Conan Doyle, thám tử Sherlock Holmes vẫn giữ nguyên sức cuốn hút mạnh mẽ. Ngoài là nguồn cảm hứng bất tận cho điện ảnh và truyền hình, nhân vật này còn trở thành một huyền thoại văn học. Tại Pháp, chỉ có các tác phẩm quan trọng hàng đầu mới được đưa vào bộ sưu tập La Bibliothèque de la Pléiade. Gần đây, nhà xuất bản Gallimard đã cho xuất bản trong tủ sách có uy tín của mình bộ toàn tập Sherlock Holmes. Tính tổng cộng là 2.500 trang chia thành 2 tập sách dày, bao gồm bốn cuốn tiểu thuyết và 60 truyện ngắn. Bộ toàn tập này được phát hành kèm với một quyển tiểu sử minh họa dày hơn 250 trang. Đây là lần đầu tiên, tủ sách La Pléiade của nhà xuất bản Gallimard dành một quyển « tiểu sử » đặc biệt, kể lại nguồn gốc của một nhân vật hư cấu cũng như những câu chuyện bên lề và tầm ảnh hưởng của Sherlock Holmes trong dòng văn hóa đại chúng. Điều mà Hercule Poirot và Miss Marple của nữ hoàn tiểu thuyết trinh thám Agatha Christie vẫn chưa thực hiện được. Tác giả quyển tiểu sử "Sherlock Holmes" là ông Baudouin Millet, giảng viên chuyên khoa Văn học Anh và Dịch thuật tại Đại học Lumière Lyon II. Trả lời phỏng vấn RFI ban tiếng Pháp, ông Baudouin Millet phác họa vài nét chính của thám tử Sherlock Holmes. Sherlock Holmes là một thiên tài có khả năng giải quyết các vấn đề trong vụ án một cách dễ dàng đến mức khó tin, thậm chí ông còn hay nói đùa, có thể làm bẽ mặt những viên thanh tra của Scotland Yard bằng những câu nói như : "Chuyện đơn giản thôi!" hoặc "Anh chẳng hiểu gì cả'', ''Bộ não của anh sao mà nhỏ bé thế''. Có người cho là Sherlock Holmes có một bộ óc xuất chúng, có tài suy luận mạch lạc sắc bén, dựa trên nền tảng logic chặt chẻ, chứ không phỏng đoán mơ hồ. Nhờ vậy, ông giải quyết được các manh mối phức tạp, phá án nhanh để tìm ra thủ phạm. Nhưng theo tôi, Sherlock Holmes có một tư tưởng cởi mở phóng khoáng thiên về nghệ thuật hơn là khoa học. Để phá án, nhân vật này không ngại phá vỡ một số quy tắc, thoát ra ngoài lối suy nghĩ cứng nhắc. Ngoài ra, lối tiếp cận của ông thường được so sánh với một nhà khoa học pháp y, vì những phương pháp giám định của ông đã báo trước các kỹ thuật hiện đại của giới cảnh sát điều tra sau này. Ngay tại căn nhà của ông ở số 221B phố Baker Street, Sherlock Holmes thường hay tiến hành thử nghiệm dùng phương pháp hóa học để đi tìm vết tích bằng chứng, nhưng đồng thời ông cũng phải biết suy luận chặt chẽ để vạch trần tâm lý kẻ phạm tội. Một thiên tài xuất chúng chưa chắc gì đã dễ sống chung. Ngay từ lần xuất hiện đầu tiên vào năm 1887 trong truyện "A Study in Scarlet" cho đến những chuyến phiêu lưu cuối cùng được xuất bản năm 1927, trong đó có vụ án nổi tiếng nhất của ông là "The Hound of the Baskervilles" (1902), có thể nói Sherlock Holmes không phải là một người dễ mến với bà chủ nhà (Mrs Hudson) cũng như với người bạn và cộng sự của mình là bác sĩ John Watson. Trong truyện, Sherlock Holmes có tánh tình thay đổi khác thường. Theo tác giả Baudouin Millet, trong mắt của giới chuyên khoa tâm thần học thời nay, nhân vật tiểu thuyết này có triệu chứng của một người bị rối loạn lưỡng cực : Vâng, thuật ngữ rối loạn lưỡng cực chỉ mới được công nhận gần đây. Trước đó, giới bác sĩ từng nhắc đến chứng bệnh ''hưng trầm cảm'' cho đến những năm 1990. Dựa theo cách phân loại mới về các chứng bệnh tâm thần, các chuyên gia nói về triệu chứng rối loạn lưỡng cực khi những giai đoạn cực kỳ hưng phấn đột nhiên biến thành những khoảnh khắc vô cùng trầm cảm. Những đột biến nội tâm này thường không có dấu hiệu báo trước. Trong truyện Sherlock Holmes, câu chuyện được kể theo góc nhìn của bác sĩ Watson và dĩ nhiên ông Watson không dùng chữ rối loạn lưỡng cực vì thuật ngữ này chưa ra đời. Nhưng bác sĩ Watson lại mô tả một cách rõ ràng các triệu chứng hưng cảm rồi trầm cảm của Sherlock Holmes, đặc biệt là trong quyển sách ''The Sign of Four'' (1890). Cũng cần nói rõ, sinh thời nhà văn người Anh Arthur Conan Doyle ngoài đời là một bác sĩ và nhân vật Watson có nhiều nét giống tác giả. Không phải ngẫu nhiên mọi câu chuyện về Sherlock Holmes là do bác sĩ John Watson kể lại, nhân vậy này biết rõ các vấn đề y học. Xuyên qua các quyển tiểu thuyết, độc giả có thể thấy vị thám tử tài ba luôn phải tìm cách xoa dịu những mối dằn vặt trong nội tâm, kể cả dùng rượu mạnh hay ma túy, bất kể bác sĩ Watson có đồng ý hay không. Trong quyển tiểu sử minh họa do Gallimard xuất bản, độc giả vẫn có thể khám phá nhiều chi tiết mới trong cuộc đời của Sherlock Holmes. Nhân vật này sau mỗi lần phá án thường thốt lên câu nói : ''Elementary, my dear Watson" có nghĩa là ''Đơn giản thôi, anh bạn Watson ơi''. Nhưng theo ông Baudouin Millet, câu nói này không phải là của nhà văn Arthur Conan Doyle. Chuyên gia dịch thuật văn học Anh giải thích : Sự thật là trong các tác phẩm của Arthur Conan Doyle, thám tử Sherlock Holmes chưa từng nói câu "Elementary, my dear Watson" (Đơn giản thôi, anh bạn Watson ơi). Trong truyện, ông dùng nhiều lần chữ "elementary" (chuyện đơn giản thôi) để chọc tức viên thanh tra Lestrade của Scotland Yard. Đoạn đối thoại gần giống nhất nằm trong truyện ngắn "The Adventure of the Crooked Man" (1893). Sau khi kết thúc điều tra, bác sĩ Watson thốt lên một câu ngắn gọn  "Excellent!" (Tuyệt vời!), Sherlock Holmes liền đáp lại: "Elementary" (Đơn giản thôi). Vậy thì câu nói kinh điển ''Elementary, my dear Watson) từ đâu mà có ? Thực ra, câu thoại này xuất phát từ các bản phóng tác, chuyển thể tiểu thuyết gốc thành kịch hay phim. Vào năm 1915, nhà văn hài kịch người Anh P.G. Wodehouse lần đầu tiên viết chính xác câu nói này trong một quyển tiểu thuyết hài hước châm biếm (mang tựa đề Psmith, Journalist). Bộ phim có tiếng nói "The Return of Sherlock Holmes" (1929), do Clive Brook vào vai thám tử tài ba là tác phẩm đầu tiên chính thức cho thấy Sherlock Holmes dùng câu nói này trên màn ảnh lớn. Cũng nhờ vào sự thành công vượt bực của các tác phẩm điện ảnh vào những năm 1930–1940 sau đó (do Basil Rathbone đóng vai chính), câu nói này đã được gắn liền với nhân vật Sherlock Holmes cho đến tận bây giờ. Ngày nay, trong nhiều bản phóng tác truyền hình hay điện ảnh, khán giả luôn chờ đợi Sherlock Holmes thốt lên câu nói "Elementary, my dear Watson". Trong mắt công chúng, nó đã trở thành một biểu tượng chính thức cho dù tác giả Arthur Conan Doyle chưa bao giờ viết ra. Về đời sống cá nhân và quan hệ tình cảm, quyển tiểu sử cho biết tác giả Arthur Conan Doyle không tiết lộ gì nhiều về gia cảnh của Sherlock Holmes. Những chi tiết đời tư của vị thám tử, chủ yếu là do suy diễn hay bịa đặt thêm qua phim ảnh. Về mặt tình cảm, quyển tiểu sử có nhắc đến mối tình ngắn ngủi giữa Sherlock Holmes với một người phụ nữ Mỹ tên là Irene Adler, nhân vật này xuất hiện trong truyện ngắn "A Scandal in Bohemia" và từng được Sherlock yêu mến, quý trọng. Sherlock Holmes chỉ gặp Irene Adler một lần duy nhất, nhưng nhân vật này đã thay đổi cuộc đời của ông, hay ít ra cô ấy dã thay đổi quan niệm của Sherlock Holmess về phụ nữ nói chung. Trong một thời gian dài, Sherlock được mô tả như một người đàn ông ''ghét phụ nữ'' do ông sinh trưởng trong một xã hội trọng nam khinh nữ. Bác sĩ Watson không dùng từ ''ghét phụ nữ'', mà chủ yếu nói rằng Sherlock Holmes thường hay chế giễu người phụ nữ kém thông minh. Chỉ sau khi Sherlock gặp Irene Adler, ông mới bắt đầu coi trọng phụ nữ, xem họ có tài năng ngang hàng với mình, hoặc ít ra trong mắt ông, Irene Adler là một ''kỳ phùng địch thủ'' biết đi những nước cờ cao, biết dùng những chiêu bí hiểm. Tuy không công khai thừa nhận, nhưng Sherlock thầm yêu cô Irene và ông cảm thấy ghen tị với tình nhân cũ của cô là hoàng tử Bohemia. Có một điều thú vị, là nhân vật này tuy chỉ xuất hiện một lần trong truyện ngắn, nhưng sau đó lại đóng một vai trò quan trọng hơn rất nhiều, thông qua các bản phóng tác điện ảnh hay truyền hình. Thám tử Sherlock Holmes đã đem lại cho nhà văn Arthur Conan Doyle tiền tài và danh vọng, nhưng vì nhân vật này có một cái bóng quá lớn, cho nên đã che khuất phần còn lại trong sự nghiệp sáng tác của Conan Doyle. Với thời gian, Sherlock Holmes vượt ra ngoài tầm kiểm soát của tác giả, danh tiếng của vị thám tử này còn cao hơn cả người đã sinh ra mình. Có lần nhà văn Conan Doyle cho biết ông ghét Sherlock vì nhân vật này hạn chế việc phổ biến nhiều tiểu thuyết hay với những nhân vật khác, do vậy Conan Doyle  đã tìm cách ''giết'' nhân vật Sherlock trong truyện, nhưng ông lại bất thành. Quyển tiểu sử minh họa trong tủ sách Pléiade, quyển đầu tiên dành riêng cho một nhân vật hư cấu, đã thuật lại quan hệ khá phức tạp giữa Conan Doyle và Sherlock Holmes. Nhân vật huyền thoại này tiếp tục làm say mê nhiều thế hệ qua phim ảnh hay sách truyện. Đứa con tinh thần của nhà văn nổi tiếng từ lâu đã có cuộc sống riêng.

The Hound of the Baskervilles, Chapter 14, by Arthur Conan Doyle — A Calming Bedtime Story for Sleep & Insomnia | Books at Bedtime A calming bedtime story to help you fall asleep — Chapter 14 of The Hound of the Baskervilles by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, read slowly and softly for anyone lying awake in the small hours. This is the chapter the whole book has been walking towards, and Conan Doyle gave it the same name as the novel itself. Holmes, Watson and Lestrade lie waiting among the rocks above Merripit House while a great white fog rolls in off the mire, thickening minute by minute over the one path they need to keep clear. What follows is the most famous night on Dartmoor in English fiction — and then, quietly, the unwinding of it. The long walk out across the Grimpen Mire the next morning, guided by wands planted in the peat. An old black boot lifted from the slime. An abandoned tin mine on an island in the bog, and the last of Stapleton's secrets laid bare in the daylight. There is no need to follow the plot tonight, and no need to reach the end. Let the rhythm of the Victorian prose and the hush of the moor after the fog has lifted do the work while your body settles. If you drift off in the first few minutes, that is exactly what this reading is for. Books at Bedtime is the sleep story series from Calming Anxiety, hosted by clinical hypnotherapist and former paramedic Martin Hewlett — alongside Coffee Break for the Soul and the daily ten-minute guided meditations. If classic audiobooks help you sleep, this series is written for those long, wakeful hours. You can take the whole library with you — download Anchored on iOS. Access over 3,000 searchable, offline-ready audio sessions, sleep stories with Books at Bedtime, and built-in nightlight features for the small hours.

The Hound of the Baskervilles, Chapter 13: Fixing the Nets, by Arthur Conan Doyle — A Calming Bedtime Story for Sleep & Insomnia | Books at Bedtime A calming bedtime story to help you fall asleep — Chapter 13 of The Hound of the Baskervilles by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, read slowly and softly for anyone lying awake with a busy mind. Tonight the net begins to close. Sherlock Holmes returns to Baskerville Hall, and over a late supper he notices something in an old family portrait on the wall — a face beneath a plumed hat and curling love-locks that he has seen somewhere far more recently. From that single quiet observation, the whole tangled case begins to draw together. Holmes and Watson leave for Coombe Tracey, call upon Mrs Laura Lyons, and lay the last of the traps. Lestrade arrives on the evening express. And Sir Henry is asked to do the one thing he has been warned against all along — to walk home alone across the moor. This is a slow, unhurried reading. There is no need to follow the plot, and no need to reach the end. Let the rhythm of the Victorian prose and the hush of Dartmoor at night do the work while your body settles. If you drift off in the first few minutes, that is exactly what this is for. Books at Bedtime is the sleep story series from Calming Anxiety, hosted by clinical hypnotherapist and former paramedic Martin Hewlett — alongside Coffee Break for the Soul and the daily ten-minute guided meditations.

What begins with frustration turns into a breakthrough—and serves as a good reminder that sometimes the best thing you can do in the woods is slow down, pay attention, and be patient. We also dig into scenting conditions and some of the data I've collected over the past two years, looking at temperature, humidity, and how those conditions can influence what's happening on a track. Rather than simply blaming or praising the dog, the goal is to understand the environment we're asking them to work in. We end  by talking about something every hunter eventually has to learn: you're not hunting the same dog you were last year. Next week opens Pandora's box into how your dog is changing and so are you.

Sleep Story for Insomnia — The Hound of the Baskervilles, Chapter 12: Death on the Moor | A Sherlock Holmes Bedtime Audiobook | Books at Bedtime A sleep story for insomnia, read slowly and softly for anyone lying awake in the small hours. This is Chapter 12 of The Hound of the Baskervilles by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle — Death on the Moor — narrated for Books at Bedtime by Martin Hewlett, clinical hypnotherapist, former frontline paramedic and host of Calming Anxiety. Tonight the mist settles low over the moor and the light drains slowly out of the western sky. Watson sits alone in a stone hut among the ancient dwellings, waiting in the dark for a stranger to return. A step on the gravel. A voice he knows better than any other in the world. And Sherlock Holmes, thin and weathered and quietly amused, is sitting on a stone outside the door. What follows is a long, low-voiced conversation in the twilight — two friends piecing a puzzle together while the chill comes down and the stars come out over Dartmoor. And then, far off across the shadowy plain, a cry. A prolonged yell of horror that turns the blood to ice. The deep, muttered rumble of something running in the darkness. A stumbling chase over broken ground, gorse and boulders and the moon rising behind them. And a shape lying still against the silver stones. This is one of the most atmospheric chapters in all of Sherlock Holmes — night air, granite, moonlight and mist — and it is read here at a deliberately unhurried pace, with long pauses and a lowered voice, so that the story can carry you down into sleep rather than keep you up. You do not need to follow the plot. You do not need to remember a single name. Let the words blur at the edges. Let the moor go quiet. If you drift off long before Holmes and Watson reach the gates of Baskerville Hall, that is exactly what this recording is for — the story will still be here tomorrow night. Best listened to lying down, in the dark, with the volume low. The Hound of the Baskervilles was first published in 1902 and is in the public domain. Books at Bedtime sits alongside the daily ten-minute guided meditations of Calming Anxiety and the reflections of Coffee Break for the Soul — a free library for anxiety relief, insomnia, overthinking and the long nights. You can also take the whole library with you and download Anchored on iOS. Searchable, offline-ready audio sessions, sleep stories with Books at Bedtime, and a built-in nightlight for the small hours.

In this episode, Dave Pelzer takes us back to the early days of his coonhunting career and what hunting looked like when a dog didn't have to carry a fancy pedigree to earn its keep.Dave's coonhunting story began in the spring of 1956 with a $3 coonhound and a lifetime of hunting ahead of him. Nearly seven decades later, Dave has seen just about every side of the sport—from the days of hide hunters and mixed-breed hounds to today's highly specialized dogs and modern electronic tracking systems. We talk about the hide-hunting era and the dogs that made it possible, including mixed-up hounds that might have included bird dog crosses or just about anything else that could put a raccoon in a tree. For Dave, those dogs were judged by what they could do in the woods, not simply by what was written on paper. Over the years, Dave has owned nearly every breed of coonhound, with one exception—he has never owned a Plott. But one breed has continued to pull him back. Dave owned Redbones early in his hunting career and returned to them in the mid-1980s. He has remained with the breed ever since. Dave's connection to the Redbone breed extends beyond the dogs in his kennel. He currently writes the Redbone column in Full Cry Magazine for the American Redbone Coonhound Association, helping preserve the stories, people and traditions of a breed with a long history in the sport. This is a conversation about much more than dogs. It's a look back at how coonhunting has changed, what has stayed the same, and what can be learned from someone who has been turning loose hounds for nearly 70 years.   Sponsors: https://conkeysoutdoors.com  Promo Code TREETALKINTIME5 https://www.facebook.com/groups/1420083161566245  https://www.facebook.com/p/Animal-Housing-Solutions-Inc  https://fullcrymag.com Merch: https://treetalkin.com/collections  Social Media: https://www.youtube.com/@TreeTalkinMedia  https://www.patreon.com/treetalkintime https://www.instagram.com/treetalkinmedia https://www.facebook.com/treetalkinmedia

Sleep Story for Insomnia — The Hound of the Baskervilles, Chapter 11: The Man on the Tor | Arthur Conan Doyle | Books at Bedtime A long, slow bedtime story for sleep and insomnia. Tonight, Chapter 11 of Arthur Conan Doyle's The Hound of the Baskervilles, read aloud by Martin Hewlett — clinical hypnotherapist, former paramedic, and host of the Calming Anxiety podcast. It is the 18th of October, and Dr Watson finally has two threads to pull. A name behind the initials L. L. And a stranger living somewhere among the stone huts on the hillside. He drives to Coombe Tracey to sit across from Laura Lyons and ask her, gently at first and then not gently at all, about a letter that was burned but not quite burned enough. On the road home he is waylaid by old Frankland, flushed with victory and wine, who takes Watson up to his roof, sets his eye to a telescope, and shows him a small figure carrying a bundle across the empty moor. And so the sun goes down over the great Grimpen Mire, gold on one slope and grey shadow on the other, while Watson sits waiting in the dark of a stone hut for its tenant to come home. When the footsteps finally arrive, the voice that speaks is one he knows better than any voice in the world. This is unhurried, low-stimulation listening built for a mind that will not switch off. No sudden music, no startle, no urgency in the telling. Just a steady voice, a Victorian moor, and thirty minutes of somewhere else to be. If sleep comes before Watson lights his cigarette, that is exactly as it should be. You are not expected to reach the end. Best listened to lying down, with the lights out and the volume set a shade lower than feels right. The Hound of the Baskervilles by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was first published in 1902 and is in the public domain. Books at Bedtime is part of the Calming Anxiety family of shows, alongside the daily 10-minute guided meditation and Coffee Break for the Soul. New sleep stories, guided meditations and clinical hypnotherapy sessions arrive every week. Anchored, the companion app to Calming Anxiety, arrives on iOS on the 13th of August 2026 — with a dedicated Books at Bedtime section, offline listening for the nights the signal drops, and a built-in nightlight for the small hours. If this reading helped you sleep, please pass it to someone who lies awake, and leave a 30-second rating or review on Apple Podcasts. It is the single kindest thing you can do to help another tired person find us. Sleep well… and be kind.  

Sleep Story for Insomnia — The Hound of the Baskervilles, Chapter 10: Extract from the Diary of Dr Watson | Arthur Conan Doyle | Books at Bedtime A slow, calming bedtime story for sleep and insomnia. Tonight, Chapter 10 of Arthur Conan Doyle's The Hound of the Baskervilles, read aloud by Martin Hewlett — clinical hypnotherapist, former paramedic, and host of the Calming Anxiety podcast. Dr Watson sets aside his letters to Sherlock Holmes and turns instead to his private diary. It is the 16th of October. The moor is banked in with rolling cloud, the rain drizzles against the windows of Baskerville Hall, and Watson confesses to a weight at his heart — a feeling of impending danger he cannot name. Barrymore the butler comes forward with a grievance, and then with something far more valuable: the memory of a single letter that reached Sir Charles on the morning he died, and the charred scrap of a postscript signed with two initials. L. L. Then the rain sets in, the light fails over the great mire, and a second stranger waits in a stone hut somewhere out on the moor. This is slow-paced, low-stimulation listening designed to quieten a racing mind at the end of the day. There is no jump, no startle, no sudden music — just a steady voice, a Victorian mystery, and a soft place to land. If you struggle to fall asleep, if your thoughts start their loudest work the moment your head hits the pillow, or if you simply want a gentle classic audiobook to drift off to, let this one carry you. Best listened to lying down, lights low, with the volume just a little quieter than feels necessary. You are not expected to reach the end. The Hound of the Baskervilles by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was first published in 1902 and is in the public domain. Books at Bedtime is part of the Calming Anxiety family of shows, alongside the daily 10-minute guided meditation and Coffee Break for the Soul.

Sleep Story for Insomnia — The Hound of the Baskervilles, Chapter 9: The Light Upon the Moor by Arthur Conan Doyle | Books at Bedtime If you can't sleep tonight, let this one carry you down. This is a long, slow sleep story for insomnia — Chapter 9 of Arthur Conan Doyle's The Hound of the Baskervilles, read aloud at a deliberately unhurried pace for anyone lying awake with a racing mind at two in the morning. Read by Martin Hewlett, clinical hypnotherapist and former frontline paramedic. No sudden volume jumps, no startling music, no reason to open your eyes. You are not supposed to follow every word — drifting off halfway through is exactly the point. If you wake in the night, start it again wherever you like. In tonight's chapter, Dr Watson sends his second report from Baskerville Hall. A candle burns at a western window in the small hours. A light answers it from somewhere out on the moor. Watson and Sir Henry sit up through two long, dark vigils to find out who is signalling, and what they uncover on the moor is stranger than either of them expected — a cry on the wind, a chase over wet granite, and a silent figure standing black against the moon. Why classic detective fiction works so well as a sleep aid: the language is rich but the stakes are someone else's. Your brain is given somewhere gentle to rest that isn't your own worry list. That's the whole principle behind Books at Bedtime — a bedtime story for grown-ups who simply cannot switch off. Use this for insomnia relief, for anxiety at night, for shift-work sleep, or just as a quiet audiobook to fall asleep to. Pop it on low, on a sleep timer if you have one, and let the moor do the rest. The Hound of the Baskervilles was first published in 1902 and is in the public domain. Anchored, the Calming Anxiety app, arrives on iOS on 13 August 2026 — with the full Books at Bedtime library, offline listening for when the signal drops, and a soft built-in nightlight for the small hours. Sleep well. And when you wake… be kind.  

Sleep Story for Insomnia — The Hound of the Baskervilles, Chapter 8: First Report of Dr Watson | Sir Arthur Conan Doyle | Books at Bedtime A calming bedtime story for sleep and insomnia, read slowly and softly for anyone lying awake in the dark. Tonight, Books at Bedtime continues The Hound of the Baskervilles by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle with Chapter 8 — the First Report of Dr Watson. The narrative changes shape here. Holmes has stayed behind in London, and from this point onward Watson tells the story through his own letters, written by candlelight from Baskerville Hall and dated the thirteenth of October. He writes of the moor and how its vastness sinks into the soul. Of the prehistoric huts scattered across the hillsides. Of the escaped convict who has not been seen for a fortnight and is surely long gone. Of Sir Henry's growing attachment to Miss Stapleton, and of the curious look of disapproval that crosses her brother's face whenever the baronet pays her attention. There is a walk to the two great weathered stones where the legend of the wicked Hugo is said to have begun. A lunch at Merripit House. An introduction to Mr Frankland of Lafter Hall — red-faced, choleric, ruinously fond of a lawsuit, and lately to be found on his own roof with a telescope, sweeping the moor for a glimpse of the convict. And then, at two o'clock in the morning, a stealthy step in the corridor. A long black shadow. A candle held against the glass of an empty room, and Barrymore staring out into the blackness of the moor. There is some secret business going on in this house of gloom. This is a full-length classic audiobook chapter, read as a sleep story — no sudden music, no jarring endings. Just a familiar Victorian mystery, told at a pace made for drifting off. If you fall asleep before Watson finishes his letter, that is exactly as it should be. The chapter will still be here tomorrow night. Read by Martin Hewlett, clinical hypnotherapist, former paramedic and host of Calming Anxiety — the daily 10-minute guided meditation podcast. Books at Bedtime and Coffee Break for the Soul are the story companions to the daily show, made for the small hours. The Hound of the Baskervilles is in the public domain. Sleep well, my friend. In everything, be kind.

Sleep Story for Insomnia — The Hound of the Baskervilles, Chapter 7: The Stapletons of Merripit House by Arthur Conan Doyle | Books at Bedtime A calming bedtime story for sleep and insomnia, read slowly and gently by Martin Hewlett of Calming Anxiety. This is Chapter 7 of Arthur Conan Doyle's classic Sherlock Holmes mystery, The Hound of the Baskervilles — a free audiobook read designed to quiet a busy mind and carry you softly down into sleep. Morning light floods the mullioned windows of Baskerville Hall, and for a moment the grim impression of the night before is eased away. But Dr Watson has a test to run at the Grimpen post office, and a walk out across the moor that will change everything he thinks he knows. Out among the boulders he meets Mr Jack Stapleton, the naturalist of Merripit House — a man who knows the ground better than anyone, and who leads Watson to the edge of the great Grimpen Mire, where the earth itself waits to swallow the unwary. And then, drifting across the moor, comes a long, low moan that the country folk have a name for. If you struggle with insomnia, anxiety at bedtime, or a mind that will not switch off, this is a story to be listened to in the dark. There is no need to follow every thread. Let the words become a sound to rest inside, and if you drift away before the end, that is exactly as it should be. Part of Books at Bedtime and Coffee Break for the Soul from Calming Anxiety, hosted by clinical hypnotherapist and former paramedic Martin Hewlett — bringing you calm, relaxation and better sleep, one chapter at a time. Sleep well, my friend. And in everything, my friend, be kind.  

Stupid News 8-6-2026 6am …He killed all the fish …Garlic and Herb Ice Cream, anyone? …They got a little bit of the Mississippi Leg Hound in them

Meet Jeannine Peters Jeannine Peters is a certified spiritual director with an MA in Religion and Religious Education from Providence College and an MA in Theology from The Catholic University of America. She is certified in Theology of the Body through the Theology of the Body Institute, trained in Unbound Healing Prayer through Heart of the Father Ministries, and holds a certificate in Spiritual Direction from Divine Mercy University. Jeannine lives in Pennsylvania with her husband and their two daughters. A Story Shaped by "The Hound of Heaven" Jeannine opens up about how Francis Thompson's classic poem "The Hound of Heaven" became the lens through which she understands her own faith journey — a soul running from God, only to be relentlessly, patiently pursued by Him until she finally surrendered. Growing Up in Chaos, Finding God in Lourdes Jeannine shares candidly about growing up in an alcoholic, emotionally abusive household, and how a spontaneous, unplanned visit to Lourdes, France set the stage for one of the most significant turning points in her life — an unplanned pregnancy in her mid-to-late twenties that ultimately drew her back to God. Healing Through Theology of the Body and ACA Jeannine describes how studying Theology of the Body helped her understand her worth and dignity intellectually, while Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACA) gave her the practical tools to actually live out that healing — teaching her how to be authentically herself with God, her husband, and her children. A Miraculous Reunion Thirty-one years after placing her birth daughter for adoption, Jeannine shares the incredible story of how her daughter reached out, and how God orchestrated an unplanned meeting in the same state at the same time — allowing Jeannine to hold her daughter for the first time since birth, on her daughter's birthday. Her Message of Hope Jeannine closes with an encouraging word for anyone struggling to trust God: He is faithful, He never gives up on us, and He meets us exactly where we are, even in our smallest steps of surrender.

Tonight, Books at Bedtime continues Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Hound of the Baskervilles with Chapter 6 — Baskerville Hall — read slowly and softly by Martin Hewlett, host of Calming Anxiety. Dr Watson leaves Baker Street behind and travels down into Devonshire with Sir Henry Baskerville and Dr Mortimer.

There are armed guards at the little wayside station, a convict loose on Dartmoor, and a house of long shadows waiting at the end of the avenue — and in the dead of the night, Watson hears the sob of a woman somewhere inside Baskerville Hall. Let the words carry you. There is nothing to follow and nothing to remember — if you drift off before the end of the chapter, that is exactly what this recording is for. You can always come back to it tomorrow night. This is a classic audiobook reading for relaxation, insomnia relief and deep sleep — part of the Books at Bedtime and Coffee Break for the Soul series from Calming Anxiety, hosted by clinical hypnotherapist and former paramedic Martin Hewlett. Take Calming Anxiety with you anywhere — download Anchored on iOS.

Telling the Story: Part 4 Acts 7:35-53 by William Klock Not very long ago I got into an online discussion with someone about evangelism.  The people I was interacting with were telling me things like, “I don't confront, I just plant seeds” and “We're suppose to share the gospel, not tell the gospel” or “If people are getting mad at you, you're doing it wrong” and “Jesus just loved people.  He wasn't confrontational”.  I found myself wondering if these people read the same Bible I read.  And I was thinking about that whole conversation off and on these last few weeks as I've been working through Stephen's address—his very confrontational address—before the Sanhedrin. Because there's nothing namby-pamby or wishy-washy—or uh, I mean, “non-confrontational”—about Stephen's address.  I expect that if you set Stephen down in our context today and let him do what he did, a lot of modern Christians would be misquoting Matthew 7:1 at him.  You know, “Judge not lest ye be judged.”  But, of course, being confrontational, calling people to repent, proclaiming the good news about Jesus and the truth that he is Lord as something more than just another choice on the religious smorgasbord has nothing to be with being judgemental.  It has everything to do with knowing and having experienced the reality of God's goodness in Jesus and the Spirit and it's about having a vision, a hope of this broken creation—and of humanity—set to rights and God coming to dwell with us forever. We've made our way through Stephen's address over the last three Sundays.  They accused him of blaspheming the torah and the temple and Moses and instead of defending himself, Stephen instead told the story they all knew so well.  But going back to Abraham and working through it all the way to their present day, he showed how the law and the prophets, the torah and the temple had been signposts pointing the people to Jesus the Messiah.  And so it wasn't Stephen who was blaspheming torah and temple—it was them—because they'd rejected Jesus.  The Christians were the true followers of the law and the prophets, the true children of Abraham and Moses, because they recognised that that's what the story was working toward all this time.  But that wasn't what they wanted to hear.  But if we've heard the story that Stephen told, we ought to be prepared.  Rejection is how God often works.  Joseph had been rejected, but God worked something amazing from it.  Moses was rejected, but God worked something amazing from it.  Jesus was rejected, but God worked something amazing from it.  So if Stephen is rejected, we can be confident God will work something amazing from it.  I think they understood, which made them all the more angry, because they understand: if they reject Stephen, they're actually playing right into his narrative.  But they do it anyway. We'll pick up with Acts 7:54.  [Page 1088 in the pew Bibles.]  Luke tells us: “What Stephen said was a blow right to the heart. When they heard it, they gnashed their teeth against him.” Picture them, sitting in their dignified counsel, the priests and leaders of Israel.  But there's no response they can give that won't condemn them, so they just sit there glaring at him as they gnash their teeth. To us that's probably just a picture of rage, but Luke is pulling this image of gnashing teeth from the Old Testament—particularly from the Psalms—where it's always the wicked who gnash their teeth at the righteous or the wicked who gnash their teeth in frustration, aguish, and rage at God after finding themselves on the wrong end of his judgement.  Luke wants to make it clear that these are the leaders of Israel—the men who were supposed to know and to represent God—but instead they've rejected his Messiah and are revealing their wickedness.  Think of Jesus in John 8, addressing a crowd of angry scribes and Pharisees.  “We've got one father and that's God,” they yelled at him.  And he said back, “If God were really your father, you would love me, because I come from God…No, you are from your father, but your father is the devil.” And then, in stark contrast, Luke describes Stephen in verse 55: “He, however, was filled with the holy spirit, and looked steadily up into heaven. There he saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at God's right hand. ‘Look!' he said. ‘I can see heaven opened, and the son of man standing at God's right hand!' They've rejected Jesus.  They sit there, almost demonically gnashing their teeth at him—the posture of the wicked who stand condemned before God.  And Stephen stands before them full of the Spirit and with the very vision of heaven those men had longed for.  Luke said at the beginning of all this that as they looked at Stephen his face was like the face of an angel.  And Stephen shouts out to them, “Look!”  I can imagine them looking around, wondering what he's insisting they look at, because of course, no one else is seeing what he sees.  But the fact that his own face had been transformed—or even transfigured—says that he must have been seeing something and they knew it.  And he goes on, “I can see heaven opened and the son of man standing at God's right hand!” I think that whenever I've read this, I've tended to picture Stephen looking up, pointing past the ceiling of the room they were in, as if he's been given a glimpse into—you know—heaven—up there.  But the more I think about the imagery and context here, I don't think that's it.  I think we should be thinking back to episodes like the one in 2 Kings 6.  Israel was under attack by the Arameans.  The Prophet Elisha and his servant, Gehazi, were staying in the city of Dothan when it was surrounded by the Aramean army.  They woke up in the morning to see the huge army surrounding the city and Gehazi began to worry.  “What shall we do?” he asked Elisha.  And Elisha calmly told him, “Don't be afraid, for those who are with us are great than those who are with them.”  I picture Gehazi standing there wringing his hands.  And so Elisha prays, and as he prays, Gehazi's eyes are opened and on the hills all around he sees horses and chariots of fire surrounded the Aramean army.  And that heavenly army didn't arrive when Elisha prayed, like heaven, it was there all along.  The miracle was simply God's gracious allowance to open the eyes of Elisha's servant to see it. It's a reminder that heaven isn't up there, some far away place.  Heaven is here.  God created earth and heaven to overlap, for us to live in his presence.  Our sin has driven a wedge between the two.  But God and his realm are never far away.  As Gehazi was reassured that day as he saw a glimpse of heaven, so Stephen was reassured as the stood before the Sanhedrin.  As the highest court of the Jew was about to render a judgement against him and condemn him to death, I think we should understand what he saw as a sudden revelation of the heavenly court.  And there stood Jesus, the son of man.  The son of man was the character in Daniel's vision who rose to take his throne at God's right hand and from there to quelled the angry kings and nations that raged against God.  And now Stephen sees the ascended Jesus, not now sitting on his throne as Lord, but standing at the right hand of God, the great judge, to act as his advocate and witness.  The court of Israel was condemning him to death, but the heavenly court, the heavenly judge was ruling in his favour. What's interesting about this comparison between the chariots of fire and Stephen's vision of the heavenly court, is the result, the aftermath, the response of God's man.  Because the chariots of fire didn't swoop down to crush the Aramean army.  Instead, Elisha prayed again and God blinded the Arameans.  And Elisha then went out and convinced the blinded Arameans to follow him to Samaria, where Elisha prayed again and the Lord opened their eyes.  The king wanted to slaughter Elisha's “prisoners”, but Elisha warned the king.  It wasn't the king who defeated and captured them, God had done that.  So instead the king prepared a feast for them and then sent them on their way home.  This was Israel in one of her finer moments, obeying God, being light to nations, making known the grace and glory of God.  And I'll come back to it shortly. I think Luke's main point in telling us about this heavenly vision of Stephen's ties in closely with the theme of Jesus and the church being the new temple—something that comes up over and over through Acts.  Remember that for the Jews the temple was the supposed to be the place, not just where heaven and earth overlapped, but the thin place between them where God's people could meet him.  Not fully, of course.  His presence was in the holy of holies where no one could go.  But if they offered the sacrifices that would purify them from the stain of sin and death, they could draw near.  The irony was that God's presence had been gone from the temple for hundreds of years.  They'd rebuilt it when they returned from their exile in Babylon, but God's presence had never come back.  As if God was hinting to them there was something new and better to come.  And Stephen's been preaching on that theme.  The old temple was a signpost pointing to Jesus and to a new temple, not this time made with hands, but established by God himself and filled with is Spirit.  And in as much as I expect this miracle vision of the heavenly court was a gift to Stephen to encourage him—even though he doesn't seem to have needed much of that kind of encouragement—the gospel was enough—it highlighted to everyone present that day the thing that Isreal so longed for in the temple—the convergence of heaven and earth—was now happening in Jesus and his people. And while Stephen's vision seems to be unique in Christian history, we see saint after saint, martyr after martyr going to their deaths with the same sort of calm and composure that we see in Stephen.  I have to wonder if God has given others similar visions to which, for obvious reasons, we simply aren't privy.  Polycarp, Perpetua and Felicity, Ignatius, Thomas Cranmer, Nichols Ridley, Hugh Latimer, Maximillian Kolbe—all died with the gospel and prayers for those who killed them on their lips.  Brothers and Sisters, that's the witness of men and women who are confident in the gospel, in the lordship of Jesus, and in the hope of resurrection and new creation.  These are men and women who understood what the gospel is—not good advice, not another option to try on the religious smorgasbord, not something you should give a try; they knew it to be true and they knew it to be truly good news—the way, the truth, and the life.  They knew the grace of God so powerfully, that they went to their deaths praying that those who killed them would one day know it. So Luke goes on in verse 57: “But they yelled at him at the tops of their voices, blocked their ears, and made a concerted dash at him.  They bundled him out of the city and stoned him.  The witnesses laid down their cloaks at the feet of a young man named Saul.  So they stoned Stephen.  “Lord Jesus,” he cried out, “receive my spirit.”  Then he knelt down and shouted at the top of his voice, “Lord, don't let this sin stand against them.”  Once he had said this, he fell asleep. “Now Saul was giving his consent to Stephen's death. That very day a great persecution was started against the church in Jerusalem. Everyone except the apostles was scattered through the lands of Judaea and Samaria. Devout men buried Stephen and made great lamentation over him. 3 But Saul was ravaging the church, and entering house after house, he dragged off men and women and committed them to prison.” It's not just that Stephen stood firm on the gospel before the Sanhedrin and it's not just that he had a vision of heaven in which he was vindicated and could go to his death with calm and confidence.  His prayer for his enemies speaks volumes—it's a powerful witness—to the gospel itself. I can't image what it was like for Stephen.  In high school I was hit in the throat by a softball trying to catch someone's pop fly.  It hurt. Apparently I was lucky it didn't crush my trachea.  And that was a softball.  Stephen stood there—and I expect pretty quickly knelt and then lay there—as people threw rocks at him.  The biggest rocks they could find and still throw with force.  It was an absolutely brutal way to die and I can't imagine what kind of sadistic person would take joy in doing it to someone.  I guess that's yet more testimony to the influence the gospel has had on our culture.  And there, at a little distance stood Saul of Tarsus, having given the green light to the angry mob, supervising them as they threw their stones.  Keeping guard over their coats.  But as the rocks were hitting Stephen—imagine a rock breaking your jaw, crushing your nose, breaking your skull—Stephen cried out to God.  He cried out for mercy on those who were killing him. And that stands out as another witness to the gospel.  Because the whole going to a martyr's death, calmly and confidently and stoically, that's admirable, but other people had done that before Stephen.  About two centuries before, in the days when the Greek king, Antiochus Epiphanes, ruled Judaea, there had been a lot of Jewish martyrs.  Antiochus wanted to break the Jews, get them to forsake their “law”.  Get them to become more Greek, and they'd be an easier people to rule.  And so he desecrated their temple.  He made it illegal for them to circumcise their sons.  And his soldiers would round up the openly rebellious and force them to eat pork on pain of death.  2 Maccabees 7 tells the story of one family of Jewish heroes.  Seven brothers are tortured and, one by one, martyred as they stand firm in their faith, as they refuse the soldiers' order to eat pork.  They bore witness to their faith in God, to their hope in the future resurrection of the dead, but they also call down horrible curses on those pagan soldiers as they died.  With their last breath, they called down God's judgement on their enemies. But Stephen: Like those Jewish martyrs, he stood firm in faith.  He warned his accusers and his killers of God's coming judgement.  But he didn't lay it down as a curse.  He laid it down as a warning, a call to repentance—and with his last breath, a prayer for grace.  One of those Maccabean martyrs had yelled out, “This mighty power will torture you and your descendants!”  And Stephen, raised on those same stories of the martyrs, he saw that same divine persistence, but in light of Jesus he saw it very differently.  Stephen knew there is no escaping the Hound of Heaven.  But instead of divine judgment pursuing his enemies, he saw divine grace hounding them, the redeeming love of God pursing them—and if they would not be caught by it—it would pursue and catch and enfold and transform their descendants.  Somehow, someday the grace of God in Jesus, the renewing power of the gospel would catch them, because—Stephen was absolutely certain—that power will one day change the entire world.  That was the point of his powerful speech before them, after all.  From Abraham to Joseph, from Jospeh to Moses, from Moses to Jesus.  That's what the story is about: the grace and glory of the God of Israel to save his creation—not just Abraham's family—but all of creation.  It's about God, in love, giving himself to purify us from the stain of our rebellion, so that he can come home to live with us.  To restore heaven and earth.  And that gospel knowledge, that good news changed everything for Stephen. Brothers and Sisters, think about this.  Imagine people knew nothing of Jesus or the gospel or Christianity other than the astounding fact that Christian martyrs go to their deaths, not hurling curses, but calling down blessing and forgiveness from heaven on the very people torturing and killing them.  That, in itself, says something powerful about Jesus and the gospel and Christianity.  That in itself, would, I think, make a lot of people constructively curious.  That this is what we see from Christian martyrs down through history is witness to the gospel and to the very nature of our faith in the God of love who shed his blood to reconcile his enemies to himself.  A witness to the Jesus who, as he died on the cross, prayed that those who killed him would know God's forgiveness. Would that we, Brothers and Sisters, would be captivated by this same gospel of grace and the same sure and certain hope of reconciliation and resurrection and new creation.  Because our generation of Christians seems to be losing it.  We no longer think of the gospel as good news to proclaim, but as good advice to share, because Jesus is no longer the way, the truth, and the life, but now a way, a truth, a life.  We no longer have a clear hope and vision of creation set to rights by Jesus, maybe because we twisted this idea of “heaven” into a distant, ethereal, disembodied realm, instead of God's realm, present, but unseeable because of our sin.  And so we're afraid to speak of sin as that great evil that keeps us from God and we're afraid to call people to repentance and we're afraid to speak of that day when God will, once and for all, wipe the last traces of sin and evil from the world, to heal the breach between heaven and earth, to pull out the wedge we've so firmly driven between them.  And, in the same way, having consigned Jesus' lordship to a distant heaven, we fear to proclaim that most basic Christian creed—the one carved on our lychgate: “Jesus is Lord”.  Lord, not just in a far away heaven, not just someday in a far away future, but here and now. Brothers and Sisters, we need Stephen's witness just as much as the Sanhedrin did that day.  I pray that we would take it to heart.  And if we lack his confidence, if we lack his hope, if we lack his vision, or if—in contrast to Stephen—we find ourselves gritting our teeth in anger and calling down curses on our enemies, that the Lord would give us a clear vision of his grace, of his kingdom, of his glory.  Amen.

Welcome back to The Rotten Horror Picture Show Podcast, where this week Clay and Amanda sink their teeth into one of the defining horror films of the 1970s: The Omen. Richard Donner's chilling classic follows diplomat Robert Thorn as he slowly realizes that his adopted son Damien may not just be a troublesome child, but the literal Antichrist. Along the way, there are mysterious deaths, creepy priests, prophetic photographers, and one of cinema's all-time great scores by Jerry Goldsmith. Clay and Amanda unpack the film's lasting legacy, its influence on religious horror, and why The Omen remains every bit as unsettling nearly fifty years after its release.Now, there's one thing that's always bothered me about this movie. Everyone keeps talking about the "Hounds of Hell" like they're some horrifying, unspeakable evil. Have you seen the dog? That is an adorable animal! Big floppy ears, shiny coat, excellent posture. Who's the good infernal boy? You are! Yes, you are!The characters keep reacting like, "Dear God, it's the Hound of Hell!" Meanwhile, I'm over here wondering if he's accepting belly rubs. Honestly, the poor thing gets a terrible reputation just because of where he's from. If he were called the "Friendly Neighborhood Dog of Moderate Concern," everyone would be lining up with tennis balls.Sure, he bares his teeth a little. Sure, he occasionally appears in graveyards and helps usher in the apocalypse. Nobody's perfect. My uncle Larry once ruined Thanksgiving by microwaving fish, and we still invite him over.Clay and Amanda, thankfully, spend their time discussing the film's genuinely terrifying atmosphere, Damien's unsettling presence, and why The Omen has become such a cornerstone of supernatural horror. I'll be listening closely... while quietly wondering if someone remembered to pack a few dog treats.Because I don't care if you're from Heaven, Earth, or the fiery pits of eternal damnation—every good dog deserves a scratch behind the ears. Even if he does technically work for Satan.

Moon is finally back from Europe... barely.After rocking massive Goldfinger shows in England, Moon thought he was headed home with some great vacation stories. Instead, he found himself trapped in a German airport nightmare involving missed connections, endless lines, angry travelers, confused airline employees, and enough frustration to test the patience of a saint. If you've ever been stranded while traveling, you'll feel every second of this story.Of course, this being The Rizzuto Show, we can't simply discuss international travel like normal adults.Before Moon can even finish explaining how he got stuck in Frankfurt, the conversation somehow derails into an in-depth investigation of nose hair trimming technology. Which trimmer works best? Which one is lying to you? Can any of them actually reach the mysterious "front cave" region of your nostrils? Important questions are asked. Very few are answered.Moon also shares stories from London, Paris, the European heat wave, questionable airport experiences, and the realization that saving money on flights sometimes costs your sanity. Along the way, the gang debates the worst possible movies to watch while flying on a German airline, and somehow turns Saving Private Ryan into an accidental international incident.Meanwhile, back in St. Louis, the crew talks about the vandalism at Steve's Hot Dogs and why supporting local businesses matters when they're already battling construction, rising costs, and random acts of destruction. The conversation then drifts into National Hot Dog Day planning because apparently that's how professional broadcasters handle serious topics.And just when you think things couldn't get any weirder...A Maryland Heights Hooters becomes the setting for one of the most bizarre crime stories imaginable. Let's just say one customer took "dining in" a little too literally. The crew breaks down the unbelievable details and wonders how someone ends up making that series of life decisions.Also in this episode:Moon's European vacation recapThe great nose hair trimmer debateGerman airport survival tacticsTravel horror storiesSt. Louis hot dog newsGas price hunting strategiesForest Park getting national recognitionStrange airline movie choicesHooters headlines nobody asked forThe usual daily chaos from Rizz and the gangIf you enjoy sarcastic humor, ridiculous travel disasters, bizarre news stories, and a group of friends getting distracted every five seconds, this episode delivers exactly what you'd expect from your favorite daily comedy show.Thanks for making The Rizzuto Show part of your day. Whether you're listening at work, in traffic, or while aggressively researching nose hair trimmers, we're glad you're here.The daily comedy show continues with another episode full of travel fails, unexpected detours, weird news, and the kind of conversations that probably shouldn't happen on a morning radio show.Moon got rejected by the Blue Angels. That's right. After years of dreaming about flying with the legendary flight team, filling out paperwork, getting medical forms completed, and generally doing everything he was supposed to do (allegedly), the Navy said, "Nah." The crew spends way too much time trying to figure out who got the spot instead, throwing out names ranging from Cardinals legends to local celebrities and basically anybody who isn't Moon.Then things somehow get even weirder.The gang debates one of the most ridiculous music questions ever created: if you could only listen to one genre for an entire year, would you choose mumble rap, post-9/11 patriotic country, Christian death metal, or AI-generated EDM? The answers reveal way more about everyone's personalities than anyone intended, and somehow Christian death metal becomes the surprise hero of the conversation.In Crap On Celebrities, the celebrity chaos is firing on all cylinders. Diddy drama takes another bizarre turn, Sabrina Carpenter gets a restraining order against an alleged stalker who apparently thought hiding in a Prius was a good plan, Taylor Swift fans once again convince themselves they're decoding secret messages from the universe, and The Black Crowes find themselves at the center of a USA chant controversy.The crew also dives into the latest music news, including Mick Jagger somehow still having more energy than people half his age, a Gene Wilder biopic that already has everyone fan-casting, and the ongoing debate about whether Val Kilmer was a misunderstood genius or simply impossible to work with.Then comes the emotional destruction.A list of the most heartbreaking animal moments in movie history sends everyone spiraling. From Artax sinking into the Swamp of Sadness in The NeverEnding Story, to Mufasa's death in The Lion King, to Homeward Bound, Fox and the Hound, I Am Legend, and more childhood trauma than any morning radio show should legally be allowed to revisit before noon. If you've ever cried because of a fictional animal, prepare to relive every painful second.It's another completely normal day with The Rizzuto Show, which means absolutely nothing is normal.The gang welcomes Ashley Vogt and NHL veteran Jamie Rivers into the studio to celebrate two massive life events: a surprise Nashville engagement and the launch of Synergy Integrated Healthcare. But before anyone can get sentimental, the show immediately derails into a debate about throwing apple cores out of moving vehicles and whether that technically makes you a criminal. Spoiler alert: Missouri law apparently has thoughts.Meanwhile, Moon relives the heartbreak of being passed over for a coveted Blue Angels flight after thinking he was officially cleared for takeoff. The crew spends an alarming amount of time trying to figure out who could possibly be worthy of stealing his seat. Steve Ewing? John Goodman? Wayne Gretzky? Andy Cohen? The investigation continues.As if that wasn't enough, the crew checks in on the internet-famous guy attempting to live in a room for an entire year while livestreaming the experience. He's lost weight, picked up hobbies, and somehow still has fewer viewers than some houseplants on social media. The discussion quickly turns into a philosophical debate about personal sacrifice, family life, and whether staying locked in a room sounds like punishment or a vacation.Then comes Alpha-Gal Syndrome, the tick-borne condition that could potentially rob meat lovers of everything they hold dear. Lern takes a suspicious amount of joy in imagining a future where Riz can't eat meatballs in Europe, while the rest of the room tries desperately not to anger the tick gods.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Serial exposer charged for indecent act at Maryland Heights HootersForest Park Named Best City Park in the USA…Again!Outdoor balloon releases illegal in Louisiana starting in AugustSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
