A gigantic cigar-shaped craft shadowed a NATO airliner over the Atlantic in 1963, the same year similar motherships appeared over Australia, Canada, and the skies of a Britain overrun by headless creatures and desecrated churches.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/1963DarkForcesREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p87kmstFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: A “gigantic cigar-shaped UFO” is spotted over the Atlantic in 1963, but the witness is so terrified by her experiences that it takes her twenty years to come forward to tell her story. And in that same year, elsewhere in the United Kingdom, people were dealing with dark, paranormal, even satanic forces - with numerous events that still remain unexplained.CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = The Foreboding00:01:18.783 = Show Open00:02:35.157 = The 1963 Atlantic UFO – Part 100:16:32.034 = The 1963 Atlantic UFO – Part 2 ***00:32:15.933 = 1963: Dark Paranormal Forces Invade The UK – Part 1 ***00:50:26.206 = 1963: Dark Paranormal Forces Invade The UK – Part 2 ***00:56:44.362 = Show Close*** = Begins immediately after inserted ad breakLISTEN ON PODCAST APPS: Look for this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Amazon Music, Pandora, TuneIn Radio, and other podcast apps.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: January 05, 2022This episode of Weird Darkness opens over the north Atlantic in May 1963, where a NATO English-language secretary based in Paris, flying on a near-empty DC-8 carrying fifty staff from Orly Airport to ministerial meetings in Ottawa, looked from her window and saw a dark grey, torpedo-shaped object six to seven thousand feet below the plane — its rear cut off sharply and squarely, with no wings, windows, or visible propulsion — before it vanished into cloud and the aircraft dropped into violent turbulence. Terrified and certain no one else aboard had noticed, she said nothing for almost twenty years, until a 1980 letter to Flying Saucer Review brought the account to light and the magazine published it the following year. The segment threads her sighting into a longer record of cigar-shaped craft: Melvin Vagle Jr. and his wife spotting a windowed object hovering over a plowed field near Grafton, Nebraska on November 22, 1961; Miss Footner tracking a silver, hundred-foot craft over Saanich Mountain near Victoria, British Columbia in early 1960; Reverend Lionel Browning and his wife photographing a grey mothership over Cressy, Tasmania on October 4, 1960 as smaller discs darted out of the clouds and explosions later shook nearby houses; RCMP Constable James Blackwood watching a cigar-shaped object near Clarenville, Newfoundland on November 26, 1978 mirror his patrol car's flashing lights for nearly two hours; a couple camping at Hexham, New South Wales in late December 1984 seeing discs swarm a lit craft that seemed to carry a helmeted figure; and an anonymous Swedish driver on Route 55 near Orsundsbro in June 1985 stepping out of her car to study a windowed craft she first mistook for a police helicopter.From there the episode crosses to England, where the night of November 16, 1963 brought four teenagers walking home from a dance past Sandling Park near Hythe, Kent face to face with a human-sized, headless creature with wings on its back; seventeen-year-old John Flaxton and eighteen-year-old Mervyn Hutchinson had first watched a bright gold oval descend behind the trees, and Flaxton felt a sudden, unexplained cold as the thing came at them through the woodland. The same evening in Saltwood, Tony Harrison and three companions saw a glowing oval and a figure in a scarlet cloak holding a flickering lantern, and within days John McGoldrick discovered three giant footprints, each roughly two feet long, near the spot where Keith Croucher had reported an identical object over a football field. The story then opens out into a year-long British wave: a flying saucer interfering with a woman's car headlights near Bluebell Hill in Kent; two men setting up a tripod that fired colored lights into the sky over the Britannia Barracks in Norwich; a market researcher named Joelle in Castleton encountering men who claimed to be extraterrestrials with bases on two of Jupiter's moons; and a dome-shaped craft that reportedly landed at RAF Cosford on December 10, washing the base in green light before vanishing. Stranger creatures shared the year — the Surrey Puma and other big cats stalking Shooter's Hill in London from July 18, a half-man, half-horse centaur seen in Sefton Park by witnesses including a police officer, a bulldog-headed monster rising beside two fishermen on Loch Ness, and a dinosaur-like animal that scattered seals along Cardigan Bay and left a half-eaten carcass behind. The episode closes on a darker thread of occult activity: two children found playing with a human skull taken from the ruined St. Mary's Church at Clophill in Bedfordshire, where Maltese crosses, cockerel feathers, and six tampered women's graves were uncovered; six decapitated horse heads and a cow, their jaws wrenched apart, discovered in Bluebell Woods at Caddington; clay effigies pierced with thorns and a sheep's head studded with thirteen thorns nailed up at Castle Rising in Norfolk; and a group of self-styled Devil worshippers interrupted mid-ritual at an active church in Westham, Sussex on December 7 — all set against a 1963 that began with one of the worst winters on record, claimed Labour leader Hugh Gaitskell and the poet Sylvia Plath, saw Ian Brady and Myra Hindley begin the Moors murders, and ended weeks after the assassination of President Kennedy.

Hundreds of thousands of years ago, deep in the mountains of the Yukon, a ground squirrel pooped. That scat stayed frozen for millenia—until very recently, when researchers thawed it out and realized it was a literal data dump. They found traces of a surprising number of animals and plants, providing a detailed snapshot of life during the last ice age. Flora talks with biomolecular archaeologist Tyler Murchie about the gold mine that is ancient squirrel poop. And, if you liked our poop jokes, you'll want to hear how two different types of laughter are processed in the brain. Think big belly laughs versus polite chuckles in conversation. Ira chats with neuroscientist Sophie Scott about how these laughs originate and why we need them both. Guests: Dr. Tyler Murchie is a biomolecular archaeologist at the Hakai Institute in British Columbia and McMaster University in Ontario, Canada. Dr. Sophie Scott is a professor of cognitive neuroscience at University College London in England.  Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.

After building Sacred Rides into one of the top mountain bike adventure companies in the world, Mike Brcic exited the business he had spent 23 years creating. The celebration did not last long. In this episode, Mike shares that the emotional high from the signed purchase agreement and wire transfer lasted about eight hours before the deeper question arrived: Now what? Mike joins Jerome Myers for a powerful conversation about founder burnout, post-exit identity, and the difference between building for achievement and building from alignment. They explore why founders often lose energy when they become disconnected from the customer, the company's purpose, and the work that actually lights them up. Mike also shares how his post-exit journey led him to create Wayfinders, a company that designs immersive experiences to help leaders reconnect with themselves, others, nature, and something larger than achievement. From the mountains of British Columbia to monasteries in Bhutan, this conversation is an invitation to rethink what success means after the exit. Because the real question is not just whether you can sell the business. The real question is: Who will you be when it is gone?

In this episode of The Jess Larsen Show on Innovation & Leadership, Jess sits down with Dan Eberhard, Founder & CEO of Koho, one of Canada's most exciting fintech companies. Dan shares how Koho grew from a scrappy idea challenging Canada's powerful banking system into a company with 2 million customers, hundreds of millions raised, and a real shot at building the next great bank in Canada. Dan opens up about his unconventional path from growing up in a small mountain town in British Columbia to building wind farms, selling his first company, and eventually launching Koho after seeing how much wealth traditional financial products were extracting from everyday Canadians. Jess and Dan dive into the realities of building a fintech company in a market dominated by major banks, including the early grind of raising money, convincing partners like Visa and People's Trust, nearly running out of cash, and moving the company to Toronto after an investor ultimatum. Dan also breaks down how Koho thinks about product-market fit, customer behavior, fundraising, leadership, and building through chaos. This is a powerful conversation about entrepreneurship, financial freedom, resilience, and what it really takes to build a company that can challenge an entrenched industry.

First Nations and Métis leaders in Alberta are actively opposing the province’s secession movement. Alberta will hold a referendum this October on whether to separate from Canada. Premier Danielle Smith is in a war of words with First Nations leaders and faces legal challenges from tribes for pushing forward with the vote. Smith publicly admonished tribal leaders to “check themselves” after the main provincial First Nations chiefs organization said Smith's actions amounted to “treason”. So far, the public overwhelmingly opposes separation, but the debate is highlighting a very real question whether the provincial government can actually act on separation in light of historic treaties signed with the British Crown long before Alberta was established. GUESTS Chief Troy Knowlton (Piikani), Chief of the Piikani Nation and president of the Blackfoot Confederacy Danette Starblanket (Star Blanket Cree), assistant professor with the Johnson Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy at the University of Regina Bruce McIvor (Métis), founder and senior partner at First Peoples Law LLP and an adjunct professor at the University of British Columbia's Allard School of Law Matthew Wildcat (Ermineskin Cree), assistant professor and director of Indigenous Governance in the Faculty of Native Studies at the University of Alberta Jon Eagle Sr. (Hunkpapa Lakota and Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate), former tribal historic preservation officer for the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe Break 1 Music: Old Alberta (song) Blue Moon Marquee (artist) Scream, Holler, and Howl (album) Break 2 Music: Feels Like [feat.

Today we're talking about something that can make or break the parenting experience: how we align with our partners in raising our kids. My guest is clinical counselor Martina Nova, author of the new book Same Page Parenting, where she offers a practical framework for helping couples move out of blame and into more honest, connected conversations about parenting. In our conversation, Martina and I explore what gets in the way of alignment, from our own histories and fears to the added layers of neurodivergent parenting, navigating differences around discipline, digital habits, and decision-making, and what it takes to stay connected as our kids grow into adulthood. Martina shares thoughtful questions and practical strategies to help couples better understand each other's perspectives and build a more intentional, collaborative approach to parenting.   About Martina Nova Martina Nova is a Registered Clinical Counsellor based in British Columbia and the founder of NovaCare Therapy. She specializes in working with individuals, parents and couples navigating trauma, ADHD, people-pleasing, and early attachment patterns. Martina helps couples move out of blame and into more honest conversations about parenting, emotional needs, and relationship dynamics. In addition to her clinical work, Martina is an author and educator who creates practical tools to help couples communicate more openly about the realities of family life. Her work highlights how many parenting conflicts are less about discipline strategies and more about the histories, fears, and values each partner brings into parenting. Martina regularly shares mental health education through media, speaking, and social platforms, helping parents feel less alone in the complexities of modern parenting. Things you'll learn from this episode  How intentional communication and aligning values create a stronger foundation for parenting and partnership Why using therapy-informed questions helps parents unpack their upbringing, beliefs, and evolving identities How practical tools like weekly check-ins and family-wide conversations foster connection and collaboration Why recognizing and supporting neurodivergence in both parents and children is essential for healthy dynamics How navigating outside pressures, social media, and autonomy supports long-term trust with kids Why maintaining the parent-child relationship into adulthood requires ongoing reflection, flexibility, and shared tools Resources mentioned  Martina Nova's website, Novacare Therapy Same Page Parenting: Align with Your Partner to Raise Happy, Confident, and Resilient Kids by Martina Nova Novacare Therapy Resources Page Martina Nova on Instagram The Gottman Institute Dr. Ross Greene on Using CPS with Very Young Kids (Tilt Parenting podcast) Dr. Ken Ginsburg on Lighthouse Parenting — Loving Guidance for an Enduring Bond (Tilt Parenting podcast) Learn more about your ad choices.

Paige Alms was born in British Columbia, moved to Maui when she was nine, found surfing, found surf contests, and, around the age of 15, found big waves. They would become her forte, specifically Jaws, located not far from her home in Haiku. She spent a lot of time out there, riding waves of course, but also learning the lineup. It paid off. In 2015, she knifed her way into a bomb, angled high, and got terrifically barreled. That year she won the Women's Best Overall Performance at the WSL Big Wave Awards. In 2016 and 2017 she was named big-wave world champion. Alms is a three-time winner of the Peahi Challenge—in 2016, 2017, and 2019. She's the subject of The Wave I Ride, a feature-length documentary about her surfing life. In 2023, she became one of the first women to compete in The Eddie.  Alms lives in Maui with her longtime partner/shaper, Sean Ordonez. She continues to push the boundaries of the riding giant surf while also helping to teach ocean safety through Big Wave Risk Assessment Group courses.  In this episode of Soundings, Alms sits down with host Jamie Brisick to talk about paddling out to Jaws for the first time, training, the evolution of big-wave surfing, ocean safety, and competing in The Eddie.

Her new book takes her work even further into how individuals and institutions can confront history and move toward meaningful change.Terri shares stories of early work at IBM, Intel, and L'Oréal Canada that both strengthened culture and moved the bottom line. She also speaks about her collaboration with the Menlo Park Police Department, where empathy became a practical tool for healing divides, improving communication, and synthesizing multiple perspectives across the city council, police, and the community. Terri shows us that empathy isn't a buzzword, a trend, or a “nice to have” in today's polarized world—it's a leadership competency, a community-building tool, and a catalyst for true connection and accountability.To access the episode transcript, go to www.TheEmpathyEdge.com, search by episode title.Listen in for…Where we actually are today in our quest for empathetic leadership and more human social systems, what's shifted since her first book, and what still needs to be done.The essential role empathy plays in DEIB and race relations, and why DEI is not some new concept from 2020. Real tactical guidance for how to create brave and safe spaces in your team or community.

Leanne ten Brinke: Poisonous People Leanne ten Brinke is an Associate Professor at the University of British Columbia, where she directs the Truth and Trust Lab. Her research investigates trust, deception, and dark personality traits across diverse populations—from incarcerated individuals to hedge fund managers and politicians. She reveals how dark personality traits shape our institutions and relationships, while offering practical strategies to recognize and counteract their harmful influence. Her book is titled Poisonous People: How to Resist Them and Improve Your Life (Amazon, Bookshop)*. If you are a leader, you are going to deal with poisonous people. Sometimes they will show up as clients, sometimes your boss, sometimes your peers, and sometimes the people you manage. Regardless of where they show up, this conversation with Leanne will help you handle this tough dynamic. Key Points Dark traits exist on a spectrum. While only 1% of the population rises to a clinical level of psychopathology, 10-20% of the population has a dark personality profile. There are many more people with psychopathy per capita in senior management positions than in the general population. Poisonous people generally aren't interested in shifting their personality. As such, you will not change them. Given that reality, aim to better manage the relationship. Establish clear boundaries with poisonous people and put things in writing you might normally assume. Dark personalities are really good at exploiting unspoken norms. Find ways to create win-wins with poisonous people. They don't do well with trade-offs, because they don't like to lose anything. Avoid face-to-face negotiations with them. Their charm and charisma will win you over in the moment. Text-based dialogue will help you objectively negotiate better. Use the carrot instead of the stick. Reward good behavior when it happens (just not by giving them power over others).

Today we're looking at a very interesting policy announcement out of British Columbia. The federal government, working with the province, has announced a plan to purchase more than 2,000 unsold condo units from developers in the Vancouver market and convert them into affordable housing. The reported scale is roughly 2,200 units, with a broader financing package in the billions of dollars. This follows a similar Ontario announcement, where 2,200 condo units are to be converted into rental apartments, including 550 affordable rental homes. At first glance, this looks elegant. Developers have newly built inventory that is not selling. At the same time, households are struggling to find housing they can afford. So why not match the two problems and turn them into one solution?-------------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)

Editor – Greg Ng BACKROOMS editor Greg Ng joins The Rough Cut to discuss cutting a film built around liminal spaces, analog horror, slow-burn tension and the challenge of turning an internet-born phenomenon into a feature-length cinematic experience. Directed by Kane Parsons, BACKROOMS expands on the world Parsons first created through his viral YouTube videos, where endless yellow corridors, fluorescent hums, distorted VHS textures and uncanny architecture became the foundation for a very specific kind of dread. The feature stars Chiwetel Ejiofor as Clark, a furniture store owner whose discovery of a strange passageway pulls him into the Backrooms.  Co-starring with Ejiofor is Renate Reinsve as Mary, his therapist, whose role in the story grows increasingly central as the film moves deeper into questions of memory, perception and psychological uncertainty. One of the biggest challenges was finding the right editorial language for a film where the space itself often functions as a main character. Greg discusses how the film's pacing intentionally allows characters to move through the Backrooms in near real time, preserving the hypnotic quality of Kane's original work. Rather than cutting quickly from one dramatic beat to the next, the edit often lets the audience remain inside the space long enough for the atmosphere, sound and uncertainty to take hold. GREG NG Based out of Vancouver, British Columbia. Greg tries to maintain a balanced diet of both narrative and documentary editing, and periodically writes about himself in the third person. He is an alumnus of the Canadian Film Centre and a member of the Canadian Cinema Editors, ACFC, IATSE, the VPA, and other organizations with acronyms. When his nephew asked him what editing movies was like, he said it's just like playing with Legos, but with videos and emotions instead. In addition to these biographical details, Greg has won several awards for editing, which have validated his professional insecurities and made him feel warm and fuzzy inside.

Kingfisher Metals CEO Dustin Perry joins Mining Stock Daily to discuss the launch of the company's fully funded 15,000-meter exploration program at the HWY 37 Project in British Columbia's Golden Triangle. Dustin explains why this year's campaign is designed to define the scale of the Hank discovery while simultaneously testing multiple high-priority porphyry and epithermal targets that could transform the project into a true district-scale system. The conversation also covers the evolving geological model, plans to rapidly expand drilling if results warrant, and why the team believes 2026 could be the most important exploration season in the company's history.

Red Canyon Resources is gearing up to drill test Scraper Springs, its Nevada project targeting a Tier 1-scale copper-gold porphyry system with the same Eocene-age intrusions as Bingham Canyon. CEO Wendell Zerb joins Mining Stock Daily to break down the project's geophysics and timeline, alongside updates on the company's flagship Kendal project in British Columbia and the company's active drill program at Osiris testing alkalic copper-gold targets.

Surge Copper has delivered a Pre-Feasibility Study for its 100%-owned Berg Copper Project in central British Columbia, outlining a base-case after-tax NPV8% of C$4.6 billion and a 24% IRR. CEO Leif Nilsson was interviewed by Mining Stock Daily. If built, Berg would have a 28-year mine life and would become a top five copper mine in Canada, as well as the country's largest molybdenum producer.

What happens when ancient laws clash with modern urban planning?In this episode, we dive into a fascinating thought experiment that is playing out in real-time in Vancouver, British Columbia. This podcast contrasts a Biblical mandate in Leviticus 25:23—which explicitly forbids the permanent sale of land, asserting that humans are merely tenants and stewards— with the Squamish Nation reclaiming their ancestral territory to build Senakw.Senakw is the largest First Nations economic development project in Canadian history: an unapologetically massive, ultra-dense, net-zero carbon mega-project. Because it is being built entirely on designated reserve land, it completely bypasses the city's strict traditional zoning bylaws.But with density projections five times higher than Canada's current highest-density neighborhoods, the project has sparked a fierce debate. Is this sustainable, earth-centric urban design an inspiring triumph of indigenous reclamation, or an infrastructural recipe for disaster as critics claim?In this episode, we discuss:The staggering $20B economics and architecture of the Senakw development.The density debate: Why urban planners are sounding the alarm on liveability.The ultimate question: Would our cities be better managed if we followed ancient rules of stewardship?

Years after working in smoky, sooty conditions controlling fires, workers can experience the adverse health effects of the job. Proving the link can be difficult. But now in British Columbia, wildland firefighters are getting early cancer screening and expanded workers compensation coverage for cancer. With climate change contributing to the hot, dry conditions that lead to longer, more intense fire seasons, we explore what else can be done to reduce the exposure to carcinogens these front-line workers face.

Canada's housing market continues to defy the narrative of a nationwide downturn. While British Columbia and Ontario have experienced meaningful price declines since the market peak in 2022, the rest of the country has largely moved in the opposite direction. Home prices have risen across every other province, with New Brunswick leading the way at more than 40% growth. The data serves as a reminder that there is no singular Canadian housing market—only a collection of regional markets moving at very different speeds.Recent national housing data paints a picture of cautious stabilization. Sales activity has improved from the sluggish pace seen earlier in the year, inventory levels have returned closer to long-term averages, and average sale prices have posted modest gains. Yet beneath the surface, transaction volumes remain well below the extraordinary levels recorded during the pandemic-era boom. Prices may be holding in many regions, but activity remains subdued, suggesting buyers and sellers are still adjusting to a higher-rate environment.At the same time, Canada's homeownership rate continues to trend lower, particularly among younger generations. Census data shows substantial declines in ownership among Canadians in their late twenties and early thirties, raising important questions about the country's long-term housing trajectory. While affordability is often cited as the primary culprit, the composition of new housing supply may be playing an equally important role. Detached homes and family-oriented ownership products are becoming increasingly scarce, while condominium construction continues to dominate many urban markets. The result is a housing system that increasingly encourages renting over ownership.The implications extend far beyond housing itself. Homeowners in Canada are significantly wealthier than renters on average, and the gap widens over time. As ownership rates decline, concerns surrounding wealth inequality, social mobility, and economic opportunity continue to grow. If the majority of future housing stock is designed primarily for rental occupancy, Canada may find itself facing broader economic and demographic challenges in the years ahead.Meanwhile, Vancouver is preparing for one of the most significant zoning shifts in recent memory. The City's proposed Village Plan would effectively pre-zone approximately 13,000 properties across 17 neighbourhood hubs, allowing buildings up to six storeys without the lengthy rezoning process that has historically slowed development. Supporters view the initiative as a meaningful step toward increasing housing supply and creating more walkable communities. Critics question whether neighbourhood infrastructure, parking, and community character can absorb such rapid change.Yet the largest question may not be whether these projects can be approved, but whether they can be built. A closer examination of development economics reveals that many proposed projects operate on remarkably thin margins. Rising land costs, elevated construction expenses, financing challenges, and softening demand have left little room for error. Even under optimistic assumptions, many developments appear only marginally viable.That reality was underscored by an unprecedented decision from the Urban Development Institute, which cancelled its 2026 Awards of Excellence. The organization cited worsening development conditions and a growing cost-of-delivery crisis that is making new housing increasingly difficult to build throughout British Columbia. The cancellation serves as a symbolic acknowledgment of the pressures facing an industry that is simultaneously being asked to deliver more housing while confronting some of the most challenging economics in decades.Construction activity reflects a similar tension. Housing starts remain historically elevated thanks to a surge in purpose-built rental construction, but recent data suggests momentum may be slowing. British Columbia posted a significant decline in starts, while performance varied considerably between municipalities. The risk is that today's projects represent the final wave of developments approved under more favourable conditions, with future supply potentially constrained by worsening project economics.Beyond housing, global events are beginning to influence the outlook for inflation and interest rates. As tensions in the Middle East appear to ease, oil prices have retreated sharply, helping lower inflation expectations and bond yields. For borrowers, this represents a welcome development, as lower bond yields typically support lower fixed mortgage rates. However, central banks remain cautious. Stronger economic data in the United States and a resilient labour market have increased expectations that interest rates could remain elevated longer than previously anticipated.At the household level, financial stress continues to build. Consumer insolvencies are rising across Canada, with particularly sharp increases in British Columbia and Ontario. Bankruptcy filings have accelerated as declining home prices reduce homeowners' ability to refinance debt or access home equity. Yet paradoxically, Canadian household net worth continues to reach record highs. The result is a growing disconnect between balance-sheet wealth and day-to-day affordability.That contradiction may ultimately define the current economic cycle. On paper, Canadians remain extraordinarily wealthy. In practice, many households are feeling increasing financial pressure from higher borrowing costs, elevated living expenses, and slower economic growth. The gap between what the data says and what Canadians experience in everyday life continues to widen, creating one of the most important economic stories facing the country today._________________________________ Contact Us To Book Your Private Consultation:

Forest ecologist Suzanne Simard has long been fascinated by the sharing of natural knowledge. From the interconnected root systems she studied in her book Finding the Mother Tree to her ongoing work as an educator, Simard has learned to see the importance of cooperative efforts to share resources and knowledge. Joined in conversation by Seattle-based nature journalist Lynda Mapes, Simard expands these connections into a considerate exploration of the elaborate cycles of forest ecosystems, the challenges they currently face, and the intergenerational value they can provide through her new book When the Forest Breathes: Renewal and Resilience in the Natural World. Raised in a family of loggers committed to sensible forest stewardship, Simard has watched as modern practices and timber companies have left forests vulnerable to damage and depletion. In her research, Simard explores the finely honed cycles of regeneration forests inherently use to maintain themselves. From mushrooms breaking down logs to dying elder trees passing their genetic knowledge to younger growth, When the Forest Breathes presents these cycles as a key component in the protection and preservation of our forests. Working closely with Indigenous communities and the models of responsible forestry they've upheld over time, Simard examines the damage caused by industrialization and wide-scale human intervention– particularly the impact on the overstory's mother trees that are responsible for sharing intergenerational wisdom and supporting new growth. As Simard seeks to understand the importance of stewardship and how older lives can facilitate the conditions for new growth to flourish, she considers similar patterns of loss and regeneration in her own life. Savoring her final days with her ailing mother and watching her daughters grow into adults, Simard draws thoughtful parallels around what caretaking looks like within the forest and within our own communities. Animated by wonder and the urge to honor the tools that trees have honed over generations, When the Forest Breathes aims to use the lessons of the natural world to encourage paths of adaptability, resilience, cooperation, and valuing our forests. Dr. Suzanne Simard is the New York Times bestselling author of Finding the Mother Tree. She is a Professor of Forest Ecology at the University of British Columbia, where she leads The Mother Tree Project and co-directs the Belowground Ecosystem Group. Dr. Simard has earned a global reputation for pioneering research on tree connectivity and communication and the productivity, health, and biodiversity of forests. Her work has been published widely, with over 170 scientific articles in peer-reviewed journals, including Nature, Ecology, and Global Biology, and she has co-authored the book Climate Change and Variability. Her research has been communicated broadly through three TED Talks, TED Experiences, as well as articles and interviews in The New Yorker, National Geographic, NPR, CNN, and many more. She lives with her family in the mountains around Nelson, British Columbia. Lynda Mapes is a journalist, nature writer, and the author of six books on the natural and cultural history of the Pacific Northwest. Her previous publications include The Trees are Speaking and Orca: Shared Waters Shared Home. She was previously an environment reporter for the Seattle Times, focusing on nature, natural history, Native cultures and governments, and Pacific Northwest environmental news, where she was named a finalist for a team award for the Pulitzer Prize for Local Reporting in 2025.

Welcome back to the Mindful Hunter Podcast! In this episode, Jay is in the basement with returning guest Bo Campbell, fresh off his first-ever bear hunt in British Columbia with Mindful Hunter Outfitting. They debrief the trip, talk through the realities of a 49-day guiding season, and make a big announcement: the launch of Mindful Hunter Outfitting South — guided Coues deer hunts in Mexico. Jay gets radically honest about the 2026 spring bear season. While the season was a massive success overall (11 bears across 18 clients), he breaks down the frustrating reality of a 55% lethality rate on shot opportunities — and explains why he's implementing mandatory pre-hunt shooting drills and what he expects from clients moving forward. They also get into the fascinating "heart shot phenomenon" where perfectly shot bears take off on a mindless, adrenaline-fueled dead sprint. In the second half, Jay and Bo officially announce their new guided Mexico Coues deer hunts. Jay explains exactly why the DIY Mexico hunting model is flawed, why it often costs just as much as a guided hunt for a subpar experience, and how they've secured three premier ranches for the 2027 season. If you want to hunt the rut in January/February with incredible food, dialed logistics, and giant deer — this is the hunt for you.

Because the canvas roof had been waterproofed with gasoline, the small flame that touched it on July 6, 1944 swept across the Hartford circus big top in seconds, and most of the 167 people it killed were children.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/HartfordCircusFireREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/39d8nfwhFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Three boys fishing in the middle of the night hear a blood-curdling scream. But it wasn't a human making all that noise – it was an extraterrestrial. And thus began a series of meetings with alien beings! (What Do You Say When Meeting An Extraterrestrial?) *** A day of hilarity turns into a day of horror as an uncontrollable fire breaks out at the Ringling Bros Barnum & Bailey Circus – resulting in the most deadly circus disaster in history. (The Day The Clowns Cried) *** Most ghosts and specters do a great job of scaring the pants off you – and some can get creative with how they do it, with stacking chairs, making toys talk, slamming doors, etc. But apparently not all spooks are worried about their reputation – and when it comes to haunting, they just phone it in, doing the bare minimum.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: November, 2021Weird Darkness ranges from a shapeless apparition that appeared inside the Tower of London in 1817, to a string of close-range UFO and humanoid encounters reported across North America, to the Hartford circus fire of 1944 that killed 167 people in under ten minutes.It opens inside the Tower of London in October 1817, where a cylinder of dense, white and pale-azure fluid about the thickness of a man's arm materialized over the supper table of Edmund Lenthal Swifte, the Keeper of the Crown Jewels. Swifte was holding a glass of wine and water to his wife's lips in the Jewel House, with her sister and his young son present, when the shape hovered for roughly two minutes, drifted around the room, and settled over his wife's right shoulder, at which she cried out that it had seized her. He struck at the wood paneling behind her with his chair, but the figure left no mark, and a scientific friend who afterward examined the sealed, curtained, candle-lit room could account for none of it. The thing wore no period costume and delivered no message, and forty-three years later Swifte set the encounter down in the journal Notes and Queries, insisting at eighty-three that he had neither amplified nor abridged a word of it.From there it moves to a wave of close-range encounters, beginning on a cold January night in 1972 when sixteen-year-old John Yeries and three companions, fishing near Battle Creek Bridge east of Anderson, California, saw a seven-foot, greenish-brown humanoid with a large teardrop-shaped ear on one side of its head and heard it loose a scream that sent them sprinting for their car. Darrell Rich's father Dean returned to the bridge with a pistol, only to back away when a deep growl rose from the brush, and a police search of the area turned up nothing. The following year, on October 4, 1973, insurance agent Gary Chase pulled over at the Santa Susana Pass near Simi Valley, California and watched an elliptical craft roughly seventy feet long, marked with a nested V insignia, hover above a creek while a figure in a wetsuit-like suit crawled across its hull toward a protruding hose. Other witnesses report the same intrusions: patrolman Lonnie Zamora saw two small, white-clad figures beside a landed craft in New Mexico in 1964, and Mrs. Wallace Bowers found fifteen-inch footprints in the snow and watched an orange disk hover over the power lines outside her home in Vader, Washington. Bernice Niblett spent the winter of 1967 alone on Keats Island in British Columbia, where she watched lights maneuver over the water night after night and became convinced that the two stiff, oddly formal Hydro men who appeared at her cabin were not the utility workers they claimed to be — a year-long ordeal documented by Canadian UFO researcher John Magor that eventually drove her off the island.The episode closes with the Hartford circus fire of July 6, 1944, when the canvas big top of the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey circus, waterproofed with a mixture of white gasoline and paraffin wax, caught at the edge and was consumed in under ten minutes, killing 167 of the roughly 7,000 people inside, most of them children. As the flames climbed the roof, the bandleader struck up 'Stars and Stripes Forever,' the circus's coded signal for an emergency, while the Great Wallendas scrambled down from their high wire unhurt. Ringmaster Fred Bradna called for a calm exit, but the crowd ignored him as burning canvas and hot wax fell from above. Two of the exits were blocked by the steel chutes used to move animals in and out, so many of the dead were trampled there rather than burned, and a photograph of the clown Emmett Kelly carrying a single bucket of water toward the blaze fixed the catastrophe in memory as the day the clowns cried. Investigators never settled the cause, though the state fire marshal leaned toward a carelessly dropped cigarette. A fifteen-year-old circus hand named Robert Dale Segee confessed to setting the fire years later and then recanted. And one young victim, her face barely touched by the flames, was never claimed — buried under the name Little Miss 1565 and identified only decades afterward, and only disputably, as Eleanor Cook.

What makes a hotel the best? Not just new, not just beautiful, but worthy of a list that thousands of travelers plan their year around? For Afar senior deputy editor Jennifer Flowers, it comes down to a single test: does this hotel have a story? Not a marketing story—a real one, rooted in the place it sits, the community around it, or the history in its bones. In this episode, Afar editorial director Billie Cohen sits down with Jenn to go behind the scenes of the 2026 Best New Hotels list, one of the biggest the team has ever assembled at 40 properties. Jenn explains how the year-long vetting process actually works (yes, every hotel was personally visited), why she pairs the right writer with the right destination, and what separates a genuine standout from a merely beautiful place to stay. Along the way, Billie and Jenn travel from a nonprofit lodge reachable only by boat or seaplane at the edge of British Columbia's Great Bear Rainforest, to a working dairy farm in Japan's Tohoku region, to a six-suite, solar-powered lodge on regenerating land in South Africa. They dig into the year's biggest themes: the rise of women hoteliers at the founder and CEO level, the surprising number of “new” hotels that are actually painstaking restorations of centuries-old buildings, the reinvention of the all-inclusive, and a growing hunger for ethical access to the world's wild places.

After 53 years, the New York Knicks are NBA champions. Robert Horry, Rob Jenner, and B-Dog Brandon Harper are back to break down one of the wildest finals in recent memory — a series where San Antonio led for 72% of the total minutes and somehow lost in five.   Robert talks about what needs to change for Wemby — specifically, the weight room — and what Dillon Harper's role should actually look like moving forward. Is De'Aaron Fox on the hot seat? He's got four years and over $200 million coming, so the Spurs better hope he's got short-term memory. And was this the Knicks winning, or the Spurs just losing it? The guys go back and forth on that one, and honest answer is... both.   From Jalen Brunson's place in Knicks history (Perk said greatest ever — the guys aren't buying it), to Karl-Anthony Towns FaceTiming Anthony Edwards after winning a ring, to the Knicks parade turning into a disaster with school buses on fire and 63 arrests — there's a lot to unpack from championship week in New York.   Also on the show: Draymond Green says European players are dirty, and Robert Horry has some thoughts on that. James Harden got pulled over at 4 AM with a handgun in his cup holder. The Bulls hired Tiago Splitter and Robert is thrilled it's not another guard. Big Shot of the Week goes to Amy Pye, a former Navy reservist from British Columbia who answered her door at 3 AM and saved a man's life. And the crew plays a special Championship Celebration Edition of Black Crime or White Crime — featuring naked Alabama fans, horse riders at Churchill Downs, and a guy swinging a metal flagpole at electrical wires.   Episode 264 of the Big Shot Bob Podcast. New episodes every week.  

Brixton Metals continues to build momentum on multiple fronts, with another round of high-grade silver drill results from the Langis Project in Ontario while kicking off its 2026 exploration season at the flagship Thorn Project in British Columbia. CEO Gary Thompson joins Mining Stock Daily to discuss the evolving geological model at Langis, progress toward a maiden resource, the potential value of historic silver tailings, and why this year's drilling program is the largest ever undertaken on the property. The conversation also shifts to Thorn, where Brixton is targeting new copper-gold discoveries while advancing several established zones toward future resource estimates, highlighting the company's balanced strategy of discovery and project de-risking across its portfolio.

NINETY-EIGHT YEARS ago, in a logging camp deep in the forests of British Columbia, a logger in a funny hat walked up to a big stump, an ax in his hand. Taking off the hat — it was a battered bowler, an old-fashioned dandy's hat even in 1923 — he laid it on the stump, set a nail in it, and drove it in. Then he turned and walked away. Probably he walked straight to the logging locomotive for his last ride into town. Nailing the hat to the stump was a symbolic act — Stewart H. Holbrook was quitting the logging business forever. ...

Ask Us A Question!For decades, Guido Rahr has traveled some of the wildest and most remote corners of the planet in pursuit of one mission: protecting the last great salmon and steelhead rivers on Earth. As President and CEO of the Wild Salmon Center, Guido has helped safeguard more than 35 million acres of critical habitat across the Pacific Rim — from Alaska and British Columbia to Kamchatka, Japan, and beyond. Along the way, he has witnessed both the astonishing resilience of wild salmon and the sobering reality that many historic runs have disappeared within a single human lifetime.  In this episode of Waypoints, host Jim Klug sits down with Guido for a wide-ranging conversation that spans conservation, travel, adventure, and the future of wild fish. They discuss the concept of salmon strongholds, the ongoing battle to protect places like Bristol Bay, the challenges facing rivers in Russia and the Pacific Northwest, and what anglers can do to make a meaningful difference. From helicopter flights into remote wilderness rivers to lessons learned across decades of conservation work, Guido shares stories, insights, and reasons for optimism that every angler should hear. This is a fascinating conversation about wild places, global exploration, and one of the most important conservation stories of our time.  Waypoints is brought to you by PatagoniaTo bring their gear to life, Patagonia is motivated by relentless curiosity and a passion for the wild. They evaluate hundreds of materials, build dozens of prototypes and spend seasons punishing them in the world's most extreme conditions. The work is the guide, and Patagonia never tires of exploring, learning and improving.
