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.

Tonight's guest, Brett Ford, had two encounters with what some people would call Bearwolves, while he and his family were visiting Newfoundland, last summer. The encounters happened in fairly quick succession, on the same night, which makes Brett think they were connected somehow. The two Bearwolves/Dogmen he saw were definitely different creatures, as they looked different from one another. The first one he saw, near Cornerbrook, Newfoundland, had more of an athletic build. The second one he saw was clearly more muscular and had a much more imposing presence to it. What happened the night he had those encounters?

CREA says home sales jumped 5.5% in May, but that "comeback" deserves a closer look. The seasonally adjusted bounce was real, yet actual sales were still 5.1% below last May, itself one of the weakest years in two decades. We break down why a strong monthly percentage can hide a market sitting near a 20-year low. The real story underneath: Canada has split into two housing markets. Ontario and B.C. remain below their January 2022 peaks (down 16.1% and 9.1%), while New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Saskatchewan and much of the country sit near record highs. One national press release, two completely different realities. We dig into why supply is tightening faster than prices are recovering, the gap between more buyers and more qualified buyers, and what would confirm a durable turn, plus a practical playbook for buyers, sellers, and agents. The question we leave you with: Are Ontario and B.C. showing the rest of Canada where prices are headed, or is the rest of Canada showing them what recovery looks like?

Skills Canada Gold, Rack Life in Newfoundland, and the Great Apprenticeship Debate Advanced Refrigeration Podcast In this episode of the Advanced Refrigeration Podcast, hosts Brett Wetzel and Kevin Compass welcome Devon Owens from Newfoundland, a three-time Skills Canada gold medalist, to talk shop and trade some laughs.

The ocean produces about half the oxygen we breathe, absorbs roughly 30% of the carbon dioxide we emit, and takes up about 90% of the excess heat those emissions trap, according to the United Nations. It is the planet's largest life-support system — and also its least-funded one. Of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals, the goal for life below water consistently draws the least money. Canada, which has the longest coastline in the world, is trying to flip that equation, and you can watch it happen close to real time.Our guest this week is Kendra MacDonald, CEO of Canada's Ocean Supercluster, a national, industry-led effort to grow what's come to be called the blue economy. Under her leadership, the Supercluster has grown into a community of roughly 1,000 members co-investing in more than 150 projects. She came to the role after 25 years at Deloitte, where she served as Chief Audit Executive, and she runs it from St. John's, Newfoundland. The model is built on co-investment: at least two companies put money in, often alongside Indigenous communities, researchers, and global corporations, so no single player carries the risk alone. The projects range from graphene hull coatings that cut a ship's fuel use to wave-powered desalination and the $4.4 million Membertou Electric Lobster Boat, billed as Canada's first zero-emission commercial fishing vessel, led by the Membertou First Nation.Kendra's thesis fits in seven words: you can go faster alone, but farther together. In our conversation, she's candid about where that gets hard — most of these collaborations are small companies that don't individually hold every capability, and the upfront work of sorting out who owns which piece of intellectual property is what separates the partnerships that succeed from the ones that stall. She's just as candid about the catch: the Supercluster is funded by the Government of Canada to de-risk small Canadian firms, and when those firms succeed, they're often acquired by international buyers — the value-capture problem at the heart of every public innovation program. That tension between strong science and thin capital, she says, keeps her up at night, and it points back to the blue-finance gap. It also shapes how she talks about aquaculture, which in 2022 surpassed wild capture as the world's main source of farmed aquatic animals, according to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, and is now the fastest-growing source of animal protein. Kendra rejects the idea that ocean health and productivity are in trade-off, arguing that a healthier ocean is more productive. And just before we recorded, the Trump administration reopened nearly half a million square miles of the Pacific to commercial fishing, the third such rollback in little more than a year. One model treats the ocean as a commons to protect and co-invest in; the other treats marine protection as an obstacle to clear. Kendra thinks the contrast opens a door for Canada to lead.To learn more about the Ocean Supercluster, visit oceansupercluster.ca. MacDonald writes about ocean-economy investment on her Substack, Saltwater Signals, and she's easy to find on LinkedIn.

The World Cup takes me from the fog-shrouded streets of Newfoundland to a sports bar in Edmonton.In St John's, I discover a place shaped by fishing, Irish heritage and the spirit celebrated in Come From Away. In Edmonton, the tournament feels more distant. The games are on, but hockey still dominates the screens.Then I meet Iraj.Born in Iran and raised in Canada, he's working behind the bar when a casual chat turns into one of the most fascinating conversations of the journey so far. We talk about immigration, identity, technology, politics, belonging, free speech and what it means to call a country home.We don't agree on everything. That's what makes it interesting.Along the way there are iceberg beers, towns called Dildo, a frantic attempt to follow England's opening match from 35,000 feet, and more evidence that the best stories often arrive when you're not looking for them.#Canada #Newfoundland #Edmonton #ImmigrationDebate #IdentityAndBelonging #IranianCanadian #TravelStories #SportsBarConversations #WorldCupJourney #HumanStories #CulturalExchange #ConversationNotCommentary #RoadTripPodcast #FanCulture #PeopleOfTheWorldHost: Rob Shaw CameronFAN48: @Fan48PodWhatsApp: +44 7518 715948

Today I am speaking with a solo RVer who has been on the road for many years, but completed one year of traveling that really broke her open so much so that she wrote a book about the experience. Kristy Halvorsen is a solo traveler whose journey has taken her across every state in the nation, nearly every Canadian province and into some of the most remote places in North America. She made an appearance earlier on this show in December 2022. Kristy spent almost nine years living and traveling full time in a 28-foot Airstream and embracing a lifestyle she describes as “coddiwompling.” It is a term which means traveling without a fixed destination or detailed plan. In this episode, Kristy shares stories from what she calls the most transformative year of her travels. It was a journey that inspired her book titled “Perfect Unfolding: Seven Years of Life-Changing Solo Adventure, One Year That Broke Me Open.” Along the way, she traveled to Labrador and Newfoundland, and faced serious health challenges while camping alone in remote wilderness areas. Kristy discovered valuable lessons about resilience, trust and the kindness of strangers. Kristy also talks about the realities of solo travel, what she has learned from nearly a decade on the road and why she believes some of life’s greatest adventures begin when we stop trying to control every detail. Her stories remind us that the road is about much more than just destinations. It’s about the people we meet, the challenges we overcome and the personal growth that comes from stepping outside our comfort zones. She also offered a refreshing reminder that independence does not mean doing everything alone. Instead, true freedom often comes from recognizing how interconnected we all are and why we must be willing to accept help when it arrives. For anyone considering a full-time RV lifestyle, Kristy noted that you do not need every detail figured out before you begin. Start the journey, give yourself time to learn and allow the experience to reveal what kind of traveler you want to become. If you’d like to learn more about Kristy, her travels or her book, visit perfectunfolding.com. You can also follow her on Instagram and learn more about her mentoring and coaching services at kristyh.com. This episode is sponsored by Workamper News.

There are a lot of strange things transported by highway in Canada. Full houses on wheels, wind turbine blades, taller than a duplex — and coming soon, along Newfoundland's Route 90: maybe the strangest load ever; decades-old fish sauce. The kind of sauce that's used for dipping and marinating in Asian cuisines. It's a condiment many people in Newfoundland and Labrador have never even tried. CBC's Mary-Catherine McIntosh looks into where those loads are headed, how the sauce came to be, and why the mayor of a tiny town called St. Mary's will be standing by, watching the trucks back away from his community likely, he says, in tears in her documentary: Fish Sauce.

The easternmost province in mainland Canada, Labrador doesn't get the attention afford to its island provincial partner Newfoundland. Its position on the continent, however, affords its birders the opportunity for some unique avian opportunities from unlikely rarities to birding by snowmobile. Labrador birder Vernon Buckle joins guest host Frank Izaguirre for a conversation about birds and birding in one of the continent's most unique places.  Also, Frank shares some thoughts about the new internet of birding.  Subscribe to the podcast at Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts and please leave a rating or a review if you are so inclined!

Interview with Keith Boyle, CEO & Director of New Found GoldOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/new-found-gold-tsxvnfg-fully-funded-drill-program-for-2026-10527Recording date: June 9th 2026New Found Gold Corp (TSXV: NFG | NYSE-A: NFGC) is advancing two gold projects in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. Its flagship Queensway Gold Project hosts a NI 43-101 resource of 1.39 million ounces of indicated gold at 2.40 g/t and 0.608 million ounces of inferred gold at 1.77 g/t. The Hammerdown Gold Project, acquired in 2025, provides access to the Pine Cove Mill, a fully permitted, operational processing facility that will receive Queensway Phase 1 ore from Q4 2027, with commercial production targeted for 2028.Hammerdown is in the final stages of its ramp-up to commercial production, defined as sustained 700 tonne-per-day throughput with consistent grade from the open pit. At steady state, the operation is projected to generate $40 to $50 million per year in free cash flow at an AISC of approximately $2,500 per ounce - sufficient to cover corporate overhead and fund the exploration program. The Pine Cove Mill is being doubled in throughput capacity as part of the Phase 1 capital program, removing the need for a separate processing facility at Queensway.

Summary Gary opens with a travel update from his five-day trip to Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, where he saw icebergs, humpback whales, and puffins, and spent time with close friends far from the noise of American politics. What he carried home was not just great memories. It was perspective. The ordinary Canadian citizens he met in small fishing towns had no interest in strife. Like Americans, they wanted to enjoy life, be around family, and build something better for the next generation. That reminder of shared Western values set the tone for everything that followed. The core of this episode is a deep-dive into Calvin Coolidge's speech at the 150th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. Gary reads key passages and draws striking parallels to the present: revolutionary anarchism, socialist and communist movements, radical labor organizations, and white supremacist groups all posed serious threats to the republic in 1926. Coolidge's response was not despair. It was a call to recommit to the founding principles, particularly the spiritual and moral bedrock on which the Declaration itself rests. Gary's message is direct: if America held together then, with arguably worse conditions and fewer tools, it can and will do so again. The 250th celebration this July is not a partisan event. It is an American one. Key Takeaways The ideological threats Americans face today, including anarchism, socialist ideology, and racial division, are near-identical to what Calvin Coolidge addressed in 1926, and America came through that period stronger. Coolidge argued that the founding principles in the Declaration of Independence are final, not subject to revision, and that those who seek to revise them are moving backward, not forward. True national unity around the 250th celebration is possible and essential, and should not be surrendered to political framing from any direction. Removing spiritual and religious foundations from public life is a deliberate strategy to weaken America, and recognizing it is the first step to resisting it. AI and real-time fact-checking have shifted the information balance in favor of citizens, giving genuine cause for optimism about where things are headed.

[00:02:18 - 00:04:45] Reflecting on ordinary Canadians in small fishing towns, Gary finds confirmation that shared Western values are alive, and carries that perspective home as a reset on political noise. [00:04:46 - 00:06:06] Gary addresses the 250th celebration, the political forces trying to reframe it, and why Americans across the spectrum should refuse to let those forces win. [00:06:07 - 00:07:09] Gary discovers Calvin Coolidge's Philadelphia speech from July 5, 1926, via a Hillsdale College podcast, and describes being figuratively knocked over by how relevant every word is to today. [00:07:10 - 00:09:22] Gary explains the scale of ideological chaos threatening the American republic between the 1880s and 1920s, arguing conditions were arguably worse than anything Americans face today. [00:09:23 - 00:13:08] Gary unpacks revolutionary anarchism in the early 20th century, including the Haymarket Square Riot and the assassination of President McKinley, and draws direct parallels to modern anti-government movements. [00:13:09 - 00:14:06] Gary connects the socialist and communist organizations of 1926 to current political movements across major American cities and in Congress. [00:14:07 - 00:20:52] Gary addresses the documented history of the KKK and its ties to the Democrat Party, contrasting it with how that history is being used today. [00:20:53 - 00:21:38] Gary transitions into reading Coolidge's speech, framing it as the most relevant political address any American could encounter right now. [00:21:39 - 00:30:41] Gary reads key passages of Coolidge's 150th Anniversary address, pausing at each turn to connect the ideas to the present moment and the spiritual foundation the Declaration was built on. [00:30:42 - 00:31:03] Gary reflects on AI's role in empowering citizens to fact-check in real time as genuine cause for confidence. [00:31:04 - 00:33:10] Gary closes with a call to link arms across political lines, celebrate the 250th as all Americans, and keep perspective on how extraordinary and hopeful this moment actually is.

Kevin contrasts with a rough week changing out 43-year-old Hill racks for new Hussmann racks, dealing with tight valve layouts, vacuum work, reused refrigerant, and major electrical/control complications in an old store with fuse buckets. They explain what Atron surge receivers are, why they fail, and common retrofit approaches. The conversation shifts to small Walmart CO2 “baby” racks and common field issues: critical charging challenges with heavy tanks, relief valves popping due to 650-psi-rated filter driers, problematic relief piping requirements, and the need for better high-pressure serviceable solutions. They close by teasing a deeper future episode on these single CO2 units and their controllers.

This week on Gig Gab, Dave Hamilton sits down with guest co-host Rand Lempert of the Broken Rings, a two-piece recording project built on 15 years of musical kinship between Rand and guitarist Gio da Silva. You’ll hear how these two have crafted an intentional, travel-fueled recording process across cities, cutting live instruments and vocals together, passing files between New Orleans, Tampa, and now Denver, and why that friction and urgency is exactly the point. Rand makes a compelling case for keeping things analog as long as possible: real amps, minimal pedals, old-school mic placements like a modified Glyn Johns setup, and the conviction that nothing replaces the feeling of having a human being in the room when the tape (or hard drive) is rolling. The conversation ranges wide, from Rand’s vivid 9/11 tour story, stranded in St. John’s Newfoundland on one of the last planes to land before U.S. airspace shut down, to a deep dive into the art of the perfect pop song, with nominations for Tempted by Squeeze, Big Star’s Thirteen, Bryan Adams’ Cuts Like a Knife, and Fastball’s Out of My Head. Whether you’re a working drummer obsessing over beat placement, a songwriter who only writes when the muse actually shows up, or a road veteran who knows that idle days on tour are far worse than grueling ones, this episode has your number.

In this episode, Dr. Neil Naik and I unpack a foundational question—is obesity actually linked to cancer, and what's really driving that connection? We explore the underlying biology, from chronic inflammation and insulin resistance to the hormonal activity of adipose tissue, and why visceral fat may matter more than we think.We then move beyond risk and into what happens after a diagnosis—how obesity can influence treatment response, toxicity, dosing, and outcomes across chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation. The conversation also highlights the often-overlooked phase of survivorship, including the role of metabolic health in recurrence risk and long-term prognosis.We close by discussing where emerging therapies like GLP-1 medications fit, how clinicians can move beyond BMI toward more individualized care, and how to talk about the obesity–cancer connection in a way that informs without adding shame.My Guest Dr. Neil NaikDr. Neil Naik, a family physician, educator, and innovator based in Waterloo, Ontario.

Under decennierna omkring år 1000 genomfördes ett antal lika djärva som seriösa nordiska försök att anlägga permanenta kolonier i Nordamerika. Med utgångspunkt i nordligaste Newfoundland utforskade nordborna nuvarande Kanadas östkust, byggde långhus och trädde i kontakt med urbefolkningen i det land som de döpte till Vinland.Upptäckten av Amerika framstår i efterhand som vikingarnas mest imponerande bragd, men vad var det egentligen som hände? Vem eller vilka tog initiativ till upptäcktsresorna och bosättningarna? Vad ville de åstadkomma – grunda utposter för handel eller ta över landet? Och varför slutade det som det gjorde, med att nordborna drog sig tillbaka till Grönland och Island?Frågorna blir inte mindre spännande när vi finner att de verkliga pionjärerna var kvinnor, först Gudrid Torbjörnsdotter och sedan Frejdis Eriksdotter. Till skillnad från i alla andra kända vikingatida kolonisationsprojekt gick kvinnorna i spetsen, något som medeltidens islänningar var väl medvetna om – så till den milda grad att de skrev långa historiska skildringar av kvinnornas liv, i vilka de dominerar över männen, både som hjältar och som skurkar. I ett senare skede av historien glömdes dock kvinnorna bort till förmån för sagornas manliga bipersoner. Varför?I detta avsnitt av podden Harrisons dramatiska historia samtalar Dick Harrison, professor i historia vid Lunds universitet, och fackboksförfattaren Katarina Harrison Lindbergh om Vinland och de vikingatida försöken att utforska och kolonisera nordöstra Nordamerika.Bild: Leif Eriksson upptäcker Amerika.

With special guest: Dr Will Davies… in conversation with Bill Kable The battlefields of World War 1 are now mostly beautiful green fields with some still hiding bullets and ordinance from over 100 years ago. To fully appreciate the sacrifices made in the First World War by young Australians from “the Golden Generation” you have to know what you are looking at when you see these fields more than 100 years after the shots were fired. Our guest today Dr Will Davies can help visitors get the most out of a visit. After hearing the stories from Will, names like Pozieres, Mouquet Farm, Fromelles and Ypres will never seem the same. There are extraordinary monuments representing the countries that participated in the war to end all wars. These include the English, the American, the Canadian, even one from Newfoundland. And there is the Australian monument at Villers-Bretonneux. There is a daily ceremony at Menin Gate rain hail or shine that should not be missed. And Will has developed his own ceremony on his tours involving gum leaves from home. Podcast (mp3)

Tonight's first guest is Lee, calling from Newfoundland, who shares a close-range UFO encounter that took place during an Army Cadet summer training program in Nova Scotia. In the early hours of the morning, Lee and another cadet watched a silent oval-shaped object descend toward them, pass directly overhead at low altitude, and then shoot away at impossible speed after performing sudden direction changes. Then we move on to our second guest Brittany, calling from New York state in the US. Over the past year she has experienced repeated orb encounters ranging from distant lights in the sky to low-level activity directly over her yard. What began as curiosity slowly turned into something far more personal, as the experiences appeared responsive, patterned, and impossible for her to ignore.More information on this episode on the podcast website:https://ufochroniclespodcast.com/2026-2/If you enjoy this podcast, please support the show with a virtual coffee:https://ko-fi.com/ufochroniclespodcastFollow and Subscribe on X to get ad-free episodesX: https://x.com/UFOchronpodcast/Want to share your encounter on the show?Email: UFOChronicles@gmail.comOr Fill out Guest Form:https://forms.gle/uGQ8PTVRkcjy4nxS7Podcast Merchandise:https://www.teepublic.com/user/ufo-chronicles-podcastHelp Support UFO CHRONICLES by becoming a Patron:https://patreon.com/UFOChroniclespodcastAll Links for Podcast:https://linktr.ee/UFOChroniclesPodcastThank you for listening!Like share and subscribe it really helps me when people share the show on social media, it means we can reach more people and more witnesses and without your amazing support, it wouldn't be possible.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ufo-chronicles-podcast--3395068/support.

First up on the podcast, a company is using whole brains—maintained with specialized life support—to study new drugs. Freelance science journalist Sara Reardon joins host Sarah Crespi to talk about the advantages and ethical considerations of keeping brains intact but inactive. Next on the show, when some lizards lose their tails, they might regenerate new ones. But what happens to the old tail? Whereas a castoff lizard tail quickly decomposes, this isn't the case for the castoff tube feet of the sea cucumber, Psolus fabricii. Sara Miller Jobson, a Ph.D. student at the Memorial University of Newfoundland, describes how these “living” limbs healed after amputation and then survived for more than 3 years in just seawater. Their survival in such simple conditions, while maintaining a complex tissue with a functioning immune response, could make amputated tube feet a useful model system for studying regeneration. Finally this week, the first in our book series on science biographies. Books host Angela Saini talks with historian Anna-Luna Post about her recent book, Galileo's Fame: Science, Credibility, and Memory in the Seventeenth Century, which explores how fame shaped the scientific fortunes of Galileo Galilei.

Matt Maher steps into the BlurryCon 3 spotlight and connects dots most people never see. The Grammy-nominated artist behind "Lord I Need You" reveals the story behind his fascinating life and the blurry thread running through it all. From a charismatic grandmother in Newfoundland who prayed in tongues and warned him about fairies to holding a stone from the cave of St. Michael the Archangel and watching a room flood with unexplainable white light. Matt connects creativity, consecrated land, and the thin veil between heaven and earth. Matt walks through the story of writing his song "Only Good Will Grow" on his first night in a house next to Johnny Cash's old Hendersonville property. Cash told a grieving Roy Orbison that only good would grow on that land. When the families lost ownership, everything died. When a Catholic priest came and blessed the ground, everything came back. Matt talks about how Diana Pasulka's research confirmed what he always felt as a songwriter. Songs arrive like downloads from somewhere beyond the veil. He lands on the connection between sound and light on the same spectrum and delivers a line that will stay with you. When God said, "Let there be light," the Logos was moving so fast that it turned into the visible spectrum. A sunset is a song. He talks about quantum retrocausality, how forgiveness might not be a metaphor, and the blood of Jesus might actually move backward through time. Matt makes a compelling case that the Christian life was always meant to be blurry and that wonder is not the enemy of responsibility.

“I still have the best three-point shot of any Canadian poet born before 1943” is one of the first things that acclaimed poet Don McKay says in this expansive and intimate exchange. We are thrilled to offer this conversation between Padraig and Don, recorded from a virtual interview held on the occasion of Don receiving the 2024 Lifetime Achievement Award from the Griffin Poetry Prizes. After touching on his early devotion to basketball, Don speaks of his lifelong passion for geology and birds, how Newfoundland is considered “opera for geologists”,  and why he favors membership over mastery when it comes to relating to Earth's other living creatures.  We invite you to subscribe to Pádraig's weekly Poetry Unbound Substack, read the Poetry Unbound books and his newest work, Kitchen Hymns, or listen to all our Poetry Unbound episodes.   Don McKay has published 10 previous works of poetry. He's been shortlisted twice for the Griffin Poetry Prize, and in 2024 won the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Griffin Poetry Prizes. He lives in Newfoundland, Canada.  Find the transcript for this show at onbeing.org. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Newfoundland was a treacherous launch site, characterized by ice-packed coastlines, boggy ground, and constant rain. Teams had to ship their aircraft in pieces and assemble them in makeshift aerodromes while waiting for favorable winds. Many contemporaries viewed the mission as suicidal. Harry Hawker and Matt Grieve, flying a small Sopwith, grew impatient and launched into a cloud bank in May, disappearing from sight. When they failed to arrive in Ireland after 30 hours, the world presumed them dead, sparking global grief. Shortly after Hawker's departure, Fred Raynham's attempt ended in a "heart-rending" crash during takeoff. This left the field open for Alcock and Brown, who arrived late with their massive Vickers Vimy bomber. This fabric-and-wood machine successfully carried the duo through relentless North Atlantic clouds until they landed in Ireland, simply declaring they were from "America." (3/4)1923
