Historian Kevin Impellizeri shares a story of a video game controversy to his friends: Kate Lynch and Matt Shoemaker, whose new book, Gathering of Gamers: Dungeons & Dragons and Other Games Through Gen Con, is available now through Play Story Press (https://playstorypress.org/books/gathering-of-gamers/). If you're interested in the history of North America's largest gaming convention or the history of Dungeons & Dragons, this is the book for you!Matt joins us for the conclusion of our look at Patricia Pulling and her personal war on Dungeons & Dragons during the 1980s. We look at the impact of her message on the news media as well as the growing body of critics who made the radical suggestion that maybe there wasn't a vast network of satanists operated undetected in the United States (shocking, I know) and that maybe Pat was less than up front about her claims.Topics discussed include: how does Geraldo Rivera keep getting work, Richmond's Satanist-Methodist ratio, the question of whether Pat knew her son was turning into a werewolf, and the salacious indiscretions of one of Pat's closest allies.Read Michael Stackpole's Pulling Report here: https://rpgstudies.net/stackpole/pulling_report.html.If you're looking for another well-researched epic takedown of the 1980s Satanic Panic, check out: Robert D.

This week, Travis is joined by Scott of the Horns over Hoops Podcast to talk about 2022's The Batman. Written and Directed by Matt Reeves, and starring Robert Pattinson, Zoe Kravitz, Paul Dano, and a host of others. Bruce Wayne is in his second year as Batman, trying to protect Gotham City as a symbol of vengeance and striking fear in to the criminal element. But a serial killer calling himself The Riddler is taking out corrupt city officials. So, is this as good of a Batman movie as some have said? Or should Scott have just skipped it?

In this episode of In Pursuit, Rich Froning sits down with Trent Ellis, ex-Marine, outdoorsman, and rising social media voice, whose mix of grit, humor, and authenticity has built him a loyal following. Trent opens up about his journey from small-town Mississippi dreams of football, to deployments overseas, to finding peace and purpose back in the woods. He shares how hunting with his brother shaped his early years, why fitness and preparation matter in the backcountry, and how storytelling on social media (and now stand-up comedy) has given him a new platform to inspire others.From lessons learned in the Marines to the joy of making memories with his own kids in the outdoors, Trent reminds us that living authentically isn’t about chasing the spotlight—it’s about keeping your priorities rooted in family, faith, and the wild.

Dr Aaron P. Jackson⁠ is Senior Lecturer in War Studies at Swedish Defence University in Stockholm, Sweden, where he specialises in researching and teaching operational art, military design thinking, and the ontology of military planning processes. Before commencing this role in February 2025, he was an Australian Public Servant for fifteen years. His public service appointments include Commander State Control Centre – Health in the South Australian Department of Health and Wellbeing, in which role he commanded the out-of-hospital elements of the Department's COVID-19 pandemic response operations. He has also held a variety of roles in the Australian Department of Defence, including as a doctrine writer, where he was the lead author of the second edition of the Joint Military Appreciation Process doctrine, which is the Australian Defence Force equivalent to the United States' Joint Publication 5.0 – Joint Planning. In addition to his civilian roles, Aaron is a part time Infantry Officer in the Australian Army Reserve. Holding the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, he is a former Commanding Officer of 10th/27th Battalion, The Royal South Australia Regiment, and he has previously deployed on Operations in Iraq, the Greater Middle East Region, Timor Leste, and domestically within Australia. The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are exclusively his own. They do not represent the views of any institution with which he is, or was previously, affiliated. In this month's episode, I speak with Dr Aaron P. Jackson about his book ⁠Military Design Thinking⁠. Military design thinking is an approach to military strategy and problem-solving that emphasises creativity rather than conventional methods, which often rely on linear, analytical approaches that may not adequately address the “wicked problems” encountered in complex and dynamic contemporary conflicts.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Military Design Thinking02:09 Defining Military Design Thinking04:59 The Role of AI in Military Design10:12 Doctrinal Ontology in Military Context20:51 The Equality of Starting Points in Warfare28:24 The Impact of the Iraq War on Military Doctrine40:55 Rethinking Military Problem Solving44:34 Complex Adaptive Systems vs. Traditional Paradigms48:58 The Influence of Postmodernism in Military Design55:56 Wicked Problems and Military Contexts01:01:06 Challenges in Embedding Design Thinking01:04:09 Successful Applications of Design Thinking01:11:46 The Future of Military Design ThinkingAcademic publications cited during this podcast: 4.12: Nelson & Stolterman (2014), The Design Way.6.50: Bovet Emanuel, et al (2025), Comprehensive Shield 2025.9.31: The Archipelago of Design website.10.52: Jackson (2013), Doctrine, Strategy and Military Culture.21.56: Howard (1974), Military Science in an Age of Peace.27.48: Simpkin (2021),  ⁠Explaining Labour's Ballistic Missile Defence Policy 1997-2010.30.08: Naveh (1997), In Pursuit of Military Excellence.33.42: Ryan (2016), A Personal Reflection on Introducing Design to the U.S. Army.37.56: Mann (1992), Chaos Theory and Strategic Thought.56.08: Rittel & Webber (1973), Dilemmas in a General Theory of Planning.57.07: Nelson & Stolterman (2014), The Design Way.59.11: Builder (1989), The Masks of War.1.01.22: English (2004), Understanding Military Culture.1.01.42: Weick (1996), Drop your Tools.1.06.05: Weizman (2006), Walking Through Walls.1.06.57: Stanczak et al (2021), Design at the Cutting Edge of Battle.1.07.37: Martin (2015), 

2025 has been an incredible year for Iranian-Norwegian metallers Confess. Back in January, they released stunning new album, ‘Destination Addiction', which was produced by frontman Nikan Khosravi, mixed and mastered by Grammy-nominated Alberto De Icaza (Amon Amarth, Clutch, Miss May I, Dead Cross, Upon A Burning Body) and featured performances from extreme metal luminaries George Kollias (Nile) and Marzi Montazeri (ex-Phil Anselmo and Illegals, ex-Superjoint Ritual, ex-Exhorder, Heavy As Texas). Then, in September, the band had their story featured in a full episode as part of the HULU show ‘Into the Void: Life, Death & Heavy Metal'. Now, finishing the year off in style, the band are re-releasing their seminal second album ‘In Pursuit of Dreams' on November 7th, 2025. Seminal, because it was the last record they dropped while still in Iran, and in frontman Nikan Khosravi's own words has become: A lightning rod for rebellion, defiance, and unapologetic expression. This album, its importance, the decision to re-release it, and much more, is discussed in our interview with Nikan.

Halloween might be behind us this year, but Horror season is eternal. This week, Travis is joined by Tom Norman of 2 Nerds 1 Quest to talk about 1981's Friday the 13th Part 2. Coming out less than one calendar year after the first movie in the series, this time Jason is introduced. After killing Alice from the first movie for decapitating his mother, we jump to 5 years later, and a new group of camp councelors are at Crystal Lake. When they stray too close to Jason's domain, he decides to take them out. So, is this one a fun sequel, or just a cheap cash grab?

072 The age of connectivity was supposed to give everyone a voice and spread liberal values around the world, but instead public discourse in the digital town square has been reduced to 280 characters and cynical memes shared with strangers.  In contrast to the dumpster fire of social media is the rich tradition of a salon culture that thrived during the age of enlightenment.  From the ferment of these social gatherings flowed a new world of reason and possibility, including egalitarian systems of self governance and the inalienable rights that have come to define the West, but are now under threat.Innate to the experience of salons is the pursuit of meaning, connection and beauty.  As more of life is lived online there are fewer spaces in the real world where diverse people and perspectives can engage in healthy and spirited exchange about things that truly matter.  In this episode of Awake In Relationship I speak with Justine Kolata, a philosopher, salonnière and author of In Pursuit of the Beautiful Soul about reviving the art of conversation as an antidote to online toxicity and restoring hope in a brighter future through holding space for beauty and heartfelt dialogue.If you have been loving what you are hearing on AIR  please rate, review and subscribe to get the latest content fresh to your device.  Sign up for our newsletter at awakeinrelationship.com to learn about upcoming programs and events.Do you have suggestions for guests or feedback on the show?  Send us an email at awakeinrelationshippodcast@gmail.com

We finish up the GORE Podcast takeover of the show this week with The Black Phone (2022). Based on a short story by Joe Hill, written by C. Robert Cargill and Scott Derrickson, and directed by Derrickson. In Colorado during 1978, local boys have been going missing, taken by someone dubbed The Grabber. When young Finney is taken, his sister tries to find him. Meanwhile, a black phone in the basement he's being held it rings even though the line is cut. What does the voice on the line tell him? And can he get out before The Grabber does him in? Also, is this the best Mask in a horror movie? Let's find out...GORE Podcast is a Horror podcast to keep you up at night.

In this episode of In Pursuit, Rich Froning sits down with Richard Ryan, co-founder of Black Rifle Coffee, author of The Warrior’s Garden, and regenerative agriculture advocate. They dig into the hidden costs of the attention economy, why stepping away from social media can reset your priorities, and how gratitude and community drive resilience. The conversation also ties directly into the backcountry: exploring how hunting offers a rare chance to disconnect, get uncomfortable, and rediscover what truly matters. From raising bison to building companies, Ryan shares hard-won lessons on focus, purpose, and living with intention in the wild and at home.

This week, the GORE Podcast takeover continues with a 2020 coming of age movie that involves bloodsuckers. It's Vampires vs. the Bronx. It's the Bronx in the summer, but people have been going missing. With all this new construction from the Murnau group buying up local businesses, incluing the neighborhood Bodega. Miguel, Bobby, and Luis stumble on to the real threat behind it all, Vampires! So, is this a fun horror inspired movie in the vein of The Monster Squad?

New episode of Red Transmissions Podcast: an illuminating conversation with Dev Thompson, a two-time award-winning director, sound mixer, and producer from Cincinnati, Ohio. Dev's work weaves together personal experience, resilience, and the healing power of storytelling. His short film Brown Boy (2024) received the Founder's Award at the Cindependent Film Festival, and his collaborative project 1+5+4 (2025) earned Best Poetry Film at the Queercine International Film Festival in Ghent. As a sound mixer, his credits include In Pursuit of Favor (2023), a documentary on Georgian winemakers showcased at the San Luis Obispo International Film Festival. In this episode, Dev reflects on filmmaking as an act of courage and self-discovery—on the choices that shape a creative life, the strength found in vulnerability, and the radical possibility of being a gentle man in a world that demands hardness. He invites us to consider what it means to exist without expectations, to create from honesty, and to move through art as a form of healing. Listen now wherever you get your podcasts.

The GORE Podcast takeover continues with Monica, Fae and Wesley here once again to talk about a horror movie. It's Anthology week, as is our tradition. This year's anthology is Body Bags from 1993. Created by John Carpenter, who directed two of the three segments, with Tobe Hooper directing the third. Originally was going to be a series on Showtime, it boasts a cast of horror legends, and some spooky atmosphere. But is it in the upper tier of Horror anthologies?

In the first episode of In Pursuit of Development Season 6, host Dan Banik returns after an unexpected year-and-a-half hiatus following a serious health emergency. Dan examines how the world has entered a period of profound flux. The once-stable liberal international order is giving way to a more fragmented and contested multipolar reality. He explores how trade wars, weakening multilateral institutions, debt crises, environmental stress, and disruptive technologies are reshaping global politics and development. However, amidst this turbulence, he identifies a powerful countercurrent — the growing visibility and influence of the Global South. Dan unpacks how countries across Asia, Africa, and Latin America are asserting new forms of leadership and cooperation — through the G20, BRICS, and South–South partnerships — and how this shift is transforming debates on trade, climate justice, technology, and governance. The episode also reflects on the challenges within the Global South itself, including internal inequalities, differing national interests, and the risk of reproducing old hierarchies in new ways.Despite the uncertainty of this “interregnum” moment, Dan closes with a message of cautious optimism — a politics of hope grounded in evidence. He highlights global progress in health, education, poverty reduction, and renewable energy, emphasizing that crises often generate creativity and collaboration. The episode sets the stage for a new season of conversations with scholars, activists, and policymakers who will explore how the Global South's choices — and the world's response — will shape the future of global development.

It's the start of Spooktober, and that means the GORE Podcast takes over the show. Monica, Wesley and Fae join Travis to do what they do best, talk about Horror. Starting this year off is 2018's Malevolent, starring Florence Pugh. Two American paranormal investigators living in Scotland are scamming people with their fake "cleansings", but is Angela starting to actually see spirits?

Drew Burriss of The More You Nerd is back on the show to talk about the 1997 Paul Verhoeven film Starship Troopers. Travis had never seen it before, so it's time to fix that. Based on the book by Robert Heinlein, it's a look at a distopian future where humans are at war with Arachnids in a fight for survival. Or is it a satirical takedown of an overly militaristic and fascist society? And is the CGI used for the bugs even any good after nearly 30 years?

It's here!!!My new book In Pursuit is officially out in the world, and in this bonus episode I'm giving you a taste of what's inside.So many of us are living in what I call the Prison - chasing approval, checking the boxes, proving our worth. Life looks fine on paper, but inside it feels gray and numb.This book (and this episode) is for you if:You've done everything “right” but still don't feel fulfilledYou're exhausted from performing instead of livingYou're waiting for the next goal to finally flip the switch and make you feel enoughYou're ready to stop fixing yourself and start coming home to yourselfIn In Pursuit, I walk you through three powerful movements: The Prison - seeing what's been keeping you stuck The Path - learning to quiet the critic and practice self-loyalty The Pursuit - creating a life that feels alive, aligned, and fully YOUI'll read a few excerpts, share my story, and give you a clear picture of why this book matters right now.

This week, Travis is joined by Seth Goldstein of The Entrepreneur's Enigma podcast to talk about Keeping the Faith (2000). Travis had never seen this one before.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the idea that Civility, in one of its meanings, is among the most valuable social virtues: the skill to discuss topics that really matter to you, with someone who disagrees and yet somehow still get along. In another of its meanings, when Civility describes the limits of behaviour that is acceptable, the idea can reflect society at its worst: when only those deemed 'civil enough' are allowed their rights, their equality and even their humanity. Between these extremes, Civility is a slippery idea that has fascinated philosophers especially since the Reformation, when competing ideas on how to gain salvation seemed to make it impossible to disagree and remain civil.With Teresa Bejan Professor of Political Theory at Oriel College, University of OxfordPhil Withington Professor of History at the University of SheffieldAnd John Gallagher Associate Professor of Early Modern History at the University of LeedsProducer: Simon TillotsonReading list: Teresa M.

We are kicking off Cage-A-Palooza 2025 with a movie that is not only Nicolas Cage, but also David Lynch. That's right, those two worked together once, and the result was 1990's Wild at Heart. Cage plays Sailor, fresh out of jail and on a cross country road trip with his girlfriend Lula (played by Laura Dern). It has Lynch surrealism, and Cage craziness. But are these two great tastes that taste great together? Or more like oil and water? Let's find out...Thanks go out to Audie Norman (@TheAudieNorman) for the album art.

From the mind of acclaimed reporter Gary Baum comes In Pursuit of Beauty (Blackstone, 2025), a striking debut novel that examines the nature of truth and allure in our modern world. What would you endure to fulfill your dreams? What would you do to have the perfect body? For Dr. Roya Delshad, the answers are anything and everything. A sought-after Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, Roya is also the highest example of her craft. She's had every inch of her own body sculpted, one procedure at a time. All to escape a painful and lonely past. But when Roya gives the gift of beauty to those who can't afford the cost, the media labels her "the Robin Hood of Roxbury Drive," and she soon finds herself pleading her case from inside a prison cell. Hoping to resurrect her reputation and obscure a trail of unhappy clients, Roya tells her story with the help of the blithely handsome Wes Easton, a journalist and failed screenwriter who agrees to ghostwrite her memoir. In a twistingly tense pas de deux, Wes struggles to tell fact from fiction, and Roya seeks to explode his notions about aspiration and desire, sending their collaboration off the rails. A bold, stylish, and provocative thriller about surfaces and their hidden depths, In Pursuit of Beauty explores what it means to become exactly who you once yearned to be.
