Today, Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk is viewed as the founder of the modern Czech state – a George Washington-like figure. When he died in the 1930s, his final words were sealed in an envelope…which then passed from his son, who died under mysterious circumstances in the 1940s, to a secretary's flat in Scotland, to being stashed away in the National Archives, with instructions not to open the envelope until 2025. This September, the envelope was revealed to the public for the first time. So what were Masaryk's famous last words?Read more about the mysterious envelope: https://english.radio.cz/masaryks-last-words-envelope-opened-insights-a-nations-founding-president-8863213 and about the re-opened investigation into Jan Masaryk's death: https://www.rferl.org/a/czech-murder-czechoslovakia-masaryk-cold-war/33306970.html Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode, you'll hear:
In this powerful episode, Riley dives deep into one of the most extraordinary moves of God in modern history—the Hebrides Revival (1949–1952). What began in a small cottage with two elderly sisters, Peggy and Christine Smith, turned into a sweeping outpouring of the Holy Spirit that transformed entire villages across the Isle of Lewis. Churches once empty were filled overnight. People fell under conviction in fields, barns, and even aboard ships at sea. This is not just history—it's a holy invitation for our generation. If God could shake a remote island off Scotland's coast, He can shake our homes, our cities, and our hearts today.

Margaret Tudor was the daughter of a king, the sister of a king, and the wife of a king. But she was a political power player in her own right, carefully balancing family loyalties to both the crown of England and the crown of Scotland. She also left an extraordinary legacy of correspondence detailing her life as a princess, queen, regent and mother. Drawing on her research surrounding these letters, historical linguist Dr Helen Newsome-Chandler explores Margaret's life in conversation with Emily Briffett.

Just when we thought we were out, he pulls us back in! After declaring this podcast done with Don Rea until Year in Review, Brendan starts this episode off with the late-breaking news of Don Rea's karaoke performance after Saturday of the Ryder Cup. According to the Times of London, D-Rabbit reportedly took the mic at his hotel and performed Eminem's "Lose Yourself" in front of player families and more onlookers. Andy is stunned by the song choice, thinking that an Eagles song would be more up Don's alley. Everyone is wondering when and where the video of this historical moment will inevitably come out and PJ is debating on making some calls across Long Island to see if he can procure it. With Don's one-year anniversary as PGA of America president coming up, Andy ponders if he makes it through half of his two-year term. Brendan is aghast at the "Deep State" of European media and PGA of America members who are trying to cancel Don, demanding that this cannot happen, if only for the sake of this podcast. Before running through this week's results, Andy and Brendan also provide an incredible update on the "Lotte at Lottie's" challenge! In actual golf news, Tommy Gainey secured his first win on the Champions Tour and Andy believes that this may mark the end for the senior circuit in more ways than one. Speaking of the Lotte, the LPGA's unique winner streak carries on after non-member sponsor exemption Youmin Hwang took home the win. Big Shot Bob MacIntyre won a rainy, cold Dunhill just a week after battling at Bethpage. The weather was so bad in Scotland that the event was shortened to 54 holes, causing some Pro-Am celebs to walk off the course due to the conditions. On the PGA Tour, Steven Fisk chased down Garrick Higgo at the Sanderson to win his first-ever PGA Tour title. Andy pops PJ about the latest Jets loss and there's some network television discussion to round out this quick Sunday recording.
In 2013, businesswoman and mum Cor Hutton was given just a five percent chance of survival after contracting pneumonia that developed into sepsis.

FRANKOPAN4.mp3 - The Medieval Warm Period, Viking Expansion, and Parallel Empires Professor Peter Frankopan | The Earth Transformed: An Untold History The Medieval Warm Period (950–1250 CE), marked by low volcanism, fostered environmental stability and large-scale human movement. This included Viking expansion into the North Atlantic, seeking new pastures and resources like walrus ivory. This colonization was often violent, relying on the enslavement and coercion of women from Ireland and Scotland for reproduction. In North America, the cosmopolitan city of Cahokia thrived for centuries before collapsing due to internal pressures like resource depletion and elite competition. Globally, several "power empires" (e.g., Chola, Abbasids) rose in parallel, reinforcing each other through trade and cultural exchange, such as the spread of Indian culture into Southeast Asia.
HEADLINE: Life on Land Collaboration: Devonian Mycorrhizae and Silurian Deep-Sea Vents BOOK TITLE: Other Lands, A Journey Through Earth's Extinct Worlds GUEST AUTHOR NAME: Thomas Halliday 200-WORD SUMMARY: This source details the move of life onto land and the origins of ecosystems. In the Devonian(407 million years ago), life thrived through collaboration, notably the crucial partnership of Mycorrhizae (fungi and roots). This collaboration was essential for plants to develop roots and extract mineral resources from rocks, while the fungi gained energy from plant photosynthesis. Evidence from Rynie, Scotland—a Yellowstone-like ecosystem with hot springs—shows detailed preservation of these interactions. The largest organism on land at this time was Prototaxites, a lichen structure that grew up to 9 meters tall. Arthropods, such as the freshwater shrimp Rhyniella, were among the first animals to inhabit the land. The conversation shifts to the Silurian (435 million years ago) and the deep ocean. The site of Yaman-Kassie is the earliest known fossilized hydrothermal vent with organisms living on it. These deep-sea vents support life via a chemical-based food chain independent of light. Halliday references the major hypothesis that life itself originated at similar deep alkaline vents, based on replicable chemistry that naturally creates the necessary hydrogen ion gradients. The segment concludes with the Ordovician mass extinction (444 million years ago), the first of the "big five" mass extinctions, which was caused by global cooling followed by rapid warming, stressing marine life with a high rate of climate change.
Whats that you hear? Is it the sound of trails being hunted? Or roads being lit? No, you're right, its another episode of the Unnamed Automotive Podcast being beamed right to your devices!

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber has had an intriguing few days filled with business pivots, headline-grabbing social media activity, and a rare musical moment. On Friday, June 6, he unveiled a bold new monochromatic look and posted a string of moody selfies to Instagram, tagging his newly-launched clothing brand SKYLRK. The singer lounged in rich blue hues—oversized hoodie, leggings, and classic white socks—offering followers a peek into his casual side, all while watching sports with a friend. This SKYLRK launch is turning heads for more than its style. The brand steps in right as Bieber publicly and dramatically cut ties with Drew House, his previous fashion label. In an April Instagram Story, Bieber urged fans not to support Drew House, declaring it no longer represented him or his family. Notably, his wife Hailey Bieber was involved in SKYLRK's design process, according to Page Six, even teasing her favorite jacket on Instagram before the story expired. The details of SKYLRK remain elusive—the website is password-protected and the Instagram account is virtually empty—so, for now, speculation swirls as to the label's aesthetic and market ambitions. Beyond fashion, Justin Bieber's music catalogue continues to be big business. Hipgnosis Songs Management acquired Bieber's entire song catalogue in January 2023, with this asset still making headlines as Hipgnosis underwent further industry restructuring in 2025, according to Wikipedia. While Bieber himself has not commented recently, industry analysts continue to cite this massive deal among the modern music world's most significant rights sales. In terms of wealth, while he's not yet a billionaire, a recent YouTube analysis pegs his fortune around 350 million dollars in 2025—thanks to record sales, explosive tours, and investments in fashion and tech. On the public appearance front, Bieber was seen sharing sunset snaps in St Andrews, Scotland, earlier this week, giving the local Edinburgh beer a thumbs up—a gesture that generated over a million Instagram likes, reports The Scotsman. In a quieter musical moment, a short video posted on YouTube October 4 shows him playing the song Walking Away at the piano, showcasing his stripped-down artistry for fans and sparking plenty of nostalgic buzz. All in all, Bieber's week reveals a star doubling down on personal branding, selectively sharing glimpses of his music, and remaining front and center in both business dealings and the public imagination.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

One great power (China) has a relentless thirst to build that comes with a terrible human cost, while its main rival (America) is a more lawyerly and free society that's prone to stifling ideas both good and bad. On the 76th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Dan Wang, a Hoover Institution research fellow and author of the bestseller Breakneck: China's Quest to Engineer the Future, joins GoodFellows regulars Niall Ferguson and H.R. McMaster to discuss what the future holds for the two Cold War 2 rivals, plus Wang's firsthand experiences witnessing China's engineering boom and enduring its draconian pandemic policies. After that, the fellows weigh in on President Trump's recent United Nations address and the state of that institution, the likelihood of Trump's Gaza peace plan coming to fruition, the provision of long-range Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine, plus the merits of a US military strike inside Venezuela to counter narco-terrorism. In the lightning round: why America's military brass gathered at Quantico; National Guard troops head to Portland, Oregon; Scotland's frustration with illegal immigration; and the feasibility of the US regaining Afghanistan's Bagram Air Base. Subscribe to GoodFellows for clarity on today's biggest social, economic, and geostrategic shifts — only on GoodFellows.
Today's episode is a special one as I bring the full Scottish Rally team onto the R2Kast!
In this episode, Molly Painschab and Clarissa Kennedy reconnect after three transformative weeks together—first in London for the International Food Addiction and Comorbidities Conference, then exploring the magic of Scotland. From castles and waterfalls to ancient standing stones, they share the joy of work, play, and community in recovery. But the heart of today's conversation is the fawn response—a trauma survival strategy often misunderstood as “people pleasing.” Drawing on their own stories and professional experiences, Molly and Clarissa explore how fawning develops, why it feels so challenging to change, and how it manifests in recovery and relationships. What We Talk About Fawning explained: Why it's more than people pleasing and how it functions as a survival strategy. Personal stories: Growing up in emotionally immature households, learning to appease, and the impact on identity and relationships. Adaptive vs. maladaptive fawning: When appeasement helps us survive—and when it harms us. Symptoms and signs: From difficulty saying no, over-apologizing, and hypervigilance to identity loss and emotional exhaustion. Why fawning is reinforced: Cultural, gender, and relational factors that reward compliance at the cost of selfhood. Professional insights: What clinicians and helpers need to know about clients who fawn—including vulnerability to relapse, self-neglect, and difficulty with boundaries. Pathways to healing: Building awareness, practicing small boundaries, parts work, somatic tools, and self-compassion as antidotes to shame. Grief and growth: Naming the loss that comes with shifting out of fawning while also reclaiming voice, choice, and authenticity. Invitation for Listeners This week, reflect on a time you said “yes” when you truly wanted to say “no.” What small, safe boundary might you practice instead? Notice how your body responds, and give yourself permission to honor your needs—one step at a time. ✨ Resources Mentioned Are You Mad at Me? by Meg Josephson Sweet Sobriety Membership & Groups: www.sweetsobriety.ca

Episode 211 of The Adventure Podcast features adventurer Ollie Treviso. Ollie recently completed a 14,000km, 20-month walk along the Andes, from Tierra del Fuego to the Caribbean Sea. In this episode, Ollie opens up about how far he's come - from a rugby-playing teenager abusing steroids and working as an insurance broker, to living in a cave in Gran Canaria, working on farms, and eventually discovering the power of slow, human-paced travel. Matt and Ollie explore his first long-distance walk across the UK, complete with an over-packed rucksack, no tent experience, and a rule never to pay for accommodation, and how these early stumbles laid the foundations for his South American journey. They also talk candidly about grief and loss, why walking feels most meaningful, resilience, identity, and the uneasy balance between adventure, ego, and storytelling. This conversation is longer than normal. But its honest, fun, and full of surprising side stories. What emerges is not just the tale of an epic trek, but an honest reflection on what drives someone to keep walking into the unknown.For extra insights from the worlds of adventure, exploration and the natural world, you can find The Adventure Podcast+ community on Substack. You can also follow along and join in on Instagram @theadventurepodcast.Chapter Breakdown 00:00 – 09:00 | Beginnings & Pandemic Shift: Ollie's early restlessness, failed plans for South America, and how COVID lockdowns unexpectedly pushed him into walking across the UK.09:00 – 14:30 | Discovering Slow Travel: First long walks through Wales, Scotland, and Land's End to John O'Groats; learning the hard way about kit, endurance, and the joy of stripping life back to basics.14:30 – 20:00 | Tragedy & Turning Points: Family loss and grief collide with his travels, bringing him home but also deepening his sense of purpose and the need to carry on.20:00 – 40:00 | Setting Out for South America: Why Ollie chose to walk the Andes, the decision to commit step by step, and the fears and motivations behind such a huge undertaking.40:00 – 1:05:00 | Hardship & Kindness on the Road: Encounters with strangers' generosity, moments of danger, and surreal cultural exchanges - from Venezuela to Argentina, including being mugged in Colombia.1:05:00 – 1:20:00 | Companions & Survival: The story of a stray dog that joined him in Chile, brushes with wilderness, and reflections on walking's unique intensity.1:20:00 – 1:32:00 | Records, Recognition & Resistance: How the “first to walk the Andes” label sat uneasily with him, fundraising realities, and the tension between storytelling and self-promotion.1:32:00 – 1:40:00 | Coming Home & Looking Forward: Post-expedition decompression, finding peace away from the road, and searching for balance between adventure, career, and life at home.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-adventure-podcast.

"Aberdeen Calling!" On 10 October 1923, the BBC opened its seventh station: 2BD Aberdeen. Its station director R.E. Jeffrey was fresh from the success of Rob Roy - a drama he'd produced and starred in - and in later years he'd head up BBC drama, with contributions arguably including radio's first sci-fi and first sitcom (not at the same time - Red Dwarf was a while away yet). Our experts include author Gordon Bathgate (whose book Aberdeen Calling is recommended - link below)... academic Dr Aleksandar Kocic of Edinburgh Napier University on why the BBC doesn't really do local radio in Scotland... plus notes from Prof Tim Crook on R.E. Jeffrey's later career... and much more. We recreate for you Aberdeen's opening night - hear the songs and some of the voices. We look at the challenges of the weather, and the shrinking nature of BBC local radio - both in 1923 and in 2025. Thoughts on any of this? Email me: paul at paulkerensa dot com. And see the below links for more on this marvellous tale... SHOWNOTES: Original music is by Will Farmer. Gordon Bathgate's excellent book Aberdeen Calling: 100 Years of the BBC in Aberdeen is available for your bookshelf: https://amzn.to/42mDDuJ Dr Aleksandar Kocic's thesis - 'What perceptions of local radio by its journalists and listeners tell us about its role and future' - is here: https://dspace.stir.ac.uk/handle/1893/35995?mode=full Graham Stewart's website Scotland On Air has more on the 2BD Aberdeen story here: https://wiki.scotlandonair.com/wiki/2BD Prof Tim Crook's article on R.E.

//The Wire//2300Z October 1, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: ROSE DOCHERTY ARRESTED AGAIN IN SCOTLAND AS SOCIAL DISSENT CONTINUES TO RISE. IED THREAT DISCOVERED NEAR MUNICH, DELAYING SOME OKTOBERFEST EVENTS.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-United Kingdom: Social concerns and dissent continue as before. On Monday, Rose Docherty was arrested once again in Scotland for holding a sign in the general vicinity of an abortion facility which read "Coercion is a crime, here to talk, only if you want".Analyst Comment: This is the second time she was arrested under similar circumstances, with a nearly identical incident occurring back in February. Regarding that initial incident, the charges were eventually dropped in August. However, that did not stop police from arresting her under the same conditions anyway once again. For wider context, in Scotland specifically "Buffer Zone" laws have been a concern for some time since they don't just apply to protest actions in public...but also in private homes, as noted by American Vice President JD Vance (which brought a lot of international attention to the issue back in February, after her first arrest).More generally around the Kingdom, dissent is growing. A petition to scrub the Digital ID plans has reached over 2.7 million signatures so far, which is a not an inconsequential number regarding these types of government petitions. Nevertheless, the petition has so far been ignored, and the number of signatures continues to climb.Considering the very serious speech issues across the pond, whenever these incidents come to light it is often only American sources who can bring more eyes to these dystopian issues, since even talking about these topics in public forum is often an arrestable offense in the U.K. now. As such, while these incidents do not get that much attention here in the US, these are always worthy to note as the general situation continues to deteriorate as similar efforts pop up here at home.Germany: This morning Oktoberfest celebrations were briefly delayed following an explosive threat in Munich. A fire broke out at a residential building, which resulted in loud bangs being heard by locals as various unknown items cooked off inside the burning structure. Upon responding to the incident local authorities indicated that this may not have been a standard house fire, but rather linked to some sort of explosive threat. One person was reported deceased in conjunction with this investigation, but details vary regarding this person's status. Authorities have also stated that one person linked to this case has been reported missing, however that person's remains may have been located inside the structure. Authorities also stated that the incident stemmed from a domestic dispute that involved the paternity of the deceased suspect's daughter.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: The media coverage of the Oktoberfest "explosive threat" has been confusing at best, but the discovery of multiple explosive devices strongly indicates that this incident is not a simple domestic. Just to be blunt, we don't know if the suspect was a German man, or a "German man", so until that detail is known this whole situation could either be a very rare and obscure (but still horrific) case that is purely a case study, or it could be a continuation of the new normal regarding terrorism threats around Europe.German authorities in typical fashion are not making it easy to determine what happened here, so some speculation is needed to piece together the basic facts of the case and to determine if any threat *still remains* regarding the final days of Oktoberfest. But rounding up all of the evidence released to the public, a general sequence of events can be organized:A 57-year-old "German" man engaged in a family dispute at a home in Lerchenau this morning. That dispute resulted in t
It's Thursday, October 2nd, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Hindus barged into church assaulted pastor and destroyed Bibles Praise God! A court in India recently acquitted a Christian who faced charges under an “anti-conversion” law. The state of Uttarakhand passed the measure in 2018. Pastor Nandan Singh Bisht was the first Christian charged under the law. He faced years of legal battles. However, a judicial magistrate finally cleared the pastor of all charges on September 17th. The case began in 2021. Pastor Bisht gathered with 25 Christians in his house for prayer. In response, local Hindus barged into the house, destroyed their Bibles, and assaulted the pastor. Despite the ordeal, Pastor Bisht told Morning Star News that God was “always faithful and sustained my family's needs. This is the result of answered prayers.” In Matthew 5:11-12, Jesus said, “Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in Heaven.” Filipino earthquake kills 60 A 6.9-magnitude earthquake struck the Philippines on Tuesday. The powerful quake killed at least 60 people and injured over 150 more. Philippine Red Cross Chairman Richard Gordon told CNN, “Some churches partially collapsed, and some schools had to be evacuated. This [earthquake] was a sleeper. It crept up on us.” Wycliff Bible Translators released 23 complete Bibles & 95 New Testaments Wycliffe Bible Translators released their latest statistics on Tuesday. Over the past year, translators have released 23 complete Bibles and 95 New Testaments. This work brings the whole Bible to nearly 200 million more people. James Poole, the executive director of Wycliffe Bible Translators, stated, “In recent years, we have seen an extraordinary surge in Bible translation. Progress is happening at a pace and scale not witnessed before, and whole communities are beginning to receive the Scriptures far sooner than we could once have imagined.” Scottish police arrest pro-life grandmother for second time Police in Scotland recently re-arrested a 75-year-old pro-life grandmother for standing outside an abortion mill Rose Docherty simply held a sign that read, “Coercion is a crime, here to talk, only if you want.” It's the second time authorities arrested her under Scotland's buffer zone law. The U.S. State Department told The Telegraph, “The arrest of Rose Docherty is another egregious example of the tyrannical suppression of free speech happening across Europe.” U.S. Gov't shutdown @ midnight Wednesday The U.S. government entered a shutdown at midnight on Wednesday. Congressional leaders could not reach a deal to pass a spending bill by the deadline. Republicans are calling for spending cuts, while Democrats are pushing for more social programs and foreign aid. Listen to comments from Vice President J.D. Vance. VANCE: “To the American people who are watching, the reason your government is shut down at this very minute is because, despite the fact that the overwhelming majority of congressional Republicans and even a few moderate Democrats supported opening the government, the Chuck Schumer/AOC wing of the Democratic Party shut down the government because they said to us, ‘We will open the government, but only if you give billions of dollars of funding for healthcare for illegal aliens.” Previously, the federal government has had 20 funding gaps, resulting in 10 shutdowns since 1976. Contemporary Christian Music ranked 4th and religious stations ranked 2nd Inside Radio released the top 10 radio formats based on current month counts. Religion-formatted stations ranked second, and Contemporary Christian Music ranked fourth. Of the top 10, only Contemporary Christian has welcomed new stations into the format every month over the last year. Religion-formatted stations also saw consistent growth. Other music formats like Country and Top 40 lost a significant number of stations. Public & private school students bring their Bible to school today And finally, today is Focus on the Family's annual Bring Your Bible to School Day. Nearly 1.3 million people and over 10,000 churches participated last year. Emerson Collins is the Parenting and Youth Program Manager for Focus on the Family. He told The Christian Post, “We're looking at thousands of churches, thousands of schools and 2 million students total participating.” Collins said the celebration is not just about bringing Bibles to school but also talking about Christ. He noted, “That's what we're hoping to create is the curiosity, the connection and the conversation around Christ and the Gospel.” The celebration is inspired this year by James 1:22. The verse says, “Be doers of the Word, and not hearers only.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, October 2nd, in the year of our Lord 2025.

Jackie Kay is one of the best known and most popular Scottish literary figures. A poet and novelist, she served as Makar - the name for Scotland's poet laureate - for five years from 2016. Since her debut poetry collection The Adoption Papers in 1991, she has published 20 works of fiction and verse for adults and children, and a memoir about meeting her biological parents called Red Dust Road. Jackie Kay was made a CBE for services to literature in 2020.Jackie talks to John Wilson about her childhood in Glasgow as the mixed-race, adopted daughter of a loving couple. From a young age, Jackie was entranced by the parties her parents hosted in their house to raise money for the Communist Party and where they would debate and sing songs. It was her first introduction to performance and theatre. As a teenager, hearing poets such as Tom Leonard and Liz Lochhead recite their own work also had a big impact on her literary aspirations.Growing up in the Glasgow of the 60s and 70s, Jackie had very few black role models and took inspiration from the work of the African American poet Audre Lorde and the American political activist Angela Davis. Jackie also recalls finding her birth parents and how a visit to her birth father's ancestral village in Nigeria finally gave her a sense of dual identity.Producer: Edwina PitmanOther poets who have appeared on This Cultural Life include Michael Rosen, Linton Kwesi Johnson and George The Poet, along with children's authors including Katherine Rundell and Michael Morpurgo. You can find them in the This Cultural Life archive, which contains over 130 previous episodes.

Stepping onto Egyptian soil in 2006, Fotoula Adrimi's soul knew that this was home on Earth. Goddess Isis lifted the veil of time from her eyes, revealing an ancient world where spiritual awakening is possible and whose mysticism can be retrieved to help life now. These pages will remind you of ancient teachings aimed at rediscovering our origin as beings of light who have come to Earth to experience and awaken. Egypt is a source of fascination that keeps calling the soul back from one lifetime to the next. What is the source of power emanating from the temples, the statues of the gods and goddesses, and the strange images on the walls? What happens when we consciously enter the vortex of etheric energy placed deliberately by the ancients? We might find that we are never the same. This book takes us on a journey through time and space, through dimensions and different realities, through self-acceptance and self-love, to lead us back into our infinite spirit, where the source of magic exists.Fotoula Adrimi, BA(Hons), MSc, is the director of the ISIS School of Holistic Health, an international school of healing arts, spiritual development, and inner transformation through vibrational energy work, enlightened teachings, shamanism, and meditation. She is part of the global network of Shamanic Teachers under Sandra Ingerman. Fotoula lives and works in Glasgow, Scotland, has taught in Germany and the Netherlands, and has led spiritual pilgrimages to Egypt. Her first book, The Golden Book of Wisdom: Ancient Spirituality and Shamanism for Modern Times, is an Amazon UK bestseller.https://www.theisisschoolofholistichealth.com/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.
I always like to create a mix for autumn but this year I got bust and never got around to it. Thankfully The Lonely Bell has that covered. The Lonely Bell is Ali Murray who hails from the Isle of Lewis in Scotland. He has been producing for ten years and I have been a fan since 2022's "Kingdom of the Deep." The Lonely Bell has a new album out so to celebrate we have this new mix. Here what Ali says about this mix: "As the seasons begin to change, and late summer gradually fades into the dark, cold, wet, blustery days of early autumn here on the Isle of Lewis (Scotland) - I wanted to create a guest mix of ambient tracks that aurally reflect the quiet sadness and barren beauty that fills the air (and the heart) at this time of year. These tracks have been soundtracking my days during this seasonal shift, and I find that each individual track is dense with this strange and mysterious form of autumnal melancholy that is simultaneously haunting and comforting.... The mix also coincides with the release of my latest album 'Time Beyond The Edges' - an album of collaboration pieces with fellow ambient artists and experimental composers from around the globe, which came out on Shady Ridge Records on Sept 26th. The mix is bookended by two of the tracks from this release..."

It has been more than two weeks since George, Allison, and Michelle got together, so we spent this week catching up on a few things. First, we discussed Allison's interview with Jeff Garmire that we published last week. Despite being incredibly tired from his incredible self-supported record on the Appalachian Trail, Jeff had some insightful things to share, and we wanted to go back over that stuff. In addition, we talked about George's race over the weekend at the Loch Ness Marathon in Scotland, including how the race unfolded, what the course was like, and how he finished. We then checked in on Michelle's New York City Marathon training and Allison's final preparations for next week's Hartford Marathon!
In 1971, Led Zeppelin holed up in an old English house in the countryside to make the album that would crown them the biggest rock band on earth. But they weren't alone inside Headley Grange. This is a story about obsession, occult rituals, and music made in the shadows. About pentagrams. About black magick. About a song that felt like it was being written by an unseen spirit. And about a house that went from forgotten ruin to something far stranger—and the band that may have changed that house forever.

The segment explores different endpoints of the Viking Age. 1066 AD is often cited, but this is Anglocentric. That year saw Harald Hardrada, King of Norway (whose claim descended from Cnut's North Sea Empire), killed by Harold Godwinson at the Battle of Stamford Bridge. Normans (Northmen) like William were culturally assimilated Vikings, meaning Vikings were effectively fighting Vikings. A later ending point is the 1263 AD Battle of Largs, a series of skirmishes between King Hákon of Norway and King Alexander III of Scotland over control of the Norse-inflected Western Isles. Hákon's subsequent death in Orkney led to Norwayrelinquishing the Isles to Scotland. 1893
