Podcasts about Inferno

Mark Booth is the author of several comprehensive books including The Sacred History: How Angels, Mystics, and Higher Intelligence Made Our World, The Secret History of the World,  The Secret History of the Universe: How Ancient Wisdom Made the Modern World, and The Secret History of Dante: Unearthing the Mysteries of the Inferno. Mark explores the esoteric and initiatory dimensions of Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy, linking the poet's vivid journey through Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven to the ancient mystery-school traditions that survived in the Knights Templar. He examines Dante's close connection to Brunetto Latini, the Templars' influence on the poem's cosmology and imagery, and the ways Dante's unconsummated love for Beatrice elevates romantic love into a cosmic, spiritual force. Booth also discusses how Dante's experience of initiation beneath the streets of Florence, his portrayal of contemporary figures in Hell, and his vision of a universe moved entirely by love reveal a hidden mystical current running through medieval Catholicism and Western culture. 00:00:00 Introduction 00:04:09 Dante and Beatrice 00:12:51 Knights Templar origins 00:21:08 Templars and Dante 00:27:41 Virgil as guide 00:32:37 Templar persecution 00:37:14 Church and occult 00:42:13 Popes in hell 00:44:50 Conclusion New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man.

Piccarda Donati finally answers the question about who she is. She's given her name but not much else about her. In twelve lines (or four tercets) she brings her personal story to its violent yet elliptical conclusion.Before that the poet has to explain what he's learned, the pilgrim has to express what his time with her has felt like, and then she gets to take center stage . . . and not fully answer the question.Piccarda Donati is one of the strongest feminist characters in COMEDY. Her voice is an essential part of the puzzle that includes Francesca from INFERNO and Pia from PURGATORIO.Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we explore the conclusion to Piccarda's story.If you'd like to help underwrite the many fees associated with this podcast, you can make a donation or even offer a small monthly stipend through this PayPal link right here.Here are the segments for this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE:[01:12] My English translation of PARADISO, Canto III, Lines 88 - 108.

1917 British patrols walked into Serre without firing a shot. The Germans had gone - withdrawn back to the Hindenburg Line, abandoning ground over which some one million men had been killed and wounded. Four months after the Battle of the Somme officially ended, the British were left masters of the field - but it was a field of shell holes, ruins and unburied corpses. Were they the victors?

My name is Jonathan Moeller. Today is September 11th, 2026, and today I'm discussing how I learned to write fast. Before we get to all that, we will have Coupon of the Week and a progress update on my current writing, publishing, and audiobook projects. This week's coupon code will get you 50% off the audiobook of Ghost in the Stone, Book #5 in The Ghosts series (as excellently narrated by Hollis McCarthy) at my Payhip store. That coupon code is FALLSTONE. As always, we will include the links and the coupon code in the show notes for this episode. This coupon code will be valid through September 28th, 2026. So if you need a new audiobook this fall, we have got you covered. Now let's have an update on my current writing, publishing, and audiobook projects. For Blade of Visions, which is my main project right now, the rough draft is done, the first editing pass is done, and I'm hoping to start on the second editing pass as soon as I finish recording this episode. So if all goes well and nothing unexpected happens, I very much hope that the book will be out a week from when this episode goes live. So a week from whenever you listen to this, check your favorite ebook store and hopefully Blade of Visions will be there. And of course you can always listen to this podcast and watch my website and social media for other announcements. My secondary project is Elven-Warlock, the seventh book in the Rivah Half-Elven series. I am currently 16,000 words into that. As soon as Blade of Visions is published, Elven-Warlock will then be my new main project and if all goes well, I hope to have that out in October sometime. In audiobook news, as I mentioned last week, Blade of Thieves and Cloak of Worlds should now be available at all the different audiobook stores. Hollis McCarthy is currently recording Cloak of Summoning and we should have some updates on that soon. In a bit of exciting audiobook news from that or related to that, I should mention that Hollis McCarthy was announced as a finalist for Narrator of Distinction for the Professional Audiobook Narrators Association for her work on Cloak of Embers, which was Cloak Mage #10. So if you get a chance, be sure to congratulate Hollis for that if you hang out on my social media pages. So that's where I'm at with my current writing, publishing, and audiobook projects. 00:02:25 How I Learned to Write Fast Now let's move on to my main topic, how I learn to write fast. Occasionally I will see a new indie author looking with dismay at how much time it takes to write and expressing the opinion that it must be impossible to write a million words a year without the aid of generative AI. Ha, no. I should point out that I wrote a million words in 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020 and back then the current AI tech bros were still searching for the big scam that would one day make them rich. They tried crypto and NFTs in the interim. ChatGPT would not be inflicted upon the world until the end of 2022. Admittedly, I didn't write a million new words in 2021, 2022 and 2023, but that was from a combination of personal issues taking up time and illness. I still hit between 800,000 and 900,000 in those three years. In 2024 and 2025, I wrote a million new words. I might or might not hit a million new words in 2026, and it largely depends on how the rest of the year goes. I had to take a lot of time off in spring and summer, and that really slowed me down. I did hit 700,000 words once Blade of Visions was done, so we'll see what happens the remaining four months of the year. But yes, if you're writing full-time, a million words in a year is certainly achievable, though as with all things it takes practice and can be subject to events. With that in mind, I thought I would explain how I was able over time to ramp up to writing a million new words in a year. It was less something I set out consciously to do when I started this in 2011 and more a step-by-step evolutionary process that took several years. By the grace of God, I have been indie publishing for almost 15 and a half years now. So here's the process of how I ended up writing a million words in a year. #1: Tech Writing Back in the second half of the 2000s, I used to do a lot of tech blogging, mostly about Linux, and I also did tech support, which frequently involved writing FAQs and guides for how to connect your Blackberry or Windows Mobile device to the company email or whatever. In retrospect, Blackberry and Windows Mobile were both terrible operating systems, so it's not surprising the iPhone and later Android blew them out of the water. Anyway, tech blogging taught me the value of writing quickly. Back then, you could still make money off Google AdSense, and so if I could write quickly on a tech topic, I could post it, get Google traffic, and then make a little bit of money from Google Ads. Writing FAQs and guides also taught me the value of writing as concisely and as clearly as possible. President Franklin D. Roosevelt famously said of public speaking that the best approach to public speaking was "be sincere, be brief, be seated", and that's also true of technical guides. Back then, I was working on novels as well, specifically what would end up becoming the first three Caina books, but I never wrote more than a thousand words a day of fiction unless I was bored or I was really inspired, neither of which happened all that often. #2: Soul of Serpents By the end of 2010, I had sworn off trying to get traditionally published and decided to focus on tech blogging, but then I got my first Kindle after Thanksgiving in 2010, and I realized there had to be a way to make money off this thing. This led me to discovering Kindle Direct Publishing, Barnes & Noble, Smashwords, and the other early self-publishing platforms. I published Demonsouled, Soul of Tyrants, and the first three Caina books, and then I decided I'd write one more Demonsouled book to finish off the story. It always annoyed me to no end that I'd never gotten to write a sequel to Soul of Tyrants, but now that the opportunity was here, I decided that I would have a Demonsouled trilogy and Soul of Serpents would be the last novel I would ever write, which goes to show I may not be that great at telling the future. Soul of Serpents was the first book I ever wrote specifically intended for self-publishing instead of submitting it to legacy publishers. I wrote it over the summer of 2011, and I figured if I wrote 1,500 words a day, I could get the rough draft of the book done by the end of the summer, which I did, and I ended up publishing it at the end of August of that month. That was also why I made Demonsouled and Child of the Ghosts free for the first time, which meant that their sequels started to sell a little bit. I was actually beginning to make a little bit of money off my novels for the first time in my life, which was very exciting. It also meant that I wanted to continue the Demonsouled series past the third book, which leads us to the next phase of our story. #3: Soul of Dragons In the second half of 2011, I was extremely busy. I had a full-time job and I had a part-time job that required a lot of off-the-clock preparation. Despite that, I was determined to write Soul of Dragons, so I pushed onward when I could. This was when I began writing during my lunch break for the first time, but I often didn't get to my 1,500 words a day during lunch. So by the time I got home at the end of the day, which was frequently between 9:00 and 10:00 PM, I would frequently squeeze in my remaining words (sometimes all my words), before I went to sleep, only to wake up at 5:45 AM to go to the gym. This level of workload, as you can imagine, was absolutely exhausting, and I don't recommend it, but I still did it. I think it was necessary to learn to write a novel under a state of extreme strain since that was good practice for the 160 books that would follow Soul of Dragons. If I wrote only when I was perfectly calm and there was nothing else demanding my time or attention, I would never get any writing done at all. I really hate to give career advice to younger people since so much of the advice they receive these days is obsolete at best and malicious and condescending at worst. In economic terms, 2026 might well be another planet compared to 1976 or 2000, but sometimes in life you really do have to put in a maximum effort over a sustained amount of time (even if it's approaching midnight, you have to get up in five hours, and you still have 500 words to go before you can sleep). That said, if at all possible, I would advise only putting in that kind of effort if you're working for yourself and not for an employer that will lay you off the instant the stock price dips slightly. It took a while, but I did it. Soul of Dragons came out in February of 2012 and sold pretty well. By this time, the books were selling well enough that while I didn't want to go full-time, they were providing a nice cushion against the unexpected vagaries of life. My full-time employer was also heading towards trouble, so I decided to keep writing. #4: Ghost in the Storm My next book in early 2012 after finishing Soul of Dragons was Ghost in the Storm. Like with Demonsouled and Soul of Tyrants, I was always disappointed that I never got to continue Caina's story past the end of Ghost in the Blood, and so I was excited to start Ghost in the Storm. Little did I know that Caina's story would continue for another 30 books past that. I wanted to write faster, so I settled on a goal of 3,000 words a day for Ghost in the Storm. I would write as much as I could in the morning, then over my lunch break, and then finish my 3,000 words, hopefully in the evening before I went to bed. I very distinctly recall that in March of 2012, I was in the process of moving to a new apartment. I bought a couch and scheduled it to be delivered that morning at about 10:00 AM. So I took the morning off, brought my laptop and a folding chair to the empty apartment and wrote, and I kept writing and writing, and the couch never showed up. Finally, in exasperation, I had run out of my hours off, so I had to go to work only to get the call at 4:00 PM that the couch guys had finally showed up and needed me to let them in. I begged them to stay where they were, broke the speed limit to get back to the apartment, and arrived just as they were walking back to their truck. Thankfully, I was able to convince them to deliver the couch. As annoying as that day turned out to be, it worked out well because I got the new couch and I also wrote a bunch of Ghosts in the Storm, which ended up coming out towards the end of April 2012. #5: Ghost Aria In summer 2012, I wrote Soul of Sorcery, which was a huge book that took a long time to write, but it was also the first book I ever wrote that made it to any bestseller list of any kind on amazon.com, which was a pleasant milestone. After Soul of Sorcery, I started working on Ghost in the Stone and finished it up in early 2013. For both Soul of Sorcery and Ghost in the Stone, I had stuck to 3,000 words a day. By then, I had started working more on marketing, so I had an email newsletter. It had occurred to me that giving something away for free in the newsletter might be a great way to drive newsletter engagement, and I'd always liked writing short stories back in the 2000s. So why not write a bonus short story related to the book and give it away for free? So that was where Ghost Aria came from. It was the first short story I gave away for free with my newsletter. Since then, I've written hundreds of short stories and given away tens of thousands of them, so I think it was a good decision. #6: Dual projects In 2015, I had the opportunity to write a tie-in novel for a game product, which I wanted to do, yet I hesitated because I was working on Ghost in the Inferno at the time, and I knew Ghost in the Inferno would actually sell and make some money. The tie-in book was a roll of the dice, but it was a good enough opportunity that I wanted to take it, or so it seemed at the time, but I didn't want to stop working on Ghost in the Inferno, so I did both. Ghost in the Inferno was my main project, and the game book was my secondary one where I squeezed out a couple hundred words a day. Once Ghost in the Inferno was done, I finished the game book relatively quickly. Of course, nothing ever came of it. The game company and the book company fell out and then respectively went out of business, and the game tie in book never saw the light of day. I would've been better off not writing the tie in novel, except I gained a valuable skill from the experience. Before that, I had only ever worked on one fiction project at a time. Now I had taught myself to do two at once. Ever since then, I have followed my primary/secondary project model while trying to get as many words down as possible in my primary project, but I also write 250 words or so of my secondary project before I go to the gym in the morning while I'm having my coffee. So when I finish my primary project, I'm usually about 10,000 to 20,000 words into my secondary project, which gets promoted to my new primary project. For example, Blade of Visions is almost done, but my secondary project, Elven-Warlock, is currently at 16,000 words, so that gives everything a nice little speed boost. I suppose this is yet another example of the lesson that if you're going to work really, really hard on something, if possible, you should be working for yourself and not on spec for someone else. Anyway, the primary/secondary project system has been really helpful to me, especially after I went full-time, which we will discuss next. #7: Time for Full-time So that was the paradigm I followed for the next four years from 2012 to 2016. I aimed for 3,000 words a day and mostly kept to it. I usually ended up writing between 500,000 and 600,000 words a year. I finished Demonsouled and The Ghosts and started on Frostborn and Ghost Exile, and then on a whim started writing Cloak Games in 2015 as a secondary project. 27 books later, Cloak Games/Cloak Mage has likewise turned out to be much longer than I thought. Frostborn also really took off in 2016, which was nice. I would've been perfectly content to continue working full-time and writing as a side gig, especially since I no longer had that part-time job because the books were paying better. That said, I knew in the back of my mind I could go full-time if it became necessary, especially if my employer went under or had layoffs. I admit going full-time started to become tempting as I took on more work and responsibilities after the layoffs. From 2012 to 2016, I got up at 4:30 AM every workday so I'd have time to get everything done. Admittedly, that's not a big deal and lots of people have to do that, yet I admit to this day, I still find 4 in the morning the worst time to get up to use the bathroom or to wake up before a long road trip or whatever. Somehow waking up and seeing 4 on the clock just seems so hateful. Ironically, for all the time I spent thinking about layoffs and preparing contingency plans about what I do afterward, I never actually got laid off. In 2016, I ended up needing to move to a new US state for a combination of family and personal reasons, so I had to quit. I thought about finding a new job in the tech field, but decided the time had come to start writing full-time. Since this was now my full-time job, there was no reason not to write as much as possible. In fact, that was probably a good idea if I wanted to eat, and that's when I started to trying to hit a million words a year. #8: The Rest of the 2010s So from 2016 onward, I wrote full-time. I had a million new words in 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020. I finished Ghost Exile and started Ghost Night, finished Frostborn and Sevenfold Sword and wrote most of Dragontiarna. I finished Cloak Games, started Cloak Mage, and I wrote, I think, the first nine books of Silent Order and also finished Malison. I also started doing self-published audiobooks in 2018 with Child of the Ghosts and Frostborn: The Dark Warden. 2017 was my absolute peak for word count since I hit 1.4 million words that year. Not surprisingly, that was probably my best year of sales ever since I finished Frostborn and started Sevenfold Sword in 2017, but I did hit a million words every year for the rest of the 2010s, including 2020. However, after 2020, there was trouble ahead, and you've probably guessed what it is. #9: Fun with COVID 2020 was a productive year for writing since I reached 1.2 million words and I took some Photoshop classes, which turned out to be really valuable in terms of cover design and creating marketing and ad images. It's pretty rare that I don't use Photoshop for something at least once a day now. However, as it would turn out, my big long-term problem was that the gyms in my local area closed for a long time during COVID, and I never found an adequate replacement for them. I ended up gaining a bunch of weight (with all the related health concerns that causes). In 2021, I only reached 974,000 words. Not a big deal. I thought. I'll hit a million next year. However, that didn't work as well because for a variety of personal health reasons in 2022, I only reached 814,000. I also tried a couple of new things during the early 2020s that really didn't work. In 2021, I published the two Cormac Rogan books, which people liked, but it really didn't have an audience. In 2022, I published the first book of what would become the Stealth & Spells Online trilogy, and that didn't sell very well because I misread the audience for LitRPG. Essentially, the LitRPG market wants Isekai/portal fantasy or system apocalypse type stuff, and I've written a science fiction thriller with LitRPG elements. Then in 2023, I actually got COVID, and that just laid me flat for six weeks. I barely got any work done in May and about half of June, and I realized I was going to have to make some changes. #10: Rivah Half-Elven to the Rescue First of all, I realized that I was doing too much by myself. I thought about stopping audiobooks and the podcast entirely, but instead I hired an audiobook proofer and a transcriptionist/researcher to help with that. Second, I still wanted to try something new. Cormac Rogan and Stealth & Spells hadn't worked all that well, but in April of 2023, I'd written about 8,000 words of what would become Half-Elven Thief. When I got sick over the summer, I stopped working on it to focus on finishing Dragonskull and the Silent Order series, but at the end of 2023, I dusted off the Word file, finished it, and published it in December of 2023. It had a substantially stronger first month than Stealth & Spells, so it was time to embark on the Half-Elven Thief series. #11: The Super Summer of Finishing Things I also realized that I gotten too scattered with five ongoing series at once. I decided to cut it down to three. So in the summer of 2025, I finished The Shield War, Stealth & Spells Online, and Ghost Armor. My ongoing series would be Blades of Ruin, Cloak Mage, and Half-Elven Thief. I wouldn't start on a new series until I finished one of these. From summer 2023 onward, things improved a good deal over 2021 through 2023. Audiobooks were a lot easier to do with an audiobook proofer to do the final listen, so I've done quite a bit more of those. From 2024 to 2026, I got my weight back down to a pre - COVID level with a lot of calorie counting and exercise (aided by sublimating the desire to snack into blowing up space pirates in Starfield). I did hit a million new words in both 2024 and 2025. As I mentioned, I'm not sure if I will hit a million words in 2026 or not. As I said earlier, I had to take a lot of time off this year, and it will depend on how the rest of the year goes, but I think 900,000 will be definitely achievable. #12: So What Have We Learned From All of This? As you can see, while I can write a million words a year, it took a long time to learn how to do it and a lot of practice, and if enough other things demand time and attention in a year, it's not going to happen. I think the biggest keys to writing as many words as possible in a year are persistence and tenacity. There will be many times you don't want to write, like at midnight when I still had 500 words to go on Soul of Dragons before I could go to bed, but you will need to push through and get to it. Maybe you cut back a little on time-wasting activities like TikTok, doomscrolling, and TV, especially TikTok. It is distressing to see people repeating the nonsense they see on TikTok as absolute fact. Or maybe you learn to type on 15-minute bursts in your phone in those odd blocks of time like waiting rooms or being on hold that would otherwise go to waste. I have read interviews with several people who wrote their novels on their phones while taking the train to and from work. Tenacity is also important. If you wait until circumstances are perfect to write, you will never get anything written. Granted, there are times when writing has to take a backseat to more important things in life. That's okay, that's as it should be. If you can't get a thousand words written, aim for 500. If you miss one day, then tomorrow is another day and you can try again. That is also true over a long time scale as well. If I miss writing a million words in one year, well, tomorrow is another day and next year is another year. And of course, thank you for reading all the books. There'd be no point in writing a million words a year if people didn't read them. So that is it for this week.

„Divine Intervention“ klingt wie ein Gebet mitten im Lärm unserer Gegenwart. Der Song ist gut und aktuell, weil er die Spannungen hörbar macht, die viele Menschen kennen: die Sehnsucht nach Heilung und Sinn, die Erfahrung von Angst und Unsicherheit, aber auch den Wunsch, nicht einfach zu resignieren.Theologisch kann „göttliches Eingreifen“ bedeuten: Gott lässt die Welt nicht sich selbst und ihren Krisen. Dieses Eingreifen ist nicht unbedingt ein spektakuläres Wunder, das alle Probleme sofort beseitigt. Es kann auch darin bestehen, dass Menschen sich berühren lassen, dass sie hinschauen, sich einmischen und füreinander Verantwortung übernehmen. Gott greift in die Welt ein, wenn Menschen den Mut finden, Frieden statt Feindbilder zu suchen, Gerechtigkeit statt Gleichgültigkeit einzufordern und Liebe gegen die kalte Logik des Eigennutzes zu setzen. Als negatives Bild dienen hier die Milliardäre, die sich in ihre Bunker im Himmel absetzen.Aber es gibt auch etwas anderes:Mm, when the walls cave inAnd the lights go dimAnd I drag you out again Zwischen „Divine Intervention“ und Street Fighting Man lässt sich eine Haltung des Nicht-Aufgebens hören. Besonders die Zeile „When they try to arrest you, I come to your rescue“ ist ein starkes Bild für Solidarität: Wenn jemand unter Druck gerät, wenn jemand zum Schweigen gebracht oder ausgegrenzt werden soll, dann gehe ich nicht weg. Ich stehe zu dir.Im Song erhält Mick Jagger eine so schreckliche Prognose für seine Zukunft, dass die Wahrsagerin zusammenbricht – und da erinnert sich Mick dann an Street Fighting Man - „What can a poor boy do, except to sing for a rock 'n' roll band?“. 2026 ist die Antwort im Angesicht des Untergangs dieselbe: Er kapituliert nicht vor den Mächtigen, er besorgt sich eine Gitarre und geht lieber „in einem flammenden Inferno unter“ I go to dance in the Flames, yeah – wenn die mir das Leben zur Hölle machen wollen – dann tanze ich in den Flammen – und ich helfe dir - And I drag you out againFoto © Kevin MazurHomepage: https://7tage1song.dePlaylist Podcast und Song: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/20KHRuuW0YqS7ZyHUdlKO4?si=b6ea0b237af041ecInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/7tage1song/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pg/7tage1song/Kontakt: post@7tage1song.deLink zum Song: https://open.spotify.com/intl-de/track/1BqDpIOzTzfJCZZc89lpAe?si=4db6725db78a4199Spotify Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0M5tOXTC0lM8RVycUBQnjy?si=idKC-CFaRp2ZD992gvWvsQ

This week on Overtime on Inferno, Quacke is joined by special guest Btrams whilst Sam is on holiday. Btrams puts his tin foil hat on for us and questions HLTV's decision to award donk the BLAST Porto MVP, as it doesn't line up with their previous decision making on MVPs. It's also looking like cmtry is out of FUT after an especially poor BLAST Porto. As expected, Btrams has the stats to back up the decision to cut cmtry, and Quacke is glazing his potential replacement from the depths of tier-two CS.Join the discord:https://discord.gg/X3jU4djxUK

In Part 6 of the “Years of Lead” series on “No Way, Jose!”, host Jose Galison returns with parapolitical researcher Doc Inferno to continue the Aldo Moro saga. NWJ905 picks up after the kidnapping and focuses on the captivity period itself: the tense communications that passed between Moro, the Red Brigades, and the Italian government, and the striking level of planning that made the abduction and detention possible. The conversation also glances at key surrounding figures, including Adriana Faranda, Giulio Andreotti, and other lesser-known players who hovered around this crisis.Jose Galison and Doc Inferno unpack what those letters, negotiations, and logistical choices reveal about the Italian state, the militants, and the political atmosphere of 1978—while saving the final outcome for the next episode. This installment is less about a single dramatic moment and more about the hidden machinery behind it: who was talking, who wasn't, and what the scale of the operation implies. Whether you've followed every chapter of the series or are catching up now, Pt 6 is a dense, gripping look at one of the most closely studied episodes of the Years of Lead.Subscribe to Doc's Channel- https://www.youtube.com/@UCQC_OpQR9aMgA-86rufjHyQPlease consider supporting my work-Patreon- https://www.patreon.com/nowayjose2020Only costs $2/month and will get you access to episodes earlier than the publicNo Way, Jose!

Pope Boniface VIII, King Philip IV of France, and Dante Alighieri all believed in Christendom, but they had radically different ideas about how spiritual and temporal power should fit together. From Unam Sanctam and the attack on Boniface at Anagni to Dante's Inferno, Purgatorio, and Monarchia, this episode explores the medieval fault line beneath the struggle between pope and king. None of these men were trying to create the modern separation of church and state; all three were profoundly medieval, fighting over what Christendom itself ought to be. #HistoryOfThePapacy #BonifaceVIII #Dante #PhilipTheFair #MedievalHistory #ChurchHistory #Papacy #Christendom #UnamSanctam #DivineComedy Let us know what you think about this episode in the comments section below!

This week I'm joined by A.A. from the Norwegian black metal outfit Malum to dig into their excellent new album, “From The Voids”. We get into the band's origins as a studio project, the evolution of their sound from their debut, “In Nauseam”, to the new record, and the intersection of Polish and Norwegian character that has emerged in their music. We also talk about taking Malum from the studio to the stage, their appearances at Inferno, the challenges of maintaining anonymity in the middle of Oslo's black metal scene, and what the future might hold for a band that increasingly looks like it's on the verge of becoming something much bigger. On the weekly news rant, I'm joined by two surprise guests - long-time Legion General, @kelu666, and my good friend, Katy Irizarry from Suspiria PR. We celebrate the brilliance of the latest singles by Carnifex, Wayfarer and Manveira, while wailing in despair at the career-worst humiliations offered by the new Pain and Fear Factory tracks. We also talk essential Metallica tracks, bad tour booking and on my Swirly of the Week, the world's worst bedroom techno dork pays a visit to the Porcelain Bowl of Reckoning.    Featured Bands Malum: https://norwegianmalum.bandcamp.com/     Immiserator: https://immiserator.bandcamp.com/    Ovate: https://www.facebook.com/ovatemusic/     Visit intothenecrosphere.com for playlists and more.

Guido Guerra was one of the most respected Guelph leaders of medieval Florence: a soldier, statesman, and civic hero whom Dante himself clearly admired. So why does Dante place him deep in the Inferno among those punished for violence against nature? In this episode, we move from Guido the historical man, to medieval ideas about sin and salvation, and finally to a larger question: are we reading Dante as a historian when we should also be reading him as a poet passing judgment on the Florence that exiled him? #HistoryOfThePapacy #Dante #DivineComedy #Inferno #GuidoGuerra #MedievalHistory #Florence #Guelphs #ChurchHistory #ItalianHistory Let us know what you think about this episode in the comments section below!

Um cavaleiro misterioso surge das areias escaldantes do deserto e cavalga até Lago, uma cidadezinha assombrada por segredos e medos. Em poucos minutos, ele mata três pistoleiros e deixa todos em choque. Os moradores, desesperados, contratam o Estranho para protegê-los de bandidos que estão prestes a chegar.Mas o preço da proteção é alto: ele exige que a cidade inteira seja pintada de vermelho e renomeada para “Inferno”. A cada ordem absurda, os habitantes percebem que não contrataram um herói, mas sim um homem com uma agenda própria — talvez vingança, talvez justiça, talvez apenas caos.O resultado é uma mistura de suspense, humor ácido e atmosfera sobrenatural, em que ninguém sabe se o Estranho é um salvador, um fantasma ou apenas um pistoleiro com muito estilo e pouca paciência.Direção: Clint Eastwood (seu segundo filme como diretor e primeiro faroeste)Título no Brasil: O Estranho sem NomeTítulo em Portugal: O Pistoleiro do DiaboElenco: Clint Eastwood, Verna Bloom, Marianna Hill, Mitchell RyanPIX: canalfilmesegames@gmail.comSiga o Filmes e Games:Instagram: filmesegames Facebook: filmesegames Twitter: filmesegamesSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5KfJKthIntro - 0:00 High Planes Driveture - 10:02O que é "O Estranho sem Nome"? - 11:43Notas dos agregadores - 13:21Tirando o bode da sala - 13:57O "Estranho" e a vingança - 35:43O sobrenatural do Clint - 40:11A recepção - 44:15Sobre clima - 46:04Terra arrasada - 47:40O fim - 48:50Um ser do inferno e suas regras - 50:04Bilheteria - 53:19Um "remake inverso" - 54:02Notas do Filmes e Games - 54:59Momento Locadora - 57:45Revelação do FGcast #431 - 1:46:40Dicas do FGcast #432 - 1:55:03

This week on Overtime on Inferno, Sam gets back from EWC and puts Quacke's debating skills to the test as they discuss the Vitality era. Quacke believes their era is over, but Sam argues their recent failures will be forgotten if they return to winning ways at the end of the season. Why is Sam holding onto the idea of Vitality winning Singapore? Well, neither him or Quacke are best impressed with Falcons' and Spirit's lack of consistency this season.

Kollin Kennedy reimagines Dante's Canto V from the Inferno, the story of lovers Paolo and Francesca

What happens when video games become more than entertainment—and become a career, a business, a sport, and an economic engine?We sit down with Jairo Urcuyo, Founder & CEO of Vegas Inferno, a Las Vegas esports organization with an ambitious vision: help make Las Vegas a premier destination for esports and establish Vegas Inferno as the city's official esports team.For Jairo, gaming isn't just a business opportunity—it's personal.As a military kid, Jairo grew up constantly moving from place to place. In a life where everything could change, video games provided something incredibly important: consistency, community and a sense of belonging. What started as a source of comfort eventually became a vision for his future.

Before getting into the latest on EWC, the two of them dissect ENC being delayed for a year, and Passion UA being the latest esports org to get exposed by Luis Mira.As far as the actual Counter-Strike goes, the EWC bracket is now finalised, and the bottom of the bracket is looking stacked with top teams. Well, at least to people with eyes and a functioning brain. Aizyesque reckons it's "relatively even", which is why he is our take of the week.Join the discord:https://discord.gg/X3jU4djxUK

We know this isn't the first time we've preached the wonders of silent films, but there are so many amazing movies from that era. As the horror historians that we all are, it's always fascinating to look back at where it all began. Fans often point to the 1930s and the Universal Studios classics as "the beginning," but horror was already there long before then—even if no one was necessarily calling these movies horror films yet. In this episode, we're going to dig into the 1910s and 1920s to look not only at the films being made, but also at what was happening in the world around them and how those events may have influenced and changed what audiences were seeing on screen.

Welcome to Manhwa Monday!This week we're diving into Fog Land by POGO, an action horror series on Webtoon that takes Dante's Divine Comedy and turns it into a supermax prison nightmare.Dante Kang is a science teacher who believes everyone deserves education, even the worst criminals on Earth. So he volunteers to teach inside Fog Land, a mysterious international prison built in a meteor crater that houses the world's most dangerous inmates. His first class ends in a violent riot that kills most of his fellow teachers, and now he's trapped inside with no way out.Fog Land isn't just a prison though. It's an entire city unto itself, drenched in a mysterious substance called Fog that transforms people into superhuman monsters and keeps them addicted, with withdrawal sending them into a comatose state called Limbo. Now Dante has to navigate through nine circles of literal hell to escape, armed with nothing but his brain and the belief that even the people in here are still human. The author has planned nine seasons to match the nine circles, potentially spanning a decade of storytelling.If you want a manhwa that goes full Dante's Inferno with body horror, incredible world building, and a protagonist who refuses to stop caring, this one's already being called a masterpiece in the making.If you enjoy the show, please rate, review, like, and subscribe to Sakura Society | An Anime Appreciation Podcast — and any other podcasts you love.

Our poet steps out of the shadows with an important message: "Go home."Because PARADISO is hard. Because we might get lost. Because we're not prepared.The stark address to all readers--or perhaps to a much more limited set of specialty readers--that opens Canto II is one of the most unusual moments in COMEDY.

Put that Twinkie down, you slob, and let's talk about GLUTTONY. The fourth circle of hell is where Dante encounters the people who lived their lives scarfing down cannoli and now spend their afterlife getting pelted with slime and chewed up by the three-headed beast Cerberus. It's also where the poet subtly introduces some key concepts that help make sense of the whole poem--the relation between body and soul, the nature of civil war, and ordo amoris--the principle of love that structures the entire divine comedy.

The fires happening across the globe this summer feel as though they are being manufactured to cause chaos, but that would be crazy to believe, right? The statistics scream that this is unnatural, while the media continues to push the narrative that climate change is the cause. Canada, France, Spain, and Germany are all burning at three to four times the normal rate for the summer fire season, with questions surrounding the authentic nature of the origins. Why were arson teams deployed to create havoc on behalf of a foreign nation in Argentina in February, and is that tactic the reason these fires are happening across the world?---Macroaggressionswww.Macroaggressions.ioMerch StoreLink Tree Video ChannelsRumble | YouTube | BrighteonActivist PostNewsletter Sign UpAudiobooksHypocrazyThe Octopus of Global ControlSupport Our SponsorsReplace Your Mortgage: www.WipeOutYourMortgageNow.comGround Luxe Grounding MatsC60 Power | Promo Code: MACROChemical Free Body | Promo Code: MACROWise Wolf Gold & SilverLegalShield: www.DontGetPushedAround.comChristian Yordanov's Health ProgramThe Dollar VigilanteNesa's Hemp | Promo Code: MACROAugason Farms

This week on Overtime on Inferno, Sam and Quacke spend a large portion of the episode on the take of the week segment. In all fairness, unironically suggesting deko could replace sh1ro is quite outrageous.The EWC qualifiers also happened, and somehow, a blockbuster game between s1mple and dev1ce in the year 2026 featured in the later stages of the LAN.

Planet X-Men and Power of X-Men have feels! So let's get into this Exodus focused episode!

Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here! In this week's episode we take the first step on the journey through The Hero of a Thousand Faces by Joseph Campbell and discuss, with nerd-like passion, the nuance surrounding each specific stage of the hero's journey as explained in the text. For a podcast that geeks out about symbolism; it doesn't get much more bread and butter than this. In the free side of the show we make it through the first four stages of the heroes journey: The Mundane World, The Call to Adventure, Refusal of the Call and Supernatural Aid; touching upon the variety (or lack thereof) you can expect in each stage while using mythology both modern and classic as guide posts along the way. In the extended show we discuss Crossing the Threshold, the tremendous ordeal of being swallowed within the Belly of the Whale and the laundry list of trials each hero faces on their path to either Mordor or tax season. Thank you and enjoy the show.DISCLAIMER:I think we need to clear up some confusion. First of all, I'm very tired. Secondly, I'm very tired. Thirdly, the book we're studying, Hero with a Thousand Faces is by Joseph Campbell but is BASED upon Carl Jung's ideas of the collective unconscious, the archetypes and the path to individuation by interaction with. When you're manically alternating between exhaustion and manic excitement it's easy to get the Cs and Js confused ok?? That being said, Jung is quoted numerous times throughout the text. At this point just assume we've mixed up the names a number of times during  this specific recording. My apologies. I'll sleep when I'm dead. In this week's show we discuss:-The World of the NPC: The Office, the Shire and Tatooine -The Call to Adventure: Neo, Barbie and Danny from the Shining-Refusal of the Call: King Minos, Cypher and Luke Skywalker-Supernatural Aid: Morphes, Beatrice of Dante's Inferno, Weird Barbie-Magickal Black-Man Tropes In the extended show available at www.patreon.com/TheWholeRabbit we go further down the heroes rabbit hole (gross) and discuss:-Crossing the Threshold: Walking Through the Mirror, Entering the Temple, Vagina Dentata-The Belly of the Whale: Being Pilled, The Trash Compactor, Jonah-The Road of Trials: John Wick, Hercules, Pan's Labrynth and Alice in Wonderland. This episode was written by Luke Madrid in collaboration with Tim Hacker who wrote the skeleton of the schizo's journey for each seventeen stages with commentaries.

Some of the best cannabis stories are about redemption.This episode was filmed at Mary Jane Berlin from the incredible Mills Nutrients activation, where JP sat down with Mile High Dave for an honest conversation about one of the wildest journeys in cannabis.Growing up in Southern California, Dave's passion for the plant led him down a path that eventually put him on the run from law enforcement for nearly a decade. During those years, he continued cultivating, refining his craft, and developing the obsessive attention to detail that would later define his reputation as a grower.When cannabis legalization opened new doors in Colorado, Dave made the decision to face his past, clear his outstanding legal issues, and build a new life around the plant he always believed in. Today, he's known as an award-winning breeder and cultivator whose genetics have earned respect across the cannabis community. His celebrated Dante's Inferno #6 phenotype has won multiple competitions, and he's become known for meticulous pheno hunting and selecting elite keeper cuts. Now living in Minnesota with his wife and two children, Dave continues hunting exceptional genetics while watching the next chapter of legal cannabis unfold.

“Mythology and ancient esoteric beliefs are finally found in cutting-edge science.”—Rick Rubin, bestselling author of The Creative ActFrom the author of the global bestseller The Secret History of the World comes an epic new history of the relationship between spiritual belief and cutting-edge science. Includes beautiful black-and-white illustrations throughout.Human beings have a deep-rooted desire to find something worth believing in. But there is a widespread assumption that science is at odds with spiritual belief and offers the only intelligent way to think about the universe.In this epic new history, Mark Booth offers an alternative view, showing us how the great geniuses of modern science, from Marie Curie, Nikola Tesla, and Albert Einstein to today's architects of AI, turned instead to secret, mystical, and “higher” teachings, including Indian mysticism and Freemasonry, to make sense of the strange phenomena they were encountering.Experimenting with alternative states of consciousness, they risked isolation and even madness.Here then is the dark, dramatic story of modern science—of love, betrayal, attempted murder, multiple suicides, sexual experimentation, and transgression—from which unfolds the awe-inspiring discoveries which have transformed our lives for good, and potentially for evil. For just as the work of J. Robert Oppenheimer and others ended the Second World War but brought humanity to the brink of extinction, so, too, has the spectacular growth of AI.The result of many years of research, and deep conversations with prominent academics in the field, this book takes us on an exhilarating journey, in the company of some of the greatest minds of our age, toward a deeper understanding of our place in the cosmos.Jonathan Black is the pen name of  Mark Booth. He was educated at Ipswich School and Oriel College, Oxford, where he studied Philosophy and Theology. After a long career in publishing, he now writes full time.   ​He is the author of the global bestseller The Secret History of the World, The Secret History of Dante: Unearthing the Mysteries of the Inferno and The Sacred History of the World: How Angels, Mystics and Higher Intelligence Made our World.   ​His books are the result of a lifetime spent reading literature in this area, publishing many of the leading authors in the field and hanging around antiquarian bookshops.  He and his wife live in the south of England.https://www.markboothauthor.com/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.

We're in hell for real now. Dante enters the circle of the lustful, where the sinister King Minos strips souls naked and condemns them to their proper place. What does that mean? What does it mean to be "evil-born," and what does Dante show us about the nature of lust? Not, it turns out, that its wages are physical or sexual suffering, but that it has to do with broken love and broken communities--betrayal, rebellion, and adultery. Not that Dante's off the hook himself: in one of the poem's most famous episodes, the pilgrim is brought face-to-face with his own role in tempting others. Because art's not a game, and poetry has consequences. Plus: a mailbag question! Which Greek plays should you read?
