Long before European powers fixed their gaze on the Connecticut River Valley, the region that would become Brattleboro was part of a broader Abenaki homeland. The Connecticut River and its tributaries—especially the West River and Whetstone Brook—were more than waterways; they were transportation corridors, food sources, and cultural anchors...here's the story...

In this episode of Bonfire Conversations, I speak with narrative designer David Mervik, known for his work on LittleBigPlanet 3, Little Nightmares, Little Nightmares II, and the critically acclaimed Reanimal from Tarsier Studios.Originally planned around the game's launch, this conversation was postponed due to the outbreak of war in my home country, Iran. During that period, experiencing real-world uncertainty and loss gave new meaning to Reanimal's themes of fear, innocence, and survival.Together, we explore the relationship between war and storytelling, the loss of innocence, writing without dialogue, and how real-life tragedies can shape the emotional foundation of interactive narratives.David also shares insights into his creative process, inspirations, and the philosophy behind building worlds that communicate emotion beyond words.Thank you for watching and supporting Bonfire Conversations.Subscribe for more conversations with filmmakers, game developers, composers, and storytellers shaping the world of modern narrative art.Chatpers:0:00 - Introduction & Welcome1:16 - Postponing the Interview: Living Through War in Iran3:18 - The Inception and Themes of Reanimal10:50 - Addressing War Without Glorifying It11:38 - Childhood Memories & Influences on Tarsier's Games15:11 - Evolving as a Person and a Parent16:47 - Growing Up in the UK and Stumbling Into Sweden19:03 - Finding a Passion for Writing and Narrative Design21:35 - Moving to Tarsier Studios & Transitioning Away From Level Design22:27 - Telling Stories With Fewer Words: The Power of Minimalism28:31 - Penny for Your Thoughts: Finding Light in Dark Moments31:10 - Learning Humility and Overcoming Strong Opinions32:20 - David's Top Five Favorite Horror Films33:55 - David's Favorite Video Games of All Time35:55 - What Scares a Horror Writer the Most?38:03 - What's Next for Tarsier Studios?

MARKY P Marky P is a Music Loving Gadget Freak and started playing with Sound Master and QBase on his Amiga at the Age off 11. Always interested in the funky Vibe and waveforms he linked his basic sampler to a mixer and by the age of 14 was doing mashups to his friend and family with samples mixed in over the top. So an early start for Marky and by the age of 16 was a DJ on Cruise FM in 1984. Continuing through in various different Genres till 89/90 then retired to normal life with the Occasional Mashup and Party set for various people. Influences were from the hip hop era like Kurtis Blow , DJ Cool Herc ,Grandmaster Flash, Melle Mel , Funkadelic ,James Brown, Stetsasonic ,Dr Dre (NWA) Soul Sonic Force (Africa Bambaata) and the visionaries of that era.So an early Hip Hop Influence for Marky P and its now all intertwined with Funk Soul Boogie and New school Cool jams bringing flavours across 5 decades.. Still having that funky itch vibe he started hi Mashups again after meeting up with his old Friend Roy C (Soundchaser) in about 2008/9 (being at college with Roy back in 85-87) and his good friend DJ Connie (runtings crew) from the original CenterForce FM in London. His show is The Paradise Sessions on Wednesdays from 8 till 10pm GMT Many Thanks for reading.

The roots of Yussef El Guindi are fascinating and his early exposure to life in the theater in Egypt and London are insightful. 

Second Epistle of Peter chapter 2 warns believers about false teachers who secretly introduce destructive teachings and exploit others for personal gain. Peter reminds the church that just as God judged rebellion in the past, He will also hold accountable those who distort the truth. Using examples such as the fallen angels, the flood in Noah's day, and the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, Peter demonstrates that God knows how to rescue the godly while bringing justice upon the wicked. The chapter calls believers to remain discerning, grounded in God's Word, and steadfast in following Christ rather than deceptive influences.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sendme-radio--732966/support.“Thank you for listening to SendMe Radio — where we share the Gospel, inspire faith, and keep you connected with powerful stories and updates from around the world.

On this episode of Against Everyone with Conner Habib, I talk with esoteric author and scholar MARK BOOTH (AKA Jonathan Black), whose excellent new book, THE SECRET HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSE: HOW ANCIENT WISDOM MADE THE WORLD, traces the occult influences found in modern science, especially the science of physics.Mark's book is not just an outline of confluences. In other words, it's not one of many books already available which seem to validate spiritual wisdom with modern science. Instead, it is something more singular and more needed for our time. It shows how esoteric ideas and thinkers, seers and magicians, intersected with scientists as they developed the theories that live in our own scientific worldviews. Mark is also the author of one of the best introductions to real esoteric perspectives, The Secret History of the World , as well as The Sacred History: How Angels, Mystics and Higher Intelligence Made Our World and the ebook, The Secret History of Dante: Unearthing the Real-Life Mysteries of the Inferno.Mark has been a dream guest for me since I started this show over eight years ago. Although we spoke a few times in the intervening years, I'm so excited that we finally got to talk in this capacity, for the podcast.But we weren't alone! In a perfect example of spiritual entanglement, when Mark brought up the physicist Wolfgang Pauli - famed for the so-called Pauli effect or shorting out technology wherever he went - our recoding crashed completely, and we had to restart the call. Luckily, it's still all intact for you!

Sean and Mark dive into another Influences episode, this time about the Punisher Comics and specifically the short Punisher Armory series. These were a big influence on Sean and we spend some time talking about the knife-related content in these comics and the artist Eliot R. Brown. Fascinating stuff and what reads like a love letter from Eliot about the state of the art of knives and gear of the era. Hope you enjoy it!

Rains across the country and cooler weather in the extended forecast weighed on soybeans today, as concerns going into the growing season remain limited.

Welcome back to When Words Fail, Music Speaks—the podcast where host James Andrew Cox battles depression with the healing power of song. In today's episode, James sits down with New Jersey‑born singer‑songwriter Greg Amici, a musician who literally sang his way out of a 16‑year silence after a vocal‑cord injury forced him off the stage.Greg shares the story of his early love for vinyl classics—from Steely Dan and The Who to XTC and The Kinks—how those influences shaped his own witty, heart‑on‑sleeve style, and why he calls his breakthrough solo record Tragicomic “lyrics first, tragedy meets comedy.” Listeners will hear behind‑the‑scenes tales of the NJ/NY underground scene, the eye‑opening moment he discovered a polyp on his vocal cord, the long road back to CMJ, and the creative process behind his standout track “Girl Next Door.”From nostalgic debates about Beatles vs. Stones to a lightning‑round of coffee vs. tea, the conversation stays candid, funny, and deeply personal—exactly the kind of musical therapy James promised. Whether you're a DIY artist, a longtime fan, or simply looking for a reminder that music can pull you through the darkest chapters, this episode delivers inspiration, humor, and a fresh look at what it means to keep singing when words fall short.Stay tuned, press play, and let Greg's story remind you: music is the one aspect of life that keeps us wanting to live as long as we can.

As always there are spoilers ahead! Blade Runner was not a huge hit in 1982 but it did gain a fair few fans on its initial release. One of those fans was a teenager from Cheshire by the name of Paul Franklin who would go on to work on numerous big budget films and win two Oscars for his work as a Special Effects Supervisor on Interstellar and Inception. I spoke to Paul about his first impressions of the film, what makes it special and how it influences Batman Begins and The Dark Knight Rises.   Apologies for the abrupt ending to this episode. It is late, I've been quite busy and I have other work I really must tend to.

EPISODE 722 - Andrey Medina - Screenwriter and Author - Sci-Fi storyteller who's fascinated by the questions that don't have easy answersIn this episode, Dave sits down with author and screenwriter Andrey Medina to explore how imagination, movement, and instability as a child sparked a lifelong inner world that eventually led him to science fiction. Andrey explains that he was not so much “called” to authorship as he was found by science fiction itself, discovering in it a way to imagine alternatives to reality. Influences like Tolkien and Asimov did more than shape his taste; they fundamentally shaped how he thinks about worlds, systems, and psychohistory-level questions of how reality can be simulated and reimagined.Andrey shares honest, practical advice for aspiring writers: finish something. Even a three to five page story matters, because reaching the end delivers pride and a deeper sense of catharsis as both writer and reader of your own work. He describes how completing a story can move you to tears or leave you breathless, and why that emotional climax is the best encouragement to keep going. From there, the second crucial step is to show your work to someone. Even if the reader does not fully connect, the simple fact that they speak your character's name out loud proves that someone else now carries a piece of your imagination in their mind. He also talks about setting himself a week-long challenge during Covid to write a short story every day, emphasizing that even “crappy” stories hold fragments of gold worth revisiting later.The conversation turns to craft and career. Andrey talks about mining small but powerful ideas from imperfect drafts, like a story of a boy who believes he is a robot and a father forced to deconstruct life into tiny, teachable truths. He discusses writing both for himself and for readers, consciously merging the stories he loves with clear commercial awareness, particularly in his young adult speculative dystopian thrillers. Drawing on his screenwriting background, he explains how thinking in scenes, locations, conflict, and emotional reaction shapes his novels, and how good dialogue functions as action rooted in motivation and emotional baggage.Andrey introduces his series, beginning with The Conduit Trials, featuring Ren, a sixteen year old rebel in a totalitarian regime whose botched mission leads to a death sentence and a shocking offer to become a fighter pilot for the very system she opposes. He teases themes of moral ambiguity, propaganda, and critical thinking in a world where nothing is fully right or fully wrong, and shares how recent chaotic global events helped fuel the emotional “lava” behind the story. He wants readers to be fully immersed in Ren's world while constantly asking themselves, “What would I do in her place?”He also explains how listeners can currently read The Conduit Trials as a free ARC through BookSprout, join his mailing list via a link at the end of the book, and stay updated on future installments and launches.Key takeaway: Finish something, no matter how small, and let it be seen. Completion gives you emotional proof that you are a storyteller, and every shared story, even an imperfect one, plants your imagined world in another person's mind.https://www.facebook.com/andreymedina84Send us Fan MailSupport the show___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks!https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca

Identity influences customer behavior, brand trust, and growth far more than most brands realize. In this episode of Frictionless Growth Lab, Sonia Thompson explores why consumers are constantly asking one question—consciously or subconsciously: "Is this for someone like me?" Drawing on personal stories, behavioral science, customer experience strategy, and real-world research, Sonia explains why identity is always present in the customer journey, how it shapes purchasing decisions, and why brands that fail to recognize it create friction they often can't see. You'll learn: • Why identity is the operating system every customer is already running• How identity influences customer behavior and decision-making• Why consumers evaluate brands through the lens of belonging and relevance• The hidden connection between identity, brand trust, and customer experience• Where identity creates friction across acquisition, consideration, experience, and loyalty• Why many brands miss identity-related friction—even when they have good intentions• The difference between customer intimacy and studied familiarity• How mosaic marketing helps brands attract, convert, and retain more customers If you've ever wondered why some customers immediately connect with a brand while others quietly walk away, this episode will give you a framework for understanding what's happening—and what to do about it. Because customers don't arrive at your brand without an identity. They arrive with one. And the brands that grow are the ones that learn how to design for the people they serve.

We're also told we can retrain our taste buds for things like salt and sugar, but is that really true? With the rise of GLP-1 medications and growing conversations around "food noise," it's becoming clear that appetite, cravings, and weight regulation are far more complex than many people realize. So what's really driving our eating behaviors? How much is shaped by biology versus our environment or psychology? And what factors influence hunger, fullness, food preferences, and ultimately—how much we eat? Tune in to this Sound Bites® Podcast episode with Dr. Rick Mattes to learn about: the concept of palatability and hyperpalatability the truth about "addictive" foods the role of appetite in GLP-1 medication effects the importance and generality of hedonic shifts various aspects of appetite regulation sensory science, taste function, texture and food form food noise vs. food cue reactivity brand new research on protein and satiety

Professor Jonathan Miles' path to teaching organizational behavior at Rice Business is anything but conventional. Before entering academia, he earned a degree in computer science, worked in IT and even launched a comic book store — experiences that shaped his perspective on leadership, influence and human behavior.Today, Miles is known for challenging students to think differently about power, workplace dynamics and ethical decision-making. A co-adviser at the Virani Undergraduate School of Business and voted “Teacher of the Year” by our undergraduate business students, he has built courses that push both MBAs and undergraduates to confront uncomfortable truths about what it really takes to lead and succeed.In this episode, Miles joins host Maya Pomroy ‘22 to discuss why so many talented people struggle to advocate for themselves, what his comic book store taught him about entrepreneurship, and why influence is often misunderstood. He also shares his perspective on AI's growing impact on the workplace, the future of Rice Business and his hope for bringing undergrads and graduate students together in ways no business school has done before.Episode Guide:0:00  Introduction & Teacher of the Year Award2:29  Growing Up: Family, Influences, and Early Life4:40  The Winding Path: Journalism to Engineering to Computer Science7:40  The Value of Exploring Outside Your Major9:57  From IT to Teaching: Discovering a Calling15:56  Teaching Power & Influence at Rice17:55  The Biggest Misconception About Influence at Work22:15  Professionalism & Ethics: Why People Break Their Own Moral Frameworks25:04  AI in the Workplace: Hype, Risk, and the Road Ahead30:19  What Jon Hopes Students Take Away32:27  The Comic Book Store: Lessons in Entrepreneurship37:46  The Future of Rice Business & the New Building40:50  Closing and ConclusionThe Owl Have You Know Podcast is a production of Rice Business and is produced by University FM.Episode Quotes:Why hard work alone won't get you promoted20:24: I find it interesting that, in the eight years I've been teaching it here at Rice, I don't think I've ever had a class where the majority of people in the class, when I talk about the things that hold them back from power, won't raise their hands and say, "Yeah, at least one of those affects me." And, you know, things like—we call it the just world hypothesis—the idea of like, oh, well, you know, merit exists, and if I do a really good job, I will rise in the organization because people will notice. And we talk about the fact that our research is pretty clear that that's not true. We have years of research on this that says your boss doesn't have any idea what you do, and your boss's boss certainly doesn't. And so this idea of you have to advocate for yourself, even though it doesn't feel great to you. Leaders vs. bad managers36:09: What I told my students is, "I'm not here to make you into great leaders. Some of you will be great leaders because you have that natural piece, and I'm going to teach you this, and if you follow and do this information, you'll become a great leader. But I guarantee you, if you just follow what I say, you won't be a bad manager. You won't be a bad leader." And I've had enough bad leaders over the years that my crusade is to get rid of them, to try and, try and teach people so that we don't have them. And I'm hoping that the people who come out of here with Rice MBAs, and even our Rice undergrad degrees, have the understanding of how to be a manager that does the right things.What Jonathan hopes for the future of Rice Business45:19: I hope that we can maintain doing that because we could provide our undergrads with a tremendous ability to get a great education, and one that they're not going to get in an undergrad program elsewhere, from people who really know what they're talking about and are good at teaching it.Show Links: TranscriptGuest Profile:Jonathan Miles | Rice BusinessJonathan Miles | LinkedIn

EPISODE 717 - Hal Glatzer - Accidental Detectives, Friends With Benefits and How Music Influences WritingHal Glatzer is a novelist who blends mystery with a rich musical background, sharing insights about his creative journey, his fiction's settings, and the people who populate his work. The interview unfolds in three main threads: the mysteries Glatzer writes, the music he performs, and the biography that informs his storytelling.Glatzer's literary path begins in youth with classical training in violin and clarinet, moving through the folk revival and bluegrass, and finally embracing the Great American Songbook. This musical fluency informs his approach to dialogue and rhythm in fiction, where characters banter and move storylines forward through speech. His long-running Katy Green novels anchor his literary voice in historical-recovery and performance, while his current project centers on Herman and Teddy, an older couple who navigate an affair while solving murders. They are “accidental detectives” in a cozy mystery setting, chosen to explore grown-up themes with wit, warmth, and intellectual curiosity.Grand Lake City, Glatzer's fictional setting, serves as a crafted backdrop that mirrors real Rust Belt towns gradually reviving their economies. The two primary protagonists—Herman, a late sixties retired magazine editor, and Teddy, a middle sixties former high school math teacher—live a “friendship with benefits” relationship. Their dynamic blends sharp banter, contrasting personalities, and complementary lives, which continually challenge and propel the mysteries they stumble into. The series follows this duo across three novels so far: The Nest, The Office Wife, and The Two Birds, with plans for future installments and possibly revisiting the Katie Green character from his earlier work.A central theme is how music—whether live performance or the memory of songs—deeply embeds itself in people's brains and sustains memory, emotion, and identity. Glatzer describes performing for nursing homes and veterans as a powerful reminder that music often outlives other faculties, a belief that resonates with how he builds mood and atmosphere in his stories. He also explains that his storytelling relies on the tension between characters and situations: even a cozy mystery benefits from obstacles that threaten personal relationships and force protagonists to confront difficult choices.For readers, the appeal lies in dialog-rich, character-driven mysteries where adults face real-life complexities, including marriage, friendship, and moral dilemmas, while the plot unfurls through witty dialogue and engaging puzzles. Glatzer emphasizes that his ideal reader is an adult who appreciates a well-crafted whodunit with authentic relationships and no graphic sexuality, while acknowledging that his work may test readers' comfort with adultery within a carefully controlled narrative.Key takeaway: Hal Glatzer's mysteries thrive on character chemistry and dialogue as the engine of plot, pairing cozy, accessible puzzles with mature, nuanced relationships that keep readers thinking—and listening—for the next twist.https://halglatzer.com/Send us Fan MailSupport the show___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks!https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca

Episode 3016: Dr. Marni Amsellem explores how weight loss habits can create a powerful “ripple effect” within relationships, showing that one partner's healthy choices often influence the other's behaviors and results. Backed by research on real-world dieting interventions, the article reveals why couples tend to succeed, or struggle, together when it comes to lasting lifestyle change. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.luvze.com/the-couple-who-diets-together-how-your-partner-influences-yo/ Quotes to ponder: “When one person changes their behavior, the people around them also change.” “Research suggests that weight changes in one partner are related to corresponding changes in weight in the other partner, or what is referred to as a ‘ripple effect' of weight change.” “When you make positive lifestyle changes, you are likely to influence your partner on these behaviors as well.” Episode references: University of Connecticut: https://uconn.edu/ TVLine: https://tvline.com/ Weight Watchers: https://www.weightwatchers.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, coach Daniel Rowland and myself each bring two recent research studies to the table that we have found interesting and potentially useful for athletes and coaches. We discuss the implications and practical takeaways of the findings, how athletes can implement the findings in practice, and the strengths and weaknesses of the different studies. Whether you listen for the love of endurance sports science, or because you want to keep up to date with the cutting edge in triathlon training, this one is for you.  HIGHLIGHTS AND KEY TOPICS:  A study looking into two types of torque training: very short maximal effort low-cadence sprints, and classic four-minute torque intervals just below Critical Power. Does ketone ester supplementation have direct performance-enhancing benefits?  How age-group triathletes actually carb-loaded before the Ironman World Championships - did they hit the optimal amounts of carbohydrates or not?  A review on the science of pacing, and practical takeaways including specific sessions to improve pacing.  DETAILED EPISODE SHOWNOTES:  We have detailed shownotes for all of our episodes.

Eric Jorgenson on The Book of Elon: High-Effort Optimism, Imagination, and AI SuperpowersDanny hosts Eric Jorgensen to discuss The Book of Elon and how studying Elon Musk reshaped Eric's imagination through “high effort optimism,” pairing an ambitious vision of the future with the grind to close the gap between fiction and reality. Eric shares practical imagination habits (asking “why/why not,” learning from history like the Wright brothers), his biography-style research process (collecting millions of words of public sources, distilling into a tightly curated 50,000-word “Elon speaks to you” experience), and how he balances memorable sentences with stories. They explore curation vs originality, Elon's influences (including Napoleon), learning as behavior change, misconceptions about Elon being money-motivated, and a “solarpunk” future blending nature with technological abundance. They also discuss AI as a tool, education models like Alpha School, and adapting careers to rapid AI-driven change.00:00 Welcome and Imagination00:58 High Effort Optimism02:31 Habits to Think Bigger04:29 Research and Curation Method08:15 Memorable Sentences and Stories10:21 Creativity Without Originality14:10 Elon's Influences and Strategy18:16 Reprogramming Through Practice19:45 Applying Ideas and Teaching22:38 Work Ethic and Tradeoffs28:49 Crisis Mode Mindset29:28 Wealth Versus Mission31:35 Gates Tesla Short Story33:51 Changing Minds On Elon36:13 Writing With AI Tools40:25 Rethinking School With AI43:05 Career Superpowers Era47:36 Solarpunk Future Vision51:28 High Effort Optimism

Welcome Chicago drummer, musician, and entertainer, Aaron Paulsen! Amassing over 4.6 million followers across social media platforms, Aaron has taken his generation by storm with his unique video creations that blend extreme musicianship, storytelling, and undeniable humor. We dive into Aaron's upbringing as a classical percussionist from Chicago, dropping out of a percussion performance scholarship during COVID to pursue content full-time, and the eventual move to Nashville.

Mark Levin, Dinesh D'Souza - The Democrat Party Embodies Marxism and Jihadist Influences and Big Supreme Court Win!  Mark Levin Podcast The Best Of Mark Levin - 5/2/26  May 02 2026   This week on the Mark Levin Show, Democrats, their media, and podcast surrogates will quickly resumed attacks despite the third assassination attempt on President Trump. Their rhetoric reveals Marxist and Islamist ideologies, falsely labeling Trump Hitler and a dictator. The Democrat Party embodies Marxism and jihadist influences, unlike Republicans who purge their extremists. Next, the AP article reporting James Comey's second indictment was grotesque propaganda - an opinion piece that leads with accusations of vindictive prosecution by the Trump administration's Justice Department. The piece notes Comey's history feuding with Trump and his role in the Russia investigation but these details are irrelevant to the charge. Comey's explanation for the 8647 seashells is unbelievable—especially for a former FBI director.   Dinesh D'Souza 808K subscribers 1,594 views The Supreme Court's racial gerrymandering decision isn't just a big win for the midterms and beyond.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that who and what we are is often decided in our youth. Influences through the years have created certain disciplines. But for the Christian, our lives are being recreated where dependability begins in the heart.
