Send us Fan MailEpisode 254 of Nerdery & Murdery is live!On the Nerdery side, Zig returns to his ongoing journey through the Star Wars universe, this exploring the saga in chronological order based on the timeline inside the galaxy itself.

Each victim had been sexually assaulted and strangled, and the killer was never officially identified. Investigators explored multiple suspects over the years, including Christopher Wilder, the so called Beauty Queen Killer, but the case ultimately went cold.A galaxy far, far away on one side. An unsolved mystery in paradise on the other.Just another week of the Nerd and the Murd.Support the show
Llega ‘El final del viaje' de Wesley Crusher en TNG a la vez que se acerca el final del viaje de Star Trek Replay en el podcasting, al menos en lo que se refiere a TNG. El episodio, que pasamos a comentar a partir del minuto 46, intenta dar un digno final a Wesley Crusher en el Universo Trek explicando por qué era un genio, casi para autojustificar sus jóvenes hazañas durante las primeras temporadas de TNG, pero para hacerlo, lo convierte en prácticamente un mago o un ser con el poder de controlar el espacio-tiempo, casi un Jedi. La justificación lo vuelve a colocar en un pedestal. Por no hablar de lo borde que aparece en este episodio. Para nosotros, un paso atrás para el personaje respecto a sus dos últimos episodios, ‘Final Mission' y ‘The First Duty'. En el próximo episodio comentaremos la última Quedada Replay. Un fiestón inolvidable, lleno de increíbles sorpresas. Un éxito de asistencia y de buen rollo, donde vimos ‘All Good Things…' en pantalla grande y en compañía, y disfrutamos de conocernos en persona muchos Replayers y miembros del canal de Telegram. ¡Gracias a todos!

This is it! The finale of Maul Shadow Lord! Not letting us take a moment since Vader appeared out of the fog, the fight immediately begins and the episode never lets up for a second after that. This is all out Vader. This is how powerful he was at his peak. This is Anakin in unbridled menace. And it was AWESOME! Our group of the Lawsons, Devon, Master Daki and Two Boots, along with Vario, can barely stay ahead of Vader and the Inquisitors trying to get to the ship that Dryden Vos brought to rescue them. It's a race for survival, and not everyone makes it. As we've seen before, the tragic loss of someone dear to them, causes a Jedi to lose their control, and that's when the darkness takes over. And Maul perfectly orchestrates Devon's fall to his side. It's action packed. It's edge of your seat. It's terrifying. It's dramatic. This is the finale of Maul Shadow Lord!

Recorded live at Indiana Comic Convention - Holly Frey and Bryan Young gathered before a live audience to talk about the challenges facing the production of A New Hope, the original Star Wars film as George Lucas worked feverishly to complete the film as Fox got more and more impatient with how over schedule and over budget the film was.

Could humans actually develop psychic powers? The science says… maybe. In this episode of FT GBT, the Brain Trust — Daniel J. Glenn, Dr. Michael Dennin, and Ben Sieper — dive into the often-overlooked world of psionics, exploring the real neuroscience and physics behind mind powers in D&D, Stranger Things, X-Men, Star Wars, and Warhammer 40K. We break down why psychic energy works as a continuum (unlike the discrete “chunks” of arcane spell slots), and how that maps onto pop culture icons like Eleven from Stranger Things. We explore the three categories of psionic powers — attacking the mind, defending the mind, and telekinesis — and dig into the real-world science behind each: from electromagnetic brain signals and sports psychology breakdowns (Simone Biles, Ric Flair) to Faraday cages, Jedi mind tricks, and why a tinfoil hat might not be such a bad idea after all. We also tackle the big question: can a non-psychic person defend against a psychic attack, or are they just a fish in a barrel? Whether you’re a D&D player curious about psionics, a sci-fi fan, or just someone who’s ever wondered if you could move a remote control with your mind, this episode is for you. Topics Covered: What are psionics & why they’re D&D’s most underrated subsystem Psychic energy as a continuum vs. discrete spell slots Mind attacks: ego whips, mind thrust & psychic horror Real-world parallels: sports psychology, CIA training, hypnotism Defending the brain: Faraday cages, Magneto’s helmet & Warhammer 40K The physics of telekinesis Eleven (Stranger Things), X-Men, Star Wars & psionic pop culture Can non-psychics resist psychic attacks?

“Heel” is one word, and it sent listener mail pouring in from every direction. Alex Kormann and Erin McGowan take over the mailbag while Matthew Fox is away, working through questions and reactions on both Maul: Shadow Lord and The Mandalorian and Grogu: the empathic link Maul's lightsaber formed with Devon, Captain Lawson's flat ending, and whether a single training command reveals something about how the franchise still thinks of Grogu.The deeper the mail goes, the bigger the questions get. Is Grogu a Mandalorian who happens to use the Force, or is there still a Jedi path ahead? What does it mean that Rotta the Hutt might be his most natural long-term companion? And where does Colonel Ward fit in a story that still hasn't figured out what to do with Sigourney Weaver? The conversation doesn't settle anything. That's the point.Full show notes and resources here.Recommended Listening: Make Me a Nerd with Mandy Kaplan**************************************************************************This episode is a production of Star Wars Generations, an Ethical Panda podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.

Innovation isn't about funding, it's about how organisations are built and led. Progress comes from cutting bureaucracy, empowering mission-led teams, and asking the right questions to unlock bold breakthroughs. This week, Dave, Esmee and Rob are joined again by André Loesekrug-Pietri, Chair and Scientific Director of the Joint European Disruptive Initiative (JEDI, Europe's ARPA) to explore how Europe can turn moonshot ambitions into reality by building the right people, culture and operating models for future-shaping organisations.

188 – Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the ClonesThe Clone Wars are brewing, political intrigue is spreading across the galaxy, and romance is about to make things very awkward.

Andy Walsh, Evan Garcia, Kevin Schaefer, Will Rose, and Christian Ashley dive deep into the galaxy far, far away, focusing on the Mandalorian and Grogu film while casting their eyes toward the future of the Star Wars franchise. They kick things off by reflecting on the film's nostalgic elements, especially how it pays homage to classic stop-motion techniques, sparking some heartfelt emotions among the crew.

The hosts engage in a lively debate about whether the focus should remain on legacy characters or if the time is ripe for new stories that could expand the galaxy's lore. They collectively agree that while nostalgia plays a significant role in the franchise's appeal, it's essential for Star Wars to embrace innovation and explore uncharted territories, creating a balance that keeps fans both engaged and excited.

Shirzad Chamine is a New York Times bestselling author, executive coach, and founder of Positive Intelligence. Having trained more than 100,000 coaches and advised CEOs at some of the world's largest companies, Shirzad has dedicated his career to understanding the mental patterns that drive performance, leadership, and fulfillment. In this episode, he shares the painful entrepreneurial failure that sparked his life's work, explains the concept of self-sabotage, and reveals practical tools for strengthening the positive side of your mind while quieting the internal voices that hold you back. On this episode we talk about: The entrepreneurial failure that led Shirzad to develop Positive Intelligence How self-sabotaging thought patterns impact performance, leadership, and relationships The ten "saboteurs" that create stress, self-doubt, and negative emotions Simple mental exercises to shift from reactive thinking to peak performance Why developing your "inner Jedi" may be one of the most valuable skills in the age of AI Top 3 Takeaways Your greatest obstacles are often internal, not external. Self-sabotaging thought patterns can quietly undermine your success, relationships, and well-being unless you learn to recognize them. Negative emotions are signals, not destinations. Stress, anger, guilt, and self-doubt can provide useful information, but staying trapped in those emotions prevents effective action. Mental fitness can be trained. Small, consistent practices that strengthen focus and self-command can help you access greater creativity, confidence, resilience, and performance. Notable Quotes "The question is not if you sabotage yourself, but how you do it." "Inside my head, there's a war going on between my inner Darth Vaders and my inner Jedi." "The most painful day of my professional life ended up becoming the most important positive day of my professional life."

This week we are waiting on a flight in some Mid-Major airport. A nice liminal space to relax or sleep with. 10 hours of airport sounds including muffled announcements, large room air-conditioning, timely takeoffs, airport denizens, and drift.______We're waiting for a late-night flight to somewhere awesome, tucked into a dark corner with a view of the runway fading into the milky darkness beyond. Vehicle lights twinkle. The runway blazes with multicolored bulbs. And my favorite person, the waving double-flashlight dude (I always wondered if these folks ever pretended to be Jedis). Planes speed down the runway in the distance, like racing Christmas trees.In the 90s I had the perfect spot at Atlanta airport near my favorite eatery, Gyro Wrap (you fostered my love of the gyro, thank you Gyro Wrap). I loved watching the nighttime choreography of massive flying machines and service vehicles while awaiting that late connection to Columbia, SC, and back to my military school bunk by midnight. One trip nearly ended with me joining the Army by accident. A very stern-looking dude from the U.S. Army (reception cadre) double timed over to me as I headed for the Taxi stand of the Columbia Airport. “No gum. The hell are you chewing gum for? Take those headphones off when I'm speaking to you.”I'm like, “Uhm.”He starts laying into my posture. I wasn't standing straight. Gum out right now. Hand outstretched to a line of people in the distance. “Eyes straight. Let's go.” And I see a line of dudes rigid with fear. “You made all of us late—“I jumped in, “sir, I'm sorry, I didn't join the Army. I'm in military school. I have to catch a cab.”His eyes widened at my interruption, then his expression softened into something much friendlier—even jocular. “Ya—! Ooooh… I was about to put you on the bus.”He asked how long I had been in military school and I was like, “Six years.”“Six years? Do they not teach posture? Chest up, shoulders back…” And he clapped me on the back, "See you in a few months."I wanted to do add a "sorry but I will be attending another military school in a few months." But he was back to his charges telling them the wait would continue.Speaking of airport nostalgia, this week's episode cover is a homage to the stellar Catch Me If You Can opening credits. Which is itself a nostalgic, Saul Bass–ish 1960s film opening. I've never seen Catch Me If You Can, but the credit sequence was formative in inspiring where I wanted to take my career. I should leave out that my mantra became “I will only work on documentaries or major motion picture credit sequences” (and whatever job I could get at MTV, I'll mop the TRL studios).The Catch Me If You Can credit sequence by Kuntzel + Deygas is unassailable. And middling designers (such as myself) will make any excuse to play with others' wonderful work and call it homage. (See my recent Matrix episode for more).I mean, it is self-gratification. Can I say that? And leave aside the vulgar common understanding—it would be like my buying a home-run baseball on eBay. Some other person caught the ball, or ripped it from a child's hands, put it in a box, slapped on some stamps, and shipped it across multiple states. Now I'm holding up that baseball as if I accomplished something.Then again, it was fun to make.

In this episode of The 20/20 Podcast, host Dr. Harbir Sian sits down live at the BCDO Conference with the one and only Dr. Richard Maharaj, widely known in Canadian optometry as the “Dry Eye Jedi.”Dr. Maharaj is the Managing Partner of Optometry Services at Prism Eye Institute and one of the most respected voices in dry eye disease, ocular surface disease, chronic eye pain, and optometric research. But this conversation goes far beyond tear breakup time, MMP-9, meibography, and treatment algorithms.Instead, Harbir and Richard explore the human side of clinical care: how we speak to patients, how we handle chronic pain, why patients often carry anxiety into the exam chair, and why clinicians need to pause before delivering information that may unintentionally create fear.The episode dives deep into the biopsychosocial model of pain, the difference between pain and visible clinical signs, how to approach patients with symptoms that do not match what we see on the ocular surface, and why mental health support can be an important part of the care pathway.Dr. Maharaj also shares emerging insights into the role of vitamin B, vitamin D, nutrition, corneal nerve health, oxidative stress, and ocular surface disease, including how B vitamins may support patients with chronic ocular pain and neurosensory symptoms.This is a reflective, clinically rich, and deeply human conversation about dry eye, pain, gratitude, patient communication, and the responsibility optometrists have as trusted healthcare providers.3 Key Takeaways1. Chronic eye pain must be understood beyond the ocular surfaceDr. Maharaj explains that pain is not simply a direct reflection of visible tissue damage. In many patients, especially those with chronic ocular pain, the experience of pain is shaped by the brain, psychology, anatomy, and social context. Optometrists need to recognize that “normal-looking eyes” do not mean the patient's symptoms are not real.2. Patient communication can either calm or catastrophizePatients often come into the exam room after consuming online information about dry eye, gland loss, or chronic disease. Dr. Maharaj encourages clinicians to avoid fear-based messaging and instead focus on measurable improvement, realistic timelines, reassurance, and clarity. Most patients improve, but they need to understand that progress is not always linear.3. Nutrition may play a growing role in ocular surface diseaseDr. Maharaj discusses emerging research around vitamin B, particularly B12, in corneal nerve health, oxidative stress, and chronic pain. While topical treatments and procedures remain important, nutrition and supplementation may become an increasingly relevant part of dry eye and ocular surface management.Love the show?
