POPULARITY
This week, my brother and I are watching the 1981 movie, Spiderman: The Dragon's Challenge, a composite of two 1979 episodes of The Amazing Spider-Man where Peter Parker ends up in pre-handover Hong Kong protecting an influential Chinese diplomat. As far as we could tell, the live action Spider-Man show did not have that much to do with the comics and take a more realistic view of what a man in a spidersuit, albeit one with special powers, could realistically accomplish. The series is not available on Disney+, unlike many of the other Marvel properties, but you can watch the two year run (1977-1979) on Youtube for free. The last two episodes ("The Chinese Web") of the series (there are 13 total) form this movie, which oddly enough was only released internationally. Check out Jeremy's work over at Pixel Grotto, CBR.com, and Classic Batman Panels on IG. If you are of the DnD persuasion, his articles on DnD Beyond may be right up your alley, and you can view his entire portfolio here. You can also check out his latest book, where he is a co-author: Pathfinder Adventure Path: No Breath to Cry as well as an upcoming exploration TTRPG with Three Sail Studios, Mappa Mundi.

Originally aired on June 24, 2024.This week's podcast episode follows up on what I started last week - I did end up playing "There's a Wild Heart Beating" at a local restaurant that holds a monthly open mike for singer-songwriters to practice and work on new and old material. Really nice that that exists. It was nice to play live again as well as listen to what other people were working on. Then, I work a backing vocal track for "No Hero," which is a song for the next Thirteenth Hour soundtrack LP that I have gotten stuck on numerous times so far - any forward progress at this point is a plus in my book!Thanks for listening!∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞Check out the growing line of Thirteenth Hour toys and other products on the Thirteenth Hour Studio Etsy store (https://www.etsy.com/shop/ThirteenthHourStudio).

Originally aired on June 5, 2023.This week, I'm working on the coverart for the upcoming next Thirteenth Hour soundtrack LP, Once Upon a Dream. The AI art images I used as inspiration back in episode 406 were helpful in confirming the kind of look I was going for as well as the color scheme - mostly an 80s palate of hot pink, blues, purples, and the obligatory rainbow trail.At the time, I'd done a quick sketch using the ideas I had: See the pictures at: https://13thhr.wordpress.com/2023/06/05/the-thirteenth-hour-podcast-408-making-the-once-upon-a-dream-cover/I used the pixelart creation software Pix2d and Photoshop to make the cover. One of the first things I did was make a pixelart cliff, castle, and sunset.Then I added Aurora to the pixelart Logan I made back in college:Together, with some tweaks in Photoshop and a pixelart Palace of the Winds, here's what I have so far:I'll keep working on the rest of the coverart while letting this one marinate for awhile.

Originally aired on December 2, 2019.This week, I continue work on a ballad written from the perspective of Aurora from The Thirteenth Hour from a passage in the book where our young protagonists are starting to realize that there might be more to their relationship than just friendship. I've been fiddling with adding a beat to the song and was listening to two examples - one by Debbie Gibson ("Lost in Your Eyes") which adds a beat after a piano intro riff and another by Alphaville ("Forever Young") which actually has no backing beat at all in the original version until about 1 and a quarter minutes into the song.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Ms3mJFkSeg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1TcDHrkQYgOriginal show notes: https://13thhr.wordpress.com/2019/12/02/the-thirteenth-hour-podcast-225-musical-interlude-the-making-of-the-last-dance-part-3/∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞ There are now Thirteenth Hour toys!

Originally aired on November 25, 2019.This week, I continue work on a ballad written from the perspective of Aurora from The Thirteenth Hour from a passage in the book where our young protagonists are starting to realize that there might be more to their relationship than just friendship. Last week I had a rough draft of the lyrics. This week, I'm singing the second draft and playing the chords on the keyboard.While I was practicing the intro riff, I kept wanting to play the theme from the 1991 movie, The Rocketeer, scored by James Horner. It's not surprising since it's one of my favorite soundtracks and one of my most favorite movies of all time, though I've never tried figuring out the intro theme, which is played partly on the piano if I'm not mistaken.I'm playing it in the key of C, just like "The Last Dance," which is probably why the two kept getting mixed up in my head, even though they don't sound much alike.https://www.instagram.com/p/B5PBnTMlstV/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_linkSpeaking of the Rocketeer, if you can find a copy of the Nov 2019 magazine, Fine Scale Modeler, you can find a picture of this most excellent painted Rocketeer figurine!See pictures for this episode at: https://13thhr.wordpress.com/2019/11/25/the-thirteenth-hour-podcast-224-musical-interlude-the-making-of-the-last-dance-part-2-rocketeer-theme/∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞ There are now Thirteenth Hour toys!

Originally aired on September 9, 2019.This week, I'm finishing a track I started several years ago.

Originally aired July 1, 2019.This week, I'm working on the musical piece I started last week, "A Place of Our Own." I'm just playing through it, working out the kinks, mistakes and all. Typically, it takes many, many takes and a fair amount of practice to get a piece to a point where I can record it without mistakes (or, at least, minimal ones that I can adjust to or work around). So this week's episode is a mostly unedited window into a little of that process. Stay tuned over the next few weeks for additional progress.In other news, Empty Hands has an official launch date - 7/13/19!

Originally aired on June 24, 2019.Ideas for songs sometimes come at the most random times and places. I think the idea for this little instrumental track came when I was cooking dinner or putting my kids to bed. I remember humming a voice recording to myself since I didn't have time to work on it at the time and didn't want to forget it (my phone is full of similar such recordings; I used to use a tape recorder but this is one area where modern tech has made life a lot easier). I'm tentatively calling it "A Place of Our Own." It will go to the next Thirteenth Hour book where the main protagonists, Logan and Aurora, will be building a house for themselves on an island - a kind of sanctuary for themselves away from the turmoil of the world (at least temporarily). The essence of it will probably also form a theme for Aurora (like in Peter and the Wolf, how each character has a musical theme).

Originally aired on June 17, 2019.This week, I add the guitar, synth, and vocals to "And Now, We Are One," the last track on the last Empty Hands track, which is an ode to the ending themes of 80s action movies as well as the intros (and sometimes closings) of 80s Saturday morning / after school cartoon shows. I don't really possess the Sammy Hagar / Freddy Mercury / Stan Bush type pipes to do the vocals the way I envisioned them, so I just recorded myself several times singing the same vocals so it sounds like a chorus of men singing, which a lot of old cartoons (esp 70s and 80s anime) tends to do in their intros anyway. Aside from a few electric guitar bits and the solo, the track is basically done. That plus final Empty Hands edits mean that it should be out in a few weeks (hopefully)! The pixelart coverart for the song is below - 8 bit figures (I used the guys from the NES game Kung Fu as a sort of template), Tron grid, and pastel colors in all their 80s glory:In the meantime, this page formerly had what I affectionately dubbed a "starving artist" section on little side hustles you could do (mostly on the internet, often with a phone) to make a few bucks here and there, often in gift cards.

Originally released May 27, 2019.This week, instead of focusing on "Many Miles," which I'm still working on, I thought I'd do a little intro to the last Empty Hands track, which is an ode to the ending themes of 80s action movies as well as the intros (and sometimes closings) of 80s Saturday morning / after school cartoon shows. In other words, its cheesy as hell, but in the right spirit, hopefully it will be fun. The lyrics hark back to the elemental philosophy discussed in the book (earth, wind, water, fire, and void), itself taking inspiration from Japanese esoteric Buddhism.NEW!

Inching closer towards completion!I'm also basically done the instrumental melody of "Dragons' Eyes" as a short (~2 min) fill for Empty Hands, which has a little scene referencing the song.

Originally aired May 13, 2019.This week, I've finally come to the point of having a rough initial draft of "Many Miles" that I started a long time ago. It will play at the end of the episode. While still a work in progress, it's definitely farther along than last week. It's been a tedious process indeed to get it to this point.I've also included the second part of working on a long lost instrumental melody that would later become the folk ballad "Dragons' Eyes" in The Thirteenth Hour. This is a tune that I would mess around with as a kid and in college, where there were pianos all over. I never had a name for it but wrote the first few verses of the song in the novel to its melody. I figured reworking to make a short fill for Empty Hands, which has a little scene referencing the song, would be a nice way to come full circle. This week, I'm doing it to a slow (~70 bpm) beat.Speaking of which, for those of you on the mailing list, check your inboxes for a message asking for volunteers to help with the finishing touches of the upcoming martial arts fantasy novella, Empty Hands.

Originally aired on March 18, 2019.This week, I'm finally finishing the last music track to accompany The Thirteenth Hour novella, Empty Hands, an introspective instrumental piece called "Memories of a Better Time." I thought last week would be it, but after having listened to the outcome, thought there was still something missing, so this week, we're adding a short whistled intro.The novella the song will be embedded in is basically done in terms of its initial skeleton, though I'm putting the final edits on the first draft and working on the illustrations. This past week, I worked on more of the latter as well as the little blurb that accompanies the book when it's listed online - arguably (for me) the hardest part to write since it's typically what people use to decide if they want to invest the time to read something or not. The second draft, by the way, is typically where I send portions out to other people for critique, so if you'd like to be a part of that, I'll be sending out an email to the advance readers group on the mailing list (link below) soon.

Originally aired on March 11, 2019.This week, I'm finishing the last music track to accompany The Thirteenth Hour novella, Empty Hands, an introspective instrumental piece called "Memories of a Better Time." It fits in with a piece of the novella where the main character, Logan, is thinking back to his childhood friend, Aurora. It also has some similarities to the track "Empty Hands," also for the novella, which we did in episode 175 and the same descending note progression that we used there as well as in the song "There's a Wild Heart Beating." Today, we are adding the flute section.The novella the song will be embedded in is basically done in terms of its initial skeleton, though I'm putting the final edits on the first draft. The second draft is typically where I send portions out to other people for critique, so if you'd like to be a part of that, I'll be sending out an email to the advance readers group on the mailing list (link below) soon.

It fits in with a piece of the novella where the main character, Logan, is thinking back to his childhood friend, Aurora. He isn't terribly happy at this point in his life, as he is a reluctant soldier at best, though his time in the military gives him a window into a life that, as an orphan from a sleepy hunting and farming town without any resources or land of his own would have access to. This coming of age angst and ambivalence is what I was hoping to capture in the theme.The novella the song will be embedded in is basically done in terms of its initial skeleton, though I'm putting the final edits on the first draft.

Ask yourself a few questions: Is it wrong for a self-proclaimed spiritual leader to make a high-priced sex tape on purpose to get more exposure for her work? Is it unethical to outwardly say you are brainwashing your audience? Is it bad to advertise that you run a cult and seek followers? Is it unsafe for someone to be obsessed with celebrity...

Darryl E Berry Jr. returns this week to talk about A Course in Miracles. Look for Darryl's upcoming book, Classes On A Course in Miracles: Contemporary Pure Non-Dualism – Discussions 1 through 12, due out in March 2016. Darryl is a long time practitioner, researcher, and observer of all things metaphysical, mystical, and cutting edge, including the out-of-body experience or astral travel, extraterrestrial life, consciousness development, channeling, telepathy, spirituality especially purely non-dualistic thought such as A Course in Miracles, as well as fourth-density thought. Darryl started to astral travel spontaneously at about 4 or 5 years old, and since then he's become an expert on the subject. Through the decades via the out-of-body experience, he has met the deceased, interacted with extraterrestrials, traveled through time, traversed outer space, battled "demonic" entities, glimpsed the nonphysical substructure of the universe, and interacted with spiritual beings. Darryl is currently teaching online classes and workshops and publishing books through his teaching center called Next DensityTM, through which to share what he's learned (and is learning). His first book, Travel Far: A Beginner's Guide to the Out-of-Body Experience, Including First-Hand Accounts and Comprehensive Theory and Methods, is available now through Amazon. It shares dozens of his out-of-body experience first-hand accounts, as well as comprehensive techniques and methods that anyone can use to generate the out-of-body experience themselves. Darryl's upcoming books include Classes on A Course in Miracles: Contemporary Pure Non-Dualism – Discussions 1 through 12, Next Density: Metamorphosis into Fourth Density Being; Personal Transformation for the New Age, and Exo-Communications.

Transformational Psychic Medium, Marla Frees, brings healing and insight to anyone seeking deeper understanding about relationships, health, career, family, and spirituality. Marla’s remarkable intuition emerged during a difficult childhood when trauma and abuse ultimately created her heightened sensitivities. For 20 years Marla has trained and studied healing the emotional and physical body with numerous facilitators of trauma, grief, and transformation. She has trained with Dr. Richard Bartlett in the energy work and quantum healing frequencies of Matrix Energetics. She utilizes the life coaching methods from her training in BCC Freedom and Landmark education. Learning about human behavior and how to overcome emotional wounds helps Marla mediate relationships between the living and the dead for healing. Marla is an ongoing graduate of the Monroe Institute. Through the study of sound and vibration, Marla is trained to access different levels of consciousness. She has been trained in the methods used by the U.S. Military remote viewers. Retired U.S. Army Intelligence Master Sergeant Lyn Buchannan now President of PSI, Problems Solutions and Innovations, trained Marla as a remote viewer and technical map dowser. Marla has been a pro bono investigative consultant for various law enforcement agencies around the country. Her natural profiling skills extend to the crime, victim, and perpetrator within each individual location/condition to assist Law enforcement. Marla works only with detectives on cases, and requests anonymity. Marla spent 25 years as a successful TV and stage personality. As a former actress, Marla honed her empathic skills accessing the depth of emotion and training her body to feel and listen to the information that the larger consciousness and deceased loved ones provide. Since devoting herself to her current work she has appeared as a psychic medium on A&E, Bravo, History Channel, SyFy, and TV Land. On the radio, Marla has appeared on George Noory’s “Coast-to-Coast” and the Internet programs “Paranormal Geek” and “Paranormal and the Sacred.” Marla spent five years as a co-host and psychic medium expert on Unknowncountry.com’s “Dreamland,” and most recently she appears in YouTube teleconferences with physicist and author Tom Campbell, blending physics with metaphysics to understand the “science” of how Marla and the larger consciousness system works. Marla is a guest speaker throughout the country with her “MESSAGES WITH MARLA,” sharing messages in private sessions, small groups, and larger stage venues such as the Sun Valley Idaho Wellness Festival, the Los Angeles Westwood Rotary and Beverly Hills Rotary, UCLA, The Meta Center in New York City, and the Dreamland Festival in Nashville. Marla’s unique combination of skills makes her work transformational and very effective for those seeking guidance. It is Marla’s intention next year to find a home for her first book about her journey of Trauma Drama and Transformation.

Hay House Author Radleigh Cristian Valentine is a professional intuitive, speaker, author, spiritual advisor, and a recovering Certified Public Accountant. He is the co-author with Dr. Doreen Virtue of the best selling Angel Tarot Cards, Archangel Power Tarot Cards, The Big Book of Angel Tarot, and Guardian Angel Tarot Cards. His oracle card deck, Angel Answers will be out in December 2014. Radleigh was born and raised in the southeastern United States. He began to exhibit unusual abilities to “know” things that he could not have known at the age of five. While this is a “totally wicked!” thing to be in Southern California, it was generally considered just to be “wicked” in Tennessee. So Rad kept most of his “knowings” to himself and went on to become a CPA. Yes, that’s right. He became a Certified Public Accountant. (You can shudder. It’s okay.) Enormously successful in business, Rad was instrumental in building three exciting start up businesses; two of which became multi-million dollar businesses. He held titles such as Vice President and Corporate Controller and Vice President of Financial Communications; managing hundreds of people at a time. Little did his supervisors, peers, and employees in business know that his success was partially due to him being “the guy with something extra.” Over time, counting money and finding financial security wasn’t enough. Radleigh began to turn his sights back to the part of himself that was powerfully intuitive. He found amazing mentors like Dr. Doreen Virtue and John Holland to help him hone his skills. He became an expert in Tarot and the author of the enormously popular Radscopes which blend Tarot and Astrology. Radleigh started to notice that some people seem to be able to, as if by magic, have a wonderful life where wonderful things just fall from the sky while others struggled to make it day to day. For some, life was but a dream. For others, a nightmare. But why? Soon thereafter, Radleigh left the world of accounting and big business altogether for a world of magic and metaphysics. He became fascinated with quantum physics, angels, and how we as humans create our own reality. He began to study the works of today’s greatest thinkers regarding how we shape our own destinies. Today, Radleigh is an experienced and enchanting public speaker, bringing his unique voice and sense of humor to everything that he does. He is especially gifted at breaking down complicated concepts in a way that is engaging, fun, and easy to understand. When he conducts a seminar, Radleigh has the ability to connect personally with each member of the audience and to truly understand their needs and goals. As a powerful claircognizant and medium, Radleigh’s readings reflect a view of life that is positive and self-empowering of the individual. He is a very compassionate intuitive who has the magical ability to help people see the beauty in themselves and in almost any situation. His demeanor is friendly, warm, and peaceful. And he often uses his southern charm as well as the power of laughter to dissipate worry for his clients. A reading with Radleigh brings moments of clarity and awakening but it is also a lot like chatting with a friend. Radleigh’s weekly radio show “Magical Things” airs on Hay House Radio every Thursday at 2pm Pacific. He has also been featured on the TV show “Beyond Belief with George Noory.” “The world is full of magical things, patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper.” Radleigh believes his purpose is to help others sharpen those wits. And to show them that life, is magic.
