A lot of people think cold calling is dead. John Waller disagrees. John Waller is a true, old-school salesman and the founder of The OnHold Experience, a company that produces audio recordings that promote your business to your customers over the phone while they're waiting on hold. John's been selling since he was a kid growing up in England in the early 1960s trading bubble gum for toy cars – something that he paid dearly for as you'll find out. Undeterred by that early childhood incident, he's since led a successful sales career spanning decades, selling insurance and phone headsets before he got into selling on-hold messages. While a big fan of cold calling, John has also incorporated newer tactics into his sales process such as LinkedIn and attending virtual networking groups to set up “warm calls” and build relationships that lead to numerous referrals and new business.

In this podcast, I explore the theme of mass hysteria or mass psychogenic illness. I discuss the triggers, the clinical manifestations, and the management.I use a global perspective and narrate examples of mass hysteria manifesting in different parts of the world. These included hysterical outbreaks of toxic gas anxiety in schools in Singapore, Hong Kong, and Bangladesh.Amongst the relatively contemporary conditions the podcast covers are the Havana syndrome, TikTok tics, and the epidemics of sleeping narrated by Suzanne O'Sullivan's in her book titled The Sleeping Beauties.I also discuss the historical background of mass hysteria such as demonic possession in nunneries in Europe, and the mass dancing hysteria described by John Waller in his book titled The Dancing Plague.The podcast also covers the culture bound syndromes, such as Hwa-Byung - a Korean anger syndrome; Amok - bouts of mass murder in the Malay Peninsula; and Koro - genital retraction in Asia and Africa. Also included are cultural startle syndromes such as the Jumping French Canadians in Maine, and Miryiachit in Siberia.
Abby and Alan discuss the horrifying and very real dancing plague of 1518. In the French Town of Strasbourg, in the summer of 1518, a bizarre and horrifying plague took as many as 400 lives. The plague started with a single woman, who could not stop dancing. Almost for an entire week she danced alone until others slowly joined her. Dancing until their bodies gave out.Watch our film The Witching Hour here. SourcesA Time to Dance, A Time to Die: The Extraordinary Story of The Dancing Plague of 1518. A book by John Waller.

It was great reconnecting with Yochanan Marcellino at the Messiah Conference this past July. Here's a little background on him:Yochanan Marcellino was the son of legendary Motown A&R producer Jerry Marcellino (Michael Jackson, Diana Ross & The Supremes, Lionel Richie & the Commodores and Smokey Robinson). Yochanan Marcellino was also the founder of FM Management, managing such artists as Kerry Livgren of Kansas ("Dust in the Wind"), Cindy Birdsong of The Supremes, Kyle Henderson of The Producers and John Waller, who has featured songs in the Fireproof, Courageous andWar Room motion pictures and soundtracks. Marcellino also founded several successful record labels over his 40-year career, including Kerygma Records/Bright Star Records,City of Peace Media and its affiliates, and most recently, Identical Production Company (The Identical motion picture). Marcellino has released over 70 major music projects worldwide through his record labels and has led key divisions of several other music companies.He is the founder, president, and CEO of City of Peace Media, City of Peace Films, and Galilee of the Nations and has been instrumental in producing much of the music we have come to enjoy within the Messianic Community.
In today's episode, I am excited to sit down with John Waller. John is the former owner/principal of Uncage the Soul Productions in Portland, Oregon. In October 2020, he faced a stage four colorectal cancer diagnosis, prompting him to seek a holistic approach alongside Western medicine, including psychedelic-based therapy to navigate the emotional and mental challenges. John also explored the concept of assisted suicide, which is a legal right in Oregon for individuals with a terminal diagnosis. In an altered state, he conversed with himself about whether he would take the pill to end his life. Through this exploration, he was able to understand the ripple effects and consequences of such a decision.In our conversation, John opens up about his personal journey with psychedelic therapy. We discuss our difficult childhoods and the long-term impact on our mental health. John explains how psychedelics became a tool for therapy after traditional talk therapy proved limited. He shares his transformative experiences with psychedelics, addressing childhood traumas and finding love and compassion for himself. John also discusses his stage four colorectal cancer diagnosis and the importance of addressing his illness's emotional and mental aspects.

If you have been listening to the show for a while now, you know we are constantly talking about how to view–and run–a business like a financial asset. Bigger corporations typically have this mentality baked into their day-to-day lives and are laser focused on growing their share prices, and the executives' goals are to drive that share price up. Sometimes the best way to drive up the long-term share price is to divest of a weak product line, floundering business unit, or underperforming location in order to make room for profitable long-term growth. Today, I have John Walker from Prairie Capital Advisors on the show to share with us how the world of corporate divestitures works. John has been in the industry helping bigger companies sell off (divest) business units for decades. John walks us through how bigger corporations view value, why they would want to sell a division/unit/product line, and how they view the valuation during the sale. John does a great job explaining what drives the sale (“the purpose of the deal” as you hear me say a lot) and how that impacts the price that is paid. Understanding the M&A activity, especially within your industry, is a hugely important topic for a few reasons. First off, many of us middle-market entrepreneurs work with bigger companies (suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, customers, vendors, etc.), and it is important to understand what is going on behind the scenes and how a corporate divestiture could impact your relationship and the business you do with that company. Secondly, there could be an opportunity to capitalize on a corporate divestiture in your industry–or an adjacent one–that could take your company and valuation to a level that would not have been possible otherwise. And you never know…the seller just might not care about the price ;-) You will have to tune in to the episode to hear that part of the story! I hope you enjoy this interview with John. It’s a great view into a world most of us don’t often get exposed to! What You Will Learn How bigger companies manage their products and divisions like a mutual fund. Why a bigger company would sell a part of their business and not care what price they sell it for. What corporate divestitures are and why they are a normal business practice. Why a business owner would consider doing a corporate divestiture. The different reasons a company would sell off a product line, division, or location. Why it’s important to understand the intentions of a buyer. Who the different types of buyers are when a company divests of one of their companies. What corporate divestitures mean for the middle-market entrepreneur. John'
We were joined for our first expert interview of the season by John Waller, historian at the Michigan State University. We discuss the causes of the plague, why other possession epidemics were most prevelant amongst women, and what happened at the shrine of Saint Vitus. If you want to learn more about this topic, we recommend John's book "The Dancing Plague: The Strange, True Story of an Extraordinary Illness".
What an exciting program today! I loved chatting with John Waller. John wrote songs we sing at Shema - including "Our God Reigns Here," the Blessing over the children that Shaya sings each week, and the recent song at Simchat Torah, "Your Word, My Life." While a rising star on the Christian music scene, he shared that recently he and his family have started observing Shabbat and enjoy celebrating the Jewish holidays.He has recorded many CDs. While not in the studio John can be found with his wife and 10 children residing in Atlanta, GA.
The line from awareness to worry, plus readying your relationship for trials, and should you attend a Christian's wedding to a non-Christian?Featured musical artist: John WallerRoundtable: Informed but Calm Life is filled with unknowns. No matter how hard we try to predict the future, we can't — nor can we adjust our circumstances to avoid pain. As we ponder what's ahead, it's one thing to be aware of what's happening in the world, but it's very draining to always worry about it. But is staying worry-free even possible? Our guests discuss ways they've struggled with worry, plus how they're learning to trust God now while still acknowledging and being concerned by what's going on around them.Culture: When Your Relationship Faces a StormAs an expert on marriage, Gary Thomas loves to see couples fall in love. However, with 38 years of marriage experience, he's very aware of the types of challenges couples inevitably walk through.

Singer/Songwriter John Waller talks to Teaching Your Toddler about his career, his songs including his newest with his daughter called "What My Father Does", working with his children, adopting children and his faith. Listen to what it's like to record with his daughter Sophee, as well as two of his other children. John also talks about having 10 kids and how that came about, marriage to his wife Josee (who makes a special appearance at the end of the interview - lol), his faith and his journey as a musician and how God's plan influenced that. From a recent press release: "Much has been accomplished by singer/songwriter John Waller over the past two decades, including a successful career as a solo artist, but it is his faith and role as a father of 10 that provides inspiration for his newest single, “What My Father Does,” releasing June 18. A rousing anthem leading into 2021's Father's Day weekend, the song introduces the recording debut of Waller's 16-year-old daughter, Sophee Waller. Available to pre-save now, the song will also be featured on Waller's sixth full-length studio album, A Family Thing, slated to release this fall."

In the summer of 1518, one of the most bizarre afflictions in history struck the city of Strasburg; dancing mania. This epidemic of dancing spread, almost like a plague, through the population with many hundreds of people dancing wildly and seemingly uncontrollably often to the point of collapse and even death. Perhaps, even stranger is that the outbreak in Strasbourg is far from the only recorded incidence of this phenomenon. But what caused it? To help delve into this fascinating subject Dan is joined by Dr John Waller, Associate Professor of the History of Medicine and author of A Time to Dance, a Time to Die: The Extraordinary Story of the Dancing Plague of 1518. John explains the atmosphere of fear and tension in Strasbourg in which the dancing mania took hold and how the power of superstition and belief can take the human mind and body in almost unbelievable directions.

Today on the Dads with Daughters Podcast we spoke with Christian recording artist John Waller and his daughter Sophee. We talk to both about fatherhood but also about a brand new song that has been released that allowed John and Sophee to create a song together. About John Waller Much has been accomplished by singer/songwriter John Waller over the past two decades, including a successful career as a solo artist, but it is his faith and role as a father of 10 that provides inspiration for his newest single, “What My Father Does,” releasing June 18. A rousing anthem leading into 2021's Father's Day weekend, the song introduces the recording debut of Waller's 16-year-old daughter, Sophee Waller. Available to pre-save now, the song will also be featured on Waller's sixth full-length studio album, A Family Thing, slated to release this fall. Poetically capturing the inspiring truth of the gospel, “What My Father Does” and the entire new album revolve around God's unequivocal and undeserved love. “My sins don't dismiss it and my achievements don't warrant it,” says John. “I see that more clearly today than ever, and the freedom in that is overwhelming. It's how I love my children and it's how God loves His. It's what my Father does.” Drawing inspiration from a father's love in the parable of the Prodigal Son shared by Jesus, the song builds from an ethereal, piano-driven ambiance into a triumphant, powerful expression filled with a full string orchestra and anchored by father/daughter harmonies. “Sophee has this phenomenal, raspy, Lauren Daigle-like voice that people are drawn to,” continues John. “It was so much fun getting to sing this song with her.” “My favorite part was going to the studio and really seeing it come to life, just the process behind it all,” shares Sophee. “I loved being a part of this because I feel like this is my calling in life. This project is a little sneak peek into that, and, of course, just getting to do this with my Dad is really special. We got to bond a lot during the process of making this song.” The Waller family story, like most people's stories, is one of a constant trajectory forward but with hundreds of unexpected rabbit trails to places they never anticipated. One of those trails led the family to Ukraine where they adopted three siblings who are now an integral part of the Waller family. Other trails included moving the family across the country for a time in local church ministry that resulted in learning to slow down to catch up to God. Now back in his hometown of Senoia, GA, Waller feels he is producing the best music of his life, and is writing lyrics that come from deeply personal encounters with God and time with family. “It just feels different now,” says Waller. “I'm writing from a different place, and with a sense that God is really going to use this music to minister to moms and dads and families, like He has ministered to our family.” The new song follows Waller's first new radio single in over two years, “But God.” The song, initially released from Radiate Music this spring, will be featured on the upcoming album that will be released independently. Known for such inspiring hit singles as “Crazy Faith” (featured in the hit box office film War Room), “While I'm Waiting” (featured in 2008's No.1 independent film Fireproof), “As For Me and My House,” “Awakening (aka The Coffee Song)” and many more, Waller has continually used his gifts as a singer and songwriter to inspire, educate and encourage people across all walks of life.

Founded in 2011 by this episode’s guest, Lorcan Sherry, along with co-founder John Waller, OracleBio entered the digital pathology market with a unique value proposition – to be a contract research organization for tissue image analysis and help other organizations in their biomarker discovery work. Fast forward 10 years and they evolved from a small service provider into a Good Clinical Practice (GCP) compliant organization supporting clinical trials, but still within the same paradigm of providing tissue image analysis services.Originally using one software package (Definiens), they diversified into others such as HALO and Visiopharm to be able to utilize the best tool for the job as well as match what their clients might be using for their internal image analysis projects. The transition to supporting clinical trials was a bit bumpy as Definiens abruptly discontinued the software license that OracleBio’s business was based on, but the organization quickly pivoted and secured a diverse image analysis toolbox which helped them stay in business. Currently, as image analysis methods are advancing and deep learning plays an important role in solving computer vision problems applied to pathology, OracleBio keeps expanding the toolbox incorporating not only ready-to-use software packages but also programming capabilities. This variety of tools allows them to address a wide range of projects in the most efficient way.For a CRO specializing in tissue image analysis, it is critically important to provide adequate quality control of the image analysis results. This process has been incorporated into the operations from the very beginning. Each project starts with the evaluation of the image quality – are they good enough for image analysis? Is there enough tissue? What about the tissue processing artifacts and the quality of staining? Only images that passed the QC criteria are used for algorithm development. In the next step, pathologists annotate the regions relevant for analysis (e.g., the tumor mass vs. the non-neoplastic tissue present on the slide) and later they provide region and cell annotations as ground truth for comparison with algorithm markups and correlation calculations.Apart from the annotations, pathologists provide educational sessions for the image analysis scientists to increase their knowledge about the problems which are being addressed with image analysis with the various projects. Although OracleBio is supporting projects along the whole drug development pipeline, their recent focus has been on supporting immune-oncology clinical trials, which lead the company on the path to GCP compliance. This was a big effort for the company and went far beyond image analysis quality control and software validation. This change affected the way work is done across the entire company and positioned OracleBio to bring in the image analysis capabilities to support clinical trials. While histologic techniques evolved from simple brightfield chromogenic single marker IHC stains to immunofluorescence-based multiplex, which are difficult to evaluate visually, the image analysis tools for this more complex imaging data lagged in terms of regulatory compliance. OracleBio’s decision to commit to GCP compliance definitely closed this gap. Even though the company’s focus shifted to the clinical part of drug development, OracleBio continues to serve their smaller biotech clients throughout their whole R&D process not only by providing high-quality tissue image analysis but also by partnering with other service providers, such as histology labs, to facilitate their customers’ drug discovery and development journey.

A couple of weeks ago I (Kurt) ran across a new song that's not officially on our playlist: But God by John Waller. I had a feeling that you guys would love it. So, we made everyone who was listening an honorary member of the Kurt and Kate Music Advisory Panel. We wanted to know if you: A) Liked the song; and… B) If perhaps we played it just for you at that moment. The response was amazing! Tons of thumbs up and some very cool “in the moment” stories. So, we thought it would be nice to “share the love” with John himself! He joined us in the 8 am ET hour. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's the start of The Eleventh Hour and what better place to start than Germany? Robert, joined by Richard, discuss the curious case of the dancing plague that terrorized Strasburg in 1518. Along with the events of the choreo-mania month of Germany, they discuss the precursor of the dancing, how horrible it is to be a peasant in the 1400s, and perhaps the most fiendish demon you can possibly imagine. All research done for this episode comes from the book The Dancing Plague by John Waller.-Music Used-Heavy Brigade by https://www.purple-planet.comSmoking Gun by https://www.purple-planet.com

Follow us down the garden path as we explore the history of ratcatching, the science of training rats, and how gullible children are.Recorded by Sarah-Jayne Robinson and Tim Newport at CPAS Podcast Studio.Edited by Tim Newport. Transcribed by Sarah-Jayne Robinson.Intro music sampled from "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/--SJ: [Fairytale music underneath] In the year 1284 a mysterious man appeared in Hameln. [Fairytale music continues]SJ: Hi, my name’s SJTee: And my name’s TeeSJ: And we’re Crumbs of Science, a podcast about the science in and around fairytalesTee: So today we’re talking about the Pied Piper of Hamelin, a Brothers Grimm fairytale which was first published in 1816 but the story dates back well before that.SJ: There’s a lot of evidence showing that this event that occurs in the Pied Piper of Hamelin, actually happened. So to give you a rough idea of what was happening around the world in the late 13th Century – Marco Polo was making his journeys around the globe, the Ottoman empire had just been founded and King Edward the First was on the throne in England. The story of the Pied Piper continues – he was wearing a coat of many coloured, bright cloth, for which reason he was called the Pied Piper. He claimed to be a ratcatcher and he promised that for a certain sum that he would rid the city of all mice and rats. The citizens struck a deal, promising him a certain price. The ratcatcher then took a small fife from his pocket, which is a little musical instrument a bit like a flute or a recorder today, and began to blow on it. Rats and mice immediately came from every house and gathered around him. When he thought that he had them all, he led them to the river Wesser, where he pulled off his clothes and walked them into the water. The animals all followed him, fell in, and drowned.Tee: So here’s the thing about, uh, training rats to do things – uh, they can be, rats can be trained. But the, I mean, people do train rats for all sorts of things, uh scientists use them in labs, they, the rats are really smart and they’re used for analogues for humans, um, because we have quite similar physiology…physiological reactions to things, um, and they can be trained.SJ: Could I train rats to follow me when I played my flute?Tee: You could train rats to follow you, yes, but you couldn’t train them to follow you because you’re playing a flute or a fife or uh, whatever you’ve got on hand, um, because when you’re training rats, um, it’s all about quite simple stimuli and quite simple commands. So, there’s an article in the New York Times, uh, from 2016, by Malia Wollan and she interviewed a guy called Mark Harden, from Animals for Hollywood. And the way they train the rats, is they reward them with food and they, uh, when they perform an action after a simple trigger like a click or a light going on, something like that.SJ: Do you think, that if I laid food in front of rats, that they would run, if I put enough food in, they’d run into water and die?Tee: I don’t think so, like we said, they’re actually quite smart, they’re not as, yeh, they’re not that dumb.SJ: So, they couldn’t sew me a dress and they probably wouldn’t follow me when I play my flute, that’s very unexciting.Tee: Music does actually affect rats though. It does, you can, it’s not so much useful for training them, but if you want to change the way rats behave or their physiology, a 2018 review of 42 different studies on rats found that rats really were affected…music, listening to music increased the neuroplasticity of the brains, so the brains ability to reprogram itself, um, it improved their ability to learn, it reduced their anxiety. Uh, it also affected them physically as well, and, it, they tried a bunch of different types of music as well.SJ: I was just, I was trying really hard to find a joke, for what, [T laughing] for what were the favourite, uh a rats favourite music, but sadly I don’t have anything yet.Tee: Well, science says, a rat’s favourite music is, uh, classical music. Um, they use specifically, it’s a very specific Mozart tuneSJ: YepTee: Which we’ll play for you now[Mozart K448 plays]Tee: And it’s Mozart, uh, K448, so it’s just, it’s a particular composition of Mozart’s.SJ: I feel like Mozart usually had more creatively namedTee: Yeh, this wasn’t one of his bigger onesSJ: music. Ah.Tee: I think that scientists just really like using this one. But they’ve alsoSJ: OKTee: used, uh, house musicSJ: YepTee: Um, listening to house music improved the rat’s serotonin levels. Rock music…SJ: That, that, that very much confuses me because house music does not improve anything.Tee: [laughing]SJ: I mean, other than my desire to leave the place where house music is being played.Tee: Um, the, listening to rock music, uh, lowered the blood pressure of the rats. Uh, listening to The Prodigy, um, listened, lowered anxiety.SJ: This is very specific, hopefully it was a scientist’s favouriteTee: [laughing]SJ: I wonder how much effort went into deciding specificallyTee: Mmmmm…SJ: Prodigy, is what was needed.Tee: Yeh, uhSJ: I would also like to know what Taylor SwiftTee: [Laugh] They also listened to Night Wish, as well.SJ: I’ve never even heard of them.Tee: Really? OhSJ: What type of music is that one?Tee: It’s like a goth, pop, high-fantasy...how do I describe?SJ: Those words often don’t go together.Tee: Let’s just play some Night Wish.SJ: I feel like that’s going to be copyrighted.Tee: [laughs]SJ: So, we know what type of music a rat’s favourite, or at least which changes their brains a bit, but what is a rats favourite game?Tee: I don’t know SJ, what’s a rats favourite game?SJ: Hide and squeak!Tee: [groans]SJ: But anyway, so the story continues that once the citizens had been freed, it says specifically of the plague, so the plague of rats, they regretted having promised him so much money. And using lots of excuses, they refused to pay him. So he went away, bitter and angry, as you would if people had refused to pay you. But then he took it another step further and he returned on a specific day, June 26th, St Johns and St Pauls day, early in the morning at 7 o’clock, now dressed in a hunters costume with a dreadful look on his face and wearing a red hat. He sounded his fife in the streets but this time it wasn't rats and mice that came to him but rather children, a great number of boys and girls from their fourth year on. Among them was the mayor's grown daughter. The swarm followed him and he led them into a mountain where he disappeared with them. So the Brothers Grimm the way that they worked was that that they went out and collected stories from around Europe and then just wrote them down. There was a window, a church window in the city of Hamelin which depicted a man playing an instrument, playing the flute or his fife, surrounded by children and then I think it read in their town register that ‘in the year 1284 after the birth of Christ from Hameln were led away 130 children born at this place led away by a Piper into a mountain’. Now that's part of the Brothers Grimm fairy tale but it’s also, was actually written in their town register, which is where he got the story from. The town of Hamelin still believes in this so much so that there’s actually a street, that has has a very German name so I apologize for my pronunciation, Bungelosenstrasse, which is known as the street without drums, and this is the street supposedly where the children were last seen and still, to this day, people aren't allowed to play music or dance there, to the point where if you were having a wedding procession and you had a band with you and you wanted to cross the street, all the musicians would have to stop playing, walk across the street, and then they could start on the other side. So they still really really believe in this. So there’s a couple of theories about what happened to these children, I’ll admit, none of them good.Tee: But before we hear the theories, let’s take a look at the actual story. So the story says, he played music and the children all followed him. So children are affected, like, the science is, the science says, basically, children are affected by music, and every few years, someone publishes an article saying music is good for learning, music will make your child a genius, listening to Mozart in the womb will make your child the next Stephen Hawking.SJ: I have definitely heard this, however there has only been one Stephen Hawking and I somehow doubt that he was played Mozart in the womb.Tee: [mmm]SJ: You never know, my kids are going to have Taylor Swift played for them so.Tee: [laughs] Well, so here’s the thing, we know it has an effect on children's development, there was a review of 46 studies published in the Frontiers in Psychology Journal, um, that found that while they couldn’t definitively say that music didn’t have any effects, they also, it was unclear in every regard, the specific effects of the music.SJ: But there’s so many storiesTee: Yeh, I know rightSJ: It means it must be true.Tee: Well because there’s these, these studies get done all the time because we all want to know how to, like, how we can improve our children’s development, how we can make people, make people smarter generally,SJ: Some children, are dumb,Tee: But they found it was basically unclear whether music had any effect on motor skills, social skills, language skills, cognition, academic performance…SJ: [sighs]Tee: There was basically, you could, you could say there is...SJ: Rats, is it really just homework, just doing homework and being generally smart.Tee: Yeh, I think just going to school and being a good student, makes you a better student. That was pretty much it.SJ: So upsetting, what about osmosis, by putting your textbook under your pillow and then going to sleep in the morningTee: I mean, that was my strategy for many years.SJ: [laughs] Mine too.Tee: And well here we are.SJ: I don’t think it actually worked. Sad to say I never remembered any of the answers I needed.Tee: So music doesn’t hypnotise children, that’s probably pretty clear. What are the theories on how these children were taken?SJ: There have been lots of ideas about what could have happened to them. So one of the ideas is that they all died from the plague, because the bubonic plague swept through Europe. However, this theory doesn’t really stack up because the Black Death actually swept through Europe about 100 years later. It was pretty horrible, it did kill around a third of Europe, however it’s very unlikely that it did kill these children in Hamelin. So there's another theory that maybe the children were sent away from their parents because of the extreme poverty. There's some other theories that maybe the children were part of the mysterious dancing plague. So dancing plagues, the most famous one that I found was in 1518 in Strasbourg where hundreds of citizens danced uncontrollably and supposedly unwillingly for days on end and overall it lasted for about two months before ending as it began and I, from the sounds of it, it's just people went out on the street and started dancing and wouldn't stop for anything. They would collapse when they were exhausted and then they’d just get up and start dancing again when they could.Tee: Were they, like, aware that they were dancing, were they conscious?SJ: [high-pitched] I feel like they were. There’s a couple of explanations, some of them more plausible than others for these dancing plagues, like demonic possession, there’s other ones like overheated blood which I suppose was a diagnosis in the medical, in medieval times, cause I haven’t heard of that. There’s also eating some weird sustogens.Tee: There was one theory about um, ergot, the, which is a psychedelic um, psychedelic fungus. That was the one that they thought might have been the, um, the ah, the Salem Witch trials, could have been a similar deal, yeh. Basically it gets into the water and then you drink the water and then you, uh, experience altered states of conscience, you react in different ways, but, I reckon that one was, they didn’t really think that one was a good theory because not everyone would have reacted in the exact same way, whereas the dancing plagues, everyone just went out dancing.SJ: The most accepted theory for dancing plagues, was from the American medical historian, John Waller, who believe that it was a form of mass psychogenic disorder which takes place under circumstances of extreme stress, which, once again, makes sense, living in the middle ages was very very stressful. So, there was the idea that maybe these children were part of a dancing, a random dancing plague but once again, doesn't really stack up because the most famous ones were around 1518 so that's a couple of hundred years later. The very, well the last popular theory is that, once again, pardon my German, that Ostsiedlung, which was the mass movement of German people eastwards, to go colonise other countries which happened during the middle ages. So then the theory is that the Pied Piper was a flamboyantly dress recruiting officer and convincing the townspeople to leave and colonize Eastern Europe and this theory’s sort of backed up by later on in the Brothers Grimm fairy tale that, there’s actually the line that says, ‘Some say that the children were led into a cave and that they came out again in Transylvania’ so that supports the theory. And there's a linguist, Jurgen Udolph, who researched that the names from Hamelin may have found their way into modern-day Polish names, so Poland-Transylvania, not that close really, but this is…Tee: Yeh, a linguistic link across the two. And the, I mean, there is the thing where they may have referred to the townspeople as the children of the town as well in this, in this original inscription that the Brothers Grimm took a look at, it could have, they could have been talking about adults. They’re just saying the children of the town were led away, rather than not specifically meaning the young people of the town.SJ: However we didn’t mention a really interesting part of this story is that today, you always hear it as, the children, the rats were killed and then the children were taken away but thenthe, in the first, from like when it actually happened, from the 1200s through to the, about maybe the 1600s, the story was just about the children being taken away, the rats weren’t actually part of it. That was added later. I think there was another story?Tee: I mean, ratcatchers were a huge thing, like when, especially when the black death came around, it, if you were, if you come into a town and get rid of their rats, people would sing songs about you, people would write stories about you. So…SJ: Very popular people.Tee: The, um uh, the Black Death was going, going around in the 1300s so, both these stories would have been old when the Brothers Grimm were collecting them, so it’s entirely possible they just got mashed together.SJ: So this story has actually, it’s so popular, there’s heaps and heaps of versions around the world, so there’s versions, a couple of versions from Germany, there’s versions from Denmark, there’s versions from Austria - where it’s the ratcatcher of Korneuburg, there’s the rat hunter from Denmark, England had their own go with the Pied Piper of Newtown. There’s also a version of Syria of Avicenna and the Mouse Plague at Aleppo. So this was a really big story in the middle ages and it’s also pretty popular now. It’s a bit, it’s a pretty horrifying story,Tee: YehSJ: So I don’t quite know why it turns up so much.Tee: And here’s, and here’s the thing with this story, is that it really doesn’t, there’s not really a moral orSJ: No, usually these stories are like,Tee: YehSJ: children, be good and listen to your parents, this one almost seems to be - remember to pay people.Tee: Yeh, pretty much, it’s yeh, don’t, don’t stiff people or they might take your children, which.SJ: Is a really extreme reaction.Tee: Yeh.SJ: Gosh, there are laws against that sort of thing nowadays.Tee: I mean, as a, as a freelancer, I want to get paid, but I’m not going to resort to kidnapping.SJ: [laughs] Then you’d have to look after the children, which, let’s be honest, will cost you more than you agreed to get paid.Tee: Um, don’t try to use rats for useful tasks, is I guess the main message.SJ: But you could, we can train them to make my clothes.Tee: Mmmm.SJ: We can, make them walk into water and die.Tee: Mm.SJ: Not at all?Tee: Not at all.SJ: Rats!Tee: [laughs]SJ: Ah, that, didn’t even plan that one, one. So thank you very much everyone, hopefully you learnt something or at least enjoyed listening to us blabber. So we hope that you have a happily ever after, at least until next week.[Fairytale music starts and then fades out]

More Than a Song - Discovering the Truth of Scripture Hidden in Today's Popular Christian Music
We wait. We wait in grocery lines and at the bank. We wait for vacations and new jobs. We wait for opportunity, we wait for healing. We spend a good portion of our life in the in-between times, so what should we do with all that waiting? That is what this week's song, "While I'm Waiting" by John Waller and our Scripture emphasis in Psalm 40 both talk about. Perhaps God is developing something in you in the wait that will be necessary in the arrival. On this week's episode I discuss: The podcast episode with Michael Hyatt and Michele Cushatt that inspired me to choose the song Major Biblical figures forced to wait long periods of time before God brought them to a place of success How waiting does not just accompany faith, it is woven into the fabric of our faith because it is woven into the fabric of our lives David's song of waiting - Psalm 40 How David waited and God's response - Psalm 40:1 The hardest part of waiting How trouble and temptations can develop patience in us - James 1:2-4 How God steadies us even on solid ground - Psalm 40:2 Embracing the wait and learning what God has for us - Psalm 40:6 A quote from Jeff Goins' book, "The In-Between" Worshiping in the wait - Psalm 40:5 Serving in the wait - Psalm 40:10 The good that can come out of the wait - Psalm 40:3 A reminder to TRUST GOD in the wait - Psalm 40:4 There will always be seasons of wait - Psalm 40:13, 17 Additional Resources Lyrics Behind the Song with Kevin Davis on New Release Tuesday Transcript of Michael Hyatt's podcast episode on "Waiting" "What To Do While You're Waiting" by Daniel Darling This Week's Challenge Spend some time in Psalm 40 for yourself!
