He also talks about juggling 33 lawns before a beach vacation, fall leaf removal on a lake property loaded with oak trees, the Billy Goat debate (18 vs. 37 horse), running ethanol-free fuel in all his equipment, and his helper Nathan who keeps things moving.

The Blasters & Blades PodcastIn the near future, data is currency, corporations are kingdoms, and survival is a luxury few can afford. This week, we sit down with author J. Kenton Pierce to discuss his thrilling sci-fi novel, A Kiss for Damocles. We dive deep into the neon-drenched underbelly of his world, exploring the high-stakes chess match of corporate espionage, the psychological toll of cybernetic modification, and what happens when a precision operation spirals into absolute chaos. Pull up a chair and pour a drink, it's time to step into the shadows. This was a fun interview, so go check it out. Join us for a fun show!

The first question that most people ask when I reveal I have recorded nearly 500 episodes of this podcast is "surely you must have run out of things to talk about by now?" Well this week's TCD (...sorry Lucy) is a perfect example of how we have got to 261 chapters and a similar number of bonus episodes.Firstly we can get half a podcast out of literally anything, the example for today is me making a decision to nip out for some lunch.Secondly because we can't actually deliver what we plan for any episode whatsoever within the allowed time slot, we are invariably finishing off the thing that we didn't finish last time. So again, using today as the example, we have a crack at the few questions that we didn't get to in the last Purple Q&A episode, because last time out we were too busy banging on about something else - not that I can remember what that was.Anyway thanks to Kenton, Mike and Wendy for putting forward your questions.Love'n'crabshTCD Merch StoreBecome Purple and support the showThe Invisible Man Volume 1: 1991-1997The Invisible Man Volume2: 1998-2014FacebookInstagramWebsite

Speed climber and mountaineer Karl Egloff returns to Everest this year, and Kenton catches up with him for a quick chat. Listeners may remember Karl joined the pod last year ahead of his FKT attempt, which was ultimately thwarted by poor weather. After a year of very disciplined training, Karl is back and fully focused on becoming the fastest person to go from basecamp to the summit of Everest and back again in a single push with no supplementary oxygen. He talks to Kenton about what he learnt last year, what his preparation has looked like and the enormity of the challenge. They compare conditions this year versus last year and agree that safety is always the number one priority, particularly with family waiting at home. Karl's challenge is a big one and we wish him the very best of luck!

In this episode, Kenton hosts Reuben, co-founder of Firo, to discuss privacy coins, the challenges they face, and the future of decentralized privacy solutions.

This week, Kenton sits down with expedition doctor Jakob Muehlbacher and asks for his insights into working on Everest. Jakob is back on Everest for the fourth time. He first took the role of expedition doctor in 2023, then combined the role with a summit in 2024, and has continued as doctor in 2025 and 2026. He is fascinated by high-altitude medicine and deals with a whole spectrum of issues from 'easy' gastro distress and coughs and colds, to pulmonary issues often providing remote advice to guides higher up the mountain. Interestingly, Jakob supported the Xenon team last year and he and Kenton have an interesting discussion about the use of hypoxic tents before travelling to altitude. Listen now to hear a medical professional's view of working on Everest.

Ep 589 -  Taking Care of Men Guest: Kenton Boston, Canadian Men's Health Foundation By Stuart McNish   “Health is complex and men's health is complicated by a variety of factors that include biology, behavioral choices, and peer pressure,” says Kenton Boston, the President of the Canadian Men's Health Foundation. According to Boston, one of the biggest challenges is a stoic mentality. He says, “‘Suck it up' is a phrase all too familiar to men and it can lead to severe mental and physical health challenges.”   Despite decades of efforts to change the “suck it up” narrative, stereotypes persist. Boston says, “Breaking down resistance to seeking help requires a patient consistent message – a message confirming men and their health matter to the people who love them.”   Heart disease, cancer, and a host of other major organ issues are concerns for both women and men. Boston notes, “However, for men, mental health and suicide are two major concerns men tend to face alone.” Stigma, judgement, masculinity norms, denial, and a lack of male-friendly healthcare are cited as reasons why men prefer to keep their mouths shut about their health.   We invited Kenton Boston of the Canadian Men's Health Foundation to join us for a Conversation That Matters about men and their well-being.   You can see the interview here https://www.conversationsthatmatter.ca/ Learn More about our guests career at careersthatmatter.ca

Anchor Passage: (Ecclesiastes 4:4-5:7)Work and rest. Both are gifts from God, but they aren't worthy of our worship—always asking for more from us and unable to satisfy. We are tempted to swing between workaholism and laziness, but there is a better way to live. Join us as we learn how to view both rest and work looking to the only One who is worthy of our awe!

Whilst Kenton is in Nepal, he always bumps into a host of interesting people. This year, he is recording a series of 'Everest Shorts', in which he asks people about their take on Everest, rather than about themselves. Kenton's first guest is Ben Ayers, who has been living in Nepal since 1998. He is a journalist and filmmaker, and has also been involved in a number of non-profits during his career. Ben has experience working as a porter in the Everest region and he is passionate about telling the stories of all the Nepali workers on the mountain. He runs the Everest Live YouTube channel which provides daily updates throughout the season. Listen in and let us know what you think!

We have another Tales from the Trails for you this week! This time, Kenton travels to West Papua to climb Carstensz Pyramid with 'the twins' who are ticking off their 'seventh summit' on this expedition. Travel to and from Indonesia is severely impacted by the war in Iran and this adds a variety of challenges to the trip. However, they are all surmountable and the trio make it to base camp with only one major drama. Carstensz Pyramid is the lowest of the seven summits at 4,884m and the climb to the top can be done in one push from base camp, but is heavily reliant on good weather. Kenton takes us up the mountain with them, describing the equipment, the route, the weather and the views. Listen now for a taste of a mountaineering expedition, narrated in real time.

In our latest podcast, Kenton Brunson, director of agronomy at the legendary Mid Ocean Club, joins us to talk about managing bermudagrass in Bermuda and the challenges that come with maintaining a golf course on a small island in the Atlantic. We also cover his experiments with creeping bentgrass greens, upcoming renovations at the course, the strong business mindset he brings to the maintenance department, thoughts on leadership, and much more.

In this special bonus episode of All About The Archers, we're joined by Richard Attlee, the actor who plays Kenton Archer in The Archers on BBC Radio 4.Our wonderful Facebook group submitted the questions, and Richard answers them with warmth, humour and plenty of behind-the-scenes insight into life in Ambridge.We chat about Kenton's life at The Bull, whether he'd actually run a pub in real life, and what it's like stepping into one of the show's most recognisable characters. Richard also shares memories of Kenton's dramatic dog attack storyline, reflects on Kenton's relationships with characters like Jolene and Shula, and discusses whether he thinks Kenton would actually be friends with his own character.There's also plenty of fun along the way — including Kenton's favourite biscuit, the possibility of a Kenton retirement hobby, and whether Kenton would serve Alice a drink in The Bull.If you love The Archers, Kenton Archer, and hearing from the actors who bring Ambridge to life, this is an episode you won't want to miss.Thank you to everyone in our Facebook group who sent in questions.If you enjoy the podcast, there are lots of ways to stay involved and support the show:Watch, follow & support All About The Archers▶️ Watch on YouTube: All About The Archers☕ Support the podcast: Buy us a coffee

For this Paramount 1934 episode we watched Search for Beauty, which pits beauty-as-health (a wasted and almost unrecognizable Ida Lupino and frequently topless, sometimes bottomless, and always witless Olympic swimmer Buster Crabbe) against beauty-as-sex in a meta-commentary on pre-Codes released just before the crackdown, and the Hecht-MacArthur-Garmes Crime Without Passion, starring Claude Rains and Margo as a couple destined to destroy each other in a full-blown film noir six years before that "cycle" started. The latter adds to the evidence for Paramount as the studio of idiosyncratic auteur experimentation, while the former adds to the evidence that Paramount often flounders without its auteurs.  Time Codes: 0h 00m 25s:      1934 & Paramount 0h 09m 04s:      SEARCH FOR BEAUTY [dir.

Tales From The Trails (TFTT) is back and this time Kenton is in Argentina. He takes us along on his journey from Mendoza to Aconcagua base camp and beyond, describing the conditions, the terrain, the camps and the people. Kenton has recorded this on his acclimatisation rotation before attempting the summit in a few days time. Aconcagua is known for being very windy and there are a couple of bits of audio in which the wind is quite prominent. We hope you will continue listening as it always drops off after a few seconds. Take it as evidence that this is recorded direct from the mountain!

Emotions run high for the Gordon family, and Kenton finds himself caught in the middle.

From South Africa to the global tattoo stage, Oliver Kenton didn't follow a straight line — he followed geometry. In this episode of Chats & Tatts with host Aaron Della Vedova, we sit down with Oliver to talk about the long road behind his unmistakable geometric and ornamental tattoo work. What started as an obsession with pattern, structure, and precision became a way of making sense of movement, identity, and starting over in a new country. Oliver opens up about: Growing up in South Africa and how that environment shaped his eye and why geometry became his language when words weren't enough. The discipline, patience, and control behind large-scale geometric tattoos, his migration, reinvention, and building a life through art are explored in this open, honest chat. His work isn't about trends — it's about order, balance, and intention. This conversation goes deeper than needles and skin. It's about spirituality and the impact of DMT experiences, finding stability through repetition, carving identity through lines, and trusting the process even when the path isn't clear. Chat Highlights: 00:00 — Why leaving home shaped everything. 03:48 — How patterns, precision, and repetition became his language. 08:32 — Tattooing as control, discipline, and meditation. 14:10 — Trusting the long game. 19:45 — Large-Scale Commitment 31:06 — Permanence Means Something 42:20 — The Energy Exchange 47:55 — Not Chasing Trends 53:40 — Tattoos as a Record of Time 1:05:00 — What Success Really Looks Like 1:16:20 — Advice for Artists Coming Up Quotes: "Geometry gave me order when everything else felt uncertain." "There was no straight path from South Africa to here — just lines I trusted." "I don't tattoo trends. I tattoo intention." "Repetition isn't boring — it's where discipline turns into freedom." "When someone trusts you with their skin, that responsibility is everything." "Large-scale work teaches patience — not just to the client, but to the artist." "Tattooing became the place where chaos finally made sense." "Every line is a decision you have to stand behind forever."

Harrison though is grateful to Kenton for trying to protect him from hearing about what happened, even at the cost of being traumatised again. Fallon insists, no more George, not on Christmas Day. Trying a different tack later, Harrison tells Fallon he's been working on his anger management – and it paid off when Kenton got scared by George and Holly. Dealing with what George said to Fallon will be harder, but Harrison suggests dealing with it together in whatever way Fallon prefers. Fallon repeats that she just wants a lovely Christmas together and not to think about George, which Harrison accepts. Alan catches Hannah going nowhere in particular. She explains about her mum's dementia and how her planned visit today has been postponed. As she doesn't have any other plans, Alan invites Hannah for a drink at the pub. Where Fallon catches Kenton and Jolene raiding the kitchen for snacks, while the hired-in chef is serving in the restaurant. They confess that rather than heading to Lower Loxley they'd prefer to stay in, slobbing about in pyjamas. Fallon offers to pass on their excuses, before she joins Hannah for Christmas dinner. It's clear Hannah would have eaten alone otherwise, as she usually does. Joined by tipsy Jolene, they pull crackers together and drink in the Christmas spirit.

Kenton makes an admission, and Hannah gets competitive.
