Welcome back, Roadies! Todd and Jim are settling into the newly redesigned Corner Rickhouse at the Frankfort Bourbon Society, fresh paint and all, for another wide-ranging tasting session. Todd teases an upcoming Monday Meetup celebrating a milestone birthday, and Jim shares highlights from a family trip to Savannah before the two dive into four distinctly different finished and blended whiskeys that span Colorado craft, orchard-inspired blends, Scotch-barrel finishing, and rare American oak. On the Tasting Mat: - Lock & Co. Big Blaze Bourbon: A Denver-based, 95-proof, five-year-old bourbon uniquely finished with charred Aspen wood discs sourced directly from trees destroyed in Colorado's 2020 East Troublesome Fire. The nose opens with smoked maple caramel and a bright, citrus freshness. The palate is clean and straightforward — sweet maple and caramel lead, the smokiness softens mid-palate, and a gentle white pepper spice emerges on the finish. Ten percent of proceeds support Grand County firefighters and first responders. Available in Colorado and online to 48 states for around $56.99. *(00:25:37)* - Chicken Cock Oh Glory Limited Edition Hunter-Proof American Whiskey Blend: A one-of-a-kind collaboration between Chicken Cock and Laird & Company, blending 70% of Chicken Cock's 95/5 Kentucky straight rye (distilled at Bardstown) with 30% Laird's bottled-in-bond apple brandy, bottled at 100 proof. The nose is an inviting walk through an apple orchard in spring — fresh red apples with a subtle rye mintiness underneath. The palate is buttery and remarkably smooth, with a cool sweet wave up front, almost no mid-palate bite, and a warming, peppery finish that builds with each sip. Twelve thousand bottles released at an MSRP of $65. *(00:43:51)* - Bardstown Bourbon Company Lox of Jura Barrel Finish: A bespoke blend of 49% 11-year Indiana bourbon (75/21/4), 30% 10-year Indiana rye (95/5), and 21% 12-year Kentucky bourbon (75/13/12), rested an additional 32 months in single malt Scotch whiskey barrels sourced from the Isle of Jura — 84% ex-bourbon and 16% ex-sherry Scotch casks — and bottled at 104 proof. The nose layers honeydew melon, orchard fruit, and gentle malt in a way that is decidedly un-peated and approachable. The palate achieves a remarkable balance among all three components — bourbon sweetness, rye spice, and fruity Scotch character — with the lines between them blurring beautifully. The finish is long and warming, growing more Scotch-forward with time. MSRP $140. *(00:46:55)* - Bardstown Bourbon Company Discovery 2026: A blend of 55% 10-year Indiana bourbon (75/21/4), 25% 11-year Kentucky bourbon (74/18/8), and 20% 7-year Kentucky bourbon (74/16/10), finished in custom Gariana oak barrels hand-toasted for three hours by Oregon Barrel Works and chosen for maximum summer extraction, bottled at 112.8 proof. The nose presents butterscotch, burnt sugar, and a hint of molasses-like richness. The palate leans sweet and thick with cola-like depth, cooked cherry, and a distinct nuttiness; the finish carries a pleasant citrus-cherry brightness with lingering spice. MSRP $140. *(01:01:13)* As a bonus pour, the guys also opened the Lost Lantern United States of Bourbon 1776 Edition, a one-time-only cask-strength blend of bourbons from distilleries in each of the 13 original colonies — from Painted Stave (DE) and Liberty Pole (PA) to King's County (NY) and Reservoir (VA) — hand-numbered to 1,776 bottles at 121.4 proof and MSRP $199.99. It rounds out an episode packed with creative finishing techniques, cross-category blending, and the kind of spirited conversation that makes the Bourbon Road worth every mile. Head to thebourbonroad.com to sign up for the Roadie Bar, watch for giveaways featuring full 750ml bottles of the Discovery and Lox of Jura, and we'll see you down the road!

Todd Ritter flies solo as host this week on The Bourbon Road, welcoming Chip Tate — Master Distiller of Innovation for Ampersand Spirits (a Foley Family Spirits project) — for a deep dive into one of the most inventive new whiskey series to hit shelves. Chip brings his decades of distilling philosophy, his background founding Balcones Distillery in Texas, and his stint crafting copper pot stills, all to bear on a four-expression lineup that challenges every assumption about what American whiskey can be. From a nine-year-old neutral grain spirit aged in ex-cognac barrels to a six-way wine barrel finish on a high-malt bourbon, every pour here tells a story of deliberate curiosity. On the Tasting Mat: - Ampersand Vinea: A 92-proof blend of 75% rye whiskey and 25% neutral grain spirit that spent over nine years in ex-cognac barrels — a happy accident born when barrels bought in France in 2015 for another project were kept wet and simply never emptied. The result is thin in body but surprisingly aromatic, with grapevine, cognac-cask fruit esters, and a firm French-oak tannin structure that recalls aged Scottish grain whiskey. Non-chill filtered. *(00:01:28)* - Ampersand Malice: Also at 92 proof and non-chill filtered, Malice blends 51% rye whiskey with 49% Calvados (French apple brandy) into a cross-category spirit that Chip frames as a chef sourcing ingredients from two different farms. The nose erupts with apple-cinnamon potpourri; the palate delivers stewed apple, warming rye spice, and a richness that proves Calvados can stand toe-to-toe with a robust rye. MSRP $59.99. *(00:13:07)* - Ampersand Opumus (Batch 1 — 116.6 proof): The crown jewel of the lineup, Opumus starts with 15-year-old Kentucky straight bourbon (sourced from Wild Turkey) that Chip found overly tannic on its own, then finishes it in Tokaji wine barrels for approximately one year per batch. At cask strength near 58.3% ABV, this is a dramatic whiskey: deep floral and juicy-fruit aromatics, stewed raisin, leather, tobacco, and a sweetness drawn from the mold-ripened Tokaji. Limited to roughly 55 barrels per release; when it's gone, it's gone. *(00:30:35)* - Gambit No. 6: Bottled at 92 proof (46% ABV) and non-chill filtered, Gambit begins with a six-year-old high-malt bourbon that first passes through stripped-and-re-toasted Chardonnay barrels before being split into four finishing streams — Oloroso Sherry, Muscatel, Tokaji, and Laird's apple brandy barrels — where it rests for 18-plus months. The resulting blend is deliberately Bordeaux-like in concept: the Chardonnay provides structure and brightness, the Oloroso brings nuttiness, the Tokaji adds juiciness, and the apple brandy ties every fruit note together. Soft, integrated, and sessionable at its proof. MSRP approximately $65. *(00:41:01)* Chip Tate is one of the most analytically minded distillers working in American craft spirits today, and this conversation makes that abundantly clear. Whether he's explaining why 46% ABV is the floor for non-chill filtration, drawing parallels between broken hollandaise and a misproofed blend, or describing how he shepherds hundreds of individual barrels through a six-way finish, his precision is matched only by his genuine love for the unexpected. Listeners who want to track down these bottles can find them through Southern Glazers distribution in most markets, or via direct-to-consumer options on the Ampersand and Gambit websites. A teaser for an upcoming fifth Ampersand release — described only as "a brother from another mother" to Opumus — should have fans of that expression paying close attention to Chip's Instagram at @ChipTateWhiskey.

A recent suggestion for getting more people to play Sorare was shot down because of one major concern: what if people abuse it by multi-accounting?Which led us to a question we never thought we'd ask...Is Sorare even WORTH scamming?On today's SorareAndrews, Laird and Black take a tongue-in-cheek look at Sorare's concerns around multi-accounting, how much managers could realistically gain from exploiting certain promotions, and whether the fear of abuse is actually holding back ideas that could make the game more fun and accessible.Obviously, we're not encouraging anyone to scam Sorare. But if every new incentive has to account for people trying to game the system, how much should that affect the experience for everyone else?We'll discuss that, the current state of Sorare, and plenty more on today's show.

Most people think big wave surfers are fearless. Luca says fear is the only place courage can exist. Luca Padua is a big wave surfer from Half Moon Bay, California, who grew up two miles from Mavericks, one of the most dangerous waves on Earth. He surfed it for the first time at 13, lived with Laird Hamilton and Gabby Reece for six years, and now runs Bigger Than Waves, a project supporting veteran mental health through VETS. What surprised me is how honest Luca is about being scared. He was the cautious kid his mom had to walk down the high dive. He argues fear is intelligence, not weakness. Courage isn't innate; it's built through training, like the pool sessions with Laird that once made him black out. That framing runs through every story he tells, from his first drop at Mavericks with the jagged Boneyard rocks below him to sitting shoulder to shoulder with his childhood heroes in the lineup. We also get into his path away from enlisting in the military, the letter from a special operations friend that changed his direction, and why he believes purpose has to come before performance. You'll learn: [0:00] Introduction [6:04] Big wave surfers aren't fearless, and the only place courage can exist  [10:33] The lore of Mavericks and what makes an 80-foot wave so deadly [23:49] Luca's fallout with his parents after that first Mavericks session, and finding his path forward [37:16] The lesson Laird Hamilton taught him about being faithful in the small things [42:01] Almost enlisting in the military, and how Bigger Than Waves and VETS was born [53:48] What training with Ido Portal and Christian McCaffrey taught him about being a beginner [1:00:39] Navigating social media as a distraction machine while staying on the righteous path Resources Mentioned: Laird Hamilton | Website VETS (Veterans Exploring Treatment Solutions) | Website The Almanack of Naval Ravikant by Eric Jorgenson | Book Inside Maverick's: Portrait of a Monster Wave by Doug Acton | Book In Waves and War | Netflix Find more from Luca: Luca Padua | Instagram | YouTube Bigger Than Waves | Instagram | Website Find more from Ste: Ste Lane | Instagram Radical Health Radio | Instagram | YouTube Heart and Soil Supplements | Website | Instagram | X | YouTube

European packs have arrived in Sorare Colors, and I've been saving for this one.I have more than *225,000 Essence to spend, which means we're opening nearly 230 Bronze packs* on today's Sorare with Laird.While we rip through the packs, we'll discuss the latest developments with Sorare Colors, what we've learned about Set so far, and what we could see when the next Set launches in September.But there's also a bigger question: Has the return of Sorare Pro and Arena made Set less interesting?With so many different ways to play Sorare 27, we'll talk about where Set fits into the ecosystem now, and whether we'll still be as excited to grind the next Set.

Gérer sa trésorerie devient vite complexe quand une entreprise travaille avec plusieurs banques, plusieurs comptes… voire plusieurs sociétés. Entre les flux à répartir, les financements à maintenir et le besoin d'avoir une vision globale, la gestion peut rapidement devenir un casse-tête.Dans cet extrait, Geoffrey explique pourquoi les entreprises multiplient souvent les relations bancaires et l'importance de pouvoir consolider l'ensemble de sa trésorerie dans un seul tableau de bord, notamment lorsqu'on pilote plusieurs entités.Un enjeu clé pour garder de la visibilité, structurer ses finances et prendre de meilleures décisions, à découvrir dans l'épisode complet.

John Scotus Eriugena was one of the most radical thinkers of the early Middle Ages — a philosopher who fused eastern and western Christian theology with Neoplatonism to create a vision of God, nature, and creation centuries that is breathtaking and unique. In this episode, we explore his masterwork Periphyseon (On the Division of Nature), his controversial ideas on negative theology, and why the Church eventually condemned his work as heretical.Find me and my music here:https://linktr.ee/filipholmSupport Let's Talk Religion on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/letstalkreligion Or through a one-time donation: https://paypal.me/talkreligiondonateSources/Recommended Reading:Carabine, Deirdre (2000).

(Our favorite things about the Hickory Farm store in the DeSoto Square Mall were the strawberry candies and the frozen yogurt, and we will not be taking questions at this time.)Then we recap episode 20 (yes we know we said 19, we are bad with numbers) of the final season of Beastars where Legoshi is having the worst luck, and then talk a little about Better Call Saul and last weekend's GenCon (sorry you had to deal with a tornado, folks.

Look, we know this is a fantasy show, and it doesn't pay to look too closely into how a society of carnivores living side-by-side with potential food would actually work. But Bill the Tiger found a baby chick in his ramen, and him trying to raise it is like a high schooler trying to raise a baby that they found in their dinner, and it's actually a touching story that shows a new side of Bill's character, but we're sorry, that's weird.Also weird? HARU HAVING A DEATH WISH. That is all.San Diego Comic-Con and GalaxyCon Raleigh start this week, so both halves of the Binary System Podcast will be making an appearance!

One of the biggest comics announcements of San Diego Comic-Con was the reveal that Matthew Rosenberg will become the next ongoing writer of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and this week he's here for his first in-depth interview about the series. Rosenberg opens up about initially turning down the job before IDW came calling a second time, why his run is inspired by the raw energy of the original Mirage comics, and how he plans to put the turtles through a relentless fight across New York City. We also discuss his love of Eastman and Laird's work, collaborating with artist Juann Cabal, bringing forgotten characters back into the spotlight, and why this story will embrace every corner of TMNT history while carving out its own identity.

Those are some massive touchstones. What qualities from those stories became your creative north star for this new era of TMNT? Your story begins immediately after Gene Luen Yang's "The City That Never Dies" storyline, which sounds like it leaves the city fundamentally changed. How did Gene Luen Yang's finale create opportunities that wouldn't have existed otherwise? One of the biggest hooks is that the Turtles are being hunted over the course of a single night. What made that compressed timeline appealing, and how does it change the pacing compared to a more traditional TMNT story? You said the team hunting the Turtles is assembled specifically for this mission. Without spoiling who's involved, what makes this group uniquely equipped to challenge all four brothers at once? 10:59 Juann Cabal has shown he can handle kinetic action and expressive character work across Marvel and DC. What is it about his storytelling you're excited to see in TMNT?  You've mentioned your love for Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird's Mirage Studios era. Were there specific themes or storytelling techniques from those early comics that you wanted to bring back for modern readers? Your comics often balance brutal action with sharp humor and strong character voices. How do you approach writing the Turtles so each brother feels distinct, especially when they're under constant pressure? You've written everything from street-level crime stories to huge superhero events. Where does TMNT fit creatively for you, and does it scratch a different storytelling itch than books like What's the Furthest Place From Here? or your Marvel work? You're taking over with issue #25, which already feels like a milestone. Looking ahead, what do you hope readers say about your TMNT run after they've finished that first story arc?

We sat down with Laird Scranton and John Anthony West at John's home to talk about a whole array of things, starting with what started them on their paths of research, moving into some concepts of reality, Egypt (of course), lost civilizations, and much more. We also discuss the latest incident with Graham Hancock and Zahi Hawass, which if you missed it, Graham recaps here. Laird also drops some bombshells about his upcoming work near the end. We are very grateful to have been able to sit down with both of them, and for John's extensive hospitality. It really was an honor to be able to sit and pick their brains for a few hours.

But there wasn't a new episode posted, because Welcome to Night Vale is on hiatus in July. Welcome to Night Vale is always on hiatus in July. Twelve years on and you'd think we'd remember that...So instead we've got a recap of season 3 episode 16 of Beastars (oh the angst, oh the unconvincing bait-and-switch from the end of episode 15...), and Elizabeth finally watched Godzilla Minus One so we need to talk about that. Elizabeth also has a lot of fun tidbits of information about The Amazing Digital Circus to discuss, because even the end of the series hasn't changed the fact that every bit of it has just eaten our brains.This episode's outro is a clip from Final Flight by Chronox.It can be really easy to slip into doom and despair at the state of the world right now, but there are things you can do to help.

Leigh Laird has been watching Marc Scott's documentary short videos on LinkedIn and wants to know everything - how he picks topics, how he writes scripts, how he produces the videos, and whether the strategy is actually working. In this Summer Series episode, Marc pulls back the curtain on the full DocuShort strategy - from the AI-assisted scripting process to the one-to-two hour production workflow, and all the ways a single short video gets repurposed into demos, casting site playlists, website pages, and GEO content. Inside this episode: How Marc identifies documentary topics by starting with the networks he wants to work with - and then using AI to generate ideas within those themes The full production setup - phone video, studio audio, Adobe Audition, Adobe Premiere, and Envato Marketplace stock footage Why Marc records himself on camera during every video - and how that one decision separates him from AI-generated content The honest answer on results - no documentary booking yet, but four direct invites and a booking on Voice123 this week alone How he cuts each DocuShort into 15 to 20 second clips for casting site playlists, giving him dozens of new SEO opportunities per video Why he builds a dedicated website page for every video he creates - and how that is starting to show up in AI search results The 40-second average view time that proves people are watching his short content all the way through - and what he does in the first three seconds to make that happen Why Instagram is currently outperforming every other platform - including the video that just crossed 40,000 views after a year of consistent posting Whether you're targeting documentary narration or a completely different genre, this episode gives you a clear and practical framework for turning one piece of content into a full marketing strategy.

Sorare might have finally cracked the code on how to build a perfect progression path for players. In today's episode, Laird breaks down the new ecosystem journey.We're mapping out exactly how the game flows now:• Sorare Set: The F2P onboarding (with a P2W twist).• Pro (Hot Streaks): The PvE gateway using Limiteds, where adding Rares can supercharge your rewards.• The PvP Jump: Taking those Rares into the ultimate leaderboard grind for massive prizes.• The Apex: Scaling up to Super Rare and Unique for the biggest rewards in the game.

This episode originally broadcast on June 25, 2026. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2026/06/binary-system-podcast-512-the-amazing-digital-circus-the-last-act-with-all-the-spoilers/It's been a wild ride for the Binary System Podcast team as we binged The Amazing Digital Circus over the last two and a half months. Kudos to everyone who's been following this absolutely stunning animated series for, what, two and a half years? I think everyone can agree that the final episode was worth the wait, even if it broke our hearts at least once.Spoliers ahoy as we recap the series finale and occasionally get sidetracked by Swamp Thing, the correct use of pronouns, and Indie animators helping other indie animators. This episode's outro is a clip from Circus by Six Umbrellas.Correction: Elizabeth says the live action actors we see in the post-credit scene are the voice actors. That's incorrect, there were different actors for the vocal parts and the visual parts.Correction the second: Elizabeth should also know better than to contradict Kathryn because Kathryn was right: when Gangle walks past Zooble she grabs Zooble's hand, not the other way around.Check out the very sweet thank-you video by TADC voice actors here.It can be really easy to slip into doom and despair at the state of the world right now, but there are things you can do to help.

"Self-Made" success is now an American badge of honor that rewards individualist ambitions while it hammers against community obligations. Yet, four centuries ago, our foundational stories actually disparaged ambitious upstarts as dangerous and selfish threats to a healthy society. In Pamela Walker Laird's fascinating history of why and how storytellers forged this American myth, she reveals how the goals for self-improvement evolved from serving the community to supporting individualist dreams of wealth and esteem. Simplistic stories of self-made success and failure emerged that disregarded people's advantages and disadvantages and fostered inequality. Fortunately, Self-Made also recovers long-standing, alternative traditions of self-improvement to serve the common good. These challenges to the myth have offered inspiration, often coming, surprisingly, from Americans associated with self-made success, such as Benjamin Franklin, Frederick Douglass, and Horatio Alger. Here are real stories that show that no one lives – no one succeeds or fails – in a vacuum. Pamela Walker Laird is Professor Emerita of History at the University of Colorado Denver. Laird's publications include her newest book, Self-Made: The Stories that Forged an American Myth (Cambridge University Press, 2025); Pull: Networking and Success Since Benjamin Franklin (Harvard University Press, 2006), which won the 2006 Hagley Prize for the best book in business history and is available in Chinese; and Advertising Progress: American Business and the Rise of Consumer Marketing (Johns Hopkins University Press, 1998), a Choice Outstanding Academic Book. Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand. His research interests are Cultural Studies; Critical Theory; Environmental History; Medieval (Intellectual) History; Gothic Studies; 18th and 19th Century British Literature.
