Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: February, 2021Weird Darkness takes listeners inside the federal penitentiary on Alcatraz Island — what daily life was actually like behind its walls, the fourteen escape attempts that mostly ended in the San Francisco Bay, and a tour of American prisons whose conditions make the Rock look mild by comparison.It opens with the texture of everyday survival at Alcatraz, where the prison held roughly 330 men in cells measuring five feet by nine, and where food, clothing, shelter, and medical care were the only four rights an inmate had — everything else, from library access to a spot in the prison band, had to be earned. Warden James A. Johnston enforced a code of silence that lasted until 1937, so inmates like Jim Quillen talked through the pipes between cells, and Quillen described nineteen days in solitary as total silence and darkness. Al Capone begged his way into the Rock Islanders band and learned tenor guitar, tenor banjo, and mandola; Robert Stroud, the Birdman of Alcatraz, spent eleven of his seventeen years there in the hospital, studying law and languages. Prisoners were counted thirteen times a day, allowed a single two-page letter each week to a blood relative, and served food widely regarded as the best in the federal system — and still, by inmate Bryan Conway's account, fourteen of three hundred seventeen men went violently insane during his last year, one dock worker chopping off the fingers of his own left hand with an ax.From there, the episode turns to the men who tried to leave. Joseph "Dutch" Bowers became the first, shot off a fence on April 27th, 1936, while working the incinerator detail. Theodore Cole and Ralph Roe sawed through a window in the Model Industries Building and vanished into a storm-driven current in December 1937, their bodies never found. The 1938 breakout by James Limerick, Jimmy Lucas, and Rufus "Whitey" Franklin killed guard Royal C. Cline with a hammer; Arthur "Doc" Barker, son of Ma Barker, was shot in the head near the shoreline in January 1939. The May 1946 "Battle of Alcatraz" pulled in the Coast Guard and the Marines over two days and left guards William Miller and Harold Stites dead. And the most famous attempt of all came in June 1962, when Frank Morris and brothers John and Clarence Anglin chipped through their cell walls with spoons, left dummy heads made of soap and hair in their beds, and disappeared on a raft stitched from raincoats — three men the FBI never found.The episode closes by leaving Alcatraz behind for prisons still standing. ADX Florence in Colorado, the "Alcatraz of the Rockies," holds inmates like Ted Kaczynski and Ramzi Yousef in seventy-five-square-foot concrete cells for twenty-three hours a day. At the Polunsky Unit in Livingston, Texas, an inmate named Andre Thomas removed his own eye. Sheriff Joe Arpaio's Maricopa County Tent City Jail in Phoenix housed people outdoors in the Arizona heat until it was dismantled in 2017. Orleans Parish Prison in New Orleans has stood on the same ground for three hundred years, first used to hold enslaved people who tried to escape. San Quentin, built in 1852 and once home to Charles Manson and Richard Ramirez, drew a court-appointed report describing a facility so old, dirty, and overcrowded that housing people there was called dangerous.

Five men served on the Continental Congress's Declaration Committee. We know three of them well: Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, and Benjamin Franklin. But who were the other two? In this episode, we explore the lives and contributions of Robert R. Livingston of New York and Roger Sherman of Connecticut. Historians Geoff Benton and Michael Morand join us as we uncover the stories of the other Committee members.

HBO and Larry David are back in business with another pursuit of enthusiasm. Produced by Barack and Michelle Obama's Higher Ground and co-created by David's longtime collaborator Jeff Schaffer, Life, Larry, and the Pursuit of Unhappiness: An Almost History of America is not only a mouthful, but arrives on the precipice of the U.S. 250th anniversary.On the podcast, we discuss the half-hour pilot, “Livingston,” which stitches together four sketches throughout time, all starring David as he embraces his trademark finicky personality, arguing everything from no sighing in public to the inconveniences of visiting a dead man's widow. We then run through our comparisons and determine whether this counts as sharp satire deserving of a spot on our best-of-2026 list.Tune in to hear our full breakdown and rating. Welcome to Today's Episode!

In episode 480 of F-Stop Collaborate and Listen, Matt Payne is joined by photographers Ben Maze and Murray Livingston, who share their journeys in landscape photography, growing up during the rise of social media and how it has influenced their artistic development for better and worse. The discussion covers their approach to intentional image-making, the importance of seeking inspiration beyond Instagram and learning from photographic history, and how they balance the pressure to produce with the creative rewards of slowing down. They explore the realities of building sustainable careers through education and workshops, especially running workshops in Scotland together, and reflect on the challenges and benefits of being younger professionals in the field. Throughout, they emphasize maintaining authenticity amidst commercial and algorithmic pressures, advocating for deep engagement with nature and diverse artistic influences over chasing trends for quick attention.

Message from the Host:The trail doesn't always have to be rugged or remote to change your life. Sometimes it starts with a simple walk through a friendly campground and a conversation around a campfire. I'll see you on the next adventure. - JasonEpisode Description:In Part 2 of our conversation with Interpretive Ranger Eric from Lake Livingston State Park, we dive deeper into the experiences that make this East Texas destination such a special place for visitors of all ages.We explore everything the lake has to offer, from paddling, fishing, and camping to the unique ecosystem that thrives where water, forest, and wildlife come together. Eric shares what sets Lake Livingston apart from other Texas lakes, offers valuable safety tips for visitors heading out on the water, and explains why this park has become a favorite getaway for so many Texans.We also take a closer look at the park's wildlife, including some of the animals and plants that visitors often overlook, and hear stories from Eric's time helping people connect with nature through interpretive programs and outdoor education.Of course, no visit is complete without being prepared, so Eric discusses common mistakes visitors make, weather challenges unique to East Texas, and the simple steps that can make a day in the park safer and more enjoyable.As we wrap up the episode, we talk about why places like Lake Livingston State Park matter, what they mean to the communities they serve, and what Eric hopes every visitor takes home after spending time among the pines and along the shoreline.Whether you're planning a camping trip, looking for your next family adventure, or simply want to discover another incredible corner of Texas, this episode is packed with insight, stories, and inspiration to get outside and explore.Subscribe so you don't miss future episodes as we continue showcasing the people, parks, and stories that make Texas worth exploring.

In this episode of Inventive Journey, Devin Miller sits down with engineer and entrepreneur Brian Livingston to explore a career path that somehow connects Peanut Butter M&M's, billion-dollar industrial projects, Caterpillar, and diesel fuel innovation.Yes, really.Brian shares how his childhood obsession with taking things apart eventually evolved into a chemical engineering career that spanned General Foods, M&M Mars, NutraSweet, and Caterpillar. Along the way, he discovered that while engineering fascinated him, understanding people fascinated him even more.That insight ultimately shaped his leadership style and project management approach throughout his career.The conversation dives into Brian's early internships, corporate growth, and experiences navigating office politics, layoffs, international engineering projects, and large-scale operational leadership. One standout story involves his role helping manage a major project in France involving Japanese, American, and French stakeholders — an experience that earned him the nickname “the James Baker of project management.”And then there's the Peanut Butter M&M's story.Brian explains how his team helped develop the production process for one of the world's most recognizable candy products, instantly giving him one of the most entertaining engineering claims to fame imaginable.But the episode also explores much deeper entrepreneurial lessons.After nearly two decades at Caterpillar, Brian found himself unexpectedly transitioning into entrepreneurship during the COVID-era downsizing. Instead of fully retiring, he partnered with a former colleague to pursue a diesel fuel efficiency technology business focused on catalytic fuel processing systems that improve diesel combustion efficiency.Brian explains the science behind the technology, including how catalytic reactions help break longer diesel molecules into shorter chains that burn more efficiently. The result is improved fuel economy, lower emissions, and measurable operational savings for diesel-dependent industries.However, Brian quickly discovered that technical innovation alone is not enough.One of the biggest challenges became overcoming market skepticism. Many industrial buyers have encountered exaggerated fuel-saving claims in the past, forcing Brian to spend significant time educating prospects about the chemistry and physics behind the technology.The episode also includes candid discussions about startup mistakes and lessons learned.Brian openly shares how he lost approximately $45,000 early in the business by hiring an outsourced appointment-setting service that failed to deliver meaningful results. Rather than avoiding the topic, he uses the experience to emphasize the importance of learning your market personally before outsourcing critical growth functions.Throughout the discussion, Brian advocates becoming what he calls a “chicken entrepreneur” — someone who starts cautiously, validates demand, minimizes unnecessary risk, and avoids overextending financially during the early stages of business development.The conversation highlights the emotional transition from long-term corporate professional to entrepreneur, including the challenges of adapting to uncertainty, building credibility independently, and learning entirely new business skills later in life.This episode is packed with practical insights for engineers, inventors, startup founders, corporate professionals considering entrepreneurship, and anyone navigating major career transitions.You'll hear lessons on leadership, innovation, resilience, sales skepticism, project management, startup growth, and why curiosity may still be one of the most valuable traits in business.And yes, you'll probably crave Peanut Butter M&M's afterward.To chat about this one-on-one, grab a free consult at strategymeeting.com

Keith, Terry, and Jill discussed recent activities.

Send us a message!Catherine Theys, Ph.D., Professor at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand, joins host Sara MacIntyre, M.A., CCC-SLP, to discuss acquired stuttering, including both neurogenic stuttering and functional stuttering. Drawing on her clinical and research expertise, Dr. Theys provides an overview of acquired stuttering, different subtypes, and how it differs from developmental stuttering in terms of etiology, presentation, and experiences. The conversation explores assessment, differential diagnosis, and treatment considerations, including the unique challenges faced by individuals who develop stuttering later in life. Dr. Theys also shares insights from the research literature, highlighting the need for more systematic investigation in this area and discussing projects her lab is pursuing to advance our understanding of the neurobiological mechanisms underlying acquired stuttering and improve clinical assessment and intervention.

Dylan Livingston on Longevity Policy, Right to Try, and Scaling the Longevity Dividend Jason Wright interviews Dylan Livingston, founder of the Alliance for Longevity Initiatives (A4LI), about advancing longevity through policy rather than products. Livingston traces his interest from discovering Aubrey de Grey as a teen to COVID-era experiences with his grandfather, which renewed his focus and led him to launch A4LI in 2022 as a coalition of longevity biotech companies. He describes passing a California resolution prioritizing longevity and healthy aging, framing the goal as achieving a “longevity dividend” worth trillions through reduced healthcare costs and increased productivity, and argues therapeutics can democratize longevity more than intensive lifestyle protocols. They discuss Right to Try, its limits under terminal-only access and liability concerns, and A4LI's work expanding access in Montana and New Hampshire for Phase 1-safe therapies. Livingston highlights AI-driven acceleration in biotech, cellular reprogramming with Yamanaka factors, and previews A4LI's Georgetown DC summit featuring major companies, researchers, policymakers, and a Capitol Hill briefing on US-China biotech competition. 00:00 Cold Open Banter 01:05 Why Longevity Policy 02:17 Dylan Origin Story 05:39 Launching The Alliance 08:24 Sponsor Message 09:18 California Policy Playbook 10:49 Longevity Dividend Explained 12:39 Therapeutics As Equalizer 13:44 Moral Case For Healthspan 17:48 Right To Try Primer 21:17 Fixing Right To Try 22:23 Biotech Valley Of Death 25:22 AI And Medical Gatekeeping 26:01 AI Health Coach Teaser 26:35 Plan Aware Health Coaching 27:31 Longevity Goals And Motivation 29:38 AI Accelerating Biotech 32:10 Cell Reprogramming Breakthroughs 34:32 Aging As Root Cause Policy 37:10 Wellness Mindset And Agency 40:15 Prevention Limits And Lifelong Care 44:33 DC Summit Agenda Preview 46:24 Hill Briefing And Biotech Race 49:20 Wrap Up And Medical Disclaimer
