Key Topics: Why the college essay is one of the few places students can show who they are beyond grades, scores, and activities The connection between storytelling, listening, and authentic self-reflection How to think about family, adversity, mental health, and other sensitive topics in admissions essays What the Additional Information section is really for — and the mistakes students make when using it The difference between Common App essays, UC personal insight questions, and UCAS personal statements Why students should stop obsessing over the perfect hook and focus on telling a compelling story first How to approach "Why This College?" essays in a way that feels genuine rather than formulaic Guest: Charles Loxton is the Chief Communications Officer at Advantage Testing and has spent more than two decades helping students develop compelling application essays and personal narratives.

What does it look like when fifth-generation farming meets modern food entrepreneurship? For Sue Heward of Singing Magpie Produce in Monash, South Australia, it looks like sun-dried Smyrna quinces, semi-dried black and white figs, vine-ripened Shiraz grapes dried on the vine, and artisan gift boxes that tell the full story of the Riverland. In this rich, grounded conversation recorded on the Heward family orchard, Tawnya Bahr sits down with Sue and her father Frank - a man who has farmed this property for over 60 years - to trace 105 years of family growing history, the birth of Sue’s business, Singing Magpie Produce nearly a decade ago, and the hard-won lessons of building a value-added food brand from the ground up. What You'll Hear in This Episode 105 years on the land - Frank traces the Heward family's growing history from the original quince trees to today's pecans, figs, quinces and grapes The fruit fly reality - How Queensland fruit fly regulations have reshaped what the Hewards can sell fresh, pushing them further into value-adding and manufacturing supply for Maggie Beer and Beerenberg The grape glut crisis - With Riverland winegrapes unwanted by the market, Frank explains how Sue turned the problem into "Dad's Vine Ripened Shiraz" - sun-dried Shiraz with a flavour that tastes like eating wine How Singing Magpie began - Sue returned from 16 years in Melbourne, swapped a career in health prevention for commercial cookery, and spent her first year back picking figs and figuring out her next act The first product and a Champion Award - Starting with 50 kilos of preservative-free, semi-sun-dried black figs sold on Facebook, the brand grew fast. The Smyrna sun-dried quince - made from her mother's recipe - won Champion at Sydney Royal Fine Foods in its first year The sticky quince syrup - A zero-waste product born from the poaching liquid; reduced for seven hours until it's sweet, tart and just on the edge of caramelised. Works with cheese, duck, lamb and dessert equally The full product range - From sun-dried mangoes to persimmons, jujubes from Black Sheep Produce in Loxton, locally sourced Medjool dates, and Solomon Gold vegan chocolate hand-tempered in the Riverland The spectacular diced fruit mix - Deliberately sultana-free; packed with black and white figs, peaches, pears, apricots and candied lemon (the very same lemon used in the quince cooking process, wasted by no one) Breast cancer and the business - Sue shares how a diagnosis at 50, followed by five months of chemotherapy, forced her to step back from the day-to-day - and accidentally prompted the team expansion and systems thinking that made the business stronger Tasting Australia 2026 - A marquee event for 50-60 guests on the quince orchard, in collaboration with Temperance Restaurant and Hotel Renmark, in 65mm of unexpected Riverland rain.

0:49: Yes, yes. 0:50: What is Etsy? 0:51: I just got back into cute little, my sister gets me into it. 0:54: She always gets such cute little homemade gifts. 0:56: Well, I bought a 1950s ball gown to wear to a charity thing of course you did, even though you have 700 ball gowns 70 years. 1:03: I'm the ambassador. 1:04: Anyway, let's not talk about fashion. 1:05: Kelly, do you want to start with your spending or your saving? 1:08: Well, I'm wearing both on my face. 1:10: Oh. 1:12: Let's start with Spy. 1:15: Spendy, Spy. 1:18: This is the Smashbox lit sticks, it's called a blush lighter. 1:25: Now, I, you know, any long-term youbie will know that I love to mix like a cream blush with a cream highlighter on the back of my hand or on my cheek and then blend it in together just so I've got like that. 1:37: Luminescent glow from within. 1:40: This is a two in one product. 1:42: That's clever. 1:43: So you know what, it's my spendy, but it's two products. 1:46: Can I ask, so is it like really balmy and juicy and OK, but it does it come in other colors? 1:51: Yes, OK, this is the shade, there's 4 colors, I think scary red. 1:55: It's not, it's called sunset. 1:59: wait till you see how pretty it is. 2:00: Oh gosh, it's nothing like that, I mean. 2:03: That is amazing. 2:04: Isn't it beautiful? 2:04: It's like this beautiful peachy pink with the most pretty grown-up luminescence in it. 2:10: It doesn't have glitter or shimmer, it's just, and it's in a, you know, a chubby bullet, like it looks a lot from like here from the Mecca Max, you know, color bullets, those very standard sort of wind up big, big crayon, but it's, it's a beautiful, like the outside, it looks very quite dark burgundy bricky, but that's amazing inside, so don't. 2:28: Judge a shade by its packaging. 2:30: Exactly, it's just so pretty and that's a universal like that would look good on everyone. 2:34: And that's you could be the, you could have the fairer skin, the deeper skin, that would look beautiful on you. 2:41: $41 and like I just, well it's expensive like given that you could get one probably for $12. 2:48: That's a 2 in one though. 2:49: Also, I, I've been using a bronzer stick exact same shape from a pharmacy brand, it's $40. 2:54: Oh, see that's a little bit ridiculous. 2:56: Everything is now Kelly. 2:58: Back in my day, at least we know that we're gonna pay the exact amount for a brand like Smashbox, rather like, will I get it on sale or won't I get it on sale? 3:06: That's true. 3:07: I got it from Mecca, $41 available in-store online, lit sticks. 3:11: One last question before I get my go, does it stay, do you set, are you a touch? 3:17: I set my blush because blu well if I want it to last all day, blush is the one product I would say that you, it, it fades so much and that's often matte and you then that's not kind of what you want, right? 3:30: Yeah, cos then it just looks like you've got clown face on like that's how I felt about the rare beauty. 3:35: I mean it looked beautiful but you didn't have any working time. 3:37: No, yeah, you don't, this, you've got a lot of working time. 3:40: That's often why if you and I do an early morning record, you are always like about how much blush I've got on, because I know by the end of the day it's going to be an average looking cause it fades. 3:52: So the way you look at 5 p.m. is the most important. 3:54: I'm only joking 100%. 3:56: blush I also would rather have more is more than less is less, so I absolutely love it. 4:02: It's really impressed me. 4:03: I love something a little bit different as well, even though I get excited by blushes in general. 4:07: I just thought that's a lot of fun. 4:08: I'm getting one. 4:09: So my spendy is sort of new but sort of not. 4:12: It's existed overseas for a really long time, and if anyone knows the dermatologist and hair expert, Doctor Leona Yip, can't say I do. 4:20: Oh my God, she's phenomenal. 4:21: I like her name though. 4:22: Yeah, so Doctor Leona Yip, she, there's some exciting content coming up with her that I don't think I'm allowed to tell you about, but anyway, interviewed her recently, then saw her at an event, and we were chatting away and she was telling me about this hairbrush she's working with to bring to Australia. 4:34: And I was like, oh I was thinking, oh great, another bloody hairbrush. 4:37: You know we've got Mason Pearson, we've got those happy brushes that I really like. 4:40: I've got a tangle teaser. 4:41: Yes, me too. 4:43: Anyway, check this out. 4:44: My whole family is fighting over this hairbrush. 4:47: Why? 4:48: It's $185. 4:50: Let me, I'm gonna have to read you the information because it's too scientific for me. 4:54: May I brush it through my hair, please, Kelly, I tried to take my hair out of it. 4:57: I wasn't sure if you would let me. 4:58: Oh my God, no, I'm a sharer, you know that. 5:00: Whoa, OK, so it's called the SB 572 hair and scalp brush. 5:04: Yes, please brush while I go. 5:06: $185. 5:07: It's handcrafted by master artisans in Osaka. 5:11: It's patented, so it's literally, she's given me the patent number. 5:14: I don't know if that's important. 5:15: And it reaches deep into the scalp's pores where your fingers can't or other brushes. 5:19: It feels like someone's scratching my head. 5:22: I love it. 5:22: So keep in mind she's a full-blown doctor, she would not, you know, import or partner with or endorse anything. 5:28: It's got 572 pins, and the multi-level pin structure uses 3 distinct nylon strengths to mimic a rhythmic professional massage. 5:35: It has deep pore precision that lifts the way it kind of gets in there, I don't know, it does though, trust me. 5:41: Like, how good is my hair looking? 5:42: Lifts hidden impurities and excess sebum, and the patented contour fit is a scalp hugging design that ensures contact with every angle that will gently stimulate microcirculation, warming the scalp by 2% to nourish hair roots. 5:57: Lastly, it improves scalp, elasticity and tone, creating the ideal environment for hair growth. 6:02: So obviously she's a doctor and she's not gonna sit there and say, brush your hair with this and your hair will grow faster, but it is the most sort of scientific, You know, get in there, get the angles right, are you OK? 6:14: It's like you went to sleep. 6:15: No, I'm waiting to ask you a question. 6:18: Does my hair look a little bit greasy after I just brushed it? 6:21: Well, no, but you've flattened it a lot. 6:24: I feel like, I don't know what sort of magic, but you know how you said it like goes into your pores. 6:28: Oh yeah, I mean I feel like it just like got all of the grease and oil out of my pores and rubbed it through my hair, not in a bad way, although I think definitely lifting like yours, so yeah, so sorry. 6:39: No, it's fine. 6:40: I love you back you hold on to it for now. 6:42: Keep in mind she's a dermatologist, so she's there about scalp health, so it's gonna lift the impurities, the dead cells, it's gonna stimulate circulation, it increases, you know, the temperature of your scalp with the circulation. 6:52: Your hair looks great. 6:53: I mean, no, we need to fix it. 6:54: You fixed it. 6:55: Have I fixed it, or is it still sitting flat on my head? 6:57: No, now it's very nice. 6:59: It's very, very good. 7:00: Are you being sarcastic? 7:01: No, you just like you can just go like that and you have so much volume. 7:04: People will be jealous. 7:05: It's fried. 7:05: I've got it about maybe. 7:07: Two weeks ago, I, look, you know me, there's probably 18 hairbrushes in each room of my house. 7:12: Everywhere I go, I'm like, Where's the gold one? 7:13: Where's the gold one? 7:14: Alex had it under his bed. 7:15: Of course he did, because it feels so good. 7:17: OK, I'm desperate to get one of those. 7:19: It feels so so good. 7:20: It doesn't feel too firm. 7:22: She said, use it in the shower if you like with conditioner, use it at the end with styling if you want to do that, just use it to brush your hair. 7:28: She said post bath, but I think that just means like out of the shower maybe. 7:31: It's phenomenal. 7:32: I love it. 7:33: That is such a good spend. 7:34: I would, I would spend 185 again and again on that. 7:37: Well, especially if you don't have 12 brushes in each room. 7:40: Well, they're all like Lady Jane when they're on sale, and I think, oh, I've lost mine, and then I'd take it home to join its friends. 7:45: What's your savy? 7:46: Rummage, rummage, rummage. 7:47: It's what I've got on my lips. 7:48: It is the L'Oreal. 7:51: Hyaluron tint lip stain serum. 7:54: I picked this up for 20 bucks the other day at Chemist Warehouse and it's just say like, I do not like when they do the tape and then you can't get it off, like yuck, cos then it's sticky every time you touch it. 8:07: That when I become the boss of the world, I'm gonna make that illegal, like to do that. 8:10: I'll put it on so you can see, it goes on really glossy. 8:12: It looks quite pigmented if that's all you've got on your lips. 8:14: That's all I've got on my lips, so it dries down to a tint that then stays on for a few hours. 8:18: It's really, really beautiful. 8:20: But does it stay glossy, cause your lips still look quite glossy. 8:23: Did you put something on top or she can't talk. 8:25: Really? 8:26: Well, whenever you put that on this morning, your lips were still glo I probably put it on not that long ago, but does it look pretty, or did I just ruin it? 8:34: No, you're very good at doing it. 8:35: So I chose the shade 420, but it's a red tint, an apple red tint. 8:40: I think if you're 420 across L'Oreal's lip colors, that's your red that's OK, then you get your matte or your whatever. 8:46: I. 8:47: Really love how juicy and apply the color is. 8:51: It's so good. 8:51: But then it just dries down and it's just so easy to wear and because I guess it's that serumy texture, it doesn't dry down and feel like I've got nothing on my lips or I've got texture on my lips, like it does feel like I've got a balm still. 9:03: OK, but does that make it stayed good, that's a very good hybrid, but now it feels dry. 9:08: Oh, but you're still so shiny, so shiny. 9:11: Oh, OK, I'm, I'm getting that in nude, of course. 9:14: Yes, yeah, there was heaps of nudes or like nice soft pinks and that sort of thing. 9:17: I just, you know, chose the, the frothing your lips. 9:22: I went to Kmart the other week, looked for you everywhere. 9:25: Whereas, I wasn't there. 9:26: Alas, I was picking up my $3 tassel bag. 9:28: 00, is that from Kmart? 9:30: Yeah, oh, we'll talk about that later. 9:32: OK, so She Glam is now stocked at Kmart. 9:35: I've never tried anything from there. 9:37: Get around it. 9:38: You've recommended something from there. 9:39: Yes, I used to order it from either Amazon or, I mean, it's in a lot of stores here now, but I was getting my old trusty eyebrow pencil from one of the other affordable brands, and there was a whole new section. 9:49: Oh damn, I was supposed to trick you and see what you thought brand this was cause I think it looks fancy. 9:53: So it's the She Glam Daydreamer mini palette, and the shades I've got is Cloudy Sunday, $12. 10:00: Don't you think that looks really fancy and expensive, like packaging? 10:03: It, yeah, it does. 10:05: No, but I, you know me, I just am not a cool-toned gal. 10:09: Wait, is that eyeshadow or eyebrow? 10:10: Eyesshadow. 10:11: What do you mean cool tone, that's brown. 10:13: Yeah, but it's a cool tone, they're cool toned browns. 10:15: OK, you can go and get your own colors, but I'm just saying, does the palette look palette. 10:20: It does, and I mean like $12 come on. 10:23: I know, I bought so much stuff. 10:24: I'm really interested in that shimmer. 10:26: Oh, good girl, good girl. 10:27: Oh, the pigment's phenomenal. 10:28: She claimed pigment. 10:29: I mean, I should get you to do the pigment test. 10:31: No, I just used that on my lash line earlier today, and then that's for my crease and stuff. 10:36: I actually bought like 3, that's why I haven't used this one as much. 10:38: Would you like to try it? 10:39: Sure. 10:39: There's a whole bunch of stuff. 10:41: Like from She Glam. 10:41: Their lip category is massive. 10:44: Not as big in eye, but I absolutely love this because I always want just something little. 10:49: Kelly has palettes that have 17,000 eyeshadows in them. 10:52: I get palettes that I use one or two. 10:54: Kelly's doing some swatches for us, right? 10:56: $12. 10:57: Pretty good. 10:57: And then they have bigger ones with 6 and 8 and, you know, huge ones, but I just love the Portability of that, so head to Kmart because you need another excuse, and look for me there because I am probably going to be there always do, although we don't live anywhere near each other, but it's me, I'm always at all, everywhere in Sydney. 11:15: Yeah, I thought you were, so that's my savy and I'm gonna go back and get a lot more. 11:19: After the break, I've got a newbie that Leigh was like, oh, Kel's gonna wanna scream about this from the rooftops when she can. 11:26: I kindly gave it to you. 11:33: Hey newbie, so anything new? 11:35: What's new? 11:37: OK, so go on, the newbie. 11:40: Well, it's actually not new, but she's had a glow up. 11:42: So the Loxitan Armand, the almond range, so those beautiful body products that all newbies know and love, it's had a bit of a glow up, so it's the exact same formula, the exact same price, but she's had an outfit change and it is just so luxe. 12:00: I bought in the old packaging and then I bought in the new packaging. 12:02: Oh my gosh, that is very good. 12:03: They also. 12:04: did bring out the mist as an actual standalone product, so a couple of years ago at Christmas they bought it out as a limited edition, or maybe it was after Christmas, I don't know when it was, but they brought it out and it was like literally here until it all sold out, but obviously people wanted it so much that it's kind of a new product it's just got that beautiful warm almond. 12:28: Yes, would you like to, I've got it at home, but I don't remember it. 12:31: Look at the Luxe bottle. 12:32: We went to the event together a couple of weeks ago and I was like, no one really said the mist was new, what was going on. 12:37: Everyone's misting themselves, and I'm like, how did I not know there was a mist? 12:39: I thought, bad girl, don't do her job well. 12:41: But that makes sense, and I've been using the mist every single day. 12:44: Yeah, it's so beautiful. 12:45: It's like that really just when you want something light and fresh. 12:49: Well, it's like the shower oil, but you don't have to have a shower. 12:52: Exactly. 12:52: Like that way that it, it just covers and envelopes you in that beautiful just like warm smell. 12:59: I hate the term envelope enveloping in in terms of beauty, but you can't like that brand and that product owns it because it really does like wrap you up in it. 13:07: It does and it like cocoons you with all of your senses. 13:10: OK, so I brought in the supple skin oil. 13:12: I love this product as a good example. 13:14: So this is the old packaging. 13:16: So I mean, lovely, nice, lovely. 13:19: Well you and I both at first were like oh don't change anything. 13:21: I know, well, at first I didn't like it. 13:23: Amy Clark sent me a photo. 13:24: I think it was just a bad photo. 13:25: I was like, ooh, I don't like it. 13:27: But I just think that I resist change sometimes to begin with and then I jump on board, especially once I found out they weren't changing the formula. 13:34: So and then this is the pretty bottle, 200 mLs. 13:38: That's the old one. 13:39: Look at the new one. 13:41: Like, hello, you just grew up, you had an upgrade. 13:46: It's the exact same 100 mL, not 200 mLs. 13:50: Look at that, like, firstly, the box, what a glow up. 13:55: Secondly, the actual bottle. 13:57: You've had a glow up doll. 13:58: Yeah, she really has. 14:00: Oh, I love them both equally, that's because I grew up with that one. 14:02: That's because you like that one looks like a luxury. 14:07: I mean, listen, yeah, you're right, there's nothing wrong with that, but that looks primo, it looks luxe, and given that lux stunt, especially the almond range is a gifting, it's like perfect for gifting either for yourself or for someone else. 14:21: Like having something that just looks that beautiful and lux. 14:24: However, like that, the almond shower oil is Australia's biggest selling shower body wash, shower oil. 14:31: It blows my mind that brands go, wow, this is phenomenal, let's tweak it, like not the, the formula, but like it would have kept selling anyway, so I love that they bother to go, hang on, no, let's modernize the packaging. 14:40: Yeah, they're like. 14:41: Selling one of these every how many seconds, we're making enough money from them, from it, but why not? 14:46: Because she deserves to have a glow, we all do. 14:48: We all deserve a new outfit, a new wardrobe. 14:52: If you love the Loxton almond range, most people do, go and check out the new packaging. 14:57: It just, it's really leveled up. 14:59: And the brand new mist. 15:01: That is here to stay. 15:02: Oh my God, the mist is great. 15:03: My husband's always like, Oh, I haven't got any more of that body wash out, and I'm like, No, mate, it's at the shops. 15:08: Yeah, go and purchase it if you would like it so much. 15:10: I'm not a shop. 15:11: I'm not a shop. 15:12: OK, my newbie is actually 19 newbies. 15:15: OK, great. 15:15: I'm gonna put this to the side because this is a big deal. 15:18: We're not gonna play with all of them, but do you remember, well, very recently. 15:22: The viral all over the world, Rimmel cappuccino lip liner, it just went absolutely everywhere. 15:28: No, oh my God, but you love brown, oh, do you love brown?

Hello book lovers

As we reset for 2025, many are feeling the weight of a brutal 2024. And to be completely honest — when you're staring down a decile one year, it's hard to know where to start.     How do you budget with confidence? How do you front up to your bank when the season doesn't go your way?    So here is the truth: waiting it out isn't a strategy. Hope isn't a business plan. And if you want to lead your business forward, now is the time to level up how you turn up.    In this episode, I am joined again by Jeff McDonald, Founder & Director of RLS Agribusiness.     Born and bred on an irrigation property in Loxton, SA, Jeff stepped off the farm and into finance, spending 20 years inside a major bank before founding Riverland Lending Services.     Today, Jeff leads one of the largest Agri-finance brokerages in the country. His team settles over $200 million in Agri finance each year, and through RLS Agribusiness, he advises farm businesses on everything from strategy and succession to governance and growth.    Jeff has worked with hundreds of producers, and his insight is gold because it's built on experience and not theory. He knows what banks are really looking for and how the best operators are preparing — strategically, financially, and emotionally — for what's next.    This episode is not about hype. It's about truth. It's about acumen. And it's about how we all step forward, more commercially aware, more proactive, and more in control.    So, here's your call to action:    If you've been flying under the radar... waiting to see how it all plays out... hoping the bank gives you another run  - I hope this episode provides insight into how to take a hard look at your business, forecast with clarity and lead with courage.    Sincerely,   Jeremy Hutchings and the Farm Owners Academy Team    P.S.

Proactive's Tylah Tully breaks down ‘Just the Facts' of the latest news from Lithium Universe Ltd (ASX:LU7, OTC:LUVSF). The company is on schedule to release the definitive feasibility study (DFS) for its Bécancour Lithium Refinery in Quebec, Canada, next quarter. The project has progressed smoothly and cost-effectively, with 80% of supplier pricing finalised and procurement strategies nearing completion. The capital cost estimate is expected to have an accuracy of ±20%. The DFS follows the completion of the preliminary feasibility study (PFS) in September 2024, conducted in collaboration with Hatch Ltd. John Loxton, head of Refinery at Lithium Universe, oversees the project. He brings experience from previous lithium processing projects, including the Jiangsu Lithium Carbonate Plant in China and Tianqi Lithium's hydroxide plant in Western Australia. Loxton highlighted the streamlined process, which leverages data from a reference plant, ensuring cost-efficiency and reducing the risk of overruns. The DFS will mark a critical milestone as the company progresses towards developing the Bécancour Lithium Refinery, with a focus on lithium carbonate production. #ProactiveInvetsors #LithiumUniverse #ASX #JusttheFacts #LithiumRefinery #BécancourProject #FeasibilityStudy #LithiumCarbonate #LithiumProcessing #QuebecMining #ASXListed #LithiumConversion #SustainableMining #HatchLtd #LithiumIndustry #GlobalMining #RefineryDevelopment #MiningProjects #EngineeringStudy #BatteryMetals #CostEffectiveMining #SupplierPricing #MiningMilestones

UFO researcher Jon Stewart revealed this week the probable location that the U.S. government at one time would transport extraterrestrial crash survivors to for study. The Majestic-12 Special Operations Manual - which was leaked to UFO researcher Don Berliner in 1994 - included the abbreviation BBS as the place MJ-12 teams would take living extraterrestrials that survived UFO crashes.

Many of our talented BuildHers have successfully completed owner builds using the blended builder method. And some have done so in collaboration with Loxton Built, a team of builders exceptional at creating collaborative experiences for those taking on home builds.   Today, I'm chatting with one of Loxton Built's directors, James Ind, who gives us some valuable insights on the blended builder model from the perspective of a builder.    While there are a lot of intricacies within a blended build, James believes that clear communication from start to finish is the most crucial aspect in ensuring a successful project. We discuss Loxton Built's objective to include clients in every step of the process, educate them so they're equipped for their next project and foster a collaborative partnership. And judging by the raving reviews we hear from our BuildHer community, it's an approach that leads to excellent results and very happy clients!   With a full owner build being a complex undertaking, James reminds us that it's key for their clients to have sound knowledge and experience in the building process. This allows Loxton Built to collaborate with clients efficiently on aspects such as designs, materials and finishes and procurement plans. However, he believes the blended build method can still work for those with less experience looking to take on smaller renovations on their homes.    For Loxton Built, they've built a circle of trusted trades over the years that they prefer to work with on all their projects. While this ensures quality control, there's a common scenario of owner builders wanting to bring in their own trades. We talk about the liability homeowners should take into consideration when taking the risk on an external trade. ] With their focus on transparency and a desire to arm clients with the knowledge they need to excel, it's no wonder Loxton Built are becoming the go-to team for our BuildHers. If you're looking to explore the idea of a blended build, this episode is packed with some really useful insights you can take away as you begin your own home build journey.   Enjoy!    LINKS:   Connect with Loxton Built: https://www.loxtonbuilt.com.au/  Buy our book: BuildHer, A practical guide to building and renovating BuildHer Website: https://buildhercollective.com.au/ BuildHer Instagram: @buildhercollective BuildHer Facebook: Women who Design, Decorate, Renovate & Build Register for a call: https://go.oncehub.com/BuildHerSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

First, Ben and Celestia have several tidbits to discuss, from Micheal Mann's court win to chemtrails popping up in social media.

For our main segment, we are joined by the delightful Daniel Loxton, illustrator, author, editor and longtime skeptic luminary.

This leads us into a conversation on the nature of skepticism itself, and where our future lies.

Hello and welcome back! In this special sneak peek into our Patreon episodes, we hop across the pond to the village of Loxton, Somerset, England in the 1950's. In the early morning hours of September 1, 1954, the peaceful village near the sea would be flipped on its head when the news broke about a terrible murder. Noreen O'Connor, a 46-year-old nurse and caretaker notorious for her giving and loving demeanor committed a most heinous act against her elderly, bedridden friend, Marie Buls. An act so vile that the area hasn't seen anything quite like it, before or since. But what would cause a kind, gentle woman to snap and commit the ultimate crime? Noreen insisted that she wasn't killing Marie, but rather that she was killing the evil inside of her. Hang on for this one.

EasyCrypto's chief executive Earle Loxton offers a bullish view on where the Bitcoin price is heading over the next year, basing his analysis on the historical trend of price surges every four years as new coins are added to the market. His thesis stems from the belief that during these intervals, the number of fresh Bitcoin created halves with each four-year cycle - reminding investors of the hard supply cap, and thus encouraging accumulation. Fascinating insights on a market whose extreme volatility confuses its supporters and critics. - Alec Hogg

After making the 50-mile journey to the cottage in the Somerset village of Loxton, Peter found Noreen reclining on a sofa in the sitting room. When he asked her what had happened, she began rambling incoherently for almost 45 minutes. Eventually, Noreen told him that she had seen an evil look in Marie's eyes, and said, “There was one moment when the look became so strong and the evil in the eye so strong that I plucked them out”. Peter was stunned and asked if Marie was dead; Noreen replied, “It is not Marie that is dead. It is the evil that was in her”...*** LISTENER CAUTION IS ADVISED *** This episode was researched and written by Eileen Macfarlane.Script editing, additional writing, illustrations and production direction by Rosanna FittonNarration, editing, additional writing, and production direction by Benjamin Fitton.Listen to our companion podcast ‘They Walk Among America' here: https://play.acast.com/s/they-walk-among-americaBecome a ‘Patreon Producer' and get exclusive access to Season 1, early ad-free access to episodes, and your name in the podcast credits.

You've probably heard lots of yeti stories but often the ones that make it through the filter of newspapers, documentaries, and books shave off the weirdest (and sometimes most important) aspects of these tales. Can you really understand the Yeti if you don't even get the full story? We're joined by Eric Mortensen who relates some stories he's collected first-hand in his research and they will likely surprise you. From invisible cities to magic armpit stones, this isn't the yeti from MonsterQuest.  I wasn't sure how to write out some of the names Eric uses and here's some guidance he sent: "The creature's name, in Tibetan, is: nags myi rgod (Chinese: yeren). The local pronunciation (in Gyalthang) is close to: na nay gö. I hesitate to offer an "English" rendering (other than, perhaps, "wild people"), but if one had to phoneticize it, it might be something akin to: na-nay-gu (na nay gö is better). It is the same thing some folks render as: migö." and as for the Flying Yeti? Something like "Shershang dudu." Read more about Eric's work (and there's even a chapter by me!) in this volume: Eric D. Mortensen. "Of Monsters and Invisible Villages: Nags myi rgod Tales of the Tibetans of Gyalthang," in Natasha L. Mikles & Joseph P. Laycock, eds.
