The weather has always been a critical element of the human experience - deadly during storms and droughts, sustaining when aligned with the harvest schedule, beautiful and frightening, and integrated into the myths and religions of all societies. How did a scientific understanding of the weather come about? Here to guide us on this question is Simon Winchester. Simon's articles and approximately 30 books range in topic from travel writing to politics, geography, biography, and science history. Simon is best known for his books The Professor and the Madman, The Men Who United the States, The Map That Changed the World, The Man Who Loved China, A Crack in the Edge of the World, and Krakatoa, all of which were New York Times bestsellers. In 2006, Simon was made an officer of the Order of the British Empire by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the II. Today we discuss Simon's new book about the weather entitled, The Breath of the Gods, published by HarperCollins.

Welcome to Episode 122 of The Metal Maniacs Podcast, hosted by Jay Ingersoll and Modd! This week is an extra special one, as we're joined by a lifelong friend and the man partly responsible for the very existence of this podcast: Dave Stark.For those who don't know the backstory — Dave played a crucial role in sparking Jay and Nick's (Modd's) passion for music. Without him, the two might never have picked up instruments, met, or started down the path that eventually led to creating this very show. In many ways, Dave is a foundational part of The Metal Maniacs story.Not only that, but Dave has been a die-hard Ozzy Osbourne fan for decades. In fact, he was the one who first took Jay to see Ozzy live back in 1995 — an experience that left a lifelong mark and set the stage for a deep love of heavy metal.In this episode, we sit down and dive into:The legacy of Ozzy Osbourne and why he remains one of the most important figures in metal historyOur personal stories and connections to Ozzy's music through the yearsThe guitarists and albums that shaped Ozzy's solo career and cemented his role as the “Prince of Darkness”Each of us choosing our Top 5 favorite Ozzy songs, breaking down why they matter and what makes them timeless classicsFrom early masterpieces like Blizzard of Ozz and Diary of a Madman, to later era gems like No More Tears and beyond, this conversation is both nostalgic and celebratory. Whether you're a casual fan or a die-hard Ozzy disciple, this episode will remind you just how much Ozzy has influenced generations of fans and musicians alike.Along the way, you'll hear stories about growing up with metal, how Ozzy concerts changed our lives, and why certain songs carry more weight than just riffs and lyrics — they become memories, moments, and the soundtrack to who we are.
Tune in this week to hear about the larger-than-life figure who shaped the course of history during the twilight years of Imperial Russia. From rubbing elbows with the social elite to serving as a trusted advisor to Russian nobility, Rasputin was an enigma. Fact or folklore, you decide as Tim shares stories about the man who was many things to many different people.
On August 4, 2023, Jean Butchart, a 26-year-old transgender man from Belleville, Michigan, was tragically murdered. Known for his love of nature, his passion for environmental education, and his dedication to uplifting transgender youth, Jean's life was a bright and promising one cut short by senseless violence.This episode, “A Madman's Mission”, explores the circumstances of Jean's murder, the systemic challenges facing transgender men, and the urgent need for visibility, justice, and accountability. From misgendering in early media reports to the erasure often faced by trans men in public discourse, Jean's story reflects a larger epidemic of anti-trans violence.Join us in honoring Jean's memory and amplifying the voices calling for protection, awareness, and equity for transgender individuals. Every life matters—Jean's too.

Devin & James are back in the Den, and they're handing out full-sized candy bars to all the trick or treaters! Friend of the show Casey O'Connor returns to help us celebrate Halloween with a discussion of 1980s stand-alone SLASHER MOVIES that never became sequels or franchises (sorry, Freddy, Jason, Michael, and Chucky). We start by getting aboard the TERROR TRAIN, followed by the weird as hell HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME. Next comes the slaughter fest that is PIECES (It's exactly what you think it is!). Then we retreat to the woods with THE BURNING and MADMAN. We discuss the underappreciated debauchery of THE PROWLER, and the surprising longevity of MY BLOODY VALENTINE. Next, we flash some devil horns at TRICK OR TREAT, a heavy metal masterpiece. We end the night with the brutal but unique INTRUDER. In between, we mention several more of our favorite Slashers, as well as some of the one-off hits that came along in the decades after this horror heyday of the 1980s. Please join us for our Slasher Party! We've got all the popcorn and chainsaws you'll need! HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
This time we maybe found The One. We tried Entenmann's Pumpkin Muffins, Tastykake pumpkin spice mini donut thingys, and Great Value Caramel Apple Coffee. Even though this is more of the Fall stuff, they're both extremely excited about this.Then, Matt goes off the deep end with a continuation of Urban Legend Fun Fact Nights. Our last full episode was the first one in that new little series. Matt covers a few instances of supposed time travel, starting with evidence in the South Fork Bridge photo, and then Mike "Madman" Marcum (which we promise is where the true crime comes in with alleged theft of large power transformers), and then finally (Editor Britte's long time favorite story) the time machine of John Titor.The Creeps also talk about getting shocked, kids asking why, Supernatural, Scooby toys, and the things you'll listen to for friends yet again somehow.

Another find during bedrest, I. Madman is a late eighties mild horror that fits the period and genre perfectly. A woman finds herself terrorized by a character from a strange book. Sounds pretty simple, and it is. The film overall is a fun watch. Inundated with late eighties filmmaking techniques and a fast-paced storyline, for the most part, there are some good lessons here. The writing could have used a go-over, the editing is not tight, but we do have some good lessons that can elevate your work. Not the least of which is; having a caped villain running through traffic is timeless and magical. Support the Podcast Visit our website

Welcome to The Chopping Block — where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. This week, Helius's Mert returns to defend Zcash's ~400% run and the “encrypted Bitcoin” framing, digging into anonymity sets, privacy UX, and why Bitcoiners are so riled up. We then tackle the Tempo bombshell — a ~$500M raise at a ~$5B pre, Stripe/Paradigm ties, Dankrad's move from the EF — alongside Péter Szilágyi's letter on EF culture and compensation: public goods priesthood vs. market incentives. Next up: Mert's “USD Manlet” rethink (why coordinating Solana around one stable is hard, and why pushing USDT to compete with USDC may be the sharper play) plus a gripe-fueled tour of today's DeFi trading UX. Finally, an AWS-outage autopsy: Coinbase downtime, Base sequencer hiccups, Infura/MetaMask ripple effects, and the case for multi-region/multi-cloud redundancy when real money — and sometimes safety — are on the line. And no, despite the memes, Mert is not launching a DEX.

QUOTES FOR REFLECTION The madman jumped into their midst and pierced them with his eyes.“Whither is God?” he cried; “I will tell you.We have killed him—you and I. All of us are his murderers.But how did we do this? How could we drink up the sea?Who gave us the sponge to wipe away the entire horizon?What were we doing when we unchained this earth from its sun?Whither is it moving now? Whither are we moving? Away from all suns?Are we not plunging continually?Backward, sideward, forward, in all directions? Is there still any up or down?Are we not straying, as through an infinite nothing? Do we not feel the breath of empty space?Has it not become colder? Is not night continually closing in on us?”~“The Parable of the Madman” by Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) “How much larger your life would be, if your self could become smaller in it.”~G.K. Chesterton (1874-1936), author and literary critic in Orthodoxy “For even creation reveals Him who formed it, and the very work made suggests Him who made it, and the world manifests Him who ordered it.”~Irenaeus (c.125-c.202), early church leader, in Against Heresies (II.9.1) “Beauty is truth, truth beauty,—that is allYe know on earth, and all ye need to know.” “A thing of beauty is a joy forever:Its loveliness increases; it will neverPass into nothingness; but still will keepA bower quiet for us, and a sleep…An endless fountain of immortal drink,Pouring unto us from the heaven's brink.”~John Keats (1795-1821) from “Ode to a Grecian Urn” and Endymion “Because the face of God is so lovely, my brothers and sisters, so beautiful, once you have seen it, nothing else can give you pleasure. It will give insatiable satisfaction of which we will never tire. We shall always be hungry and always have our fill.”~Augustine (354-430 A.D.), North African church leader and theologian “Glory is the beauty of God unveiled! Glory is the resplendent radiance of His power and His personality…. Glory is the external elegance of the internal excellencies of God. Glory is what you see and experience and feel when God goes public with His beauty!”~C. Samuel Storms (1951-present), theologian and authorSERMON PASSAGEPsalm 191 The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.2 Day to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge. Isaiah 6 1 In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple. 2 Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. 3 And one called to another and said:“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts;the whole earth is full of his glory!” John 1 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God…. 14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. John 12 41 Isaiah said these things because he saw [Jesus's] glory and spoke of him. 42 Nevertheless, many even of the authorities believed in him, but for fear of the Pharisees they did not confess it, so that they would not be put out of the synagogue; 43 for they loved the glory that comes from man more than the glory that comes from God. John 17 5 And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed….24 Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory that you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world.Leviticus 10 1 Now Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, each took his censer and put fire in it and laid incense on it and offered unauthorized fire before the Lord, which he had not commanded them. 2 And fire came out from before the Lord and consumed them, and they died before the Lord. 3 Then Moses said to Aaron, “This is what the Lord has said: ‘Among those who are near me I will be sanctified, and before all the people I will be glorified.'” And Aaron held his peace. 1 Corinthians 3 16 Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you? 17 If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him. For God's temple is holy, and you are that temple. Romans 118 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. 19 For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. 20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. 21 For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools, 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.

The death of Randy Rhoads during the tour for Diary of a Madman was a severe blow to Ozzy Osbourne, especially after the success of that album. Jack Blades replaced Rhoads on guitar for the live recording, Speak of the Devil, but it was Jake E. Lee that was brought in to be a permanent part of Ozzy's band for Bark at the Moon. However, behind the scenes, there was always Sharon, making sure her husband got all the credit and the band that did the heavy lifting got shafted. Despite this, the album still manage to do well and added a pop sheen to Ozzy's image.

Laugh and cuss along with CrabDiving radio podcast Friday!
The world is far more peculiar than most of us dare to admit. Somewhere between a demolition derby and a wrestling ring, between the crackle of VHS tapes and the shriek of late-night public access, lies a man who has turned mayhem into meaning. On today's episode, we welcome the unparalleled and unfiltered Mad Man Pondo, a professional wrestler and author whose life has been a whirlwind of body slams, topless TV hosts, and late-night green room oddities. With a voice still rough from last night's match, he guides us into a tale of chaos, tenacity, and triumph.Mad Man Pondo—real name Kevin Canady—is not merely a character in the ring. He is a living mosaic of outrageous stories and unshakable spirit.Raised in a reserved household, he found himself drawn to the fever-pitched passion of pro wrestling his grandparents once yelled at on their living room TV. That early spark lit a fire, and he never let it go out. As he says in this episode, “My mom still has the paper I filled out in grade school that said I wanted to be a professional wrestler.” That dream, written in crayon, would become a 30-year odyssey through blood, barbed wire, and blinding spotlights.The journey to the ring was not paved with ease. Pondo describes the brutal, often humiliating, early days of wrestling school—the beatings, the busted lips, the sheer will required to prove he belonged. He tells of how many walked away, unwilling to endure it, while he pressed on. That kind of devotion would become his defining trait. When the legendary Abdullah the Butcher told him he had the talent to wrestle in Japan, Pondo drove through the night, edited his best matches on two old VCRs, and mailed the tape by sunrise. The result? Forty-three trips to the Land of the Rising Sun.But Pondo's life wasn't confined to the ring. Ever curious, ever mischievous, he created “Skull Talk,” a public access show featuring wrestling commentary and, yes, topless women sitting on his lap.Equal parts performance art and rebellion, the show sandwiched between two church broadcasts caused outrage and fandom in equal measure. “One preacher would send me scripture every week,” he laughs. “But I knew he watched every episode.” This was Pondo in his purest form—pushing boundaries, dancing at the edge of decency, and always keeping his audience on their toes.What's perhaps most impressive is his ability to weave these escapades into something strangely noble. Whether talking about riding shotgun in a demolition derby car painted with horror icons or booking outrageous guests for the Jerry Springer Show, there's a heart beneath the madness. His creation of “Girl Fight,” an all-women's wrestling promotion, is a testament to his desire to give others a platform, to share the stage, to pass the torch. He's not just fighting for himself anymore—he's built a ring where others can rise too.And then there's the book, Memoirs of a Mad Man, a wild ride through his memories, filled with stories that make you laugh, cringe, and occasionally tear up. One story he held secret for decades—a deeply personal moment with wrestling legend Junkyard Dog—was finally shared in its pages. “I thought, you know what, let's put this in there,” he says. “It was time.” In telling that story, and many others, he transformed scars into stories and chaos into legacy.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bulletproof-screenwriting-podcast--2881148/support.

M. F. Gross - MadmanCrystal Beach, Florida—1949. A peaceful seaside haven where crime was unheard of. Until one early morning, a brutal act of violence changed everything.John Calvin "Rastus" Russell, a drifter, thug, and small-time car thief, committed an unthinkable crime—the torture and murder of Norman Y. Browne and the near-fatal assault on his wife, Anne. The savage attack sent shockwaves through the tight-knit community, turning everyday citizens into armed vigilantes determined to bring a killer to justice.But this was no ordinary murder case. Russell's dramatic capture the next day was just the beginning of a story far stranger than fiction. As investigators pursued justice, shocking secrets unraveled—about the victims, their pasts, and a tangled web of deceit that no one saw coming. With a desperate escape, a relentless manhunt, and a hurricane crashing into the chaos, the pursuit of Rastus Russell became a deadly game of cat and mouse, pushing the limits of 1940s rural law enforcement.For nearly a month, terror gripped Crystal Beach and West Central Florida. The case became national news, a chilling tale whispered for generations. But nothing will prepare readers for the explosive and controversial ending—one that left residents and police stunned."Just like the movies," one headline declared. But this was real. And now, for the first time, the full story of Rastus Russell is told—a tale of crime, deception, and justice that will haunt you long after the last page.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.
