Podcasts about man behind

In this episode, we dive deep into Lost Season 3, Episode 20: “The Man Behind the Curtain,” one of the series' most pivotal hours. We unpack Ben Linus's chilling origin story, the long-teased truth behind his manipulation of the Others, and the episode's game-changing revelations about leadership, mythmaking, and control on the Island. From Richard Alpert's ageless presence to the birth of Ben's lies, we explore how this episode reframes everything we thought we knew about power and destiny in Lost.From there, the conversation transitions into a retrospective discussion of The Leftovers, Damon Lindelof's later, more meditative exploration of grief, faith, and meaning. We compare how both shows wrestle with unanswered questions—Lost through sprawling mythology and plot propulsion, The Leftovers through emotional intimacy and ambiguity. Where Lost invites theorizing and mystery-box speculation, The Leftovers challenges viewers to sit with uncertainty and loss without resolution.Together, we examine the shared DNA between the two series—belief versus skepticism, leaders and followers, trauma as identity—while contrasting their storytelling philosophies. It's a discussion about evolution: how the lessons of Lost echo, mature, and ultimately transform in The Leftovers.

In this episode, we step into one of the most dramatic turning points in Israel's history—the birth of Samson. Before he ever lifted a jawbone or toppled pillars, Samson arrived in a time when the Philistines tightened their grip on Israel for forty long years. We walk through Judges 13 and explore the angelic announcement, the Nazirite vow, and the divine purpose placed on Samson before he was even conceived. From his name meaning “Little Sun” to the stirring of the Spirit in Mahaneh Dan, everything about Samson signaled a man set apart. But we don't stop there. We explore a fascinating possibility: could the legendary Hercules have been inspired by the real-life narrative of Samson? With the tribe of Dan deeply connected to maritime trade, the Denyen, and even early Greek culture, the ancient world may have preserved Samson's feats in mythic form. Similarities between Samson and Hercules are striking—from lion-slaying to miraculous strength to betrayal by a woman. While myth transforms the man, Scripture preserves the truth. And as we lay the historical and cultural groundwork, we prepare the stage for the extraordinary story that unfolds next in Samson's life. Highlights The Philistines oppressed Israel for 40 years before Samson's birth. Manoah and his wife encounter the angel of the Lord, echoing Gideon's story. Samson's Nazirite vow was lifelong and not voluntary. The meaning of Samson's name and its cultural implications. The Nazirite vow is explained in Numbers 6. Historical and archaeological connections between the tribe of Dan, the Denyen, and early Greek culture. Striking parallels between Samson and Hercules. The tribe of Dan's maritime influence and presence in two major locations. Samson's early life and the Spirit of the Lord beginning to stir him.

In this episode, Matt takes a closer look at one of southern Illinois' most unusual stories: the mystery of Burrows Cave near Olney, Illinois. Retired Army officer and experienced caver Russell E. Burrows claimed he stumbled onto an underground chamber packed with carved stones, gold artifacts, and signs that ancient Old World travelers may have reached North America long before Columbus. Matt walks through Burrows' impressive military background, the details of what he said he found, and why most archaeologists remain convinced the whole thing was a hoax. But not everyone is ready to dismiss it. Some researchers — including Book of Mormon Heartland investigator Brian Nettles — believe the artifacts deserve another look and might even be genuine. Is Burrows' Cave the ultimate secret history of the world, or one of the greatest hoaxes in American archaeology? This episode dives into the life of the man behind the story, the controversial evidence he brought out of the cave, and the enduring questions that keep this mystery unsolved. Episode Highlights & Timestamps [00:01] The Hook: The Man Who Fell into History [00:01] Introduction of Russell Burrows: a highly decorated Korean War veteran and experienced caver. [00:28] The moment he stepped on a flat slab of rock and the ground dropped out from under him. [00:41] How Burrows used his combat instinct to survive the collapse of the man-made trap. [01:03] The carvings and the massive, ancient-looking stone face that suggested he had found an "entryway into something far bigger." [02:16] Welcome & Update on Zachary Carey's case [02:16] Welcome to River City Mystery and invitation to the Discord server. [03:00] Case Update: The tragic conclusion to the Zachary Carey disappearance (disappeared May 2023). [03:32] Confirmation of Zachary's remains being found near Lynville, Indiana, and information on the GoFundMe link for final expenses. [03:58] The Man Behind the Story: Russell Burrows [04:06] Why understanding Russell Burrows' credibility is essential to the story. [04:30] His military background: Born 1935, enlisted in the Army, received a battlefield commission in the Korean War. [04:47] His awards: Two Silver Stars, a Bronze Star, a Legion of Merit, and Two Purple Hearts. [04:55] His academic interest: He attended West Virginia University and majored in archaeology. [05:18] He resigned his commission as a full Colonel (O-6) in 1963. [05:39] Update on his health: Burrows suffered a stroke a few years ago that affects his memory. [06:09] His steadfast conviction: He has never, not once, backed down from his story. [06:39] The Discovery and Artifact Claims [06:45] A quick aside: Olney, Illinois is famous for its rare population of albino squirrels. [07:19] What he claimed to find: A vast, man-made chamber containing sarcophagi, gold, bronze, and copper weapons, and thousands of carved stone tablets. [07:37] The historical claim: Evidence of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern peoples in North America centuries before Columbus. [07:59] The book that launched the legend: The Mystery Cave of Many Faces by Burrows and Fred Rydholm. [08:37] The book is out of print, but a free version is linked in the show notes. [09:00] The Evidence: The Controversial Stones [09:00] The core problem: The cave location is unverified, making the artifacts the only tangible evidence. [09:18] The mix of scripts: The stones feature Egyptian-like hieroglyphs, ancient Greek characters, Phoenician symbols, and more. [09:50] The believers' argument: The "hodgepodge" makes sense if the group was a multicultural blend of travelers. [10:19] The skeptics' counter: The mix of styles suggests a confused forgery. [10:35] The supporters' response: The difference in quality is due to trained scribes vs. illiterate soldiers making the carvings. [11:15] The Controversy and Hoax Theory Problems [11:15] The dealbreaker for mainstream archaeology: Burrows never allowed independent experts to document or verify the location. [12:03] Problems with the hoax theory: No financial motive (he never made millions). [12:30] His consistency: Burrows stuck to the same story for 40 years. [12:50] The decorated veteran does not fit the profile of a typical con artist. [13:15] Artifact Patina: Some experts claim the aging and patina on certain artifacts are difficult to fake. [13:42] Interview with Russell Burrows [13:42] Introduction to Brian Nettles, who conducted the interview, and his work comparing Burrows' Cave artifacts to the Michigan artifacts (1910). [15:08] INTERVIEW CLIP BEGINS (Brian Nettles introduces himself and his research interests). [16:05] Russell Burrows introduces himself: "I had the misfortune of finding a cave back in 1982..." [16:47] Burrows confirms his recent stroke and the effect on his memory; he advises listeners to "go with the book." [17:41] Burrows confirms he found the cave and believes the artifacts are ancient (approx. 2,000 years old). [18:14] Burrows attests he never manufactured any of the artifacts. [18:37] Burrows names "Harry Hard" as a person who manufactured some items but confirms his core artifacts are genuine. [19:14] Burrows confirms a man who owned a foundry in St. Louis (Mr. Black) manufactured lead replicas coated with gold. [20:13] Burrows confirms he took out about 4,000 artifacts, most of which had writings on them. [20:46] Burrows attests he did not create the writing system. [21:03] INTERVIEW CLIP ENDS (The hosts comments on why the rest of the visual comparison is better suited for video). [21:23] Conclusion & Final Thoughts [21:23] The final question: Are the stones ancient or modern? The mystery remains unsolved. [21:48] Invitation to join the Discord server to share thoughts on the Tri-State Mystery.

Tomorrow is the Feast of St. Nicholas, and Father Jonathan shares the real story behind this beloved saint and how families can meaningfully celebrate his feast day.   Many of us grew up with the joy of “St. Nick Night,” waking up on December 6th to small gifts or treats. But behind the tradition stands a remarkable man: St. Nicholas, a bishop from present-day Turkey who loved the Lord with boldness and charity.   He defended the truth at the Council of Nicaea (even famously punching a heretical bishop!), rescued impoverished young women by secretly providing dowries, and became a model of generosity that eventually inspired the gift-giving tradition we know today.   He is the patron saint of children, sailors, and those in need — and his feast day is a perfect opportunity for families to talk about:   • Saints who lived heroic virtue • Bishops and priests who guard the faith • Fathers who protect and provide • The joy of giving secretly and generously   As you celebrate tonight and tomorrow, keep the spirit of St. Nicholas alive in your home and heart — not just in gifts, but in gratitude, courage, and love for the Lord.   St. Nicholas, pray for us!   #StNicholas #FeastDay #CatholicSaints #Advent #CatholicParenting #PeaceOnEarth

In this riveting episode, Dave Chatterjee, Ph.D., sits down with Eric O'Neill, a legendary FBI undercover operative whose real-life spy hunt inspired the Hollywood thriller Breach. O'Neill recounts how he helped capture Robert Hanssen, one of the most damaging spies in U.S. history, and how the counterintelligence mindset he cultivated at the FBI now forms the foundation of his cybersecurity strategy work.Together, they explore how spycraft translates to the digital age—from insider threats and virtual trusted insiders to AI-driven deception, deepfakes, and nation-state infiltration. Through real-world stories, hard-won lessons, and O'Neill's PAID (Prepare–Assess–Investigate–Decide) methodology, listeners learn why thinking like a spy is essential for defending organizations, families, and individuals in a hyperconnected world.

It's the most successful and the most maddening play in professional football right now: the tush push. If you're a football fan, you have probably seen the play in action — the one where the Philadelphia Eagles seem to push their quarterback Jalen Hurts over the line to gain a first down, or to score. But you might not know its surprising backstory. In this episode, we bring you the man who helped create this controversial play: Richie Gray, a former rugby coach from a small town in Scotland. Richie tells us how he made his way into the NFL, what he thinks about the tush push controversy, and what makes the play so unstoppable.Show Notes The Tush Push Explained with Kyle Brandt & Dr Neil DeGrasse Tyson | NFL Inside Packers-Eagles battle over banning the tush push | ESPN How a Scottish Rugby Lifer is Changing the Way NFL Teams Tackle | Sports Illustrated Jason Defends the Push, Travis' Record-Breaking Connection and Coach Prime Makes History | New Heights Podcast 26 Minutes of the Tush Push | Philadelphia Eagles Show CreditsExecutive Producer: Tom GrahslerSenior Producer: Michael OlcottProducer: Michaela WinbergAssociate Producer: Bibiana CorreaEngineer: Mike VillersTile Art: Bea WallingSports in America is a production of WHYY, distributed by PRX, and part of the NPR podcast network.

When you think of the voice of tennis who do you think of? There are some great commentators / co-commentators out there from David Law to Annabel Croft but for me personally there is only one answer. I think of Russell Fuller.When it comes to experiencing big tennis events and immersing myself in to them - my go to is not the TV it is most definitely the radio.Russell Fuller is the BBC Tennis Correspondent and many of you will know his commentaries from Wimbledon and the other big tournaments.Tennis Journeys take all sorts of different pathways. All sorts of different destinations. They can't all lead to Wimbledon glory. But so many to lead to incredible adventures. Russell's journey to BBC Tennis Correspondent is a compelling one and I hope you'll enjoy hearing about it as much as I did…Music CreditsEarth by MusicbyAden https://soundcloud.com/musicbyadenCreative Commons — Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported — CC BY-SA 3.0

A Note from JamesTupac Shakur—one of the greatest rap artists ever—was shot and killed almost two decades ago. What else is there left to say about him? What new things can be said?Well, Jeff Pearlman's new book, Only God Can Judge Me: The Many Lives of Tupac Shakur, takes on that challenge. In our conversation, we talk about what Jeff uncovered in his research, why he wanted to write another Tupac book, and what made this one different.But first, a little story. Back in the '90s, I was running a company that built websites. Around 1997 or '98, Tupac's mom wanted to release a new album of his music and build a website around it. I went in to pitch the project—$90,000, which would've covered payroll for another month. I needed that deal.So I show up, ready to impress. Tupac's manager says, “Okay, here's my computer. Show me what you've got.” And I realize—I've never used a Windows machine in my life. I'd only ever used Macs. I couldn't even figure out how to turn it on.I had a computer science degree. I was a software engineer. I'd been running this company for years. But in that moment, I had to admit: “I don't know how to use this machine.” He laughed me out of the room. Literally.That was the day I learned that even the smartest pitch can fall apart if you forget to check which operating system you're using.Anyway—what else is there to talk about with Tupac Shakur? Jeff Pearlman and I figured it out.Episode DescriptionIn this episode, James sits down with bestselling author and journalist Jeff Pearlman (The Last Folk Hero, Showtime, Sweetness) to talk about his latest book, Only God Can Judge Me: The Many Lives of Tupac Shakur.Pearlman explores the contradictions, brilliance, and tragedy of Tupac's life—how a performing arts kid from Baltimore became the poetic voice of West Coast hip hop, and how his complex identity was shaped by the Black Panther movement, celebrity culture, and the rise of gangsta rap.James and Jeff unpack Tupac's evolution from Digital Underground hype man to solo artist, his influence on music and film, and the deeper meaning behind songs like Brenda's Got a Baby. They also trace the events leading up to his death, separating myth from reality, and reflect on what Tupac's legacy might have become if he'd lived.What You'll LearnWhy Tupac's “gangster” persona was more performance than realityHow his upbringing under a Black Panther mother shaped his worldviewThe untold story behind Brenda's Got a Baby—and how Pearlman found the real “baby” years laterThe truth about Tupac's relationship with Biggie Smalls and the events that led to both of their deathsWhy Tupac might have gone on to become a political or cultural leader, not just a rapperHow hip hop evolved from the storytelling of the '90s to today's more fragmented soundTimestamped Chapters[00:00] Introduction – James shares his connection to Tupac's world [02:43] A Note from James – The web pitch that went wrong [05:00] Why Jeff Pearlman wrote a Tupac book [07:00] The challenge of writing outside his comfort zone [09:00] Tupac's background and the myth of the “gangsta” image [11:00] The evolution of rap from the '80s to now [16:00] What made Tupac's art different from his peers [18:30] Tupac as a natural actor—and how he almost won an Oscar [21:00] Was his “gangster” side authentic or performance?

This gift allowed him to become an emotional detective, observing subtle cues in athletes before training and meetings to meet unexpressed needs, a skill he calls game-changing.The discussion explores pivotal concepts that transformed the All Blacks, including:Red Head vs. Blue Head thinking: Understanding how survival instincts (red) and rational decision-making (blue) must work together under pressureThe 2007 turning point: How a devastating World Cup loss led to embracing pressure rather than avoiding itSqueeze drills: Deliberately practicing skills under pressure to prepare for critical moments"Better people make better All Blacks": Why character development became central to the team's philosophyThe misunderstood "no dickhead policy": How leaders actually enforce team standardsSweeping the sheds: The true meaning behind this famous ritual of humilityGilbert shares intimate stories about working with legends like Dan Carter and Richie McCaw. This conversation offers rare insight into the human side of elite performance, reminding us that the greatest competitor we face isn't external—it's ourselves. Hosted on Acast.

Mike met Nick Offerman years ago at the Sasquatch! Music Festival in Washington state, which is fitting because Nick is a man of nature, almost as well known for his woodworking as he is for his acting. After examining the Working It Out studio table, Nick tells Mike about what it was like to act as the straight man to Amy Poehler on Parks and Rec, and more recently prep for his dramatic turn in the film Sovereign. Nick also shares some wisdom from the wood shop care of his new instructional book Little Woodchucks.Please consider donating to Girls Garage Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
