Tonight, we delve into the shadowy depths of nature's secrets in a spine-tingling episode of Weekly Spooky, as we unwrap a monstrous compilation of eerie tales designed to keep you on the edge of your seat. It's the first Friday in April, and as the chilling whispers of the wind beckon, we prepare to embark on a haunting journey through the unexplored and often sinister realms of the outdoors. So, grab your favorite blanket, dim those lights, and let's venture into the terrifying unknown where nightmares come alive under the canopy of stars. Our chilling adventure kicks off in the frostbitten landscapes of the Great White North, introducing us to Joshua Fox, a college student grappling with loneliness as he returns to his hometown of Owen Sound. Through his relatable and youthful voice, we traverse the familiar corridors of college life—filled with nostalgia, Dungeons & Dragons, and the warm camaraderie of shared memories. However, as Joshua seeks to spark new connections after a week of isolation, he discovers an old flame, Tracy Kidd, reigniting a flicker of hope. Yet, in a delicious twist of horror, Joshua finds that his eagerly anticipated reunion spirals into a night of unimaginable terror. As darkness descends, Tracy transforms from a beacon of connection into a nightmarish figure, culminating in a gut-wrenching chase where survival instincts kick in, reminding us that the forest may hide more than just creatures of the night.As we shift gears, the narrative expands to encompass the gripping tale of a beleaguered park ranger on night watch in a seemingly innocuous warehouse, where the silence becomes suffocating and the shadows teasingly morph into lurking horrors. Our ranger's mundanity unravels as strange occurrences envelop him, signaling that something sinister stirs behind the facade of safety. The terror escalates as he encounters grotesque creatures, not just threats to his physical safety but manifestations of his deepest insecurities, painting nature and isolation as both a refuge and a tormentor—a theme that threads itself throughout the episode, capturing the uneasy balance between tranquility and terror.Fate intertwines as we plunge deeper into the narrative, surfing the crest of adrenaline-fueled frights. In the backyard of a dense, dark forest, chaos brews as the story takes a visceral turn. Here, we accompany Lila and Rocco—two individuals entrenched in a complicated relationship—on what is intended to be a romantic retreat, but soon morphs into a chilling fight for survival. Their camping trip spirals into chaos as they face the relentless menace of mutated fleas, pushing their bonds to the limit. Amid terror and bloodshed, friendships are tested in a visceral showing of human emotions—fear and desperation loom large as bonds of loyalty struggle against primal instincts to survive.Eagerly exploring these tales, we draw parallels between the chaotic horrors of a dysfunctional camping trip and the unseen perils lurking within dark hallways of the warehouse, showcasing how fear can manifest in myriad forms. The creatures may change, but the essence of horror remains etched in the hearts of our protagonists, forcing them to confront the darkness—both external and internal—that resides within. It's in these haunting moments, where survival is paramount, that we witness not just physical confrontations but an exploration of human fragility in the face of the unspeakable: a palpable reminder that sometimes, the monsters we face are reflections of our own fears and insecurities.As the chilling climax approaches, we unveil not just the creatures that lurk in the shadows but the very fabric of human emotion that binds us in fear and hope. Each story resonates with eerie truths, leading us through the beautifully terrifying dualities inherent in our existence—where nature's beauty often cloaks an unseen menace. I invite you, dear listeners, to join me on this captivating exploration of fear and survival as we dissect the unseen horrors that dwell both within the haunted whispers of nature and beneath the surface of our own hearts. If the night we just shared has captured your imagination, I encourage you to keep the spine-tingling tales alive by visiting weeklyspooky.com, where you can support us and discover more thrilling merchandise.

**Beware the Ides of March - A Chilling Compilation**Step into the eerie shadows of "Weekly Spooky," where host Henrique Couto invites you to contemplate the haunting resonance of fate and retribution in this special compilation, "Beware the Ides of March." This captivating episode presents a chilling series of tales that intertwine themes of vengeance, remorse, and the sinister implications of choices made under duress.As the episode unfolds, listeners are treated to a narrative rich in suspense and dark twists that echo the famous cautionary adage, "Beware the Ides of March." Henrique sets the tone, urging you to dive deep into stories where characters grapple with the consequences of their actions in a wicked and unpredictable world. The compilation promises to chill you to the bone, highlighting the complexity of human morality, the pull of regret, and the tantalizing nature of revenge.Our first featured tale, **"Dead Ahead" by Joe Solmo,** introduces us to Becca and Tom, a couple caught in a harrowing accident that spirals into a dark descent of bad choices and supernatural consequences. As they struggle with the implications of their actions, the line between guilt and the supernatural blurs when the jogger they thought they buried returns from the grave to exact its revenge. The tension rises as Becca must confront not only the specter of their crime but also a reckoning with her own past. Next, **“Hell Hath No Fury” by Aaron Cook** draws us into the life of Zelda Mae Darling, a woman trapped in the confines of a disastrous marriage. As she navigates the complexities of love, betrayal, and the haunting effects of her choices, Zelda finds herself entwined in a web of chaos that ultimately leads to her desperate act of self-defense. The chilling twist reveals not only the cost of her actions but the consequences that echo long after her demise.The momentum continues with **“The Stop Sign Man” by Bryce Gibson,** which amplifies the familiar ritualistic urban legend surrounding a cursed stop sign that leads to untold consequences for a group of teenagers. As Stratton Duke celebrates his 17th birthday, the risks of youthful bravado intertwine with a sinister journey that cost him dearly, setting up a nail-biting exploration of innocence lost and the heavy price of recklessness.In this mesmerizing compilation, we are also treated to **“The Devil Reaps the Harvest” by John Oak Dalton** and **“Grave Consequences” by Killian Crane**, which expand on the dark depths of desperation, moral collapse, and the harrowing consequences of one's actions in life and death. Each tale builds on the overarching theme of justice—often delivered in a supernatural form—that awaits those who tread the line between right and wrong.Finally, **“Dead and Breakfast” by Morgan Moore** closes the episode with a breathless encounter that blends survival and horror in a twisted game of life and death at a seemingly benign bed-and-breakfast. The juxtaposition of warmth and terror unfolds, leading to a shocking climax that leaves listeners questioning the very nature of safety.

In this episode, I dive into a chilling specter of tales both eerie and mystifying, starting with the phenomenon of a kayaker nearly swallowed by a whale. We recount the adventure of Adrian Simancas, who, while kayaking in the Strait of Magellan, found himself lifted by the massive creature. As we explore this story, we reflect on not only the frightening nature of the encounter but also the curiosity of whales that can lead to such close interactions with humans.Next, we turn our attention to an inexplicable occurrence in Munich, Germany, where over 1,000 gravestones were marked with mysterious QR code stickers. Initially perplexed by the sudden appearance of these stickers, which simply provided names and locations of the deceased, the investigation revealed that a gardening company had affixed these codes for maintenance tracking. However, the audacity of placing such markings on graves led to an inquiry into potential property damage, and we discuss the implications of such oddities.As our conversation unfolds, we delve into the realm of conspiracy theories, focusing on the 'Lost Cosmonauts' narrative steeped in Cold War era secrecy regarding the Soviet space program. I share captivating details about Yuri Gagarin's historic flight, then pivot to unsettling hypotheses suggesting that other cosmonauts may have vanished during clandestine missions. With tales of alleged recordings from the Judica Cordiglia brothers revealing voices of cosmonauts in distress—images of desperation that haunt the void of space—I draw connections to the dark history of the Soviet regime's cover-ups, underscoring the rollercoaster of human ambition and the cost of silence in the face of tragedy.Throughout our exploration, I invite guests to contemplate the horror of history obscured by shadows and state-sponsored silence. The episode culminates in a contemplation of our fascination with such forgotten narratives—echoes of lives never celebrated, journeys never completed, and the haunting beauty wrapped in humanity's quest for mastery over the skies. As we close, I leave you with lingering questions about the boundaries of our knowledge and the secrets that may continue to hide just beyond the reaches of our understanding. Tune in for a blend of horror, mystery, and thought-provoking stories that dare to look beyond the veil of the known.

It was a move that to this day makes no sense to me as to why he did it. He had been in first place and while he had slipped in the polls he was still in a stronger position than he would ever see again prior to this early withdrawal from the race. You will listen in at his reasoning at the time in his Press conference announcing his withdrawal. Then we will return to the convention hall on that final day and during a break in the action on the convention floor we will listen to a panel discussion that will feature every unsuccessful Democratic nominee over the past 22 years up to that point.

IntegrityIQ, the business behind an AI-driven platform designed to address failings in ethics and compliance in large multinationals, is set to become the first campus company to officially spin out of Trinity Business School. It is hoped the move could be the first step in making Dublin a hub for ethics and corporate integrity in Europe. IntegrityIQ is supported by The Learnovate Centre, a global research and innovation centre in learning technologies in Trinity College Dublin. In 2023, with Learnovate's support, the environmental, social and governance (ESG) firm received €365,000 in funding under Enterprise Ireland's Commercialisation Fund to bring the platform to market - a process due to culminate this year. IntegrityIQ is attracting support from investors both in Ireland and internationally and was last week named a regional finalist in the InterTradeIreland Seedcorn Investor Readiness Competition - one of three Dublin-based finalists in the New Start category. The company's mission is to help large multinationals address failings in ethics and corporate governance that are leading to huge annual losses from fraud, corruption and unethical behaviour. The firm was founded in 2022 by Dr Daniel Malan and is co-owned by IntegrityIQ CEO Mark Shields. Dr Malan is an internationally renowned expert in the field of Organisational Integrity and Director of the Trinity Corporate Governance Lab at Trinity College Dublin. He has served as co-chair of the Integrity and Compliance Task Force for Business Twenty (B20), the official business dialogue with the G20. He has also been a member of the World Economic Forum's Global Future Council on Transparency and Anti-Corruption and an advisory committee member on the Future of Trust and Integrity Project. Mark Shields is an award-winning executive specialising in the development of ESG companies from start-up to SME level. Mark's previous company, CR360, received a number of honours under his stewardship, including the Sunday Times Hiscox Tech Track 100, which recognises the UK's fastest-growing tech companies, and the Queen's Award for Enterprise: International Trade. At the core of IntegrityIQ's business is an AI-driven platform which provides an immersive environment for employees to share perceptions about integrity risks and corporate culture and to sharpen their ethical decision-making skills in a simulated environment. Employees can make protected disclosures via the platform, which will also capture relevant data in real-time for internal and external reporting. Companies continue to suffer huge losses due to unethical behaviour. Some key statistics include: Companies lose €4.7 trillion globally each year to employee fraud Business insiders, or insiders working with outsiders, account for 57% of all fraud cases annually In Western Europe, corruption accounts for the largest proportion of occupational fraud, with only 16% of cases picked up by internal audit and 9% by data monitoring. Some 41% of fraud cases are uncovered following a tip-off. Ethics officers in large multinationals report challenges around the sourcing of relevant content for ethics and compliance training. Scaling effective programmes is also a challenge, with ethics officers reporting that most scalable solutions are ineffective. IntegrityIQ offers an affordable, personalised solution at scale. Dr Daniel Malan, Founder of IntegrityIQ and Director of the Trinity Corporate Governance Lab at Trinity College Dublin, said: "We are hugely excited by the prospect of becoming the first campus company to officially spin out of Trinity Business School. It has been a fantastic 12 months for Integrity IQ. The €365,000 investment from the Enterprise Ireland Commercialisation Fund put us on a path to market readiness while Learnovate's technical support helped us refine our AI platform and put us in a position to sign our first contracts with customers. "Ireland has a strong tradition of corporate governance. Indeed, histor...

In this short episode we will listen in on PBS as Governor Bill Clinton comes to the hall at the Democratic National Convention in 1992 a night early. Clinton will say just a few words of thank you for the Democrats nominating him. The interesting part of the segment is that joining in the commentary from PBS is Senator Joe Lieberman, as he discusses his early history with Bill and Hillary Clinton. It is one of the first moments the country tunes in to hear about this couple who would come to dominate the political landscape for the next 30 plus years. You will also hear from David Gergen, Mark Shields, Jim Lehrer, Robert McNeil, and Senator Lieberman, so I hope you will see this episode is a little bit of not only a tribute to Senator Joe Lieberman but also a peak into our podcasts future episodes too.  Questions or comments at , Randalrgw1@aol.com , https://twitter.com/randal_wallace , and http://www.randalwallace.com/Please Leave us a review at wherever you get your podcastsThanks for listening!!
