Podcast appearances and mentions of matt douglas

Teen and young adult mentor, Matt Douglas, joined me on this episode of the Complicated Kids Podcast for a deep dive into the “other” end of the parenting spectrum—college applications, executive function, and the tricky transition from high school to young adulthood. We talk about how neurodivergent teens—those with ADHD, autism, anxiety, or learning differences—face added layers of complexity in the college process, and how parents can support without overstepping.   To find out more about Matt, visit www.unlockingcollegeadmissions.com or check out his book at https://a.co/d/a5pPgGl.

Episode 359 of The VentureFizz Podcast features Matt Douglas, Founder & CEO of Sincere. Boston has this legacy reputation that you can't build consumer companies in the area, yet there are so many great companies that have scaled like Wayfair, DraftKings, iRobot, SimpliSafe, and so… so… many more. Plus, don't get me started on how many brands, especially footwear, are located here. Anyway, Sincere is another example of a great consumer company at scale. It is highly likely that you've used one of their products like Punchbowl to plan a party, Timehop to relive past memories, or Memento, where you can collect and preserve memories together for a group video or photo album. Sincere's latest brand is Lovebird, a new platform for the wedding industry which is taking on The Knot and other outdated incumbents and as highlighted in this interview with Matt, there will be more coming from Sincere. In this podcast, we cover: * A discussion around the legacy of an entrepreneur and what led Matt down the path of starting a corporate foundation at Sincere for charitable initiatives. * Matt's background story, growing up with 5 brothers and how he started his entrepreneurial roots early on. * Getting his career started and how he became the youngest Product Manager at Adobe. * His brushes with tech luminaries like Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Alexis Ohanian, Justin Kan, and Dharmesh Shah. * The background story of Punchbowl and the three key characteristics he used for building a business. * Why the expansion into the wedding market with Lovebird made sense for the company and how they are differentiating themselves from the competitors. * Matt's philosophy around buying premium domains and a hint about his best 5 letter domain that is not even live yet. * And so much more.

On the show this time, it's the detail driven divinations of The Mountain Goats. The Mountain Goats are a definitive independent band. John Darnielle has been releasing music under that name since 1991. He started out taping straight onto cassette, with a boombox, and over the years has returned to that medium - lo-fi for sure, but oddly high in emotional fidelity. He's also worked with engineers - in particular with Tiny Telephone's John Vanderslice, and is now equally comfortable with full-studio productions. The band has changed over the years too, but at the moment is a wonderfully cohesive group - Peter Hughes on bass, Matt Douglas on sax/keys and 2nd guitar, and rockin' Jon Wurster on drums. His latest is “Jenny From Thebes” - his 22nd full length album, and it's available on Merge Records. Recorded 08/08/2023.

For the first episode of Season 6 of the LSQ podcast, I was honored to welcome an artist whose words and music I have admired for nearly thirty years now: the Mountain Goats' John Darnielle. In episode 84, John shares fascinating insight into his early creative inklings, the music he loved as a kid, and how he went from clinging to his Aristocats soundtrack to embracing Elton John and the Bay City Rollers and eventually unlocking a secret passion for heavy metal. He also describes his transition from writing poetry on its own to combining his verses with music, initially singing haunting melodies over the sound of static from his black & white TV, and then developing the boombox recording method he used when he started as the Mountain Goats in the mid-Nineties. And we dish about how he got involved with Rian Johnson's new mystery series, Poker Face. (He wrote the music for it with Jamey Jasta from Hatebreed, and also has a small acting role.) Darnielle and the Mountain Goats' Matt Douglas are currently on tour in the U.S. as a duo. Get dates and tickets here.

The world has changed. We are bringing up our children in a very different environment from that of our own childhood.   As a result, many parents are worried as to whether the advice and support that they are offering their child is in fact correct. How can they be sure they are saying the right things?   In this episode, I chat with Matt Douglas - a veteran educator - about the opportunities available to our children nowadays. We discuss how parents can better understand and communicate with their teens.   We address the common pressures that our teens are currently facing - and how parents can play a role in supporting them through these modern-day challenges; and the critical importance of mental health in the lives of our teens.   Want to know more?

In this interview, I sit down with with Matt Douglas, Chief Enterprise Architect at Sentara and Optima Health and Chris Logan, Executive Healthcare Advisor at VMware. You can check out the full interview at the bottom of this article.. Douglas shares why Sentara and Optima Health made the decision to move their Epic EHR to VMware vSphere and vSAN running on the Azure cloud. That's a big decision for any organization. In fact, I asked Douglas if he was worried about virtualizing such an important application and moving it to the cloud. His response highlighted something we often forget. Not moving to a modern architecture that includes virtualization and the cloud carries many risks as well.

It pitted over 70,000 Confederate troops under the command of General Robert E. Lee, invading the north for the second time in hopes of forcing a Union peace offering, against almost 100,000 Union troops lead by General George Meade. The three-day battle saw fighting in the streets of Gettysburg, at now-famous sites like Little Round Top and Devil's Den, and ended with the disastrous Confederate frontal assault known as Pickett's Charge. The Union had won the battle, and handed Lee his worst ever defeat. On July 4th, Lee began his retreat back to Virginia. Over 50,000 men were casualties of the battle, an estimated had 7,000 had been killed, 33,000 wounded, and 11,000 missing or captured.

There, Abraham Lincoln gave his most famous speech, the Gettysburg Address, his immortal words honoring the dead and reaffirming the need to fight. The Educator Podcast is hosted by Matt Douglas, former history teacher, longtime educator and life coach for teens and young adults.

In this very special episode we are joined by the Executive Director of Loudoun Museum, Joe Rizzo, for an in-depth discussion of the history of Leesburg, Virginia, a town almost 300 years old, and all the important events that took place here. Joe once and for all settles the question of whether or not Leesburg was the capital of the US during the War of 1812, discusses the incredibly significant visit of the Marquis de Lafayette in 1825, and much more. After our discussion I visit the locations Joe and I talked about and tell you which ones are the best to visit during your tour of this quintessentially historic American town. Want to jump ahead in the episode?Interview Begins: 2:00Lafayette's Visit: 10:15Loudoun Museum: 27:25Touring Leesburg, VA Today: 33:00It was a real pleasure speaking to Joe Rizzo, and he gives a truly deep history of the town, from it's roots in the early 1700s to modern times. He discusses why it was created where it stands today, who the town was actually named after, the influence of Nicholas Minor on the creation of the town, the controversy over whether or not it was considered the capital of the US during the burning of Washington in 1814, the Marquis de Lafayette's famous visit in 1825, the divisions, military engagements and battles that took place here during the Civil War, and much more. Interested in touring Leesburg with an eye towards its history? After the interview I visit some of the most interesting places Joe and I talked about and tell you what you can expect to find when you go there today, including walking the exact route the Marquis de Lafayette (with James Monroe and John Quincy Adams in tow!) took to the adoration of 10,000 onlookers, Civil War sites, and visit some famous gravesites for all you haunted tours fans out there.

With The Mountain Goats releasing its 19th album last week (Dark in Here), it felt like a good time to get some cheap heat by making the heart take case that the 2015 pro wrestling-themed album Beat the Champ is actually the band's best record. Alyson McManus rejoins the fracas to talk about the effectiveness of wrestling metaphors, John Darnielle's violent comedic glee, the subtle brilliance of Matt Douglas's woodwinds, dumb WCW booking decisions, and more!

In honor of Independence Day we visit the Battle of Yorktown, the final and most important battle of the Revolutionary War which resulted in American independence from Great Britain. This episode does a deep dive into the battle, discussing its background, the chess game that Washington was playing with the British, and the battle itself. Finally, we end by discussing what it's like to visit this incredible battlefield today.Want to jump ahead in this episode?Summary: 4:35 Interesting Facts: 7:15 Background of the Battle: 8:35 The Battle: 32:55 Aftermath: 52:50 Visiting Today: 55:20The Battle of Yorktown, also known as the Siege of Yorktown, was the final and most important battle of the Revolutionary War, resulting in the complete surrender of the British forces under General Lord Cornwallis to General George Washington and eventually leading to the full British surrender and independence for the United States. Culminating on Oct. 19th, 1781, the battle pitted a combined force of about 17,000 American and French troops against just over 8,000 British. The British had been holed up in the port town of Yorktown, Virginia, near the Chesapeake Bay since the summer, but by October they found themselves trapped between a French fleet at sea and American and French troops by land. Without escape or reinforcement the British forces were sitting ducks.By 1781 the American Revolution had reached its 6th year of fighting, with both sides tired, but momentum was on the side of the Americans. The French had allied with the Americans and were providing soldiers, supplies, and their powerful navy. The British had tried unsuccessfully for years to control the Middle and New England colonies, and by 1781 their only force, though a large one, in the northern colonies was stationed in New York City. Washington's strategy of protracted fighting and avoiding large, pitched battles had worn down the enemy, and support for independence steadily grew throughout the new United States. But victory was far from certain. British forces, particularly those under General Cornwallis, were attacking throughout the south, and the British forces in New York City far outnumbered Washington's and could defeat or capture his army at any time. The Americans, and French, however, with a great deal of ingenuity and a little bit of luck, managed to corner and defeat Cornwallis' southern force. “Oh God! It's all over.” Said British Prime Minister Lord North upon hearing the news of the defeat at Yorktown. For all intents and purposes it was, although Washington and the rest of those fighting didn't know it yet, still afraid of the British force in New York. The British would not attack, however, and soon peace negotiations began, finally ending with the Treaty of Paris in 1783. It secured full independence for the fledgling United States, creating the first democracy the world had seen since Rome, and proved that the world's most powerful countries and their monarchs could be challenged and overcome.The Educator Podcast is hosted by Matt Douglas, former history teacher, longtime educator and life coach for teens and young adults.

In this episode of Walking History we visit and discuss the detailed history of the National Mall in Washington, DC, one of the most iconic and historic spaces in America.  The National Mall was first conceived by President George Washington's handpicked designer for the new capital of Washington, DC, Pierre L'Enfant, in 1791. It has seen many changes from his original design, but the original intent remains, and today this sprawling, 2 mile wide green space host over 25 million visitors each year and is home to some of the most impressive cultural and historic museums, memorials and monuments in the country.   Want to jump ahead in this episode?  Overview of the National Mall: 2:55 Interesting Facts: 5:15 History of the National Mall: 6:20 Visiting the Mall Today: 12:30 Washington Monument: 22:00 WWII Memorial: 31:50 Vietnam Veterans Memorial: 39:45 Lincoln Memorial: 48:00 MLK Jr. Memorial: 53:30 Jefferson Memorial: 1:00.15The National Mall was first conceived in 1791, but throughout even the majority of the 1800s it looked very different than it does today. Originally, half the area we know of as the National Mall today was under water, and the only main structures visible were the White House, Capitol Building, a few museums, and the Washington Monument, which sat half finished for decades until its capstone was finally placed in 1884. That all changed in 1902 with the adoption of the McMillan plan, which reimagined the National Mall as the centerpiece of the city and a vast, open, memorial and museum filled park. That's exactly what it has become today, with the creation of world renowned museums such at the Air and Space Museum, Hirshorn Museum, National Gallery of Art and Holocaust Museum, just to name a few, stunning memorials and monuments honoring famous Americans like Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, and Martin Luther King, Jr, and honoring veterans from wars including WWII, the Korean War and Vietnam. It's beautiful, wide open spaces attract tourists and locals alike, it has hosted some of the most famous marches and rallies in American history, was home to Martin Luther King's famous “I Have A Dream” speech, and draws 1.5 million visitors each year during the few short weeks at the beginning of spring for the stunning Cherry Blossom Festival. Let this episode be your guide as we travel to the National Mall and discuss its detailed history, including a deep-dive into 6 of its most iconic memorials and monuments, and discuss what it's like to visit this beautiful and quintessentially American space, including visiting, parking and travel information.Are you a fan of interesting facts?

In this episode of Walking History we discuss The Battle of Antietam, also known as The Battle of Sharpsburg, one of the most consequential battles of the American Civil War and the single bloodiest day in American history. We also take a look at what it's like to visit this extremely well-preserved battlefield today.  The Battle of Antietam took place on September 17th, 1862 in the Appalachian foothills of western Maryland, just across the border from Virginia. It resulted in almost 23,000 casualties and over 3,500 deaths, although the actual numbers are likely far higher, and lead President Lincoln to issue the Emancipation Proclamation. Want to jump ahead in this episode?Summary: 2:08Interesting Facts: 6:40Context of the Battle: 8:16The Battle: 31:26Aftermath of the Battle: 50:38Visiting the Battlefield Today: 59:58 In the weeks before the battle, more than 40,000 Confederate troops lead by General Robert E. Lee had made their way north into Union held Maryland and were pursued by almost 90,000 Union troops under the command of General George B. McClellan. Lee eventually positioned his forces in a somewhat precarious position near the town of Sharpsburg, Maryland, with his back to Potomac River. A master tactician, he knew the many faults of his opponent, and was willing to bet his smaller force could still win the day. McClellan positioned his forces north to south, opposite Lee's, across a small river called Antietam Creek, and set up to attack. Small-scale skirmishing occurred on the evening of September 16th, and early on September 17th the Union attack began in earnest. McClellan attacked first at the northern end of the line, and for hours Union forces bombarded Confederate troops in a bloodbath that left thousands dead and wounded. Unable to dislodge the Confederates, McClellan then sent his forces towards the center at what would become one of the most hallowed grounds on a Civil War battlefield, the Sunken Road, also known as the Bloody Lane. Finally, McClellan ordered attacks towards the south of the line where a small bridge crossed Antietam Creek. For hours thousands of Union troops were held back by only 500 Confederates who held the high ground across the river until Union troops finally broke through at 1pm. Almost in a position to outflank Lee's army and potentially cut them off from retreat, a Confederate force arrived at the last possible moment, stalling the Union advance and effectively ending the battle. Lee, outnumbered and battered, remained in his position the next day and then retreated back to Confederate held Virginia. McClellan, despite repeated pleas by Lincoln and the War Department, refused to pursue.The battle was a strategic victory for the North in that it stopped a Confederate invasion, but could have resulted with the complete defeat or capture of Lee's forces had McClellan acted more decisively or had a more competent commander been in charge. Seeing the battle as an important morale boost for the country, however, President Lincoln used the opportunity to issue one of the most famous and consequential statements in American history, the Emancipation Proclamation, changing the nature of the war and forever altering the course of US history. The Educator Podcast is hosted by Matt Douglas, former history teacher, longtime educator and life coach for teens and young adults.

In this deep and at times shocking episode of The Educator Podcast: Perspectives, I interview Union Representative and veteran high school Health and PE teacher Josh McGoun. We dive in and discuss the inexcusable disrespect the teaching profession has faced in America, the critical role teachers' unions play in public schools and the lives of teachers, the teacher retention crisis that is currently plaguing American public schools, the dramatic changes to the teaching of Health and PE in the past two decades, the effects of Covid on students, teachers, and education, and much more. This episode is a must-listen to anyone currently working or considering working in a public school, as well as anyone who is interested in improving the public school system in America, and provides a number of important action-items educators and even the everyday public can take to help advocate for and improve public education. Josh explains the central role teachers' unions play in American education and how their benefits are widely unknown or misunderstood, the dire need to address the teacher retention crisis – 47% of teachers leave the profession in the first few years, according to his research – and the top three reasons why new teachers resign.  He also explains just how dramatically the Health and PE field has changed, as long gone are the days of gym teachers leading dodgeball games just to pass the time that most of us grew up with. Josh loathes the term “gym teacher”, as now the field has radically professionalized to focus on student learning, teaching healthy habits, and discussing complex and often emotionally sensitive topics. We also discuss the Covid crisis and much more in this wide-ranging, and at times painful, but ultimately inspiring interview. Want to jump ahead in the episode?Teachers' Union Discussion: 6:00 Teacher Retention Crisis: 28:10 Top 3 Reasons Teachers Resign: 32:40 Changes in Health and PE: 41:00 Effect of Covid in Schools: 56:45  Josh McGoun is a veteran Union Representative and High School Health and PE Teacher who has spent the past 12 years of his education career at Howard High School in Howard County, Maryland.

In this episode of Walking History we talk about John Brown's Raid on Harpers Ferry, one of the most unique and bewildering events in American history, and one of the main catalysts for the Civil War which would start just a year and a half later. We also take a look at what it's like to visit this excellent historic site today. Want to jump ahead in this episode?Summary: 1:22Interesting Facts: 6:00Background: 7:52The Raid: 20:07Aftermath: 37:07Visiting Today: 45:00 John Brown's Raid on Harpers Ferry, West Virginia (then still part of Virginia) was an attempted slave insurrection lead by the infamous militant abolitionist John Brown, who had already become well known in the US for his prominent role in the pro-slavery versus anti-slavery violence that had already taken place in the Kansas Territory, called Bleeding Kansas. At the Raid on Harpers Ferry, late in the evening on Sunday, October 16th, 1859, John Brown led a group of 22 men, including 3 of his sons, to capture the United States Armory at Harpers Ferry, Virginia and the thousands of weapons stored there in order to ignite a slave rebellion.He horribly miscalculated, however, and by the afternoon of the following day he and his followers, along with many of the hostages they had captured, found themselves trapped in a small fire engine house surrounded by hundreds of angry citizens and militiamen. It would be Brown's last stand. Fighting ensued, ultimately leaving 5 townspeople and 10 of Brown's raiders dead and many more wounded. By Tuesday morning US Marines showed up, broke down the doors of the fire engine house using a ladder as a battering ram, and captured John Brown and his remaining raiders.But the story doesn't end there. John Brown, considered by most who had heard of him to be a madman, spent the next several weeks of his imprisonment giving interviews to anyone who would listen – Senators, Congressmen, reporters, and ordinary citizens. These interviews became widely publicized across the country and quickly began to affect the national consciousness, not just on perceptions of him but on opinions of slavery in general. He came across as  “truthful and intelligent” even to his enemies, and said of his actions, “I claim to be here in carrying out a measure I believe perfectly justifiable… to aid those suffering great wrong.”On November 2nd he was found guilty of treason, murder and inciting a slave insurrection, and sentenced to death. This appeared to be no problem for him, he had made clear, for “I have only a short time to live. Only one death to die, and I will die fighting for this cause. There will be no peace in this land until slavery is done for.”John Brown quickly became known in the South as a murderous villain, but for abolitionists he was a heroic martyr for their cause, and his words and actions convinced many in the North that violence might be the only way to end slavery. His actions helped force the question of slavery in the United States, and to this day he remains an enigma of a man, not easily definable or understood, but captivating nonetheless.A fan of interesting facts?

In this episode of The Educator Podcast: Perspectives I interview veteran High School teacher Rob Lieberman, who has taught at inner-city Trenton Central High School for the past 7 years. In this honest, raw and unfiltered interview we look behind-the-scenes at American inner-city high schools and discuss the life, successes and challenges these students, teachers and communities face every day. Rob Lieberman is a veteran educator and former lawyer who has spent the last 15 years working as a High School teacher, and the past 7 as an English teacher at the inner-city Trenton Central High School in Trenton, NJ. 68% of its students qualify for free lunches, and close to 30% of the population of Trenton, NJ, lives below the poverty line. In 2011 Schooldigger.com ranked the school 372nd out of 381 New Jersey public High Schools for academic achievement. Trenton Central High School made national news in 2013 for the “shocking” and “decaying” conditions of its building, prompting a complete rebuild of the school, which opened in 2019. But that only tells half the story, a story, in fact, that Americans tend to “expect” when hearing about inner-city schools. Trenton Central High School is also home to a variety of small learning communities, including Science and Engineering, Media, Performing Arts, Tourism, and Business. It boasts 30 clubs, its Boys Track indoor relay team won the state championships in 2007, 2008 and 2012, its Girls Basketball team won the state championship in 2002, 2007, and 2008, and its FIRST Robotics team were Regional winners in 2004 and 2008. And as we'll see, it is home to untold success stories, ones that might just shock and inspire you. The Educator Podcast is hosted by Matt Douglas, longtime educator and life coach for teens and young adults.

In this episode of Walking History we talk about the First Battle of Bull Run, also known as the First Battle of Manassas. The battle took place on July 21, 1861 near Manassas, Virginia, and was the first major battle of the Civil War. Tens of thousands of troops from both sides engaged each other in what began as a bloody, back and forth engagement that eventually turned into a complete rout of the Union forces. This battle is also home to two of the most unbelievable stories of the Civil War - listen in to find out what happened!Want to jump ahead in this episode?Summary of the Battle: 1:10Interesting Facts: 3:20Lead-up to the Battle: 7:48Course of the Battle: 16:45Visiting Today: 44:13 In The Educator Podcast: Walking History series we explore the history around us by actually walking it.

In this Episode of the Educator Podcast: How To, I interview longtime professional musician Francis Roberts, where we discuss the hidden details of the life of a professional musician and how to make a living in today's music industry. Have you always wanted to be a musician? Have you wondered how to make it happen? Are you just curious to learn what the real life of a musician is like? Join Francis and I for a fascinating, in-depth discussion of the realities of the music industry the way it really is, not how it's portrayed on tv and social media. We discuss everything from the dozens of ways you can make a living with music, how to get started whether you're a high school student or a working adult, the reality of drugs, alcohol and the day-to-day life of working musicians, and how to hold onto your passion while still earning a paycheck, even if it's just for fun. Francis' words of wisdom are deep, poignant, often hilarious and constantly surprising. You're sure to learn a lot, whether music is your life's calling or just a hobby you're starting to explore. Francis Roberts is a songwriter, singer, composer, multi-instrumentalist, producer and music teacher based in San Diego, CA. He is best known for his role as the vocalist, guitarist and primary songwriter for the bands Old Man Wizard and King Gorm and for his past role in the pirate-themed outfit The Dread Crew of Oddwood. He has produced and composed dozens of albums, worked on film scores, and runs his own YouTube channel.

In this episode of The Educator Podcast: Walking History we talk about the Battle of Ball's Bluff.The battle took place on October 21, 1861 at Ball's Bluff, Virginia, located on the edge of the Potomac River about 35 miles northwest of Washington DC at the edge of a bluff, or steep cliff, marked by rugged ravines to each side and a large, open field surrounded by forest above it. As we'll see, this terrain, which would initially play to the Union's advantage, would eventually spell its demise.  Want to jump ahead in the episode?Summary of the Battle: 1:25Interesting Facts: 2:45Lead-up to the Battle: 5:00Course of the Battle: 11:40Visiting Today: 35:25At the Battle of Ball's Bluff forces of nearly identical strength fought each other in what eventually became a total rout of the Union troops, resulting in over 1000 casualties, over half the Union force. A sitting United States Senator and longtime friend of President Abraham Lincoln was killed, the first and only time a member of congress has been killed in battle in American history. These dual losses lead to embarrassment and widespread concern in the North and had political ramifications that would be felt for the remainder of the war. It also helped make even clearer that this would not be the quick, painless war most Americans had initially expected, but one in which both sides were deeply entrenched, could last years, and would cause a brutal loss of life, widespread destruction, and massive social upheaval.  In The Educator Podcast: Walking History series we explore the history around us by actually walking it.

JackoLanternPress.com’s Michael Picarella and Tom Picarella celebrate the Sunday Movie Night with Matt Douglas and Greg Douglas from Nightmare365. The movie: “The ‘BURBS.” -Nightmare365 music is their own and by Kevin Macleod. More from Mr. Macleod at: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSZXFhRIx6b0dFX3xS8L1yQ “Spooky” music track at 01:48:09 is by Andrew G. Check out more of his work at: http://bit.ly/andrewg_portfolio SHOW HIGHLIGHTS: According to IMDb, it’s debated when the film actually takes place. Ray Peterson mentions how he doesn't want to sit in “holiday traffic” during his argument with Carol. During the scene when they break into Walter’s house out of concern for his well-being, you can clearly see a June, 1989 calendar hanging on the wall. We can assume the film takes place either the week of Memorial Day (Mon., May 29, 1989), or the week leading up to the July 4th, which fell on the first Tuesday of July.) The movie takes place over five days. Here are the two holiday scenarios: MEMORIAL DAY Opens Sun., May 28 with Ray witnessing strange happenings in basement. Mon., May 29 (everyone off, except Chemlawn truck folks, mention of holiday traffic) Tues., May 30 (trash day, go into Walter’s house, Walt ahead on the calendar in his house) Wed., May 31 (brownies) Thurs., June 1 (big day) FOURTH OF JULY Opens Sat., July 1 Sun., July 2 (everyone off, except Chemlawn truck folks, mention of holiday traffic) Mon., July 3 (trash day, go into Walter’s house, Walt behind on the calendar in his house) Tues., July 4 (brownies) Wed., July 5 (big day) Discussion Points & Further Research: -Real grave robbers: https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/culture/2012/oct/17/exhibition-grave-robbers-medical-science -Weather conspiracy theories: https://observer.com/2018/05/why-do-people-believe-in-weather-conspiracy-theories-like-chemtrails/ -Real life gateways to Hell: https://www.ranker.com/list/hellmouths-on-earth/harrison-tenpas -“Curse of the Demon” full movie: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x21hmso -Real succubus cases: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6198602/ -Real incubus story: https://www.amazon.com/Stalked-Demon-Real-Life-Encounters-Incubus-ebook/dp/B07H2S66FF -Nightmare365: Nightmare365.com -Monster Revolution Group on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/MonsterRevolution/ -Our Book: https://www.amazon.com/Transylveinya-Traveler-Monsters-Werewolves-Scientists/dp/1096544717/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=transylveinya+traveler&qid=1564620032&s=gateway&sr=8-1 -Pumpkin Hotline: 323-761-0276 For more info, go to JackoLanternPress.com

Fifth Sunday of EasterThe Spoken Word: “Milk & Maturity”Motherhood has changed a lot since most of us were born, but some things will always remain the same: such as the way newborn babies crave milk. 1 Peter 2 tells us to crave God’s spiritual milk, so that we may mature in faith.

Fourth Sunday of Easter“Keep Walking”It's the first bible verse many of us learned. It's so easy to remember: the Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want. And yet, when we're faced with challenges, it can be hard to remember: the Lord is our Shepherd, and he is a Shepherd we can trust.Scripture: Psalm 23 and John 10: 1-14 NIVBulletin flip book: View https://pubhtml5.com/homepage/ymvqView YouTube video: https://youtu.be/2KKGfVPQ3N8Episode participants: Rhonda Fowler, Michael Hubbard, Bobbi Smith, Alexandria Smith, James Cooper, Matt Douglas, Stephanie Jones, Crystal Carter, and Rev.

“Step by Step”With all that comes our way, it can be easy to lose sight of the Lord. The disciples walked with him and talked with him, and often failed to recognize his true power. What’s stopping you from seeing signs of the resurrection? What could help you recognize Christ at work in your life?Scripture: Luke 24: 13-35 NIVBulletin flip book: View https://pubhtml5.com/homepage/ymvq View YouTube video: https://youtu.be/1wzSkKlhsD8Episode participants: Rhonda Fowler, Michael Hubbard, Bobbi Smith, Alexandria Smith, James Cooper, Matt Douglas, Stephanie Jones, Crystal Carter, and Rev.

“Just Breathe”Everything begins with breath. Our lives began with God breathing into us. New life began with Christ breathing over us. As we combat an airborne illness by wearing masks and being hyper-conscious of the air we breathe, the Gospel of John reminds us of the healing power and peace that comes when the Risen Christ breathes the Holy Spirit among us.Scripture: John 20: 19-31 NIVBulletin flipbook: ViewEpisode participants: Bobbi Smith, Alexandria Smith, Audrey Whitley, James Cooper, Matt Douglas, Stephanie Jones, Crystal Carter, and Rev.

Dutch record producer Nicolay (born Matthijs Rook), does everything from writing, producing and engineering, to business battles and touring. You might know him best as one-half of The Foreign Exchange with Little Brother co-founder Phonte Coleman. I've been a personal fan of Nicolay's for over a decade and I was very honored to sit down and navigate through those years of being a bedroom producer who just moved to the U.S. leading up to now, which is a Grammy-nominated producer that's five albums deep and has earned a reputation for being one of the best live acts taking it to the stage. Speaking of which, his new album outside of the +FE moniker Glaciers, is talked about in length which features The Hot at Nights (guitarist Chris Boerner, Matt Douglas on woodwinds, and drummer Nick Baglio).Show Website: https://www.bedroombeethovens.comShow will be uploaded at 12 Midnight Central following show releaseFollow us on social mediaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/hlnfradionetworkTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/HLNF_BulletinInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/heartlandnewsfeedMastadon: https://liberdon.com/@heartlandnewsfeedDiscord: https://discord.gg/6b6u6DTSupport us with your financial supportStreamlabs: https://streamlabs.com/heartlandmediaPayPal: https://www.paypal.me/heartlandmediaSquare Cash: https://cash.app/$heartlandnewsfeedPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/heartlandnewsfeedCrypto via 1UpCoin: https://1upcoin.com/donate/heartlandmedia

Due to the happenings of Hopscotch, I only had a one hour show on September 10 but was happy to have the Small Ponds' Caitlin and Cary and Matt Douglas as guests on the program as we promoted their new album, Caitlin Cary & Matt Douglas Are The Small Ponds. The album was released the following week at the Pour House and currently the band is on tour up and down the East coast. We chatted about the history of the group, along with many other things. Matt and Caitlin are both amazing, hilarious guests, and the interview was one of my favorites.

Yesterday on the Local Beat, we were filled to capacity for our three hour show (a recap with interviews coming soon) and so I had to exclude one of the coolest shows next week, the Love Hangover, which is happening at the Pour House Music Hall in downtown Raleigh once more. However, because The Love Hangover is just this cool I decided to do a watered down, short version of the Local Beat, for podcast only. Caitlin Cary and Matt Douglas came in to play some tunes and chat while we got the creator of the Love Hangover, Richard Alwyn to call in from NYC to talk about the history of the show and it's many new incarnations across the United States.

Dan giving Chas a purple nurple in the WKNC studioGray Young called the studio during the latter part of the Battle Rockets conversation to let us konw that they'd been locked in the stairwell and unable to get in.  So we went and rescued them and brought them in for the second half of the interview.  They dispelled the self-contrived rumours that they're playing with U2 in October.  We discussed both bands' future plans, which include WE Fest.  Check out the interview with the entire cast of characters below.Now, onto the show that night.  The lineup at Slim's Downtown was this:Battle RocketsThe ProclivitiesGray YoungBattle Rockets were entertaining and have quite a bit of energy, and it's always fun to watch that level of energy coming from a two-piece.  The Proclivities were–and have been for a little while–sans drummer, so they had D.A.R.Y.L. fill in and rocked out as a two-piece (a very dapper two-piece, might I add).  Although the lack of a real drummer was sort of the elephant in the room (at the risk of using their song lyric), they were obviously having a good time, and so was I.  Matt Douglas was chatting the crowd up as well, as per usual.  Lastly, Gray Young took the stage around midnight.  I must say, I've seen Gray Young several times over the past year or so, and every time I've seen them they've been exponentially tighter (and on this night, louder).  It has been really fun to watch these guys as they play more shows together, and I can't wait to see them again at the May 22 Lemming Malloy CD Release/Neckbeard Records Debut show at Local 506.  That's all for now, be sure to tune in to the Local Beat this week, details to follow in another blog post soon…
