That dozen is not just the number of D-III players currently known to have received an invite to an NFL training camp, for sure. How big of a breakfast does it take to feed an NFL offensive lineman? What did new-old Franklin coach Mike Leonard do when he was away from coaching the Grizzlies for the past five years? And why does Illinois College coach Ray DeFrisco keep coming back, year after year? Those are some of the key questions getting asked and answered on this edition of the D3football.com Around the Nation Podcast. Plus ... This edition of the podcast is sponsored by GameStrat: The Most Reliable & Fastest In-Game Video Replay System on The Market. D-III football coaches should click here to learn more. No, seriously, that's a lot of eggs. How did Middlebury offensive lineman Thomas Perry get to where he is today, a workout legend and an All-American who got invited to the Baltimore Ravens minicamp? He also talks about his experiences with Julian Young, a linebacker at Colby who will also be going to the Ravens, plus the workout that helped start him well down the road to where he is today. At Franklin, Mike Leonard wasn't expecting to get his old office back, and that space has some new decorations that we talk about. Hear what kind of camp Leonard will be attending this offseason. And at Illinois College, the days of putting up 96 points in a game might be over, with the standout quarterback and wide receiver and the offensive coordinator all moving on, but the philosophy remains. Hear about that and the new names you'll hear this fall and more from IC coach Ray DeFrisco. Plus we talk about the NESCAC finally getting its chance to play in the playoffs -- even if it isn't until 2026. Will that attract more talented student-athletes to NESCAC schools? That's a question in our mailbag segment, and we also talk about the likelihood of radios in football helmets at the D-III level. Patrick and Greg cover it all in the latest edition of the D3football.com Around the Nation podcast.

Champ the Lake Champlain MonsterThis week we dive into the legend of Champ, the Lake Champlain Monster, exploring over 300 reported sightings dating back to 1609 when Samuel de Champlain claimed to witness a 20-foot serpent-like creature.We chronicle key evidence including Sandra Mansi's famous 1977 photograph, sonar readings capturing unusual shapes, and alleged echolocation recordings from cryptozoologist Katy Elizabeth.Throughout the episode, we discuss theories about whether Champ could be a prehistoric survivor like a plesiosaur or tanystropheus, citing Lake Champlain's substantial depth of 400 feet as a potential habitat. We also look at alternative explanations for the Lake Champlain cryptid, including large sturgeon (which can reach 27 feet), groups of otters swimming in formation creating a serpentine illusion, or partially submerged logs moved by underwater currents called seiches.Patreon: Support Believing the Bizarre and get tons of extra content by joining our Patreon.For updates, news, and extra content, follow Believing the Bizarre on social media:InstagramFacebookTwitterDiscordShop Merch: You can rep Believing the Bizarre and buy some unique merchWant to send BTB something?

“Their white classmates can read Harry Potter and relate to going to Hogwarts and flying on brooms. But a Black kid can't aspire to go to Paris, which can actually happen.” – Jerry CraftGrowing up, Jerry Craft did not enjoy reading. He says he simply never encountered a children's book that intrigued him enough or felt right. But Jerry loves defying expectations, and so naturally, the boy who rarely set foot in a library grew up to become a celebrated children's book author and illustrator. He has made defying expectations—and breaking stereotypes—a guiding principle in his storytelling. Jerry Craft is a New York Times bestselling author and illustrator, best known for “New Kid,” the first graphic novel to win the Newbery Medal. “New Kid,” along with the subsequent books in the three-part series—“Class Act” and “School Trip”—were groundbreaking for middle-grade literature, especially the power of graphic novels. While many of us may know and love Jerry's more recent graphic novels, his road to those books was winding and unexpected.  In this episode, Jerry tells us about the one teacher who finally found the secret to inspiring him, explains how being a Black comic strip creator was a lot like the movie Highlander, and ponders whether his dad's night shifts might be the reason he still works best at 3 AM.Settle in for an episode filled with wry humor and the colorful stories of Jerry Craft's journey to becoming a beloved author for students and teachers alike!***Jerry curated a group of graphic novels for his reading challenge, How It Started, How It's Going. These graphic novels chronicle his own journey as a creator—from the books that inspired him to those that helped forge his path and finally to those for which he laid the groundwork. Learn more and download Jerry's reading challenge at thereadingculturepod.com/jerry-craft***This episode's Beanstack Featured Librarian is Laurie Schalliol, media specialist at Heritage Intermediate School in Middlebury, Indiana.

What does it mean to live a 'good life'?For centuries philosophers, theologians, and psychologists have explored this question.Arguing primarily that there are two distinct paths to living well.The first might be casually thought of as sex, drugs, and rock and roll. Choosing pleasure as our primary pursuit - building our life around a simple equation:The more pleasant experiences we have, the better life is. The second path is the pursuit of a meaningful life. Choosing to craft our lives, and our work in ways that lead to a greater sense of purpose, and fulfillment. The reality is, there are strong arguments behind the benefits of taking either path,And when you combine the two it may be an even more potent recipe for a life well lived. But what if these answers are incomplete? If all we need is more happiness or meaning, why aren't more of us achieving that truly “good” life? Today's guest, Philosopher and popular Middlebury professor Dr. Lorraine Besser is shedding light on the missing third piece in our search for the Good Life—what researchers refer to as psychological richness. And what Lorraine calls The Interesting.In today's conversation we will take a deep dive into Lorraine's work and her beautiful new book - The Art of the Interesting: What We Miss in Our Pursuit of the Good Life and How to Cultivate It,We'll explore how interesting experiences captivate our minds, engage our thoughts and emotions, and often change our perspective.   And how ultimately when we choose to take the path of interesting experiences we live a fuller and more satisfying life. For more on Lorraine, and The Art of the Interesting, please visit Lorrainebesser.comDid you find today's episode inspiring?

How to destress college students? Marc Prensky knows, he is an advocate for new and better ways of preparing all the 2 billion young people in the world—ways that better fit today's young people and the world they live in. 20 years ago, his term "digital natives" re-framed an entire generation. Marc now applies his reframing skill —honed at the Boston Consulting Group—to all things related to young people. With new technology and AI, third millennium young people are becoming enormously powerful. His latest book, THIRD MILLENNIUM KIDS, explains what is missing from today's education—imagination, self-knowledge and real-world accomplishment—and what kids need most—far more enthusiasm and far less stress. Marc holds degrees from Harvard, Yale, Middlebury, and Oberlin. In his keynotes and consulting, Marc offers new, refreshing takes on THIRD MILLENNIUM YOUNG PEOPLE. He adds "Measurable Positive Impact'"—a term I coined—to each of my projects, engagements, clients, and keynotes. In episode 514 of the Fraternity Foodie Podcast, we find out why Marc decided on Oberlin for his undergraduate experience, how we can let Third Millennium Kids make the world a better place, why he uses Third Millennium Kids over Gen Z, why it is a mistake to take their phones away, where the term "Digital Natives" came from, how we can destress college students, why AI is so important in the hands of Third Millennium Kids, how society can better respect and listen to Third Millennium Kids, and what are Symbiotic Human Hybrids.
