Before anything else, we felt we had to address the Charlie Kirk situation, with what happened to him, why it most likely happened, and what kind of a man Charlie was. This was disgusting anf reprehensible, and we can't just pretend that now is the time for love and togetherness with our foes… Wanna hear the FULL Episode? Sign up for the Grad Program today! Book Announcement Professor Markel announced that Nick Orr's new novella, "Mockingbird," in the Pipe Hitters Novel series, is available for pre-order on Amazon Kindle and will be released on September 15th. The conversation ended with the introduction of the show and its co-hosts. Firearms Training Home Study Program The professor explained the home study program, which provides structured learning materials including written, video, and testing content to prepare students for in-person firearms training. He emphasized that the program allows students to learn safety rules and techniques before arriving at the range, maximizing the time spent on practical training during the live session. Jarrad highlighted that the home study course covers specific techniques and tactics used in the training, giving students a head start on understanding expectations and allowing them to absorb instruction more quickly during the live session. Gun Safety and Emergency Training The meeting focused on a discussion about responsible gun ownership and emergency medical training. Professor Paul Markel shared his experience hosting a radio show with Tom Gresham and discussed his book "Beyond the Boo Boo," which covers traumatic medical training for citizens. John, a retired physician, called into the show to discuss the importance of stop-the-bleed training and shared his experience as a certified instructor. They emphasized the need for quick action in emergency situations and the simplicity of stop-the-bleed techniques, suggesting that anyone can learn to help save lives in the event of a shooting or other traumatic incident. Battery vs. Tritium Optics Discussion The discussion focused on the benefits and drawbacks of battery-powered versus nuclear-powered (tritium) optics, with Professor Markel explaining that while tritium sights offer perpetual power without battery changes, they are more expensive initially and have a limited lifespan of 8-9 years before needing professional refurbishment. Sonny Puzikas and the Role of Violence in Man's Life Jarrad sits down with the great Sonny Puzikas for a long discussion on life, faith, and what place that violence has in the world, as well as in a man's life. This is a fantastic interview that you don't wanna miss, and only members of the Grad Program will hear the full, uncut thing. So consider signing up today!

This week, Janet, John, (and Pen) explore something we all share and go through, the growing pains, teen angst, and tween heartache, memorably explored in these two award winning films. One examines what it's like moving to a new town finding it impossible to fit in, while the other explores the complexities of good and cruelty through the eyes of a young girl. Join us in celebrating these two amazing coming of age stories! To learn more about this episode and others, visit the official Cinema Sounds & Secrets website!
How much is a set of gold dentures worth? How many people have to die before this lovable American scoundrel in Havana and his lovely, smokey-voiced ward decide “will they or won't they?” Listen to find out!Gold Dentures, episode 137 of This Gun in My Hand, was crafted and gilded by Rob Northrup. This episode and all others are available on Youtube with automatically-generated closed captions of dialog. Visit http://ThisGuninMyHand.blogspot.com for credits, show notes, archives, and to buy my books, such as Sisyphus, Eat Your Heart Out, available in paperback and ebook from Amazon. How do I sound like someone from a foreign land? This Gun in My Hand! (Wait, I don't mean they fire guns more often. How could anyone have more guns than Americans? Never mind. This Gun in My Hand.)Show Notes:1. If you haven't heard the old time radio drama Bold Venture, you should give it a try. It ran from 1951-1952, starring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, set in pre-Castro Cuba.https://archive.org/details/OTRR_Bold_Venture_Singles2. The part of King Moses in Bold Venture was performed by Jester Hairston. One of the first black students to attend Tufts University, Hairston studied music at Julliard, collaborated with Russian composer Dmitri Tiomkin for 30 years, wrote the song “Amen” that became a hit for The Impressions in 1964, and acted in tv and films like The Alamo, To Kill a Mockingbird, In the Heat of the Night, I'm Gonna Git You Sucka and Being John Malkovich.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jester_Hairston3. Music for the Bold Venture radio show was composed by David Rose, who later wrote music for films and tv shows like Leave it to Beaver, Bonanza, Little House on the Prairie and Highway to Heaven. If you think of the jazzy trombone song that has become a cliche of burlesque, you're probably thinking of Rose's composition “The Stripper,” which hit #1 in 1962.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Rose_(songwriter)Credits:The opening and transitional music clips were from episodes of the public domain radio show Bold Venture. Closing music was from the public domain film Killer Bait (1949).

Am 30. August 1980 fand im damaligen West-Berlin vor dem Reichstagsgebäude ein ikonisches Konzert statt. Die Band Barclay James Harvest spielte ihr Konzert "Berlin (A Concert For The People)". Rund 175.000 Menschen kamen zu diesem ikonischen Open-Air-Konzert. Das Ereignis wurde nicht nur verfilmt, sondern 1982 auch als Livealbum veröffentlicht. Das Album erreichte in Deutschland die Spitze der Charts und durfte laut Meilensteine-Host Frank König damals in keiner Teenager-Plattensammlung fehlen. Zum Zeitpunkt des Konzerts war Berlin noch eine geteilte Stadt. West-Berlin entwickelte sich in den 1960ern und besonders in den 70ern zu einer musikalischen Brutstätte. Bekannte Künstler wie David Bowie und Iggy Pop hielten sich zu dieser Zeit in diesem Teil der Stadt auf. Im Ostteil sah es bekanntlich ganz anders aus. Westliche Musik war für den Osten unerreichbar und es durfte nur das gehört werden, was systemkonform war. Als mit Barclay James Harvest eine der erfolgreichsten Bands der Welt ein Konzert direkt an der Berliner Mauer spielte, war das deshalb ein sehr besonderer und symbolträchtiger Moment. Direkt vor dem Reichstagsgebäude spielten Barclay James Harvest Lieder wie "Berlin" und "In Memory Of The Martyrs". "In Memory Of The Martyrs" erinnert an die vielen Menschen, die bei ihrer Flucht über die Mauer ihr Leben verloren, während "Berlin" die Atmosphäre und das Lebensgefühl der geteilten Stadt einfängt. __________ Über diese Songs vom Album "Berlin (A Concert For The People)" wird im Podcast gesprochen: (05:04) – "Berlin"(09:49) – "In Memory Of The Martyrs"(15:50) – "Mockingbird" (1980 Berlin Live Version)(23:41) – "Life Is For Living"(26:03) – "Loving Is Easy"(29:30) – "Child Of The Universe"(35:00) – "Hymn"__________ Alle Shownotes und weiterführenden Links zur Folge: https://1.ard.de/barclay-james-harvest-berlin-a-concert-for-the-people __________ Ihr wollt mehr Podcasts wie diesen?

Without a very compelling reason, the brand could suffer mightily. The guys process through AffiniPay's name switcheroo to ‘8am', and Conrad shares insights on Mockingbird's upcoming refresh—a much more brand-friendly tactic for those looking to freshen up their presence in the marketplace.

Mike loves Tim Key. This much has been true for some time, and he's thrilled to discover that the comic poet's unique approach to wordplay and social interactions finds a natural place on the cinema screen, in the character of an eccentric lottery winner who lures his favourite folk duo, long since broken-up, to the lonely island on which he lives for a private gig. Tom Basden's singer-songwriter finds the forced reunion an unwelcome intrusion from his past, and so begins a comedy about grief, loss, loneliness, and rice. The plot is easily predicted, the visual nous close to absent, but it has a good heart and, in Key, an irresistably energetic, unusual central performance. It filled the Mockingbird with laughter and left us all feeling warm and cuddly and sad and happy. The Ballad of Wallis Island is a charming film, well worth watching. Recorded on 5th August 2025.

You have heard this SASF axiom: "A good dad can't be present in children's fiction." This is because if he was, there'd be no story for the kids to take care of -- BUT... there are a few exceptions... - Brian and Nate search for those elusive MG/YA unicorns: the good and present father. - What about To Kill a Mockingbird's Atticus Finch? Jeremiah Land from Peace Like a River? Guido in Life is Beautiful? In these stories, the good dad becomes the protagonist. - Uncle Frank in 100 Cupboards? Nate explains why he'd never call Uncle Frank a good father figure. - Heading further afield: what about Mustafa from The Lion King? Bandit from Bluey? Gomez Addams?? - Finally the guys turn to real life: Ralph Moody's father, Pa Wilder, Bible characters including Nate's pick for best dad in the whole Bible: Jesus's earthly father, Joseph.

“… the more I found that while it had established a rule and order, the chief aim of that order was to give room for good things to run wild.” G. K. Chesterton This week we feature a rebroadcast of a 2021 talk from our lower school head, Colin Gleason. Mr. Gleason addressed the topic of discipline using decades of experience in the Valley, converting the lessons he shares with his homeroom teachers into ideas for parents at home. Ultimately, his guidance is all about bringing a long-term vision and great love into our attitudes of discipline, willing the good for our boys with all earnest humility. Whether you're thinking the kitchen or the classroom, Mr. Gleason encourages us to foster a culture of respectful dominion.

In this explosive revelation, Tulsi Gabbard, former Congresswoman and now high-level intelligence official, drops a bombshell: Operation Mockingbird, the once-secret CIA program to control U.S. media through paid journalists and editors, was never shut down—it's still active today. Originally uncovered in 1977 by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Carl Bernstein, Mockingbird placed intelligence assets inside America's most trusted newsrooms to shape public opinion. Gabbard's discovery reignites scrutiny, revealing the continued use of coordinated messaging, disinformation, and propaganda across modern outlets—even implicating current government efforts to suppress her findings. As Gabbard fights to shut it down, figures like Sen. Tom Cotton move to strip her authority. If true, this may be the most significant media scandal in modern American history—and a turning point in the war over truth.

Send us a textIn today's episode, I am chatting with Jacqui Lents. Jacqui was born and raised in her beloved Michigan, where her life has meandered more like a lazy river than a high-speed expressway. Before settling into her career as a high school social studies etacher, she dabbled in at least fifteen different jobs—some more unusual than others. When she is not revinventing herself, Jacqui can be found throwing axes (responsibly), attempting to conquer her TBR pile, swimming in her loch, or hanging out with her husband of over twenty years, who has yet to flee despite her ever-evolving hobbies. Jacqui is the host of the award-winning podcast, Jacqui Just Chatters and we are here to tday to talk about her debut novel, The Daphne Project.This is Jacqui's first appearance on Bookish Flights as a published author (yay!), and we dive deep into the themes that inspired her book. We talk about what it means to become "vintage," embracing imperfections, personal growth, and the hard but transformative process of rediscovering your identity.Episode Highlights:Jacqui's journey from educator to author.What inspired The Daphne Project.The beauty (and humor) in becoming “vintage.”Reinvention and identity in midlife.Why real stories about real people matter.How teaching shaped her writing voice.
This week on NAFC, Windows 11 update... and still no one wants it. The crew shares their collective refusal while sidetracking into the mystery of Sister Hong (don't worry, it's as weird as it sounds). Gibbs gives his thoughts on Solo Leveling and whether it lives up to the anime hype, while Mox returns from ACGHK 2025 with tales of merch, crowds, and cosplay chaos. He also reviews Fantastic Four: First Steps, Marvel's latest attempt at relevance—does it stick the landing? Meanwhile, Izzy's one minor inconvenience away from actually killing a mockingbird. They wrap it up with a review of Fermat's Room (2007), where math becomes deadly and the tension's tighter than Gibbs' trust circle. Support us on Patreon!
Aaron Bartz brings a grounded, thoughtful energy to the role of Draco Malfoy in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, and in this conversation, he shares just how much life and imagination go into keeping the magic alive night after night. From flying and fire to illusions and high-stakes contingencies, Aaron walks us through what it's like to debut on Broadway in one of the most technically demanding plays out there—and why so many actors in the production come from classical Shakespeare backgrounds. We also explore Aaron's journey from Great Falls, Montana to the Lyric Theatre in NYC, including a pivotal classroom moment that set him on the path to acting, and how a love of storytelling (and a little persistence) helped him land gigs that ultimately led to an MFA from Yale. Now a father of two, Aaron reflects on how playing Draco as a parent has shifted his own understanding of growth, vulnerability, and legacy. Aaron Bartz is an actor and writer currently starring as Draco Malfoy in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child on Broadway. He earned his MFA from the Yale School of Drama and began his career with regional Shakespeare productions across the country. He toured nationally with the Montana Repertory Theatre in To Kill a Mockingbird, and his previous work includes Loves Labour's Lost, Macbeth, and other classical works.

Jordan is a devoted practitioner of the shamanic healing arts and a teacher dedicated to the medicine path. His initiations first came through a decade of gnostic studies in Asia. After confronting severe illness, Jordan shed a career as a producer to walk the road of personal transformation, finding his medicine in shamanic study of plants. trees, breath and fasting. The “plant dieting” practices of the Amazon have radically transformed Jordan's life, vision, health and purpose and come to him primarily through Cocama elder, William Llerena Murayari. After 7 years of mentorship under Apache elder, Iron Eagle Joe, Jordan received the name Mockingbird and was given the blessing to teach through ceremony. He carries a facilitator certification from Embodied Masculine granted under the supervision of Amir Khalighi. --- TOPICS WE COVER IN THIS EPISODE:
David Zahl's new book The Big Relief offers a mess of help for parents who are in urgent need of grace in this worn-out world. David will take some big theological concepts like justification, imputation, and surrender, and show how these terms are not just ideas, but solid truths that set parents free from the pressure to do it all, and do it all perfectly, for the kids they love. David Zahl is the director of Mockingbird Ministries and editor-in-chief of the Mockingbird website. David and his wife Cate reside in Charlottesville, VA with their three boys, where David also serves on the staff of Christ Episcopal Church. He is the author of numerous books, including Seculosity: How Career, Parenting, Technology, Food, Politics, and Romance Became Our New Religion and What To Do About It.

Can storytelling really transform the way we lead, connect, and communicate at work? In this episode, I'm joined by TEDx speaker, trauma-informed coach, and author of Meerbott's Fables, Kelly Meerbott. Inspired by none other than Dr. Seuss, Kelly's tales aren't just for bedtime—they're changing how leaders talk about tough topics like psychological safety, DEI, burnout, and inclusion. We unpack why storytelling hits so differently today, how it can cut through corporate noise, and why the ability to connect emotionally might just be the most underrated leadership skill of all. Whether you're a CEO or a storyteller-in-waiting remember, if they're not moved, they won't move. ----more---- Key Takeaways If they're not moved, they won't move – Leadership communication needs emotion, not just information. Stories break down resistance – Fables connect with people across neurotypes, roles, and belief systems. Say less, mean more – Jargon kills clarity. Simplicity and humanity create impact. Use story to spark discussion, not silence it – Good stories open space for reflection, disagreement, and growth. ----more---- Key Moments The key moments in this episode are: 0:00:10 – The problems with communication today 0:04:00 – Who is Kelly Meerbott?

In this episode of 'The Biggest Table,' I interview Dave Zahl, founder of Mockingbird Ministries and author of several books, including 'Seculosity' and 'Low Anthropology.' We delve into Dave's latest release, 'The Big Relief: The Urgency of Grace for a Worn-Out World,' discussing why grace remains a vital topic. Dave explains the continuous need for grace in a world that is often performance-driven and how his experiences and personal struggles informed his writings. The conversation touches on various aspects of grace, including its role in personal relationships, parenting, and religious life. Additionally, we explore the concepts of rest, play, and the stress induced by modern life's acceleration. The conversation concludes by discussing the joy and grace found in food, meals, and hospitality, reflecting on how shared meals and culinary experiences can bring grace and connection.David Zahl is the founder and director of Mockingbird Ministries, editor-in-chief of the Mockingbird website (www.mbird.com), and co-host of both The Mockingcast and The Brothers Zahl podcasts. He and his wife Cate live in Charlottesville, Virginia, with their three sons, where he also serves on the staff of Christ Episcopal Church. Zahl is the author of Seculosity: How Career, Parenting, Technology, Food, Politics, and Romance Became Our New Religion and What To Do About It and Low Anthropology: The Unlikely Key to a Gracious View of Others (and Yourself). His latest book, The Big Relief: The Urgency of Grace for a Worn-Out World came out in April 2025 from Brazos Press. His writing has been featured in The Washington Post, Plough, Christianity Today, and The Guardian, among other venues.

I'm joined by David Zahl, returning YHP guest and editor-in-chief of Mockingbird's online magazine. David is also a massive Beach Boys/Brian Wilson fan like myself, so I knew he would be perfect to talk with about what we know about Brian Wilson's personal faith and spirituality. We also celebrate what his music has meant to us personally, playing a lot of song clips along the way. This is a dual-feed episode on both the You Have Permission and Pretty Good Vibrations feeds because the content feels like it fits in both places. Brian Wilson passed away on June 11th. Although my attempt to have a strong line between the first half of the episode (more focused on his faith) and the second (mostly just focused on the music), things got a little blended up. Nonetheless, if you'd like to skip most of the faith/theology stuff, a good place to start listening is around the 60 min mark.

It's the third in our classics analysis series! To Kill a Mockingbird is one of America's favorite novels. Is it worth its weight in the public's love? Is Atticus Finch the hero we always thought, and does Go Set a Watchman call the novel's moralism into question?
