Yu-Gi-Oh!, along with Magic: The Gathering and Pokemon, is one of the original big 3 trading card games.  Starting its life as a Manga, then a tv series, the story about the card game eventually became a card game.  Since then Yugioh has morphed through many different iterations and is still going strong today, even if its present self doesn't have much to do with its humble beginnings. Nestled right in between the birth of the card game and the current format is Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's World Championship 2011: Over the Nexus.  It's an interesting middle child of the franchise for many reasons - it builds off previous games in the franchise while still being primarily a single player game.  Its format at full power makes the decks of yesteryear look like a joke, but would get trounced by anything played today.  It boasts a truly absurd card pool of ~4300 cards, and they're shockingly mostly coded correctly.So, is it worth going back to a different time and place to play some single player Yu-Gi-Oh?  Or is this weird slice of history more of a curio to look back on and never experience?On this episode, we discuss:IdentityWhat exactly is the identity of Yu-Gi-Oh! compared to other trading card games like Magic or Hearthstone?  What does it excel at, and where is it at its weakest?  How does the game actually play out, with its extra deck and high consistency tutors?DeckbuildingHow viable is it for the player to build their own deck from scratch?  How well does the UI facilitate both experimenting with ideas, and finding cards that synergise together?  Do enemy decks give you inspiration and options, or are they generic and copy pasted?Progression SystemsHow do you unlock the cards required to build your decks?  Are unlocks intelligently seeded throughout your playthrough to give you a gradual increase in power?  Is it satisfying to gradually build a deck up from its basic roots, or is it too difficult to acquire key cards?We answer these questions and many more on the 135th episode of the Retro Spectives Podcast!--Intro Music: KieLoBot - Tanzen KOutro Music: Rockit Maxx - One point to anotherYugioh 2001 OST: Miki Murai, Kazuma Jinnouchi, Yasuhita Iso--Is there a better Yugioh video game out there that we somehow missed on?  What other single player card games, retro or modern, are worth our time?  Are you a fan of card games on motorcycles?  Come let us know what you think on our Community Discord Server!You can support the show monetarily on our Buy me a Coffee Page!

One of the most impressive breweries you'll find in the glorious province of Ontario is Beamsville's Bench Brewing. Nestled right along King St. on the famous Niagara wine route, their imposing campus is a beacon of beer in a land of grapes. Founder Matt Giffen joined Cee to chat about his origins in the beer business, his time overseas and the impact on his beer journey, why he chose the Niagara wine region for his brewery, their dedication to sustainability with their impressive (and complex) waste reduction and energy capturing systems, their expansion into cider, wine, non-alcoholic and Ready-To-Drink products, their purchase of Ace Hill and Liberty Village Beverage Co., their rebranding and refocus on their clean beers, and what happened to the funk side. They got into six killer Bench brews: Ball's Falls Session IPA, Short Hills Hazy IPA, Hamilton Tiger-Cats Lager, Van Life Mexican Lager, Ripple Effect Pale Ale, and Berry Fields Fruit Sour. This was super enlightening - cheers! BAOS Podcast Subscribe to the podcast on YouTube | Website | Theme tune: Cee - BrewHeads

As the capital of the world's largest democracy, Delhi embodies the essence of modern India – a vivid paradox of old and new, rich and poor, foreign and familiar. It's been fourteen years since my last visit and the economic transformation is ever-present. High rises, swanky malls and residential colonies housing the booming middle-class are mushrooming everywhere. As my engaging Wendy Wu Tours guide Girish remarked, as we were whisked into the city from the airport, “Delhi is more than a mere city, it has morphed into the national capital region.” With the metropolitan population now nudging 30 million, Delhi is a megalopolis and on-track to becoming the world's most populous city in three years' time. Our hotel was in New Delhi, the more modern, planned city within a city, that was built by the British in 1911 and replaced Kolkata as the national capital, twenty years later. In a city notorious for its air pollution, which is supposedly steadily improving, one of the great paradoxes of New Delhi is that it's also swathed in a sprawling green canopy. It's arguably the greatest legacy from British rule, because the new city was deliberately, meticulously planned to be nestled within a vast green cover, fanning out from Connaught Place on those broad long avenues. Large-canopy trees like banyans, mango, and pilkhans were selected by the British, while indigenous trees ideally suited to the climate have added to the canopy in recent decades. That sprawling tree cover is certainly a godsend from the fierce Delhi heat. Delhi's contradictions abound. You'll still see working elephants trudging along traffic-clogged roads, as fire-engine red Ferraris zip by. Handwritten posters singing out, “Customs confiscated goods sold here,” still compete next to glossy fashion billboards for Gucci and Prada. It's all part of Delhi's curious fabric. The city is littered with so many crumbling tombs and ruins, most of them are not even on the tourist map. But if you are a first-timer to the city, signature sights include marvelling at the sheer grace of the soaring Qutb Minar Tower. It was built 800 years ago by the Turkish Slave King Qutb-ud-din Aibak to celebrate his victory over the Hindu Rajputs. Wander through the sculptural Jantar Mantar, a huge, open-air astronomy observatory built in 1725 by Jai Singh, creator and ruler of Jaipur. Admire the 16th-century garden tomb of Mughal Emperor Humayun, precursor to the Taj Mahal, which was built by Humayun's great-grandson. Over in Old Delhi, two Mughal-era masterpieces, the imposing Red Fort (which was the Mughal seat of power for 200 years) and Jama Masjid, India's largest mosque. Both sandstone show-stoppers are definitely worth exploring. The mosque was commissioned by Shah Jahan in 1656 and it took 5000 labourers 6 years to complete. Within its hallowed walls lie sacred relics like Prophet Muhammad's hair. Beyond ticking-off the capital's great monuments, heading to Old Delhi is like a journey back in time. The beating, chaotic, carnival-like heart of Old Delhi is Chandni Chowk, Delhi's 400 year old marketplace that was built by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan. The market has been redeveloped to tame some of the chaos, including some fully pedestrianised streets and non-motorised transport lanes. But as I gazed at the spaghetti-like tangle of street wiring that garlands the crowded market lanes, there's no denying the ramshackle, faded glory feels amid this pulsating hot-spot of old-school commerce. Be sure to get your fill of jalebis from a street food vendor. Made from a deep-fried spiral-shaped wheat flour batter, which is then soaked in a sugar syrup, a plate of piping hot, crispy, sticky jalebis is a very satisfying sugar hit. We enjoyed a classic rickshaw ride through the throng of traders, shoppers and wandering cows, all heaving in those pencil-thin lanes. Girish also led us through the Khari Baoli Spice Market in Chandni Chowk, positively bulging with so many spices, nuts, herbs, pickles, preserves, rice and teas. Renowned as Asia's largest wholesale spice market, it's an aromatic head-blast. Shops and stalls bulge with heaping mounds and baskets of over a hundred different spices, headlined by turmeric, cardamom, coriander, star anise, ginger and cumin. Just as they have for hundreds of years, shoppers, dealers and chefs converge here every day to haggle and hustle. Many vendors have been peddling their wares for generations. Dawdle too long in front of a stall, and traders with huge sacks of chilis or cardamom pods will soon bump you out of their way. One of the oldest and tidiest shops is Mehar Chand and Sons. They've been in business since Queen Victoria ruled over them. And it's a great place to stock up on packaged spices, tea and saffron. Anshu Kumar, who is part of the family that has owned the shop since its inception, tells me that one of their biggest sellers with international visitors is turmeric, powered by the world's booming love-affair with this powerful superfood and supplement. (Their packaged products are allowed in New Zealand – just be sure to declare them.) Heading back to the hotel, we also stopped by the Indian parliament and sized up the monolithic might of India Gate. Designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens, this monstrous landmark is more than just a stunning feat of architecture—it's a poignant memorial to the 70,000 Indian soldiers who laid down their lives during World War I and the Third Anglo-Afghan War. Beautifully illuminated after sunset, street food vendors and ice cream carts line the area, swathed in sprawling lush gardens. The great thing about a Wendy Wu Tours private holiday is that you have complete flexibility over how much temple-touring and sightseeing you want to do. Equipped with your own driver and guide, it's a stress-free way to tackle Delhi. The itinerary can be as active or as laid back as you are, with full flexibility over included meals and excursions. You'll be in the best of hands with Wendy Wu Tours. www.wendywutours.co.nz/india Nothing beats retreating to a leafy oasis of eminent comfort and style after a hot, sticky day intrepidly gorging on the city sights. Nestled along the tree-lined boulevards of Connaught Place, Shangri-La Eros New Delhi, is a five-star hotel with serious wow-factor. From the moment you step inside the grand art-filled lobby, you know you are somewhere special. Service is swift, sparkling, flawless and convivial. It's the epitome of affordable luxury, with sharply-priced room rates that won't blow your budget. Push the boat out and lock in a Horizon Club room or suite. That will give you access to the hotel's cherry on top, the 19th floor Horizon Club lounge, allowing you a quick check-in, breakfast, evening cocktails and light bites. Plus panoramic views of the city's skyline. The hotel's arsenal of dining venues is very impressive. Head to Mister Chai for some authentic Indian street food coupled with flavoured tea and coffee. There is Tamra serving European, Japanese, Indian, Thai and Southeast Asian fare from live kitchens. “Lavish” doesn't do justice to the expansive array of buffet options at Tamra for breakfast. Sorrento specialises in Italian food with a contemporary twist and Shang Palace offers flavours of Sichuan, Cantonese and Yunnan cuisines. This is a signature dining venue in Shangri-La hotels and Shang Palace is widely feted as the world's most loved Chinese specialty restaurant. Dining here was divine, noshing on prawn dumplings with caviar; Xinjiang spice twice cooked baby lamb ribs; and the Cantonese BBQ platter. Shang Palace is a must. Celebrating it's 20th birthday this year, Shangri-La Eros is not the sort of hotel to rest on its laurels. And with wellness offerings continuing to be increasingly sought after, the hotel recently unveiled a wealth of enticing new amenities. The Wellness Club boasts offers over 4,000 square feet of world-class fitness space, advanced recovery therapies, a 100-feet outdoor swimming pool, salon, spa, and a calming hydrothermal zone featuring a cold plunge, Himalayan salt sauna, whirlpool, and steam. What more could you want for personal pampering? The Wellness Club seamlessly blends conscious luxury with modern wellness. Designed by Dubai's Stickman Tribe, Dubai, the interior is bathed in natural hues and hand-painted art. Calming music sets the tone for a serene escape with gilded details and reflective surfaces lending a touch of grandeur to the venue. The Spa has become a runaway hit with custom-crafted amenities to indulge the senses. Signature rituals include the Taste of India Retreat, Signature Indulgence, and a Couple's Serenity Bath, crafted to nourish the body and calm the mind. But my favourite hotel feature is the enormous new pool. Tranquil corridors lead you outdoors to the gloriously leafy green space, crowned with that magnificent pool and elegant sun loungers. As black kites circled high above in the sky, and mischievous rhesus macaques swung between the trees – much to the annoyance of nesting rose-ringed parakeets, marinating myself in the hotel's glorious pool became a rinse-and-repeat prize draw. www.shangri-la.com From New Zealand, it's just a one-stop connection to a multitude of destinations in India, including New Delhi, with Singapore Airlines, on their various daily services from Auckland and Christchurch to Singapore.

Nestled amongst the hills of Minas Gerais, its residents reported encounters with a bizarre, non-human creature, an event that would draw global attention, military involvement, and decades of speculation.

First, we sit down with **Kay**, an experiencer who has spent much of her life encountering the unexplained.

Her stories blur the line between the physical and spiritual worlds, and her honesty and calm reflection will make you question what truly lies beyond the veil. Kay's encounters serve as a reminder that sometimes, the most chilling hauntings aren't found in abandoned buildings — they happen to everyday people living ordinary lives. Then, we shift from personal experiences to a chilling location that has captured the attention of investigators everywhere. **Derek from Eternal Paranormal** joins us to discuss his team's research into a deeply haunted location known as the **Sanctum of Souls**, an abandoned church that holds a reputation for intense supernatural activity. From unexplained chanting and shadow masses to the unnerving feeling of being watched, this church has become a magnet for investigators seeking answers to the mysteries of the afterlife.

Throughout the episode, Jennifer and Joe reflect on how locations like Rock Island Roadhouse and Sanctum of Souls seem to serve as crossroads between worlds — where emotion, energy, and spirit collide. We also talk about what makes these haunted gatherings so special: the community of believers, skeptics, and seekers who come together to share stories, evidence, and experiences that defy explanation. Whether you're a seasoned investigator, a curious listener, or someone who has experienced the unexplainable yourself, this episode is sure to keep you captivated. As always, we invite you to listen with an open mind and remember — not every haunting happens in the dark; sometimes, the most profound experiences occur in the light of day among those brave enough to share them.

The Cecil Hotel has been called cursed, haunted, and deadly—here's the shocking truth behind Los Angeles' most infamous hotel.

Nestled in Los Angeles' Skid Row, it became infamous for suicides, murders, serial killers like Richard Ramirez and Jack Unterweger, and the mysterious death of Elisa Lam. From “Pigeon Goldie's” unsolved murder to Elisa's chilling elevator footage and conspiracy theories about the Elevator Game, paranormal activity, and even government cover-ups—the Cecil's story is filled with tragedy and unanswered questions.

Nestled in the piney woods of East Texas is a mystical sanctuary filled with love, connection to Mother Nature, and a secluded safe place to connect to God. Kevin Schmidt, and his family, donated this amazingly beautiful sanctuary to anyone who resonates with the messages of using the tools we have to practice the arts of communication; developing inner wisdom and peace; meditation; communing with nature; and connection to God. The wonderful sanctuary is The Mystics Of Texas. Where some of the goals are to practice the lack of judgment; to aid each other spiritually, emotionally, connection to our energetic food sources (know your food), and promote bodily health.

Nestled in the heart of Winchester, Virginia, the Museum of the Shenandoah Valley (MSV) is more than just a repository of art and history—it's a vibrant, ever-evolving community hub. In this episode of “The Valley Today,” host Janet Michael sat down with Julie Armel, the museum's Deputy Director of Marketing and Communications, to uncover the stories, exhibits, and people that make the MSV a regional treasure. The conversation opens with a sense of homecoming, as Janet recalls her long-standing relationship with the museum and marvels at its transformation over the past two decades. Julie offers listeners a sweeping overview: the MSV spans nearly 200 acres, featuring the largest green space and only working farm within Winchester's city limits. Visitors can explore formal gardens, the historic Glen Burnie House, and a dynamic galleries building that tells the story of the Shenandoah Valley through permanent and rotating exhibitions. One of the museum's standout features is its commitment to change and innovation. Julie describes the ever-shifting landscape of outdoor exhibits, from the whimsical “Gardens of Glass” to the current showstopper: “Scraposaurs,” a collection of giant prehistoric creatures crafted from scrap metal. These imaginative sculptures, including a T-Rex with John Deere rotary hoe teeth and a triceratops built on a Chevy truck frame, delight families and art lovers alike. The MSV's trails double as an art park, dotted with sculptures from local and internationally renowned artists, ensuring that every visit offers something new. Accessibility and community engagement are at the core of the MSV's mission. Julie highlights programs like “Museums for All,” which provides free admission to families on food assistance, and special events such as Dino Con, where dinosaur-themed attire earns free entry. The museum also offers free gallery admission on Wednesdays and always welcomes children under 12 at no charge. Volunteers play a vital role, contributing thousands of hours to events like Garden Lights, a spectacular annual display of LED flowers and immersive art that draws crowds from across the region. Inside, the museum's galleries are equally dynamic. Janet and Julie discuss recent and upcoming exhibitions, including a Frida Kahlo photography show and “Curated Chaos,” which offers a rare glimpse into the museum's collection storage. The MSV's educational programming is robust, with teen art clubs, workshops, and interactive activities designed to engage visitors of all ages and backgrounds. The museum's makerspace invites creativity, while membership programs and volunteer opportunities foster a sense of belonging and shared purpose. Throughout the conversation, a recurring theme emerges: the MSV is a place where history, art, and community intersect. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a longtime supporter, the museum offers a welcoming space to learn, create, and connect. As Julie notes, “There's something for everyone here.” With its blend of tradition and innovation, the Museum of the Shenandoah Valley stands as a testament to the power of cultural institutions to enrich and inspire their communities.

In Episode 56 of Healthcare Horrors, we dive into a pop culture icon in the horror industry (that supposedly has really good meatloaf). A place that has countless ghost stories and was the birthplace to one of the most iconic horror novels of all time. Nestled in Estes Park, Colorado, this historic hotel is more than just a picturesque getaway—it's a hotspot for paranormal activity and creative inspiration.   Over the years, the Stanley Hotel has gained a reputation as one of the most haunted locations in the United States. Guests and staff have reported unexplained piano music, the smell of roses, and sightings of the deceased Freelan Stanley himself alongside his wife, Flora.   In 1974, a young Stephen King and his wife stayed at the Stanley Hotel right before the off-season. They were the only guests in the massive building, and the eerie atmosphere left a lasting impression on King. That night, he had a vivid nightmare about his young son being chased through the hotel's halls. When he woke up, the idea for The Shining was born. This novel became a turning point in King's career, solidifying his place as one of the greatest horror authors of all time.   The Stanley Hotel is more than just a historic landmark—it's a symbol of how places can hold stories, both real and imagined. From its origins as a health retreat to its role in inspiring one of the most famous horror novels ever written, the Stanley Hotel continues to captivate visitors and storytellers alike.   Pop open a can of pumpkin ale with us because whether you're a history buff, a ghost story enthusiast, or a Stephen King fan, this episode has something for everyone.

Nestled along Mexico's Pacific coast, David Leventhal's Playa Viva is redefining hospitality through a radical commitment to regenerative design. More than just a boutique hotel, it's a living ecosystem where architecture breathes, nature flows freely, and every material tells a story of sustainability.Imagine waking in a treehouse suspended among palm trees, with no doors or windows—just an uninterrupted connection to the landscape. This is Leventhal's vision: hospitality that doesn't just minimize environmental impact, but actively regenerates it.The resort's structures are poetry in natural materials. Bamboo "bones" form parabolic roofs, carefully woven and raised by hand. Shower floors become canvases of meticulously placed pebbles, each stone positioned with artisan precision. Wall pigments are sourced locally—rich oranges and browns extracted directly from mountain landscapes, mixed with unconventional ingredients like hay, horse manure, and even turtle eggshells."We're not just building rooms," Leventhal explains, "we're creating experiences that transform how humans interact with environment."This transformation begins with radical design choices. Solar panels provide 100% off-grid electricity. Air conditioning is minimised, with innovative systems like the "Evening Breeze" technology cooling only specific areas. The goal isn't comfort through separation, but comfort through connection.The resort sits on 200 acres of regenerating landscape, including a critical turtle sanctuary. Local community members—many former poachers—now protect endangered turtle species, releasing hatchlings at dawn under careful supervision.The broader ReSiMar project demonstrates Leventhal's systemic approach to ecological restoration. Starting from mountain headwaters and extending to the coastline, this watershed regeneration initiative has already documented remarkable recoveries, including recent jaguar sightings in the Sierra Madre Mountains.What makes Playa Viva revolutionary isn't just its sustainable infrastructure, but its philosophical approach. Each design decision emerges from deep respect for place—understanding geological, anthropological, and ecological histories before a single structure is built.Guests aren't passive observers but active participants in this regenerative narrative. Yoga retreats, farm experiences, and community engagement transform vacationing from consumption to connection. The resort's B-Corp certification and recent Michelin keys underscore its commitment to excellence through ecological integrity.Leventhal's background in media and technology might seem an unlikely pathway to ecological design. Yet his journey reveals how personal transformation drives systemic change. "Change happens little by little," he reflects, "until it happens all at once."This philosophy permeates every aspect of Playa Viva. The manta ray-inspired treehouses, the infinity casita with its locally sourced manufactured wood, the organic farm—each element represents a deliberate choice to work with, not against, natural systems.For travellers seeking more than a temporary escape, Playa Viva offers a glimpse of possible futures. Here, luxury isn't about isolation and excess, but about deep, meaningful engagement with living landscapes.As climate challenges intensify, Leventhal's model provides a compelling blueprint. Regenerative design isn't a luxury—it's a necessity. By reimagining hospitality as a collaborative dance with ecological systems, Playa Viva demonstrates that sustainable travel can be both profoundly beautiful and transformative.The resort whispers an essential truth: humans aren't separate from nature, but integral participants in complex, interconnected living systems. And in that understanding lies our most profound opportunity for healing—one treehouse, one turtle, one thoughtfully placed pebble at a time.https://www.playaviva.comhttps://oceanfdn.org/projects/la-tortuga-viva/Have a listen to the podcast we did with Louis Thompson, partner of Nomadic Resorts mentioned by David.

Send us a textAs communities across America grapple with tension and uncertainty, Montgomery County's 11th annual Friendship Picnic offers a powerful antidote to division. Nestled under the canopy of trees at Wheaton Regional Park, residents from all walks of life gather to celebrate what connects us rather than what separates us."Whatever happens around us here in Montgomery County, we're going to make it work across our various diverse lines, across cultural lines, across religious lines," declares Jim Stowe, Director of the Office of Human Rights and driving force behind the event. His vision of Dr. King's "beloved community" isn't just rhetoric—it's being lived out through food, music, and genuine human connection.The magic of the picnic lies in its simplicity: "Zero drama, 100% fun, 100% food, 100% music." Children form instant friendships at the reptile petting zoo while adults sample unfamiliar cuisines and engage in conversations that go beyond superficial greetings. County Council members, public safety officials, and department representatives mingle with residents, breaking down barriers between government and the people it serves.When asked why friendship matters, responses range from the profound to the practical. "Friendship is the family we choose for ourselves," reflects a visitor from New York. "We learn together and we grow together." A young boy offers the simplest truth: "Without friendship we would all be lonely."In these divided times, the Friendship Picnic stands as a testament to what's possible when we focus on our shared humanity. As County Councilmember Andrew Friedson puts it, the event shows "hope at a time of despair" and demonstrates "what belonging and community really looks like."Join us next September for this annual tradition that reminds us all: in Montgomery County, we're making community work, one friendship at a time.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! Some homes have a presence so strong that time cannot erase it. The McPike Mansion is one of those homes. Nestled in Alton, Illinois, this historic house has earned a reputation as one of the most haunted mansions in America. Abandoned for years, the property fell into disrepair, yet its energy never faded. When Sharon, the current owner, took on the enormous task of restoring the estate, she quickly realized she was not alone. Whispers, shadows, and unseen presences revealed themselves to her as she poured her heart into bringing the mansion back to life. But Sharon does not see the spirits as intruders. Instead, she views them as residents who never left, caretakers of the past still tied to their beloved home. Paranormal investigators Don and Laney of Spectrewaves have stepped inside McPike Mansion and experienced the phenomena firsthand. From unexplained footsteps to intelligent interactions, the spirits here seem to linger with intent. But who are they? Former owners? Servants? Or entities that predate the mansion entirely? The mysteries of McPike Mansion continue to grow with every investigation. Some claim the activity is residual—echoes of moments replaying endlessly. Others believe the entities are very much aware, conscious spirits who still take part in the life of the home, refusing to be forgotten.

Nestled in the heart of Berryville, the Barns of Rose Hill stands as a beacon for arts, culture, and community connection. In this episode of “Tourism Tuesday,” host Janet Michael talks with Martha Reynolds, the Executive Director of the Barns, to discuss the organization's bustling calendar and the vital role it plays in the region. The conversation opened with excitement for the upcoming ShenArts member exhibition, a beloved annual event that showcases the creativity and diversity of local artists. This year's theme, “Rooted,” promises both literal and metaphorical interpretations, with works spanning woodworking, photography, painting, and more. Martha emphasized the importance of these exhibitions in providing visibility for artists and fostering a sense of community, especially with the recent opening of an artist co-op downtown, which is expected to further enrich the local arts scene. Beyond visual art, the Barns of Rose Hill is a hub for a wide array of programming. Janet and Martha discussed the eclectic open mic nights, where talents of all ages and genres—from rap and memoir readings to classical guitar—take the stage. Trivia nights, a collaboration with the Clarke County Historical Association, have become so popular that advance registration is now required. The Barns also hosts film screenings with a purpose, such as the upcoming documentary “Taking Care,” which highlights dementia awareness and caregiver support in partnership with local organizations. Music lovers have much to look forward to, with performances ranging from Celtic folk duos and roots rock guitarists to bluegrass legends and tribute shows honoring icons like Patsy Cline, Joan Baez, and Joni Mitchell. Martha shared how these concerts not only entertain but also bridge generations, keeping the spirit of American folk music alive and relevant. A significant portion of the conversation focused on the Barns' endowment campaign, now in its final year. Martha explained how the campaign, bolstered by a generous matching grant, aims to secure the organization's future by building a fund that supports essential operating costs. She highlighted the collective power of community giving, noting that every donation—no matter the size—contributes to the sustainability of the arts in Berryville. The episode wrapped up with a look at upcoming fundraisers, including a new “Bubbles and Brunch” event featuring local wine and jazz, and a reminder that the Barns' website and social media channels are the best sources for event information. Through it all, Martha's passion for the arts and her gratitude for community support shone through, underscoring the Barns of Rose Hill's mission: to be a place where creativity flourishes, connections are made, and the arts remain accessible to all.

Operated by Wade and Haley Kaufman's family, this multi-generational farm comes alive each season with opportunities for visitors to connect with Wisconsin agriculture.

A highlight of the season is their one-of-a-kind FFA-logo corn maze—the only one in Wisconsin—making it the perfect stop for this year’s Wisconsin Agricultural Tourism Association’s Maze Challenge. Pumpkins take center stage in the fall, with the Kaufmans recommending visits between Sep. 20 and Oct. 17 for peak picking.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! Nestled deep in the woods between Denton and Copper Canyon, Texas, lies an unassuming wooden structure with a chilling past—Goatman's Bridge. Known officially as the Old Alton Bridge, this seemingly simple crossing is anything but ordinary. Steeped in tales of demonic entities, violent history, and occult rituals, it's become one of the most infamous haunted sites in the South. Some say the spirit of a lynched Black goat farmer seeks justice from beyond the grave. Others claim satanic worshipers opened a portal to something far darker—summoning the legendary half-man, half-goat beast said to stalk the surrounding woods with glowing red eyes. From shadowy figures to documented physical attacks, countless witnesses have come forward with bone-chilling accounts of what lingers near the bridge. In this episode, we explore the dark legend of Goatman's Bridge—where folklore, fear, and the unexplained collide in the heart of Texas. Today on The Grave Talks, a conversation with author Becky Vickers about her book, The Secrets of Goatman's Bridge: True Tales of Chilling Paranormal Encounters at One of the Most Haunted Bridges in America.
