Episode 95: Sinners This week on Philosophy in Film, the gang steps into the blood-soaked confessional of Ryan Coogler's 2025 thriller, Sinners. Nestled in the indie-crime-vampire-redemption-gangster genre, the film follows Eli Morgan, a disgraced pastor-turned-defense attorney, as he's pulled into the moral murk of faith, failure, and a client who might not be entirely human. Craig hacks away at Producer's Notes (9:37) with only slight collateral damage, while Alain cracks open the Book of Beauclair (21:04) to lay out Eli's twilight descent. Chris then lights a candle for Philosopher's Corner (47:20), tuning into the film's musical language, where brooding jazz and sacred overtones echo themes of guilt, redemption, and longing. At the Round Table (53:10), the gang debates whether Sinners bites into something meaningful or just bares its fangs, before Reviews (1:43:22) and Mailbag (1:55:35) offer closing testimony from the congregation. As always, we reflect on the philosophical and non-philosophical burdens carried through the film's long dark night, because even the damned listen close.

(The Center Square) – President Donald Trump traveled to Florida Tuesday to visit ‘Alligator Alcatraz,' the new, quickly constructed immigrant detention center that will hold up to 5,000 foreign nationals facing deportation. “Very soon, this facility will house some of the most menacing migrants, some of the most vicious people on the planet,” Trump said at a panel Tuesday. The facility – which might ultimately look more like a deportation camp – is the nearly 40-square-mile Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport in Miami-Dade County. Nestled amidst the wetlands of the Big Cypress National Preserve and with a nearly 11,000-foot runway, it was selected to be quickly transformed into a deportation site. It is typically used for military training.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! The Graestone Manor Bed and Breakfast is a beautifully preserved Victorian mansion along the Erie Canal in Royalton, New York. Nestled in the quiet town of Gasport, this manor is a gem on the Niagara Wine Trail. Silas Newcomb, settled the property in 1833, planting apple and pear trees that still bear fruit today. Over the decades, the estate changed hands—from Silas's son Albert to neighbors Horace and Harriet Chapin and then to Curtis Root in 1865. Root, a racehorse enthusiast, left a lasting legacy with his racetrack and the famed racehorse Hamiltonian. But beneath its historical facade, Graestone Manor harbors a world of the supernatural. Visitors have reported the sound of heated arguments, the echo of ghostly horse hooves, and the chilling sight of a woman's apparition at the window. Whispers of a mysterious vortex in the basement and shadowy figures wandering the halls add to the eerie atmosphere. And what is it like to be a psychic medium living in this historic manor? And why are the former owners' spirits excited about Heather and her husband living in the home? This is Part Two of our conversation.

In this episode of Venice Talks, Monica Cesarato sits down with Valeria Boncompagni, the creative force behind one of Venice's most intimate and soulful jewelry ateliers. Nestled under the arcades of Piazza San Marco, Valeria's workshop is a sanctuary of emotion, craftsmanship, and timeless beauty.A master of the ancient lost-wax casting technique, Valeria doesn't just design jewelry—she sculpts feelings, memories, and personal stories into bronze and silver. Her pieces are not made to follow trends but to follow emotions. Each creation is a wearable sculpture, infused with history, heritage, and heart.
The Bridgewater Club, a Distinguished Club with Elite status, is a traditional and refined private club community for those seeking the highest level of personal service and an extraordinary golf experience in an exclusive, private club setting. Nestled in the heart of Carmel, Indiana, Bridgewater offers members access to world-class amenities, championship golf designed by Pete Dye, and a lifestyle rooted in elegance, comfort, and camaraderie. On this episode of The Wednesday Match Play Podcast, brought to you by Eden Mill St Andrews, Mike talks about The Bridgewater Club's membership, amenities, and what makes it special; his journey to earning both the Certified Club Manager designation and PGA Professional status; how the role of General Manager has evolved over his career; and studying Recreation and Parks Management with a focus on Professional Golf Management at Penn State, including what first sparked his interest in private clubs. He also discusses the types of events hosted at the club, how the HOA integrates with club membership and the overall community, and the operational KPIs and benchmarks that guide club excellence. This was a polished and insightful conversation, and it was an honor having Mike on the show. Let's tee off.
Send us a textIn this episode, I chat with Baker Rogers and Mattilyn Kortney, co-owners of Queer Have Books in Colombia, South Carolina.Nestled in Columbia's historic Arcade Mall, this cozy 680-square-foot sanctuary defines queer not just as gender and sexual identity but as active resistance against all forms of discrimination. The shelves hold carefully curated collections addressing LGBTQ+ experiences alongside works on anti-racism, feminism, and social justice, creating a space where intersectionality isn't just acknowledged but celebrated.What makes Queer Haven remarkable is how it thrives despite challenging political circumstances. While South Carolina faces potential legislation that could lead to widespread book bans, the shop has leaned into controversy by prominently featuring banned titles. "We have people come in here every day saying 'I've got to get this before it's sold out,'" Baker shares, noting the irony that censorship attempts have actually boosted interest in these books.Beyond retail, Queer Haven functions as a vibrant community center. In its first year as a brick-and-mortar location, it hosted an impressive 160 events, ranging from book clubs and writing workshops to drag story hours and queer comedy nights. In a world increasingly dominated by algorithm-driven recommendations and instant delivery, Queer Haven Books represents something profoundly different: human connection, thoughtful curation, and a physical space where marginalized voices are centered rather than silenced. It's not just about selling books—it's about creating community one page at a time.This episode is brought to you by Saturn Press.

EPISODE 2 - Edgemont Springs Welcome. Welcome to Mutant County! Lady Finger is a small town like any other. Nestled in the heart of a small county, the denizens are, for the most part, just like you and me. In fact, they could be you and me except for one important detail… or two. Lady Finger and the surrounding hamlets that make up Clover County will – in the not too distant future – suffer massive nuclear fallout from a sudden reactor leak. Soon they will be quietly wondering if the radioactivity created the abominations that besiege their little community or indeed merely attracted them – perhaps from some unspeakable interdimensional rift. By the time the Cultists take over the local graveyard and mysterious government agents impose an invisible barrier around the entire county “for their safety”, Clover County will be no more, and Mutant County will stand, festering, in its place. And yet the good people of the county remain, and they'd like to welcome you to their little village… be it ever so humble. Episode 2: “Edgemont Springs” was written and performed by Michael P. Thiessen & Peter Church, and features Anna Dagleish as Lynn Rinalynn with Weather.

Those two projects are The Herbert Paradise home and The Lexi Cinema Hub, both in Kensal Rise, London.You can see the project here as you listen along.Nestled in the heart of Kensal Rise, North West London, the Herbert Paradise House is a striking transformation of a 1930s mid-terrace property, and a former car park has been transformed into a vibrant new addition to The Lexi — the city's only social enterprise cinema. Designed by RISE Design Studio, the Herbert Paradise House and The Lexi Cinema and Hub are small but powerful examples of how architecture can support both community and sustainability through Passivehaus principles.If you enjoy this episode, visit arcat.com/podcast for more.

Nestled on the northern Sword Coast, between Neverwinter Wood and the Sword Mountains, is the town of Phandalin. Centuries ago, Phandalin was a thriving settlement with deep ties to its neighboring communities. But then bandits overran the town, and Phandalin lay abandoned for centuries.Only in the past few years have settlers built a new village on the ruins of the old. These townsfolk hope to grow Phandalin through hard work, camaraderie, and the shared purpose of building a lasting home. Threatening their efforts and their survival are bandits, brigands, and monsters.We are playing the new rules of Dnd 2024
Nestled in the Horn of Africa on the easternmost part of the African continent is a small country called Djibouti. It's bordered by three other countries: Eritrea to the north, Ethiopia to the west, and Somalia to the south. Djibouti's eastern border abuts the busy shipping lanes of the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. These bodies of water are connected by the Bab al-Mandab Strait which serves as an essential gateway between the Mediterranean Sea with the Indian Ocean. Directly across that narrow body of water from Djibouti is Yemen. You can imagine the geopolitical significance of this particular part of the world. You might be thinking of issues pertaining to global trade, to international peace, to development and humanitarian assistance. And you might not be surprised to know that there is a United States military presence in Djibouti. But you might be surprised to learn that the only Catholic priest currently serving in the US military for the entire continent of Africa is living there in Djibouti. You might also be surprised to learn that this priest is a Jesuit, one who just a few months ago was teaching theology and neuroscience to undergraduates at Creighton University. Now, Fr. Chris Krall is serving as a chaplain, having been called up from his reserve status at the end of the 2024 fall semester. Instead of grading papers, he's traveling by helicopter to remote bases across Africa to bring the sacraments and a listening ear. Fr. Chris is our guest today calling in all the way from east Africa. If you've ever wondered what it's like to be a priest ministering to folks in the military, this conversation is for you. We talk about how Chris' current mission fits into his Jesuit vocation of being available to go where God's people need him. We wrestle with some of the possible tensions inherent in being a priest in the military. And we reflect on the surprising similarities between ministering to colleges students and ministering to women and men in uniform. A note: This conversation was recorded in late May.
Circle of Parks Podcast: Talking all things Walt Disney World
Nestled on an island in the middle of Lago Dorado at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort sits Three Bridges Bar and Grill, a unique dining venue that breaks the mold of typical Disney restaurants. Join us as we explore this hidden gem that offers a refreshing change of pace from character dining and theme park eateries.Three Bridges earns its name from the trio of walkways connecting the restaurant to the mainland, creating an intimate setting that feels worlds away from the hustle of the parks. The open-air design showcases stunning views of Grand Destino Tower reflected in the lake waters, with Spanish villa and Mayan-inspired architecture creating a sophisticated ambiance perfect for unwinding after a park day or convention session.What sets this venue apart is its Spanish-Asian fusion menu, featuring shareable plates like house-made guacamole and white queso with chorizo alongside entrees such as steak frites with smoked paprika fries and plancha-seared mahi with Thai red coconut curry. But the true stars here might be the signature sangria flights - offering seasonal, sparkling, rosé, white, and red varieties that have guests specifically seeking out this location.While the food delivers solid quality, we found the real value lies in the atmosphere - making this spot ideal for date nights, adult gatherings, or simply enjoying appetizers and drinks with a view. Unlike most Disney restaurants, Three Bridges doesn't accept advance reservations; guests must either walk up or join the waitlist via the My Disney Experience app when physically at Coronado Springs.For those considering whether to add Three Bridges to their Disney dining lineup, consider it less a destination restaurant and more a beautiful spot to unwind with drinks and small plates. The lakeside setting delivers a romantic, relaxed vibe that's surprisingly hard to find at Disney World - perfect when you need a break from all things Mickey.Looking to experience Three Bridges on your next Disney vacation?

Nestled in the heart of the forest, a secluded metal-roofed hut becomes your peaceful retreat as a gentle rain drizzle softly taps against its surface. The rhythmic patter of raindrops blends seamlessly with the earthy hum of green noise, a natural symphony of low, calming frequencies that evoke the sounds of rustling leaves and distant wildlife. Nearby, a gentle stream babbles over smooth stones, adding a melodic flow to the tranquil atmosphere. The combination of rain, green noise, and the soothing stream creates a perfect harmony, enveloping you in a serene, nature-infused embrace. Inside the hut, the air is cool and fresh, carrying the scent of wet soil and pine, while the sounds of the forest outside provide a calming lullaby, inviting deep relaxation and peaceful reflection.---Follow us on Instagram & TikTok & YouTube @12hourwhitenoiseFollow us on X (formerly known as Twitter) @sleepwithnoiseFollow us on Facebook @whitenoiseandsleepsounds---Have a sound you'd like to hear?

An awe-inspiring journey into the world of proteins--how they shape life, and their remarkable potential to heal our bodies and our planet. Each fall, a robin begins the long trek north from Gibraltar to her summer home in Central Europe. Nestled deep in her optic nerve, a tiny protein turns a lone electron into a compass, allowing her to see north in colors we can only dream of perceiving. Taking us beyond the confines of our own experiences, The Color of North: The Molecular Language of Proteins and the Future of Life (Belknap Press, 2025) traverses the kingdom of life to uncover the myriad ways that proteins shape us and all organisms on the planet. Inside every cell, a tight-knit community of millions of proteins skillfully contorts into unique shapes to give fireflies their ghostly glow, enable the octopus to see predators with its skin, and make humans fall in love. Collectively, proteins orchestrate the intricate relationships within ecosystems and forge the trajectory of life. And yet, nature has exploited just a fraction of their immense potential. Shahir S. Rizk and Maggie M. Fink show how breathtaking advances in protein engineering are expanding on nature's repertoire, introducing proteins that can detect environmental pollutants, capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and treat diseases from cancer to COVID-19. Weaving together themes of memory, migration, and family with cutting-edge research, The Color of North unveils a molecular world in which proteins are the pulsing heart of life. Ultimately, we gain a new appreciation for our intimate connections to the world around us and a deeper understanding of ourselves. Learn more about your ad choices.

Nestled in the remote forest of the Netherlands once stood a house known as the Round House. Rumors have persisted for decades as to what actually went on at this house. It is said that the elite and royalty would frequent the Round House for unspeakable evil acts. Was it an occult gathering place? Was it involved with providing the elite with debauchery and evil?

“Have you ever stumbled across a forest in the middle of Dallas?”That's the question that kicks off a surprisingly heartfelt and hilarious episode of The Ben and Skin Show, as Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray uncover the story behind one of the most exciting new music venues in North Texas: the Longhorn Backyard Amphitheater.Nestled just one mile south of Downtown Dallas and tucked behind the historic Longhorn Ballroom, this soon-to-open 6,500-capacity amphitheater is more than just a concert space—it's a symbol of revitalization, community, and killer live music. KT breaks the news with his signature “veteran news anchor” flair, and Skin shares his exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of the venue, courtesy of Dallas music legend Edwin Cabaniss.
Have you ever dreamed of a greenhouse wedding that feels like you've been transported to the English countryside, but with all the modern comforts you need? In our conversation with Sherry Durling, owner of Greenwood Springs in Joplin, Missouri, we discover how an eight-year journey running a seasonal greenhouse venue has evolved into an ambitious expansion project that wedding couples are going to love.Nestled in a picturesque valley with natural springs, Greenwood Springs has always offered couples a unique setting with what Sherry describes as "lush landscape views" and an old-world charm. Now, she's quadrupling the footprint of her original greenhouse, creating a glass-walled structure that preserves the outdoor aesthetic while adding climate control, updated amenities, and space for up to 250 guests. What makes this venue truly special goes beyond the gorgeous setting. We explore the 100-year-old stone bridal cottage where photographers capture stunning getting-ready moments, and the literal "man cave" (yes, an actual cave!) beneath it, complete with foosball, Xbox, and a neon sign that has grooms exclaiming "that's sick!" when they tour the property. Sherry's thoughtfulness extends to creating multiple outdoor conversation areas with fire pits and standing tables under wisteria, giving guests places to connect away from the music.The venue's proximity to Downstream Casino (just two miles away) brings additional perks, including complimentary shuttle service for wedding guests staying at the resort. This partnership creates a comprehensive wedding weekend destination with spa services, restaurants, and activities all nearby – despite feeling worlds away in the serene valley setting of Greenwood Springs.Ready to explore this unique blend of natural beauty and modern luxury for your wedding? Visit greenwoodspringsjoplin.com to learn more and schedule a tour of this evolving venue that promises to deliver a truly distinctive wedding experience.

Fink show how breathtaking advances in protein engineering are expanding on nature's repertoire, introducing proteins that can detect environmental pollutants, capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and treat diseases from cancer to COVID-19. Weaving together themes of memory, migration, and family with cutting-edge research, The Color of North unveils a molecular world in which proteins are the pulsing heart of life. Ultimately, we gain a new appreciation for our intimate connections to the world around us and a deeper understanding of ourselves. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Nestled on the edge of a glacier-carved lake in upstate New York sits Elm Lodge—a family home since 1863, once a hotel, and forever known by locals as haunted. In this episode, a listener shares just the beginning of a legacy filled with spirits and history. One summer night, while stargazing from a canoe on the water, she and her best friend saw a light turn on in the empty house… and a large figure standing at the window. The figure vanished before their eyes, but her father knew exactly who it was—her great-grandmother, still watching over the family she once guarded from that very same window.

Nestled in the heart of Coldwater, this gallery honors the legacy of local artist H.C. Lewis, a man who believed every brushstroke told a story—and sometimes, that story involved a cow or two.

Send us a textIn this episode, I chat with Jen Lemberger, co-owner of Chaucer's Books.Nestled in Santa Barbara's Loreto Plaza sits a literary institution fifty-one years in the making. Chaucer's Books, now under the stewardship of Jen Lemberger and Greg Feitt, stands as a testament to the enduring power of independent bookstores in our communities.Jen's career started in health research and social epidemiology. She worked with organizations like Direct Relief before pursuing a master's in library science and eventually returning to Chaucer's, where she had once worked part-time alongside Greg. "I like to provide it as evidence for folks that you're not going to have one career," she reflects, offering hope to anyone questioning their professional journey.The transition came as Mahri Kerley, who had owned Chaucer's since its founding in 1974, turned 80 the same year the bookstore celebrated its 50th anniversary. What makes Chaucer's special isn't just its impressive collection of over 100,000 titles, but the care taken in curating them. As a New York Times reporting bookstore with strong publisher relationships, they strike a balance between bestsellers and niche interests, ensuring depth across all sections. Their booksellers are strategically hired for their diverse reading specialties, creating a knowledge ecosystem where customers can always find someone who speaks their literary language.Despite challenging retail trends, Chaucer's thrives as both a destination for bibliophiles and a beneficiary of its location near frequently visited establishments. Millennials, Jen notes, have become their fastest-growing demographic. Whether you're a Santa Barbara local or just passing through, Chaucer's Books offers that irreplaceable feeling of discovery that only comes from wandering through shelves curated by passionate readers who know their community. As Jen's ever-growing "to be read" pile attests, the literary journey never ends—and Chaucer's Books ensures you'll never run out of new worlds to explore.Chaucer's BooksThe Martha's Vineyard Beach and Book Club, Martha Hall KellyColm Tóibín BooksI Know the Whale (A Social Emotional Picture Book for Kids), Robin YardiN.K.

Today, we're heading to one of the most fascinating and picturesque corners of the wine world: Alto Adige.

I recently had the pleasure of attending a webinar with Susannah Gold and Mathias Messner of Cantina Bolzen, and let me tell you, Alto Adige is more than just breathtaking views. We'll explore what makes this region so unique, from its multi-lingual culture to its high-altitude vineyards, and of course, we'll chat about some standout wines—think Kerner, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, and a beautifully crisp Pinot Blanc.

This episode features our live audience conversation with members of FORTH Club in Atlanta, GA and Nicola Lenci, the co-owner of Fattoria di Magliano, a winery located in the Maremma region of Tuscany. Nicola has been working at the estate since 2010, first in the vineyards and later in the cellar. He became an AIS Sommelier and started traveling, mainly North America, Germany and the UK, as the National Sales Manager of Fattoria di Magliano. Additionally, he currently is the Export Manager of the company and also the assistant winemaker. Nicola brought a flight of 4 of his family's wines to share with us while talking about his family's history, their experience starting a winery business, and their dedication to hospitality in the wine industry. We dive deep into what makes the region so unique, and you'll hear some interesting insights about Italian wine classifications and the estate's specific growing conditions. In 1996, Nicola's father, Agostino Lenci - a fashion professional - turned his passion for wine into a business by investing in a 97-hectare property. At the time, Maremma was not recognized for producing high quality wines, but Lenci endeavored to bring notoriety to this little-known wine-producing region situated a mere 10 miles from the Tyrrhenian coast in southeastern Tuscany. His vision was realized a few years later when Maremma Toscana was granted DOC status by the Italian government. Now at the estate, there is a restaurant serving local cuisine as well as a boutique inn with 30 guest rooms and a swimming pool overlooking the rolling hills. Our audience brought such a great energy of curiosity to this episode, and there was a line that formed behind the mic when we opened it up for the live Q&A at the end of the episode. Recorded May 13, 2025-----------------Our presenting sponsor for May is The Monticello Wine Trail in Virginia.

Nestled deep in the Wicklow Mountains, Glenmalure was once a stronghold for rebels and a sanctuary from the outside world. But long after the echoes of rebellion faded, the valley remained a place apart, where the comforts of modern life arrived late. Glenmalure was only connected to the electricity grid and running water in the late 20th century, and the rhythms of daily existence were shaped by isolation, resilience, and community spirit.In this evocative episode, which concludes a series on the Wicklow Military Road, historian Fin Dwyer shares the stories of people who lived in this isolated and remote valley.Recorded in a 200-year-old inn, this episode weaves together personal recollections, local history, and the enduring landscape of Glenmalure. It is a tribute to a way of life that has only recently disappeared!The episode features the voices of Carmel O'Toole, Michael Fewer, Marion McEvoy, Hugh McLindon, and Pat Dunne.

Nestled below the granite cliffs of Yosemite Valley is a village bustling with visitors year-round. For over a century, Curry Village has welcomed guests who want to stay in this magnificent valley yet are looking for an affordable option to the other pricier accommodations nearby, namely The Ahwahnee Hotel and Yosemite Lodge. With over 500 rooms and tents, several eating options, a grocery store, a mountain outfitter, and more, visitors have everything they need to enjoy the valley without having to venture out of the park to find a place to stay. On our recent trip to the park, we spent a couple of nights in one of their cozy tents (ours had an optional heater) while we hiked to the nearby gushing falls during the day. While the place was packed with visitors, our experience was better than we expected, and we will for sure go back again. In this episode, we discuss the good, the bad, and the scary of Curry Village, including: - An overview of all the accommodations at Curry Village, - What our tent and the adjacent facilities were like, - The eating options within the village (spoiler alert - there were many, and all fantastic), - The proximity of the village to many of the activities in the valley, - Some of the aspects of the village that could have been better (the bad), - A couple of events from the past that might put a fright into even the most intrepid travelers, - And more!
