After a frenetic weekend of Cork club hurling action, the big guns across the major grades, with the exception of last year's Senior A runners-up Castlelyons, remain in the mix for silverware.Glen Rovers came closest to an early exit with a Brian O'Sullivan-inspired Kanturk up by two points coming down the stretch in their blockbuster battle in Castleltownroche. Tomás Mulcahy's side held their nerve though, clipping over four scores without replay to save their season.St Finbarr's and Sars were far more dominant in their must-win matches, William Buckley again showing his accuracy with a haul of 0-7 from play for the Barrs against Bride while Daniel Kearney was restored to the starting 15 as Sars prevailed after an eight-goal thriller with Newtown.Castlelyons were eliminated by rivals Watergrasshill in the SAHC, paying the highest of prices for being beaten by a last-gasp goal in their opener with Blarney, who cruised through against Ballyhea.Carrigtwohill delivered one of the best displays of the weekend in hammering Courceys while Ballinhassig remain unbeaten after promotion following a win over Inniscarra in a group that's now finely poised.Na Piarsaigh welcomed back Ross O'Sullivan from the States and he shot the lights out as they coped with an early 11-point deficit against Fermoy.At Premier Intermediate, Aghabullogue, Valleys, Ballincollig and Cloyne all have two wins on the board so have are the leading contenders at that grade.

Greetings, bonjour, what's happening?Welcome to Lager Time.No podcast last week, soz, was a bit too hot and busy.This week, I've picked up where I left off with the audio book project I'm recording for The Suburban, which was my first book of poems and stories, I put out back in 2018. This week's offering is 4 short poems:A Pale Shade of WhiteThe 12 (which is a haiku poem)She Says and another haiku to finish, called embankment.Poems below for those subscribed on Substack - www.Cree.substack.com for those that aren't.I've been beavering away, trying to sort out some work for the next few months; got some bits in the bag. Aside from that, there's a couple of ideas which have been slowly fermenting in the back of my mind which are starting to take shape. This week I started scribbling some bits for a new story project, involving Reece and New Town and a new solo show idea, which will be for a younger audience, loosely inspired by Plato's Allegory of the cave.

While some of the blame for the dismal record of investigation and prosecution of TRC Cases can be attributed to the NPA, the lack of political will and interference need to be acknowledge. This was the testimony delivered at the TRC Cases Inquiry in Newtown, Johannesburg by long-time member of the Priority Crimes Litigation Unit (PCLU), Dr Jacobus Pretorius. Our senior reporter, Busi Bopela attended day 74 of the Inquiry's public hearings.…

This week on Straight To The Source, we're pulling up a chair with the humans behind two of Australia's most obsessed-over dessert brands: Oliver Allis, the guy who took a struggling frozen yoghurt shop from four stores to 75 (plus Singapore, because why not), and Eddie Stewart, the chef and baker who turned a drunken Tokyo night out into a Lamington institution. We're talking origin stories, cult followings, and the two-year "ghosting" saga that almost stopped their collaboration. Now Yo-Chi and Tokyo Lamington are dropping a full takeover: hand-dipped micro Lamingtons, a yoghurt that tastes like the real thing, and 5,000kg of collab magic hitting stores nationwide. Limited edition. Blink, and you'll miss it. Grab a spoon - this one's sweet, a little unhinged, and 100% worth the listen. In this episode: How Ollie turned a dying frozen yoghurt brand into a national name Eddie's pandemic-fuelled bakery hustle (and the drunk night that started it all) The full story behind the Yo-Chi x Tokyo Lamington collab Why "same values" beats big money every time in a good collaboration The sustainable packaging move most brands are too lazy to make. Yo-Chi's KeepCup-designed reusable "Go Bowl" (10% off every reuse) and Tokyo Lamington's tape-free, fully recyclable boxes Key Takeaways On why the collaboration took two years: Oliver first pitched mini lamingtons to Eddie in Newtown before Yo-Chii had even opened a Sydney store and didn't hear back for two years. "A two-year ghost," Eddie admits, before finally messaging: "We've cracked the code." The lesson, in Oliver’s words: "Put it out there, let it simmer, and see what happens." On instilling culture at scale: Ollie doesn't rely on a values statement. "We don't have values, we have stuff we care about," he says, running face-to-face sessions in every state to explain why small things, like smiling, matter to the business. On genuine hospitality: "If you put yourself under that pressure to build that team, you don't do a good job at it," says Eddie. "It just naturally comes." He points to Tokyo Lamington's Newtown store, where a largely Japanese staff have built their own community around staff lunches and after-work drinks. On choosing the right collaborators: "A great collaboration is two brands working together with the same values and the same endgame," says Eddie. Both founders say they've turned down or regretted partnerships where the other side was chasing profit over genuine brand fit. On sustainability as more than a gesture: Yo-Chi’s reusable Go Bowl program was co-designed with KeepCup, offers 10% off every reuse and has grown reuse rates from 0.01% to a record 1.3% of transactions. Tokyo Lamington's recyclable, tape-free boxes are, in Eddie's words, "a pain" for staff to fold but "a beautiful box" customers keep and repurpose. On taking the leap: Asked what advice they'd give their younger selves, Eddie says simply: "Take the chance and do it." Oliver’s answer: "Stay true to yourself. Stay curious." About Oliver Allis & Yo-Chi Oliver Allis is the co-founder and driving force behind Yo-Chi, one of Australia's most loved frozen yoghurt brands. After finishing his Bachelor of Business and a year travelling Latin America, Oliver teamed up with his father to take on Yo-Chi during the height of COVID, turning four struggling Melbourne venues into a national brand with 75 stores across Australia and international locations in Singapore. A self-described "brand marketing guy" at heart, Oliver has built Yo-Chi's cult following through bold local partnerships, sustainability initiatives like the reusable Go Bowl, and a company culture rooted in positivity over profit. When he's not dreaming up new yoghurt flavours, you'll find him tending to his backyard finger lime garden, 37 varieties and counting. About Eddie Stewart & Tokyo Lamington Eddie Stewart is the co-founder of Tokyo Lamington, the bakery brand born from a drunken night out in Japan. After a MasterChef stint and a COVID-scrapped plan to open in Tokyo, Eddie and business partner Min Chai opened their first shop on Australia Street with just $20,000 and a lot of hustle. What began with three hand-baked Lamington flavours has grown into a beloved brand with cafes in Marrickville and Newtown, known for seasonal collabs and a staff culture Eddie calls "one big family." A self-confessed cheese fiend, he's always up for a chat and a good collaboration. This episode is proudly brought to you by Seaway Logistics, local experts in global trade.

In the aftermath of the 2012 Sandy Hook mass school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, rightwing commentator Alex Jones peddled bogus conspiracy theories about the tragedy. The Sandy Hook families sued Jones for defamation and emotional distress, and in 2025 a court ordered Jones to pay them nearly $1.5 billion. Jones filed for bankruptcy, and as a court began to sort through his assets, the new owners of parody newspaper The Onion stepped in to take over his far-right platform, Infowars. We'll talk to Ben Collins, CEO of The Onion, about the acquisition and what he plans to do with a “new” Infowars. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Great documentary films can teach people about the world. But the strength of the medium is that it doesn’t just explain facts, it can also reveal emotional truths. One recent documentary film that does so is called The Librarians. It takes a look at book bans in U.S. public schools and shows how librarians have reacted to them. Another is Missing In Brooks County. It explores what happens when people go missing after they cross the U.S.-Mexico border. This hour, we talk to some of the people who made those films possible. GUESTS: Kim. A Snyder: Oscar-nominated film director and producer. Her documentary Newtown won a Peabody Award. Her new film is The Librarians. Martha Hickson: Retired New Jersey librarian. She’s featured in the film The Librarians as one of the librarians fighting to prevent books from being banned. In 2022, Martha received the Lemony Snicket Prize for Noble Librarians Faced with Adversity. Jeff Bemiss: Peabody Award-winning filmmaker who co-directed and co-produced Missing in Brooks County. He is also Professor of the Practice in Film Studies at Trinity College. Lisa Molomot: Peabody Award-winning filmmaker who co-directed and co-produced Missing in Brooks County.

The April 2026 Newtown Township Treasurer's Report documents that the township has significantly exceeded its budget just a third of the way into the year, such as Public Works Overtime (which is currently at 538% of its budget), Snow & Ice Removal Contracted Services (156% of its budget), and General Administration Credit Card Fees (103% of its budget). Nevertheless, total spending is still under budget because these overruns are offset by cutting back services provided by other departments such as engineering. Some members of the public have questioned why the township has been so slow in beginning preliminary work on approved pedestrian safety projects. Now they know why!

“Beware of your local librarian!” The idea that this could be a concern held by some Americans seemed unthinkable to director Kim A. Snyder (“Death By Numbers”, “Newtown”) back in 2021 when she embarked on the project that would end up being her latest documentary “The Librarians.” But as the latest wave of the culture wars has crested over the last few years, librarians — and books on local public and school library shelves — found themselves in the crosshairs of school board members, Christian Nationalists, and well-funded conservative organizations.   Kim joins Ken on the pod to explain the evolving public image of librarians and to connect the dots between conservative political strategy, attempts to remove books from school libraries, and threats of criminal prosecution of librarians who dare to stand up for the rights of their students. Kim discusses the list of 850 books created by a Republican Texas state representative with the intent of identifying and removing the books from school library shelves. Not surprisingly, these titles feature LGBTQ+ characters (over 60% of the books on the list), as well as books about race and Black history, and authors of color. While Texas and Florida may be ground zero for these attacks on literature and librarians, Kim describes how the movement has gone national. Fortunately, for those who value the importance of young people (and adults) having access to these books, a group of librarians known as “The Freedom Fighters” — and other librarians across the country — are now speaking out.   “The Librarians” is nominated for the Primetime Emmy for Exceptional Merit in Documentary Filmmaking. It is available for streaming on the PBS YouTube Channel.   Hidden Gem: “Cutting Through Rocks”   The Presenting Sponsor of "Top Docs" is Netflix.   Follow: @kasnyderfilms on Instagram and X @topdocspod on Instagram and X

Dave Jensen grew up as the Archbishop of Sydney's son in Newtown, surrounded by Greeks and Vietnamese and punk music and heroin. He knew what genuine Christianity looked like because everyone around him had it. He just didn't have it himself.He got a girl pregnant, married young, joined the army, had two kids, got divorced at 22, and spent the rest of his twenties in Townsville and Darwin; drinking, fighting, lying and womanising in a way that would be extraordinary if it weren't, as he puts it, just par for the course in the infantry. He called himself a Christian the whole time and would have been terrified to say otherwise.Then one hungover morning in Darwin, he opened his twin sister's laptop and a John Piper sermon clip started playing. He watched it. Then another. Then spent hours watching sermons and called his army chaplain mate Tim, who told him plainly — Dave, your name is a byword for scumbag. And then took him to Romans 5.That was it. He fell asleep in tears praying and woke up a Christian. The first thing that changed was that he loved Jesus Christ. He didn't care before. Now he did.Recorded at Soul Revival's annual Week Away camp at Waterslea, Joel and Brayden sit with Dave, now the evangelism director at ENC for a wide-ranging, funny, honest and deeply encouraging conversation. They cover his Newtown childhood, army life, what it actually costs to preach well, how he met his wife Sam, raising four boys on the Central Coast, and what he'd tell his younger Christian self.His answer: be kind to yourself. The pathway forward isn't self-loathing. It's repentance and faith, over and over, grounded in the love of Christ.Stories of Jesus Changing Everything. This is Chip Lunch.

At the 22 July 2026 Newtown Township Board of Supervisors meeting, several residents spoke out against duplicate billing, Chandler Hall sale and data centers and in support of safer crosswalks. Regarding the "dupilcate" billing: The two invoices were obtained via a RTK AFTER this recording was made. The first for $25,000 was actually a for a deposit to purchase the equipment/boiler, NOT the actual "replacement" of the boiler as indicated in the Bills List. The second invoice for $33,500 was for the work done to actually replace the boiler. I don't know why the Assistant Manager did not explain this at the public meeting where I made my comments. The correct names of residents making comments are: (1) John Mack, (2) Charles Feuer, and (3) Kim Caputo.

This "Deep Dive" podcast recaps the July 8, 2026, Newtown Township Board of Supervisors session. At the very beginning a public comments by a resident regarding pedestrian safety and request for updates on progress regarding safe crosswalks is met with complete silence. Crickets were heard is how to best describe this, During the meeting, local officials discussed several infrastructure and safety updates, including pedestrian crosswalk improvements and road maintenance payments. A significant portion of the session was dedicated to reviewing a proposed data center ordinance and specific zoning variances for residential fencing and property additions. The Police Chief also delivered a monthly report detailing local crime statistics, recent traffic enforcement efforts, and the department's involvement in regional events.

Dan Buck joins the Marc Cox Morning Show fresh off a Fourth of July weekend spent doing something beautifully American — installing nine flagpoles for his Newtown neighbors, free of charge, with a men's fellowship group ready to help even more next year. But the real fire comes when Dan calls out Zohran Mamdani directly, blasting his rhetoric as an attempt to rewrite American history and sell socialism to a generation that doesn't understand what it actually costs. He shares a patriotic anthem from Christian conservative songwriter Josh Spai and a scorching rant demanding that anyone pushing communism in America "shouldn't get the blessings of this nation." Faith, freedom, and neighborly love for country — that's what Buck Stops Here is all about. Kim on a Whim is up next, don't go anywhere.

This week we got completely sucked into DTF St. Louis on Max — and we have thoughts. David Harbour plays the most likable character in a show about suburban kinks, male loneliness and consensual weirdness, and we can't stop thinking about two middle-aged men tenderly dancing in their tighty-whities. Also: a woman yelled "you're my hall pass" at Ben during his Richmond show, and we're noticing a trend.Plus: the AI music backlash is real — Suno just raised $400 million and yet the public has definitively decided they do not want AI-created music. The Spotify CEO thinks bands should just drop a song every month. Reese Witherspoon is doing "let them eat cake" AI ads. And we explain exactly why tech platforms fundamentally do not understand creativity.Also: Seth Rogen's New York Times interview is essential listening, Ione had her first art show (get the painting at Vamped Vintage in Newtown), and we make the case for always having at least one normie friend in your life.

This week on the Backwoods Cryptid Road Trip, we pull into Meriden, Connecticut, and climb into the Hanging Hills, a range of ancient volcanic cliffs where a small black dog has been haunting hikers for more than a hundred and thirty years.He looks like an ordinary stray. Short hair, black coat, moderate size, nothing about him that should stop you in your tracks. But this dog never makes a sound, not even when you watch him bark, and he never leaves a footprint behind him in dust or snow. And the rule that's been passed down since the eighteen hundreds is simple and merciless. See him once for joy, twice for sorrow, and the third time, you don't come down off that mountain.We trace the legend all the way back to its source, a story called The Black Dog published in The Connecticut Quarterly in the spring of 1898 by geology professor William Harry Chichele Pynchon, grandfather of the novelist Thomas Pynchon. It was printed as fiction, but it broke loose from its pages almost immediately and became something people swear is real.We walk through the original three-act tale, the doomed winter climb of geologist Herbert Marshall, and the death that the legend later pinned on Pynchon himself, before separating what actually happened from the story that grew up around it.Then we get into the encounters, because that's where this thing lives. A lifelong hiker watching the dog bark in total silence before he vanishes off a bare ledge. A young man named Mike who photographed the dog at Castle Craig in 2004 while his own brother, standing ten feet away, saw nothing at all.A nighttime sighting on the bridge over the highway. A skeptic named Christina stunned into belief on the trail below the tower. Prints in fresh snow that stop mid-stride, as if the animal that made them simply lifted off the ground. We lay these against the real and sobering history of the cliffs, including the fatal fall of Mark Valenti in 2015 and the woman who fell nearly two hundred feet in 2021, and we ask whether the legend is wrapping itself around a place that was always going to be dangerous, or whether something up there is doing the counting.Before we leave the state, we take a side road into Connecticut's wider cryptid country, from the Winsted Wildman of 1895 to the silent eight-foot figure that teenager Karl S. watched cross the railroad tracks near Newtown in 1976, to the all-black upright shape a Bethel woman saw chasing thirty deer through her yard in 2022, to the lanky silhouette that stepped off Holbrook Road near Seymour in 2024. Twenty-some credible sightings, a Litchfield County hotspot, and a long traprock ridge that connects all of it.Whatever the black dog is, the silence, the missing tracks, and the way it's simply there and then isn't, all of it belongs to the same family of things that walk just outside the edge of what we're willing to call real. Climb up to Castle Craig with us, watch your footing on the ridge, and if you see a small black dog on the trail, take a good long look at him. Because that one's your first.Have you experienced a Bigfoot sighting, Sasquatch encounter, Dogman experience, UFO sighting, or any unexplained cryptid or paranormal event deep in the woods?

What began from heartbreak became a mission rooted in hope, education, prevention, and meaningful support for children, adults, and families across Connecticut. Today, Kevin continues that legacy by helping communities better understand addiction, mental health, recovery, and the essential role human connection plays in healing. Together, Scarlett and Kevin explore resilience, prevention, the challenges facing young people today, and how compassion, understanding, and community can help us create healthier, more connected lives.

After playing Dracula hundreds of times on stage and making numerous screen appearances in a variety of roles, Bela Lugosi spent his final years battling addiction, checking himself into a psychiatric ward, accepting charity from strangers, paying his ex-wife one dollar a month in alimony, and watching his career dissolve into Ed Wood's z-grade pictures until his death, after which he was buried in his iconic vampiric cape.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources and full transcript): https://weirddarkness.com/BelaLugosiFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: He began as an obscure actor, became a universally loved monster, but ended in destitution. We'll look at the career of Bela Lugosi. (The Rise and Fall of Bela Lugosi) *** Nearly a century has passed, and the grisly crime committed by two sisters remains as mysterious as ever. We'll look at the Papin Sisters and the shocking gruesome murder they committed in 1933 that horrified France. (The Murderous Papin Sisters) *** You think you know what Halloween is all about, but you might not—not really. After all, it wasn't always about carving pumpkins and collecting candy. (Why Celebrate Halloween) *** When it comes to murder investigations, the skeletons in everyone's closets – even those who are only peripheral characters in the drama – can still have their darkest secrets revealed. (The Mystery of the Poisoned Powder) *** And if I was to tell you I had a story called “The Woodchipper Murder” you might think it sounds like something out of the movie “Fargo” - but for Helle Nielsen, it was all too real.

Jeanne started her Connecticut chapter one town over from Newtown. After Sandy Hook, she and her friends made 3,000 green and white scarves. When it was over, everyone asked what was next. They found Binky Patrol. That was twelve years ago. Barbara joined as the chapter's voice, connector, and fundraiser — rheumatoid arthritis in her hands, no shortage of heart. Together they've delivered blankets to 199 students after a classmate's murder, to a Florida family stranded in Connecticut ICU beds, to a young man with spinal muscular atrophy who was given a year to live and is now 21. "All I want is for him to be remembered. When his friends say, 'What can we do for you, Barb?' I says, 'Don't forget his father. Don't forget me. But more importantly, don't ever forget him.'" - Barb This year the Connecticut chapter is aiming to hit 30,000 total blankets — a number that lands squarely on Binky Patrol's 30th anniversary.

On this episode of Meet Your Maker, Brian is joined by Aimee Pokwatka to talk about her novel Accumulation and the link between horror and joy. Pokwatka distinguishes pleasure from deeper joy and argues horror places us in “communion with terror,” reminding us of death, grief, and shared human vulnerability in ways that can be sustaining. She connects this to parenting and domestic life, recalling living in Newtown during the school shooting while nursing her infant. Pokwatka explains Accumulation's haunted-house frame as a flexible metaphor for women's labor, repetition, doubt, and entrapment—including financial constraints—while noting her real house, a found doll, and a sighting of a ghost informed the novel.http://www.aimeepokwatka.com/

His television credits include Law & Order, Law & Order: SVU, Reasonable Doubt, and Tyler Perry's Sistas.
