This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! From a young age, Barry Frankish lived in a world where the veil between the living and the dead seemed dangerously thin. His earliest memories include terrifying paranormal encounters that left him both shaken and fascinated. Instead of running from these chilling experiences, Barry leaned in — dedicating his life to exploring the unknown. Today, he uses traditional ghost hunting methods to gather evidence, searching for answers to the questions raised in his haunted childhood. His work is not about chasing thrills but about documenting real hauntings and finding meaning in the unexplained. In this episode of The Grave Talks, Barry opens up about his horrifying early experiences, how they shaped his fascination with the paranormal, and why he continues to pursue evidence of life after death. This is more than a story about ghosts — it's about one man's lifelong journey to make sense of what most of us fear. This is Part Two of our conversation. #Ghostly Encounters #ParanormalJourney #HauntedChildhood #GhostStories #RealHauntings #TheGraveTalks #LifeAfterDeath #ParanormalInvestigation #TrueParanormal #SupernaturalEncounters #HauntedExperiences Love real ghost stories?

“My book is called Empire of AI because I'm trying to articulate this argument and illustrate that these companies operate exactly like empires of old. I highlight four features that essentially encapsulate the three things you read. However, I started talking about it in a different way after writing the book.The four features are: they lay claim to resources that are not their own, which is the centralization of resources; they exploit an extraordinary amount of labor, both in the development of the technology and the fact that they're producing labor-automating technologies that then suppress workers' ability to bargain for better rights; they monopolize knowledge production, which comes when they centralize talent.”In this episode of the Speaking Out of Place podcast, Professor David Palumbo-Liu talks with investigative journalist Karen Hao. She explains that OpenAI is anything but “open”—very early on, it left behind that marketing tag to become increasingly closed and elitist. Her massive study, Empire of AI: Dreams and Nightmares in Sam Altman's OpenAI had a rather different subtitle in its UK edition: Inside the reckless race of total domination. She fleshes out the overlap between these two points of emphasis. Hao argues that in general, the AI mission “centralizes talent around a grand ambition” and “centralizes capital and other resources while eliminating roadblocks, regulation, and dissent.” All the while, “the mission remains so vague that it can be interpreted and reinterpreted to direct the centralization of talent, capital, resources, however the centralizer wants.” Karen explains that she chose the word “empire” precisely to indicate the colonial nature of AI's domination: the tremendous damage this enterprise does to the poor, to racial and ethnic minorities, and to the Global South in general in terms of minds, bodies, the environment, natural resources, and any notion of democracy. This is a discussion everyone should be part of.Karen Hao is a bestselling author and award-winning reporter covering the impacts of artificial intelligence on society. She was the first journalist to profile OpenAI and wrote a book, Empire of AI, about the company and its global implications, which became an instant New York Times bestseller. She writes for publications including The Atlantic and leads the Pulitzer Center's AI Spotlight Series, a program that trains thousands of journalists worldwide on how to cover AI. She was formerly a reporter for the Wall Street Journal, covering American and Chinese tech companies, and a senior editor for AI at MIT Technology Review. Her work is regularly taught in universities and cited by governments. She has received numerous accolades for her coverage, including an American Humanist Media Award, an American National Magazine Award for Journalists Under 30, and the TIME100 AI.

She's back! But are we talking about M3GAN or Meka G.? How about both!That's right. Andrew fell a bit sick, but luckily Meka G. from the Cinematic Nightmares Podcast stepped in to talk about a movie she really enjoyed, "M3GAN 2.0". We also discuss some body horror, and stay tuned until the end of the episode, when Andrew pops in for a moment to let us know which movie we're watching next!"M3GAN 2.0" was once again directed by Gerard Johnstone. In the sequel, which brings back some familiar faces, there's a new robot in town, and her name is AMELIA.

In this episode, Dave presents a "The Return of the Live Dead" special!

Some people grow up knowing they're not alone. For her, it started in childhood—voices in empty rooms, the sense of eyes at her back. At nineteen came the first direct encounter: a pitch-black, basketball-sized sphere perched at the corner of her bed. It didn't drift. It jumped—hard—slamming the bed into the headboard and scattering objects. “A nightmare,” her father said. But beds don't launch themselves. That's when the lifelong haunting began. Years passed. Activity ebbed, then surged. Nightmares left her soaked in sweat, heart racing, details erased—only terror remained. Last July, she moved to a quiet one-bedroom in Elk Grove, California, hoping for calm. Instead, a new ritual: each morning as she rolled to silence her alarm on the nightstand, a bloodcurdling scream blasted into her ear—as if someone shrieked inside her head. When she started keeping the phone in the bed, the screaming stopped. Coincidence… or response? This isn't a house story. It follows her. Not EMF meters and easy answers—just a pattern of intelligent responses, physical marks, and a protector that won't cross the threshold. One entity or many? Mimic, parasite, shadow that learned her routines? The evidence points to a relentless, personal haunting—one that screams through alarms, marks skin, shakes beds… and waits. #TrueGhostStory #RealHaunting #HauntedHouse #GhostCaughtOnCamera #ParanormalActivity #ShadowPeople #CreepyEncounters #UnexplainedMysteries #ElkGrove #Poltergeist #DogSeesGhosts #ScaryStory Love real ghost stories?

In this episode of The Fleet Success Show, Josh Turley (CEO, RTA) and fleet veteran Nathan Schafer dive deep into the not-so-sexy—but absolutely critical—topic of vehicle inventory. If you've ever assumed that what's in your fleet maintenance management software matches what's on your lot… think again. From rogue departments buying vehicles under the radar to liabilities that could land you in legal hot water, this episode breaks down why accurate, hands-on inventory is non-negotiable. Nathan shares real stories from public sector and construction fleet life, including equipment that literally vanished and a catastrophic fire that made insurance records the only thing standing between chaos and coverage. You'll also get practical advice on how to conduct a modern vehicle inventory using today's tools—plus why photos, odometer updates, and walkarounds could save you millions (or your job). ✅ Key Takeaways Inventory isn't optional—it's a legal, financial, and operational necessity. What's not in your FMIS can hurt you. Assets missing from your fleet maintenance software = massive liability. Photos are proof. Capture and attach them to records to avoid insurance nightmares. Rogue departments = rogue liabilities. Centralized oversight is critical. Annual walkarounds uncover the truth. From ghost assets to forgotten equipment, nothing beats boots on the ground. Digital tools like RTA Fleet360's mobile app simplify the process with photo capture, odometer updates, and record linking. Speaker Bios Josh Turley, CEO of RTA: The Fleet Success Company. With two decades of experience supporting fleets, Josh is passionate about helping fleet managers lead with intention and build cultures of excellence. He's a vocal advocate for using data and modern fleet management systems to drive measurable success. Nathan Schafer, Fleet management expert with 25+ years in both public sector and private construction fleets. At RTA, he supports implementation, training, and product design. Known for his hands-on approach and deep operational knowledge, Nathan's stories always come with a lesson (and sometimes a laugh). #FleetMaintenance #FleetManagement #FleetSuccess #VehicleInventory #FleetSafety #FleetCompliance #FleetMaintenanceSoftware #FleetManagementSoftware #GovernmentFleet #RTAFleet #AssetManagement #FleetLiability

"Only 5% of retirees say they're living the dream and 19% are living the nightmare." says Deb Boyden in an article from Yahoo Finance. Deb provides three lessons to protect your future, which we dig into to see how it applies to your retirement: Lesson 1: You're Probably Not Saving Enough Lesson 2: Expect the Unexpected Lesson 3: Winging It Won't Get You There In our Listener Question segment, we talk about the pro rata rule and Roth conversions. It's one of those areas that seems simple on the surface but trips a lot of people up once you start digging in, so we unpack what the pro rata rule really means and why, in most cases, an extra step at the point of retirement, and a bit of double-checking will keep things as clean and simple as possible.  Resource: Article on Yahoo Finance from Deb Boyden: "Only 5% of retirees say they're ‘living the dream' and 19% are ‘living the nightmare.'

The Nightmares of Nosferatu returns to examine the new Robert Eggers incarnation. In this chapter we chart the development of the movie and the long road it took to the screen, and the magic that went into its making!

In this episode of Speaking Out of Place, investigative journalist Karen Hao explains that OpenAI is anything but “open”—very early on, it left behind that marketing tag to become increasingly closed and elitist.  Her massive study, Empire of AI: Dreams and Nightmares in Sam Altman's OpenAI had a rather different subtitle in its UK edition: “Inside the reckless race of total domination.” In our conversation we flesh out the overlap between these two points of emphasis. Hao argues that in general the AI mission “centralizes talent around a grand ambition” and “centralizes capital and other resources while eliminating roadblocks, regulation, and dissent.” All the while “the mission remains so vague that it can be interpreted and reinterpreted to direct the centralization of talent, capital, resources however the centralizer wants.”  Karen explains that she chose the word “empire” precisely to indicate the colonial nature of AI's domination: the tremendous damage this enterprise does to the poor, to racial and ethnic minorities, and to the Global South in general in terms of minds, bodies, the environment, natural resources, and any notion of democracy.  This is a discussion everyone should be part of.Karen Hao is a bestselling author and award-winning reporter covering the impacts of artificial intelligence on society. She was the first journalist to profile OpenAI and wrote a book, EMPIRE OF AI, about the company and its global implications, which became an instant New York Times bestseller. She writes for publications including The Atlantic and leads the Pulitzer Center's AI Spotlight Series, a program training thousands of journalists around the world on how to cover AI. She was formerly a reporter for the Wall Street Journal, covering American and Chinese tech companies, and a senior editor for AI at MIT Technology Review.

According to the pictures and descriptions I found online, it seems to be what we silly Americans would call a "linen closet," to keep towels, sheets, and other linen in, but when Jon said he used it for airing clothes, it only confused me further. Help/ clarification from other UK folks would be welcome.Sparrows are lovely birds and deserve all the love, kindness, and breadcrumbs they can get.

How pricey is too pricey for a toy?

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! Most friendships end quietly—fading memories, less contact, a slow drift into the past. But sometimes, anger refuses to let go. Sometimes, the ending sparks something far darker than silence. That's what happened when two mothers—once close—fell into a bitter feud. Their sons were best friends, inseparable, until the women's relationship soured. Instead of letting the children remain close, both mothers pulled them apart, forbidding further contact. But one mother wanted more than distance. She wanted revenge. What followed was not petty gossip or cold stares—it was a curse. A demonic hex, cast in anger, meant to punish the other mother for her perceived betrayal. But curses don't always follow neat, expected paths. This one bled beyond its intended target, reaching the innocent—the children. For Tony Ramirez, who was just a little boy at the time, the darkness that followed was unexplainable, terrifying, and unforgettable. Nightmares that felt too real, a sense of being watched, unexplained shadows creeping into the corners of his world. It was as if something had attached itself, something meant for his mother but unwilling to stop at her. Now, as an adult, Tony reflects on the curse that marked his childhood. Was it simply anger magnified by superstition? Or did one mother's decision to dabble in the demonic open a doorway that could not easily be shut? Tony Ramirez shares his story: the story of betrayal, dark intentions, and a curse that forever changed the way he views the paranormal.

Freddy Krueger haunts the dreams of a teen boy and attempts to possess him to continue his murderous ways in reality.A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge is the sequel to one of the most popular slasher movies of its time, A Nightmare on Elm Street, and brings the deceased child killer, Freddy Krueger, back into focus. While Freddy is in control, his method of killing is a bit different in this movie moving towards possession instead of him performing the evil himself. After watching this movie, it's evident that there were a lot of deviations from the first movie in the method of killing as well as changing up some of the horror tropes we've come to expect. How will these changes play out? Watch the movie and catch our review. YouTube | The Final PodcastDiscord | Spooky PiratesFacebook | The Final PodcastInstagram | thefinalpodcastMusic Credit: Karl Casey @ White Bat Audiohttps://www.youtube.com/whitebataudioWhat should we review next?

Send us a textIn this episode Joseph, Gabe, and RedBear dig into Mexico's Indigenous heart — the food, the languages, the rituals, the medicine, all of it still alive today. Tortillas, tamales, pozole, Day of the Dead, Nahuatl and Maya, curanderos doing limpias — this isn't the past, it's daily life for millions.This week we're talking about how that continuity runs through Mexico, from the table to the altar to the healer's smoke. And at the end, we point to what was coming in the 1980s, when a man named Adolfo Constanzo was already being called a powerful brujo. He promised protection and gained followers! That's where we'll go next week.Thanks for listening and enjoy! Nightmares of the americas and the behill network are teaming up with the long hairs.
