The Lakers turned in an excellent performance in a road win over the Houston Rockets, with their defense creating a fun game that showcased championship-level play for the purple and gold. What does this mean moving forward? *Note* Chris' mic improves after a few minutes

Hosts Chris and Owen are joined by Lance Becker, former Guild Ball Pundit and US Guild Ball Evangelist, to talk about the dead sports-themed wargame by Steamforged Games.

In this episode of the pawdcast, Karen and Jean chat with Chris Gabriel, owner of Nature's Nibbles, about what constitutes healthy dog food and what we as owners should be providing our dogs. When you think about it, as owners, we have to make so many decisions for our dogs and their health. Too often, too little thought goes into what we feed them, unless an issue develops. Chris and his wife Anne started Nature’s Nibbles, a natural pet food store, over a decade ago as a result their dog’s multiple allergies and afflictions. It was through trial, error, and a ton of research that they determined her allergies were a result of highly processed dog food. The knowledge they gained through that experience has led to a successful small business and an impassioned campaign to educate dog owners on heathy food choices -- including kibble!Note: Chris’s comments are his own and reflect his opinion and research.

We're back for week 2 of remote podcasting, and we're sounding a lot better! DS9...well, it's serving up a more mixed bag. First up, old Cardassian traps are sprung on DS9 in "Civil Defense", and everyone's lives may very well be in the hands of Gul Dukat. After that, we're served up a middling space-"Brigadoon" so bad that we try to mostly talk about the also-bad and deeply problematic B plot in "Meridian". Also this week: Cardassians gonna Cardass, the first appearance of Jeffrey Combs, and correcting the record. Note: Chris forgot that muting Zoom doesn't mute his recording. Sorry about that. You'll know what he means when you get there. [Timestamps: "Civil Defense": 03:16; "Meridian" 32:21]

The founder of The Methodist Reclamation Project Rev. Chris Tiedeman is Rev. Dr. Brad Miller’s guest on Episode 019 of the United Methodist People Podcast.   The Methodist Reclamation Project is a facebook group presence founded to respond to the decision of the 2019 General Conference to advocate a progressive/centrist viewpoint on the matters facing the UMC.   Chris is the pastor or Christ UMC-Wabash, Indiana.    In this in-depth interview, Chris tells Brad about coming to the church when he was dating the daughter of a UMC pastor while they both were in a high school drama production of “The Beverly Hillbillies.”  He described how the openness of the UMC spoke to him and nurtured his faith eventually leading him into pastoral ministry.  He is known among other things as the “Ukulele Pastor” for playing and singing with his “Uke” in the community.   He and some colleagues created the Methodist Reclamation Project to speak to effect change to save what can be of the United Methodist Movement.  He looks to affect the best future of the UMC moving forward.   He spoke to Brad about his role as a “Grandpa Millennial” and his concerns about how the UMC has struggled to meet the needs of millennial and how passionate he is about this.  This includes his willingness to work through with others what Methodism will become in the aftermath of the 2019 General Conference decision to implement the Traditional Plan.   Chris spoke from the heart to Brad about the “gutted” feeling he had about the pain many people associated with the LGBTQ community are experiencing now and how his compelled to take action in response to that.  This action included stepping up as a candidate for the General and Jurisdictional Conference.  (Note: Chris was elected as a delegate to the North Central Jurisdictional Conference by the Indiana Annual Conference)   Chris describes his present attitude about the church as “fraught but hopeful” which he describes as being encouraged by the movement of centrist/progressive UMC people in an anxious time and a defining moment in the church.   His desire, he tells Brad, is to focus on Jesus and move beyond any distraction to this focus.  He describes himself as a “Jesus Person” teaching others in the UMC that the need to be Jesus to others an outpost of the Gospel.   You will want to listen and learn from Chris Tiedeman the founder of The Methodist Reclamation Project on Episode 019 of the United Methodist People Podcast with Rev. Dr. Brad Miller.   The purpose of the United Methodist People Podcast is to strengthen the connection in the UMC through conversation and commentary.   Rev. Dr. Brad Miller June 2019   https://www.facebook.com/groups/386132275301092/

Wie, gar kein halbes Jahr Pause bis zur nächsten Folge? Nur so in etwa 2 Wochen? Kann das sein? Ja! Das kann sein! Zugegeben, es hat nur zur Besprechung von zwei Filmen gereicht, aber diese zwei haben es absolut in sich. Zwei kommende Klassiker auf dem Gebiet der seichten Unterhaltung. Im Einzelnen sind dies: "Book Club" (zu deutsch "Book Club - Das Beste kommt noch", ab 13. September 2018 im Kino) Note Flo: 3,7 "The Spy Who Dumped Me" (zu deutsch "Bad Spies", läuft schon und vielleicht noch) Note Chris: 2,3

Unsere letzte Episode für dieses Jahr ist voll mit Filmen - allerdings ist keiner davon eine Hausaufgabe. Das haben wir mal wieder nicht geschafft. Dafür waren wir aber recht oft im Kino - die kalte und dunkle Jahreszeit lädt ja gerade dazu ein, sich in einen klimatisierten und...äh...dunklen Raum zu hocken und gemeinsam mit lästigen anderen Menschen auf eine Wand zu starren. Das taten wir also recht häufig in den letzten Wochen, so dass wir folgendes Jahresabschlussprogramm zu bieten haben: 00:07:35 - "Jumanji- Willkommen im Dschungel" (im Original "Jumanji - Welcome to the Jungle", Kinostart in Deutschland am 21. Dezember 2017) Note Chris: 1,7 00:23:46 - "The Killing of a Sacred Deer" (im Original genauso, Kinostart in Deutschland am 28. Dezember 2017 Note Flo: 1,3 00:40:01 - "The Disaster Artist" (im Original genauso, Kinostart in Deutschland am 02. Januar 2018) Note Flo: 1,3 01:02:27 - "Star Wars - Die letzten Jedi" (im Original "Star Wars - The Last Jedi", kommt schon im Kino) Note Chris: 1,3 Note Flo: 1,3 Das war's für 2017 von uns. Es kommt noch eine Podwichtel-Folge, auf die wir auch sehr gespannt sind. Habt schöne Weihnachten und kommt gut ins neue Jahr!

Da sind wir wieder. Während sich in der Film-Podcast-Twitter-Welt gerade wild gegruselt und geekelt wird, bleiben wir horrorfrei und verbringen den größten Teil der aktuellen Folge mit Science Fiction. Immerhin eine Sneak hat sich aber auch noch ins Programm geschlichen. Sneaky bastard... 00:07:21 - "American Assassin" (im Original genauso, Kinostart in Deutschland am 12. Oktober 2017) Note Flo: 2,3 00:22:18 - "Mother!" siehe Episode 132 Note Flo: 2,0 00:30:52 - "Star Trek Discovery" (läuft momentan auf Netflix, jeden Montag eine neue Folge) 00:46:46 - "Blade Runner 2049" (im Original genauso, Kinostart war am 5. Oktober 2017) Note Chris: 1,0 Note Flo: 1,0

Diesmal war Chris fleißiger im Kino als ich - auch das kommt mal vor. Insgesamt hält sich aber die Anzahl an Filmen stark in Grenzen, so dass die Folge auch nicht superlang geworden ist. Mehr so ein Snack als ein Drei-Gänge-Menü. 00:05:51 - "Logan Lucky" (im Original genauso, im Kino seit 14. September 2017) Note Chris: 2,0 Note Flo: 1,7 00:28:12 - "Mother!" (im Original genauso, im Kino auch seit 14. September 2017) Note Chris: 1,7 Und das war's auch schon wieder.

Nach einer gar nicht mal so langen Pause schon wieder eine neue Folge feinsten Filmpodcastings für Feinschmeckerohren. Diesmal allerdings ohne Hausaufgabe, da es in diesem Bereich noch Beschaffungsprobleme gibt, die wir auch ansprechen. Außerdem war am Wochenende in Hamburg Hafengeburtstag oder sowas ähnliches. Ich hab's aber eigentlich kaum mitbekommen... Anyway, wir reden über folgende Filme: 00:17:41 - "Sommerfest" (im Original genauso, Kinostart in Deutschland war am 29. Juni 2017) Note Chris: 2,3 00:35:01 - "Ihre beste Stunde" (im Original "Their Finest", Kinostart in Deutschland war am 6. Juli 2017) Note Flo: 1,7 00:47:16 - "Casino Undercover" (im Original "The House", Kinostart in Deutschland auch am 6. Juli) Note Chris: 2,3 Note Flo: 3,7 Außerdem reden wir noch über "American Gods", das wir zu Ende sahen. Und "Rick & Morty", das wir ein bisschen sahen. Und über unser Sommerblockbuster-Tippspiel, bei dem es für Chris nur so mittelgut aussieht. Denkt er zumindest, der alte Schwarzseher.

In Episode 4, Michael and Elise bring in Christopher Spalding to talk about the binary disks in the Star Trek: Discovery trailer as well as astrophysical disks in general. Note: Chris uses the term "Hill sphere." Listeners may have heard the alternative term "Roche lobe." These are essentially the same. Erratum: Michael calls the Discovery character "Michael Burnhams" when it is actually Michael Burnham.

Nach Wochen und Monaten der Funkstille haben wir uns mal wieder zur Aufnahme einer weiteren Folge heiteren Filmebashings aufgerafft. So viele Filme haben sich aber glücklicherweise in der Zwischenzeit gar nicht angesammelt, so dass wir es fast zu einer ziemlichen Standardepisode haben werden lassen können. Im Einzelnen wurden besprochen: 00:11:13 - "Rush - Alles für den Sieg" (im Original nur "Rush") - Note Chris: 2,0 00:25:35 - "Gold" (im Original genauso, schon im Kino seit 13.

After building a lot of frequent flyer miles from his business-related travel, Chris McGinnis applied his skills as a consultant to teach his coworkers about maximizing their experience. When he realized this was something he could do full time, he jumped at the opportunity. He wrote for local news outlets before picking up a regular gig with CNN, which cemented his expertise as a business travel expert. Today, he is one of the leading authorities on business travel as the director the Travel Skills group, and the host of the Travel Skillz chat on Twitter. He’s an expert in business travel, having been featured inn CNN, BBC, the Wall Street Journal and many more. On this episode, we discuss how Chris stays relevant in today's changing landscape, the future of frequent flyer mile programs, how business travelers can get the most out of their work travel opportunities. Note: Chris mentions that he expects United Airlines to follow Delta in their revenue based model -- in which you earn miles for how much you spend rather than how far you fly. Just this month, United did exactly that. So pay attention to what Chris has to say because clearly he knows his stuff. On this episode, we discuss... How Chris stays relevant in today's changing landscape, The future of frequent flyer mile programs, How business travelers can get the most out of their work travel opportunities Revenue based earning: what is it, and why it's overdue and likely to be the future of frequent flyer miles - and how that effects travel hackers Words from an Explorer "Use the travel that's been given to you by your company as a stepping stone for your own travel." Chris' Best Travel Advice: The First Step: Allow yourself the room to explore. Don't overplan. Also, pickup a few phrases, or learn a few things (customs or facts), it goes a long way with the people in the places you go. Even if you're terrible, demonstrating the effort can endear you to the locals you meet. Let the people you meet guide your travels. Money Saving Tip: Travel during the quietest times of the year. For example, in early April (this year), there's a window between Spring Break and Easter. Traveling in May rather than the summer months can save hundreds, if not thousands, on airfare alone. Right before Thanksgiving is a great time to find deals. The first 2-3 weeks of December and January are the cheapest times to travel with last minute deals popping up everywhere. Packing: Don't stress over packing because you can always buy something wherever you go. Having to buy something gives you an excuse to explore the shops of your destination. Favorite Internet Travel Resource: There's no single best website for finding deals. You have to do your homework. Favorite Travel Gear: Chris loves his rolling carry on, which he's learned how to live from. Favorite Travel Book: The Unofficial Business Traveler Pocket Guides by Chris McGinnis Weirdest Food: Jellyfish and Sea Cucumber ("it's a slug!"), in Shanghai, China Like the show?

Show Notes In which we talk about headline-writing in general, click-bait headlines in particular, and why we don’t think that click-bait headlines are a “best practice”—or really a good thing at all. How these realities shape all sorts of discourse, not just headline-writing, including political stances. Note: Chris kept talking about Slate when he meant not Slate (and specifically “Pajiba.com”).

After the “incident” with Chris on Friday that resulted in no podcast being released for the first official day of Gallifrey 21, Radio Free Skaro returned today in full force with interviews with Nick Briggs, Phil Ford, and Rob Shearman. Listen to these three fine gentlemen regale you with tales of woe, whimsy, and water – not necessarily in that order. NOTE: Chris’s appearance on this podcast is purely due to contractual obligation.
