 Dr. Naphtali Hoff trains school leaders and teachers to perform at their best without running themselves into the ground. A former educator and school leader himself, Dr. Hoff now coaches and trains school leaders on management, productivity, and delegation across the country. He's the author of three books, and his newest, Becoming the Delegating School Boss, is the one most relevant here — it helps school leaders clear their plates and empower their teams. Dr. Naphtali Hoff joins the Ruckuscast to break down why so many principals resist letting go, and what it actually takes to build a team you can trust. Every principal has felt it: the sense that if they left the building for a day, something would fall apart. That's not a compliment — it's a delegation problem, and it's quietly running good leaders into the ground. This episode breaks down why school leaders won't let go, and the exact framework for handing off real work without losing control of it.

What happens when a cidermaker decides to do less and give cider more time? Spencer Morris of Sowams Cider Works in Warren, Rhode Island, makes cider with more than 70 apple varieties, old mechanical rack-and-cloth presses, glass demijohns and a remarkably hands-off approach. Explore still cider, single-varietal apples, long aging on the lees, native fermentation, and why some Sowams ciders aren't released until they are three or four years old.

The Searchlight by Virginia Woolf — Full Short Story Read Aloud | Sleep Story for Insomnia, Anxiety & Deep Sleep | Books at Bedtime A calming bedtime story to help you fall asleep — the complete, unabridged short story The Searchlight by Virginia Woolf, narrated slowly and softly for anyone who can't sleep, lying awake with insomnia, anxiety or a racing mind at three in the morning. A warm, moonless summer night in London. An eighteenth-century mansion is a club now, and after dinner a small party drifts out onto the balcony above the park to drink coffee in the dark. Rods of light wheel across the sky — the Air Force practising, searching for enemy aircraft — sweeping over a stone front, over a chestnut tree in full blossom, and then, for a second, straight across the balcony itself. And Mrs Ivimey says: you'll never guess what that made me see. You can listen offline, any time you wake in the night, in the Anchored app — 

She studies why anti-racist professional development in schools so often fails to change how teachers actually treat students — and what works instead. Dr Abby C. Emerson is an assistant professor of Childhood Education at Hunter College, CUNY, where her research spans anti-racist and abolitionist teacher education, restorative justice, and the critique of whiteness in educational spaces. She's been named National Association for Multicultural Education's Critical Teacher of the Year, and this fall she releases her book, From Anti-Racism to Professional Learning for Liberating Schools, with Harvard Education Press. Most schools running anti-racist professional development hit the same wall: teachers learn the theory, reflect on their own bias, update a unit — and the discipline data doesn't move. Dr. Abby C. Emerson studied schools across New York City to find out why, and she found the fix isn't another workshop. It's handing the mic to students.

The Man Who Loved His Kind by Virginia Woolf — Full Short Story Read Aloud | Sleep Story for Insomnia, Anxiety & Deep Sleep | Books at Bedtime A calming bedtime story to help you fall asleep — the complete, unabridged short story The Man Who Loved His Kind by Virginia Woolf, narrated slowly and softly for anyone lying awake with insomnia, anxiety or a racing mind in the small hours. Trotting through Deans Yard one afternoon, Prickett Ellis runs straight into Richard Dalloway. They were at school together and haven't met in twenty years. There's an invitation to a party that evening, accepted before either man quite means it — and Prickett Ellis, a plain, hard-working barrister who has never cared for society, spends the whole night standing against a wall in a borrowed dress suit, watching people he has decided to despise.

In the Orchard by Virginia Woolf — Full Short Story Read Aloud | Sleep Story for Insomnia, Anxiety & Deep Sleep | Books at Bedtime A calming bedtime story to help you fall asleep — the complete, unabridged short story In the Orchard by Virginia Woolf, narrated slowly and softly for anyone lying awake with insomnia, anxiety or a racing mind in the small hours. Miranda is asleep in the orchard, in a long chair under an apple tree. Her book has fallen into the grass. That is all that happens — and Woolf tells it three times over, from three different heights. First from four feet above her head, where the schoolchildren's chanting and the church organ and a drunk man's cry all pass over the sleeping girl. Then from inside her own drifting mind, where the sounds turn into cliffs and horses and the sea. Then from nowhere at all: twenty-four apple trees, a wagtail, a thrush, a purple dress, and the whole orchard held quietly together by its walls.

Building AI tools that replace one-size-fits-all personality tests with real career plans is what got Corey Kossack into K12 education. He's the founder and CEO of Orchard, an AI-powered career counseling platform for schools, and Aspireship, an employee upskilling platform — work born from watching his own father cycle in and out of a job he hated for years. Kossack has spent his career helping people who want to help themselves climb toward ambitious goals, and Orchard is the result: an AI career counselor named Orchie, paired with real interviews from working professionals across hundreds of occupations. For Ruckus Makers wrestling with overworked counselors and an outdated career-readiness playbook, that's the credential that matters. Most schools still run career readiness on a conveyor belt: next grade, next test, college, then hope for the best. Corey Kossack argues that model was built for a workforce AI has already started dismantling — and he's built a system for what comes after it. This is the episode for any Ruckus Maker rethinking what career readiness actually means right now.

Clinton artists Gabi Torres and Chris Shannon have helped put the city of Clinton on the map with their annual Paint it Back event. Starting as an effort to activate a vacant building with artists' murals near the Mississippi River in 2023 has gotten bigger each year, with an art market, live music, kids activities and more. For its fourth year, they're moving west to downtown with a mission to make this its biggest year ever. We talk with co-founder Gabi Torres, Paint it Back Board President Matt Parbs on the impact its had on the Clinton community, and Colorado-based artist James Foster, aka East, who has taken part in the event since its second year. Then, a new art installation on the pond at Wilson's Orchard in Cumming appears as a quilt, and absorbs excess nitrates from the water. We talk with its creators, Drake University professors Emily Newman and Edward Kelley. They co-founded the Parts Per Million Collective, an art collaboration that addresses climate change through art.

What are you planting in the dark?In this episode, Michael sits down with Matthew Wingo — founder of Turn Right Ministry and author of Turn Right: The Pursuit of Noble Things — a man whose story runs so close to Michael's own that he calls him his twin in journey. Matthew was winning in public and losing in private, quietly tending what he calls a "hidden orchard" of buried emotions, isolation, and secret struggle. For nine years he watered those seeds in silence — until the harvest came, costing him two marriages and sending him into a prodigal season that ended with nothing left but Jesus and the ashes.Matthew and Michael go deep on the fear of failure, the lie that you're the exception to God's grace, the moment of confession across the table from a mentor who just kept smiling and saying "you're forgiven," and why the trials that follow us out of the far country are the very crucible God uses to refine us.If you've ever felt too far gone — if shame has become your identity — this conversation is for you. You're never out of His reach.IN THIS EPISODE:The hidden orchard: why bad things grow in the darkThe prodigal son isn't a salvation story — it's a squandered-inheritance storyOwning 100% of your 5%Step 4 inventory: connecting the dots of your own wiringThe power of confession with a trusted brotherWhy testimony gives hope that theology alone can'tGrab Matthew's book Turn Right: The Pursuit of Noble Things — available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple Books, and Google Play.Until next time — keep being intentional.Let's get coffee.

One year ago, almost to the day, I sat down and wrote about cookies. Except I wasn't really writing about cookies. I was writing about my daughter. The premise was simple. We all mature at different rates on different things, and just like a good batch of cookies, sometimes we need more time in the oven to become what we're meant to be. You don't throw the batch out. You give it more heat and more time. Well, the oven timer has gone off. It's time to see how the cookies turned out.

We are truly nearing the end, cortexifans - so much so that you could make the argument that, even though this isn't the penultimate episode of our podcast, we are covering the penultimate episode of the series given the fact that 5.12 and 5.13 aired together the same night as a two-hour finale. We talk about this incredibly important episode and all of the answers that it finally gives us alongside Fringe Connections creator Michael London.

Frowning Hours is the indie folk-rock project of Irish singer-songwriter and actor Ger Kelly, whose evocative songwriting and distinctive voice have quickly earned him a growing reputation on Ireland's live music scene. Before stepping into the spotlight as a recording artist, Kelly spent more than 15 years working as a professional actor, performing on some of Ireland's most prestigious stages, including The Abbey Theatre, The Gate Theatre, and with Druid Theatre Company. His theatre career saw him appear in acclaimed productions of works by Sean O'Casey, Shakespeare, and many other celebrated playwrights. Music has long been an integral part of Kelly's artistic journey. His haunting vocals featured in numerous theatrical productions, from original scores by composer Tom Lane to works by Stephen Sondheim. It was through these experiences that he discovered a passion for songwriting and began developing his own musical voice. He later studied songwriting at BIMM Dublin, leaving the course early when a major acting opportunity arose. Since launching Frowning Hours in 2024, Kelly has built a loyal and steadily growing audience. His first six singles have received widespread radio support and critical praise, establishing him as one of Ireland's most promising emerging folk artists. His latest release, 'The Orchard' marks the next chapter in a musical journey that has been years in the making. As a live performer, Kelly has appeared on some of Ireland's biggest stages and festivals, including Whelan's, Electric Picnic, and All Together Now, and has shared bills with and supported acclaimed artists such as Mick Flannery. Alongside his music career, Kelly continues to work as an actor and recently appeared in the Netflix series ‘Bodkin' as Teddy, a blacksmith described as having "the voice of an angel", a fitting reflection of the qualities that define his music. Combining the storytelling instincts of a seasoned actor with the emotional honesty of a songwriter, Frowning Hours creates intimate, atmospheric songs that resonate long after the final note. His debut single, ‘Someone Who Won't' and all subsequent releases are available on major streaming platforms. On his latest single, ‘The Orchard', Frowning Hours delivers a poignant meditation on empathy, connection and the quiet hope of finding our way back to one another. Blending warm indie-folk textures with buoyant melodies, the song reflects on a world where we're more connected than ever, yet often feel profoundly alone. Rather than offering easy answers, ‘The Orchard' invites listeners to look beyond first impressions and recognise the unseen experiences everyone carries. It's a gentle call for compassion, understanding and the restoration of the sense of community that can often feel absent in modern life. “‘The Orchard' seems to change its meaning for me every now and again,” says Ger Kelly. “Ultimately, I think it's a song about the resuscitation of a sense of community that seems to be lost these days. It's a call for compassion and understanding. It's very strange to me how, in the golden age of communication, there's so much isolation. I guess I'm just trying to say, ‘Hello in there,' like John Prine advised.” With its thoughtful lyricism and quietly uplifting spirit, ‘The Orchard' captures the emotional honesty that has become a hallmark of Frowning Hours' songwriting. It's a reminder that even in an increasingly disconnected world, empathy remains one of our most powerful ways of finding each other again.

Privacy is having a moment in crypto. As competition heats up, the pitfalls of the technology around the quantum threat, regulatory risk and more make the trajectory hard to predict. A counterfeit bug sat undetected in Zcash's Orchard privacy pool for four years, capable of minting an unlimited supply of untraceable coins, illustrating the risks of one of the hottest crazes in crypto. Joe Andrews, CEO of Aztec Labs, Jarrad Hope, founder of Logos, and Mert Mumtaz, cofounder and CEO of Helius, join Laura Shin to argue the bug is less alarming than what it reveals: cryptographic privacy is difficult to get right, and the industry is racing to get it right anyway, because institutions will not come onchain without it.

Is the past truly fixed, or is it merely waiting for someone brave enough to rewrite it?

In this episode, we sit down with Stefan Sobkowiak, permaculture educator and renowned Youtuber at The Permaculture Orchard, to explore how to design and manage holistic, diverse agricultural ecosystems. We dive deep into his guiding philosophy that “nothing beats easy,” his background in wildlife biology, and the catastrophic tent caterpillar outbreak that transformed his conventional apple orchard into a biodiversity lab. Stefan deconstructs Bill Mollison's three phases of abundance and introduces his innovative “grocery store” design concept, explaining how grouping companion trees by harvest date completely revolutionizes the pick-your-own farm experience. The conversation highlights the powerful ecological synergies of combining perennial fruit trees with nitrogen-fixing species, annual vegetables, and pastured poultry to naturally optimize soil fertility. Finally, we discuss his playful "magic model" for farm planning, his perspective on utilizing AI as a personalized learning tutor, and how his parent's experience during World War II instilled in him the importance of food security, resilience, and human relationships. Timestamps [00:00] Intro [05:16] Reflecting on Diego Footer and the profound early community legacy of Permaculture Voices.[08:52] "Nothing beats easy" - Choosing crops based on what grows like a weed.[15:33] The side quest from wildlife biology to landscape architecture to building functional animal habitats.[20:51] Professor Caterpillar - Surviving a catastrophic monoculture harvest and shifting to permaculture design.[30:22] Simulating a volcano: Unlocking high-yielding soil dynamics through compost and basalt rock dust.[45:31] Bill Mollison's blueprint: Replanting a diverse layout with nitrogen-fixing guilds.[56:07] Launching a low-cost nursery. [01:08:03] Deconstructing Mollison's three phases of abundance and tracking regional seed adaptations.[01:21:25] Seasonal taste cravings and how nutrient density triggers our instinctive diet.[01:42:10] Designing the "grocery store" layout to group crops by seasonal harvest dates.[02:05:1]1 Rapid Fire Q&A: Reading Sir Albert Howard, using AI as a tutor, and generational memory.SponsorsDubois Agrinovation: Get 10% off by choosing the promo code ‘MasterClass – Jean-Martin Fortier' when you create an account.

Nematodes may be hidden underground, but they can have a major impact on the long-term productivity of orchards, vineyards, and specialty crops. In this What's Working in Ag segment, Daniel Abruzzini of Corteva joins Farm4Profit to discuss Salibro, an innovative nematicide that's changing how growers manage root-knot, lesion, and ring nematodes in perennial cropping systems. Unlike traditional fumigation practices performed before planting, Salibro offers growers the flexibility to make in-season chemigation applications through existing irrigation systems, helping protect valuable orchards throughout their productive lifespan. Daniel also shares insights into California specialty crop production, including almonds, walnuts, grapes, citrus, leafy vegetables, brassicas, tomatoes, and more, while explaining why healthy root systems are critical for maximizing production over decades. Topics include: What nematodes are and why they matter Traditional fumigation versus in-season management Salibro chemigation applications Root-knot, lesion, and ring nematodes Orchard establishment and longevity California specialty crop production Irrigation and chemigation systems Soil sampling and treatment thresholds Root health and yield protection Long-term orchard profitability Whether you farm orchards, vineyards, specialty crops, or simply want to learn about emerging crop protection technologies, this episode offers a practical look at one of agriculture's newest tools for underground pest management.   Want Farm4Profit Merch?

Praying in the Spirit: What It Is, How to Start and Why It Matters | Ephesians 6:18What does it actually mean to pray in the Spirit? In the final episode of their Ephesians series, Rachel and Amy land on Ephesians 6:18 and ask the question most of us have wondered: how do you know you're praying in the Spirit and not just saying stuff?They talk honestly and practically about the gift of tongues. What it feels like. How you start. Why it can seem strange at first and why that shouldn't put you off. Rachel shares what happened when her son was born and the room suddenly went from serene to panic, and Amy describes reaching for tongues like a machine gun every time fear comes knocking.They also explore what it looks like to shift from praying your will to praying God's will, and why letting go of your own agenda in prayer is more powerful than you'd think.Honest, warm and rooted in scripture.→ Stay ConnectedConference Tickets — theorchardwomen.comGive to the Orchard — theorchardwomen.com/giveInstagram — /theorchardwomenWebsite — theorchardwomen.com

Walking out of Star Wars Land after the fireworks, I genuinely wondered if this was the moment we called it a night. We'd been in the parks for over twelve hours. My legs felt like they belonged to someone else and wished I'd find one of those hover chairs from Wall-E to melt into. I was ready to wave a white flag made out of a churro wrapper.

Ever since he first received his first bitcoin in 2013, Joël Valenzuela has been on a quest to use free market electronic cash to pay for everything. Today, he is still unbanked and looking for ways to make instant payments without a bank account. He is best known for working for the DASH cryptocurrency project. But over the years, he's collaborated with plenty of other projects (mostly those related with private payments) and he possesses a wealth of knowledge in terms of adoption, everyday use as money, and user experience. Since Joël practices what he preaches and lives without fiat or banks, he is a bona fide advocate of inconvenience: using ATMs, purchasing gift cards, and trying every workaround that helps him accomplish the mission of never using fiat currencies. 00:00:00 Intro & sponsors: living without banks with Joël Valenzuela 00:02:18 The Vlad Costea handle saga & paying X to keep your name 00:04:20 Where the "Desert Lynx" name actually comes from 00:09:04 Joël's origin story: how Peter Schiff led him to Bitcoin 00:10:16 Growing up on the border & the Mexican peso crisis 00:12:16 First Bitcoin: the Chicago pizza payback of 2013 00:14:27 Silk Road's shutdown & the chaos of the Mt.

We're in the final section of Ephesians. Sit, walk, stand. This is the stand.In part 21 of their Ephesians series, Rachel and Amy work through the armour of God in Ephesians 6:10-17, asking what it actually means to put it on. Not as a metaphor to admire, but as a daily reality to live in.They talk about why the battle is never with flesh and blood, what it looks like to recognise spiritual attack in ordinary life, and why every single piece of armour points back to the same thing: not try harder, but surrender.

When you run your own business, there's a version of the struggle that you can push through with sheer willpower and optimism. But after a while, the optimism gets harder to manufacture. The bank account tells a different story than the one you keep rehearsing in your head, and eventually, the story the bank account is telling starts to feel more real. That's where I was a few months ago when the grind got the best of me. The post SILY 707- Grind and Rise appeared first on Golden Spiral Media- Entertainment Podcasts, Technology Podcasts & More.

Episode 509 takes us to the heart of Latvia to meet Dace and Māris Plūme, the husband-and-wife team behind Mr. Plūme, an award-winning orchard cidery known for both still and naturally sparkling ciders. Their journey began with a chance taste of homemade cider that inspired Māris to train in Normandy and Austria before returning home to help shape Latvia's growing fine cider movement. Along the way, they explain why still cider deserves a place alongside sparkling cider, how heirloom apples define their work, the role of wild fermentation, and why patience is one of a cider maker's greatest tools. Ria also shares the latest News from Out and About Ciderville, including updates on CiderCon 2027, eCiderNews, GLINTCAP, orchards around the world, and this fall's French Cider Tour.

I love Batman and my favorite Batman is Michael Keaton. But it's not just his portrayal of Batman and Bruce Wayne that I love. I love Tim Burton's art style and direction and I absolutely love Danny Elfman's musical score. But my favorite piece of that score is not one that you'll find in either Batman or Batman Returns.

Witnessing adaptation is one of our great pleasures. How does one transform an audio medium into a visual one? How will the podcast World Beyond Number, from Brennan Lee Mulligan, Erika Ishii, Aabria Iyengar, and Lou Wilson, expand into The Wizard, The Witch, and The Wild One, courtesy of comic storytellers Jadzia Axelrod and Sarah Webb? When the chance to ponder the thought arose with some of those involved, we jumped at it. There are only days left ot support Worlds Beyond Wonder: The Wizard, the Witch, and the Wild One via Kickstarter. As of this writing, it's already reached over $1.8 million. The book is happening and will be published through Skybound Entertainment. Join the party in confidence. We spoke with Brennan Lee Mulligan, Erika Ishii, and Lou Wilson about their love of comics and the delight they've discovered in watching Jadzia Axelrod and Sarah Webb bring their story to this medium. We relish the love evident in their play, found in every Worlds Beyond Number episode. We discuss nerdom not as a monolith, but as an endless pebbly beach. This episode was a fantastic surprise, but not as big a surprise as the email we recently received that threw our lives into turmoil (which is the topic of today's introduction).

In its pages, you'll see Bram Stoker's Dracula working for the Allies during World War II. Like a bomb, he's dropped from a plane upon a secret Nazi gold train. He lands in the caboose. He proceeds to slaughter his way toward the engine. Many losers are torn limb from limb. Folks have already compared its action to John Wick, but it's more like Game of Death smashed with Snowpiercer. As Dracula works his bloody way down the train, new foes present themselves, boss-level style, and each one represents a different mindset or philosophy. Porter and Cannon excel in the excessive bodily harm, but simmering beneath the violence is a powerful reckoning with the human experience and the darkest depths our species can plunge. In the last few years, we've spent a lot of time pondering vampires, mortals, and their relationship to the soul. How fun to have Kenny Porter and Tyrell Cannon on the podcast this week to discuss bloodsuckers, human monsters, evil, and capital E Evil. This is a full-spoilers conversation about Operation: Iron Coffin #1. Be warned. However, this is kind of an unspoilable book. Nothing we say in this podcast can rob the comic of its visual might. So, listen based on your own spoiler sensitivity. But, seriously, you should just grab the comic the next time you're in the shop. Follow Kenny Porter on Instagram and Bluesky.

It's fantastic when a comic gives you a jolt. Beast of Borikén, written by Julio Anta and illustrated by Daniel Irizarri, delivers a great prod, stimulating your brain to run numerous scenarios on and off the page. It's the story of a people who've witnessed so much monstrosity at the hands of invaders. It's a story of people finding strength in their neighbors, ancestors, and legends. The first issue is out now, from Dark Horse Comics and Tiny Onion, and we investigate it meaningfully with both storytellers. Set in Puerto Rico, the main character is Loli, an activist protesting an incoming resort, the face of which is yuppy CEO Simon Hunt, who is using every slippery trick in the book to break ground despite opposition. Loli is incensed and focused on stopping the overdevelopment of her ancestral lands, but is her fixation in part because she is avoiding processing a horrendous grief, since her father died alone in a hospital during Hurricane Maria? This week on the podcast, we speak with Julio Anta and Daniel Irizarri about Beast of Borikén, witnessing endless horror, and hope through collective action. We discuss the influence of The Creature from the Black Lagoon and the appeal of monsters. Also, what does it all have to do with Robocop 2? You'll have to make your way through the intro to understand all that. Beast of Borikén #1 is out now from Dark Horse Comics and Tiny Onion. It's written by Julio Anta, illustrated by Daniel Irizarri, colored by Patricio Delpeche, and lettered by Lucas Gattoni. Follow Julio Anta on Instagram and Bluesky.

No one is more surprised than we are. Frank Miller, the legendary comics maker behind Daredevil: Born Again, Ronin, Batman: Year One, Sin City, and The Dark Knight Returns, which celebrates its fortieth anniversary this year, joins us this week to discuss his career as he filtered it through his new memoir/self-help book, Push The Wall: My Life, Writing, Drawing, and The Art of Storytelling. His latest creation floored us. Broken into sixteen lessons, Push the Wall sees Frank Miller excavate his past to understand his pursuit of storytelling. He attempts to explain his rebellious nature and a need to throw himself against opposing forces, but in the process, reveals the awesome, unbeatable power of change. He treats the reader as his mentors did, like Neal Adams and Dick Giordano. Push the Wall works not only as motivation for the struggling artist, but also for the struggling human. The aggression and fascination for violence are present, but more importantly, Push the Wall contains a great softness or vulnerability. Frank Miller is not a creator who doubles down on past mistakes; he admits regret and offers encouragement to everyone who must fail to grow. We're beyond delighted to have Frank Miller on the podcast. We discuss how “The City” was the first to change him, why The Dark Knight Returns should not be the template for all Batman stories, and whether or not Robocop 2 is an essential ingredient in his vocation. Push the Wall: My Life, Writing, Drawing, and the Art of Storytelling arrives in bookstores everywhere on July 14th. Make sure you're following Frank Miller on Instagram and his website.

Send us Fan Mail Some memories do not just hurt, they keep happening inside us. If you have ever felt like you are living 10 years in the past while bracing 10 years into the future, this conversation will feel uncomfortably familiar and genuinely hopeful. We sit down with EMDR therapist Molly Orchard to break down Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy in plain English. We talk about what EMDR is, what it is not (no, it is not hypnosis), and why bilateral stimulation through eye movements, tapping, or sound can help the brain reprocess traumatic memories in a way that reduces the emotional charge. Molly explains how EMDR is designed to mimic REM sleep, how sessions stay focused on a specific memory or theme, and how a simple 0 to 10 distress scale helps you track real change as you go. Molly also shares her personal path from growing up in a turbulent household to recognising the survival-mode patterns that followed her into adulthood, including hypervigilance, strained relationships, and dissociation. We explore why trauma can show up in the body, how adverse childhood experiences connect to long-term health, and why finding a well-trained EMDR clinician you trust is a non-negotiable foundation for trauma healing. If you are searching for EMDR therapy insights, PTSD support, childhood trauma recovery, or a talk-therapy alternative that feels practical and body-aware, you will leave with a clearer picture of what healing can look like.

With a little help from filmmaker Ben Wheatley, our 2000 AD obsession kicks into high gear this week. The filmmaker behind such brutally banger movies as Kill List, A Field in England, High-Rise, and this year's Bob Odenkirk actioner, Normal, joins the podcast to discuss his eight-chaptered 2000 AD comic, Judge Dee, which recently wrapped in Prog 2487. Even better, Judge Dee is a sequel to an iconic Judge Dredd story from forty-two years ago, The Haunting of Sector House 9, which encouraged us to dig deep in the franchise's history. It's only fitting that Wheatley layers his 2000 AD tale with a classic, 80s-era cinematic sub-genre, the buddy-cop adventure. It's a little Lethal Weapon, but maybe even more Heart Condition, for those that can recall that complicated (ie problematic) Denzel Washington/Bob Hoskins ghost cop comedy. Ya see, PSI Judge Dee carries a secret. Wherever she travels, she's got a demonic passenger with her, Klato. However, this is not a case of a filmmaker making their way to comics for a little fun. Wheatley is a lifelong Prog reader. It's been his dream to finally scrounge around Mega-City One and add a little lore to this massive universe. Given the opportunity, he knew he wanted to springboard from The Haunting of Sector House 9, pick up where that horror left off, only decades later, and deliver his unique, grotesque, and funky perspective. This week, we're talking Judge Dredd, binary thinking, buddy cops, and surviving the dystopian present with Ben Wheatley. Judge Dee is written by Wheatley, illustrated by Simon Coleby, colored by Jack Davies, and lettered by Simon Bowland. Judge Dee chapters one through five can be found in Progs 2467 - 2471, and Judge Dee chapters six through eight can be found in Progs 2485 - 2487. You can find them all on 2000AD's website. You can follow Ben Wheatley on Instagram. This Week's Sponsors The Future is Calling! 2000 AD is the Galaxy's Greatest Comic, with new issues published every single week!
