Joseph L. Flatley is a journalist living in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, who specializes in conspiracy culture. He's spoken with (and written about) Jonestown survivors, realtors for deluxe doomsday bunkers, and Julian Assange, to name only a few. His stories have appeared in a number of publications, including The Verge, Pando, and CounterPunch. Joseph will be presenting live at EnochiaCon 2026 in Austin, Texas and his new book THE OCCULT TIMOTHY LEARY has just been released from Inner Traditions. Get it today: https://amzn.to/3Pv5buR (Only 19.99) Explore the esoteric knowledge and experiences of the psychedelic pioneer • Reveals Leary's immersion in the Western occult tradition, his Eight Circuit Model of consciousness, and his theories on post-terrestrial human evolution • Details Leary's tarot deck by looking at its unique card order, astrological correspondences, and practical uses for divination • Describes Leary's encounters with figures such as Ram Dass and Robert Anton Wilson as well as revolutionary groups like the Weather Underground and the Black Panthers Timothy Leary, American psychologist and countercultural icon, is well known for his advocacy of psychedelic drugs and controversial experiments on human consciousness. What is less well known is his deep interest in Western esotericism, a dimension that Joseph L. Flatley explores in-depth. Flatley recounts Leary's early life and career trajectory, highlighting the esoteric influences that informed his occult activities as well as his thoughts on reincarnation and his futuristic views of computers and human evolution. Readers will learn about Leary's encounters with 20th-century groups and figures like Ram Dass, the Weather Underground, the Black Panthers, and Robert Anton Wilson, all of whom influenced his psychic explorations and the development of his eight-circuit model for understanding altered states of consciousness and the potential for transcendent experiences. Flatley also details the role of the tarot in Leary's life and philosophy, showing how Leary created his own version of the deck, which is featured in this book. Flatley then reveals the correspondences between Leary's deck and his eight-circuit model of consciousness and guides readers on how to use this tarot for divination.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/magick-without-fears-frater-r-c-hermetic-podcast/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Send us Fan MailSixty seconds of total silence doesn't sound that long… until you're standing on a Persian rug making eye contact with some of the most famous investors in America.This week, Megan Pando joins me to talk about what Shark Tank actually feels like from the inside — the nerves, the pressure, the mindset shifts, and what happened after the cameras stopped rolling.But this episode goes way deeper than TV.We talk about:✨ Building Makers Social through uncertainty, failed deals, and brutal “in-between” seasons✨ Getting ghosted in business and the stories we create when people don't close the loop✨ Why scaling fast isn't always the goal✨ Franchising vs. corporate growth and protecting culture while growing✨ Being a single mom entrepreneur✨ Handling criticism without losing yourself✨ Grief, emo music, bravery, freedom, and redefining success on your own termsThis conversation is honest, funny, emotional, and probably way too relatable if you've ever questioned yourself while building something big.And maybe the biggest takeaway?Trying new things while you're bad at them might actually be the whole point.

En el quinto programa de su quinta temporada, “Esto ya se ha hecho” se centra en aquellos aspectos del oficio de guionista que van más allá de lo puramente profesional y tienen que ver con lo humano. Por ejemplo: ¿cómo se convive con la inestabilidad laboral y económica? ¿Cuál es la rutina ideal de trabajo? ¿Es frustrante no encontrar tiempo nunca para sacar adelante los proyectos más personales? Y en el caso de tener familia: ¿cómo se compatibiliza una profesión tan peculiar con la vida en pareja? ¿O con el cuidado de los hijos?Para hablar de todo esto, Sara Antuña y Carlos de Pando reciben a dos guionistas con una larga experiencia: Ángela Armero (“Si yo fuera rico”, “Velvet”, “Un lío de millones”) y Jon Sagalá (“Bosque de sombras”, “Karabudjan”, “Chiringuito de Pepe”).Y en la sección “Turra sindical”, Pablo Bartolomé y Borja González Santaolalla hacen balance de las ayudas a la escritura de guiones concedidas por el ICAA en 2025 y adelantan (atención aquí) que este año volverán a convocarse.Si tienes alguna duda sobre guión que quieras que resolvamos en directo, puedes escribirnos a podcastalma@sindicatoalma.es Escucha un nuevo episodio de “Esto ya se ha hecho” cada miércoles en Youtube, Spotify, Apple, Amazon Music e Ivoox.¡Tu afiliación es nuestra fuerza!

Episode Description Sign up to receive this Unreached of the Day podcast sent to you: https://joshuaproject.net/people_groups/16353/IN Dear Friend, The Batak people of North Sumatra didn't have a written language until 1834. Today, they're one of the largest Christian populations in Indonesia, with over 6 million believers. The transformation happened because someone, a German missionary named Ludwig Nommensen, decided their spiritual poverty was unacceptable. That was 190 years ago. Today, 4,473 people groups are still waiting for their Ludwig Nommensen moment. The People Group Adoption Program launches today, and here's how it works: It meets you where you are. You're not being asked to become a missionary in the field (though if God calls you to that, we'll cheer you on). You're being invited to use your current gifts, prayer, advocacy, networking, research to support those who are already called to go. https://joshuaproject.net/people_groups/16353/IN
Charles and Jon chat with Nick Mcphee, founder of Nick's Adventures Bolivia, from his home in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia.Nick explains how a childhood love of wildlife - inspired by growing up near Steve Irwin's Australia Zoo - led him to Bolivia after five years in the Australian army and another three working in Afghanistan's Helmand Province. He talks about the many - and exceptionally diverse - mammalwatching opportunities in Bolivia that range from what is arguably Latin America's best Jaguar watching through to mega-mammals like Chaco Peccaries, Giant Armadillos and Goeldi's Monkey. Plus Nick describes the many and diverse threats these animals are facing: threats that he is passionate about tackling through the ecotourism he is pioneering.Nick has more than his fair share of funny stories from running tours. We hear about the time that someone mistook a cup of vinegar for water. And we learn what can happen when a married couple turn up on a jungle trip with wildly differing expectations!The podcast opens with notes from the field from Jon's February trip to Guatemala and we chat about our 2023 visit to Klalik Village in West Papua that is now in the news.For more information visit www.mammalwatching.com/podcastNotes: There are dozens of trip reports from tours with Nick's Adventures on mammalwatching's Bolivia page.

Sara Antuña y Carlos de Pando cruzan al otro lado y, por una vez, son ellos los que reciben a dos directores de desarrollo (es decir, las personas que deciden qué proyectos de serie o película pueden ser adquiridos por una productora).En concreto, los presentadores de nuestro podcast charlan con Alejandra Sabá (Zeta Studios) y Tomás Silberman (Buendía Estudios), que nos dan algunas claves para enfrentarse a uno de los trances que más respeto infunde en el sector: vender tu guión.Y en la sección “Turra sindical”, Josep Gatell nos recuerda qué requisitos debe cumplir el calendario de pagos que sí o sí tienes que negociar una vez te ha sido adjudicado un proyecto.Si tienes alguna duda sobre guión que quieras que resolvamos en directo, puedes escribirnos a podcastalma@sindicatoalma.es Escucha un nuevo episodio de “Esto ya se ha hecho” cada miércoles en Youtube, Spotify, Apple, Amazon Music e Ivoox.¡Tu afiliación es nuestra fuerza!
Episode 421 of The VentureFizz Podcast features Harris Stolzenberg, Partner at Pear VC. I spend a lot of time on LinkedIn and in my travels, I love discovering individuals who are local to the Boston area but are perhaps working for a meaningful company that is headquartered elsewhere. This is what happened when I stumbled on Harris' profile - I stopped and thought to myself… wait, Pear has an investor in Boston who is leading the firm's expansion to the East Coast? No way - game on and off I went to connect with Harris and ultimately bring you this interview! Pear is a west coast pre-seed / seed stage VC firm which has invested in over 200 companies like Doordash, Gusto, Vanta, Dropbox, and many more. The firm also offers an exclusive, small batch accelerator program for pre-seed companies called PearX. In this episode of our podcast, we cover: * Harris's best networking advice plus tactical tips. * His background playing lacrosse at MIT, and the incredible story of how he raised money for the Boston Marathon bombing victims which even led to a personal donation from Oprah. * Getting his start in investment banking before moving into the startup world at Pando and eventually landing his first role at Pear. * The story of Flock, the company retreat platform he co-founded, its eventual acquisition, and the hard-won lessons he took from that experience. * His transition back to the East Coast and his time serving as Chief of Staff at Pillar VC. * His current role at Pear as a Partner, the firm's approach to investing, and all the details on how the PearX program works. * Harris' thoughts on the Boston tech ecosystem. * Plus, so much more!
“Esto ya se ha hecho” continúa con su quinta temporada. Y lo hace a lo grande, entrevistando nada menos que a Isabel Coixet, que acaba de estrenar en España “Tres adioses”, la película basada en el libro de Michela Murgia “Tres cuencos”.Sara Antuña y Carlos de Pando charlan con la directora y guionista catalana sobre esta adaptación literaria, sobre su método de escritura y sobre su obra en general, incluyendo la serie que este mismo mes de marzo estrena en Francia. Y en la “Turra sindical”, Diana Rojo y Borja González Santaolalla te dan algunos trucos para que no te pierdas ese festival en el que se estrena la película o la serie que has escrito (y al que seguramente no te han invitado).Si tienes alguna duda sobre guión que quieras que resolvamos en directo, puedes escribirnos a podcastalma@sindicatoalma.es Escucha un nuevo episodio de “Esto ya se ha hecho” cada miércoles en Youtube, Spotify, Apple, Amazon Music e Ivoox.¡Tu afiliación es nuestra fuerza!
This is a remake of one of our first episodes because the original sound was harsh and uneven when I started the podcast. For tonight's talk, I invite you to a long moment in the woods. We explore the origins of plants and how they evolved from microscopic algae to mosses, ferns, seed plants with or without flowers. I also discuss the life cycle of trees, their composition, and many often unnoticed aspects, such as their ability to exchange signals, connect by their roots, develop mutualistic relationships or adapt to different environments. We also review extraordinary trees: Hyperion, the tallest tree in the world, Methuselah, the oldest independent tree (both in California); the Arbol de Tule, the stouter known tree (Mexico), and extremely old clonal colonies like Old Tjikko in Sweden and Pando in Utah. This podcast is entirely scripted and recorded by real people, it includes no AI, and mid-roll ad breaks are turned off so that you can relax without interruption. #sleep #bedtimestory #asmr #sleepstory #nature #trees Welcome to Lights Out Library Join me for a sleepy adventure tonight.

“Esto ya se ha hecho” inaugura su quinta temporada con una serie aún más longeva que nuestro podcast: “Aída”. O, mejor dicho, con la película sobre “Aída” recientemente estrenada en los cines españoles: “Aída y vuelta”.Sara Antuña y Carlos de Pando charlan con el guionista Fernando Pérez y con el actor y director Secun de la Rosa sobre cómo fue el proceso de resucitar a unos personajes tan populares, sobre cómo surgió la idea de recurrir a la metaficción y sobre otras cuestiones íntimamente relacionadas con la trama de la película, como los límites del humor o el uso de la inteligencia artificial.Y en la “Turra sindical”, Borja González Santaolalla y Cristóbal Garrido te recuerdan tus derechos como autor en caso de que tu guión sea objeto de un remake, un spin-off o cualquier otra obra derivada.Si tienes alguna duda sobre guión que quieras que resolvamos en directo, puedes escribirnos a podcastalma@sindicatoalma.es Escucha un nuevo episodio de “Esto ya se ha hecho” cada miércoles en Youtube, Spotify, Apple, Amazon Music e Ivoox.¡Tu afiliación es nuestra fuerza!

In this episode of The 10 Ninety Podcast, Mason sits down with Brooke Pando for her second appearance on the show. Brooke is the mother of London "Lundy" Pando, who lives with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type 6A—a degenerative condition that leaves her body unable to support her muscles and bones, making every day uncertain. London, now 13, survived a massive stroke in utero at 34 weeks that liquefied three-quarters of her brain, and doctors never expected her to live past her first few hours. Since Brooke's last appearance, her mother Margo Ann Nielsen Erickson passed away suddenly from metastatic pancreatic cancer just three months after diagnosis. Brooke shares the devastating experience of losing her mother—London's best friend and their family's primary caregiver—and how it has intensified the anxiety of knowing London could die at any moment. Brooke opens up about the dream she had months before her mother's diagnosis that warned her of the loss to come, the whirlwind of becoming her mother's full-time caregiver, and the shock of her mother's sudden death despite being on hospice. She talks about the heartbreaking day she and her father went to the cemetery to pick out burial plots—not just for her mother, but five spots total, knowing London would one day be buried there too. Together with Mason, Brooke discusses the impossible weight of living in constant fear of losing her daughter while simultaneously grieving her mother, the guilt she feels for not being as happy as London despite London's daily suffering, and the strain that anticipatory grief puts on her marriage to Blake and her other two children. She shares London's remarkable spirit—a child who calls people five times a day just to talk, who loves Trolls and The Greatest Showman, and who remains the happiest person despite living in constant physical pain. Brooke and Mason have an unflinchingly honest conversation about the questions that haunt them both: Where do our loved ones go when they die? Why do signs and dragonflies appear when we need them most, then disappear? How do you keep living when you know the worst is still coming? And why does grief feel so all-consuming, so relentless, so impossible to escape? It's a raw conversation about anticipatory grief, the loneliness of waiting for tragedy, and the brutal reality that sometimes the only thing we can do is live—because that's what the people we love most would want us to do.
The trip to Greece continues as the ladies enjoy a cliffside photography session and a positive mood shift from Meredith. After splintering into groups for spa and lunch excursions, ASMR infighting begins at the spa after Britani dares to splash water droplets on freshly coiffed hair. At the lunch, Mary and Whitney bond over expressing genuine concern for Meredith's volatile behaviors of late and Bronwyn brings up an interaction with Seth. At dinner, Lisa targets Britani with accusations that stem from their yacht trip and Heather defends her stance to again stick up for Britani under fire. The episode ends with the women getting kicked out of a restaurant in "Angie's country", and tees up what appears to be an explosive finale.

Inside the World of Described Video: A Voice Actor's Niche You've Never Considered with Cynthia DePando Most voice actors focus on commercial, corporate, or video game work — but what about the niches almost nobody is talking about? Today's episode takes you deep inside one of the most overlooked, underserved, and surprisingly meaningful genres in voice over: described video (also known as audio description). Joining Marc is award-winning voice actor Cynthia De Pando, who has carved out a successful career in this highly specialized niche, narrating projects for Netflix, major films like Wicked, animated features, and more. In this episode, you'll learn: • What described video actually is (and what it is not) • How the craft works — timing, tone, storytelling, rules, and restrictions • Why dubbing studios are often the entry point • Why this genre is growing fast thanks to legal accessibility mandates • What makes it creatively challenging and rewarding • How actors can position themselves for opportunities • Why AI can't simply replace this work • The surprising places described video shows up beyond film & TV Cynthia also shares unexpected insights into: • Describing action scenes vs. quiet atmospheric moments • Why animated films (like Trolls) can be harder than horror movies • How described video is used by sighted people, language learners, and multitaskers • The intense timing required to stay “invisible” while still telling the story This episode is a must-listen for voice actors looking for niches where fewer people compete — and where the work genuinely makes a difference.

In this episode, the creator of AEDP, Dr. Diana Fosha, psychotherapist Karen Pando-Mars, and I dive into the science of healing attachment wounds and exploring how AEDP can help people create healthier patterns. Together we explore: - What exactly is AEDP, directly from the creator of this therapy modality herself - Unpacking how and why attachment "styles" aren't as fixed as we often think, and may not even be the most accurate way of thinking about attachment security...and what actually is! - What the research reveals about repairing attachment ruptures and how to get through them in order to establish a secure attachment relationship. - An exercise in reflective functioning and the types of things you can say to model and build this skill in your child. - A trick for allowing yourself to stay in a feeling of discomfort or shame without immediately going straight to defensiveness. - What people with different attachment styles need to start to move more toward secure attachment. Tune in for a discussion that will shift your perspective on attachment, healing, and the power of connection.

Many coronaviruses exist in nature that we don't know much about. We don't even know how and whether most of them might bind to human cells. Research published in Nature, by scientists at Wuhan and Washington Universities, describes a new way of designing novel receptor sites on cell cultures so that many types of coronavirus may now be cultured and studied to ascertain their risk to humans. Cambridge virologist Ravindra Gupta, who is not one of the authors, gives Science in Action his take on the risks versus the reward.Dotted around the remains of Pompeii, visitors are often struck by the plaster casts of some of the victims' dying moments. During recent restoration of several of these casts, scientists were able to extract DNA samples from bones which had previously been enveloped by plaster since their initial discovery. As Alissa Mittnik of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology describes, some of the findings confound our previous narratives about their lives, relationships, and even their genders.Rozenn Pineau, a plant evolutionary geneticist at the University of Chicago in Illinois, has been investigating the unique evolutionary history of the world's oldest (and biggest) tree - "Pando".And finally, the oldest known tadpole is described from a 160 million year old Argentinian fossil by biologist Mariana Chuliver.Presented by Roland Pease Produced by Alex Mansfield, with Eliane Glaser Production Coordination by Jana Bennett-Holesworth (Image: Illustration of Covid-19 coronavirus binding to human cell.

Here's a 2007 map that's substantively the same, but with higher resolution:View historic Norway Mountain trailmaps on skimap.org.Why I interviewed himWhat a noble act: to resurrect a dead ski area. I'll acknowledge that a ski area is just a business. But it's also a (usually) irreplaceable community asset, an organ without which the body can live but does not function quite right. We read about factories closing up and towns dying along with them. This is because the jobs leave, yes, but there's an identity piece too. As General Motors pulled out of Saginaw and Flint in the 1980s and ‘90s, I watched, from a small town nearby, those places lose a part of their essence, their swagger and character. People were proud to have a GM factory in town, to have a GM job with a good wage, to be a piece of a global something that everyone knew about.Something less profound but similar happens when a ski area shuts down. I've written before about Apple Mountain, the 200-vertical-foot bump in Freeland, Michigan where I spent my second-ever day on skis:[Apple Mountain] has been closed since 2017. Something about the snowmaking system that's either too hard or too expensive to fix. That leaves Michigan's Tri-Cities – Midland, Bay City, and Saginaw, with a total metro population approaching 400,000 – with no functioning ski area. Snow Snake is only about 40 minutes north of Midland, and Mt. Holly is less than an hour south of Saginaw. But Apple Mountain, tucked into the backwoods behind Freeland, sat dead in the middle of the triangle. It was accessible to almost any schoolkid, and, humble as it was, stoked that fire for thousands of what became lifelong skiers.What skiing has lost without Apple Mountain is impossible to calculate. I would argue that it was one of the more important ski areas anywhere. Winters in mid-Michigan are long, cold, snowy, and dull. People need something to do. But skiing is not an obvious solution: this is the flattest place you can imagine. To have skiing – any skiing – in the region was a joy and a novelty. There was no redundancy, no competing ski center. And so the place was impossibly busy at all times, minting skiers who would go off to start ski newsletters and run huge resorts on the other side of the country.When the factory closes, the jobs go, and often nothing replaces them. Losing a ski area is similar. The skiers go, and nothing replaces them. The kids just do other things. They never become skiers.Children of Men, released in 2006, envisions a world 18 years after women have stopped having babies. Humanity lives on, but has collectively lost its soul. Violence and disorder reign. The movie is heralded for its extended single-shot battle scenes, but Children of Men's most remarkable moment is when a baby, born in the midst of a firefight, momentarily paralyzes the war as her protectors parade her to sanctuary:Humanity needs babies like winter needs skiers. But we have to keep making more.Yes, I'm being hyperbolic about the importance of resurrecting a lost ski area. If you're new here, that part of My Brand™. A competing, similar-sized ski center, Pine Mountain, is only 20 minutes from Norway. But that's 13 miles, which for a kid may as well be 1,000. Re-opening Norway is going to seed new skiers. Some of them will ski four times and forget about it and some of them will take spring break trips to Colorado when they get to college and a few of them may wrap their lives around it.And if they don't ever ski? Well, who knows. I almost didn't become a skier. I was 14 when my buddy said “Hey let's take the bus to Mott Mountain after school,” and I said “OK,” and even though I was Very Bad at it, I went again a few weeks later at Apple Mountain. Both of those hills are closed now. If I were growing up in Central Michigan now, would I have become a skier? What would I be if I wasn't one? How awful would that be?What we talked aboutBack from the dead; the West Michigan snowbelt; the power of the ski family; Caberfae; Pando's not for sale; when you decide to buy a lost ski area; how lost Norway was almost lost forever; the small business mindset; surprise bills; what a ski area looks like when it's sat idle for six years; piecing a sold-off snowmaking system back together; Norway's very unique lift fleet; glades; the trailmap; Norway's new logo; the Wild West of websites; the power of social media; where to even begin when you buy a ski area; the ups and downs of living at your ski area; shifting from renovation to operation; Norway's uneven history and why this time is different; is there enough room for Pine Mountain and Norway in such a small market?; why night skiing won't return on a regular basis this winter; send the school buses; it doesn't snow much but at least it stays cold; can Norway revitalize its legendary ski school?; and why Norway joined the Freedom Pass. Why I thought that now was a good time for this interviewHello Mr. Television Network Executive. Thank you for agreeing to hear my pitch. I understand I have 10 minutes with you, which is perfect, because what I'm proposing will take no fewer than five years, while simultaneously taking 10 years off both our lives. Because my show is called Who Wants to Own a Ski Area?The show works like this: contestants will navigate a series of logic puzzles, challenges, and obstacle courses. These will act as elimination rounds. We can base everyone at an abandoned ski resort, like in The Last of Us, where they will live while games materialize at random. Some examples:* It's 3 a.m. Everyone is sleeping. Alarms blare. A large structure has caught fire. The water has been cut off, but somehow you're standing in a knee-deep flood. Your firefighting arsenal consists of a bucket. You call the local volunteer fire department, which promises you they will “be along whenever Ed gits up here with the gay-rage door keys.” Whoever keeps the building from melting into a pile of ashes wins.* It's state inspection day. All machinery must be in working order. We present each contestant with a pile of sprockets, hoses, wires, clips, and metal parts of varying sizes and thickness. Their instructions are to rebuild this machine. We do not tell them what the machine is supposed to be. The good news is that the instruction manual is sitting right there. The bad news is that it's written in Polish. The pile is missing approximately seven to 20 percent of the machine's parts, without which the device may operate, but perhaps not in a way compatible with human life. Whoever's put-together machine leads to the fewest deaths advances to the next round.* The contestants are introduced to Big Jim. Big Jim has worked at the ski area since 1604. He has been through 45 ownership groups, knows everything about the mountain, and everyone on the mountain. Because of this, Big Jim knows you can't fire him lest you stoke a rebellion of labor and/or clientele. And he can tell you which pipes are where without you having to dig up half the mountain. But Big Jim keeps as much from getting done as he actually does. He resists the adoption of “fads” such as snowmaking, credit cards, and the internet. The challenge facing contestants is to get Big Jim to send a text message. He asks why the letters are arranged “all stupid” on the keyboard. The appearance of an emoji causes him to punch the phone several times and heave it into the woods.* Next we introduce the contestants to Fran and Freddy Filmore from Frankenmuth. The Filmores have been season passholders since the Lincoln Administration. They have nine kids in ski school, each of which has special dietary needs. Their phones are loaded with photos of problems: of liftlines, of dirt patches postholing trails, of an unsmiling parking attendant, of abandoned boot bags occupying cafeteria tables, of skis and snowboards and poles scattered across the snow rather than being placed on the racks that are right there for goodness sake. The Filmores want answers. The Filmores also want you to bring back Stray Cat Wednesdays, in which you could trade a stray cat for a lift ticket. But the Filmores are not actually concerned with solutions. No matter the quickness or efficacy of a remedy, they still “have concerns.” Surely you have 90 minutes to discuss this. Then the fire alarm goes off.* Next, the contestents will meet Hella Henry and his boys Donuts, Doznuts, Deeznuts, Jam Box, and 40 Ounce. HH and the Crushnutz Krew, as they call themselves, are among your most loyal customers. Though they are all under the age of 20, it is unclear how any of them could attend school or hold down a job, since they are at your hill for 10 to 12 hours per day. During that time, the crew typically completes three runs. They spend the rest of their time vaping, watching videos on their phones, and sitting six wide just below a blind lip in the terrain park. The first contestant to elicit a response from the Crushnutz Krew that is anything other than “that's chill” wins.The victor will win their very own ski area, complete with a several-thousand person Friends of [Insert Ski Area Name] group where 98 percent of the posts are complaints about the ski area. The ski center will be functional, but one popped bolt away from catastrophe in four dozen locations. The chairlifts will be made by a company that went out of business in 1912. The groomer will be towed by a yak. The baselodge will accommodate four percent of the skiers who show up on a busy day. The snowmaking “system” draws its water from a birdbath. Oh, and it's in the middle of nowhere in the middle of winter, and they're going to have to find people to work there.Oh, you love it Mr. Television Network Executive? That's so amazing. Now I can quit my job and just watch the money pile up. What do I do for a living? Well, I run a ski area.Hoppe won the contest. And I wanted to wish him luck.What I got wrongI lumped Ski Brule in with Pine Mountain as ski areas that are near Norway. While only 20-ish minutes separate Pine and Norway, Brule is in fact more than an hour away.Why you should ski Norway MountainYou can ski every run on Norway Mountain in one visit. There's something satisfying in that. You can drive off at the end of the day and not feel like you missed anything.There are hundreds of ski areas in North America like this. Most of them manage, somehow, to stuff the full spectrum of ski experience into an area equal to one corner of one of Vail's 90 or whatever Legendary Back Bowls. There are easy runs and hard runs. Long runs and short runs. Narrow runs and wide runs. Runs under the lifts and runs twisting through the trees. Some sort of tree-skiing. Some sort of terrain park. A little windlip that isn't supposed to be a cornice but skis like one, 9-year-olds leaping off it one after the next and turning around to watch each other after they land. Sometimes there is powder. Sometimes there is ice. Sometimes the grooming is magnificent. Sometimes the snow really sucks. Over two to four hours and 20 to 30 chairlift rides, you can fully absorb what a ski area is and why it exists.This is an experience that is more difficult to replicate at our battleship resorts, with 200 runs scribbled over successive peaks like a medieval war map. I ski these resorts differently. Where are the blacks? Where are the trees? Where are the bumps? I go right for them and I don't bother with anything else. And that eats up three or four days even at a known-cruiser like Keystone. In a half-dozen trips into Little Cottonwood Canyon, I've skied a top-to-bottom groomer maybe twice. Because skiing groomers at Alta-Snowbird is like ordering pizza at a sushi restaurant. Like why did you even come here?But even after LCC fluff, when I've descended back to the terrestrial realm, I still like skiing the Norway Mountains of the land. Big mountains are wonderful, but they come with big hassle, big crowds, big traffic, big attitudes, big egos. At Norway you can pull practically up to the lifts and be skiing seven minutes later, after booting up and buying your lift ticket. You can ski right onto the lift and the guy in the Carhartt will nod at you and if you're just a little creative and thoughtful every run will feel distinct. And you can roll into the chalet and grab a pastie and bomb the whole mountain again after lunch.And it will all feel different on that second lap. When there are 25 runs instead of 250, you absorb them differently. The rush to see it all evaporates. You can linger with it, mingle with the mountain, talk to it in a way that's harder up top. It's all so awesome in its own way.Podcast NotesOn Pando Ski CenterI grew up about two hours from the now-lost Pando Ski Center, but I never skied there. When I did make it to that side of Michigan, I opted to ski Cannonsburg, the still-functioning multi-lift ski center seven minutes up the road. Of course, in the Storm Wandering Mode that is my default ski orientation nowadays, I would have simply hit both. But that's no longer possible, because Cannonsburg purchased Pando in 2015 and subsequently closed it. Probably forever.Hoppe and I discuss this a bit on the pod. He actually tried to buy the joint. Too many problems with it, he was told. So he bought some of the ski area's snowguns and other equipment. Better that at least something lives on.Pando didn't leave much behind. The only trailmap I can find is part of this Ski write-up from February 1977:Apparently Pando was a onetime snowboarding hotspot. Here's a circa 2013 video of a snowboarder doing snowboarderly stuff:On CannonsburgWhile statistically humble, with just 250 vertical feet, Cannonsburg is the closest skiing to metropolitan Grand Rapids, Michigan, population 1.08 million. That ensures that the parks-oriented bump is busy at all times:On CaberfaeOne of Hoppe's (and my) favorite ski areas is Caberfae. This was my go-to when I lived in Central Michigan, as it delivered both decent vert (485 feet), and an interesting trail network (the map undersells it):The Meyer family has owned and operated Caberfae for decades, and they constantly improve the place. GM Tim Meyer joined me on the pod a few years back to tell the story.On Norway's proximity to Pine MountainNorway sits just 23 minutes down US 2 from Pine Mountain. The two ski areas sport eerily similar profiles: both measure 500 vertical feet and run two double chairs and one triple. Both face the twin challenges of low snowfall (around 60 inches per season), and a relatively thin local population base (Iron Mountain's metro area is home to around 32,500 people). It's no great surprise that Norway struggled in previous iterations. Here's a look at Pine:On Big TupperI mention Big Tupper as a lost ski area that will have an extra hard time coming back since it's been stripped (I think completely), of snowmaking. This ski area isn't necessarily totally dead: the lifts are still standing, and the property is going to auction next month, but it will take tens of millions to get the place running again. It was at one time a fairly substantial operation, as this circa 1997 trailmap shows:On Sneller chairliftsNorway runs two Sneller double chairs. Only one other Sneller is still spinning, at Ski Sawmill, a short and remote Pennsylvania bump. Lift Blog catalogued the machine here. It wasn't spinning when I skied Sawmill a couple of years ago, but I did snag some photos:On Norway's new logoIn general, animals make good logos. Hoppe designed this one himself:On social mediaHoppe has done a nice job of updating Norway's rebuild progress on social media, mostly via the mountain's Facebook page. Here are links to a few other social accounts we discussed:* Skiers and Snowboarders of the Midwest is a big champion of ski areas of all sizes throughout the region. The Midwest Skiers group is pretty good too.* Magic Mountain, Vermont, an underdog for decades, finally dug itself out of the afterthoughts pile at least in part due to the strength of its Instagram and Twitter presence.* The formerly dumpy Holiday Mountain, New York, has meticulously documented its rebuild under new ownership on Instagram and Facebook.On NeighborsMy 17-year-old brain could not comprehend the notion that two ski areas operated across the street from – and independent of – one another. But there they were: Nub's Nob and Boyne Highlands (now The Highlands), each an opposite turn off Pleasantview Road.We turned right, to Nub's, because we were in high school and because we all made like $4.50 an hour and because Nub's probably had like 10-Cent Tuesdays or something.I've since skied both mountains many times, but the novelty has never faded. Having one of something so special as a ski area in your community is marvelous. Having two is like Dang who won the lottery? There are, of course, examples of this all over the country – Sugarbush/Mad River Glen, Stowe/Smugglers' Notch, Alta/Snowbird, Timberline/Meadows/Skibowl – and it's incredible how distinct each one's identity remains even with shared borders and, often, passes.On UP ski areasMichigan's Upper Peninsula is a very particular animal. Only three percent of the state's 10 million residents live north of the Mackinac (pronounced Mackinaw) Bridge. Lower Peninsula skiers are far more likely to visit Colorado or Vermont than their far-north in-state ski areas, which are a 10-plus hour drive from the more populous southern tiers. While Bohemia's ultra-cheap pass and rowdy terrain have somewhat upset that equation, the UP remains, for purposes of skiing and ski culture, essentially a separate state.My point is that it's worth organizing the state's ski areas in the way that they practically exist in skiers minds. So I've separated the UP from the Lower Peninsula. Since Michigan is also home to an outsized number of town ropetows, I've also split surface-lift-only operations into their own categories:On last winter being very bad with record-low skier visitsSkier visits were down in every region of the United States last winter, but they all but collapsed in the Midwest, with a 26.7 percent plunge, according to the annual Kottke Demographic Report. Michigan alone was down nearly a half million skier visits. Check out these numbers:For comparison, overall skier numbers dropped just six percent in the Northeast, and five percent in the Rockies.The Storm publishes year-round.

Hour 1 Jayden Daniels put on a show last night as the Commanders sent the Bengals to an 0-3 start. This is why Brian Daboll wanted Daniels. This is bad news for the Giants if Daniels is going to play this well going forward. And the Jets got to watch Josh Allen put up 47 points for the Bills as they sent the Jaguars to 0-3. Daniels had a 91% completion percentage rate last night. Jerry is here for his first update of the day but first we wonder what yarn festival Eddie is at this week. Jerry has the sounds of Kevin Harlan as the Commanders beat the Bengals, 38-33. Jerry also has the sounds of the Bills beating the Jags, 47-10. We got a positive Sam Darnold update. And it looks like a lot of rain is headed to Atlanta starting tomorrow. In the final segment of the hour, we figured out where Eddie is. There is a ‘knitter's retreat' in Utah. Hour 1 Single Topics Segment 1- Commanders QB Jayden Daniels put the NFL on notice with an impressive performance last night against the Bengals Segment 2- Where is Eddie Scozzare? Hour 2 We finally figured out who rearranged our studio yesterday for a video shoot. Sal Licata taped an interview with Tony Khan of AEW Wrestling. We took calls from Giants fans and their reaction to Jayden Daniels' performance last night for the Commanders. Jerry returns for an update and starts with the Commanders beating the Bengals. Washington hasn't punted in the last 2 games. The Bills had no problem with the Jaguars, winning 47-10. Trevor Lawrence had some bad throws last night. Micah Parsons talked about CJ Gardner-Johnson's comments on the Saints being pretenders because they have Derek Carr. The Phillies clinched the NL East last night. In the final segment of the hour, a caller wonders where Acuna will go if Lindor comes back. Hour 2 Single Topics Segment 1- Giants fans react to Jayden Daniels' performance last night as the Commanders beat the Bengals Segment 3- Where will Acuna play if Lindor returns? Hour 3 Keith Hernandez from SNY called in from Atlanta to talk about the huge series against the Braves. With bad weather looming, Keith said they have to and will get these games in. They are talking about a double header Wednesday instead of playing Thursday. Keith loves Carlos Mendoza as the Mets manager. Jerry returns for an update, but first we have a big Live Show announcement. Jerry starts with the Commanders beating the Bengals thanks to a huge night by QB Jayden Daniels. The Bills had no problem with the Jags, rolling up 47 points. Antonio Pierce was asked if he made any ‘business decisions' on some of his players. Brian Daboll was asked about motivation for Thursday night's game against the Cowboys. Jerry has audio of a few people asking what is up with Travis Kelce including Mike Francesa andTodd McShay. In the final segment of the hour, Eddie is on vacation but did not tell us where he was going. But we tracked him and got a new ‘Where is Eddie Scozzare?' song. Hour 3 Single Topics Segment 1- Keith Hernandez calls from Atlanta to preview the huge Mets/Braves series starting tonight Segment 3- ‘Where is Eddie Scozzare?' Hour 4 The Mets have a huge series starting tonight against the Braves and the weather looks like it won't be cooperating after tonight. We talked about quarterbacks making all of the money and how that hurts your ability to have a quality defense because all the money goes to the QB. This is the situation the Bengals are in with Joe Burrow. Boomer said we have another week before we are out of ‘pre-season' in the NFL. The quarterbacks should start putting up bigger numbers by then. The WFAN knockout pool is already over. We had a winner by week 3. Jerry returns for his final update of the day, but first we got an update from Eddie. He is in Pando, Utah. Jerry starts with Kevin Harlan and the sounds of the Commanders beating the Bengals to drop them to 0-3. Jayden Daniels was 21-of-23. The Bills beat the Jags, dropping 47 points on them. Bill Belichick said everyb ...

The quarterbacks should start putting up bigger numbers by then. The WFAN knockout pool is already over. We had a winner by week 3. Jerry returns for his final update of the day, but first we got an update from Eddie. He is in Pando, Utah. Jerry starts with Kevin Harlan and the sounds of the Commanders beating the Bengals to drop them to 0-3. Jayden Daniels was 21-of-23. The Bills beat the Jags, dropping 47 points on them. Bill Belichick said everybody likes Darnold except the Jets. The Moment of The Day: Problems getting Keith Hernandez on the phone. In the final segment of the hour, we talked about the QB performances in last night's Monday Night double header. Jayden Daniels has gotten better each week and last night he was nearly perfect. Eddie sent us a pic from the Pando National Forest in Utah.
