We might one day soon have the option to live forever, but… is that even a good thing? And what would it really look like in practice? Let's take a look at some examples from on screen, like Upload, Pantheon, The X-Files & more, and in real life to get a deeper understanding of the issue. Humans have always had fantastical ideas about what might happen to us after we shuffle off of this mortal coil. In our modern era, technology seems to be on its way to giving us the option to bring these wild ideas into reality: from preservation to maybe never truly dying at all. This is, on the one hand, exciting to a lot of people. But on the other hand, it also opens up a whole lot of questions around technological capabilities and ethics...

Pantheon Resources CEO Max Easley and Chief Development Officer Erich Krumanocker joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce a major milestone at the company's Dubhe-1 appraisal well in Alaska, where the lateral has been successfully drilled and landed in the SMD-B horizon—the primary target identified in the earlier Dubhe-1 pilot hole. The second phase of the Dubhe-1 programme involved plugging back the pilot hole and drilling a lateral sidetrack into the SMD-B zone, entering the target horizon roughly 550 feet northeast of the pilot hole. The well ultimately achieved a measured depth of 15,800 feet, with approximately 5,200 feet within the SMD-B reservoir, far exceeding the company's pre-drill expectations. The production test lateral was initially planned for 3,000–4,000 feet, but optimized drilling based on pilot results enabled Pantheon to capture significant upside. In addition to confirming the SMD-B reservoir, the sidetrack also encountered several shallow hydrocarbon-bearing zones. All intervals were logged with a full suite of Logging While Drilling (LWD) tools, and Volatiles Analysis Service (VAS) was conducted on both sealed and unsealed cuttings samples to provide detailed reservoir data. Importantly, the results from Dubhe-1 have substantially increased Pantheon's resource base. The company's best estimate of marketable liquids in the Ahpun area now stands at 589 million barrels, representing a 228 million barrel increase—approximately 63% growth—over previously certified estimates. Pantheon is now analyzing data from both the pilot and the lateral to design an optimized hydraulic stimulation programme and flowback operation. The company intends to apply modern completion techniques drawn from the Permian Basin, where such methods have driven efficiency and strong recoveries. Pantheon has already executed contracts and Master Service Agreements with key service providers, including several new suppliers bringing expertise from mature unconventional basins to Alaska's North Slope. Management expects this approach will deliver higher efficiency at lower cost as the company advances toward production. #proactiveinvestors #pantheonresourcesplc #mining #lse #panr #pthrf #Dubhe1 #AlaskaOil #OilAndGasDevelopment #EnergyStocks #NaturalGas #AlaskaEnergy #OilExploration #OilProduction #PantheonDrilling #InvestingInOil

Episode 303. What did we learn this week? Kyle is too out of shape to walk 2 miles to the movie theater to see Honey Don't!, Dark Melissa comes out at fundraiser trivia nights, and there are hundreds of obscure and defunct M&Ms characters. We also discuss the animated series Pantheon, Buster Keaton gags still hitting, the possibility of Nicolas Cage as a True Detective, if you need to apologize if you call something "nightmare fuel" but then it never actually gives you a nightmare, and still feeling pain over the lack of a third season to finish off Mindhunter.Click here to watch a video of this episode.

A spontaneous chat at Podcast Movement 2025 turned into 15 minutes of pure gold when Peter Ferioli explained how podcasts can now be interactive, with Pantheon joining forces with Spooler Media to lead the way. And to be wow'd at a conference that regularly features the best and the brightest in podcasting, this really stood out. Peter explains Pantheon's effort at launching music-oriented podcasts, netting maybe 10 listeners on day. He and his other partners were not inclined to quit their day jobs. But then when Spotify entered podcasting, suddenly everyone searching for artists was discovering their content alongside the music. Pantheon Podcasts And Pantheon went on to becoming one of the world's biggest music podcast networks with 150 shows featuring top-tier bands like Metallica.  The real turning point -- and where things get exciting?  Peter's now pioneering interactive podcasting with Spooler, a platform created by former Apple Podcasts and Megaphone executives. This isn't just another tech upgrade; it's completely reimagining what audio content can be...and do. But thanks to a combo of  new tech enablements from large language models anticipating conclusions to voice recognition and more, the team has raised the bar on what's possible. Try out the beta version of what the team has dubbed a "Podcast Puzzle" and try a brain game!    Walks and Talks They're enabling everything from choose-your-own-adventure stories that adapt to your location in real-time, to walks through decades of San Francisco with The Grateful Dead, and even talks with Benjamin Franklin using his complete writings. As I proudly punned to Peter, it's "electrifying!" Peter's Take: Compared to how Video has evolved, Audio has stayed the same... Til now. "You have audiobooks, podcasts, music and radio. They're all passive forms of audio... So in this world that we're trying to build out these interactive podcasts... You can ask a voice assistant for the weather. With an interactive podcast can create a story about the weather, even bring in real location data and create a personal narrative around it for you."

Show NotesAndrew leads us through the development in the Hebrew scriptures regarding how other Gods/gods alongside Yahweh were understood.  Initially Yahweh was seen as Israel's God within a Henotheist context, where Henotheism is the belief in or worship of one god while acknowledging the existence of other gods. A key idea was a Heavenly Council as seen in the opening of Job. Over time Yahweh became seen as more and more powerful than the other gods and eventually monotheism became dominant by the time of the New Testament. There is of course debate on this in the scholarship, which we discuss. Bible Study:Psalm 82:1Exodus 12:122 Chron 18:18-22Job 1:6 & 2:1Deuteronomy 32:8, 39 and 43Isaiah 47:8-9   Bible Scholars to look up: Mark Smith, Michael Heiser (the evangelical one), Dan McClellan, Thom Stark and Francesca Stavrakopoulou Doubts Aloud Links:Please give feedback and ask questions using:  doubtsaloud@gmail.com

An Inside Job by Daniel Silva Gabriel Allon has been awarded a commission to restore one of the most important paintings in Venice. But when he discovers the body of a mysterious woman floating in the waters of the Venetian Lagoon, he finds himself in a desperate race to recover a lost masterpiece by Leonardo da Vinci. The painting, a portrait of a beautiful young girl, has been gathering dust in a storeroom at the Vatican Museums for more than a century, misattributed and hidden beneath a worthless picture by an unknown artist. Because no one knows that the Leonardo is there, no one notices when it disappears one night during a suspicious power outage. No one but the ruthless mobsters and moneymen behind the theft—and the mysterious woman whom Gabriel found in a watery grave in Venice. A woman without a name. A woman without a face. What I Ate In One Year by Stanley Tucci ‘Sharing food is one of the purest human acts' Food has always been an integral part of Stanley Tucci's life: from stracciatella soup served in the shadow of the Pantheon, to marinara sauce cooked between rehearsals and costume fittings, to home-made pizza eaten with his children before bedtime. In What I Ate in One Year Tucci records twelve months of eating, in restaurants, kitchens, film sets, press junkets, at home and abroad, with friends, with family, with strangers, and occasionally just by himself. Ranging from the mouth-wateringly memorable, to the comfortingly domestic, to the infuriatingly inedible, the meals memorialized in this diary are a prism through which he reflects on the ways his life, and his family, are constantly evolving. Through food he marks – and mourns – the passing of time, the loss of loved ones, and prepares himself for what is to come. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Plimsouls, led by guitarist/singer/songwriter Peter Case, released a couple of terrific albums in the early ‘80's, fusing power pop, punk and R&B into their own unique blend. “A Million Miles Away” was featured in the film Valley Girl, and should've catapulted The Plimsouls onto greater fame, but their career stalled and the band split up by the mid-'80's. To some, this song marks The Plimsouls as One-Hit-Wonders, but their albums are chock-a-block with great songs. Still, there's no denying the brilliance of “A Million Miles Away” and on this episode, we take a close look at this timeless classic.

“Avatar is not anime, but it has an anime aesthetic.” SummaryIn this conversation, Ed has special guest from Powerhouse Animation Studios director Danny Araya. Danny has worked on animation such as Castlevania, The Legend of Aang: The Last Air Bender and Pantheon plus many more. They delve into the intricacies of animation production, discussing the significant role of budget in determining the quality of animated series. They explore the cultural debate surrounding the definition of anime, particularly in relation to Western productions like Avatar the Last Airbender.  Danny shares his experiences working on the untitled Avatar movie and the innovative storytelling in Pantheon, highlighting a shift in Western animation towards more adult themes. The discussion also touches on the evolution of art styles in Western animation, the impact of 90s anime on contemporary creators, and current trends in the anime landscape. They conclude by reflecting on the emotional connections that great anime can evoke, emphasizing the importance of storytelling and artistic expression in the medium.  Discussion PointsThe Role of Budget in Animation ProductionThe Value of Unlimited Budgets in AnimationThe Debate: Is Avatar an Anime?Behind the Scenes of The Legend of Aang: The Last AirbenderExploring Pantheon: A New Era in AnimationThe Evolution of Anime and Personal FavouritesInfluences of Anime on Directorial StyleNostalgic Anime and Current FavouritesEmotional Connections to Modern AnimeArt Styles and Animation TechniquesThe Challenge of Finding Enjoyable ContentIf you enjoy the podcast, please don't forget to FOLLOW, RATE and REVIEW the show (it takes less than 30 seconds) Please do also share with anyone you fill will enjoy the show. Also, to keep conversation going were super keen to hear your thoughts, questions and opinions on the show's discussion points, so please do drop us a voice note on our website www.suuuperanimepodcast.com or email at www.suuuperanimepodcast.com/contact  Social media links Instagram: SuuuperanimepodcastTikTok: SuuuperanimepodcastTwitter: @SuuuperanimeFacebook: SuuuperAnimePodcast You Tube: SuuuperAnimeDiscord: https://discord.gg/suuuperlightsassembleSupport the show

What if the answer to today's concrete durability and sustainability challenges isn't new—but something we left behind decades ago? In Episode #129 of the Concrete Logic Podcast, host Seth Tandett talks with Joseph E. Thomas, Executive Director of the Natural Pozzolan Association, about a material used in the Hoover Dam and Roman aqueducts: natural pozzolans. Joseph explains how these natural pozzolans are making a quiet comeback and why they may deserve another look. What You'll Learn: - What exactly are natural pozzolans, and how do they compare to fly ash? - Can natural pozzolans genuinely enhance concrete durability? - Why have iconic structures like the Pantheon and Hoover Dam relied on natural pozzolans? - What are the realistic limitations, such as water demand and regional availability? - How natural pozzolans stack up against traditional cement and fly ash. - Emerging trends and the growing role of activated pozzolans in construction.

This week, I was given the opportunity to join 'The Occult Rejects' yet again for a roundtable discussion as we explore the darkest layers of modern society -- which largely remain in the shadows -- deliberately obscuring the vision of the general public. Our undisclosed enemies, shrouded in darkness, intentionally unraveling the very moral fabric disrupting the international community at large.As we remain headstrong in the pursuit of truth, we stumble across the path of our common enemy possessed with the darkest ambitions unbeknownst to the vast majority, involving complicated coverups, sexual blackmail, childhood trauma, methods of mind-control, and even ritualized murder or blood sacrifice requiring the use of ancient runes by various groups who tend to believe in the magickal elements of neopaganism. We must first understand the reconstructed ideology of our enemy if we are to defend against them.Please consider supporting our work-Links For The Occult Rejects and The Spiritual Gangstershttps://linktr.ee/theoccultrejectsOccult Research Institutehttps://www.occultresearchinstitute.org/Cash Apphttps://cash.app/$theoccultrejects Venmo@TheOccultRejects Buy Me A Coffeebuymeacoffee.com/TheOccultRejectsPatreon/ theoccultrejects Austin's Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/TheUnderclassPodcast Austin's Spreaker: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-underclass-podcast--6511540Austin's Rumble: https://rumble.com/user/TheUnderclassPodcastAustin's YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@UC537aCO9IfH0Hk93KjCvV6Q#truedetective #delphimurders #neopaganism #odinism #ancientrunes #bloodritualsacrifice #richardallen #norsemythology #pantheon #odinBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-underclass-podcast--6511540/support.

Episode: 2810 The Concrete Revolution in Ancient Rome.  Today, some concrete achievements.

Ian Johnson's new book, The Souls of China: The Return of Religion After Mao (Pantheon, 2017),  was called "a masterpiece of observation and empathy" by The New York Review of Books, and The Economist, who included the book on its Best of 2017 list, said the book, "Shows how a resurgence of faith is quietly changing the country." The Guardian said the book is "full of moving encounters with Chinese citizens ... Johnson succeeds in having produced a nuanced group portrait of Chinese citizens striving for non-material answers in an era of frenetic materialism." I just finished the book myself and was stunning in its portrayals. If you hope to understand the trajectory of modern China, arguably the fastest-rising international superpower, understanding the religious Taoist, Christianity, folk religion, and Islam of China will be helpful, if not essential. A Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist, Ian Johnson is a regular contributor to The New York Review of Books and The New York Times; his work has also appeared in The New Yorker and National Geographic. He is an advising editor for the Journal of Asian Studies and teaches courses on religion in Beijing. He is the author of The Souls of China, Wild Grass, A Mosque in Munich, and The Rise of the Muslim Brotherhood in the West.

Ian Johnson's new book, The Souls of China: The Return of Religion After Mao (Pantheon, 2017),  was called "a masterpiece of observation and empathy" by The New York Review of Books, and The Economist, who included the book on its Best of 2017 list, said the book, "Shows how a resurgence of faith is quietly changing the country." The Guardian said the book is "full of moving encounters with Chinese citizens ... Johnson succeeds in having produced a nuanced group portrait of Chinese citizens striving for non-material answers in an era of frenetic materialism." I just finished the book myself and was stunning in its portrayals. If you hope to understand the trajectory of modern China, arguably the fastest-rising international superpower, understanding the religious Taoist, Christianity, folk religion, and Islam of China will be helpful, if not essential.

#842: Pantheon Companion - Godzilla Minus One by C.W.A

Guitarist and clean vocalist, Andrew Wells, of post-hardcore band, Dance Gavin Dance, joins us on this episode of The Adamantium Podcast. We discuss their upcoming 11th studio album, Pantheon, his elevated role on this album, and the stories behind lead singles “All The Way Down” and “Midnight at McGuffy's.” We also talk about getting legendary funk singer, George Clinton, as a feature on the album, their Muppet like fictional character, The Gobbler, the evolution of their illustrated album art, his eccentric stage outfits, the band's Revenge hot sauce, and his experience at a very exclusive Dave Chappelle show in Los Angeles.

Ever wondered what happens when your cleric starts a cult, your paladin questions their god, and your podcast host thinks he is one? Tune in and find out. In this episode, the RPGBOT.Podcast crew dives deep into the divine—and the deranged—as they tackle the topic of religion in tabletop RPGs. From the celestial bureaucracy of the Forgotten Realms to Pathfinder's heavily codified pantheon, the hosts examine how religion shapes settings, drives character motivation, and complicates moral choices. The discussion explores the roles of deities, demigods, and divine casters, while also indulging in some theological tomfoolery—particularly Randall's growing obsession with founding his own religion (again). The team debates the practicality of divine mandates, the game balance implications of cleric subclasses, and the power fantasy baked into faith-based character classes. The conversation also touches on real-world mythology, the narrative utility of gods behaving badly, and the delicate balance between satire, reverence, and good storytelling. They offer advice for players looking to roleplay pious characters, and for GMs aiming to weave religion into their campaigns without derailing the plot—or sparking a holy war at the table.

A look at how deities and religious systems function mechanically, thematically, and narratively in TTRPGs. Clerics, paladins, and divine magic users Breaking down how divine spellcasting differs from arcane, and why worship matters when you're trying to resurrect someone. Pantheon building for GMs Advice on how to craft believable deities, religious orders, and mythologies without creating a 500-page cosmology document. Pathfinder vs. D&D: Theological Smackdown Comparing how each system handles religion, from domain mechanics to deity portfolios. Randall's "cult" update A recurring segment where Randall outlines the tenets of his latest personal religion, now featuring more bureaucracy and glowing robes. Real-world inspiration Drawing from world mythologies—Greek, Norse, Egyptian, and more—to inform homebrew pantheons and religious conflict. How to roleplay faith without being a jerk The dos and don'ts of playing religious characters respectfully and effectively, whether they're humble missionaries or fire-and-brimstone zealots. Religion as a plot device Using divine conflict, prophecy, and religious institutions to drive compelling story arcs and moral dilemmas. Key Takeaways Religion in RPGs should serve the story, not dominate it unless you're running a full-on holy crusade campaign (in which case, go nuts). Clerics and paladins aren't just healbots and smite machines—their connection to a divine force can be a powerful roleplay and plot development tool. Pathfinder 2E provides more mechanical granularity for divine casters, including strict deity rules, domains, and edicts, while D&D 5E often leaves more interpretive space. Don't be afraid to create your own gods—as long as the players buy in, custom pantheons can be more meaningful than official lore. Faith can be funny, dramatic, or both—as Randall proves, religion doesn't always have to be serious to be significant. Avoid real-world controversy by keeping fantasy religion grounded in the game world, and respecting your table's comfort levels. NPC clergy can serve as guides, foils, or villains—well-developed religious characters can offer a moral compass or a righteous threat. Religious conflict can enhance drama—whether it's interfaith strife, fallen paladins, or rogue prophets with too much divine backing. Closing Thoughts Divine intervention is just another storytelling tool—sometimes it's literal lightning bolts, and sometimes it's a quiet moment of purpose for your character. Use it well, and you'll find that gods can add more than just healing spells to your game.

In this episode – recorded prior to Trump's announcement of a ceasefire between Iran and Israel – Calvin and Alex unpack the alarming reality of US strikes on Iran, recently announced by President Trump on June 21, and the ensuing escalation of tensions between the US, Israel, and Iran. We situate these recent events within decades of neoconservative influence and prior escalations, including the 2020 assassination of Qasem Soleimani by US Forces (which we covered back in Episode 31), as well as Israel's “pre-emptive” strikes against Iran in 2024 and earlier in June 2025.We historicize the current conflict by highlighting the success of the 2015 Iran Nuclear Deal (JCPOA) in preventing escalation, contrasting it with Trump's abandonment and the Democrats' failure to defend it, and debunk media narratives about Iran's nuclear ambitions, confirming Iran's compliance with the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). We then dissect the propagandistic pro-war rhetoric that has been employed most recently, such as Trump's bizarre Truth Social posts announcing the "very successful attack," and exposing the dangerous slippages between US and Israeli foreign policy, evidenced by Senator Ted Cruz's admissions on a recent episode of Tucker Carlson's show.Finally, drawing on rhetorical scholars such as Jeffrey Tulis and Gordon Mitchell, we explore the libidinal urges driving contemporary presidential rhetoric and US war policy, and how intelligence is manipulated through "Team B intelligence coups," raising concerns about reliance on foreign intelligence like the Mossad. We conclude with a resolute call (echoing our earlier episode) for "No war with Iran," urging public dissent against these increasingly reckless and dangerous decisions.Works and concepts cited in this episode:Curtis, A.

The animated TV series Pantheon (streaming on Netflix) asks what if you could upload your mind to the Internet? Would still be human? Would we create a virtual paradise where everyone got to live forever? Or would we find new and more sophisticated ways to destroy each other? I talk with Pantheon showrunner Craig Silverstein and Ken Liu, the author of The Hidden Girl and Other Stories, which the TV show is based on. We discuss how they adapted a series of loosely interconnected stories into a tightly plotted two-season arc, and all the ways in which society would change if uploading our minds becomes a viable technology.
