Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we learn about some difficult new ideas: Gaia consciousness, the Planetary Poltergeist, and the parapolitics of ParaCryptoUFOlogy. Guiding us through these ideas is a man named Stephen Miles Lewis, aka SMiles Lewis. How can we synthesize what we know about UFOs, cryptids, the paranormal, and the covert operations of intelligence agencies into an overarching theory of The Weird? Are our consciousnesses and electromagnetic fields being manipulated by malevolent forces? We discuss all this and much more!

Joe Magarac is a folk hero that allegedly was born from the stories of immigrant steelworkers in the early 20th century. He is the Paul Bunyan of Steel Country. But is the legend of Joe Magarac an American immigrant folk story or is he the product of the imagination of writers and the steel executives?

Abandoned ski areas, rusting, fading. Time capsules. Hoses coiled and stacked. Chairs spaced and numbered along the liftline. Paperwork scattered on desks. Doors unlocked. No explanation. No note. As though the world stopped in apocalypse.America has lost more ski areas than it has kept. Most will stay lost. Many are stripped, almost immediately, of the things that made them commercially viable, of lifts and snowguns and groomers, things purchased at past prices and sold at who-cares discounts and irreplaceable at future rates. But a few ski areas idle as museums, isolated from vandals, forgotten by others, waiting, like ancient crypts, for a great unearthing.Who knew that Steeplechase stood intact? Who knew, really, that the complex existed in the first place, those four motley cobbled-together chairlifts spinning, as they did, for just eight years in the Minnesota wilderness? As though someone pried open a backlot shed on a house they'd purchased years before and found, whole and rebuilt, a Corvette of antique vintage. Pop in a new battery, change the sparkplugs, inflate the tires, and it's roaring once again.Sometimes in the summer I'll wander around one of these lost ski areas, imagining what it was, what it could be again. There's one a bit over an hour north of me, Tuxedo Ridge, its four double chairs stilled, its snowguns pointed skyward, holes in the roof and skis scattered about the lodge. To restore a ski area, I sometimes think, is harder than to build one whole from the earth. Most operators I speak with recoil at the very idea.Which is why, I think, most lost ski area rebuilding or revitalization stories are led by outsiders: Norway Mountain, Holiday Mountain, Tenney, Teton Pass, Paul Bunyan. By the time they realize they're doing an impossible thing, they've done too much to surrender. When Steck acquired the Steeplechase property around 2016, he didn't really know what he'd do with it. He wanted land, and here was some land. Except the land happened to hold a forgotten-but-intact ski area.Bit by bit, he rebuilt the business: restoring the chapel for weddings, then the tubing lanes, then the chairlifts. He didn't ask permission. He didn't make any big proclamation. Suddenly, one winter day in 2023, a ski area that everyone had forgotten was a ski area reappeared in the world. And isn't that interesting?What we talked aboutA much stronger start to the 2024-25 Midwestern winter; big expansion potential and when that could happen; the mental march through the rough 2023-24 winter; considering future non-holiday midweek operations; snowmobile racing; how a house-flipping career led Steck to Steeplechase; a snapshot of the ski area lost in time in 2016; rebuilding a ski hill is “a big logistical nightmare on a regular basis,” especially during Covid; the fuzzy origins of Steeplechase's four chairlifts; Midwest tough; Steeplechase's founding; Freedom Pass; why Steeplechase isn't on Indy Pass even though a spring announcement indicated that the ski area would be; and potentially America's first 2025-26 season pass sale.What I got wrongMy ski-areas-that-double-as-snowmobile-areas breakdown was not quite right. Cockaigne was, as far as I know, the only New York ski area to explicitly turn a portion of its trails over to snowmobiles, and only during the ski area's short-lived resurgence (2020 to 2022-ish). Check out the circa 2020 trailmap - all the green-laced trails have been set aside as a snowmobile fun park:That whole section was once ski trails, and the Hall double that served them is, as far as I know, still standing (lift E below):Cockaigne is not currently an active ski area.I also mentioned Snow Ridge, New York as being a snowmobile-friendly ski area, but what I meant by that was that snowmobilers often use the ski area's parking lot to access trails that happen to connect there. The same dynamic seems to play out at Royal Mountain, which sits a bit farther south in the Adirondacks.Why now was a good time for this interviewThe typical ski area re-opening story is public, incremental, tortuous, and laced with doubt. See: Saddleback, Hatley Pointe, Cuchara, Granite Gorge, Norway. Will they or won't they? Haters and doubters commandeer the narrative. “Never gonna happen.” Then it happens and I'm all like phew. High fives and headlines.But Steeplechase just… reappeared. It was the damnedest thing. Like a Japanese ghost ship bumping onto the Oregon shoreline years after its dislodge-by-tsunami. Oh that thing? We'd forgotten all about it. One day Steck just turned two lifts on and said come ski here and people did.When I spoke to Steck a couple of months after that February 2023 soft opening, he underscored his long-term intention to fully re-open the bump. The following ski season – last winter – was the worst in the recorded history of Midwest skiing. Steck somehow punched his way through the high temps and rain that challenged even the most seasoned operators. He'd restored all the lifts, amped up the snowmaking, cleared the old trails. Steeplechase, a ski area that was barely a ski area to begin with, had, improbably, returned. Permanently, it seemed.The story doesn't make a lot of sense in a 2025 U.S. ski world dominated by national ski passes, consolidation, and the exploding cost of everything. But it happened: a guy who'd never worked in skiing and didn't know much about skiing bought and restored a Midwest ski area with little fuss and fanfare. And now it exists. And there's a lot we can learn from that.Why you should ski SteeplechaseConsider the ski-area-as-artwork. One person's interpretation of wilderness bent in service of ordered recreation, with the caprice of winds and weather intact. Run a lift up one face, hack a trail down another. A twitch and a bend, re-ordered by machines. Trees left over there. Go ahead and ski between them if there's snow. A logic to it, but bewildering too, the manifestation of a human mind carved into an incline.Context is important here. Crazy old Merls were hacking trails all over the country in the decades after World War II, stringing inexpensive lifts from valley to summit with little concern for whether the snow would fall. But it's incredible that Steeplechase opened in 1999, near the end of the Ski Area Extinction Event that began in the mid-70s, with four cobbled-together chairlifts and a surprisingly broad and varied trail network.Imagine someone doing that today? It's hard to. At least in North America. That makes Steeplechase one of the last of its kind, the handmade ski area willed into being by good ole' boys nailing s**t together. That is failed once is unsurprising. That it returned as a second-generation, second-hand relic is a kind of miracle. There aren't a lot of ski areas left like Steeplechase – unfussy, unfrenzied, improvisational works-in-progress that you can pull up to and ski without planning two election cycles in advance. You're unlikely to have the best ski day of your life here, but it's pretty cool that you can ski here at all. And so why not go do it?Podcast notesOn expansion potentialThe Google Earth view of Steeplechase hides the little ski area's big expansion potential, as it's hard to tell where the earth rises and dips. Looking at the topo map side-by-side, however, and you can see the ridgelines rising off what may be an ancient riverbed, leaving plenty of hills to build into:On Midwest toughI grew up in the Midwest and moved away a couple of decades ago. Transplanted onto the East Coast, I can appreciate some inherent Midwestern character traits that are less prevalent outside the region, including an ability to absorb foul weather. One of the best articulations of this that I've read was in this 2006 New York Times piece, on Wyoming industry recruiting workers from Michigan:Wyoming recruiters say there is another element to their admiration for Michigan. Not only are the people there akin to Wyomingites in the ways and wiles of work, but they also have an inner toughness, they say, that can only come from surviving harsh northern winters.The state tried a job campaign in the South last fall after Hurricane Katrina, hoping to draw displaced oil industry workers. But the effort largely flopped when people who were used to working on the balmy Gulf Coast got wind of what life can be like in Wyoming in January.On Steeplechase's season passSteeplechase may have launched America's first 2025-26 ski season pass: for $300, ski the rest of this winter and next.

L'incident du peuplier, parfois appelé « incident de l'arbre de la zone démilitarisée », est un événement tendu qui a failli déclencher une guerre entre les États-Unis et la Corée du Nord en août 1976. Cette histoire incroyable commence par un simple arbre, un peuplier, qui poussait dans la zone démilitarisée (DMZ) séparant la Corée du Nord et la Corée du Sud, l'une des frontières les plus militarisées et les plus sensibles au monde. Le 18 août 1976, des soldats américains et sud-coréens, accompagnés de travailleurs civils, se sont rendus dans la DMZ pour élaguer le peuplier, qui bloquait la vue d'un poste d'observation crucial pour surveiller les mouvements de l'armée nord-coréenne. Cependant, les Nord-Coréens, voyant ces travaux, ont réagi de manière inattendue et violente. Un groupe de soldats nord-coréens est arrivé sur les lieux et, après une altercation verbale, a brutalement attaqué le contingent américain et sud-coréen avec des haches et des barres de fer. Deux officiers américains, le capitaine Arthur Bonifas et le lieutenant Mark Barrett, ont été tués dans l'assaut. Cet incident a déclenché une crise internationale majeure. Les États-Unis, sous la présidence de Gerald Ford, ont envisagé des réponses militaires, craignant que cet acte ne soit le signe d'une escalade planifiée par la Corée du Nord. Des tensions extrêmes se sont installées, et le monde entier a suivi avec inquiétude ce qui semblait être un prélude potentiel à une nouvelle guerre en Asie. Pour montrer leur force sans déclencher de conflit direct, les États-Unis ont alors planifié l'« opération Paul Bunyan », une démonstration de puissance militaire d'une ampleur impressionnante. Trois jours après l'incident, une force massive, comprenant des soldats armés, des hélicoptères, des bombardiers et des avions de chasse, a été déployée pour sécuriser la zone et terminer l'abattage de l'arbre. La Corée du Nord, voyant ce déploiement massif, n'a pas réagi militairement, et l'incident a été désamorcé. L'incident du peuplier reste un exemple frappant de la fragilité des relations internationales, où une simple opération d'élagage a failli déclencher un conflit mondial. Il met en lumière comment une situation apparemment triviale peut dégénérer rapidement en une crise majeure lorsque des tensions géopolitiques sous-jacentes sont présentes. Depuis, cet événement est souvent cité comme un cas d'école sur l'importance de la communication et de la prudence dans les zones de conflit. Hébergé par Acast.

Kick off November with tales of the mysterious Flannel Man—a plaid-wearing phantom spotted across the U.S. and beyond. Inspired by firsthand accounts from the Strange Familiars podcast, this episode unravels eerie sightings of a lumberjack-like figure. Most often described as a bearded man wearing a plaid flannel shirt (often red and black), blue jeans, and boots. He ranges from friendly-looking to downright eerie, with reports of glowing red eyes and sometimes sporting an axe. His appearance can leave witnesses uneasy, and though he may look like a regular person, he emanates a distinctly paranormal vibe.Is Flannel Man a guardian, an omen, or just a ghostly visitor?

Od samego początku istnienia Koreańskiej Strefy Zdemilitaryzowanej dochodziło na jej terenie do wielu incydentów. Jednym z najpoważniejszych był "Incydent z siekierą" z 1976 r. Jak spór o drzewo mógł doprowadzić świat na skraj wojny nuklearnej? Na to pytanie odpowiadamy w najnowszym odcinku Misji specjalnej RMF FM.

After a quick technical difficulty week, the boys are back and the B1G never left! Michigan keeps Paul Bunyan in Ann Arbor, both Penn State and OSU struggle, and Oregon keeps on rolling. The fellas break down the best games of this past weekend, and prepare you for the most impactful game of the B1G season in the Buckeyes vs. Nittany Lions. The biggest question? Which big time coach finally gets the monkey off their back this weekend? We got the picks and much more for this weekend! (Also, someone put some RESPEK on the Hoosiers name!)

Jim Rutledge and Alex Gravatt roll into Hour 2 of Jim & G. They shift from talking Big Ten football rivalry trophies directly into the Badgers' upcoming slate of rivalry games beginning this Saturday versus Iowa. With the Heartland Trophy on the line, they discuss the importance of if the Badgers can sweep their final three rivalry games compared to if they can get that sought-after marquee win against No. 1 Oregon on Nov. 16. Which is more important, and what is the history behind the trophy that Wisconsin and Minnesota played for before Paul Bunyan's Axe? Primetime hops on the phone to talk to some Forward Madison fans, so Jim and G delve deeper into how important the next two games versus Iowa and Oregon are for Braedyn Locke along with Jim's Halloween plans. Mark Tauscher joins Jim Rutledge and Alex Gravatt to talk Badgers vs Hawkeyes and Packers vs Lions. They start with some civil conversation about the Badgers upcoming trophy game versus Iowa and the importance of the team's 3 rivalry games compared to the big home game against No. 1 Oregon. Jim explores his annoyance with the fans who interfered with Mookie Betts during last night's Yankees-Dodgers World Series game, and Tausch gets annoyed with G's "I'm here for whatever" attitude. Jim gets Tausch a little more heated with some talk about how this Packers-Lions game could affect the team's mindset if Jordan Love plays versus if Malik Willis plays, and he reminds Tausch that the Lions are a young team too. Is this game more important for the Packers or the Lions, could Green Bay win with Malik at QB, and is there any way Love should play if he's less than 80% with his groin injury? Jim and G wrap up with Throwing Stones, including takes on more fan stupidity and rookie QBs.

The Land of 10,000 Lakes, Paul Bunyan, and Tater Tot hotdish is also home to 11 federally recognized tribes. A citizen of one of those tribes, Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan (White Earth Ojibwe/D-MN) is already the highest ranking female Native elected executive in the country. Now that Vice President Kamala Harris has chosen Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) as her running mate, Lt. Gov. Flanagan is one presidential election victory away from becoming the first Native female governor. We'll hear from current and former political leaders from Minnesota and the Upper Midwest about any contributions or detriments the state's Native elected leaders bring to the national stage. GUESTS Judith Le Blanc (Caddo), executive director of the Native Organizers Alliance OJ Semans Sr. (Rosebud Sioux Tribe), co-executive director of Four Directions Native Vote Winona LaDuke (White Earth Ojibwe), activist, writer and 1996 and 2000 Green Party vice presidential candidate Robert Lilligren (White Earth Ojibwe), Minneapolis Metropolitan Council member for District 6 and president and CEO of Native American Community Development Institute

Welcome back to the Finding the Throughline interview with Mark Cecil, author of BUNYAN AND HENRY, OR, THE BEAUTIFUL DESTINY, a re-telling of the folk tales of Paul Bunyan and John Henry that Publisher's Weekly called “a fun romp with substance.” Mark is also the host of the Thoughtful Bro podcast where he interviews authors in what he calls “Like Inside the Actor's Studio, but for storytellers.” In this episode, we find out what Mark is currently working on bringing into existence and what he knows at this moment about where his personal throughline is leading him next. Plus I always end with ask my guests my fast, final five questions about what they're currently reading and the songs that get them fired up. We talked about: - Why he's crazy for Charlie Chaplin movies - How to tell if an author loves people or not - Looking to George Lucas as a model of modern mythmaking - Being honest about how much time you have for all the various parts of life–like exercise and friendship–and dealing with that reality - The 12-year-old who made one of Mark's lifelong dreams come true - The challenge of writing a book that appeals to a wide range of people - The “very dark, very twisted” Netflix series he just binged, the song that always makes him smile (it's now on the “Proven Pick-me-ups from Finding the Throughline playlist on Spotify–look for it!), why September is the best month, and the brunch dish that Mark uses as a bellwether for whether or not a restaurant is good.

I was a pretty little guy, and my dad thought I should meet Paul Bunyan. You know, the legendary giant lumberjack. We were vacationing in Minnesota and there was this tourist attraction there, in Brainerd. Inside was this huge animated figure of Paul Bunyan. I mean, he's massive! He's sitting down with his giant ax and his giant ox next to him and a little log cabin at his feet. My dad paid for our tickets and I walked in unsuspectingly, and suddenly Paul's voice boomed out across the park, "Hellooo, Ronnie!" Man, you talk about unsettling! This guy knew my name. It took me a lot more birthdays to figure out that the man at the ticket booth had gotten my name from my Dad and then relayed it to the Paul guy in the cabin. Yeah, he was hiding in the little log cabin to frighten little Ronnies. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "Discovering Your Worth." Our word for today from the Word of God, Luke 19, beginning in verse 1: "Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through. A man was there by the name of Zaccheus. He was a chief tax collector and was wealthy. He wanted to see who Jesus was, but being a short man he could not because of the crowd. So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore tree to see Him once Jesus was coming that way. When Jesus reached the spot, He looked up and said to him, 'Zaccheus, come down immediately! I must stay at your house today.'" So he came down at once and welcomed Him gladly. This turned out to be the most life-changing day Zaccheus ever had. He not only invited Jesus into his house, but ultimately into his life that day! A man who had felt small his whole life, and as a greedy tax collector treated other people as if they were small, suddenly became a really "big" man. In verse 8, he says, "Look, Lord, here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I've cheated anybody out of anything I will pay back four times the amount." That's a changed life! But it all began when Jesus called Zaccheus by name. They'd never met (like a certain lumberjack and me), but although Zaccheus didn't know Jesus, Jesus knew Zaccheus. And He knows you! Jesus has been lovingly pursuing a relationship with you for a long time. 1 John 4:19 in the Bible says, "We love Him because He first loved us." He knows a lot more than your name. He knows your pain, your dreams, your past, all the details of your life. He knows your failures and your sins. He has seen them. He has felt them all. You say, "Well, He wouldn't be interested in a relationship with me then." Don't you underestimate His love! Romans 5:8 says "God demonstrated His love for us in this way: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Because of His deep, deep love for you, God's Son gave His life as the payment for the death penalty that you and I deserve, and for quite awhile now He's been trying to get your attention. Today, even as you're listening to my voice, you may be hearing His voice in your heart, and He's calling you by name. He's inviting you to respond to His love, to put all your trust in Him, to have your sins erased from God's Book forever and to receive eternal life in heaven. Look, it's been one-way love long enough? In your heart, the tug you feel, that might be Jesus calling you by name, as He did "Zaccheus." He's saying, "I want you to belong to Me!" The Savior's coming one on one to you, in your heart today. The day when He calls your name can be your "God" day; the one when you open your life to the greatest love a man or woman can ever experience. Would you tell Him today, "Jesus, I'm Yours." And please go to our website and let me help you be sure you've begun that relationship. It's ANewStory.com. The bible says this, "Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your heart." If Jesus is calling, answer Him. You can't afford to miss His call!
