What if the easiest way to overcome opposition to new housing was simply to pay people to accept it? A recent article in The Atlantic argues that after state laws, packed public meetings, and economic appeals have failed to overcome local resistance, cash payments might succeed where persuasion has not. Chuck Marohn is joined by John Reuter, executive director of Strong Towns, and Dr. Chloe Groome, treasurer of Strong Towns Chicago, to test that idea against what they've seen in real neighborhoods. Their discussion turns to what happens when new neighbors are framed as a burden, and whether cash can do the work that persuasion, trust, and local relationships have failed to do.

Issue 75 of Double Reel continues with Classics and Hidden Gems, where we catch up with a great film one of us hasn't seen and tell you about a lesser known film you should give a chance to. The theme is films from 1996 that are having their 30th anniversary, and our Classic is Branagh's lavish and comprehensive screen version of Shakespeare's Hamlet. Then our Hidden Gem is a film not may people saw or liked, but we'd like you to check out the 30s-set superhero film The Phantom. The first part of the Issue is out already, Double Reel Monthly, and next week we'll bring you the Remakes Tribunal.  Check out Deborah's author page here: Deborah Fox Author And Alan's author page here: Alan Bayles Author And our YouTube show reviewing films on physical media: Maximum Disc

What happens when one generation holds much of the country's housing wealth and has little reason to give it up? Chuck Marohn talks with Strong Towns board chair Andrew Burleson and historic property renovator Richard Rumrill about boomers buying bigger homes, even as younger families wait for those houses to come back onto the market. The generational frustration is easy to understand, but the expected handoff assumes older homeowners will be ready to leave. What happens when the people expected to move have nowhere they want to go, and everyone behind them is still waiting? ADDITIONAL SHOW NOTES "Boomers Were Supposed to Downsize.

Every week, we cover the three biggest stories in manufacturing, and the implications they have on the industry moving forward. This week:New Balance May Donate Shuttered Factory to the Town it VacatedAbout two years ago, New Balance announced plans to close its plant in Norridgewock, Maine. The move surprised pretty much everyone because the shoemaker is known for its U.S.-based manufacturing footprint.Ammo Factory Fails to Produce Any Shells After $469M Army InvestmentAfter sending many, many shells to Ukraine, the Army tasked General Dynamics and its existing ammunition plant in Mesquite, Texas, with manufacturing 30,000 M795 High Explosive 155 mm shells each month by October 2025. But a new report said the plant hasn't produced a single shell in two years of operation.Northwestern Engineers Made a ‘Phantom' Drone That Vanishes in Plain SightEngineers at Northwestern University have created a drone that appears to vanish in plain sight after it takes flight. The Phantom Twist is a drone that uses a concept called "motion blur" — the effect that makes it seemingly impossible to see fast-spinning blades on fans or Road Runner's legs.In Case You Missed ItPairs of Glasses Are Boosting Productivity in Some Garment FactoriesOperators who received reading glasses also made fewer errors.3D-Printed, Patient-Specific Contact Lenses in Just 20 MinutesIt uses a newly developed silicone material.TRISO-X Plots Massive Advanced Nuclear Fuel Expansion in TennesseeLast week, TRISO-X announced tentative plans to create some 1,140 new jobs in Oak Ridge, Tennessee.Please make sure to like, subscribe and share the podcast.

The Phantom is vindicated at long last with a call he made two months ago as the race for $50k starts to heat up!

I'm Steve Stockton, and in this volume of Strange Mysteries , we're leaving the familiar trails behind and venturing into the unforgiving, isolated landscapes of the Dakotas.

In which the Kid 1 joins me in reviewing PHANTOM OF THE OPERA (2004), director Joel Schumacher's 2004 cinematic adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber's iconic musical, with screenplay credits to Andrew Lloyd Webber and Joel Schumacher, and based off Gaston Leroux's novel "Le Fantôme de L'Opéra". A disfigured, musical genius known only as the Phantom (Gerard Butler) haunts the catacombs of the Paris Opera House while secretly tutoring a rising young chorus girl named Christine Daaé (Emmy Rossum). As the Phantom's obsession with Christine deepens, he resorts to increasingly sinister acts of sabotage and terror to ensure she takes center stage, driving a wedge between her and her childhood sweetheart, Raoul (Patrick Wilson). Caught between her deep gratitude and pity for her mysterious mentor and her genuine love for Raoul, Christine finds herself trapped in a dangerous emotional triangle as the opera house descends into absolute chaos. The film clocks in at 1 h 34 m, is rated PG-13 and currently streaming on YouTube TV and to buy/rent on Prime Video.

Hey, two guest episodes in the same month! Certified Forgotten is back on track, and with that, we're pandering to the mall-culture millennials out there.

Phantom of the Mall: Eric's Revenge pulls Morgan Fairchild and Pauly Shore into a shopping mall haunted by a gym-bro phantom who wants to burn it all down. Does this adaptation stand the test of time, or will it be lost, like the empty storefronts where FYE and Sam Goody customers once visited? About Phantom of the Mall: Eric's Revenge A man loses his home and suffers life-threatening burns from a fire deliberately set by commercial real estate developers vying for his property. One year later, a shopping mall opens on the land, and a series of murders begins.

This week, in Acme, Washington, a young woman vanishes while on a jog, on her very rural road. When she's found, brutalized & very dead, it's clear that there's a very sick person in the area, even prompting the police to look into the Green River Killer. Despite several suspects, detectives have nothing to go on, except hunches, and some DNA that they can't seem to match to anyone. Then, two women having a seemingly casual conversation at a waterpark, cracks the whole case, and reveals a murderer, that is as ordinary a man as there could be!!   Along the way, we find out that the diner seems to be the center of social interaction in some small towns, that you should consider it very good service, when you call to file a missing person report, and the police send a "human tracker" right out, and that "murder stay murder"!!   New episodes, every Wednesday & Friday nights!!

Americans have been told that buying a home is one of the safest ways to secure their future. But when retirement depends on home values continuing to climb, affordability begins to look like a threat. Carlee Alm-LaBar is joined by Daniel Herriges, co-author of Escaping the Housing Trap, and Alli Thurmond-Quinlan, executive director of the Incremental Development Alliance. Together, they push beyond the idea that housing is simply an investment problem. Limited supply, narrow housing choices, transportation, retirement, and municipal finance are all tied into the same system, leaving people with fewer ways to find security at every stage of life.

Tim Parker is back from Philadelphia and the crew — Grant, Tim and David Bloom — has a night full of receipts. The Miami Heat accidentally published, then scrambled to delete, a scheduled video dated July 27 — and Grant, who lives inside YouTube Studio, explains exactly how a slip like that happens and why this one doesn't look like an accident. Is that LeBron's date? Tim reads the tea leaves the only way that's ever made sense: through the family — Zhuri's volleyball life in LA, Savannah's history with Miami, and why Golden State is a 45-minute flight that keeps everyone happy. Plus the Markieff Morris "sources" tweet that had the panel asking: per WHO? Before all that, Tim files a report from Philly: Schwarber one homer short at the Derby, the All-Star Game leading the local news, and a Phillies team that fell apart on the little things against a Dodgers club that never misses them — including the JT Realmuto baserunning decision nobody can explain. The guys make the case for Max Muncy's No. 13 in the rafters, debate Kyle Tucker as a $60M "add-on," and Tim shares a story from Dodger Stadium that confirms the worst-kept secret in baseball: the Phantom IL is real. The post-show goes NFL: Tim (a lifelong Eagles fan) says his own team isn't built to hang with the Rams, declares this the Year of Jalen Hurts, and drops a hot take — the defending-champion Seahawks miss the playoffs entirely.

Pro wrestler Dani Mo returns to the Wrestling Mayhem Show studio with Sorg and Mad Mike for a conversation about stepping away from wrestling, returning with a renewed perspective and embracing every strange opportunity the business provides. Dani takes the crew aboard her cross-country family adventure by train, traveling from Pittsburgh through Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco and beyond. She talks about first-class Amtrak accommodations, observation cars, full meals, sightseeing, hiking through Yosemite, camping on the way to Las Vegas and seeing No Doubt at the Sphere. More importantly, Dani explains why disconnecting from wrestling—even briefly—helped her decompress and appreciate the experiences waiting outside the ring. Back in wrestling, Dani discusses her acclaimed match with a visiting STARDOM competitor at Enjoy Wrestling, her desire to wrestle in Japan and the opportunities she has received to work with international talent. She also breaks down her unpredictable run in Juggalo Championship Wrestling, where she is expanding her character work, delivering longer promos, destroying cars, confronting Barnabas and navigating one of wrestling's wildest fictional family dramas as a two-time JCW Women's Champion. Mad Mike reports from Madison Square Garden, including the energy surrounding CM Punk, the New York Knicks-themed celebration and a WWE show that sometimes felt like a televised house show built specifically for the local audience. The crew also discusses SummerSlam possibilities, Sami Zayn's direction, Nick Aldis returning to the ring and the unseen wrestlers whose scheduled matches disappear whenever an authority figure creates a new main event. The episode also features the first match announcement for Sorgstock, memories from Beastman's Big Ass Birthday Bash, thoughts on WWE Unreal, questions about the value of Club WWE, AEW and STARDOM crossover, the G1 Climax and a spirited debate about roller coasters, wrestling-ring pools and the value of letting wrestling be fun. News Stories and Topics Discussed Mad Mike's Madison Square Garden experience: Mad Mike compares the reactions for CM Punk and the New York Knicks celebration while describing the unusual atmosphere of a WWE television show created heavily around its host city. CM Punk's latest major moment: The crew discusses Punk's return, championship victory and the difference between hearing a massive wrestling reaction on television and experiencing it inside the arena. New York Knicks crossover: The hosts examine the Knicks references, celebrity involvement and why parts of the show were especially rewarding for local basketball fans. WWE women's tag-team speculation: The group considers whether the current champions are temporary and whether WWE could be building toward a SummerSlam program involving the Bella Twins. What happens next for Sami Zayn: Mad Mike questions Sami's current direction and whether he could be added to another major match rather than being left without a clear SummerSlam story. Nick Aldis returning to competition: The hosts discuss Aldis moving from an authority role back into the ring, his extensive pre-WWE career and the importance of presenting him as a legitimate wrestler rather than merely an on-screen general manager. “Card Subject to Change”: A joke about wrestlers being removed from suddenly rearranged television cards evolves into a pitch for a comedy series focused on the performers who thought they had a match before the main event was rewritten. Mad Mike conquers the Royal Rumble arcade game: The crew revisits the game's classic roster and attempts to guess which wrestler Mad Mike used to win. The answer leads to an enthusiastic appreciation of D'Lo Brown. Dani Mo's cross-country train adventure: Dani describes traveling with her family in first-class Amtrak accommodations, sleeping in compact rooms, visiting the observation car and experiencing freshly prepared meals during the journey. Chicago, Seattle and San Francisco: The trip includes the Bean, Seattle's Space Needle and gum wall, the redwoods, Alcatraz, Lombard Street, the Golden Gate Bridge and several of Dani's signature travel handstands. Disconnecting from wrestling: Dani explains how the trip allowed her to stop checking messages, ignore most wrestling responsibilities and return feeling more relaxed—even when several planned bookings were unexpectedly canceled. Yosemite and dispersed camping: After leaving her family in San Francisco, Dani continues the adventure with a friend, tackles the difficult Mist Trail, earns a fire permit and camps while traveling toward Las Vegas. No Doubt at the Sphere: Dani talks about seeing Gwen Stefani up close, buying an impressive amount of merchandise and finally reaching the concert that served as the trip's destination. Why travel matters: The group reflects on how seeing different regions, cultures and lifestyles can change a person's perspective, even without leaving the United States. Enjoy Wrestling and international competition: Dani looks back on her standout match with a visiting STARDOM wrestler and explains why she believes her recent performances against Japanese talent show that she is ready for an opportunity in Japan. Dani Mo's JCW evolution: Dani discusses developing a more aggressive and three-dimensional character, improving her extended promo work and becoming comfortable performing inside JCW's deliberately chaotic environment. The Barnabas family saga: Dani explains the “daddy issues” driving her JCW storyline, including Barnabas, an adopted rival, implied drug jokes, a damaged car and increasingly personal confrontations. Two-time JCW Women's Champion: Dani discusses working as champion while balancing recognizable babyface qualities with increasingly diabolical actions. Learning through promos: Because much of Dani's recent JCW work has involved storytelling rather than traditional matches, she is gaining experience in an area she considers challenging but necessary for reaching a larger stage. Sorgstock's first match announcement: Sorg officially announces Beastman vs. Gory in “The Big Bite-Off” for the No Limits Championship, reviving a match that could not happen during the previous special event. The Sorgstock atmosphere: The crew previews an unconventional party-style wrestling event featuring strange concepts, visual gags, music and an intentionally loose approach to wrestling canon. Beastman's Big Ass Birthday Bash: Dani and Sorg revisit the themed decorations, fan activities, family involvement, weapons, cake and overall madness surrounding Beastman's 40th birthday celebration. Wrestling shows built around individuals: Beastman's birthday event, Jack Pollock's benefit and other personality-driven cards inspire a discussion about shows that celebrate a specific wrestler's identity and creative vision. Alternate versions of wrestling cards: Dani reveals that several wrestlers arrived at Beastman's show expecting completely different stipulations, including a possible pillow fight and a thumbtack-and-door match. Inflatable wrestling-ring products: An online advertisement for a wrestling-themed pool sends the hosts into a search for inflatable rings and possible future Sorgstock accessories. Kennywood and roller-coaster bravery: Dani responds to allegations that she bullied Derek Dillinger into riding Phantom's Revenge, leading to comparisons of Kennywood attractions and other intense coasters around the country. AEW and STARDOM crossover: The hosts discuss Triangle of Madness, STARDOM championships and the potential for more interaction between AEW's women's division and Japanese wrestling. G1 Climax viewing: Sorg shares his early enthusiasm for the tournament and Konosuke Takeshita while the crew repeatedly finds new ways to make the tournament's name sound inappropriate. WWE Unreal: Mad Mike discusses the behind-the-scenes series, including CM Punk quietly telling John Cena that he would miss him and Cena explaining the creative logic behind his deliberately frustrating WrestleMania performance. John Cena and AJ Styles: The crew examines their tribute-filled match, the decision to use other wrestlers' signature moves and backstage footage of Seth Rollins jokingly confronting them after they produced a difficult act to follow. A crowded wrestling calendar: The group discusses competing events in Chicago, WWE's plans surrounding WrestleMania week, possible New York events and how promotions may fill the space created by WrestleMania taking place outside the United States. Club WWE: Sorg attempts to understand the subscription's value, including exclusive merchandise, ticket access, workout content, personality-driven programs and John Cena's “Unseen 17” concept. Wrestling and major-league merchandise: The hosts consider how WWE's relationship with Fanatics may make city-specific sports collaborations easier than similar partnerships for other wrestling companies. “What We Learned” Segment Breakdown Mad Mike Mad Mike's lesson comes from watching WWE Unreal. During CM Punk's “Doctor of Punkanomics” segment with John Cena, Punk quietly told Cena, “I'm gonna miss you.” It was an emotional detail that was easy to miss during the original broadcast. That revelation leads to a broader discussion about Cena's creative intentions during his final run. Mad Mike notes that Cena's explanation of the WrestleMania match closely matched the show's earlier interpretation: the slow, frustrating and intentionally boring presentation was designed to make the audience reject that version of Cena. Dani Mo Dani says the week reestablished how fun and incredible wrestling can be. Wrestling creates opportunities to travel, meet unusual people and share memorable experiences with friends, family and people who may have only met that day. Her central lesson is that performers can become so serious about wrestling that they fail to appreciate the moment. Beastman's birthday show may not have been the largest event she has worked, but dancing with her family, watching her niece become involved and enjoying the atmosphere made it one of the most fun. Sorg Sorg initially learns that he still does not fully understand what Club WWE is offering subscribers. His more meaningful lesson comes from Beastman's birthday show and other wrestler-centered events. Sorg appreciates cards that allow one person's personality, community and creative definition of wrestling to shape the entire presentation. The conclusion: wrestling needs more “non-canon” shows—events where promotions and performers can temporarily escape normal story structures, celebrate people and try concepts that would not fit on a traditional card. Chat Room and Additional Takeaways The chat highlights the increasingly crowded wrestling calendar and the unusual “battle lines” created when several promotions schedule destination events in the same city or on the same weekend. The closing conversation reinforces that the wrestling world is large enough to contain serious competition, personal celebrations, bizarre comedy, international crossover and experiences that exist simply because they are fun.

Bobby, Eddie and Brandon Ray put their musical knowledge to the test by choosing their own teams of the greatest musicals ever—with no paper, no notes and plenty of questionable picks. They debate classics like The Phantom of the Opera, Hamilton and Grease, while Bobby shares his thoughts on Lin-Manuel Miranda and Brandon admits he has never seen a Broadway show. From famous productions to musicals they barely remember, it quickly becomes clear these guys may not be the most cultured group for the job. Watch The BobbyCast on Netflix!

Roman Jugg in conversation with David Eastaugh https://www.facebook.com/roman.jugg n late 1981, Jugg worked with the Damned as a touring keyboardist before becoming a full-time member in 1982 for the album Strawberries. Jugg also worked on a number of Damned-adjacent projects, including Naz Nomad and the Nightmares (under the alias Sphix Svenson_. and David Vanian and the Phantom Chords. After Captain Sensible left The Damned in 1984, Jugg moved from keyboards to main guitar and became a full member on the studio albums Phantasmagoria (1985) and Anything (1986). After the 1989 breakup of The Damned he continued to work with Dave Vanian and Bryn Merrick, forming The Phantom Chords. A studio album called David Vanian and the Phantom Chords was released in 1995. In May 2004, after a nine-year absence, Jugg released a new solo album called Papa Loco.

In this episode, we provide the recordings from the biggest Phantom phan meetup in the world, which was in Sydney in June 2026. It included the LFMBEC charity dinner and a Phantom-related panel held at Supanova Sydney and Supanova Perth.We love comments and feedback from the Phantom phans from around the world. If you agree and/or disagree with us, you can either email us; leave your comments at our YouTube channel, and/or leave them at our social media platforms on Facebook, Twitter, and/or Instagram. A huge thanks to Sean Bassett, who recorded the Supanova Sydney panel; Dan Fraser, who recorded the LFMBEC charity dinner interview; and Duncan Munro, who recorded the Supanova Perth panel. Some things are repeated in the Sydney and Perth panels, but there are enough different topics, phan questions, and other Phantom-related tidbits that it was definitely worth including both panels. It has to be mentioned that the audio quality at some of the events was average. For example, we had to remove the fans' questions from the Perth panel and just included when the host and presenters spoke.Time stamp:Sydney Supanova panel: 2 MinutesPerth Supanova panel: 42 MinutesLFMBEC interview: 1 Hour & 19 MinutesSome of the topics discussed throughout the 2 hours of Frew creators talking about Phantom are:The process of developing a comic from the idea to the script to roughs to pencils to inks to colours.The genesis of the friendship and working relationship between Duncan Munro and Ken Steacy.The genesis of the "The Man from Mandalay" story.Phandom in Australia and the world.Ken Steacy's relationship with the Phantom.Ken Steacy's big regret with his first Phantom gig.Ken Steacy showing the Phantom's ears in the cowl.The importance of checking the tones in grayscale when colouring your stories.What is done traditionally using pencils, inks etc and what is done digitally?Duncan Munro's relationship with the Phantom and how he became a writer of the Phantom.The process of approval with the owners of the Phantom, King Features.How long does it take to write, draw, get approval & publish a story?The consistency of the Phantom over the years.Antonio Lemos' relationship with the Phantom.Antonio Lemos' relationship with Eduardo Barreto & how Lemos consulted on the strip for his friend.Antonio Lemos' favourite Phantom artists.For those on YouTube, these recordings were audio only, so there is no footage of them talking that goes with the audio.

In eighteenth and nineteenth century England, two phantom stalkers terrorized the public and captured the collective imagination to the point of violence. However, violent outcomes and legal consequences notwithstanding, neither phantom was ever anything more than a figment of people's imaginations. References Associated Press. 1938.

In an episode we first ran back in 2014, we explore how a sunken nuclear submarine, a crazy billionaire, and a mechanical claw gave birth to a phrase that has hounded journalists and lawyers for 40 years and embodies the tension between the public's desire for transparency and the government's need to keep secrets.   Whether it comes from government spokespeople or celebrity publicists, the phrase “can neither confirm nor deny” is the perfect non-denial denial. It's such a perfect deflection that it seems like it's been around forever, but reporter Julia Barton takes us back to the 1970s and the surprising origin story of what's now known as a “Glomar Response.” With help from David Sharp and Walt Logan, we tell the story of a clandestine CIA operation to lift a sunken Soviet submarine from the ocean floor and the dilemma they faced when the world found out about it. It's an episode we first released in 2014, but given some things in the news recently, it resonated with us again. In the 40 years since that operation, the Glomar Response has become boilerplate language from an array of government agencies. With help from ProPublica editor Jeff Larson and NPR's Dina Temple-Raston, we explore the implications of this ultimate information dodge. ACLU lawyer Jameel Jaffer explains how it stymies oversight, and we learn that, even 40 years later, governmental secrecy can be emotionally painful. More information about Glomar: After 40 years, many of the details of Project Azorian are only now coming to light. The US government's default position has been to keep as much of it classified as possible. It took three years for retired CIA employee David Sharp to get permission to publish his account of Project Azorian. And FOIA played an indirect role in that, as Cold War historians got the CIA to release, in redacted form, an internal history of the mission. After that and a threat of legal action, Sharp was finally able to publish his manuscript in 2012. We mentioned conspiracy theories that have swirled around Project Azorian filling the void where official silence has reigned. One of them is promulgated in the 2005 book “Red Star Rogue” by Kenneth Sewell and Clint Richmond. They posit that the K-129 was taken over by rogue Stalinist KGB agents in order to start a nuclear conflict. But the conflict was to be between the US and China, as, according to the authors, the sub had powers to disguise its sonic signature as a Chinese Navy vessel. This book is the basis of the 2013 drama “Phantom,” which features Ed Harris and David Duchovny as Soviet military officers who sip vodka in a very un-Russian way. Russian Naval historians, like Nikolai Cherkashin, are not only insulted by this take on the cause of the K-129's demise, they say the true cause is much easier to pinpoint: They say an American vessel, possibly the USS Swordfish, collided with the Soviet submarine. Despite the fact that the US government has turned over many documents about Project Azorian and what it found to the Russian government, many in the Russian Navy stand by their theory that it was far too easy for the US to locate the K-129 on the bottom of the Pacific, given the technology of the time. According to these theories, Project Azorian was nothing more than an elaborate cover-up disguised as ... an elaborate cover-up. We can neither confirm nor deny that we exactly understand how that would have worked in practice or execution. It's one of the more solemn moments of the Cold War, and one that the Glomar Response helped keep a secret for a very long time.LATERAL CUTS:What Lies Beneath (https://radiolab.org/podcast/what-lies-beneath)  EPISODE CREDITS:  Reported by - Julia Barton Sign up for our newsletter!!

In 2009, Chicago traded 75 years of parking meter revenue for a $1.2 billion payment that helped fill an immediate budget hole. Norm Van Eeden Petersman is joined by Tony Jordan, executive director of the Parking Reform Network, and Edward Erfurt, chief technical advisor at Strong Towns, to look at what the city actually gave up and why its recent $3.3 billion bid never made it to the finish line. The lease still shapes decisions about removing parking for bus lanes, bike lanes and wider sidewalks, while the revenue keeps flowing to a private operator instead of back into the places generating it. That leaves Chicago with a much harder question than whether the original deal was bad: what would it take to manage the curb again, regain flexibility and use that money to improve the streets themselves?

Vance needs an education. Phantom Nation 15JULY2026 - PODCAST

In this episode of The Halloween Podcast, we step back into the golden age of old-time radio with “The Sea Phantom,” an episode of The Hall of Fantasy originally broadcast on August 24, 1953. The story follows writer Larry Reardon and artist Don Fleming as they stay in an isolated house along the Maine coast. After hearing a mysterious woman calling from the water, the two men discover a phantom ship, a skeleton tied to the wheel, and a chilling warning that they will soon join its dead crew. We discuss the eerie ghost-ship atmosphere, Don being identified as “the man with the brush,” Larry's refusal to believe what is happening, and the surprisingly casual reaction of the townspeople when they learn the men actually boarded the ship.
