What do Irish rebel songs and Star Trek have in common? This week on Pub Songs & Stories, we raise a glass to courage, truth, and the songs that refuse to obey. From the Easter Rising of 1916 to a Cardassian interrogation chamber, today's songs ask one dangerous question: Do you trust your own eyes? Music from Kinnfolk, Erin Ruth, Marc Gunn, The Irish Lassies This is Pub Songs & Stories #312 0:29 - Kinnfolk "A Wintertime Feast" from A Wintertime Feast 5:15 - WELCOME TO PUB SONGS & STORIES Every song has a story, every episode is a toast to Celtic and folk songwriters.

Instead of praising Irish soldiers who died fighting for England in World War I, the song asks why they were not fighting for their own land instead. It tells of ordinary men and women who stood up against a powerful empire, even when the odds were stacked against them. That's why it's a rebel song—it's about choosing freedom, courage, and self-respect over obedience. Versions like the one by Erin Ruth keep that spirit alive, reminding us that quiet voices can still challenge injustice and inspire change. 15:09 - Erin Ruth "The Foggy Dew" from Erin Ruth 18:25 - NEW PROTEST SONG INSPIRED BY STAR TREK: NEXT GENERATION "Chain of Command, Part II" from Star Trek: The Next Generation centers on Captain Picard as a prisoner of the Cardassians. His captor, Gul Madred, uses pain and fear to try to control him. But the real goal is not information. It is obedience. Madred wants Picard to stop trusting his own eyes and accept what the government tells him is true. Again and again, Picard is pushed to say something he knows is false. The episode shows how power can try to rewrite reality—and how courage can be as simple, and as hard, as holding on to the truth. It echoes George Orwell's 1984, reminding us that the final test of freedom is whether we trust our own eyes—or believe the government when it tells us we are wrong. 21:34 - Marc Gunn "Four Lights" from Four Lights single 23:56 - TODAY'S SHOW IS BROUGHT TO BY CELTIC INVASION VACATIONS Every year, I take a small group of people on a relaxing adventure to one of the Celtic nations. We don't see everything. Instead we stay in one area. We get to know the region through its culture, history, and legends. You can join me with an auditory and visual adventure through podcasts, blogs, videos, and photos. Sign to the Celtic Invasion Vacations mailing list at CelticInvasion.com. The ads on this podcast pay for some of the hosting and podcast editing. My time producing the show is paid for by my… 24:30 - THANK YOU GUNN RUNNERS ON PATREON Thank you. Truly. Your support is the reason I'm still making music, telling stories, and showing up month after month. Patreon is how modern, independent musicians survive and thrive. Album Pins and CDs help get me on the road and in front of live audiences, but my day-to-day livelihood—the time it takes to write, record, podcast, film, and share—comes directly from Patrons of the Arts. As we continue into a new year, Patreon is where everything comes together. Patrons receive a brand-new song download every month. These are exclusive tracks you won't find anywhere else—works in progress, experiments, and finished songs that come straight from my creative desk to you. You'll also get regular updates when there's news to share, behind-the-scenes blogs, short and long-form videos, and access to a growing archive of bootleg concert recordings and special performances. You can join for as little as $5 a month. That small commitment adds up to real stability. It buys time to write songs. It funds recording and production. It keeps the creative engine running without chasing algorithms or trends. And if supporting financially isn't possible right now, that's okay. You can still join Patreon for free and receive regular updates, thoughts, and stories as they happen. Being part of the community matters, whether you're pledging or simply listening along. Patreon isn't just support—it's collaboration. It's how these songs, podcasts, and ideas exist at all. If you'd like more details, just email follow@celtfather. I'd love to have you along for the journey this year. 27:08 - QUEST & CHORUS of IRISH LASSIES The Irish Lassies are a 6-piece American Celtic folk band native to New York's Finger Lakes region. The band started when long-time childhood friends decided to take their casual Irish sessions and grow into a professional folk group. In only a few short years, the Irish Lassies have become known as one of the premier Celtic bands in New York State. Their self-titled album The Irish Lassies is comprised of traditional Irish music with unique Lassies' arrangements. Immigration Stories, an all-original album, aims to take listeners back to 18th and 19th century America with heart-felt true tales of Irish settlers. The Lassies' unique style focuses on powerful ballads using six-part harmonies and soulful songs that will invite you to raise a glass, dance, and sing along with a set list that takes you on a journey from Ireland to America. Slainte! 32:42 - The Irish Lassies "Burnout on the Peanut line" from Immigration Stories 35:14 - CREDITS Thanks for listening to Pub Songs & Stories. This episode was edited by Mitchell Petersen. You can follow and listen to the show on my Patreon or wherever you find podcasts. Sign up to my mailing list to learn more about songs featured in this podcast and discover where I'm performing. Before we go, a quick reminder: caring about Celtic culture also means caring about the land that shaped it. The songs we love were born from fields, coasts, forests, and villages that depend on a healthy planet. Climate action doesn't have to be loud or perfect. It starts small. Walk when you can. Choose renewable energy if it's available to you. Support artists, farmers, and local businesses who care about the earth. Reduce waste. Reuse what you can. Leave a place better than you found it. When we protect the land, we protect the music, the stories, and the generations yet to sing them. Sláinte—and thank you for listening.

Happy St Brigit's day! This year's celebration of Ireland's most beloved female icon comes a bit earlier to the podcast, but keep tuned as we have prepared a surprise for you to be published this Friday!This week we are joined by the amazing linguist and historian Jean-Michel Picard, Professor Emeritus at University College Dublin, whose work has inspired generations of scholars studying medieval Ireland and Irish saints. In this episode, Prof. Picard tells us all about the transmission of the cult of St Brigit to the Continent, the various sources containing a wealth of information about the saint. Prof. Picard also shares the difficulties of tracking down manuscripts when the internet was still in its infancy and offers us a glimpse of medieval Irish scholarship in Ireland in the 1980s.

Actor Todd Stashwick's IMDb page is miles long, with appearances in Laws & Orders OG and SVU, Angel, Buffy, Courage the Cowardly Dog, The Riches, Phineas and Ferb, and Star Trek: Picard and the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe Disney+ series VisionQuest. He's also a Bigfoot enthusiast. Not a big foot enthusiast, a fan of the cryptozoological creature also known as Sasquatch. Alert followers of host John Moe know that he shares this interest as well, and deeply. John and Todd compare notes on what is actually a soothing activity: poring over YouTube videos, reading first person accounts, and speculating on whether the “Bigfoot as transdimensional traveler” angle is possible or just a little too far. At various points in this interview, John gets a bit too excited about Bigfoot and, remembering what our show is, producer Gabe Mara calms him down.Hey Sleepy Heads, is there anyone whose voice you'd like to drift off to, or do you have suggestions on things we could do to aid your slumber?Email us at: sleepwithcelebs@maximumfun.org.Follow the Show on:Instagram @sleepwcelebsBluesky @sleepwithcelebsTikTok @SleepWithCelebsJohn is on Bluesky @JohnMoeJohn's acclaimed, best-selling memoir, The Hilarious World of Depression, is now available in paperback._________________________________________________________________________Join | Maximum FunIf you like one or more shows on MaxFun, and you value independent artists being able to do their thing, you're the perfect person to become a MaxFun monthly member.

Our Spotlight Series brings us to TNG's "The Drumhead" and a focus on Admiral (retired) Norah Satie. When a potential security leak and sabotage is discovered on board the Enterprise, Starfleet brings Admiral Satie out of retirement to help with the investigation. What follows turns into a "witch hunt" of sorts as Admiral Satie turns the investigation into a trial of a crewman that Picard reminds her is innocent until proven guilty. Conspiracy and paranoia run rampant until Admiral Satie explodes. Is Admiral Satie one of Starfleet's Finest or Starfleet's worst? You decide!

This week, we're joined once again by Cash Edwards, who shares an intimate look at his longtime friendship with Star Trek: The Next Generation producer Herbert J. Wright. Their relationship, and shared history with Gene and Majel Roddenberry, sparked a bold attempt to revive one of Gene's most personal concepts: The Questor Tapes. In 2004, Herb, Cash, Rod Roddenberry, and a team that included Mike Okuda and Jules Urbach put together a new pitch for Questor—a project updated for the post-9/11 world but still driven by the timeless Roddenberry themes of evolution, ethics, and survival. From detailed series bibles to pilot treatments and fan outreach, Cash walks us through the chaotic early years of TNG, the roots of Questor, and the bittersweet story behind its final pitch.

AGT 205: The Evolution of a Species Pt 4: The Borg (Part 1) In this episode of All Good Things: A Star Trek Universe Podcast, host Christos is joined by Kelvin, Kristin, and Amy  to begin a two-part deep dive into one of Star Trek's most iconic and terrifying adversaries: the Borg. Part 1 explores the Borg's evolution from their first chilling appearance in Star Trek: The Next Generation—where they function as an unknowable, unstoppable force of cosmic horror—to Star Trek: First Contact, where the introduction of the Borg Queen gives the Collective a face, a voice, and a more personal connection to Jean-Luc Picard's trauma. The panel examines key episodes including “Q Who,” “The Best of Both Worlds,” “I, Borg,” and “Descent,” discussing how fear, loss of identity, and inevitability defined the Borg at their peak. They also debate whether First Contact strengthened the Borg by making them cinematic—or weakened them by making them knowable. This is Part 1 of 2 in our Evolution of a Species series on the Borg. Part 2 will continue the discussion with Voyager and Picard.

This week on The Trek Files: warp coils, dilithium chambers, and a whole lot of gamma rays. Returning guest Rick Sternbach joins Larry Nemecek once again for a lively exploration of Star Trek: The Next Generation's scientific backbone. Using early technical memos and a classic 1987 warp engine sketch, Rick walks us through how the team brought real-world physics into the heart of the Enterprise-D's design and when they just had to make it up. From working with Los Alamos physicists to devising the ejection system for the warp core, Rick shares stories of how he and Mike Okuda grounded the show's tech in reality while still serving the drama. Ever wonder why deuterium goes on top, antimatter on the bottom, or how a photon torpedo really works? This one's for the technobabble lovers and science fans alike.

The Enterprise D heads back to earth when a routine seismic retrofit of San Francisco uncovers something shocking. It's Data's flippin' head, all severed and covered with dirt! Imagine Data's surprise since his head is still attached to his body! He and the crew are going to have to get their heads in the game to figure out how it ended up buried there back in the 19th century. Everyone is out of their heads with worry, but they work the case. Picard orders them to Devidia II when Troi hears voices in her head telling her humans are being abducted. When Data is excluded from the Away Team investigating, Picard explains they're keeping him on board in an attempt to head off fate, but wouldn't you know it, circumstances lead Data down to the planet. Our stalwart android keeps a cool head, but the rest of the crew lose theirs when he disappears! Before you know it, we see Data in 19th century San Francisco, meeting up with Guinan and going head to head with one Samuel Clemons (aka Mark Twain). Back in the 24th century, Guinan tells Picard he needs to head up the Away Team going after Data, and he does, leading them all straight into a glowing alien portal.

Long before The Next Generation brought LCARS to life or 3D printers made cosplay easier, Star Trek fans relied on one book to make the Enterprise feel real: The Starfleet Technical Manual by Franz Joseph. In this week's episode, Larry Nemecek welcomes back Karen Schnaubelt, daughter of Franz Joseph, to mark the 50th anniversary of that seminal 1975 publication, just weeks after its surprise appearance atop the New York Times bestseller list. More than just a how-to guide for warp drives and turbo lifts, the Tech Manual became a cornerstone of Trek fandom and helped lay the foundation for the Star Trek revival that followed. Karen reflects on her father's unique journey from retired engineer to pop culture icon, how the Technical Manual grew out of lunch-hour sketches and club meetings, and what it was like watching fandom embrace a book that treated Star Trek like a living universe. Plus, Larry and Karen discuss how that very success may have stirred some tension in Gene Roddenberry's orbit.

Are you exhausted all the time? In this solo episode, Darin breaks down why so many people feel chronically exhausted despite eating clean, exercising, and "doing everything right." He explains how modern life disrupts mitochondrial function, circadian rhythm, stress signaling, and nutrient availability, and why fatigue is not a personal failure, but a biological signal. This episode offers a grounded, practical roadmap to restoring energy by realigning your environment, habits, and daily rhythms with how the body is actually designed to function.     What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why chronic fatigue is exploding—even among healthy, active people How mitochondria do far more than "make energy" The role of circadian rhythm, light exposure, and timing in energy production Why stress, overtraining, and modern lifestyles drain cellular energy How emotional suppression and unexpressed stress affect vitality The difference between forcing energy and allowing energy Simple daily practices that support mitochondrial repair How breathwork, stillness, and social connection restore resilience Why nutrition alone isn't enough without rhythm and recovery How to realign your biology with the modern world     Timecodes 00:00:00 – Welcome to SuperLife and the intention behind this episode 00:00:32 – Sponsor: TheraSage and natural frequency-based healing 00:02:10 – Happy New Year + why this conversation matters now 00:02:37 – Are you exhausted even though you're "doing everything right"? 00:03:26 – The modern energy crisis and rising chronic fatigue 00:04:12 – Why surface-level health advice no longer works 00:04:27 – Mitochondria: more than energy factories 00:04:59 – Circadian misalignment, EMFs, and modern stressors 00:05:36 – Overtraining, stress load, and lack of recovery 00:06:00 – Fatigue as a signal, not a lack of discipline 00:06:18 – How artificial light disrupts internal clocks 00:07:25 – Discipline as alignment with natural rhythms 00:07:36 – Emotional release, primal expression, and energy recovery 00:08:47 – Why "why am I tired all the time?" is exploding online 00:09:24 – The mitochondria as environmental sensors 00:10:06 – Stress signaling, thoughts, and cellular energy flow 00:11:18 – Breathwork and slowing the nervous system 00:12:24 – Social connection and low-stress signaling 00:13:02 – Sponsor: Bite toothpaste and eliminating plastic exposure 00:15:19 – Morning sunlight and circadian priming 00:15:52 – Reducing artificial light at night 00:16:15 – Nutrients that support mitochondrial function 00:17:29 – Sleep timing, consistency, and repair 00:18:20 – Evening routines and melatonin protection 00:19:46 – Small daily steps compound into real energy 00:20:17 – Antioxidants, inflammation, and recovery 00:20:49 – Training smarter, not harder 00:21:31 – Breathwork, sauna, and recovery rituals 00:22:26 – Nutrition, protein, and polyphenols 00:24:37 – Five daily energy takeaways 00:25:24 – Energy is permitted, not forced 00:26:03 – Listening to the body and closing reflections 00:26:49 – SuperLife Patreon and community support     Join the SuperLife Community Get Darin's deeper wellness breakdowns — beyond social media restrictions: Weekly voice notes Ingredient deep dives Wellness challenges Energy + consciousness tools Community accountability Extended episodes Join for $7.49/month → https://patreon.com/darinolien     Thank You to Our Sponsors: Therasage: Go to www.therasage.com and use code DARIN at checkout for 15% off Bite Toothpaste: Go to trybite.com/DARIN20 or use code DARIN20 for 20% off your first order.     Find More from Darin Olien: Instagram: @darinolien Podcast: SuperLife Podcast Website: superlife.com Book: Fatal Conveniences     Key Takeaway "Fatigue isn't failure.

Writer/producer Mike Sussman returns to The Trek Files with a personal favorite: the creative and very meta preface to Gene Roddenberry's novelization of Star Trek: The Motion Picture. In it, Gene (writing as himself and as Admiral Kirk) casts the original Star Trek series as a fictionalized dramatization of real events. Wait… what? Join Mike and Larry Nemecek as they unpack Roddenberry's playful (and possibly defensive) retcon of Trek canon, written at a time when Gene was emerging as a sci-fi thought leader in the post-Star Wars, post-lecture-circuit era. It's Roddenberry as revisionist historian, spinning group consciousness, mind control revolts, and alternate human evolution… all in the introduction to his own movie tie-in novel. You may never look at the "real" Kirk, or Trek canon, the same way again.

The Star Trek movie journey continues with one of the franchise's most talked-about entries: Star Trek: First Contact. For Episode 126, we're joined by special guest host Sonyl Nagale as Lanita watches the film for the very first time, continuing her path through the Star Trek movies as a true film virgin. With the Borg threatening humanity, Picard confronting his trauma, and the unforgettable Borg Queen making her chilling debut, we dig into what makes this film stand out—from its darker tone and action-forward energy to the character moments that still resonate decades later.

What happens when your sci-fi franchise is also a part-time science think tank? This week, Rick Sternbach returns to The Trek Files to discuss a set of internal memos he and Michael Okuda sent to the TNG production team, an essential peek behind the curtain at how plausible science and week-to-week TV production collided during the Berman era. These "tech notes" weren't just background noise. They helped shape the direction of key episodes, lent credibility to futuristic concepts like nanotechnology and AI, and quietly preserved Trek's internal logic. From computer core comparisons to white dwarf fragments, Rick walks us through how the art department helped make the 24th century feel real and even got a line read by Scotty. Whether you're a longtime fan of the TNG Technical Manual or just someone who geeks out over starship systems, this one's for you. Documents and Additional References: Technical Memo: "Evolution" – notes on nanotechnology, AI behavior, and micro-replication systems in TNG S3E1 Technical Memo: "Hollow Pursuits" – science commentary and plausible extrapolations for the episode's holodeck failure storyline Technical Memo: "The Most Toys" – suggestions on transporter physics and energy beam effects Naren Shankar (science advisor and writer, TNG Seasons 3–7) Joan Pearce (continuity consultant, Roddenberry-era Star Trek) The Trek Files Season 14 on Memory Alpha All episodes and documents: The Trek Files on Memory Alpha Visit the Trekland site for behind-the-scenes access and exclusive merchandise.

Before Star Trek: Discovery unmasked the Breen in season 5, they were little more than an enigma in the Trek canon, name-dropped but rarely seen. This week on The Trek Files, Discovery writer and producer Carlos Cisco joins us to talk about tracing those first cryptic mentions of the Breen, buried in The Next Generation scripts for "The Loss" and "Hero Worship," and how they helped inspire the character of L'ak and a new chapter in Star Trek storytelling. Carlos reflects on working with the Discovery team to shape the Breen arc and what it means to tell stories that are simultaneously new and rooted in Trek history. Along the way, we look at how offhand script references from 1990 can fuel major plot threads decades later and how today's writers sometimes find the best inspiration in yesterday's margins. Don't miss this conversation about canon archaeology and how the smallest details can echo across centuries.

Avec Jean-Philippe Wauthier à l'animation, Magali Picard parle de son année chargée. Jean-Sébastien livre enfin une chronique : les suggestions de cadeaux absurdes d'un ami. Et Pierre Brassard donne des nouvelles de sa pression.

Just when you thought it was safe to use the Transporter again… In an attempt to help a stranded Romulan ship,  Geordi and Ensign Ro Larin are phased into ghost mode! The rest of the crew grapples with what they think is the deaths of two of our favorite characters. Data plans a funeral for his best friend Geordi while Worf celebrates. Riker laments and may or may not have feelings for Ensign Ro Larin he wants to share. Captain Picard keeps his upper lip stiff while Geordi has to convince Ro they ain't dead! Once she is convinced, it's team La Forge and Ro working together, figuring, and even touching each other a couple of times! Just when you think they've got it figured — plot twist (try not to sing that part)! There's a Romulan in the same state of phasery, and he's conspiring to commit some murder. All the while the Romulans are plotting, and scheming, scheming and plotting (Really, they're Romulans. This is what they do). But, these pointy-eared bastards are actually scheming to blow up the U.S.S. Enterprise! Will Geordi and Ro be able to outrun their rogue nemesis? Will they be able to communicate from their Phase-State to Data so he can zap their asses back into existence in time to save the Enterprise? All of this exciting adventure on Episode 23, Season Five, of ST:TNGeez, Not Another Star Trek Podcast!Even more available at: https://tngeez.com

When the Enterprise responds to a distress call, they find an entire planet destroyed save for one 5 acre plot and a couple of elderly residents with good tea in a nice house. But when things aren't quite adding up, Picard breaks character and does some solo sluething.

After seven seasons and one very contested transporter accident, we welcome Voyager executive producer and co-creator of Tuvix, Ken Biller, for a wide-ranging conversation about the legacy of Star Trek: Voyager. Guest co-host Earl Green joins John to explore the creative pressures behind the series finale, the constraints of '90s television, and how a light-hearted idea about a goofy transporter mix-up became one of Trek's most morally complex debates. Also: alternate titles, unwritten sequels, and that time Ken was a Jeopardy! answer. It's a candid, thoughtful look back from someone who was there from the first season to Endgame. Hosted by John Champion and Earl Green Welcome to Mission Log, a Roddenberry Entertainment podcast, where we explore the Star Trek universe one episode at a time.

Sam and Sean fly ALL the way to Japan to sit in Jack (Stovold, not Crusher)'s living room to talk about what is mostly likely the final onscreen appearance of Jean-Luc Picard, the series finale of PICARD!  Barm, Kregg and Kev opt to stay in their homes, but we celebrate BARM'S PERFECT ATTENDANCE RECORD!  We also chat about what is probably(?) the series finale of Mando, Breath of the Wild on the eve of its sequel's release, and yes, the episode where all the old people you love singlehandedly defeat the Borg forever and it's so fucking awesome, yay.  This episode will live on forever, or at least confusingly sometimes be dead, but also be back again, like Q.  Chingy!

This week, we open the Starfleet personnel file for Admiral Jonathan Archer, a detailed biographical memo written by Star Trek: Enterprise writer/producer Michael Sussman for the fan-favorite episode "In a Mirror, Darkly." It was only meant to be a quick background graphic, so how did it evolve into a fan-favorite bit of canon? And why did Mike sneak "President of the UFP" into the character's résumé without telling the showrunners? Larry welcomes Mike to The Trek Files to revisit the creation of this in-universe bio, share behind-the-scenes memories from the final days of Enterprise, and unpack how a throwaway idea from 2005 became the seed of a new series pitch, Star Trek: United, which imagines Archer in his presidential years. From secret nods to The West Wing, to collaborating with Andy Probert on "Space Force One," this episode is a crash course in how Trek canon can be built with equal parts creativity and chaos.

Dr. Martin Picard, PhD, is a professor of behavioral medicine at Columbia University and an expert on how our behaviors and psychology shape cellular energy production and rates of aging. He explains that your mitochondria don't just “make energy”; they translate what you do—your mindset and your relationships—into the energy you experience as vitality or lack thereof. He explains how exercise, nutrition, sleep, meditation, and even certain thought patterns and our sense of purpose can charge our cells like batteries. He also shares findings that hair greying is the result of cellular stress and is reversible. This episode links physical and mental ‘energy' with cellular energy and provides science-supported tools to improve your physical and mental health. Read the episode show notes at hubermanlab.com.

Before it was a spoon-shaped ship lost in the Delta Quadrant, the U.S.S. Voyager was a series of sketches, foam-core models, and engineering daydreams from the mind of artist and tech consultant Rick Sternbach. As we continue marking the 30th anniversary of Star Trek: Voyager, Rick returns to The Trek Files to walk us through the behind-the-scenes process of designing one of Trek's most distinctive starships. From the early design directives—"smaller, leaner, faster"—to the collaborative process with producers like Rick Berman and Jeri Taylor, we explore how Voyager took shape on paper and on screen. Along the way, Rick and Larry discuss the evolution of Voyager's signature articulated nacelles, the integration of set blueprints into exterior design, and the legacy of real-world science and scientists (including Minsky and Bussard) that informed Trek's fictional tech. And yes, Rick even drops a bit of headcanon about post-Delta Quadrant refits to the Intrepid-class. Is the EMH evidence that Voyager's computer is sentient? Did the Voyager design secretly borrow from The Runabout? Could curvier nacelles have saved the timeline? This week, we boldly go into the mind of one of Star Trek's most influential designers.

Remember the Borg? Remember how absolutely terrifying they were? They kidnapped our beloved Jean-Luc and wiped out a huge chunk of Starfleet just a season or so back! But what if I told you these malevolent murder machines were just a pack of misunderstood kids? No, seriously! They may want to assimilate you and absorb everything distinctive and special about you, but that's what all the robots are doing these days, right Alexa? Meet 3 of 5, a Borg drone the Enterprise crew discover in a crash site. While Picard says ditch the bitch, Bev has other ideas and brings 3 aboard. Before you know it, she and Geordi are building bridges and tearing down fences getting to know the little guy. Soon they're calling him “Hugh” and trying to help him learn and grow. That's all nice and lovely except the Captain wants to arm Hugh with a deadly virus and send him back to the collective as a Doom's Day weapon. Picard and Guinan are bent on the complete destruction of the Borg, but will their plans be spoiled by a bad case of the Feelings? Will Picard learn to love the alien? Will Bev and Geordi let love rule? Will someone reprogram Hugh into a Roomba drone to keep the wall carpeting clean?

I grew up watching Star Trek: The Next Generation. By then, The Original Series was on re-runs and seemed hokey in comparison. Picard is my captain. The world of the 24th century really captivated my imagination as a child. I've rewatched the series recently, and in my opinion, it's stood up to the test of time. Of course, that may be my childhood nostalgia talking, but I'm sticking with it. Most of the science in Star Trek remains Science Fiction,...

This week, I had the privilege of sitting down yet again with the one and only TopLobsta, and David L Corbo (AKA The Raven) of "Nephilim Death Squad". Enjoy this conversation as we delve into the proverbial deep end of conspiracy and parapolitics dissecting the anatomy of a school shooting through the untold story of the Columbine massacre, following the echoes of this tragedy to a much more plausible alternative conclusion.Through objectively reexamining the details of this case we pry back the curtain yet again, ultimately revealing the all too familiar hidden hand responsible for guiding these chaotic events into place. The facade of virtue drenched in moral corruption reflects the cunning nature of our unending adversary, spotlighting the manipulative tactics of these engineers of outcome.Please consider supporting our work- Austin's Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/TheUnderclassPodcastAustin's Spreaker: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-underclass-podcast--6511540Austin's Rumble: https://rumble.com/user/TheUnderclassPodcastAustin's YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheUnderclassPodcast☠️ NEPHILIM DEATH SQUAD Skip the ads.

I've seen so many patients struggle with fatigue, brain fog, and burnout, and this conversation gave me a new way of thinking about why that happens and how to approach it. On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I'm joined by Dr. Martin Picard, a Columbia scientist studying how energy flows through the body, and what that flow means for how we think, feel, and age. We touch on a simple idea that could reframe the way you understand your own energy, and how your daily choices influence it over time. Catch the full conversation on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts. We uncover: • Why your energy can feel “off” even when labs look normal • What mitochondria communicate beyond just ATP production • How stress, recovery, and sleep shift your cellular energy capacity • Why individuality matters more than group averages in real life health outcomes • The simple daily choices that build or drain metabolic resilience over time At the end of the day, energy is the foundation of how we show up in our lives, and we can influence it more than we think.
