Today, for our 50th Lang Fairy Tales episode, it's time for another triple - and this trio of stories are ones most people might already know.The Ratcatcher is a fairly straight take on the Pied Piper of Hamelin, albeit with a Transylvanian Twist.The True History of Little Golden Hood marks the Lang's second attempt at Red Riding Hood - and it's pretty great!The Three Dwarfs meanwhile starts promisingly, though then becomes Toads and Diamonds, and for no good reason...We dig into each after the fact and discuss their strengths, weaknesses, and seeming subtexts. And hooray for grandmas who are also witches and not evil!We really hope you enjoy the stories and our chat about them, and will speak to you again on Saturday for our Buckinghamshire-themed Three Ravens Live Show, recorded last weekend at Chiltern Open Air Museum!If you are unfamiliar with the Lang Fairy Tales, these seminal collections were assembled between 1889 and 1913 by a married couple, folklorists and translators Nora and Andrew Lang, with most of the work done to compile them completed by Nora, also known as Leonora Blanche Alleyne.Assembled and published in 12 colour-coded "Fairy Books," the corpus the Langs put together included 798 fairy tales from across cultures, many of which had never before been translated into English.They were amongst the most influential books of their time, changing the course of children's literature - although they're hardly just for children, and often deal with quite challenging concepts.Today, purchasing a complete set of the Lang Fairy Books in good condition costs over £4,000 ($5,000+).Thankfully, the collections are all out of copyright, meaning that we can now tell these stories, in podcast form, many for the first time, and share them with a global audience, for free.Our plan is to release the stories between main series of Three Ravens, performing them straight (though with plenty of silly voices) letting the tales speak for themselves in all their madcap, sharp-edged, often quite bizarre glory.The only edits we have made are to amend some culturally-insensitive epithets, which typically pertain to ethnicity, with any such edits made by Eleanor Conlon.Three Ravens is an English Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on one of England's 39 historic counties, exploring the history, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more. Then, and most importantly, the pair take turns to tell a new version of an ancient story from that county - all before discussing what that tale might mean, where it might have come from, and the truths it reveals about England's hidden past...Bonus Episodes are released on Thursdays plus Local Legends episodes on Saturdays - interviews with acclaimed authors, folklorists, podcasters and historians with unique perspectives on that week's county.With a range of exclusive content on Patreon, too, including audio ghost tours, the Three Ravens Newsletter, and monthly Three Ravens Film Club episodes about folk horror films from across the decades, why not join us around the campfire and listen in?REGISTER FOR THE TALES OF SOUTHERN ENGLAND TOURVisit our website Join our Patreon Social media channels and sponsors Hosted on Acast.

Nicholas Tochka analyzes the role of rock music in the life of Charles Manson, the Family, and the August 1969 Tate-LaBianca killings, which also gives larger insight into Sixties counterculture. Failed singer-songwriter. Devious cult leader. A rock Pied Piper. The product of a sick society. Just another dime-a-dozen singing hippy mystic. Did the guitar-playing guru personify the violence that the rock counterculture inflicted on America? Or did his music diagnose the dehumanizing effects of that society's broken institutions? For over five decades, commentators have debated the meaning of Charles Manson and the Tate-LaBianca killings. Rock music links their narratives: from the acid drenched singalongs at the Spahn Movie Ranch, to a bizarre theology centered on Beatles songs, to his commune's alleged links with Hollywood's elite, to an album, LIE: The Love and Terror Cult (1970). In this first comprehensive examination of the Manson Family's music, Nicholas Tochka writes with, against, and alongside the many authors-true-crime hacks, gonzo journalists, conspiracy theorists, and rock critics alike-who have told and retold the story of "the Manson murders." Playing the truth games that these postwar Americans helped invent, The Musical Lives of Charles Manson: The Beatles, the Beach Boys, and the Invention of the Sixties (Bloomsbury, 2026) presents a new take on the story of the commune-and on rock's role in fracturing the possibility of writing trustworthy histories after the Sixties. "They are afraid of it, because it tells the truth," Manson once claimed, describing his music. Just what truths did the Manson Family's music-making tell?

Five straight years. No meaningful progress.That is the headline from the 2026 Internet Lead Effectiveness study published by Pied Piper Management Company. More than half of all web leads sent to powersports dealerships receive no personal response within 24 hours. The dealers who do respond well sell 50% more units from the same leads.Fran O'Hagan founded Pied Piper in 2003 after spending years inside the dealership world at Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Jaguar Land Rover. His team has been measuring how powersports dealers respond to web leads since 2011 and publishing the results every year since. He is also a lifelong motorcycle buyer who stopped counting at 100 bikes.In this episode, Jacob sits down with Fran to break down the 2026 ILE study, what the data means for dealers right now, and what the top performing dealers are doing differently than the other 87%.What we cover:Why the industry average ILE score has been stuck at 44 for five straight yearsThe two things every dealer can do this week that will immediately move the needleWhy having a CRM does not make your response better unless you have the process to go with itHow Indian Motorcycle has held the top spot four years in a row and exactly what their dealers do differentlyWhy AI is not the shortcut most dealers think it is and when it actually helpsThe Ken Garff story: a 90-store dealer group that finished dead last, called Pied Piper angry, and became a top three performer in one year without any trainingWhy the phone call is still the highest converting response path by a wide marginWhat happens to your leads after 24 hours (spoiler: it almost does not matter anymore)OEM accountability and the misleading dashboards telling dealers they are fine when they are notService department lead response and what is coming next from Pied PiperIf you run a dealership or work for one, this episode will make you look at your lead inbox differently.Watch on YouTube: ⁠https://youtube.com/@dealershipfixit?si=xGw636a89UUDAK20⁠Connect with Fran: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/franohagan/⁠Learn more about Pied Piper: ⁠https://www.piedpiperpsi.com⁠Connect with Jacob: ⁠https://linkedin.com/in/jacob-b-berry⁠Follow the Fixit Online: ⁠https://linktr.ee/dealershipfixit⁠Sponsor: ⁠https://dealers.motohunt.com⁠

We talk about the demoralizing effect of a crash, hear about the notebook and time manipulation, and also turn to our takeaways. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Sections played: To Zora Boss (T), through Goron Dungeon (B) Issues covered: the giants sequence, dealing with a crash or its demoralizing effects, tools stability, puzzling out what your systems can do, convoluted dungeon designs, learning a lot from building the game, having clues to aid the player who has to come back, a vague map, a design getting away from you, having too many tools for the interface, having more time to smooth it out, constraints on a team, not knowing if the rewards would be worth the effort of doing things, having a loop as a player, feeling protected in save systems, people slowing down when you slow down time, memorable vs unmemorable NPCs, the amount of dialog you have increasing depth and motivation, making one location really deep, having NPCs come back to help the player, enriching Clock Town, the alien defense and its reward, the Pied Piper of Romani Ranch, the chick magnet and a great pay-off, having theories, getting stuck on a boss but being able to move on, being more than the sum of its parts, swinging for the fences, layering onto the world, being able to independently develop things into the game, a man's reach should exceed his grasp, usability not quite getting there, getting that audio mix right, remaking Ocarina and this game.

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I analyze the leadership shift at Workday and what it means in the age of agentic AI.Highlights00:00 — I want to talk about a change at the top of Workday. And I want to point out somebody who's been a real superstar in this business and that's Workday co-founder, former co-CEO, former CEO, chairman, executive chairman, resigned as CEO, now back in as CEO, Aneel Bhusri.01:13 — He was going to be the person that ran all the business, the operations. And Aneel said, "I can go back to what I truly love," which is developing products and strategy. Carl Eschenbach left about a week ago. The board asked Bhusri to step back in as CEO, and he's done that. So there's no question that Aneel Bhusri's first love is products and strategy.02:24 — He said, “Now, with Carl Eschenbach coming in a couple of years ago, now I can go do this stuff I really love around products and strategy.” It is this thing about never being trained to do it. He's on the board of directors at General Motors, a highly accomplished executive in a lot of ways. Aneel certainly doesn't need the money.03:13 — How does a company like Workday or Oracle or SAP or Salesforce balance those two things, the enterprise applications that brought them here, and the agentic AI that has to take them forward? Workday, several months ago, announced Workday ERP. From the outside, you've got SAP and Oracle always aggressively trying to go after Workday customers.03:59 — I want to mention about Aneel, the way he manages. He said, “I've sort of become”— this is when machine learning, ML, was really becoming hot — “I became the Pied Piper of Workday. I was just going around to all the different developers and engineering teams and just asking developers and engineering teams over and over and over again, what are you doing with ML?"04:56 — And now they've got two great president-level executives at Workday. Rob Enslin and Gerrit Kazmaier. I think it's very likely that about a year from now, Workday will announce that Bhusri is going to become co-CEO and elevate one of those two, Enslin or Kazmaier, to the co-CEO role with him.

If you’re feeling torn between “buy anything, it’s a housing crisis” and “don’t touch property, it’s all a bubble”, this episode is for you. In this solo flight, Bushy Martin ditches crystal balls and headlines and lays out a clear, conservative property flight plan for 2026. Not predictions. Not hotspots. Just grounded thinking to help you make calm, confident decisions in a noisy, FOMO-fuelled market. Because 2026 isn’t shaping up as a perfect storm, or a clean boom. It’s more like a patchwork quilt. Some markets will sizzle. Some will simmer. Others will stagnate. And the difference won’t come down to luck - it’ll come down to planning, positioning, and behaviour. Bushy unpacks what the big data houses and forecasters are saying — SQM, Domain, the banks, PK Gupta, Hotspotting, Cotality and more — then translates it into plain-English insights you can actually use, without becoming someone else’s exit strategy in an overcooked “Instagram suburb”. You’ll hear why Australia’s long-talked-about housing shortage still looks like a blocked drain, with construction, planning and infrastructure bottlenecks meaning we’re not building enough homes in the right places. That ongoing scarcity continues to support prices, even as affordability bites. Bushy also explains why government demand schemes often make the affordable end of the market less affordable, pushing more buyers into the same narrow price bands, turning entry-level markets into musical chairs while doing little to fix supply. And while most forecasts point upward into 2026, Bushy is clear: You shouldn’t build your life on a forecast. Instead, this episode gives you a framework to stress-test opportunities as if: Interest rates don’t fall Lending tightens further Your income is less secure than you’d like If a deal still stacks up under those assumptions, it’s probably worth a closer look. In this episode, you’ll discover: Why 2026 looks more like a patchwork quilt than a national boom or bust How underbuilding, affordability pressure and policy settings are shaping the year ahead Why forecasts are best-case scenarios, not personal investment plans The difference between genuine opportunity and Pied Piper hotspots driven by late-stage FOMO The types of markets Bushy sees as long-term “keepers”, and the “Not Spots” smart investors should treat with caution How to use the 3 I’s (Infrastructure, Industry, Incomes) and 3 P’s (People, Property, Position) as X-ray goggles for any location Why behaviour, not the market, is the biggest risk for investors in 2026 How small, smart, consistent steps beat chasing the next shiny thing A simple 2026 investor playbook built around Freedom Numbers, BEAR Facts, buffers and boundaries This isn’t a prediction show. It’s a planning session. If you’re ready to move from FOMO to a clear flight plan, one your future self will thank you for, settle in and let’s get invested.

Movie reviews #57-1 (Pied Piper 1972) This be a rated G movie about the Black Death with an obviously stoned looking Donovan as the Pied Piper. surprising that Donovan never wrote a song called “get the cash up front”.2 (Watch out we're Mad 1974) Your decade under the influence crew has watched several Italian 70's films that had some good political and even queer representation, but they all also had horrible sexual assault of women scenes. Enter this film that does not have horrid assault, just two guys spending all their time together being frenemies and wanting 2 dune buggy's, that's it, annnnd we found it quite refreshing.
3 (Murder by death 1976) Peter Sellers and many other talented people star in this zany whodunnit, but Sellers plays an extremely racist character, soooooo just watch Clue!
4 (Amityville Horror 1979) The older brother from Goonies, Dad has great hair in this movie, in the beginning. As his demonic possession marches on his hair care routine goes right out the window. Better reporter, and superman's girlfriend is here too, and the whole thing would be fine if the damned priest she asked to cleanse their new house knew what he was doing.
5 (Strangers, the story of a mother and daughter 1979) Bette Davis and Gena Rowlands star in this serious but also campy rad made for tv movie about A Mother who don wanna talk and a Daughter who does, who will win.
6 (Brubaker 1980) Wow this has a great top four, Robert Redford, Yaphet Kotto, Jane Alexander, and the mighty Morgan Freeman in one of 2 movies he did that year where he is stuck in prison. This film is great and is about prison reform which it still desperately needs. Reform hmmmmm maybe revolution.

Rebecca Gardner, the founder of Houses and Parties, grew up in Corpus Christi, Texas, which she remembers as vibrant, colorful, and filled with family trips across the border into Mexico – back when that was much easier to do. But she also traveled quite a bit to visit family in the Mississippi Delta, where she was inspired by her grandmother, known as Neeny, who loved to entertain. After some fun-filled years at Ole Miss, Rebecca became friends with the legendary Delta writer, Julia Reed, who believed that a Southern party should always have something good to eat—and it should never be boring. In her beautiful new book, A Screaming Blast: Exceptional Entertaining, Rebecca is anything but boring. Every page is an example of her relentless creativity, her wild imagination, and her belief that celebrating with friends and family is one of the great joys of life. She also talks about how it doesn't have to be that hard or expensive to entertain friends, especially when you know the right short cuts. Sid talks to Rebecca about the upcoming Bourbon Party they're co-hosting at the Nashville Antiques & Garden Show in January, how to survive the holidays, and why every party needs a Pied Piper.

Support the IPS https://www.paypal.me/InfinitePlaneSociety ### The Lone Furry Shooter Narrative and Social Media Control* The "lone furry shooter" is presented as the new iteration of the "lone wolf" trope.* High-profile political assassins, specifically Tyler Robinson and the Trump shooter, are being tied to the furry community.* This narrative constructs a manufactured villain for the political right by linking furries to "sex deviants and mental illness caused by leftist ideology".* The objective of this constructed villain is to secure **bipartisan agreement on social media ID** and increased regulation of online speech, citing radicalization on platforms like Discord and Reddit.* The Internet is being framed as a new "commons" threatened by "mind viruses".### Candace Owens and Conspiracy Theory Redirection* Candace Owens is described as a **"highly placed provocateur"** and the "Pied Piper of Trutherville".* Her ideological position is similar to Nick Fuentes, but she distinguishes herself by engaging in conspiracy theories (Red Pill).* Owens acts as a bridge from the "Red Pill" audience to the **"J-Pill" narrative**, which directs conspiracy theorists to the premise that Israel or Mossad controls global events.* Her relentless pursuit of "who killed Kirk" (a false flag conspiracy variant) reinforces the premise that the event was real and keeps the audience "hooked on the program's approved narratives".* She is connected to other major psyops, notably through her association with Jason Aldean, who was involved in the Harvest Festival PSYOP (Las Vegas) and the controversial "Try That in a Small Town" video.### Critique of Alternative Media and the "Off-World Stage" Perspective* The speaker criticizes figures who use Gematria and esoteric calculations to count days between events, noting they apply the **Texas sharpshooter fallacy**.* These "day counters" are suspected of being tasked with adding "noise" to media analysis, drowning out the actual signal of planned events.* The primary goal of these noise tactics is to **"eliminate man as a probable cause"** for engineered events, suggesting simulation theory, higher powers, or mystical elements instead.* The **"off-world stage perspective"** holds that politics is part of "bread and circuses" and that observers should focus their efforts away from the scripted political sphere.* The **litmus test** for adopting this perspective is recognizing that **"Nobody dies in psyops"**. Events where fatalities are reported are considered simulated magic shows.### Predictive Programming and the Meta Script* The "meta script" is the pre-written script containing fake future events that are grafted onto the historic timeline.* Evidence suggests the script for events like the Charlie Kirk shooting was planned decades ago.* Trump-esque characters in numerous movies (e.g., *Back to the Future*'s Biff Tannen, *Machete*'s Senator McLaughlin) consistently contain common denominators, specifically 9/11 references and assassination attempts, illustrating long-term predictive programming.* Filmmakers like James Cameron are identified as being connected to predictive programming, exemplified by *Avatar: The Way of Water* coinciding with global flooding narratives and the Cop City riots. ### On the Lone Furry Shooter Narrative and Media Intent* "what's the lone wolf thing? And then I see these lone wolf shooters making beasts of men. **Why are two of the high-profile political assassins tied to the furry fetish?**"* "what I'm thinking is this new version of the mass shooter **is a constructed villain for the right**".* "The agenda is to get a **bipartisan agreement on social media ID and increased regulation of speech online**".* "the leftist Antifa, that's the other part of it, **leftist Antifa satanic transfer shooter is a manufactured villain**". ### On Noise and Methodical Analysis* "They apply so many different calculators in their numerology that it's **very easy to manufacture connections**".* "what we have here is truly an example of the **texas sharpshooter fallacy**".* "The less evidence they show, the more evidence there is for a cover-up. **You see how that works?**".* "I use this term [meta script] to describe the **script that contains the fake future events that will be grafted onto the historic timeline** as we live it".

As a story about a community shattered by the disappearance of its children, Zach Cregger's WEAPONS lured us, Pied Piper-like, toward Atom Egoyan's 1997 film THE SWEET HEREAFTER, which doesn't have quite as many jump scares as Cregger's film, but makes up for it in enveloping sadness as it explores the far-reaching effects of a school bus crash on a small Canadian town. So this week we're revisiting Egoyan's film with the help of Vulture movie critic Alison Willmore, to discuss how telling this story out of order shapes both the narrative and the characterization, where certain performances help fill in blanks left by the dialogue, and what we're meant to take from the film's ending. Then, in lieu of Feedback, we're acknowledging a tough loss for the Chicago film criticism community by celebrating some of the critics and editors who helped shape it, and us. Please share your thoughts about THE SWEET HEREAFTER, WEAPONS, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.
