Podcasts about pied piper

This week in our summer series featuring old-time radio appearances by actors who later played killers on Columbo, we spotlight Roddy McDowall. McDowall stars as young Ronnie Cavanaugh in a radio adaptation of The Pied Piper, the story of an elderly Englishman who reluctantly becomes the protector of a growing band of refugee children as…

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? Nicholas Tochka is Associate Professor of Music (Ethnomusicology) at the University of Melbourne, Australia, and the author of several books including Rocking In the Free World: Music and the Politics of Freedom in Postwar America and Audible States: Socialist Politics and Popular Music in Albania. His work examines the politics of music-making in the postwar world.

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

Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we complete our series on The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. 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. Games, people, and influences mentioned or discussed: SW: Starfighter, Jesse Moore, Dark Souls, Unreal, Outer Wilds, Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine, Groundhog Day, CalamityNolan, Baldur's Gate III, The Matrix, Spider-Man 2, Hollow Knight, Blizzard Studios, Metroid/Castlevania, Robert Browning, Dwarf Fortress, Kirk Hamilton, Aaron Evers, Mark Garcia.

Hey y'all, Alex here, let me catch you up!Jensen Huang went on Lex and said AGI has been achieved. We'll get to that.The biggest demo moment: Gemini 3.1 Flash Live launched - Google's omni model that sees, hears, and searches the web in real time. We tested it live and I said “what the f**k” on air. It was really impressive!Google Research also dropped TurboQuant (6x KV cache compression) which crashed Samsung and Micron stocks - we had Daniel Han from UnSloth help us make sense of why that's overblown. OpenAI killed Sora - the app, the API, and the $1B Disney deal. Claude felt noticeably dumber this week AND max account quotas are melting as 500+ people confirmed on my X and Reddit. We have an official word from Anthropic as to why. Mistral launched Voxtral TTS (open weight, claims to beat ElevenLabs), Cohere shipped an ASR model, and Google's Lyria 3 Pro now generates full 3-minute music tracks inside Producer AI.This and a lot more in today's episode, let's dive in (as always, show notes and links in the end!) ThursdAI - Let me catch you up! Gemini 3.1 Flash Live: The Real-Time AI Companion Is HereGoogle dropped a breaking news on the show today, with Gemini 3.1 Flash - LIVE version. This one is an omni-model, that means it can receive text/audio/video on input and respond in text and voice. It has Google search grounding, and it felt... immediate! I was blown away, really, check out the video, the speed with which it was able to “see” me, respond to my query, look up something on the web, was mind blowing. I don't often get “mind blown” anymore, there's just too many news, but this one did the trick! With the pricing being around 10x cheaper than GPT-real-time, and the Google search grounding being super fast, I can absolutely see this model being hooked up to... robots (like ReachyMini), SmartGlasses that can see what you see, and a bunch more! Gemini Live is available on Google AI studio and has been rolled out globally inside the Google Search app! So now when you pull up the Google Search app, just open it and point at anything. Truly a remarkable advancement.Google research publishes TurboQuant - 6x reduction in KV cache with 0 accuracy lossGoogle research posted some work (based on an Arxiv paper from almost a year ago) that shows that with geometry tricks, combining two other techniques like PolarQuant and QJL, they are able to compress the KV cache of running LLMs by nearly 6x, and show an 8X speed up for model inference with zero accuracy loss. If you ever watched silicon valley the HBO show, this sounds like the fictional middle-out algorithm from PiedPiper. If this scales (and that's a big if, we don't know if this applies to other, bigger models yet), this means significant decreases in memory requirements to run the current crop of LLMs for longer context. The claim is big, so we'll continue to monitor if this indeed scales, but the most interesting thing about this piece of news is, that it broke the AI bubble and went to wall street, with finance brows deciding that this means that memory will not be needed as much any more and it tanked Samsung and Micron stocks. Which I found particularly ridiculous on the show, did they not hear about Jevons Paradox? This is reminiscent of the DeepSeek R1 saga that tanked Nvidia stocks over a year ago. Daniel Han from Unsloth, who joined us on the show, pointed out that the approach is mathematically interesting even if it's not necessarily better than existing open-source techniques like DeepSeek MLA. LDJ noted that the baseline comparison (16-bit KV cache) isn't really fair since most production systems are already compressing beyond that. Yam implemented it himself and confirmed the speedups are real, but so is the trade-off.Anthropic updates: Opus dumber? Quotas lower! Injunction won! Computer.. used. Anthropic folks, especially on the Claude code side are shipping like crazy, we won't be able to cover all the updates, but there was a few notable things I have to keep you up to date on. Claude Opus seems to be getting “dumber”, againI have to talk about this because it affected my work directly this week and hundreds of people confirmed the same experience.I use Claude Opus for my standard ThursdAI prep workflow — generating the TL;DR with 10 bullet points and an executive summary for every topic we cover, creating episode pages, etc. The format has not changed for over a year and yet this week I asked for 10 factoids. I got 4. It says “10” right there in the prompt. Four bullet points. On the website builder, I've asked Opus to create a page for last weeks episode, and instead of adding it to the other episode, Opus decided to ... replace the last episode with this one. This would be funny if it wasn't sad. This is Opus 4.6 we're talking about, not some quantized open source LLM from last year! The reason is unclear, and it's not only me, Wolfram noticed that it's easier to see these types of things in other languages and that for the last week Opus would forget to add Umlauts in German!? and Yam also felt it. Pro/Max plan quotas burning up, Anthropic confirmed that they are tightening them for “peak hour” usageThis week, so many people started posting that something is wrong with their Claude Codes, I did a survey, and it blew up. Hundreds of people replied and confirmed that for the first week, they are hitting their session quotas on Pro and 20x $200/mo MAX accounts much much quicker than before. When I say much quicker, I mean, some fokls have hit the quota in as little as 5 minutes. While some others had no issues. I personally btw did not have this. A few days later, Thariq from the Claude code team, and later an official post, confirmed that Anthropic had been rolling out a “tightening” of the Pro/Max accounts to accomodate for growth. This is of course, a huge bummer to the folks who pay $200/mo for the 20x max tier, as they tend to run agents and subagents overnight. But here's the thing, I don't think that folks from Anthropic see what we see, some folks got no issues with hitting quota, and some are barely able to use their subscription. I hope that they will find and resolve these bugs quick, because some folks are switching to Codex, and the Anthropic IPO is coming up! I will say, I don't envy Thariq's job, he's doing it gracefully, and maybe one of the only ones in Anthropic that does it at all. Judge granted Anthropic an injunction against DoW and the whole “Supply chain risk” designation!Just in as I'm writing this, a district judge in CA, granted Anthropic an injunction against being designated as a supply-chain-risk company. If you haven't been following, the US Department of War, specifically Pete Hegseth, threatened and then designated Anthropic as a supply chain risk company, while us president Trump “fired” Anthropic and banned its use in any gov agencies. Well, no so fast says Judge Lin, from CA District court. In this Order, she shows that Dept. of war didn't meet any legal requirements for this designation. It's really a fascinating read, but the highligth is this: When asked why Hegseth made a public statementthat had no legal effect and that did not reflect the immediate intent of DoW, counsel stated, “I don't know.”This is just the first court and will likely be escalated further up the judicial system. This is still developing and apparently the Pentagon declared Anthropic a supply chain risk under two different statutes, and this only affects one of them. So while it's good news, it's not over yet. Voice & Audio Explosion: Three Releases in One HourI had to hit the breaking news button mid-TLDR because three major voice releases dropped simultaneously during the show.Mistral Voxtral TTS — Mistral's first text-to-speech model, 3 billion parameters, open weight. They claim it beats ElevenLabs Flash v2.5 in human preference tests (58% win rate on flagship voices, 68% on zero-shot voice cloning). We tested it live on the show — it's decent, with emotion controls for neutral, happy, and frustrated voices. I was not super impressed tbh, it sits somewhere between the very good big labs TTS and the very small open source 82M param TTS. Cohere Transcribe — Cohere enters the ASR game with a 2 billion parameter open-source model (Apache 2.0!) that immediately grabbed the #1 spot on HuggingFace's Open ASR Leaderboard with a 5.42% word error rate, beating Whisper Large v3's 7.44%. In human evaluations, it wins 61% of the time on average, and 64% specifically against Whisper. For anyone in regulated industries needing local inference for compliance, this could genuinely replace Whisper as the default.Google Lyria 3 Pro — Google's most advanced music model is here.It can now generate full 3-minute tracks with structural control — intros, verses, choruses, bridges. We generated a ThursdAI opening theme live on the show using Producer AI, and it was... honestly not bad? It followed our instructions perfectly: drum and bass, 174 BPM, high energy podcast opener with vocals and introduction. The instruction-following was spot on. Nisten said it's the best music generation model right now. It's available to Gemini subscribers and via Producer AI and gemini, and it can even compose music from images. SynthID watermarked, royalty-free. We might actually use one of the generated tracks as a new show opener.The craziest thing is, since Google acquired Composer, the team has been shipping. I only generated the audio during the live show, but now went back there to download it for you guys, and whoah, it can now generate whole clips by using other Google tech, this is really cool! OpenAI kills SORA (and Atlas?)Last week we reported on about OpenAI's focus shift towards Codex and productivity, and this week we see the first casualty. OpenAI is killing SORA, the app, the Sora 2 and Sora 2 pro models and APIs. Many AI haters are celebrating this as through “ai videos” is dead, but honestly, this is obviously about the GPU power and the other things OpenAI needs to do to win the fight against Anthropic. OpenAI is also apparently going to IPO this year (like Anthropic) and they absolutely need to win the productivity/agents in enterprise market. As part of this shut down, the Disney + OpenAI partnership, is also dissolving, and Disney will no longer invest 1B into OpenAI.So, say bye bye to having digital selfies with Sam Altman. I've generated this SORA vid to hear from Sam himself: Atlas browser, OpenAI's native browser endeavor is supposedly also going to transform, together with Codex and OpenAI native app into one super app that includes all three according to the same memo. AGI is here according to Jensen, AGI is far away, according to ARC-AGI-3 The back to back this week can give anyone whiplash. First, Lex Friedman had Jensen Huang on the podcast, and asked him a very specific “WhenAGI” question, to which Jensen said “I believe it's already here” Then just a few short days layer, ArcPrize, released the 3rd version of Arc-AGI, Arc-AGI 3 a series of puzzle games, where humans get 100% pass-rate and the current LLM, top tier frontier LLMs, are getting less than 1%! It's an interactive, agentic reasoning benchmark designed to test human-like generalization and intelligence in novel, abstract, turn-based environments.The puzzles all look simple enough to do, and are actually fun, and while the wild claims of “AGI is not here yet” from the ArcPrize folks are quite interesting. The stated goal of the foudation is to release evaluations that are completely un-saturated, and this seems like one such thing at first glance. There's a bit of a debate in the community about the way Arc Prize went about this specific benchmark (no harnesses, raw LLM outputs), saying that humans got a “game” while the LLMs get just raw JSON and minimal and no extra tools. For context, a agentic harness startup claims to have solved 35% already of the games in ArcAGI, but that result is unverified and self reported, becuase they are an agentic harness, which ArcAGI apparently disqualifies. AI Art and DiffusionI wanted to finish but I think these are important releases so I'll include them briefly. Luma Labs Uni-1 — thinks and generates pixels simultaneously, #1 human preference Elo (X, Announcement)This was a surprising release, we previously seen Luma Labs do video, but this time they are posting their Uni-1 which is a… image model but it's based on an LLM, so you talk to it, iterate together until you get results. Yes, Nano Banana via AI studio is kind of like this as well ,but Uni feels a bit different. It can also generate infographics, which I haven't tried yet. You can try Uni herePhota Labs launches Phota Studio + API — a photography-focused image model with identity-preserving personalization (X, try it)There's tons of photo startups, but this one looks kind of crazy! You upload a bunch of your pictures, they train a “model” for you, and then you can create a whole bunch of images, and they do actually resemble you. Yes, Nano Banana can take a few reference pictures, but this somehow seems more accurate! You can create professional photos, fix photos you like, add others to your photos. I do feel there's a jump in capabilities here, specifically because of the personalization! Give them a try if you're not worried about them training on your pics and let me know.Modular made Flux.2 run in

What do you think the Pied Piper is? Pied Piper, people were fooled thinking they're, hey, they're on my side, and they just follow them blindly right over the cliff. I'm not blind to anybody. I'm looking for flaws, that we should not be deceived.

Known for creating extraordinary worlds filled with unforgettable creatures and heroes, Jared now brings that same boundless imagination into children's literature.His book, “Fernie MertBert, Come Join Our Family!”, is a whimsical yet slightly spooky reimagining of The Pied Piper of Hamelin — blending adventure, fantasy, and a heartfelt message about belonging and the true meaning of family.Request all of you to listen to this show and share your views or if you have any topics or any thoughts about my podcast write to me at somathakur@gmail.com and follow me on Instagram @somathakur.mothercoach for more updates. Support the showSoma ThakurMotherhood Coach, Lifestyle Educator & Mentorwww.somathakur.com

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.
folks that's this batch of films and we will see ya next time. Please drop us a review, and thanks for listening.

Sadly, much of the world is being led by the Pied Piper of technology. Not that technology is bad, but allowing technology to run your life is one of the greatest dangers we face. Couple that with the so-called “conservatives” who are really charlatans on radio, TV, podcasts, and videos, and we have a significant number of people being led astray.

There's Mother Goose and her literal live goose wearing a bow; Little Bo Peep, who everyone in town wants to make their child bride; Tom Tom, who's apparently NOT Peter Pan and is instead the Pied Piper(!?); The Three Little Pigs who WILL give you nightmares; and the rest of the nightmare infused characters!

Released in 1934, it was originally titled "Babes in Toyland" and stars Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy.

We take your calls on the Mets and such. Plus, Gio says when it comes to the old Mets or Jets fan, Joe is their voice. That's the nicer way of putting it.

We dive back into the Mets firestorm fueled by Pete Alonso signing with the Orioles! Gio calls Joe Benigno the "Pied Piper of the Neanderthal Mets fan". Plus, Jerry's final update covers a speechless Keith Hernandez, the Falcons vs. Bucs kicking off the NFL week tonight, and the lingering mystery of whether Philip Rivers will start for the Colts this weekend.

Today we're bringing you the first in a series of interviews John did with personalities who were instrumental in the great old time radio revival of the 1970s and beyond. John sat down with Harvey Tow (better known to L.A. radio fans as Cousin Zeno) for a look back at his decades in vintage radio. Harvey talks about getting his start as a collector in the mid-'60s, hosting on stations like KCSN Northridge through the '70s and '80s, and how he managed to rescue a set of Lux Radio Theatre rehearsal discs straight from a former engineer. One of those recordings, The Pied Piper starring Frank Morgan, is featured in this episode. Along the way, Harvey shares memories of meeting legends like Bill Conrad and Roddy McDowall.

Episode 9: "My Word, Doesn't He Look Fat and Pompous!" - Classic Doctor Who Comics: The Challenge of the Piper - Patreon Exclusive COMIC STRIP REVIEW: "The Challenge of the Piper" (June 14 - July 12, 1965) TV Comic, Five Parts Writer/Artist: Neville Main The First Doctor, John, and Jillian arrive in medieval Hamelin during the legendary Pied Piper crisis. After the townspeople refuse to pay the Piper for ridding them of rats, he lures away their children. The Doctor sympathizes with the wronged musician and undertakes three trials to win the children's freedom, using 1960s technology disguised as "magic" - fire extinguisher, radar, parachute, and tape recorder. When the Mayor still refuses payment, the Doctor threatens to return the children to the Piper unless he honors the debt! The hosts mourn that both grandchildren function as mere Greek chorus, giving the Doctor someone to talk to beyond himself. Where/When Are We? - The hosts debate ontological questions: Is this the actual legendary event on Earth's past? An alien world duplicating the tale? A fantasy realm? They conclude it's meant as the origin of the Hamelin legend, but fantasy elements (dragon, invisibility, mesmerizing flute magic) blur the science-fiction/fantasy boundary. LOOKING AHEAD: Next strips: "The Moon Landing" (premiering space race before real 1969 landing!), "Prisoner of the Grittog" (Doctor Who Summer Special), and "The Penta Ray Factor" (Daleks return!)

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.

In 1960s Tucson, a five-foot-three man named Charles Schmid built himself out of tin cans, axle grease, and lies. He called himself “Smitty,” the Pied Piper of Speedway Boulevard—part Elvis, part devil, and all performance. But when the mask slipped, the city discovered what he'd really built: a cult of personality, a trail of bodies, and one of the strangest intersections of true crime and American myth. www.hauntedamericanhistory.comBarnes and Noble -   https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-forgotten-borough-christopher-feinstein/1148274794?ean=9798319693334AMAZON: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FQPQD68SEbookGOOGLE: https://play.google.com/store/books/details?id=S5WCEQAAQBAJ&pli=1KOBO: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/the-forgotten-borough-2?sId=a10cf8af-5fbd-475e-97c4-76966ec87994&ssId=DX3jihH_5_2bUeP1xoje_SMASHWORD: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/1853316 !!

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".

Charles Howard Schmid Jr., known as “The Pied Piper of Tucson,” was an American serial killer whose crimes shocked Arizona in the mid-1960s. Born in 1942 and raised in Tucson, Schmid cultivated an eccentric persona—wearing makeup, dyeing his hair jet-black, stuffing his boots to appear taller, and imitating Elvis Presley. Charismatic to many teenagers yet … Continue reading Episode 481: Charles Schmid – The Pied Piper of Tucson

The finale of HBO's Silicon Valley series pointed up a subtle parallel to the real-world challenges in vulnerability reporting—rather than risk going to jail, Pied Piper chose to burn the company to the ground. For decades, white hat and gray hat hackers had no place to report cybersecurity flaws without fear of legal hassles. Nowadays we have Bug Bounty programs, where hackers get paid to find and disclose security flaws, and even get some cash for their work.ResourcesInternet Scanner Finds Security HolesCERIAS - Center for Education and Research in Information Assurance and SecurityA history of bug bounty programs & incentivised vulnerability disclosureWearing Many Hats: The Rise of the Professional Security HackerHacking the PentagonSend us a textSupport the showJoin our Patreon to listen ad-free!

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.
