I generally label the first part of the monthly new release series the “friends of the show” broadcast. Looking at tonight’s folder of tunes, though, the sequel actually has more artists of that sort than part one had. As always, there’s  lengthy set recapping a ton of wonderful Rum Bar Records release. Let’s face it, thanks to their generosity and the sherr number of great records they put out every month they fit the “best friend” category. But a large portion of the show includes a number of other submitted tracks by the likes of Shortwaves, Joe Normal, mp clarke, The Rockerati, and The chrisVandalay Project. And a thumbs up to the always prolific Friends of Cesar Romero for putting out not one but three new releases this past month! There’s also some great tracks from veteran artists this month. The Black Watch just released their 25th album. 25! And this one’s a double! The Reds, Pinks and Purples contnue their jangle pop snark with The Past Is a Garden I Never Fed. There’s a four album set by Hallelujah The Hills, and the returns of The Untamed Youth and Dropkick Murphys. What is your fave new release? For more […]

Our ninth episode of Lang Fairy Tale tellings is Felicia and the Pot of Pinks - a very strange story about gossipy hens, cruel older brothers, and 'Pinks' - whatever the heck they are!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?Learn more at www.threeravenspodcast.com, join our Patreon at www.patreon.com/threeravenspodcast, and find links to our social media channels here: https://linktr.ee/threeravenspodcast Hosted on Acast.

Its Frogboy Friday, as Tobin is out again celebrating his 15 years of marriage with his beautiful wife so Leroy, Frogboy Marcos, JFIG & Vlad get you ready for this fun sports weekend. The crew discuss how we are entering the dead zone in sports. Thank god the Panthers won the Cup a second year in a row because heading into this dead time stinks. This leads into the Miami Dolphins vs Jalen Ramsey talk. Things have to be bad if Tyreek Hill is the voice of reason in this matter. They take a look at the undrafted free agents the Heat signed including former FAU Michigan center Vladislav Goldin. We wonder where the Stanley Cup is today as the NHL draft starts tonight in Los Angeles. The Panthers are not thinking of the draft and more on the chances of signing their top 3 free agents Aaron Ekblad, Brad Marchand & Bennett. In baseball the Marlins are heading to the desert on a hot streak winning 5 of their last after sweeping the San Francisco Giants in the Bay. Frogboy Marcos has the fun today with games "What the Kids Are Saying & Sports Taboo". Its a fun Friday with the Tobin & Leroy Show.

A TV5 Special.

Corrosion control is fundamental to the success of any water treatment program, but how often do we question the limitations of the tools we rely on? In this episode of Scaling UP! H2O, host Trace Blackmore welcomes back returning guest Mike Standish, Vice President of Water Additives at MFG Chemical, to explore the evolving role of maleic acid-based corrosion inhibitors in industrial water treatment. Drawing on decades of expertise, Mike shares practical insights into when — and when not — to use these innovative solutions to meet today's complex challenges. Understanding the Corrosion Control Toolbox  Mike Standish opens the conversation by reframing corrosion control strategies through the lens of a toolbox analogy. With limited primary approaches — from phosphate-based to organic and metal-based chemistries — the success of corrosion management depends on matching the right tool to the right application. Mike stresses the importance of avoiding overcomplication and focusing on the fundamental chemical pathways for mild steel protection. Organic vs. Inorganic Approaches  The discussion turns to the critical differences between organic and inorganic inhibitors. While inorganic phosphates remain cost-effective mainstays, organic phosphonates, including maleic acid-derived materials, offer advantages in high pH, high hardness, and oxidizing environments. Mike emphasizes that “organic” in water treatment bears no relation to natural or sustainable products, a frequent misconception among newcomers to the industry. Why Maleic Acid-Based Inhibitors Matter  Maleic acid phosphonates distinguish themselves with exceptional oxidant stability, a feature increasingly necessary as continuous halogenation becomes standard practice. Mike explains the chemistry behind maleic acid derivatives and how the ability to tailor molecular structures creates flexibility for specific field conditions — such as scaling tendencies, pH control, and calcium carbonate formation risks. Best Practices for Application and Measurement  Field success with maleic acid-based inhibitors hinges on proper dosage and testing. Mike shares lessons from real-world trials, emphasizing that underfeeding is a common mistake that compromises corrosion rates. Accurate differentiation between orthophosphate and phosphonate concentrations is vital for precise monitoring, and bench testing must closely simulate real-world surface-to-volume ratios to yield reliable predictions. The Future of Corrosion Control  In a forward-looking discussion, Mike predicts that industry consolidation will trigger a second wave of entrepreneurial water treatment companies. His vision underscores the ongoing need for technical excellence, adaptability, and innovation in corrosion management practices as the industry evolves.  This episode challenges water treatment professionals to rethink their corrosion strategies with a sharper, more informed approach. Maleic acid-based inhibitors are not a universal solution, but when applied thoughtfully, they offer powerful advantages for specific operational demands.   Explore more episodes, challenge your assumptions, and lead the way in advancing our industry's standards of technical excellence.

"Scaling is like debt—it's always better to prevent it than to clean it up later." Phosphate plays a crucial role in Industrial Water Treatment, yet it remains one of the most misunderstood chemicals. In this Pinks and Blues episode, Trace Blackmore revisits phosphate chemistry and its application in cooling systems, corrosion prevention, and scale inhibition. Breaking Down Phosphate Chemistry Phosphate exists in different forms, each with specific applications in water treatment.  Orthophosphate (PO4³⁻): The simplest and most reactive form, used for corrosion inhibition.  Polyphosphate: A longer chain of phosphate molecules that can hydrolyze into orthophosphate.  Organic Phosphates: Phosphate compounds bonded with organic molecules, often used in scale inhibition.  Total Phosphate: A combination of all phosphate types in a system.  Phosphate Testing – What Every Water Pro Should Know Phosphate levels must be carefully monitored to maintain system integrity. Trace explains:  Why the orthophosphate test is the most reliable for phosphate analysis.  How to convert different phosphate forms to orthophosphate for testing.  The difference between the Molybdate Vanadate Method (yellow test) and the Ascorbic Acid Method (blue test).  The importance of accurate dilution and testing procedures to prevent measurement errors. Challenges and Considerations in Phosphate Treatment  Biological Growth: Phosphate serves as a nutrient, promoting microbial growth if not controlled properly.  Environmental Regulations: Certain facilities may have phosphate discharge limits.  Calcium Phosphate Scaling: High temperatures and improper phosphate dosages can cause severe scaling issues. Best Practices for Phosphate Management  Monitor carbon and alkalinity levels to determine the best phosphate formulation.  Use stability indices (e.g., Ryzner Stability Index, Langelier Saturation Index) to predict scale formation.  Adjust treatment strategies based on pH levels and system conditions to avoid unintended scale buildup.  Always verify environmental discharge limits when using phosphate-based treatments. Mastering phosphate chemistry and testing techniques ensures better system performance, cost efficiency, and regulatory compliance. This episode empowers water professionals to optimize their approach to phosphate-based treatments. Tune in to learn practical strategies for optimizing phosphate levels, preventing scale, and ensuring system efficiency.

Moran & Michael Lennington Drop by Drop with James In today's episode, I have a challenge for you. The challenge is…check your safety equipment. Seriously, check the condition as well as any expiration dates. I personally was shocked to find out that hard hats have an expiration date on them, but they do. It does make sense, though, because plastic can get brittle over time, especially sitting in a hot vehicle. Brittle plastic probably won't protect your noggin as well as it should. Are your safety glasses all scratched up or dirty? Do they obstruct your view? Do you wear your earplugs more than once, and do they need to be replaced? How about your steel-toed shoes, face shields, aprons, gloves, and other safety equipment? Will they protect you when you need them to? Take this challenge as your excuse to inspect them all and replace them as needed. Your family, friends, colleagues, Trace, and I all want you to be safe as you practice the noble profession of industrial water treatment!  Events for Water Professionals Check out our Scaling UP!

As you stand in front of it, you may see the handholes and manholes opened. The room may be much quieter than normal because the burners and air blowers aren't running. It may be a firetube or water tube boiler. The inspection will be different between the two, with several commonalities as well. Before you start your inspection, what should you do? Have you spoken to the operators in the area? Have you followed proper safety protocols for confined space entry, lockout/tagout, etc.? Do you feel safe entering the boiler? Do you know the history of the boiler before going in? Does this history of water treatment and boiler performance allow you to predict what you will see inside the boiler? How will you document what you find? How will you collect any samples, if necessary? How dirty will you get? Do you know the equipment you will see inside the boiler, such as steam-water separators, baffle plates, downcomers, feedwater piping, etc.? What do you expect the water line to look like? Where will oxygen pitting or hard water scaling first show up in the boiler if there was a problem? Will you be inspecting the deaerator as well? How long will it take you to get the boiler inspection report to your client? Doing a proper boiler inspection takes time, experience, knowledge, attention to detail, and often agility.   Events for Water Professionals  Check out our Scaling UP!

It's Cooling Wednesday, and today we're spotlighting the essential systems that keep industrial processes and HVAC systems running smoothly—cooling towers, chillers, heat exchangers—and the dedicated professionals who keep them in top shape. We all know how crucial cooling towers are for removing heat from a building's process, but did you know there's more to the story? Cooling towers circulate water from a heat source, cooling it down by dropping it through the tower before returning it to the system. But what about fluid coolers and evaporative condensers? Fluid coolers use a tube bundle to keep inside, and outside water separate, while evaporative condensers use refrigerants like ammonia to tackle the heat. Today's special guest, Loraine Huchler, President of Martech Systems, joins us to share a crucial reminder: "Monitoring and managing biofilm will automatically decrease your risk of Legionella and Legionellosis infections—not just in cooling water, but even in building water." Learn how to keep your cooling systems safe from Legionella by visiting our free Legionella Resources page, where you can find past episodes, articles, and the latest legislation updates. Whether you're treating a cooling tower, chiller, or heat exchanger, snap a photo of your system today and post it using the tags #IWW24 and #IndustrialWaterWeek. Let's celebrate Cooling Wednesday together and keep the conversation flowing!

Breathe, And let warmth and comfort Wrap around you. LONG PAUSE Imagine pushing the pause button, and holding precious  this time of rest and peace. Stay with it. LONG PAUSE And while holding onto  to this precious rest and peace, imagine a magical portal opening before you. PAUSE As you gaze at the portal, you realize it's beckoning you to come into it, to take a journey. And with absolute comfort and security, you venture forth into the portal. PAUSE While in the portal, beautiful colored lights illuminate all around you. Reds and Pinks, Greens and Yellows, Blues and Purples, all twinkle like stars on each side of you. PAUSE After a few moments, the lights clear, and you find yourself  in an art room with crayons  and pictures to color. PAUSE Without a thought, you pick up a crayon and begin coloring  an image of a mandala. With each gentle stroke, a wave of peace and relaxation washes over you. And with it comes a sense of connectedness to something bigger. PAUSE After a few moments, the mandala rises into the air and begins spinning. All the magical colors spill into the air, spreading deeper peace and relaxation everywhere. Seconds later, you find yourself  back in the portal. PAUSE The beautiful lights sparkle again, and then fade as you find yourself in a room lit with candles. PAUSE You land gently in a chair, and begin gazing  into the soft, gauzy flicker of a large white candle. With each breath, a calm and connectedness to Spirit come over you. You are part of the Infinite. PAUSE As you bask in the infinite peace, you feel yourself going on and on and on in total calm and comfort, total relaxation. PAUSE Slowly, the lights of the portal return, and you feel yourself gently being moved to somewhere else. PAUSE Moments later, you're standing on a beach at midnight, with a stunning blue moon hanging low in the sky, and waves that wash against the shore, in a hypnotic rhythm. Millions of stars twinkle above you. PAUSE And now, you feel yourself a part of everything. You feel the sea in you, and you in the sea. You feel the moonlight in you, and you in the moonlight. You feel the stars in you, and you in the stars. Everything is a part of you. You are part of everything. It's a multi-dimensional feeling of peace and wonder. PAUSE The twinkling lights of the portal return, and this time, the portal takes you home  to your bed, with a steaming cup of tea and a fluffy pillow behind you. PAUSE As you sit sipping tea, you look around, and nothing is the same. Nothing is separate from you. It is all connected energy. And, as you finish your tea, and sink deep into your bed, there is only peace in and around you. A calm, relaxing peace that you carry everywhere. NAMASTE, BEAUTIFUL

This week on Flightless Bird, David Farrier dives headfirst into one of America's favorite foods, the humble hot dog. He learns that Americans eat around 20 billion hot dogs a year, which means the average American eats about 70 hot dogs per year. Why? How did this simple food get so popular here? To understand, Farrier decides to talk to the National Hot Dog & Sausage Council. Eric Mittenthal picks up and answers some of Farrier's burning questions. David then takes foodie and Flightless Bird producer Rob Holysz out to eat some hot dogs - first at the iconic LA joint Pinks, and then to the very niche Wurstküche in the Arts District. There David and Rob dine on rabbit, buffalo, and rattlesnake. They also set out to answer the burning question: “Is a hotdog a sandwich?” Learn more about your ad choices.
