Seven global approvals in five years, validated biomarkers and FDA flexibility have turned IgA nephropathy from a neglected rare disease into a crowded field, with Biogen, Novartis, Takeda, Climb Bio and Jade chasing targets such as APRIL, BAFF and CD38. On the latest BioCentury This Week podcast, BioCentury's analysts assess how next-generation therapies are competing on safety and longer dosing intervals.The analysts also discuss Heidi Overton's FDA commissioner confirmation hearing and lingering questions about her independence, new pharma tariff guidance that leaves exemptions unclear, and how reverse mergers paired with nine-figure PIPEs became a viable IPO alternative. Plus, Merck's $400 million upfront bet on a preclinical KRAS G12C molecular glue.View full story: https://www.biocentury.com/article/660935#IgANephropathy #FDA #BiotechIPO #DrugDevelopment #ClinicalTrials0:00 Introduction1:30 Grand Rounds: Europe Recap6:03 IgA Nephropathy Pipeline14:57 Overton Hearing22:19 Commerce's Tariff Guidance24:28 Reverse Mergers' New LookTo submit a question to BioCentury's editors, email the BioCentury This Week team at podcasts@biocentury.com.Reach us by sending a text

A weekly news show informing you on the latest in Bitcoin, privacy and open source tech, hosted by Ungovernables, Max and Q.AOBMax: flooded the downstairs after leaving a sink running over the weekend, spent Saturday ripping out old timber and clutter he'd been meaning to clear out anyway, then a full kids' day that left them sick afterwardsQ: spent the weekend building his own local, voice-controlled AI assistant after watching the new Spider-Man filmQ: read this week's letter #7 from Keone, "Notes from the Inside", posted on The Rage -- a tough one on conditions moving between facilities; audio version out later this week, timed with Rick's Free Samurai prize drawQ: enjoyed last week's Freedom Tech Friday listener questions episode, ranging from Bitcoin to Monero to privacy, multisig and local AINEWSResearch lab [alloc] init, founded by Misha Komarov with Clara Shikhelman as Head of Protocol Research, published Shielded Bitcoin, a proposal for Zcash-style private transfers needing no soft fork; shielded transactions are encrypted data blobs carried in OP_RETURN or witness data that Bitcoin only orders and timestamps, while separate indexer software checks zero-knowledge proofs and stops double-spends; value sits in encrypted "notes" spent by publishing a one-time nullifier that proves the spend without revealing which note it is; the peg moving real BTC in and out isn't designed yet and rests on an unproven witness-encryption scheme called PIPEs v2; CoinDesk reports fees around 4x normal, a trusted setup and no launch date -- Bitcoin Magazine, CoinDesk, allocinitBlockstream published its own post-mortem of the 6 September Liquid exploit: a rangeproof-cache flaw dating to April 2018 ("Bug A"), responsibly disclosed 2 August and patched by 11 August, introduced a second flaw ("Bug B") where unprefixed cache keys let two different proofs collide; the attacker used it to mint about 4,000 unbacked LBTC and peg out 3,996 BTC through SideSwap, draining the reserve from about 4,205 BTC to 197 BTC; 3,400 BTC was returned and the network resumed 9-10 September, but about 602 BTC remains with the attacker and peg-outs stay paused with no date; the 11-of-15 federation multisig worked exactly as designed, the failure was in the software deciding what counted as a valid transaction -- BlockstreamBitget detected unauthorised transfers from its hot and warm wallets at 18:31 UTC on 24 September and froze withdrawals platform-wide; CEO Gracy Chen says the attacker compromised a backend system, spoofed transaction data and triggered Bitget's own approval process, with private key compromise ruled out; the loss was revised from $351.6M to about $387.5M once Zcash and TRON assets were counted, mostly ETH, TRX and USDT with no bitcoin taken; Circle and Tether froze about $318K, while roughly $83M in native XRP moved beyond Ripple's power to freeze; North Korea attribution comes from Bitget, Elliptic and MetaMask's Taylor Monahan, not yet from any government; Bitget says its User Protection Fund covers the loss and is reopening withdrawals in phases from 28 September -- CoinDesk, TFTC, Bitcoin Magazine, CoinDesk (freezes), CoinDesk (XRP), BitgetAMLBot traced part of the Bitget haul from TRX to USDT, bridged to Ethereum, swapped to about 145 ETH, then through THORChain into about 4.59 BTC, with roughly 4 BTC of that linked to an unnamed Wasabi coinjoin round and the addresses "blacklisted"; most of the stolen funds have not moved -- AMLBot on X, crypto.newsMatt Morehouse disclosed two denial-of-service bugs in Eclair v0.13.1 and earlier, fixed in v0.14.0: oversized feature-bit init messages could allocate about 300MB per message and crash a node, and zlib-compressed channel queries could inflate 64KB into 64MB; his smite fuzzer found the first, an LLM-assisted search for similar code patterns found the second -- Delving BitcoinLightning Labs published four security advisories: a High-rated bug let an invoice be marked settled after an interceptor had already cancelled the HTLC, affecting tapd 0.5.0 and earlier and lnd 0.18.4 to 0.18.5; three Low-rated DoS bugs covered a gossip stall, a panic on a malformed DNS seed response, and memory exhaustion from Brontide write allocations; nodes on current lnd (0.21.3 or 0.20.4) are unaffected -- Lightning Labs securityGalaxy's Alex Thorn disclosed that 52.37 BTC from weak-entropy Coldcard addresses, about 2.8% of the total taken and roughly $4.5M, had been moved into an address belonging to a Wyoming "Crypto Recovery Trust" carrying an OP_RETURN reading "claim:cryptorecoverytrust.com"; the trust says owners can reclaim coins by proving control, but the white-hats are unnamed and its legal documents are unverified -- CoinDeskSEC Commissioner Hester Peirce announced she resigns effective 2 October after nearly nine years to join Regent University School of Law, leaving the SEC with two Republican commissioners and no replacement nominee named; two days earlier, at SIFMA's Digital Assets Conference, she argued for replacing KYC document collection with zero-knowledge proofs and attribute-based credentials, telling regulators "we build ever bigger data haystacks on the theory that we will find a needle or two inside" -- CoinDesk, TFTC, TFTC (speech)New York Attorney General Letitia James and Governor Kathy Hochul sued Polymarket US in state court on 24 September alleging unlicensed gambling and underage betting, seeking at least $4.6B in fines; Polymarket moved the case to federal court and countersued, arguing the Commodity Exchange Act gives the CFTC exclusive authority; the next day a unanimous Sixth Circuit panel ruled Kalshi's sports contracts are subject to state gambling law, splitting with the Third Circuit and making a Supreme Court case more likely -- CoinDesk, CNBC, CoinDesk (Kalshi)BitMEX stopped trading, deposits and new positions at 04:00 UTC on 23 September after 11 years, with API withdrawals ending 28 September and website withdrawals staying open; from 1 October verified accounts with a balance pay the greater of 1% a year or $50 a month; owner HDR Global Trading cites a strategic review, with no legal or regulatory issues behind the closure -- CoinDeskThe x402 protocol, reviving HTTP 402 "Payment Required" for machine payments, merged Ben Carman's spec for paying with Lightning: the server issues a BOLT11 invoice whose description hash commits to the exact request, the client pays and returns the preimage, and the facilitator checks it against the payment hash and invoice signer without querying the receiver's node -- GitHub PR #2861RELEASESAm I Exposed v0.36.0 -- 2026-09-26Detects Whirlpool tx0 premix outputs and Wasabi 1.x coinjoins it previously missed or misgraded, and flags input-side address reuse as a leak instead of scoring it as good.Jam v2.0.0-beta.4 -- 2026-09-24Fourth beta of the JoinMarket web UI: adds Sign Message, pins the exact UTXOs shown when sweeping, and lets you freeze or unfreeze several UTXOs at once.Shhark v0.8.1-shhark-preview.5 -- 2026-09-12A self-hosted, privacy-focused Ark wallet preview adding optional Payjoin v2 on Signet, Tor-only networking that fails closed, Silent Payments and experimental post-quantum messaging.ZEUS v13.2.2 -- 2026-09-23Stable release embedding LND v0.21.3 with SATS Routing and Coinos as swap providers, plus a critical fix moving iOS wallet data out of iCloud-synced Keychain.Blockstream Green Android 5.7.0 -- 2026-09-24Adds manual coin selection filters, transaction notes and a price chart, and restores 2-of-2 and 2-of-3 multisig account creation.umbrelOS 2.0.0 -- 2026-09-22Stable release of Umbrel's home-server OS adding a Photos app, multiple user accounts, virtual machines, FailSafe RAID storage and a redesigned App Store.SignerOS v1.3.0 -- 2026-09-23Fixes a bug where one valid input in a multi-input transaction could make a fake change output look legitimate;

What do you get when you mix a fractured and vulnerable post-war society with a master criminal bent on mind-control and an altruistic state prosecutor desperate to clean up the streets? Norbert Jacques' "Dr Mabuse", that's what! The psychological thriller that took Germany by storm in the early 20th century is up for discussion in this episode. First translated into English by Lilian Claire in 1923, our review concentrates on the Carrier translation from 2026. From sweeping set-pieces to convoluted fever-dream prose, we ponder all the mysteries here in our first Autumn read of the season. FastFacts@11:00; Summary@30:30; PIPES@58:30

Sarah Shorter emailed: "Hi Mark I use podcast addict. A couple of weeks ago episodes 678ish to current dropped off the feed. I'm still getting new ones and I'm downloading the protest songs now. But I thought it might need bringing to your attention." Patrick Rieger sent St Patrick's Day Feedback from 2026: "Hi Marc, My family and I marched in Pittsburgh's Saint Patrick's Day Parade again but this time for one of our other activities, representing the Amateur Astronomers Association of Pittsburgh. We were joined by three other members of the club. As far as I know, this is the first time in its 97 year history the club was represented in the parade, which itself started in 1869. The parade celebrates Saint Patrick and the Irish, but also Pittsburgh and its people, and the club is part of that. The parade started at 10AM but since we were near the back, we didn't start moving until 11:30, so we had time to talk with other participants.. I love the variety of groups in the parade, One of our members brought a small telescope with a Sun filter so we could safely show people the Sun while we waited. The Saturday Light Brigade radio program likes to hear from people at the parade so I gave them a call. Here are some photos. Yes, that is someone dressed as a pierogi on a scooter, pierogies are big in Pittsburgh. My wife and I carried the banner. It was a joy to be in the parade again, and I hope the club is willing for us to do it again next year. We didn't go to any celebrations, they would be too crowded and too crazy. We went to one of our observatories where people brought games and snacked on pizza instead. I'll get back to the pub after the holiday." John L Pearson emailed about the Celtic Protest Songs episode: "Marc, I've been listening forever and have written you a couple other times over the years. I had to write and thank you for this great and necessary episode. Not only a necessary idea and thing to do in our current moment, but beautifully done. Great selection of songs, and I love the history and commentary you wove into the episode. I'm sure you'll get some feedback complaining that you shouldn't get political, but right now it is necessary. And really, it's hardly even political; it's just talking about the reality of the moment. Thanks as always for your great work and especially this inspirational episode. I do a little daily substack trying to stay engaged with all that is going on without letting it overwhelm me. I wrote tomorrow's post while listening to this episode! Slainte"  

Bitcoin soft-fork debates around CTV, CSFS, OP_CAT, and OP_VAULT keep stalling — and Misha Komarov of Allocinit argues you can emulate much of that covenant behavior with cryptography instead of changing consensus.Misha joins Stephan to unpack Bitcoin PIPEs v2: a Witness Encryption design that locks a signing key under an NP statement so a valid zero-knowledge proof decrypts the key and produces an ordinary Schnorr spend. Bitcoin L1 only checks a normal signature.They compare PIPEs v1 (Functional Encryption / richer post-covenants) with v2 (Witness Encryption / binary pre-covenants), ciphertext sizes from ~300 TB toward single-digit terabytes, DKG and 1-of-n setup assumptions, non-custodial vault and shared-pool use cases, contrasts with cosigner models like Sigbash, and how Allocinit's Shielded Bitcoin design differs from Shielded CSV's client-side validation approach — plus open cryptanalysis challenges and a path toward implementable code.Timestamps:00:00 — Intro: Misha & Bitcoin PIPEs v200:27 — Background: BitMessage to =nil;01:31 — Soft-Fork Fatigue & Nice-to-Haves03:24 — Emulate Opcodes Without Soft Forks04:54 — Witness Encryption Unlocks Keys06:01 — Witness Encryption vs Bitcoin Witness09:00 — PIPEs v1 vs v2: FE to WE11:39 — Ciphertext Size & Cost Trade-offs15:28 — Vaults as the Unhappy Path16:23 — PIPEs vs Sigbash Cosigner18:05 — DKG Setup & 1-of-n Trust21:11 — Shared Vaults & Lending Use Cases23:24 — Beyond Canonical OP_VAULT26:35 — Shielded Bitcoin vs Shielded CSV32:17 — Self-Custody Peg-In and Peg-Out37:14 — On-Chain Footprint Walkthrough39:42 — Security Challenges & Code RoadmapLinks: https://x.com/nemothenoonehttps://x.com/allocinitxyzStephan Livera links:Follow me on X: @stephanliveraSubscribe to the podcastSubscribe to Substack

To watch a video version of this podcast, click here: https://youtu.be/sbkwkInH1xg In this episode, Reuben Saltzman and Tessa Murry discuss the problems that come with aging galvanized steel drain pipes. Reuben shares a story about a severely clogged kitchen drain at his rental property and explains why replacing old galvanized pipes during a remodel can prevent bigger and more expensive problems later.They also discuss water heater anode rods, appliance age decoding, and the growing use of AI by home inspectors. After testing several AI tools to determine the age of his furnace, Reuben finds inconsistent results, reinforcing an important reminder: AI can be useful, but inspectors should always verify important information before sharing it with clients.Here's the link to Inspector Empire Builder: https://www.iebcoaching.com/eventsLearn how to determine the age of common household appliances with Structure Tech's Appliance Ages guide:https://structuretech.com/appliance-age/TakeawaysGalvanized steel drains corrode internally, allowing buildup to restrict or completely block water flow.Chemical drain cleaners can damage the protective zinc coating on galvanized pipes and worsen deterioration.Severely deteriorated galvanized drains may need replacement rather than repeated attempts at cleaning.Remodeling is an ideal time to replace old galvanized pipes while walls and finished surfaces are already open.Homeowners with galvanized steel drains should plan on eventually replacing them as they reach the end of their serviceable life.Anode rods help protect water heater tanks from corrosion, and replacing them when needed can extend the life of the water heater.Anode rod lifespan and accessibility vary depending on the water heater and water conditions.Appliance and HVAC equipment ages can often be determined using manufacturer serial numbers and age-decoding resources.Building Intelligence Center and Swift Reporter are useful resources for determining equipment age.Reuben tested several AI tools to determine his furnace's age and received inconsistent results.Some deeper-thinking AI modes provided correct answers after quicker responses gave incorrect information.AI can confidently provide inaccurate information, so home inspectors should verify important details before including them in reports or sharing them with clients.Chapters02:29 Inspector Empire Builder and AI Tools09:40 Reuben's Clogged Kitchen Sink Story10:42 Problems With Galvanized Steel Drains12:04 Drain Cleaners and Galvanized Pipes14:34 Replacing the Galvanized Drain Pipe20:00 When to Replace Galvanized Steel Drains23:06 Water Heater Anode Rod Maintenance26:46 Powered Anode Rods28:37 Bradford White Anode Rod Design30:32 Decoding Water Heater Manufacturing Dates35:00 Determining the Age of Appliances and Equipment35:31 Equipment Age-Decoding Resources 37:00 Testing AI to Determine Furnace Age39:19 Comparing Different AI Tools39:49 Why You Shouldn't Always Trust AI41:04 Reuben and Tessa's AI Tool Preferences42:18 The Benefits and Concerns Around AI

What would Medicare for All actually mean for American patients, doctors, and taxpayers? Tudor Dixon sits down with healthcare policy expert Sally Pipes, president and CEO of the Pacific Research Institute and author of The World’s Medicine Chest: How America Gained Pharmaceutical Supremacy—and How to Keep It, to examine the debate over Medicare for All and single-payer healthcare. Pipes draws on her experience growing up in Canada to discuss the trade-offs she sees in government-run healthcare, including longer wait times, physician shortages, healthcare rationing, taxes, and limits on patient choice. The conversation also examines healthcare systems in Canada and the United Kingdom, the cost of expanding government healthcare in the United States, Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement rates, and the impact of government policy on medical innovation. Tudor and Sally also discuss alternatives for lowering healthcare costs, including association health plans, increased competition, PBM reform, short-term insurance plans, and giving patients more control over their healthcare decisions. A major focus is Canada's healthcare wait times. The Fraser Institute's 2025 survey reported a median 28.6-week wait from GP referral to treatment, although that figure represents a survey-based measure across selected specialties rather than every Canadian patient's experience.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tonight on The Pipes Magazine Radio Show, we begin a three-part journey through the 70-year pipe-smoking life of Dennis Cullinan of Red Bell Pipes in Lansing, Michigan. Dennis began smoking a pipe at age 15 in 1956, when he walked into a neighborhood drugstore in Benton Harbor and bought his first pipe for $1.50. A week later, he was back for a $2.95 Medico, and his lifelong fascination with pipes was underway. In this first installment of "Storytime with Dennis," Dennis takes us back to those early years, when pipes and tobacco were sold at neighborhood drugstores and he was largely on his own in figuring out how to smoke them. He also tells the remarkable story of finding a GBD billiard in a phone booth at the University of Michigan - an encounter that would eventually lead to his lifelong interest in estate pipes. At the top of the show, Brian reviews the tinned version of Haunted Bookshop, following his earlier review of the bulk version of this classic blend.

The Boston Globe says there is no statistical evidence that increased spending on replacing old gas pipes has improved safety..See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Drop us a line! Let us know your out there!Man down! Scott's officially graduated to Life Alert candidate status and is sitting this one out, leaving Greg, Larry, and Anthony to hold down the fort (and the lounge) solo. Down a host but never down on quality, the remaining three fire up the CAO Flathead Steel Horses Ape Hanger, courtesy of Tommy Elledge of Traveling with Cigars and Pipes, and put it through its paces.Of course, no episode of Beyond the Humidor would be complete without a deep dive into the cigar news that matters — and this week the big talk is all about new releases from Casa Carrillo, Tatuaje and a few more. What's dropping, what it means for your humidor wish list, and whether it's worth the hype — we've got thoughts.Between the smoke, the news, and the noticeably empty chair, expect the usual dose of bullshit, banter, and borderline disastrous hilarity that keeps you coming back. Grab a cigar, settle in, and join three-quarters of the crew for another unfiltered ride.

Tonight on The Pipes Magazine Radio Show, our featured guest is Russell Gardner, owner of Dark Arts, a unique smoking lounge and retail tobacconist in Las Vegas. A longtime veteran of the restaurant and bar business, Russell owns several themed cocktail lounges, but his latest venture took an unexpected turn when he transformed a small back room at Grey Witch into a hidden, speakeasy-style smoking lounge and tobacconist. Dark Arts accommodates about 25 people, and getting inside is part of the experience – you actually enter through a fireplace. Russell is also a rare Las Vegas native, and his connection to pipe smoking goes back to high school, when he picked up a pipe at age 15 after starting out with cigars. Brian and Russell will talk about Dark Arts, the inspiration behind the unusual space, and the Las Vegas pipe scene. At the top of the show, in Pipe Parts, we'll have the fifth installment of our coffee pairing series with Bo Parker of Methodical Coffee.

Hear from Harry Souttar and City fans as Jack & Pipes reflect more on the Oxford defeat.

A freestall may look like a fairly simple piece of bent steel. But behind its modern design lies decades of observation, experimentation, failure and research into how cows naturally move, rest and behave.John de Jonge grew up on a dairy farm in British Columbia before entering agricultural manufacturing and dairy barn equipment. In the 1990s, he became part of a small group that began using time-lapse video and early sensor technology to study cows in pasture and inside freestall barns.What they discovered challenged many of the industry's assumptions.Freestalls were often too short, too narrow and too restrictive. Neck rails were positioned incorrectly. Pipes were placed in the cow's natural movement path. The industry had focused heavily on the strength and durability of the steel—but not enough on how the cow actually used the space.In this episode, John shares how that research helped reshape freestall design around the world. He and Paul also examine why the “best” housing system depends on climate, bedding, manure handling, labor and management—and why copying a successful neighboring dairy can still end badly.The technology inside dairy barns continues to change, but one principle has not: the entire system is only as strong as the environment it creates for the individual cow. Listen now!MEET THE GUESTJohn de Jonge grew up on his family's dairy farm in Pitt Meadows, British Columbia, where he developed an early interest in machinery, manufacturing and dairy housing.After studying agricultural mechanics and engineering at Olds College, John worked in several manufacturing environments before purchasing a small agricultural fabrication business at age 25. He went on to help develop and expand dairy housing equipment across North America and international markets.During the 1990s, John worked alongside researchers, veterinarians and other industry specialists to study cow behavior using time-lapse video and early sensor technology. That work helped challenge conventional assumptions about freestall dimensions, neck-rail placement and the space cows require to rise, rest and move naturally.John is now focused on InBarn, where he continues to help dairy producers and their advisors design facilities around cow comfort, management realities and long-term operational performance.ABOUT THE PODCASTDiscover the world of agriculture with the "Ag Culture Podcast".This podcast will be a gateway for those passionate about agriculture to explore its global perspectives and innovative practices.Join Paul as he shares his experiences in the agricultural industry, his travels, and encounters with important figures around the world.Available on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts.Subscribe at http://www.agculturepodcast.com and keep an eye out for future episodes, bringing insights and stories from the vibrant world of agriculture.

Send us Fan MailPouring grease down the kitchen sink seems harmless until the day the drain slows to a crawl. Joe Boziak, a master plumber with decades in the trade, handles all of the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District's plumbing needs. We discuss fats, oils, and greases (FOG), how they can mess up your pipes, and why the old “just run hot water” advice can make the buildup worse. Home-plumbing maintenance consists of low-cost moves like saving cooking grease in a can, feeding a garbage disposal slowly with cold water running, and a quick test for toilet leaks. If you care about avoiding clogs—and keeping our sewer shared infrastructure running smooth, this episode is a must listen!

Tonight on The Pipes Magazine Radio Show, our featured interview is with pipe maker Alexander Syrma of Israel. Alexander works primarily with high-grade Mediterranean and Algerian briar, sometimes incorporating distinctive materials such as mammoth ivory and exotic woods into his designs. His pipes range from lightweight, classic shapes to more expressive freehands, including Danish eggs, Rhodesians, and sandblasted diplomats. Brian and Alexander will talk about his approach to pipe making, the materials he works with, and the inspiration behind his distinctive designs. At the top of the show, Brian will take a look at the history of small-batch and limited-edition pipe tobaccos, including how these special releases have become such an interesting part of the hobby. He'll also give his own take on the appeal of limited and small-batch blends.

Two shooter betas dropped on the same weekend, so we played both and came back with very different verdicts. WARDOGS is Bulkhead's 100-player, three-team tactical shooter with a real money economy — you buy your loadout every respawn, you lose money when you die, and it turns out that changes how a match actually feels. Modern Warfare 4 finally dumps omnimovement, removes bloom from hipfire, and put a campaign mission in the beta for the first time ever. We get into the WARDOGS recon grind and the 5.56 break-action "sniper" that shouldn't exist, the money system and whether it creates real gear fear, three-team fights and whether they actually matter, spawn vehicles as an infinite money glitch, base building and anti-air, and why there is never — not once, not ever — an unoccupied tower. On the CoD side: how the movement feels without omnimovement, no-bloom hipfire on keyboard and mouse, opening-night demon lobbies, whether Warzone and DMZ2 have a chance, and the annual spawns discourse that needs to die. Jake played both. Raz refused to pre-order.

Steve Cunningham sits down with Dr. Alan Harrelson of The Pipe Cottage for a wide-ranging conversation on Catholicism, Southern culture, agrarianism, history, faith, family, and the possibility of a new Southern renaissance.Why does the American South still matter? What can Southern agrarianism teach a modern culture dominated by centralization, technology, urbanization, and the loss of local community?Dr. Harrelson discusses his conversion to Catholicism, his South Carolina roots, the influence of M. E. Bradford, Donald Davidson, Clyde Wilson, John Shelton Reed, the Southern Agrarians, Russell Kirk, Chesterton, Belloc, and others who defended the importance of tradition, place, agriculture, self-government, and the “permanent things.”The conversation also explores the Confederacy, slavery, historical memory, states' rights, centralized government, Catholic social teaching, subsidiarity, Southern literature, the importance of knowing where your people came from, and why younger Southerners increasingly want to rediscover their heritage.Dr. Harrelson also introduces the Bradford Institute and its inaugural gathering at Seabrook Island, South Carolina, featuring scholars devoted to Southern history, literature, culture, and conservative thought.Above everything else, Harrelson emphasizes that faith comes first: history and culture matter because they can help us better understand man, community, creation, and God.Topics: Catholicism • Southern History • Southern Agrarianism • M.E.

Tonight on The Pipes Magazine Radio Show, our featured interview is with Dutch pipe maker Martin Romijn, who originally appeared on the show in October 2019 on episode #372. Martin began smoking a pipe in 1989, at the age of 20, but it would be many years before he began making pipes. He first started making tampers and other pipe accessories as a part-time pursuit, and in 2016 he began making pipes. What started as a side project eventually became a full-time career, and Martin has developed a distinctive style of organic, freehand shapes that allow the character and grain of each piece of briar to influence the finished pipe. Brian and Martin will talk about his journey as a pipe maker, his approach to shaping briar, and the inspiration behind his work. At the top of the show, we'll have another installment of our Ask the Pipe Maker segment with Jeff Gracik, where Jeff answers listener questions and shares insights from the artisan pipe maker's perspective.

Nobody puts a picture of the barn in the listing and says, "We're not completely sure what's holding this thing up." Buying a homestead is a lot like dating — and today we're playing Would you date this homestead? We're past the basics. You know your price, your location, your acreage. This is what happens after the property catches your eye: what the listing photos aren't showing you, what to look for when you finally walk the land, the deed restriction that nearly cost us the property we loved, and the plumbing problem hiding under our slab that no inspection caught. I'm Wendi Bergin — Realtor, homesteader, and someone who has crossed a beautiful property off her own list more than once. Preparedness brings peace, not fear. That applies to buying land too.

I'll help you interview an agent A few things worth writing down The listing tells you whether you want a first date. It's not enough to decide whether you want to marry it. Fencing, outbuildings, water, and power are separate questions. Pipes to the stall don't mean working water; a barn can have water and no electricity. Stand still on the property for a full minute. Photos can't carry traffic noise, barking dogs, a shooting range, or the smell from the neighbor's operation. "Plenty of room for animals" and "legally allowed to have animals" are two entirely different things. Check zoning, deed restrictions, and HOA documents yourself — even on large acreage. Inspections don't catch everything. Ours didn't catch the plumbing under the slab, because nobody had lived in the house for three years. The question isn't whether the property has baggage. It does. The question is whether it's baggage you can afford, manage, and live with.

What does it really take to prepare a company for the public markets?

We return to Wilkie Collins and early detective writing with a study of this comic story, originally published in the Atlantic Monthly back in April of 1858. Mr Yatman, a hard-working SoHo stationer, has been robbed at home and now faces financial ruin. Conditions and suspects in the crime point to a "closed circle" mystery. When the veteran Sergeant Bulmer is taken off the case, a young upstart named Matthew Sharpin takes over the investigation... in a manner of speaking. Sharpin is well-connected but absurdly self-confident and Collins leans into the popular form of epistolary writing to chart this young man's (not-so-tragic) fall.Summary@7:50; PIPES@28:40.For more on Wilkie Collins, check out our episode on "The Moonstone" from March 2022.

Tonight on The Pipes Magazine Radio Show, our featured interview is with Richard Epley of EP Pipes. Based in Kentucky, Richard began making pipe stands from bourbon barrels in 2016 before turning his attention to pipe making a couple of years later. His background with bourbon barrels has given his work a distinctly Kentucky connection, while his handmade pipes showcase his creativity and attention to detail. Richard also pours his own acrylic stems and is known for using an unusually wide range of colors rather than sticking with the traditional black stem. Brian and Richard will talk about his journey from making pipe stands to crafting pipes, his approach to stem making, and the distinctive character of his work. At the top of the show, we'll have a review of G. L. Pease Fillmore, one of the blends in the G. L. Pease line from Cornell & Diehl.

Fifteen years after the publication of "The Talented Mr Ripley", Patricia Highsmith returns her ambitious con-man to readers in "Ripley Underground", the first of four follow-up mysteries. Tom is married and living outside of Paris now, six years following the events of the first novel, and enjoying the quiet life of a wealthy man. His criminality has mellowed since escaping to Greece in the wake of the Dickie Greenleaf affair, characterised by some art forgery and a minor role in a fencing scheme. However, problems ensue for Tom when an American collector hollers "fake!" and starts an investigation. Lies need covered and bodies need buried as Tom is thrown back into the disguise game.

Because unbeknownst to Greg, William and Tommy have been cooking up a little something behind the scenes, and he has absolutely no idea what's coming. Buckle up, Greg. It's gonna be a bumpy — and hilarious — ride.So light one up, pour something brown, and settle in for cigar talk, festival hype, terrible tech luck, and a surprise that's gonna leave one host very suspicious of his co-hosts.Follow us on Facebook and Instagram!Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/LoomisCigarCartelInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/loomiscigarcartel/OREmail Us at info@loomiscigarcartel.com

For fifteen years, he had a practical answer for just about everything. Old buildings creak. Pipes make noise. Floors settle. Strange sounds almost always have a simple explanation.But there was one apartment he could never quite figure out.Tenants in Apartment 12 never seemed to stay as long as everyone else. Every so often someone mentioned footsteps, doors opening on their own, or a feeling they couldn't explain. He dismissed it all as part of living in a building that was nearly a century old.Then one afternoon, while preparing the apartment for yet another new tenant, something happened that refused to fit any logical explanation.Years later, he still isn't convinced the building is haunted.

In this conversation, John and Carole Ferguson and their daughters reflect on the rhythms that built a close, capable, faith-filled family across generations. They share how clear expectations, consistent family meals, chores, service, hospitality, gentle correction, and intentional time with extended family gave their children both security and responsibility. As grandparents, John and Carole emphasize the importance of prayer, showing up for meaningful moments, supporting without managing, welcoming spouses as family, and helping each grandchild feel deeply loved, accepted, and known. Questions David mentions: When you think about your family growing up, what did your parents do that made you feel most safe, seen, and known? Grandparents often have influence in ways they don't even realize. What are some things your parents did—or still do—that shaped the way you parent today? For the daughters—what are some things your parents did growing up that you now realize were actually building capability in you? For the grandparents—what has been the biggest surprise about moving from parenting children to parenting adult children… and now grandparenting? How do you stay supportive without overstepping? Especially when you may parent differently than your adult children do? What does healthy involvement from grandparents actually look like? What helps adult children feel supported instead of managed? There's so much research—including work from Lisa Miller—about how grandparents can deeply shape a child's spiritual life. How have you seen that play out in your family? What are some of the most meaningful traditions, rhythms, or small moments that have helped create connection across generations? For the daughters—what do your parents do now that makes you feel most encouraged as an adult? For the grandparents—what would you say to grandparents who feel unsure of their role or worry they've missed their chance to make an impact? If each of you could finish this sentence: “One thing every child needs from a grandparent is…” what would you say?
