Lord, it seems like an age since we recorded this and tbh I am not quite sure what we talked about.I can tell you it was the balance of the post-Pompeii chat (and that it happened on #plumday) but life has moved on since then, and recall is rarely linear for me these days. It tends to wash over me in waves.In other news the ICG reissues have finally arrived, and they look bloody lovely. Today, can certainly be classed as one of my 3650 good days.Love'n'first-time-on-vinylhTCD Merch StoreBecome Purple and support the showThe Invisible Man Volume 1: 1991-1997The Invisible Man Volume2: 1998-2014FacebookInstagramWebsite

Mike spends National Roller Coaster Day right where he wants to be: at Busch Gardens Williamsburg, riding walk-on after walk-on during the park's Brews & BBQ festival. Between food samples and short lines, he gets reacquainted with old favorites like Apollo's Chariot and Escape from Pompeii, takes the family on Roman Rapids for the first whitewater ride he's been on in years, and gives a full breakdown of Verbolten's surprising overnight refresh — new queue storytelling from an animatronic witch, reworked lighting and scrims inside the show building, and a genuinely creepy new glowing tree effect that makes the whole ride feel reborn without changing the layout at all. Then it's the segment you've been waiting for: the full, exclusive 30-minute interview with Erica Rutledge, Herschend's Senior Director of Guest Experience Development and Creative Director behind NightFlight Expedition, along with longtime Dollywood PR Vice President Pete Owens. They go deep on how the ride's Mack Rocking Boat vehicle came directly out of lessons learned building Big Bear Mountain, the full legend of Secret Lake and characters Cora and Jasper, how a chance conversation turned the ride into four completely different adventures in one — plus hidden Easter eggs connecting it to Big Bear Mountain's shared universe, and just how much work goes into an attraction that's still being "plussed" even after it opens.

Falsely accused (Emotionally abused), Beaten (Physically abused in public to humiliate) Locked away from everyone in the deepest part of the dungeon… Most likely where the raw sewage flowed. (Socially abused) Chained (Mentally abused and in stocks) Archaeological evidence from sites like the gladiator barracks at Pompeii - torture racks. **AND AT MIDNIGHT: Why Midnight Singing Is Even More Remarkable Than It First Appears Put the whole picture together: Paul and Silas had been publicly stripped, beaten with rods by state lictors, thrown into the inner prison (the most secure, likely darkest and most miserable section), and their legs forced into a device specifically designed to maximize ongoing physical suffering. And at midnight — the point of deepest exhaustion and vulnerability — "they were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them" (v. 25). THESE WERE NOT QUIET MURMURINGS - The Greek word for "singing hymns" here is hymneō — the same root behind our English "hymn" — meaning they weren't just murmuring quiet comfort to themselves; they were audibly, deliberately worshiping, loud enough that the entire prison population was listening. **Look at all that is HAPPENING to them. Happiness is based on what Happens. It is called “happenstance”. But Spiritually they still knew where they stood. They still experienced joy. *Joy starts with focus not feelings. Happiness depends on what happens… so you have to do the work to make good things happen. *YOU BECOME A SLAVE TO PERFORMING, AND CIRCUMSTANCES. Vs. joy which focuses on the outcome not the current circumstances. Joy is best served with friends. Go to an amusement park with no one??? Why? Isolation kills joy Your joy affects others Are you the one who people love to see walk into a room? The joy experienced by Paul and Silas freed the other prisoners. Joy preceded their deliverance They did not rejoice because they were free - they rejoiced and that is what freed them!

This is a preview of this week's bonus episode. Subscribe to TIYA After Dark on Patreon to support This Is Your Afterlife & get all bonus episodes for $5 a month: patreon.com/thisisyourafterlife.These bonus episodes are nothing if not experimental. Even more than This Is Your Afterlife, TIYA After Dark is a place to test how close I can come to replicating the experience of doing a live show in podcast form. Which is to say I am so curious what you think of this week's episode, in which my fellow comedians and longtime buddies Drennen Quinn and Daniel Strauss join me to talk over Pink Floyd: Live at Pompeii, a recently reissued concert film Drennen saw at the store recently. He suggested we do the podcast while the movie plays, and so we did. Does the concert audio cut out at one point? Does a baby interrupt the recording? Does the episode start with three people and end with two? Yes, yes, and yes! It is chaos. Here's hoping the good kind! I know I encourage your feedback every week, but if there's any week to email, it's this one.We talk about: boomers on weed, music babies can play, how volcanoes work, wearing diapers to concerts.To watch along with us, click the link, hit pause, mute the audio or lower it to your desired volume, and press play when we do: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVau7xYA8rkFollow Daniel and Drennen:https://www.instagram.com/danielstrauss/https://www.instagram.com/drennenwon/Follow TIYA, share your thoughts:https://thisisyourafterlife.com/https://www.instagram.com/thisisyourafterlife/thisisdavemaher@gmail.comMusic by TIYA house band Lake Mary:https://lakemary.bandcamp.com/https://www.instagram.com/chaz.prymek/Artwork by Matt Sage:https://www.instagram.com/matthewjsage/

Plum Day comes but once a year, and as it turned out this year it was on Tuesday 4th."But what is Plum Day" I hear you cry, well that is the day that Ant and I settle ourselves in the garden at Hogarth Towers, pick the ripened plums off the tree, and generally talk bollocks.It started a couple of years ago, post a Cropredy performance with Trevor, and has now become a bit of a thing. And this year's crop are juicy, and sweet, but we had to get in quick because they have also peaked a little early. Premature you might say.Anyway it gave us a chance to pick over the bones of Pompeii (assuming that isn't too inappropriate as a phrase) and record a couple of episodes of TCD in person.First up is Soundcheck, the Choir and Andy G...h xTCD Merch StoreBecome Purple and support the showThe Invisible Man Volume 1: 1991-1997The Invisible Man Volume2: 1998-2014FacebookInstagramWebsite

A sweeping history of humanity's most fundamental creation―the home―and its effects on the land, cities, and people themselves. Americans spend, on average, 90 percent of their lives indoors, with two-thirds of that time spent in their homes. Globally, the construction and maintenance of residential buildings account for a staggering portion of carbon emissions. In this timely and fascinating work, architect and urban-planning scholar Stefan Al deftly weaves together archaeology, engineering, social history, and environmental science to explain how our homes have developed through the ages and in turn shaped civilization and the planet itself. From tiny pit-houses in the Levant and Mesoamerica thousands of years ago to soaring skyscrapers in Dubai, New York, and Shanghai today, Dwelling on Earth: The Past and Future of the Places We Call Home (W. W. Norton & Company, 2026) takes readers on a swift and absorbing tour of the evolution of human habitation. Whisking readers from ancient Pompeii to contemporary Hong Kong, industrial-age Liverpool to postwar Levittown, Al shows how our choices in housing have both reflected and affected ideas about gender roles, privacy, and comfort. Discover how seemingly mundane elements―like door-knockers and corridors―have altered everyday interactions, and how material choices have remade the planet's surface. He also confronts the darker side of domesticity, exposing the unintended consequences of our architectural choices across millennia, including smoke-filled Neolithic dwellings, deadly fires in crowded Roman apartment buildings, and worsening social isolation in car-dependent suburbs. Finally, he examines the myths and reality of future housing, including 3D-printed homes and space architecture built by robots. Drawing from personal experiences across global cities and professional insights, Al illuminates how our choices in housing continue to influence everything from social relationships to climate change, ultimately arguing that understanding this rich history is crucial for building a more sustainable future. With billions more people needing housing in the coming decades, Dwelling on Earth reveals how we might transform humanity's defining challenge into our greatest opportunity.

Happy Regular Guy Friday! We fooled them again and somehow made it through another week. This week we talk about the back-to-school season, why childhood excitement doesn't seem to come as easily anymore, and whether having everything all the time has quietly stolen some of the joy of looking forward to something. We talk about why anticipation may be one of life's greatest gifts—and why sometimes the best memories weren't about what we got, but what we couldn't wait for. We also talk about Child World, KB Toys, Christmas traditions, RGF Observations from Pompeii, why archaeologists intentionally leave discoveries for future generations, and whether maybe we should leave a little something for ourselves to look forward to as well. We talk about the difference between friends who cheer you on and friends who keep score, why giving people room to grow is one of the greatest gifts you can give them, and how constantly waiting for "someday" can quietly steal the life you're living today. We talk about The Bad News Bears, backyard drama, fake work questions, Victim Con needing a rebrand, bar stool observations, and why sometimes the healthiest thing you can do is stop counting the days until retirement and start finding a little more peace in the one you're already living.

Caitie Barrett and I discuss the houses (and overlooked gardens) of Pompeii
Situs Liyangan, Temanggung, Jawa Tengah — permukiman Mataram Kuno berusia 2000 tahun yang terkubur letusan Gunung Sindoro dan dijuluki "Pompeii dari Jawa". Episode ini bongkar metode arkeologi kebencanaan (disaster archaeology) yang dipakai arkeolog Balai Arkeologi Yogyakarta untuk membedakan jejak erupsi vulkanik seribu tahun lalu: stratigrafi tujuh lapisan piroklastik tanpa jeda, pengukuran suhu erupsi 295-487°C dari karbonisasi arang kayu, sampai rekahan gas vulkanik yang membeku jadi saksi bisu. Cocok untuk pendengar yang suka sejarah Nusantara, arkeologi Indonesia, mitigasi bencana gunung berapi, dan misteri situs purbakala. Waspada Ya, Panik Jangan.
Dennis is joined via Zoom by playwright, screenwriter, actor and teacher Bernardo Cubria to talk about his hilarious and powerful new "dinner party gone wrong" play The People of Pompeii, which just opened at the Will Geer Theatricum in Topanga Canyon. (This is where Dennis first met Bernardo last fall as a student in his playwriting class.) The People of Pompeii is set in Topanga in the days following the evacuations from the 2025 fires and explores themes of community, climate change, and personal truth. Bernardo discusses his creative process, the importance of brutal honesty in playwriting, and his approach to teaching, which emphasizes finishing work over adhering to strict rules. Bernardo also talks about writing on the TV series Acapulco, why he started a Substack to write about the World Cup, and the influence of his upbringing and family on his work. Other topics include: crying at the drop of a hat, the majestic owl that made a cameo appearance in last Saturday's show, acting in the show opposite his real life wife, his other new play Lauren Sanchez, the power of "pinche" and the righteous outburst he had as a 5 year-old while watching a production of Jesus Christ Superstar.
Graffiti! Ham Clocks! Fish Guts! These are just a few of the topics we'll explore with today's guest, Tim Huddlestone…sorry, Tom Hiddleston, in this special bonus episode as we dig into what the eruption of Mount Vesuvius and the preservation of Pompeii reveal about life as an ancient Roman in the first century C.E. ⚡ Want more?

This week we cover three new archaeology news stories! First up, a new LiDAR study in Brazil is revealing that the Amazonian ancient civilization of Aquiry may have been much larger than previously known. Then, a tomb in Poland that was opened in 1973 harbored a deadly fungus that caused the deaths of many of the researchers that worked on it, like a modern day Mummy's Curse! And finally, archaeologists at Pompeii are reconstructing a ceiling mosaic piece by painstaking piece.

This week we cover three new archaeology news stories! First up, a new LiDAR study in Brazil is revealing that the Amazonian ancient civilization of Aquiry may have been much larger than previously known. Then, a tomb in Poland that was opened in 1973 harbored a deadly fungus that caused the deaths of many of the researchers that worked on it, like a modern day Mummy's Curse! And finally, archaeologists at Pompeii are reconstructing a ceiling mosaic piece by painstaking piece.

We are back with another packed episode of Pop Culture Mondays on Thursdays, covering influencer travel, internet surveillance, viral animals, blockbuster movies, and one unforgettable arrest outfit. First, Brooke breaks down how TikTok and Instagram have turned Europe into an overcrowded, overshared backdrop—and why a recent trip to Paris made her rethink how much we share online. Then, we get into Meta AI glasses, the creepy reality of being filmed without knowing it, the Netflix documentary trend, tan-maxxing, and the darker consequences of going viral. We also meet Jimothy, the short-spined raccoon uniting the internet, before diving into The Odyssey, Sheep Detectives, Tom Hiddleston's Pompeii obsession, and the Andrew Tate memes taking over the timeline. This week's newsletter: https://popculturemondays.com/2026/07/27/summer-2026-so-far/
From a 7,000-year-old stone circle that predates Stonehenge, to a lost Egyptian city connected to the biblical Exodus account, an impossible gold shipwreck, Pompeii's stunning restored masterpiece, and a mysterious Roman military camp where soldiers were buried in wells—these are the discoveries making headlines right now.

One person is dead after a van attack at a Pride event in Berlin. A gay off-duty police officer who was there tells us that hate is growing in Germany — and he hopes fear will not win. An Ontario emergency room doctor tells us she and her colleagues are totally drained; in fact, her new study finds the burnout rate for Canadian ER physicians is as high as it was during the worst of the pandemic. A "fire cloud' threatens to destroy several communities in southwest France; a resident tells us that the day he was forced to evacuate, the sky looked like Pompeii. Chefs love a gas stove — but a scientist tells us that, if you have asthma, you're better off switching to electric. A new study suggests bird songs share certain recognizable motifs, even across species and around the world. One of the researchers tells us he listened to thousands of hours of birdsong to reach this conclusion — and he's still not sick of it. A Polish man spends a record length of time covered head-to-toe in snow — and now his competition is shaking. Although to be fair, so is he.As It Happens, the Monday Edition.

On this week's Empire Podcast, Helen O'Hara slides into the host's chair in the Comic-Con-related absence of Chris Hewitt, and together, she, James Dyer and Amon Warmann come up with some of the greatest dog movies, suggest classic myths that could be turned into movies, swap outlandish theories about Avengers: Doomsday, talk about the movie news that broke before Comic-Con, and review The Dink, 72 Hours, and Deep Water. Guest-wise, for the first time in a while we have two in one episode, with Chris talking (via AirPods, thanks to technical difficulties) to The Dink star and all-round legend, Mary Steenburgen [26:54 - 44:27 approx], and then to old podcast stalwart, Tom Hiddleston, who whisks Chris away to actual Pompeii to talk about Hiddleston's new Disney+ docu-drama, Pompeii: Out Of Time, and display dazzling proficiency in Latin. [1:02:35 - 1:20:01 approx] Enjoy.
In our last episode, we waxed poetically (or rambled) about the magic of Pompeii and how indescribable it feels. In this episode, we're talking about the practicalities of the Archeological Park of Pompeii. We'll explain how to get there, with an insider tip for leaving from Naples*, break down the different types of tickets, and talk about some fun facts and interesting sites within the park. *If you're taking the Circumvesuviana train to Pompeii from Naples, our tip is to board the train at the Porta Nolana Station, which is about a 10 minute walk from the central train station, Garibaldi. This station is much more calm, has an elevator (Garibaldi does not for the Circumvesuviana), and you're more likely to get a seat as the Circumvesuviana originates at Porta Nolana.

Pompeii, the city covered in ash that's still being discovered. We spend most of this episode's 40-odd minutes trying to put into words why someone should go. Sure, it's old, but so is a lot of Italy. And while it's well-preserved, again, so is a lot of Italy (and the other remnants of the Roman Empire). It's also hard to imagine how much you might enjoy it until you're there. That's when the film between "now" and "then" gets pulled back and you might realize how special a place it is. And thanks to the comment of a listener, we actually start this episode talking about one of the weirder mysteries surrounding the actual event—the day of eruption.

Pompeii is known for its disastrous end with the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, but for archeologists, what came before is just as interesting. Researchers are using artifacts left behind in the remarkably well-preserved Roman city to piece together what life was like for the thousands of people who lived there 2,000 years ago. A new book and television show analyze some of these clues to tell the stories of the ordinary people who faced this extraordinary event. Flora speaks with archaeobotanist Jess Venner, author of “The Lost Voices of Pompeii,” and actor Tom Hiddleston, host of National Geographic's “Pompeii: Out of Time with Tom Hiddleston.” Read an excerpt from “The Lost Voices of Pompeii: Life and Death on Pompeii's Final Day” Watch the interview on YouTube. Guests: Dr. Jess Venner is an archaeobotanist at the University of Oxford and author of “The Lost Voices of Pompeii.” Tom Hiddleston is an actor and producer, and host of National Geographic's “Pompeii: Out of Time with Tom Hiddleston.” Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.

This week we let ChatGPT help pick the news stories (which seemed like a good idea at the time), and honestly, it kind of worked.We start with Russia reportedly having to buy gasoline after Ukrainian drone strikes hit their refinery capacity, which turns into a bigger conversation about energy markets, gasoline and diesel, and how cheap drones are completely changing the math of modern warfare.Then we get into Japan potentially pushing its giant pension funds to bring more money back home, the AI trade still running through SK Hynix and GPU demand, and the Fed now treating AI infrastructure spending as one of the things keeping inflation hotter than expected.So there is real market stuff in here.But also, this is Dan and me, so we also talk about a squirrel getting loose in a Meta office, a bear breaking into a shopping mall on a military base, Britain trying to survive heat waves with better refrigerators and tiny fans, Pepsi making a very questionable Wild Cherry post in India, AI reading ancient Roman scrolls, Pompeii, Pink Floyd, and whether Wendy's Biggie Bag is secretly one of the better recession trades on the board.

Annie Sargent and Elyse Rivin dig into the life of Alexandre Dumas Père — and it's a wild ride. His grandmother was a slave. His father was the French army's first non-white general. Napoleon destroyed that father, and Dumas never forgot it. He wrote over 100 novels, went broke twice, helped unify Italy, and ran the museums of Naples — including Pompeii. Oh, and he wrote a cookbook. Elyse brings the research, Annie brings the questions, and together they make French history genuinely fun. Hit play.

“Ever since I was little, there has been a flavor, a grace of energy, which has always guided me…Fortunately, despite many challenges along the way, I feel it has mainly been full of grace, for which I am eternally grateful.” - Ginger GilmourWould you run off with the love of your life after only knowing them for 3 days? It sounds like the plot of a Disney movie, but it was Ginger Gilmour's real life when she found love at first sight with Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour. (And how could she not? It's David Gilmour!)Ginger married her “Prince Charming” and lived a rock-and-roll fairytale, watching as Pink Floyd went from rags to riches. They welcomed four children together and traveled the world together. When the dream was over, Ginger rebuilt her life; becoming a successful multi-media artist. Ginger's life is a tale of love, spirituality, healing, and finding purpose in life: bringing love and beauty into the lives of others.Hear the story of Pink Floyd from one of the few women who were around, told by two women who love Floyd (and have edited as many of Dave's guitar solos as they possibly could into this episode.) “Ginger Gilmour: Echoes in Beauty” is available wherever you stream your podcasts
