Podcasts about pumpkins

Pumpkins are one of fall's most famous symbols—and they have a long history! Native Americans were among the first to grow pumpkins, using them for food long before they became decorations. When European settlers arrived, they learned to cook and bake with pumpkins, helping them survive tough winters. Over time, pumpkins became a fall favorite, especially at harvest festivals and Halloween. Today, people carve pumpkins into glowing jack-o'-lanterns, decorate porches, and enjoy pumpkin pie and spice. This video explores how a simple plant became a fun, colorful part of fall traditions around the world.

Yaaaassss, Weirdos! Welcome to SPOOKY SEASON!!! You know what that means.  Pumpkins.  Horror movies. Ghouls.  Girls, gays & theys! This week is a very special episode where we are celebrating QUEER HORROR!!  Our special guest this week is an American author, playwright and theater director of (get this) HELLGATE HIGH Mr. Laramie Dean!!  We are exploring the horror genre all the way back to the gothic novels of the 1800's to the campy gore of the 80s and to our explicitly queer films today.  The LGBTQA+ community has always found representation in the horror genre - sometimes they had to hide their queerness, sometimes they got it WAY wrong but nevertheless their stories and films have inspired generations of us throughout the last century and a half and for that we are eternally grateful! So join us as we chat Mary Shelley, James Whale, John Waters, Interview with the Vampire, Chucky, and so much more.

Astrid wondered out loud.Da: Søren piftede og sagde: "Vi laver en plan. Jeg siger, hvordan vi gør det bedst."En: Søren whistled and said, "Let's make a plan.

Carol and Katy are back with birthday week banter, bopping around New York, and plenty of Honest to Pete hot takes. From pumpkins in 80-degree weather to Super Bowl halftime drama (sorry, Bad Bunny), and why day dates beat date nights, it's a mix of laughs, fashion, family, and a little reality-TV gossip.

Classic LOL about the fast way to having giant pumpkins. 

*The government shutdown is underway.   *The shutdown poses a serious risk for the cattle industry.   *The FDA has given conditional approval for Dectomax injectable to be used to prevent and treat screwworms. *Pumpkins are an important crop at this time of year.  *Fall weather is moving into many parts of Texas.  *A Texas congresswoman is asking the U.S. Trade Representatives office to help enforce the 1944 water treaty with Mexico.  *The month of September ended very dry in the Coastal Bend.  *The Texas livestock industry is actively preparing for the arrival of New World screwworms.

The Halloween Jack-o'-lantern, made from pumpkins in the US and originally turnips in the UK, began its existence as a wisp of glowing marsh gas or "spooklight." We begin our episode with a montage of modern American spooklights including that of Oklahoma's "Spooklight Road," North Carolina's Brown Mountain, and the flying saucers sighted in Michigan in 1966, famously identified by investigator Allen Hynek  as "swamp gas." "Jack-o'-lantern"  was just another name given to what's more widely known now as a Will-o'-the-wisp -- a wavering, bobbing light seen in marshy places, understood as mischievous spirit intent on leading travelers off course and into their doom in muck and mire.  Flaming methane produced by rotting vegetation in such environments, is said to the the cause of the phenomenon, though the mode of ignition is still largely a matter of debate. The Latin name for such lights, ignis fatuus  (ool's fire), was also applied to phenomena having nothing to do with swamps, as it's been used interchangeably with "St. Elmo's Fire" to describe electrical discharges seen on ships; masts and other rodlike protrusions when atmospheric conditions are right. We hear a dramatic first-person account from 1847, in which St. Elmo's Fire (identified by antiquarian Henry Duncan as ignis fatuus) appears on a coachman's whip during a storm. A mirage in a marsh. Coloured wood engraving by C Whymper. Gas. Contributors: Charles H Whymper (1853–1941). We then hear what scientists of the 16th and 17th century made of ignis fatuus, often relating it  unexpectedly to meteors or luminous insects, while mocking "the superstitions" who imagined it as wandering spirits alight with the flames of Purgatory. Along with marsh spirits exlusively dedicated to misleading travelers, ignis fatuus could also be a temporary  form  taken by shapeshifting fairy folk like Puck or Robin Goodfellow.  We hear an example of this from  the 1628 pamphlet, Robin Goodfellow, his Mad Pranks and Merry Jests. We also see the term appearing in literature of the 16th and 17th century as a metaphor for treachery or deception, in works by John Milton and William Shakespeare. We run through the variety of colorful regional names by which Will-o-the-Wisps were known: Bob-a-longs, Pinkets, Spunkies, Merry Dancers, Nimble men, Hinkypunks, and Flibberdigibbets, as well as some female variants including Peg-a-lantern and Kitty with the Candlestick. In Wales, these mysterious lights could be omens of death, also known as "corpse candles," or "death lights." Appearing around the home of the dying or at the deathbed, they were also called "fetch lights," as they would arrive when required to fetch the soul to the other side. In Cornwall, fool's fire is associated with the piskies, in particular Joan the Wad and her partner Jack-o'-the-Lantern, the former having acquired a mostly positive reputation in the 20th century as a luck-bringer. Mrs. Karswell also reads  some tales of ignis fatuus in the western counties, where the lights are called "hobby lanterns" (from hobgoblin) or  "lantern men." We then shift gears to discuss the pumpkin form of Jack-o'-lantern, beginning with a well-circulated Irish origin story. A quick summary: the light carried in a hollowed vegetable (a pumpkin in the New World or turnip in the Old) represents the spirit of a notorious sinner, "Jack," or "Stingy Jack," who upon death finds he is too wicked for Heaven and too troublesome for Hell. Consquently, he is condemned to wander the earth till Judgement Day, given the peculiar lantern to light his way. This, at least, is the most recent version of the tale, but when it first appeared in print, in a 1936 edition of the Dublin Penny Journal, there's no mention of any hollowed vegetable, much less of Halloween -- meaning this "ancient legend" actually evolved as Halloween folklore in the second half of the 20th century. We then do a bit more myth-busting on the other side of the Atlantic...

The security checkpoint between the Disneyland Hotel and the shopping district is under construction to add a new, permanent gate. The new location for Earl of Sandwich continues to take shape, while work still continues on Lullemon in the old ESPN Zone building, and exterior work on the LEGO store. – https://www.micechat.com/423670-disneyland-news-most-stressful-record-settlement-ceo-succession/ A recent study of TripAdvisor reviews found that some of the places we like to visit the most are also the most stressful. Theme parks dominate the results, with 6 Disney locations in the top 20 worldwide. Disneyland ranks #5 globally, but #1 in the US, followed by the Las Vegas Strip, and the National Museum of American History in Washington, DC. Some reasons for theme parks to rank so highly include a combination of massive crowds, long wait times, and high expectations.
