    Today on this episode of TFB's behidn the Gun podcast, we're back in the studio with the founder of HUSH Holsters, Specner Gottleib, to talk about some of his newest products and a massive expansion of his company into new territory. HUSH started a number of years ago as a dream of Spencer's to create a more practical and sensible holster for use with pistols that have suppressors attached to them. Seeing no good solutions that did what he wanted already on the market, he set out to 3D print his own, which eventually led to the first iteration of the HUSH Holster. After a short year-long hiatus, Spencer is back in the holster business again, along with new talent, and has a whole new generation of Universal Suppressor Compatible Holsters, along with a whole suite of aftermarket parts for the legendary SKS rifle. Today, Spencer and I will talk about all that and more to bring you guys up to date on the latest from HUSH Holsters.  HUSH Holsters Website HUSH Holsters on YouTube HUSH Holsters on Instagram HUSH Holsters on Facebook

    Explaining History (explaininghistory) (explaininghistory)

    Who was John Dee—the Tudor polymath who advised Elizabeth I, mapped the heavens, spoke (he believed) with angels, and penned a landmark preface to Euclid? Historian and writer Rachel Morris joins to unpack Dee's strange, brilliant world at the fault line between Renaissance “natural magic” and the birth of modern science. We explore why astrology was respectable, what “as above, so below” meant to learned magi, how printing turned libraries into engines of ideas, the hazards of practicing magic in an age of heresy trials, and why Dee still feels uncannily modern. We also touch on his years in Prague, his uneasy return to England, and the beautiful—if perilous—idea that the cosmos is alive with meaning.Rachel's new book The Years of the Wizard: The Strange History and Home Life of Renaissance Magicians (Duckworth) is out now.

    Episode 284 - Tarot Emblemata with Nitasia Roland

    Tarot Emblemata is a magical and mystical tarot deck based on the 1551 book of emblems by Claude Paradin. Renaissance emblems are intimate illustrations with accompanying mottos that allegorically and symbolically express sentiments, concepts, societal concerns, and parables. These Renaissance emblems are a didactic genre of interpretive art and, within them, author and creator Nitasia Roland has discovered that their enigmatic imagery and “mottos” correspond dynamically and align perfectly with the seventy cards of the Major and Minor Arcana of the tarot.Among the many ancient and iconic images this deck portrays—plumes, helmets, swords, gemstone rings, coins, wands, clouds, wreaths, flowers, animals, and trees—Roland sees the evolution of tarot's wands, swords, cups, and coins, as well as evocative glimmers of the Major Arcana archetypes. Both secular and religious, Renaissance emblems were meant to crystallize virtue or vice and cover every sphere of early modern knowledge: ethics, natural philosophy, politics, science, religion, love, war, and everyday life, very much in the same way that modern tarot imagery provides insight and clarity today.The Tarot Emblemata deck will help readers expand on their path of embodiment, spiritual gnosis, inspired destiny, and empowerment. The accompanying guidebook presents tarot interpretations and elucidations on the symbolism of the emblems. Tarot Emblemata features a ribbon lift and gilded cards. It is an accessible deck for beginners and those familiar with the Rider-Waite-Smith system, while more experienced readers will enjoy a new and refreshing perspective. Find the deck and Natasia:Tarot Emblemata Deck: https://amzn.to/4mRCHWGWebsite: www.uraniapress.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/nitasia_roland/ and https://www.instagram.com/urania_press/Nitasia Roland is a poet and writer of nonfiction with a focus on dovetailing the wisdom and practices of Western Esotericism, magic, myth, and mysticism.

Nitasia works from home as an artist, independent researcher, editor, and indie tarot deck creator at her publishing company Urania Press.

    What to Do When Visiting Mechelen, BelgiumNestled between Brussels and Antwerp, Mechelen is one of Belgium's most charming yet often overlooked cities. With its rich history, vibrant culture, and welcoming atmosphere, it offers visitors an authentic Belgian experience without the crowds. Whether you're spending a day or a weekend, here's how to make the most of your visit to Mechelen.1. Start at the Grote MarktEvery great visit to Mechelen begins in the Grote Markt, the city's picturesque main square. Surrounded by beautifully restored guild houses, cafés, and the imposing St. Rumbold's Cathedral, this is the heart of local life. Grab a coffee at one of the terraces and soak in the view of the impressive Stadhuis (Town Hall), a blend of Gothic and Renaissance architecture.2. Climb St. Rumbold's TowerFor the best view in Mechelen, climb the St. Rumbold's Tower, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The 97-meter tower offers panoramic views stretching all the way to Brussels and Antwerp on a clear day. The climb includes several stops with exhibits about the tower's history and its world-famous carillon bells.3. Visit the Dossin Barracks and MuseumThe Kazerne Dossin Museum provides a powerful and moving experience. It tells the story of Belgium's Jewish community during World War II, focusing on the deportations that took place from this very site. The museum balances historical insight with personal stories, making it a deeply reflective visit.4. Discover the Beguinage QuarterWander through Mechelen's Beguinage Quarter, a maze of cobblestone lanes and quaint whitewashed houses. This peaceful neighborhood once housed a community of beguines—women who lived religious lives without taking vows. Today, it's a serene area perfect for a quiet stroll and a glimpse into medieval urban life.5. Explore the River Dijle PathFor a unique view of Mechelen, walk along the Dijlepad, a wooden boardwalk that floats above the River Dijle. This scenic walkway winds through the city, connecting green spaces and historic buildings, offering a tranquil way to experience Mechelen from a different perspective.6. Tour the Hof van Busleyden MuseumThe Hof van Busleyden Museum, housed in a Renaissance palace, showcases Mechelen's role during the Burgundian era. The exhibitions blend art, history, and innovation, providing insight into the city's golden age when it was a major center of European politics and culture.7. Visit the Het Anker Brewery and DistilleryNo trip to Mechelen would be complete without a stop at the Het Anker Brewery and Distillery, one of the oldest breweries in Belgium. Located in the heart of the city, Het Anker has been brewing beer for more than five centuries and is home to the famous Gouden Carolus range. Join a guided tour to learn about traditional brewing methods and sample a selection of their award-winning beers straight from the source. The onsite distillery adds another dimension, producing fine Gouden Carolus whiskies that have gained international acclaim. The adjoining brasserie is the perfect place to enjoy hearty Belgian dishes paired with their signature brews.8. Experience the Toy Museum (Speelgoedmuseum Mechelen)For a touch of nostalgia and fun, visit the Toy Museum of Mechelen, one of the largest of its kind in Europe. This museum showcases an extensive collection of toys from across generations—ranging from antique dolls and model trains to classic board games and modern LEGO creations. It's a wonderful experience for families and adults alike, offering both playful exhibits and thoughtful insights into how toys have evolved over time. Children can participate in interactive play areas, while adults will find themselves reminiscing about their own childhood favorites.9. Taste More Local DelightsBeyond Het Anker, Mechelen's culinary scene continues to impress. Try Maneblusser, the city's other signature beer, named after a local legend about the townspeople mistaking the moon's glow for a fire in the cathedral tower. Pair it with Flemish specialties at one of the city's many excellent restaurants, from traditional brasseries to modern bistros.10. Visit Technopolis with the FamilyIf you're traveling with children, Technopolis is another must-visit attraction. This interactive science museum encourages hands-on exploration, with exhibits that make learning fun for all ages. It's located just outside the city center and is a perfect choice for a family day out or a rainy afternoon.11. Relax at the Botanical GardenEnd your day with a quiet moment in Mechelen's Botanical Garden (Kruidtuin). Originally part of a monastery, it's now a beautifully maintained park with lush greenery, flowers, and shaded benches. It's the ideal spot to unwind before heading back to the bustling Grote Markt for dinner.12. Stay a Little LongerMechelen may be compact, but it rewards those who linger. With its blend of history, culture, and modern charm, it's the kind of city where every street holds a story. Whether you're climbing the cathedral tower, tasting Gouden Carolus at Het Anker, or rediscovering childhood memories at the Toy Museum, Mechelen invites you to slow down and truly experience Belgium at its best.*We mention a few other Belgium episodes to go check out!

telefono.En: With a knowing smile, they exchanged phone numbers.It: Mentre Giulia si allontanava, sentiva crescere dentro di sé una nuova fiducia.En: As Giulia walked away, she felt a new confidence

    "Gratitude is the space where we humble ourselves to the blessing of life itself." From the jump, Mindful B Anthony sets the tone for a Detroit story rooted in legacy, resilience, and transformation. In this Detroit is Different conversation, he takes us on a journey from his family's four-generation hold on Van Dyke and Mack—where his grandmother insisted “this land will always have value”—to the bus routes that taught him the city block by block, and the classrooms that sparked his love for math, language, and purpose. He reflects on leaving Renaissance for Southeastern, catching the 6 Mile across town before dawn, and navigating Hampton University's business of education while rediscovering his true calling in healing, creativity, and entrepreneurship. What begins with childhood alley basketball games and honor roll trophies unfolds into a life of activism with We the People of Detroit, a mentorship lineage through Charity Hicks and Tawana Petty, and the artistry of copper and crystals turned into “energy tools disguised as jewelry.” This episode is a blueprint of how Black Detroit's past—our migrations, our neighborhood pride, our community organizing—feeds the future of culture creators who, like Anthony, are shaping new ways of living, healing, and building legacy. If you've ever wondered how Detroit blocks, schools, buses, and bands prepare us for the world stage, this is the conversation you need to hear.

    Send us a textWe tend to think of the Athenians as philosophers, architects, and mathematicians. But their highest devotion was rather to sports and to music. These priorities are evident from their system of education, in which young Greek men were trained to compete in the Olympics as well as to sing and dance in the chorus. They were jocks. Think of the tragic playwright Aeschylus, who despite his literary accomplishments was remembered in his epitaph merely as a warrior at the Battle of Marathon. A man's man. So when Socrates and the sophists came around, the defenders of old-style musical and athletic education scoffed at the sickly, ugly, and weak men that philosophical and rhetorical training produced: in other words, a bunch of nerds.

    C dans l'air du 1er octobre 2025 - Lecornu : pas de gouvernement et déjà un test dans la rueÀ peine nommé et déjà menacé. Alors qu'il devrait annoncer son nouveau gouvernement en fin de semaine, le Premier ministre Sébastien Lecornu voit peser sur lui la menace de la censure à deux semaines de l'examen par l'Assemblée nationale du projet de loi finances. Ces derniers jours, le nouveau locataire de Matignon a reçu les principales formations politiques, dont les socialistes avec qui il espère pactiser en vue d'éviter la censure. Pourtant, le représentant du PS est ressorti déçu des premières négociations. Vendredi, Sébastien Lecornu a confirmé dans le Parisien avoir écarté l'idée d'une taxe Zucman, le retour de l'Impôt sur la fortune ou la suspension de la réforme des retraites. "Si rien ne change, le résultat est déjà connu. Il y aura une censure, donc ce gouvernement tombera et il y aura vraisemblablement une dissolution", menace Olivier Faure, tandis que les députés Renaissance, dirigés par Gabriel Attal préparent déjà des élections législatives anticipées. Reste qu'il faut ménager le socle commun. Lundi, Sébastien Lecornu a dit que son futur gouvernement ferait des "propositions" de baisse d'impôts "notamment en faveur du travail".Dans l'attente d'une possible censure, les syndicats ne relâchent pas la pression et se préparent à une forte mobilisation jeudi, deux semaines après une première réussie (500 000 manifestants le 18 septembre). Les revendications des 8 organisations syndicales demeurent les mêmes : abandon du plan d'austérité de 44 milliards d'euros, suppression du report de l'âge à la retraite à 64 ans ou encore une meilleure justice fiscale. Parmi les principales figures de proue de ce mouvement, la secrétaire générale de la CGT, Sophie Binnet, mais aussi celle de la CFDT, Marylise Léon, réputée comme à l'écoute et mosdérée.Quand 68 % des Français se montrent favorables à la taxe Zucman, réclamée par la gauche, un homme s'y oppose. Entrepreneur ultralibéral, co-fondateur de la licorne Ledger, Eric Larchevêque veut alerter sur ce qu'il considère comme une mesure absurde. Selon lui, la plupart des entrepreneurs dont le patrimoine est composé d'actions, "c'est‑à‑dire en grande partie virtuel", seront incapables de payer cette taxe. Plus globalement, il estime que taxer davantage les riches ne changerait rien, car "la dette est colossale" et qu'un tel impôt ne ferait que fuir les chefs d'entreprises français.Sébastien Lecornu peut-il réussir à négocier un pacte de non censure avec la gauche ? Les syndicats peuvent-ils mettre davantage la pression sur le Premier ministre grâce à la mobilisation de demain ? Et pourquoi les entrepreneurs s'opposent à la taxe Zucman ?LES EXPERTS :- Jérôme JAFFRÉ - Politologue - Chercheur associé au CEVIPOF- Mathilde SIRAUD - Rédactrice en chef du service politique - Le Point- Fanny GUINOCHET - Éditorialiste économique - France Info- Jérôme FOURQUET - Directeur du département Opinion - Institut de sondages IFOP

    An ancient realm awakens. Somewhere between the living and the dead, a long forgotten forest begins to blossom. An exploration of loss, rebirth, and what awaits after death. A music driven short film that relies on imagery and sensation to convey meaning and suggest narrative. Even After (Prelude) was produced through digital paintings methodically rendered into photographic images with AI, custom small AI model creation for additional visuals, and original musical composition. The process used to create this film can be viewed here: https://youtu.be/y5VfbGxK1Iw https://www.instagram.com/anthony_leckie/ Director Statement I create music-driven short films that blend sculpture, painting, and AI to explore the inner landscape of self and the nature of a greater reality. My process begins with hand-sculpted digital characters and environments rooted in classical and Renaissance traditions. These are transformed into richly detailed, photorealistic visuals using AI tools — not to replace the artist's process, but to enrich it. I'm committed to exploring how AI can be used ethically in artmaking: not as a shortcut that erases creative work, but as a tool that preserves and amplifies the voice of the artist within a deeply intentional process. Original musical composition is the driving force of each piece. Rather than relying on dialogue or sound effects, I craft immersive scores that act as both the emotional anchor and the sonic identity of the world — shaping tone, pacing, and meaning. The music is not background; it is the pulse and spirit of the story. My films explore themes of death, transformation, memory, and the otherwordly. They often unfold in liminal and mythic spaces — haunted forests, vanished towns, thresholds of the afterlife — carried entirely by music, imagery, and movement. Blending conventional techniques with influences from silent film, experimental cinema, and works like Fantasia, my work exists between narrative and abstraction. It invites audiences to feel before they understand — to experience story as sensation — while redefining what cinematic language can be.

    When Shakespeare wrote Othello, he set his Moorish general against the “general enemy Ottoman.” Elsewhere in his plays, he invoked “Turks,” “Saracens,” and “infidels”—terms that reveal just how present the Islamic world was in the English imagination. From Elizabeth I's diplomatic exchanges with Persia to the cultural impact of the Ottoman Empire, the Islamic world loomed large in the politics, religion, and drama of Shakespeare's England.This week, we're joined by Dr. Chloe Houston (University of Reading), a leading authority on Persia in early modern drama, and Dr. Mark Hutchings (University of Valladolid), whose research explores England's engagement with Islam on the Renaissance stage. Together, they unpack how Elizabethans understood the Ottomans, Persians, and North Africans, and how those encounters shaped both history and Shakespeare's works.Discover how global trade, diplomacy, stereotypes, and real-life ambassadors influenced depictions of Moors, Persians, and “Turks” onstage, and why Shakespeare's audiences would have found these references powerful, familiar, and sometimes unsettling.Listen now and explore the fascinating world of Elizabethan encounters with Islam in Shakespeare's plays.

    Today, Ceri is joined by a man who doesn't just witness the future of art, he builds the infrastructure for it. Georg Bak is a pioneering digital art advisor and curator who's spent over two decades bridging the traditional and the digital. He has advised major collectors and museums, helped shape curatorial boards, and placed historically significant works into collections that matter. Georg is the co-founder of NFT Art Day and The Digital Art Mile, a boutique digital art fair that champions new ideas and new communities. He has curated landmark exhibitions, including the first-ever CryptoPunks show, and collaborated with Sotheby's, Phillips, and The Vancouver Biennale. Whether you're AI-averse or blockchain-curious, this episode's for the thinkers and deeply curious. KEY TAKEAWAYS Digital art does not replace traditional art; it is a powerful expansion of it that builds on the existing foundations. When collectors recognise that true innovation comes from artists who challenge perceptions and provoke thought instead of simply following trends, the art world thrives. Success in digital art is deeply connected to building and engaging with communities and network effects. Building lasting trust and relationships, educating and going deeper on fewer pieces of work is leading to success. AI is opening up possibilities that are comparable in impact to the Renaissance. AI-driven tools are not only expanding artistic expression but also challenging traditional boundaries, making this a pivotal era for both artists and collectors. BEST MOMENTS “I think what makes maybe the difference is that the success of an artist is based on this community… The bigger the network behind an artist the more successful they are going to be.” “I would inspire everyone to open their eyes and be curious, instead of being against everything that's new.” “The most interesting artworks, they're not easy to understand in the beginning.” “Art isn't static, it's a system, a signal, a story still unfolding.” EPISODE RESOURCES https://www.linkedin.com/in/georgbak PODCAST HOST BIO With over 35 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events.

    Dave Brisbin 9.28.25 If you want to protect and consolidate any institution, church, or state, the most effective one-two punch is to stigmatize doubt and proclaim dogma—belief accepted just because authority says so…which stigmatizes common sense. Then with enough power, you outlaw doubt and common sense altogether. Just about every religion and every political institution has done it. If we're paying attention, it's happening all around us. Orwell enshrined it in his novel 1984, though he was just mirroring totalitarian societies eighty years ago. For 300 years after the crucifixion, everyone following Jesus was trying to interpret what he and his teachings meant theologically and personally. No one was in control, so no official dogma, but competing doctrines were everywhere, causing so much division that Emperor Constantine called the first church council in 325 CE. Christian orthodoxy was born, and with Roman power, the church enforced it. Apostle Thomas was marginalized as Doubting Thomas for being honest and courageous enough to demand his own personal experience, that he couldn't base his faith on second-hand reports. Doubt and common sense are our only footholds against a slide into superstition. Scripture is careful to include the doubt that every hero of faith—from Abram to Moses to Apostles—used to springboard to the action of authentic faith. There is no faith without doubt, just as there is no courage without fear. Jesus had his moments of doubt and used the common sense of love-in-action to guide his people past prevailing dogma and practice to their own personal experience of God. Some say human societies reset every 500 years. Five hundredish years ago, we in the West experienced Renaissance, Reformation, Enlightenment, a time of great doubt and questioning. We are going through just such a time now with science, technology, and politics pulling every existential thread. Jesus also lived in such a time, modeled and gave us permission to question, to use doubt and common sense to build a first-hand faith never dependent on ignorance or capitulation…as essential to us as it is threatening to those in power.

    True North with Dave Brisbin
    Doubt and Common Sense

    Dave Brisbin 9.28.25 If you want to protect and consolidate any institution, church, or state, the most effective one-two punch is to stigmatize doubt and proclaim dogma—belief accepted just because authority says so…which stigmatizes common sense. Then with enough power, you outlaw doubt and common sense altogether. Just about every religion and every political institution has done it. If we're paying attention, it's happening all around us. Orwell enshrined it in his novel 1984, though he was just mirroring totalitarian societies eighty years ago. For 300 years after the crucifixion, everyone following Jesus was trying to interpret what he and his teachings meant theologically and personally. No one was in control, so no official dogma, but competing doctrines were everywhere, causing so much division that Emperor Constantine called the first church council in 325 CE. Christian orthodoxy was born, and with Roman power, the church enforced it. Apostle Thomas was marginalized as Doubting Thomas for being honest and courageous enough to demand his own personal experience, that he couldn't base his faith on second-hand reports. Doubt and common sense are our only footholds against a slide into superstition. Scripture is careful to include the doubt that every hero of faith—from Abram to Moses to Apostles—used to springboard to the action of authentic faith. There is no faith without doubt, just as there is no courage without fear. Jesus had his moments of doubt and used the common sense of love-in-action to guide his people past prevailing dogma and practice to their own personal experience of God. Some say human societies reset every 500 years. Five hundredish years ago, we in the West experienced Renaissance, Reformation, Enlightenment, a time of great doubt and questioning. We are going through just such a time now with science, technology, and politics pulling every existential thread. Jesus also lived in such a time, modeled and gave us permission to question, to use doubt and common sense to build a first-hand faith never dependent on ignorance or capitulation…as essential to us as it is threatening to those in power.
