Kathleen Miller talks about her new edited volume, Doctrine and Disease in British and Spanish Colonial World (Penn State University Press, 2025). In the sixteenth century, unprecedented migration caused diseases to take hold in new locales, turning illness and the human body into battlegrounds for competing religious beliefs as well as the colonial agendas they were often ensnared in.This interdisciplinary volume follows the contours of illness, epidemics, and cures in the early modern British and Spanish Empires as these were understood in religious terms. Each chapter of this volume centers on a key moment during this period of remarkable upheaval, including Jesuit co-optation of Indigenous knowledge in Peru, the Catholic Church's dissemination of the smallpox vaccine across the Spanish Empire, Puritan collective fasting during smallpox outbreaks, and the practice of eating dirt as Obeah resistance among enslaved people in Jamaica. Throughout, the contributors explore how the porous geographical borders of the transatlantic world meant medicine and religion were translated through and against each other, over and over again. Residing at the nexus between two largely discrete areas of inquiry, this collection provides significant insight into the numerous points of juncture between medicine and religion in the Atlantic world. In addition to the editor, the contributors to this volume include Matthew James Crawford, Rana A. Hogarth, Crawford Gribben, Philippa Koch, Allyson M. Poska, Catherine Reedy, and Rebecca Totaro.

Residing for many years in Slanesville, West Virginia, the Atkins family is thrilled to welcome the Voit family to the area when they move in next door. The neighbors, including their teenage children, get along great and socialize frequently. When the Atkins family dog is injured, the Voits even lend them money for the vet bills. But when the Voits get a dog of their own, and one of the Atkins' goats is found dead, patriarch Ray Atkins contends the Voits' dog is the culprit. The Voits hotly deny it. Later, a shot rings out in the middle of the night and the Voit pet goes missing. Howls of accusations and denial fly across property lines.

We are exposed to a lot of information about the economy and markets. Much of it is useless. It's also very short-term focused. Mick's goal has been to cut through the noise and mellow people out as it relates to their money. In his book, Chapter 4 is about the man who did everything wrong and one who did everything right. The key to remember as you're reading this chapter (or listening to this conversation about it) is that we all have the psychological potential within us to be either person. Mr. Wrong initially chose an advisor who was known for putting all eggs into one basket, and when that basket (bonds) went down, he switched to Mick's firm. When Mick's firm started rebalancing into stocks and stocks went down, Mr. Wrong changed course again. This story leads to a spirited discussion about diversification. One way to manage expectations is to speak of hypotheticals in real dollar values instead of percentages. The couple that did everything right, on the other hand, chose to take a conservative approach to diversification. They understood what could happen to the value of their portfolio upon a downtown. When one came, they decided to buy even more stocks. In the end, they didn't draw down their principle at all over the course of their whole retirement! In order to behave like the folks who did everything right, the most important thing to do is get started. Invest what you can. Try your best to understand your own risk tolerance. Over time, re-balance your portfolio if you ideal allocation becomes skewed when one asset class has been up over time. Mick reminds us that when investing with an advisor to pay attention to fees. And he closes by letting us know that our experiences can be life tuition. Try to look at it that way.If you liked this episode, you'll also like episode 168: Keep Finance Personal: Get Your Time, Energy & Financials Right.About Mick:Mick Heyman, CFA, is the author of “Mellow Your Money: How to Surf the Market and Build Wealth without Stressing Yourself Out” and the Founder of Heyman Investment Counseling.

The Nazca lines have become famous over the years for their mysterious origins and purpose.  Residing in the high desert in Southern Peru, the lines were created by removing the top layer of desert rocks, exposing the different colored clay beneath.  Some of the lines appear to be an astronomical calendar, some are drawings of birds and beasts, and some seem to have no known purpose. The mystery of their purpose has led to them becoming a favorite topic of the pseudoscience community in recent decades as evidence of ancient aliens.  Take a listen and see what we do know about them, when they were made, and what their purpose might be.

If this book was made into a movie it would be scary as hell! My special guest is author Gare Allen who's here to discuss is book based on the real-life paranormal experiences of a veteran detective.   Paranormal activity isn't limited to missing household items, strange knocking on the walls and glimpses of transparent images out of the corner of our eyes. Sometimes, the activity is aggressive, harmful and even fatal. Thanks to paranormal investigators, psychics and mediums and people willing to openly share their experiences, our awareness of other-worldly beings has expanded. Over the years, law enforcement personnel have experienced their share of paranormal encounters but weren't always willing to face potential ridicule at their admission. Today, the occurrence of the unnatural is so prevalent that official police cases have a designated code to define a crime's paranormal element.Ghost Crimes chronicles the crime investigation cases of Detective Burke. Residing in central Florida, Burke is driven by his sworn duty to protect the innocent, especially children. A possession case in June of 1996 finds him face-to-face with the paranormal world. He struggles to make sense of the unbelievable event and many more to come. Paranormal author Gare Allen is the author of the best-seller, The Dead: A True Paranormal Story.Follow Our Other ShowsFollow UFO WitnessesFollow Crime Watch WeeklyFollow Paranormal FearsFollow Seven: Disturbing Chronicle StoriesJoin our Patreon for ad-free listening and more bonus content.Follow us on Instagram @mysteriousradioFollow us on TikTok mysteriousradioTikTok Follow us on Twitter @mysteriousradio Follow us on Pinterest pinterest.com/mysteriousradio Like us on Facebook Facebook.com/mysteriousradio]
