Isobel McMahon messaged on Patreon: "I appreciate this clear statement on AI." Jordan Reeder sent a photo: "Hi, just wanted to show what I was doing while enjoying the awesome music on the podcast… one of these days I'd love to submit some of my music. Maybe after I chop my way through this pile of firewood! Alex Meyers emailed from Toronto: "Politically neutral Irish music does not exist. Hi Marc, I started listening to the podcast seven years ago as I took my newborn son for long walks with wireless speakers perched on his stroller so he could listen too. Now with two boys we frequently listen while we have breakfast. In a recent episode you responded to yet another listener who told you to stick to music and leave the politics alone. I am always impressed by how resolute you are in the face of these cynics, you never try to soften the message of peace, compassion, and inclusion. Also, I've always found it hilariously ironic that someone would say "leave out the politics" about IRISH music, 1/3 of all Irish songs are about oppression and kicking out the British. Have these people never listened to The Wolfe Tones or The Cranberries? Speaking of which, I highly recommend you check out the Irish rap group Kneecap. They perform in Irish/Gaeilge and English and deserve massive credit for popularizing Gaeilge. They are firmly on the side of the oppressed from Ireland to Palestine and their latest album is "Fenian", which should tell you something about their politics. Keep up the great work!"  

Before the Hearsts and the Pulitzers, before the front page as we know it, the American newspaper was built by teenagers covered in soot, women who risked hanging, and editors who settled arguments with pistols. Alex Wright joins Blaine DeSantis to talk about Empire of Ink, his sweeping history of how a young republic printed itself into existence between the 1700s and the close of the 1800s. It's a project that started as a personal search into Wright's own family of country newspaper publishers in Georgia and turned into fifteen years of research.The conversation moves fast and covers ground most newspaper histories skip entirely. Wright explains what a printer's devil actually was and why the job cut a man's life expectancy in half. He tells the story of the entrepreneur who imported Egyptian mummies by the boatload because their wrappings were cheaper than American rags, and the French naturalist who watched wasps chew wood into pulp and wondered whether people could do the same thing. There's Mary Katherine Goddard, whose name appears at the bottom of the first Declaration of Independence to carry the signers' names, an act she knew could be read as treason. There's the Vicksburg Sentinel, which burned through eight editors in roughly a dozen years, several of whom died in the line of duty.Wright also takes us to the corners of the story that shaped whole communities. The Cherokee Phoenix, published in an alphabet invented from scratch by Sequoyah, became a political voice for the Cherokee people until their press was taken from them. In San Francisco, Yee Gen hand-built a workaround for printing thousands of Chinese characters and launched the first Chinese American paper. Union soldiers carried portable presses into camp and printed papers with blank pages so the men could write home on the other side. And a young Samuel Clemens swept floors as a print shop apprentice before he ever thought to call himself Mark Twain. If you have ever suspected that today's media chaos is something new, this episode is a useful corrective.

A talk with trailblazing author Michael Gross - Jane's very special guest today is Michael Gross, the New York Times best-selling author of acclaimed books that explore the hidden worlds of wealth, power, privilege, and the people who shape them. With a career spanning decades in investigative journalism and social history, his celebrated works—including 740 Park, House of Outrageous Fortune, Rogues' Gallery, Focus, and Flight of the WASP—have earned him a reputation for uncovering the untold stories behind America's most influential families, institutions, and cultural icons. His newest book, Treasured Island: The Story of St. Barth... and Its Barbarians, Billionaires, and Beauties, traces the remarkable transformation of the once-sleepy Caribbean island of St. Barth into an international playground for billionaires, celebrities, and royalty. Filled with unforgettable characters, hidden history, and surprising revelations, Michael's latest masterpiece is a fascinating exploration of the intersection of wealth, fame, ambition, and paradise. Among the many topics discussed, Michael also reflects on who first inspired him to become a journalist and author, the advice he offers aspiring writers, what drew him from reporting on fashion and real estate to chronicling old-money families, and now the allure of St. Barts. He also shares what continues to fascinate and motivate him after an extraordinary career. All in all, it's a captivating conversation with one of the world's most prolific and respected authors.

For the latest podcast Ali caught up with returning guest Olga Wojtas to talk about the latest in her Miss Blaine's Prefect series of novels, Miss Blaine's Prefect and the Parcel of Rogues.Olga explains the unusual premise of the series, and exactly who Miss Blaine's Prefect, aka Shona McMonagle, is, and how she came to find herself (spoiler alert - not really) travelling time.The two then discuss why Olga set this latest book in Enlightenment Edinburgh, writing about, and subverting, real historical characters including Robert Burns and Walter Scott, as well as other Enlightenment figures such as Adam Smith, Joseph Black, Henry Mackenzie, and Adam Ferguson, and why she wanted to investigate this time and place in particular.They also talk about the changing face of Edinburgh as a city over the centuries, before Olga details the research behind the novel and what she learnt about her home city.It's always a pleasure to have a chat with Olga who is great company, and we hope this comes across in this episode. If you aren't yet a fan of Miss Blaine's Prefect then we hope this will convince you to get acquainted. And if you are already a regular reader then this will remind you why, and, as an enticement to listen to the end, we also get to learn a little more about Miss Blaine herself!For full details, and all the ways to listen, head over to scotswhayhae.com

How did a nation with less than 5% of the world's population come to publish over half of all the newspapers? This week Author Alex Wright discusses his new book, Empire of Ink: The Printers, Rogues, and Radicals Who Invented the American Newspaper. Wright takes us on a journey through the explosive, footloose growth of 19th-century American print media. From the early "gift economy" of open-source story sharing and the lucrative media empire of Benjamin Franklin, to the dangerous world of gunslinging editors and Mark Twain's disastrous tech investments, Wright details how an unruly young democracy leveraged bold public policies and a distinct mania for news to forge its national identity.

Once the table finally escapes the opening chaos and cat crimes, Tyler, Randall, and Ash dive into Pathfinder 2e rogues, proving that the class is not just a sneaky knife gremlin. It is also a walking toolbox, a social menace, a battlefield problem, and so much more Show Notes This episode begins the RPGBOT.Podcast breakdown of Pathfinder 2e rogues, covering levels 1 through 10 and exploring how the class develops from nimble opportunist into a precision-damage nightmare with more skills than common sense. Tyler, Randall, and Ash each bring a different rogue racket to the table, with Tyler building a Mastermind, Ash building a Scoundrel, and Randall building a Ruffian. The conversation starts with the rogue's core identity: Sneak Attack, off-guard targets, excellent skills, strong Reflex saves, and the sheer absurdity of getting skill increases and skill feats constantly. The hosts explain how Pathfinder rogues differ from their 5e cousins, especially around precision damage, surprise attack, and how off-guard creates the opening rogues need to ruin someone's day. From there, the builds split into very different flavors of criminal excellence. Ash's Catfolk Scoundrel leans into Feint, Deception, diversions, social trickery, and making enemies easier to stab, hide from, or fireball. Tyler's Fetchling Mastermind turns Recall Knowledge into a combat engine, using information as a weapon and building toward automatic knowledge checks, scroll utility, and ranged support. Randall's Human Ruffian takes the direct approach with medium armor, intimidation, two-weapon tricks, gang-up tactics, and eventually debilitation options that make the whole party better at hurting things. Along the way, the hosts cover important rogue build choices including ancestry feats, racket features, armor considerations, weapon selection, class feats, general feats, and the sometimes painful reality that not every tempting rogue feat is worth taking. Twist the Knife gets called out as a trap compared to easier bleed options, while Gang Up, Analyze Weakness, Clever Gambit, Distracting Feint, Dazzling Diversion, Predictive Purchase, and racket-specific debilitations all get time in the spotlight. The episode closes by emphasizing that while these builds are combat-focused, rogues are not limited to combat. With their enormous number of skill feats and skill increases, rogues can be investigators, con artists, diplomats, criminals, spies, consultants, bullies, burglars, or social wrecking balls. In true RPGBOT fashion, the takeaway is clear: you can optimize the stabbing, but you still have plenty of room left to optimize the nonsense. Key Takeaways Pathfinder 2e rogues are skill monsters. They gain more skill increases and skill feats than almost anyone else, making them great in combat, exploration, social encounters, and weird niche problem-solving. Sneak Attack is the rogue's core damage feature, but it depends on the target being off-guard and on using the right kinds of weapons or attacks. Surprise Attack helps rogues get Sneak Attack early in combat by making creatures off-guard if the rogue rolls Deception or Stealth for initiative and acts before them. Rogue rackets dramatically change how the class plays. Scoundrels manipulate enemies with Feint and Deception, Masterminds weaponize Recall Knowledge, and Ruffians use intimidation, armor, and heavier weapons to bully the battlefield. Ash's Scoundrel build focuses on Charisma, Feint, Deception, and making enemies vulnerable through off-guard, dazzled, Reflex penalties, and tactical debilitations. Tyler's Mastermind build turns Recall Knowledge into a combat strategy, using it to make enemies off-guard, trigger extra movement, support allies, and set up extra damage through Analyze Weakness. Randall's Ruffian build leans into durability, melee pressure, medium armor, intimidation, Gang Up, and debilitation options that add weaknesses or penalties to enemies. Medium armor can work for a rogue, especially a Ruffian, but noisy armor is a bad idea if you still want to sneak. Weapon choice matters. Kukris, shortbows, agile and finesse weapons, and qualifying Ruffian weapons all interact differently with Sneak Attack and critical specialization. Analyze Weakness is a strong rogue feat for builds that can reliably identify enemies, adding extra precision-style damage when the rogue wants one hit to matter more. Gang Up is excellent for melee rogues because it makes off-guard easier to trigger without needing perfect flanking positions. Twist the Knife sounds fun, but the hosts flag it as a trap because weapon runes can often provide better bleed damage with less action cost. Debilitating Strike at level 9 is a major rogue power bump, letting Sneak Attack also impose conditions like speed penalties or enfeebled. Level 10 racket-specific debilitations make rogues even nastier. Masterminds gain support-focused options, Ruffians can add damage weaknesses or clumsy, and Scoundrels can shut down reactions or flanking. The builds in this episode are combat-focused, but rogues can easily become outstanding social and exploration characters because they have so many skill feats to spend. Rogues are not just sneaky stabbers. They can be detectives, con artists, crime lords, rich bullies, diplomats, vault testers, information brokers, and every other flavor of charming disaster.

What can the history of newspapers teach us about today's media landscape?In the latest episode of A Book with Legs, Smead Capital Management CEO and Portfolio Manager C. W. Smead, CFA is joined by author Alex Wright to discuss his book, Empire of Ink: The Printers, Rogues, and Radicals Who Invented the American Newspaper.Cole and Alex trace the evolution of American newspapers from the Revolutionary era through the rise of mass media, exploring how technological disruption, government policy, advertising, and human behavior shaped the way information spread. They also discuss the parallels between the early newspaper industry and today's digital media ecosystem.Sign up to be notified about new episodes: https://hubs.ly/Q0452V800

When asked about the Declaration of Independence, most Americans quote memorable phrases from the preamble. “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”But historian Robert Parkinson says even Thomas Jefferson, who penned those words, would be puzzled by our preoccupation with the introduction when the grievances that make up the body of the Declaration were the meat of the document. Parkinson's new book, “Tyrants and Rogues,” is a deep dive into those grievances — and the villains of the Revolutionary period who spurred them. “Americans are throwing a temper tantrum here, because they feel like their father has betrayed them,” he tells Kerri Miller on this week's Big Books and Bold Ideas. It's a conversation set in 1776 with implications for 2026 — a launch into a month of books that commemorates America's 250th anniversary.Guest:Robert Parkinson is a historian and professor at Binghamton University in New York. His new book is “Tyrants and Rogues: Understanding the Declaration of Independence.”Subscribe to the Thread newsletter for the latest book and author news and must-read recommendations.Subscribe to Big Books and Bold Ideas with Kerri Miller on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, RSS or anywhere you get your podcasts.

In 'Tyrants and Rogues: Understanding the Declaration of Independence,' Robert Parkinson argues that the document's often-overlooked list of grievances against King George III reveals what truly drove the Revolution and why independence became inevitable.Annette Gordon-Reed is a 'New York Times'–bestselling historian and the Carl M. Loeb University Professor at Harvard University. Her books include 'The Hemingses of Monticello: An American Family,' which won the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award and 'Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings: An American Controversy.' Her latest is a volume she edited, 'Jefferson on Race: A Reader.'

It's the June Q&A on Open Book, and you came at me with everything this month: aliens, whether there's a reckoning coming when Trump's term ends, and the honest reason it took me so long to break from him. I'm dodging none of it, plus I'm handing you a summer's worth of book recommendations. Keep the questions coming in the comments.

As America approaches the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, historian Robert G. Parkinson joins Speaking of Writers to discuss his groundbreaking new book, Tyrants and Rogues: Understanding the Declaration of Independence. This is a part of The Speaking of Writers special America 250 series.Rather than focusing on the Declaration's famous preamble, Parkinson takes readers inside the twenty-seven grievances that formed the heart of the document and explains why those complaints against King George III and the British government drove the colonies toward independence.Discover the forgotten figures, political battles, and explosive events that shaped America's founding—and why many of those issues remain relevant today.#SpeakingOfWriters #RobertGParkinson #TyrantsAndRogues #DeclarationOfIndependence #AmericanRevolution #America250 #HistoryPodcast #FoundingFathers #USHistory #BookPodcast

Welcome to another episode of BREAKING Protocol, our ongoing mini-series where we break down key updates and design questions straight from the development of SHADE Protocol. Today, we're talking about a brand-new enemy type: the Xavior Rogues — fast, aggressive frontline assassins designed specifically to keep pace with Zura as her mobility and combat abilities continue to evolve. These aren't massive bosses. They aren't gimmick enemies. And they definitely aren't Snacklets. The Rogues are meant to represent something different: enemies that make standard combat feel thrilling all on their own.⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/LittleLegendaryGames?utm_source=linktree_profile_share⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Host: Jared Gonzalez.

“Narrative remains a pretty unbeatable delivery device for information.” — Patrick Radden Keefe Has London really fallen? That's the question Patrick Radden Keefe — staff writer at The New Yorker and bestselling author of Empire of Pain and Say Nothing — addressed in his new book, London Falling: A Mysterious Death in a Gilded City and a Family's Search for Truth. One thing for sure is that Keefe himself hasn't fallen. He's been surprised by the book's success. “I thought the antibodies would get up because I'm an interloper,” the American confesses about writing about Britain. Antibodies or not, the book has been a #1 bestseller in both the UK and US. And we can look forward to an A24 and Brightstar TV adaptation soon. On London, the story is murkier. London Falling begins on November 29, 2019, when nineteen-year-old Zac Brettler falls to his death from a luxury apartment above the Thames. Every parent's ultimate nightmare. As it happens, I've known Zac's dad, Matthew, for many years. But what appeared to be a tragic accident or a suicide turned out to be something far more sinister — a story of double lives, dirty money, a dishonest businessman named Akbar Shamji, and a terrifyingly violent gangster known as Indian Dave. Lurking behind the Brettler death is what Keefe presents as the greatest deceit of all — London's cruel descent into what he sees as the moneyed miasma of post-Thatcherite neo-liberalism. London is, in Keefe's compelling narrative, the most invisible of cities — where power lies with criminals like Indian Dave, where the police are at best bystanders, and where a teenage fantasist from a comfortable middle-class family can become fatally entangled in a fallen world he barely understood. Five Takeaways •       Zac Brettler: The Double Life That Led to His Death: Zac Brettler was nineteen years old. He fell — or was pushed, or was forced to jump — from a luxury apartment balcony above the Thames on November 29, 2019. He had been living a double life: to London's criminal underworld, he was Zac Ismailov, the son of a Russian oligarch, heir to a great fortune. He had even fabricated bank statements showing a personal account holding $1 million. Under this guise, he became entangled with Akbar Shamji, a slippery businessman, and a man known as Indian Dave, a violent extortionist. Keefe's reporting suggests Zac jumped to escape from one of these men. Scotland Yard's passivity in investigating the case is, in Keefe's word, bizarre. •       London as a Twenty-Four-Hour Laundromat for Dirty Money: Keefe's portrait of London is the book's macro argument: a global city that has been hollowed out by decades of financial deregulation, whose financial sector is stacked with professional facilitators eager to help protect or conceal a dubious fortune, where posh mansions and private nightclubs serve as the visible surface of a hidden economy of criminal money. Zac Brettler was not rich. He was a boy from a comfortably off family who became fixated on the glitzy, mercenary, aspirational culture embodied by foreign billionaires who had bought mansions and football clubs in his city. London, in Keefe's telling, did this to him. •       The Brettlers' Consent: A Long Haul With the Family: Keefe had written 15,000 words for The New Yorker when he knew there was a book. He went to Matthew and Rochelle Brettler and their surviving son Joe and told them: I will only do this with your blessing. They read the finished piece, talked amongst themselves, and came back with a yes. Keefe's method: he is an open book; he invites sources to read his previous work. It took him an LSE graduate who became one of the most trusted journalists in the world to persuade a devastated family to trust him with their son's story. They made the right decision. •       Narrative as Delivery Device: Keefe's Method: Keefe on why he writes the way he writes: everyone has a phone in their pocket making claims on their attention. Narrative — true stories about real people, told with enough seductive propulsive energy — remains the most powerful way to convey information, to make someone who would not otherwise read nonfiction want to keep turning pages. He is looking, always, for inherently dramatic stories. London Falling is that: a whodunit, a parental love story, a portrait of a corrupted city, and a thriller, all in one book. The New York Times described the whole book as one of the best of 2026 so far. •       The Television Adaptation: A24, Brightstar, and the Lessons of Say Nothing: A24 and Brightstar are producing the television adaptation of London Falling. Five production companies had to audition for the Brettlers over Zoom. The family is involved. Keefe knows from Say Nothing — which took five years from book to screen and won awards as an FX series — that this cannot go on autopilot. The aim: something sophisticated, sensitive, and just to the family's story. The first word on the Mill Hill School website is “integrity.” Whether that word will survive contact with a television adaptation remains to be seen. About the Guest Patrick Radden Keefe is a staff writer at The New Yorker and the author of London Falling: A Mysterious Death in a Gilded City and a Family's Search for Truth (Doubleday, April 7, 2026; #1 New York Times bestseller), Empire of Pain: The Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty (winner of the Baillie Gifford Prize), Say Nothing: A True Story of Murder and Memory in Northern Ireland (National Book Critics Circle Award; named one of the twenty best books of the 21st century by the New York Times), Rogues, and Chatter. He is the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship, the National Magazine Award, and the Orwell Prize. He served as executive producer on the award-winning FX series Say Nothing and is the creator and host of the podcast Wind of Change. References: •       London Falling: A Mysterious Death in a Gilded City and a Family's Search for Truth by Patrick Radden Keefe (Doubleday, April 7, 2026). •       Empire of Pain: The Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty by Patrick Radden Keefe — referenced at the opening. •       Say Nothing (FX series, executive produced by Keefe) — referenced in the closing section. •       Andrew O'Hagan, Caledonian Road — referenced as covering similar London territory in fiction. •       A24 and Brightstar — the production companies making the London Falling television adaptatio...

In this episode of Rogues in the House, Logan, Matt, and James talk about the importance of POV as it related to Sword & Sorcery and Dark Fantasy. If you can't iron down your point-of-view, then you've got a pile of garbage no matter how good the prose is. They talk about different styles of POV, multiple POV, psychic distance, and the purpose of a narrator.Bazaar Picks:Blue Fire (Jirel): https://www.backerkit....​Kingdoms Trembling: https://dmrbooks.com/k...​The Darkest Deep: https://amzn.to/4vlLyVt​HAWK THOSE WARESHonor Among Rogues: https://amzn.to/3PM0uwH​JANGAR!: https://amzn.to/4dwXsFD​Logan's Substack: https://ldwhitney.subs...​The Weight of a Torch: https://thearcanist.ne...​SOIL: https://magazine.thear...​Arcanist Magazines: https://www.backerkit....​James's Substack: https://jdmauthor.subs...​Cormac MacArt: https://www.penguinran...​To Walk on Worlds: https://a.co/d/0iM8Ufoq​Matt's Substack: https://matthewjohnaut...​

Welcome to another episode of BREAKING Protocol, our ongoing mini-series where we break down key updates and design questions straight from the development of SHADE Protocol. Today's episode focuses on a brand-new enemy type that looks like it could tear straight through a fortress wall: the Xavior Boltknight. These massive breacher-class enemies are built around one terrifying idea: What if a walking siege weapon hunted you down with a giant screw the size of your body? The Boltknight introduces a different kind of combat pressure than some of the faster enemies we've seen recently. While enemies like the Rogues are designed to stick to the player constantly, the Boltknight seems focused on raw force, area control, and devastating impact.⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/LittleLegendaryGames?utm_source=linktree_profile_share⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Host: Jared Gonzalez.

Winters Artist: Leomacs Publisher: Oni Press Cover Price: $24.99 More than just a writer, more than just a science-fiction icon, Benjamin J. Carp was a cultural revolutionary. Over the course of 44 novels and hundreds of short stories—including the counterculture classic The Man They Couldn't Erase—Carp pushed the boundaries of literary respectability for the sci-fi genre and his readers' perception of reality itself . . . until decades of amphetamine abuse and Southern California excess finally ended a mind-bending career that always just escaped mainstream success. He died in 1982. Until 2025 . . . when Benjamin J. Carp awakens, alive, in a burned-out motel on the fringes of Los Angeles. He remembers dying. He knows he shouldn't exist. Is he a dream? A robot? A ghost? A clone? A simulation? In his own time, Carp pondered all of these scenarios through his fiction—and now, as he treks from Studio City to Venice Beach and onward into the paranoid sprawl of 21st-century Los Angeles, he will be called to investigate his greatest mystery yet: himself. From Edgar Award nominee and Philip K. Dick Award winner Ben H. Winters (EC's Cruel Universe, The Last Policeman trilogy) and rising star Leomacs (EC's Epitaphs from the Abyss, Ghostlore) comes a uniquely fascinating and hilariously deranged excursion into the metatextual nexus where existence and oblivion, past and future, genius and madness, and glitter and grim reality all meet just beyond Hollywood Boulevard.

In 1981, National Public Radio turned the biggest movie in the world into a thirteen-episode radio epic that went on to break the network's listening records. George Lucas sold the rights for a single dollar and handed over the original sound effects and John Williams' score, letting a full cast bring the galaxy to life in sound alone. Mark Hamill and Anthony Daniels reprised Luke Skywalker and C-3PO in a sweeping retelling that expands well beyond the film — the original Star Wars as you've never heard it.Look for this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Amazon Music, Pandora, TuneIn Radio, and other podcast apps.

Read transcriptThe year was 2006. The Game Boy Advance was winding down, the Justice League animated series had wrapped up, and someone at WayForward Technologies looked at a tiny handheld screen and said, “You know what this needs? The Flash. Running very fast. On a cartridge the size of a business card.” And honestly? Bold decision. Justice League Heroes: The Flash took the Game Boy Advance, the beloved animated series, and a Justice League comic run and asked the eternal question: how many Rogues can you stuff into a handheld beat-em-up before the whole thing starts wobbling? This episode, we're finding out. We're covering the comics, the game, the cartoon connections, and whether Barry Allen or Wally West gets more respect in a world that keeps giving them both the speed force and zero chill. Joining us to run this whole thing down is Marrilee O'Neil from Fear Coded, who brings exactly the right energy for a conversation about a game that moves fast and expects you to keep up. So strap in, try not to blink, and let's do this before the Flash gets impatient and reruns the episode himself. Learn such things as: Why couldn't this have just been part of Justice League Heroes? What is the best way to experience time manipulation? Does it really matter if you get to play as Wally or Barry here? And so much more!

Today, Matt is joined by our new cohost, James D. Mills and friend of the show, Luana Saitta, who just released an urban S&S novella. In this episode, we discuss our shift to video and the future of the show. Then, we talk the nuance that comes with city settings in Sword & Sorcery tales. May your swords stay sharp!

The fantasy world was doing just fine. Wizards were arguing about spell slots. Fighters were polishing swords. Rogues were stealing absolutely everything not nailed down. Then somebody invented firearms. Now the wizard wants an arcane revolver, the artificer is building a rifle powered by dragon crystals, and the fighter has spent twenty minutes explaining why attaching a bayonet to a musket absolutely still counts as melee combat. Progress is inevitable. Chaos is optional. Players will choose chaos every time. Show Notes This episode dives into one of the most divisive and surprisingly fun topics in tabletop RPG design: firearms. We explore what happens when black powder, pistols, muskets, revolvers, and magical weapons enter worlds traditionally ruled by swords and spellbooks. The answer is not simply bigger damage numbers. Firearms change the entire feel of a setting. We dig into how guns influence worldbuilding, tone, and gameplay. A lone flintlock in a low fantasy campaign tells a very different story than enchanted firearms in a magitech world. The conversation expands into how technology reshapes societies, military power, adventuring groups, and even the place of magic itself. The episode also looks at practical considerations for GMs and players. We discuss balancing firearms mechanically, deciding how common they should be, and avoiding the trap of letting realism overwhelm gameplay. Sometimes the important question is not whether firearms belong in fantasy. It is what kind of fantasy world they create. Whether you are building a black powder campaign, introducing fantasy gunslingers, or creating magical firearms powered by spells and crystals, this episode explores ways to make firearms feel intentional and exciting at the table. Key Takeaways Firearms affect setting design as much as combat rules. The rarity and availability of guns heavily influence world tone. Black powder weapons create a very different atmosphere than magitech firearms. Introducing firearms changes warfare, economics, and social structures. Balance should focus on gameplay experience rather than strict realism. Reload mechanics and weapon limitations help preserve design space. Magical firearms create new character options without replacing classic fantasy roles. GMs should establish expectations for firearms early in campaign planning. Different RPG systems support firearms in different ways. Every firearm added to a setting raises bigger questions about technology and progress. Welcome to the RPGBOT Podcast.

Most Americans think of the Declaration through its famous preamble “all men are created equal,” “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” But those lines were not the main event for the people who wrote the document. What mattered most to the patriots in 1776 were the 27 grievances against King George III that make up the bulk of the Declaration and explain why the colonies believed independence had become unavoidable. In Tyrants and Rogues, Parkinson brings those grievances to life by reconstructing the real events, conflicts, and personalities behind them from royal governors and British officials to the dramatic confrontations that pushed the colonies toward rebellion. The result is a vivid new account of the Revolutionary era that reveals the founders not just as philosophers but as political actors responding to specific crises and decisions by identifiable figures in the British government. By revisiting the grievances themselves, Parkinson answers questions that are often overlooked: Why did the colonies declare independence when they did? What were their nonnegotiable demands? And which individuals and events convinced them that reconciliation with Britain was impossible? The stories behind those charges explain the political tensions, fears, and conflicts of the Revolutionary moment and show how the issues that alarmed colonists in 1776, including questions about executive power, civil authority, and the rule of law, still resonate today.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

In the words of the Los Angeles Times, “A new book by (Patrick Radden) Keefe means drop everything and close the blinds; you'll be turning pages for hours.” Keefe is an award-winning investigative journalist, a staff writer at the New Yorker, the creator of a popular podcast, and the author of six books, including the bestsellers Rogues, Empire of Pain, and Say Nothing. “When I go out looking for a good story,” says Keefe, “I almost never find one. Instead, the really good ones tend to fall in my lap.” Say Nothing was prompted by reading an obituary. A wild-seeming rumor about the 90's heavy metal band The Scorpions led to the podcast Wind of Change, a sweeping tale of government secrets, Soviet spies, propaganda, and 90's power ballads. To call his research “meticulous” is an understatement. Keefe's book, Snakehead, required over 300 interviews to complete. Say Nothing found him speaking to thousands of sources. While writing about the opioid epidemic in EMPIRE OF PAIN, Keefe was blocked from speaking to the Sackler family, so instead, he amassed thousands of correspondences from personal emails to Bar Mitzvah announcements. Though Keefe's doggedness recalls the detective stories that inspired him early on, he is perhaps more hopeful than hardboiled. By approaching those forces that appear too vast to unravel, he proves that even institutions and systems that seem unassailable can, in fact, be broken down and examined—one interview, one receipt, one wedding invitation at a time. Like all the great whodunnits, his books contain breathtaking plot twists. Though he has, on at least one occasion, solved a murder mystery, Keefe is less interested in pointing to a perpetrator and more interested in holding up a mirror. The question at the heart of his work is one that pertains to everyone: What does it mean to be human? His newest book, London Falling, is an investigation into the mysterious death of 19-year-old Zach Brettler and its connection to both London's criminal underworld and its elite circles. The author Katherine Rundell says, “Nobody writes like Patrick Radden Keefe; nobody makes achieving something so powerfully complex and difficult look so easy. It's a form of intellectual generosity and, I think, a form of genius.” Patrick Radden Keefe is a staff writer at The New Yorker and the author of the New York Times bestsellers Rogues, Empire of Pain, and Say Nothing, which received the National Book Critics Circle Award for Nonfiction, was selected as one of the ten best books of 2019 by The New York Times Book Review, The Washington Post, Chicago Tribune and The Wall Street Journal, and was named one of the top ten nonfiction books of the decade by Entertainment Weekly. His previous books are The Snakehead and Chatter. His work has been recognized with a Guggenheim Fellowship, the National Magazine Award for Feature Writing and the Orwell Prize for Political Writing. He is also the creator and host of the eight-part podcast Wind of Change.

Before we had thieves. Now we have Rogues. Let me tell you what was lost because of that...Hi everyone! I'm Joe, and though I'm one of the original OSR guys (40+ years as a DM running all editions of D&D games, and had one of the founding blogs of the OSR) I also ran 5e D&D extensively. My longest campaign ran almost 5 years. I've had multiple other campaigns that went on for a couple of years. How did I keep the games going so long, getting the players into mid-20th level, and still keep it fun and exciting? I used a lot of Old School D&D principles. That's what this video series is all about---teaching you all the Old School knowledge I have to make your 5e game fun and keep it going for years. Here's the link to the Sunday video I mentioned in the show!https://youtu.be/Yg_wDp9Wl7g?si=mCayBEsCiWmK7zWFClick the link below to become a Member!

In 1855, a bizarre incident in Toronto escalated into one of the city's strangest riots. After a fight broke out between clowns from a visiting circus and members of a volunteer firefighting company, tensions quickly spiraled. What began as a confrontation in a brothel turned into a mob attack that ended with the circus being burned to the ground.In this episode of the Lunatics Radio Hour, we explore the Clown Riot of 1855, the culture of volunteer fire companies at the time, and how the chaos exposed corruption within Toronto's police force. The fallout from the riot helped push the city toward major reforms in policing and public order.Episode 182 examines how an unlikely clash between firefighters and circus performers became a turning point in Toronto's civic history.Sources An article by Alex Dunne, on The Uncircurriculum: The Great Toronto Circus Riothttps://grandorangelodge.ca/history/BlogTo article by Alice McCurty: This weird event in 1855 sparked the creation of the Toronto Police forcePeter Vronsky – "Rogues, Scoundrels and Screws" (Toronto crime history)Adam Bunch – "The Toronto Book of the Dead"Heritage Toronto article on the circus riotToronto Public Library archivesFirst hand sources, that we will cite as we go.

Kristi Noem was relieved of duty; Democrats act like they took her out. They didn't.We will discuss her replacement.Gavin Newsom claims that Noem's firing means the president is losing. Talk about a starving man looking for a meal. That's a big reach, Gav.Speaking of Gavin Newsom, Katie Couric asked him, “Do you have a Zoolander problem?” Gavin, are you just too good-looking and slick? [X] SB – Katie Couric asks Gavin Newsom ZoolanderLots to cover today, mostly because I dedicated Friday to Candace Owens.She works hard for the money!I avoided discussing her, because I'm not interested in her. But I am interested in things that impact the conservative movement.I had put her on the list to never discuss, like I did with Jazzy. But I felt compelled to cover it, and I will on touch on her and Jazzy where it proves useful to make bigger points.As we consider our movement which has little to do with us, and more to do with what we leave for our kids and grandkids, I want to remind you that Democrats are indeed crazy and look at the world through “trip glasses”, or what people on drugs wear to enhance the experience.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
