In this week's extra episode, we explore one of Scotland's most recent paranormal cases - the Rutherglen Poltergeist. In 2016, a quiet suburban home became the centre of national attention when police officers and firefighters witnessed objects flying through the air, lights switching on and off, and a pet dog reportedly levitating. What began as a routine emergency call quickly escalated into one of the most compelling modern hauntings in Scottish history, leaving even seasoned officials questioning what they had seen.OBSCURATA - Apple Spotify AmazonThe BOOKBY US A COFFEEJoin Sarah's new FACEBOOK GROUPSubscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITEResearch Links:https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/poltergeist-scotland-police_uk_57af70e0e4b01f97d8f2cbb8https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/08/14/police-contact-catholic-church-after-baffling-poltergeist-report/https://www.spookyisles.com/rutherglen-poltergeist/Thanks so much for listening, and we'll catch up with you again on Sunday.Sarah and Tobie xx"Spacial Winds," Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licenced under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licencehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/;;;SURVEY Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Tom welcomes back Chris Rutherglen to take a very deep dive into a few gold charts. Chris is a PhD Scientist/Engineer, Level 3 CFA, and Publisher of the Gold Investor Research Substack. Chris explains how the long-term outlook for gold prices involves several key factors that influence its trajectory over time. One important aspect is the mid-cycle level of gold, which reflects the balance between the amount of gold available above ground and the overall money supply. When the money supply increases, this can raise the mid-cycle level, potentially leading to higher gold prices. Currently, gold is trading above this mid-cycle line, suggesting that a correction downward might be possible in the near term. Chris shows his charts for the debt-to-money supply ratio. Historically, this ratio has remained relatively stable at around 2.5% from the 1920s up until the late 1970s. However, after the financial crisis of 2008, it began to rise and has been declining since then. If this downward trend continues, it could drive gold prices higher as more money would be needed to support existing debt levels. Looking at long-term historical patterns, there is a suggestion that gold might reach a high point around $8,000 to $10,000 in the early 2030s. This projection is influenced by ongoing monetary expansion and economic conditions that favor safe-haven assets like gold. Despite these indicators Chris, expects predicting the future of gold prices with certainty is challenging due to a variety of factors, including inflation rates, global political and economic events, and policies set by central banks such as the Federal Reserve. Key elements to watch include quantitative easing measures and the levels of government debt, both of which play significant roles in shaping the growth of the money supply and their impact on gold demand.

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer said his newest MP “blew the doors off” as Michael Shanks won the Rutherglen and Hamilton West by-election with a swing of 20%.It was triggered after former SNP MP Margaret Ferrier was removed from her seat after breaking COVID guidelines. The win could have implications for the next general election. If the swing was repeated across Scotland it would see a rise in the number of Labour MPs from just 2 to over 40 and so a big boost to Sir Keir Starmer's bid to enter 10 Downing Street. On the Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson is joined by our Scotland correspondent Connor Gillies and Sky's election analyst Michael Thrasher to dig into the result and look at how it may influence the political landscape in the run up to a general election next year.

A by-election is on the cards for Rutherglen and Hamilton West, after former SNP MP Margaret Ferrier was recalled by her constituents. She'd flouted lockdown rules in 2020, taking a train from London to Scotland despite testing positive for Covid. Given that Labour will need to make gains in Scotland in order to win the next election, this by-election has become a bellwether for the party. Cindy Yu talks to Katy Balls and Lucy Dunn about what to expect. Produced by Cindy Yu.
Parties gear up for a by-election as MP Margaret Ferrier loses her seat. The constituents for Rutherglen and Hamilton West have voted to remove Ferrier from office, where she has sat as an independent MP after being kicked out of the SNP in 2020 for breaching Covid travel rules. Following a 30 day suspension from the commons, the recall petition to remove her was signed by almost 15% of the eligible constituents, passing the 10% threshold which triggers a by-election. With party campaigning now beginning in earnest, both the SNP and Labour are eyeing up the seat, hoping this electoral test will prove their leaders' mettle ahead of the next general election.

Every wine lover craves great Pinot Noir. Burgundy is ever pricier and scarcer. So where to look?Australia might not seem the obvious destination for Pinot Noir. It's better known for hefty reds (think: Shiraz, Cabernet), historic styles like Hunter Semillon or its heroic ‘stickies' (sweet and fortified like Rutherglen). And if there's a Burgundian variety closely associated with Oz, it's Chardonnay.And yet…over the last few years, Ozzie Pinot Noir has come on leaps and bounds to capture the zeitgeist and become the grape everyone's talking about. From Tasmania to Yarra, Mornington, Adelaide Hills and beyond, this is a grape helping re-define modern Australian wine and offering wine drinkers a glimpse of wine nirvana.In this sponsored episode with Wine Australia, we talk to writer Matthew Jukes, grower Mac Forbes and sommelier Jane Lopes to tell the story of how and why Australian Pinot Noir has gone from zero to hero, and what the future holds. We talk terroir, regionality, climate change, sustainability, winemaking – and tackle the elephant in the room, value for money. (There's also mention of tomato throwing, UV, the Holy Grail, stomping, the God complex, DNA – plus Susie admits she loves a wine more than Peter...)As ever, we taste and recommend some favourites which capture the impressive diversity and sheer thrill of Ozzie Pinot Noir, including:Heirloom Vineyards Pinot Noir 2021, Adelaide Hills, 13.5%Ben Haines 'Colour Block' Pinot Noir 2021, Yarra Valley, 11.5% JC's Own Morialta Vineyard Pinot Noir 2020, Adelaide Hills, 14.5%Giant Steps Applejack Vineyard Pinot Noir 2021, Yarra Valley, 13.5% Tolpuddle Vineyard Pinot Noir 2021, Coal River Valley, Tasmania, 13.5%This episode contains the memorable quote: 'Why fart around with Burgundy when you can buy this?!'All details from this episode (including further wine and producer recommendations) are on our website: Show notes for Wine Blast S4 E14 - Australian Pinot Noir Comes of Age.We'd love to hear from your views on this or any other wine issues - do send us a voice message via Speakpipe or you can find more details to get in touch on our website.Thanks for tuning in.

Tom welcomes back private investor and engineer Chris Rutherglen. During the past year, he started a Substack which is more useful for long-term content. It's called Gold Investor Research, and he discusses a recent article where he expects gold to head in the short term. The Fed is likely to have done a 50 basis point rate hike on Wednesday. That coupled with the CPI print could send gold in either direction, possibly higher. Looking at markets from multiple perspectives is beneficial for determining where things are likely to head. He provides a number of interesting charts which analyze the long-term price movements for gold. He charts the TIPS against gold to try and understand inflation expectations and where the gold price could move. Chris discusses why gold could move to $3000 in the next move based on its historic patterns. During has hit its seven-year cycle high when the Fed reaches the middle of its rate cutting phase, with the low at the end of the cutting phase. The sweet spot for gold is coming. Things are starting to look good for gold investors, although many may have lost patience. 2023 is shaping up to be a good year.
