Podcasts about scarecrows

Can we take just a couple of minutes to talk about fear on this episode of The Podcast? This isn't on the list of anyone's favorite topics, but it is something we all have to confront. Check out the video version of this episode.  I shared a whole series of messages called “Do Not Be Afraid” which you can check out here.

The last couple of weeks have actually been kind of slow, when it comes to the craziness of trucking so I don't have any really dramatic stories from the road. However, now that Break Safety Week has come and gone I do talk about how it affected our fleet. Leave a comment and let me know what your experience was like. What to Expect in Episode 185 It's a pretty normal reaction to be scared of the unknown. Just like Dorothy, the Tin Man, and the Scarecrow were scared of the unknown that lurked in the forest as they journeyed to Oz, changes lurking in the trucking industry can be scary too.  I thought it would be interesting to talk about some of the topics that seem to be getting a lot of attention these days. Here's how this episode breaks down. Electric Trucks I talk about my experience driving an electric vehicle for the last 7+ years and how I think it relates to trucks. Driverless Vehicles My Tesla has the "Full Self Driving" feature. It's good, but I think it's going to be a while before we see anything of any significance in capability and quantity in the trucking world. Craig and I talk about why. The English Proficiency Mandate A recent crash in Florida that killed 3 has brought this topic to the forefront of the highway safety discussion. Craig and I talk about some of the specifics and how this has the potential to have a significant impact in the not too distant future.

Transcript:Nl: In het kleine dorpje tussen de uitgestrekte weilanden en grazige heuvels van het Nederlandse platteland, werd elk jaar een vogelverschrikkerwedstrijd gehouden.En: In the small village nestled between the vast meadows and grassy hills of the Nederlandse countryside, a scarecrow contest was held every year.Nl: In de herfst, wanneer de bomen in vurige tinten van oranje en geel veranderden, vulde de lucht zich met de geur van pas geoogste velden.En: In the fall, when the trees turned fiery shades of orange and yellow, the air filled with the scent of freshly harvested fields.Nl: Bram, een jongeman met onuitputtelijke energie en een sterke drang om te winnen, wachtte al maanden op deze kans.En: Bram, a young man with boundless energy and a strong desire to win, had been waiting for this opportunity for months.Nl: Diederik, zijn kameraden maar met een speelse geest, had roddels verspreid.En: Diederik, his comrade with a playful spirit, had spread rumors.Nl: Hij vertelde Bram dat de regels van de wedstrijd waren veranderd.En: He told Bram that the rules of the contest had changed.Nl: "Ze willen iets nieuws en creatiefs," had Diederik gezegd met een ondeugende glimlach.En: "They want something new and creative," Diederik had said with a mischievous smile.Nl: Bram, die vastberaden was om de eerste prijs te winnen, nam de woorden van Diederik serieus.En: Bram, determined to win first prize, took Diederik's words seriously.Nl: Hij werkte dagenlang aan een vogelverschrikker die allesbehalve traditioneel was.En: He worked for days on a scarecrow that was anything but traditional.Nl: Maartje, pragmatisch en altijd gericht op harmonie, luisterde naar de verhalen die rondgingen maar hield haar zorgen voor zichzelf.En: Maartje, pragmatic and always focused on harmony, listened to the tales circulating but kept her concerns to herself.Nl: Ze had zich vorig jaar al gestrest gevoeld door een kleine fout in haar eigen vogelverschrikker, waardoor ze nu extra voorzichtig was.En: She had already felt stressed by a small mistake in her own scarecrow the previous year, making her extra cautious now.Nl: Ze hoopte alleen dat Diederiks grap geen chaos zou veroorzaken.En: She just hoped Diederik's prank wouldn't cause chaos.Nl: De dag van de wedstrijd was helder en fris.En: The day of the contest was clear and crisp.Nl: Boeren en dorpsbewoners kwamen bijeen op het centrale veld, klaar voor het jaarlijks festijn.En: Farmers and villagers gathered at the central field, ready for the annual festivity.Nl: Bram verscheen vol zelfvertrouwen, zijn vogelverschrikker achter hem aanslepend.En: Bram appeared full of confidence, dragging his scarecrow behind him.Nl: De vogelverschrikker was een mix van oud en nieuw, met een malle hoed en kleurrijke versieringen.En: The scarecrow was a mix of old and new, with a silly hat and colorful decorations.Nl: Toen de tijd kwam voor de presentatie, waren de toeschouwers verbijsterd.En: When it was time for the presentation, the spectators were astonished.Nl: Bram's vogelverschrikker was inderdaad uniek, maar stond ver af van wat men verwachtte.En: Bram's scarecrow was indeed unique but far from what was expected.Nl: Lachen en fluisteren verspreidden zich door de menigte.En: Laughter and whispers spread through the crowd.Nl: Diederik kon nauwelijks zijn lach inhouden, en zelfs Maartje, ondanks haar bezorgdheid, kon niet anders dan glimlachen.En: Diederik could hardly hold in his laughter, and even Maartje, despite her concerns, couldn't help but smile.Nl: Uiteindelijk kwam Maartje naar voren en legde de situatie uit.En: Eventually, Maartje stepped forward and explained the situation.Nl: Bram, met een rood gezicht maar inmiddels grinnikend, begreep eindelijk de grap.En: Bram, with a red face but now chuckling, finally understood the joke.Nl: Hoewel hij niet won, voelde hij de warmte van de buurt en genoot van de vrolijke chaos.En: Although he didn't win, he felt the warmth of the community and enjoyed the joyful chaos.Nl: "Dus, geen nieuwe regels?"En: "So, no new rules?"Nl: vroeg Bram met een oprechte lach terwijl hij zijn vrienden omhelsde.En: asked Bram with a genuine laugh as he hugged his friends.Nl: Diederik stak verontschuldigend zijn handen op, en iedereen lachte mee.En: Diederik raised his hands in apology, and everyone laughed along.Nl: Zo leerde Bram dat winnen niet het enige was dat belangrijk was.En: That's how Bram learned that winning wasn't the only important thing.Nl: De samenhorigheid en het lachen met vrienden maakten de dag onvergetelijk.En: The camaraderie and laughter with friends made the day unforgettable.Nl: En zo eindigde de herfstmiddag met een harmonieus gelach en een gedeeld gevoel van gemeenschap.En: And so, the autumn afternoon ended with harmonious laughter and a shared sense of community.Nl: De zon zakte langzaam achter de heuvels, het licht goudachtig over de velden stralend, en de vogelverschrikkers, oud en nieuw, waakten over de oogst.En: The sun slowly set behind the hills, casting a golden light over the fields, and the scarecrows, both old and new, stood watch over the harvest.

Before The Asylum became the main production outlet for SyFy Channel Original Movies, they were coming up with even quirkier low-budget B-movie material.   I sum up the Killer Scarecrow trilogy, some surprisingly then-unknown and genre favorite actors who make cameos and the other shenanigans that entail in this film (all inbetween whacky reactions)!    

The gang breaks up.

On September 26th, 1954, Lucette Lebouf was picking berries when her dog Dolly started acting up around a strange looking scarecrow. As she went to see what the matter was with the animal, she realized that it was not a scarecrow at all, and that this ‘thing' was moving towards her.

They stand silently in the fields, stitched together with rags, straw, and fear. Scarecrows are more than just farm tools to frighten away crows—they've haunted our imagination for centuries. In this episode, we trace their roots from ancient civilizations to their rise as eerie symbols in folklore, superstition, and Halloween tradition. From Japanese rice fields to European harvest festivals, and from farming necessity to horror movie icon, scarecrows have always carried a strange mix of protection and dread. Join us as we uncover the real history behind these straw-stuffed guardians and explore how they became one of the most haunting figures of Halloween.

Welcome back to the Manor!  This year marks the 40th anniversary of the album "Scarecrow" by John Mellencamp.  After episode one, released back on July 4th for reasons, we're now releasing part 2, recorded on the same night, but we're putting it out today, as it was actually released 40 years ago yesterday.  (Which is why we're releasing it a day ahead of time on the 31st instead of Friday the 1st!  But no, we're not releasing another tomorrow!) We get into the album, the songs, how it reflects the plight of farmers, and more.  Pour yourself a pint and listen in.  Next week's episode is about nerd dice.

After surviving the werewolf ambush on the Old Svalich Road, the adventurers reached Kresk, the last settlement before the mists swallow the valley. The guards at the gate opened only when they saw the Martikovs' wagon of wine. But their allies' patience was thin; the severed head of Henrik, the coffin maker, and the party's haggling over wine had soured trust. One barrel was given to Burgomaster Dmitri Krezkov. He warmed slightly, explaining Kresk survived by not provoking Strahd. He offered one path to shelter: the Abbey of Saint Markovia. His warning was clear—when its bells toll, screams echo across the village.The party climbed the 800-foot switchback to the abbey. Mists choked the valley below, frost lined the stone. Scarecrows posed as false guards along the walls. Inside, they met Otto and Zygfrek, mongrelfolk sentries—patchworks of man and beast—who bickered until Sören demanded to see the Abbot. Reluctantly, they led the party into the courtyard, where locked pens held howling mongrelfolk, the twisted remnants of the Belview family.A chained bat-winged woman hissed as Sören approached. From the well, another creature—spider-eyed, frog-handed, crow-footed—lunged at Daermon. The rogue's rapier struck true; Traxidor's radiance finished it. The courtyard erupted in cries of “Murder!”Inside, they found the Abbot—handsome, serene, with the bearing of someone more than mortal. Beside him sat Vasilka, a pale, scarred woman in a red dress, mute and unnaturally perfect. The Abbot welcomed them, but his sadness deepened when told of the slain mongrel. He explained: the mongrelfolk were the Belviews, lepers he healed but could not cure of madness. They begged for animal traits, and he gave them their desires. Now they breed, fight, and rot in cages.He revealed his greater purpose: Vasilka. Crafted from corpses, refined by his hand, she is to be Strahd's bride.“To redeem a soul as black as Strahd's, he must first know love.”The Abbot asked them to find her a wedding dress. When questioned why he would aid Strahd, he answered with rapture: Strahd must be redeemed, not destroyed.Sören sensed the truth with Divine Sense—the Abbot is Celestial. When pressed, the Abbot unleashed his true form: wings of radiant fire, eyes without pupils, sword and lance of blazing light.“Behold an angel of the Morning Lord. See me and know despair.”The party collapsed under the weight of his divine presence. The light faded, but the judgment in his gaze remained.The Abbot's servant, Clovin—a two-headed mongrelfolk with a crab claw—led them to their quarters. There they met Ezmerelda d'Avenir, a Vistani monster hunter with a prosthetic leg. She packed to leave, unimpressed by their bravado.“You're reckless. Strahd will break you.”She called the Abbot insane and departed into the cold night.The bell tolled, and the mongrelfolk howled like a hundred beasts. At dinner, the Abbot dismissed his servants, served Red Dragon Crush wine, and cabbage stew. Sören refused to eat. The Abbot did not eat either—he patiently taught Vasilka to hold a spoon, coaxing her like a child.Despite warnings, Sören, Radley, and Daermon explored the abbey's upper floors. Traxidor stayed behind. They passed through rotted offices, into an infirmary with doors marked Surgery, Nursery, and Morgue. Shadows emerged—spectral undead that drained not blood but strength. Memories of the Death House returned as their vitality faded.They fought, but the darkness pressed hard. At the last moment, Traxidor burst in, the Amulet of Ravenkind blazing. His Channel Divinity seared several shadows to nothingness; a Guiding Bolt destroyed the last. The party staggered back to their room, weak and shaken, collapsing into uneasy sleep.The Abbot waits for a wedding dress. The mongrelfolk whisper “murder.” Ezmerelda hunts alone. And somewhere far above, Strahd smiles, patient as the grave.

In today's #MikeJonesMinuteCon, we'll talk about how Slash is working with Halloween Horror Nights again and you control the band in Rockbeasts!

Matt Lambert, General Manager/COO of The Country Club at Mirasol, and Tim Rayman, CEO of Greenleaf Hospitality Group and General Manager of Kalamazoo (Mich.) Country Club, join Rob Thomas on the Club + Resort Talks podcast. Lambert was named the 2025 Facility Manager of the Year by the Racquet Sports Professional Association (RSPA), Florida Division. This prestigious award recognizes facility leaders who demonstrate exceptional commitment to the advancement of racquet sports within their facilities and the professionals who support them. Tim Rayman discusses the extensive renovations at the Kalamazoo Country Club. The club, founded in 1909, is undergoing significant changes, including a new 11-hole short course designed by Andrew Green, set to open in Q1 2026. The new clubhouse will feature two restaurants, a 34-seat movie theater, a six-lane bowling alley, and multiple pools. Additionally, a new 18-hole championship course will be built on the existing 145 acres. The project aims to enhance member retention and recruitment by offering a wide range of amenities, including a golf Performance Center with advanced teaching technology. Also in the news ... A full remodel is underway at Desert Highlands to include enhanced lighting and expansive entrance in the golf shop, as well as self-serve comfort stations in the locker room. The Country Club of Whispering Pines and Foxfire Golf Club in the Sandhills of North Carolina have been acquired by Rolling Pines LLC, a newly formed management concern with the parent company of Mid Pines Development Group. KemperSports acquired Fire Pit Productions and named Matt Ginella Chief Storyteller, while also launching Youth Golf Week to inspire young players and grow the game through stories and community. And, Scarecrow, designed by David McLay Kidd, will open for public play on August 1. The course plays to a par of 71, stretches to 6,900 yards and is turfed with traditional fine fescue, which provides for firm and fast surfaces.

Movie reviews #51
seven today so let's go
1. Airport 1970. This one started them all. To me it's just a less funny movie than airplane movie, but still funny. You don't get the icky pedophile jokes, but you do get asshat men who live to cheat and cheat to live, this had a nice rad woman surprise that I am quite grateful for. Airport stars Helen Hayes!!!!
2. Scarecrow 1972. Many many 70's films are based on plays, this one basically just filmed a play. Great Black Metal premise here with a story by Nathaniel Hawthorne, The Scarlet letter guy. Blythe Danner, and Gene Wilder are here, and there's a witch too. 
3. Earthquake 1974. Heston is here, this movie was not great. I had fun with friends, a lot actually. Heston is a shit but the Star Crash guy takes on bullies, and flippin Shaft is a rad stunt cyclist.
4. The Little prince 1974. This one's trippy and fun, and we get our 2nd Gene Wilder appearance in this batch. You also get jazz hands Bob Fosse himself here as the snake. I always get this movie confused with the Gumby episode The Small Planets, and wonder where the screaming clay piano boy is.
5. Girlfriends 1978. Claudia Weill is our director here, in a coming of age film that should be more popular than it is, shrug emoji. We get the sole survivor woman from that trippy movie I love called Sole Survivor. Lots of great actors here including the guy who wrote Stonehenge.
6. Sergeant Matlovich vs. the U.S. AirForce. This gets added to our list of super amazing made for TV movies of the 70's, also Matlovich was real and fierce AF. Brad Dourif plays Leonard Mattlovich, and you can watch him and his mustache in this gem on you tube. A must see for those interested in Queer history.
7. …And your name is Jonah 1979. Intense TV Movie about a misdiagnosed Jonah, he is deaf and the shitty times and an even shittier Teacher and Dad make it flippin hell for this poor kiddo. Important to show where we were and where we should be with this country's Ableism. Sally Struthers is here along with the asshat Dad played by asshat James Woods.Thanks fer listening friends. Please oh please give us stars and a review, thank you.

Nick brings back film critics Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy to tear into the newest movie releases—some hits, a lot of misses. Pixar's Elio gets a once-over, 28 Years Later tries to keep the horror flame alive, and Bride Hard with Rebel Wilson lands with a thud. They also offer an early review of F1: The Movie, Brad Pitt's high-octane racing flick that turns out to be all rev and no traction. Later, Esmeralda Leon joins Nick to gear up for the upcoming Flashback Weekend Horror Convention. The two get into what really makes a movie worth seeing on the big screen—spoiler: it's not just a lot of close-ups and dialogue. They also dive into the strange fate of people who resemble Macaulay Culkin, and why Scarecrow was just too much for Esma to sit through. It's a conversation that shifts gears from cinematic spectacle to psychological unease, with plenty of laughs in between. [EP 360]

The latest film releases include Elio, The Damned, Meeting with Pol Pot, and Scarecrow in a Garden of Cucumbers. Weighing in are Alonso Duralde and Dave White, film critics and co-hosts of the movie podcast Linoleum Knife.

It seems as if the movie comes around again about once a year on TV, and we get a chance to see that charming story called "The Wizard of Oz." What a quartet! I mean, Dorothy, the little Kansas farm girl blown into the Land of Oz. She wants to see the Wizard to get help to get home. Then remember, there's a Scarecrow, he wants to see the Wizard to get some brains. And the Tin Woodsman, well, he's looking for a heart. And last but not least, there's that lovable feline, the Cowardly Lion. Now I know some people who could use some brains, I know some people who could use a little more heart; but we're surrounded by people who could use more of what that Cowardly Lion was looking for. Remember, "I need courage." I'm Ron Hutchcraft, and I want to have A Word With You today about "Lifting People Up." Our word for today from the Word of God comes from Hebrews 10, and I'm going to begin reading at verse 24: "Let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another, and all the more as you see the Day approaching." Okay, so we're supposed to be in the business of spurring people on to be what they need to be, to do what they need to do. In other words, people should be better off because they've been around you. That was the effect Jesus had on the people that He was around. How will that happen? Well, it happens when we do this: "Let us encourage one another." I was thinking the other day about what encourage means. Just reverse it - courage in. It means you're putting courage in people. It's like a gasoline fill-up except it's a motivation fill-up. When you encourage someone, you literally put courage in them. You give them courage to take a risk, to trust God, maybe just to get through a very tough day. You put courage in someone when you stop and you pray with them. I said with them, by the way, not just for them. An arm around them says, "Wait, let's stop and pray about your situation right now." I have seen people literally change before my eyes when I would just take a moment to pray with them. You encourage a person when you give them specific praise for something they did or more importantly for something they are. Sometimes the courage injection comes from a scripture verse you share with them, or a spontaneous note or an email you write, or a text, maybe just a minute spent honestly inquiring how they're really doing. I can't tell you how many times someone's word, or note, or prayer of encouragement has literally put courage in me on a day when courage was really needed. And the encourager could never have known how much I needed it. But they were literally the channel for God to say to me, "Ron, I love you. It's going to be okay. Take courage, man." Encouragement restores your perspective when it's been battered and beat up by the pressures of the day. The great thing about the ministry of putting courage in people is that anybody can do it. It doesn't require any great gifts. It doesn't require any musical ability, or speaking or leadership, or a seminary degree - just a heart. It takes a genuine interest and it looks for ways to give that person encouragement, to build them up. That Cowardly Lion finally got his courage largely from being with three other friends who carried him through the tough times. People around you don't need a wizard to give them courage. But they may very well need some courage to take the next step on the road of their life. They just need somebody like you. They need the courage-giving love of a Jesus follower...maybe you.

We wrap up Maudit May with a look at Scarecrow in a Garden of Cucumbers (1972), a once-lost independent musical that's recently been restored and released on Blu-ray by the American Genre Film Archive. Directed by Robert J. Kaplan and written by Sandra Scoppettone, the film stars Holly Woodlawn as Eve Harrington, a young woman from Kansas who moves to New York City in search of something more—only to find herself in a strange world of characters who, like her, share names with familiar figures from classic Hollywood.Joining Mike to explore the film's unconventional structure, layered references, and cultural significance are co-hosts Elizabeth Purchell and Rahne Alexander. The episode also features interviews with screenwriter Sandra Scoppettone and Jeff Copeland, author of Love You Madly, Holly Woodlawn, who help contextualize the film's production and its star's place in the broader history of queer and underground cinema.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-projection-booth-podcast--5513239/support.

Harley Quinn's chronic flightiness, selfishness, and impulsivity catch up with her when her best friend Poison Ivy is kidnapped by one of Batman's most sinister rogues: The Scarecrow.

Robbie Rozelle is a beloved cabaret artist, director, producer, housewives aficionado, and my friend. He identifies as a Charles Nelson Reilly with a Paul Lynde Rising. And guess what?! We're going back to basics! Robbie joins me in person, in my living room, and we talk about his Hamilton experience as well as pretty much everything else.  As a kid, Robbie fell in love with classic movie musicals (The Wizard of Oz, The Sound of Music, Annie (1982 ONLY), Bye Bye Birdie, Damn Yankees) and became transfixed. By the time he was cast as Scarecrow his freshman year of high school he knew he was going to be a performer. As a young gay kid in the middle of the AIDS crisis, Robbie found hope, joy, and a sense of belonging in theatre, which is why he's made it his life goal to preserve musicals through producing cast and artist albums.  This week, Robbie talks about his journey to New York City by way of upstate New York with a quick stop in Pennsylvania, how he became the Creative Director of Playbill, his transition to Center Stage Records, and how wise words from Jan Maxwell led to his "second life" as a cabaret icon.  Robbie Rozelle @DivaRobbie  Robbie Rozelle - Songs from Inside My Locker (Live at Feinstein's/54 Below) Original Cast Album: Co-Op /// Gillian's Website The Hamilcast on Twitter The Hamilcast on Instagram Join the Patreon Peeps
