Welcome back, to Dark Realms.In today's show, we explore the eerie and deeply unsettling case of Helen Duncan, the Scottish medium often remembered as Britain's “last witch,” whose séances, spirit claims, and wartime notoriety drew the attention of the British state at the height of World War II. Moving through a world of darkened séance rooms, grief-stricken families, government secrecy, and ancient law, this episode examines how a woman associated with ectoplasm, spiritualism, and contact with the dead became entangled in one of the most infamous legal cases in British paranormal history. As the story unfolds, questions of belief, fraud, fear, and control begin to blur, revealing a haunting collision between wartime paranoia, the supernatural, and the law. For anyone fascinated by Helen Duncan, this is a chilling look at the moment when what was said in the dark became far too dangerous to ignore.Stay safe,Kevin.We're giving a full weeks trial of our Patreon away! Just head over on the link below and away you go!www.patreon.com/thedarkparanormalIf it's not for you?

What if a river is alive–but we've forgotten how to recognize it?This is the radical idea at the heart of the global “rights of nature” movement, which seeks to grant rivers, forests and ecosystems legal standing. Rooted in ancient traditions and emerging in modern law, it challenges the notion of nature as property and a resource to be exploited.In “Is a River Alive?”, acclaimed writer and explorer Robert Macfarlane travels to remote waterways in Ecuador, India and Canada, meeting mycologists, Indigenous river-keepers, and activists who see the natural world as animate and ensouled. Known for celebrated books like “Underland,” “The Old Ways,” and “Mountains of the Mind,” Macfarlane blends storytelling, natural history and philosophy in an invitation to reimagine our relationship with the living Earth.If rivers have rights—and perhaps even a kind of consciousness—how would that change the way we see the world?— To the Best of Our Knowledge – Macfarlane describes the allure and our fascination with the underground world of caves, mines, catacombs and glacial shafts beneath the earth's surface.  To the Best of Our Knowledge - Macfarlane offers a book recommendation: “The Living Mountain” by the Scottish poet and writer Nan Shepherd.

When Bridget of York, youngest daughter of Edward IV, chose a life at Dartford Priory over marriage to a Scottish prince, most people assume she had no better options. They're wrong. The Tudor convent wasn't a consolation prize. It was the only institution in England that offered women real governance experience, education, community, and a life that didn't depend on surviving childbirth or a husband's political fortunes. Abbesses ran estates and managed finances.Nuns elected their own leaders based on merit. When Cromwell's commissioners showed up before the dissolution and asked every single nun if she wanted to leave, virtually none said yes. Then Henry VIII closed all of it down. Over 800 houses, gone in four years. And for women, it wasn't just a religious change. It was the elimination of the only exit option they had. Today we're talking about what the convent actually was, who chose it and why, and what it meant when it disappeared. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

A young doctor, recovering from illness, is sent to the Derbyshire hills for his health. He takes lodgings at a remote farm, where he notices the family's reluctance to discuss the valley below. There's a Roman mine nearby that no one acknowledges, and a particular opening in the earth that unsettles him. His diary records what starts as mild interest in local folklore. But as he explores the mine workings beneath the Blue John caverns, his entries shift. The question becomes less about what might exist in the old tunnels, and more about what happens to a man who goes looking for it. First published in The Strand Magazine in August 1910, “The Terror of Blue John Gap” was later collected in The Last Galley: Impressions and Tales in 1911. It draws on the real Blue John Cavern near Castleton, with its distinctive banded fluorite. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930) was a Scottish physician and author, best known as the creator of Sherlock Holmes. Beyond detective fiction, he wrote historical novels, science‑fiction romances, and a rich vein of ghostly and weird tales.

We know it's been a while, too long, but trying to get the guys together has been like herding cats. That said, we're finally back with another episode of Glory Days of Gold, the East Fife and Scottish football podcast. And it's been pretty dire stuff from East Fife this year so far. With just one solitary win in 2026, and one win in total in their last 12 matches, the team have found themselves dropping down the table and in a real relegation fight, with only the good points they accrued at the start of the season and Hamilton's continued implosions keeping them afloat. Can they turn things around in the last quarter of the season? What needs to change? Will they stay up? Aaron, Doug, Gordon, and Andrew delve the last few weeks of happenings, both on and off the pitch down Bayview way.

THIS WEEK IN CELTIC MUSIC 0:09 - Amelia Hogan "No Irish Need Apply" from Transplants: From the Old to the New 5:02 - WELCOME 8:14 - Dropkick Murphys "Who'll Stand With Us?" from For The People (Expanded Edition) 12:03 - Bealtaine "Worker's Song" from Factories & Mills, Shipyards & Mines Written by Ed Pickford in the mid-1970s as a direct response to arguments blaming Britain's economic woes on workers rather than the wealthy. That's a typical tactic that continues today. If we want free and fair elections, we will stop letting billionaires buy our politicians. The was first recorded by Scottish legend Dick Gaughan in 1981, it's been taken up by everyone from the Dropkick Murphys to The Longest Johns. 16:22 - Ed Miller "Blood upon the Grass" from Generations of Change In 1977, Scotland traveled to Chile to play a friendly match at the very stadium where, just four years earlier, Pinochet's regime had tortured and killed political prisoners after the 1973 coup. Back in Scotland, a powerful solidarity campaign urged the Scottish Football Association to pull their team from what would become known as the 'Match of Shame.' Folk singer Adam McNaughtan captured that outrage in his song 'Blood Upon the Grass,' and Edinburgh-born singer Ed Miller later recorded it on his album Generations of Change — keeping this powerful story alive for new generations. 19:16 - Black 47 "San Patricio Brigade" from Rise Up and The Secret World of Celtic Rock 24:18 - FEEDBACK The Great Hunger in Ireland took place from 1845 to 1852. Irish immigrants migrated to the U.S. They were treated as second-class citizens. There are still newspapers that refer to them as lazy and criminals, thus the "No Irish Need Apply" song at the start of the show. These were hungry people. They were just looking for opportunities in a new land. Much like the immigrants of today. But they too were treated inhumanely. They were demonized. So when the Mexican-American War broke out from 1846-1848, many Irish looked at how poorly they were treated in America. They found greater kinship to their Catholic cousins in Mexico. That's why the Saint Patrick's Battalion was formed. Interestingly, it wasn't just Irish Catholics. There were Catholics from throughout Europe in the battalion including: German, Canadian, English, French, Italian, Polish, Scottish, Spanish, Swiss and Mexican. These were people who were attacked and belittled for their culture and their faith. It should serve as a warning and a reminder for all of us today. 30:04 - David Rovics "St. Patrick Battalion" from Historic Times 32:58 - Wild Colonial Bhoys "Dying Rebel" from Century A song that reflects on the human cost of rebellion rather than the glorification of the conflict and the martyrdom of its leaders. Here's what history keeps teaching us. People don't start out wanting to fight. They start out wanting to be heard. On January 30, 1972, in Derry, Northern Ireland, somewhere between ten and fifteen thousand people joined a peaceful civil rights march. They weren't armed. They were protesting the British government's policy of locking people up without trial. Sort of like what's happening in America now. British paratroopers opened fire. Thirteen people were killed. Fourteen others were wounded. The incident caused widespread anger and led to a surge in IRA recruitment. The argument was simple and devastating: peaceful protest could no longer achieve change. I hope to God America never comes to that. But peaceful protesters were murdered in Minneapolis. I lost a fan because I took my kids to a peaceful No Kings Protest last summer. When the state fires on and demonizes its own people, it doesn't end the resistance. It just changes its shape. That's the lesson history keeps trying to teach us. I hope we don't need to learn that the hard way. So please keep peacefully protesting 37:46 - BREAK 39:10 - Eddie Biggins "The Rising of the Moon" from Hey, I'm Singing Over Here! 41:29 - The Haar "Óró Sé Do Bheatha' Bhaile" from The Lost Day "Óró sé do bheatha abhaile" sounds like a joyful welcome song — and once, it was. The original Irish tune dates back centuries, used to greet returning chieftains and even Bonnie Prince Charlie. But the version we know today is something altogether fiercer. Around 1910, Patrick Pearse — poet, teacher, and revolutionary — rewrote the lyrics. He replaced the old imagery with a new vision: Gráinne Mhaol, the legendary 16th century pirate queen, sailing home with soldiers to drive the English from Ireland. Pearse was executed after the 1916 Easter Rising. And his words lived on. The song became a rallying cry, a promise that resistance wasn't finished, that Ireland would be free. That's why it's still sung today. Not as nostalgia, but as defiance. Every generation that lifts their voice in this song is answering Pearse's call across more than a hundred years. 48:04 - Marc Gunn & The Dubliners' Tabby Cats "Patriot Game" from Irish Drinking Songs: The Cat Lover's Companion In my opinion, "Patriot Game" is one of the best Irish rebel songs ever written. It cuts deeper than most rebel songs because it doesn't glorify. It questions. It was written by Dominic Behan in 1961. The song is based on the true story of Fergal O'Hanlon, an IRA volunteer killed during a 1957 border raid in County Fermanagh. He was just nineteen years old. But Behan wasn't writing a hero's ballad. He was writing a warning. The song is sung in the voice of a young man who died for a cause he barely understood. Seduced by romantic notions of patriotism before he had the wisdom to weigh the cost. That's the same as putting the party over the country. Our politicians have fallen into that trap. So I want to ask you to reach out to your representatives. Tell them you've had enough of this insanity. 51:12 - THANKS Back in December, I got an email from Troy of The Secret Commonwealth. He was letting me know about a man who's been part of his community for over 40 years. His friend is being held by ICE for nearly a year. His friend is hospitalized with a serious infection and awaiting heart surgery, all while being denied adequate medical care and due process. He suffers from a cracked vertebra and a history of cardiac issues, yet remains in unsanitary conditions with limited access to clean water or medical attention. My friend said, 'I'm feeling pretty damn rebellious right now,' and honestly, I am too. I'm also sad that I didn't bring this to your attention sooner, especially in the wake of the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti by ICE agents in Minneapolis back in Janaury. These are not abstract political issues. These are real people, real families, real communities torn apart. This next song feels like the right response. 'Till Jamie Comes Hame' features traditional words sometimes credited to Robert Burns, with music written by Rob Campbell of the band. And today, it's for everyone waiting for someone to come home. 58:35 - The Secret Commonwealth "Til Jamie Comes Hame" from Last Call 1:02:45 - Redhill Rats "White, Orange and Green" from Some Heroes 1:06:37 - Scythian "Follow Me Up to Carlow" from Immigrant Road Show 1:10:06 - House Of Hamill "Pound A Week Rise" from MARCH THROUGH STORMS 1:14:12 - Medusa's Wake "War of Independence" from War of Independence 1:17:37 - CLOSING "The World Turned Upside Down" was written in 1975, but it reaches back to 1649 — and maybe even further than that. Leon Rosselson based the song on the Diggers, a radical movement in England led by Gerrard Winstanley. After the English Civil War, they began farming common land, declaring simply that the earth belonged to everyone. Not to kings. Not to landlords. Not to those who had seized it by force and called it theirs. They were destroyed for that idea. But here's something worth sitting with. The Irish language doesn't have a word for "to have." You cannot own anything in Irish. Instead, things exist in relationship with you. A book is at you. Hunger is on you. Joy is on you. Even land. Not mine. Just... with me for now. That's not just a quirk of grammar. It's a completely different way of seeing the world. One where ownership itself is the strange idea. The foreign concept. This the idea that declaring land your private property is an act of violence against everyone else. The Diggers lost. The language nearly did too. But both survived. And this song is proof that the idea refuses to die. 1:20:18 - Melanie Gruben "The World Turned Upside Down" from Like a Tide Upon the Land 1:22:37 - CREDITS Support for this program comes from International speaker, Joseph Dumond, teaching the ancient roots of the Gaelic people.

This teaching emphasizes that whenever God stirs His people to seek renewal and revival amid devastation, spiritual opposition is inevitable, as vividly illustrated in Zechariah 3:1–7, where Joshua the high priest is accused by Satan yet defended and cleansed by the Lord, symbolizing God's redemptive purpose for His people; drawing from the post-exilic context of Haggai, Ezra, and Nehemiah, the message shows how historical rebuilding points to ongoing spiritual realities for the Church, affirming that what was written in earlier times was meant for our instruction (1 Corinthians 10, Romans 15), that believers must move from spiritual milk to meat (1 Corinthians 3, Hebrews 5), and that apocalyptic themes found in Daniel, Ezekiel, Joel, and Zechariah ultimately converge in Revelation, revealing God's unfolding plan from creation through restoration and reminding believers to interpret present challenges through the full counsel of Scripture. Originally recorded on 25 Oct 2025.You can connect with Moriel in more locations than just YouTube!

When God Answers #RTTBROS #Nightlight "If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you." — John 15:7You know, I think one of the most honest struggles in the Christian life is prayer that feels like it's just bouncing off the ceiling. We pray, and then we wait, and then we wonder. Did anybody hear that? Is anybody home?I ran across something from the life of a man named Dr. Burns Thomson, a Scottish physician and missionary who lived in the 1800s. When he was a young student, he and a close friend made an agreement to pray together for specific things, very specific things. And here's what his friend wrote about it later: the answers came so quickly and so clearly that there was simply no room left to doubt that God had heard them. Once the answer came the same day. Another time, the answer came while they were still praying.Now I don't know about you, but that kind of prayer life sounds like something from another world. Most of us would settle for an answer sometime this decade. So what was their secret?F.B. Meyer, that wonderful old devotional writer, put his finger on it. He said prevailing prayer, the kind that actually moves things, has some marks on it worth paying attention to.First, it has to be aimed at God's glory, not just our comfort. We have to ask honestly, "Would this bring honor to God, or am I just trying to get out of a tight spot?" That's a question that'll clean up your prayer list in a hurry.Second, it has to be prayed in Christ's name, and Meyer makes the point that this isn't just a phrase you tack on at the end like a period. Praying in Jesus' name means praying the way Jesus would pray, with His heart, His priorities, His spirit running through every word.And third, here's the one that really gets me, we have to be abiding. Jesus said it right there in John 15:7. "If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you." The answered prayer flows out of the abiding relationship. You can't separate the two. A branch that's connected to the vine doesn't have to beg for sap, it just comes. When we stay close to Jesus, when His Word is actually living in us and not just sitting on the shelf, our desires start lining up with His desires, and suddenly we're asking for things He already wants to give.I'm too soon old and too late smart on this one, but I've lived long enough to know the difference between praying from a distance and praying from a place of closeness with God. The prayers that get answered are almost always the ones that come out of that abiding place.So maybe the question today isn't "why isn't God answering my prayers?" Maybe the better question is, "How's my abiding?"Let's pray: Father, draw us close. Let Your words live in us, not just sit near us. We want the kind of prayer life where heaven moves and answers come. We seek Your face, show us Your glory. In Jesus' name, Amen.#Prayer #Faith #ChristianLiving #DailyDevotion #TrustGod #BiblicalWisdom #RTTBROS #NightlightBe sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe, it helps get the word out. https://linktr.ee/rttbros

Whether the book series or subsequent TV adaptation – or, indeed, stage shows and films – the huge franchise has sparked many a love of the past through its gruesome, entertaining and, most importantly, accurate storytelling and songs. Today, Jackie sits down with two of the brains behind Horrible Histories to learn more about how they've managed to capture the imaginations of several generations of children and young people, the process of bringing book to the stage, and some of their favourite Scottish characters to appear. Horrible Histories – The Concert is touring now, including stops in Edinburgh and Glasgow. To enjoy more episodes of Love Scotland, please follow or subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.

On this episode of the Holyrood Sources Podcast, Calum Macdonald, Geoff Aberdein and Andy Maciver unpack the ongoing situation in Iran and across the Middle East from a Scottish perspective. They are joined by Dr Siavush Randjbar-Daemi, Lecturer at The University of St Andrews, to discuss: Whether the Iranian regime can survive the assassination of its Supreme LeaderHow the UK government is responding — and whether Starmer is being “nimble” enoughThe implications for Scottish politics and First Minister John SwinneyLater in the show they break down the latest major poll ahead of the Scottish Parliament election, Mark McGeoghegan from Ipsos, joins the show. The SNP hold firm but Labour is up four points and Reform UK seem to have slipped back slightly. Calum, Geoff and Andy discuss the implications of this and ask whether Scotland is moving back towards left-right politics rather than the constitutional question. Connect with us:

Summary While the Great Hunger in Ireland remains one of the most documented tragedies of the nineteenth century, the story of what happened across the Irish Sea in the Scottish Highlands is often overlooked or romanticised. In this episode, we strip away the Hollywood imagery of baronial halls and tartan myths to look at the real experience of the Highland Potato Famine of 1846. We explore the “Geographic Trap” of the Highland Boundary Fault, the Coastal Squeeze of the Clearances, and the legal engineering of the 1845 Poor Law that left the starving with no right to relief. Using the latest research from Sir Tom Devine and Michael Lynch, we investigate the Empathy Gap between the absentee Landlords and the crofters clinging to the soil in the Western Isles. As the “Year of Railway Mania” gripped the England and the Lowlands of Scotland, a biological rot was creeping north. This is a story of how a system that prioritised economic efficiency over human survival turned a bad harvest into a national catastrophe.

A Scottish cult hero. A seven-minute pseudo-electronic epic. A song literally called “Gang Bang.” This episode dives into Next (1973) by the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a glam-adjacent, piano-driven, theatrical rock album that turned Cleveland into a true-believer city while barely registering anywhere else. If you've ever wondered how a band could sound like AC/DC fronted by a cabaret singer, this one's for you.The conversation unpacks how Next won a community poll over Santana, Mountain, and Babe Ruth, then zooms into what makes this record so strange and so compelling: Alex Harvey's gravelly, Bon Scott–adjacent vocal sneer; Hugh McKenna's barroom piano at the center of the mix; Zal Cleminson's clown-faced guitar theatrics; and a tracklist that veers from swampy 70s glam rock to French-tango whorehouse drama to 50s sock-hop pastiche. The hosts dig into the band's ties to Cleveland's WMMS, the album's inclusion in 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die, and why “The Faith Healer” feels like a proto-electronic blueprint hiding inside a 70s hard rock record.Along the way, they wrestle with whether Next is a fully realized album or a brilliantly messy collision of pub-rock instincts and art-rock ambition. Is this bar-band filler padded with covers, or the sound of a band inventing a theatrical rock universe on the fly? If you're into Alice Cooper (early band era), Slade, Mott the Hoople, AC/DC's Bon Scott years, or even the weirder corners of 70s glam and proto-metal, this episode will hit that sweet spot between grit, camp, and cult.Episode Highlights:- 0:00 – Swampsnake (intro clip) – Setting the scene with the swampy, bluesy glam groove that defines the album's tone and why this 70s poll got “weird in the best way.”- 1:40 – The 70s album poll – Santana, Mountain, Babe Ruth, and why the community rallied hard behind the Sensational Alex Harvey Band.- 7:40 – Cleveland adopts a Scottish band – WMMS, the Agora, and how Next became a regional obsession that most of America never knew existed.- 15:16 – Album backstory – Vertigo Records, Phil Wainman's production, Tear Gas origins, and how a late-30s Alex Harvey ends up making this wild second album.- 22:02 – Glam, grit, and piano – How the Bon Scott–style vocal snarl, barrelhouse piano, and theatrical arrangements hold the chaos together.- 27:27 – First-listen confusion – From glam rock to 50s throwback to French chanson: why Next doesn't make sense until you've lived in it for a few spins.- 30:05 – “Next” (track) – The Jacques Brel cover as French-tango whorehouse showpiece, Casablanca vibes, and the album's most overtly theatrical moment.- 32:14 – “Vambo Marble Eye” – Bo Diddley groove, wah-drenched guitar nastiness, and the band's most swaggering barroom-meets-art-rock blend.- 33:40 – “The Faith Healer” – Seven minutes of loops, Moog textures, and slow-build arrangement that feels like a prototype for later electronic and industrial music.- 34:37 – Rocky Horror energy – Why Next feels like an alternate soundtrack to a 70s midnight movie musical.- 36:42 – What doesn't work? – The “pub-rock reflex”: “Giddy Up a Ding Dong” as sock-hop filler and the tension between bar band roots and art-rock ambition.- 40:35 – “Gang Bang” – Explicit lyrics, 70s shock value, consent, and how this track compares to hair metal's sleazier moments.- 46:44 – Is this an album, EP, or chaos? – Final verdicts: worthy album vs. killer four-song EP, and which tracks make the cut.- 49:45 – For fans of… – Framing SAHB alongside Alice Cooper, Slade, Jake E. Lee–era party rock, and theatrical 70s glam for modern listeners.- 54:49 – How to dig deeper – Box-set rumors, the Framed/Next CD pairing, and why this is a band you probably had to see live.If you love 70s glam rock, proto-metal, theatrical rock, and cult classic albums that sit somewhere between barroom grit and art-school weirdness, this episode is for you.

The Way to Eden (Star Trek: The Original Series (TOS), S3 E20) was recommended by Ria, who said: Listen to the Joy of Trek BrotherListen to the Joy of Trek BrotherStar Trek Episodes Not everybody likesKay & Khaki talk about the joys that they findChief Engineer Greg keeps them both in line.Yea, gay brothers, yeaHello, Keiko and Kai Winn and with just enough Scottish blood to warrant the title, Chief Engineer Greg. This is Ria from beautiful Phoenix, AZ USA where citrus trees abound and it is very easy to become an actual lemon stealing whore if one is not vigilant. If you recognized the little diddy earlier than you probably guessed the episode I'm recommending is TOS 320, the Way to Eden.I grew up on TOS and I always loved this episode without question and it was only within the last six to eight years that I was shocked to find out this is not considered to be a good episode? I wholeheartedly disagree. This is the original Star Trek musical, you have catchy songs that are great to sing along to, you've got purple-haired aliens, aliens with bizarro ears, you've got awesome hippie costumes, a shirtless Charles Napir, Chekov with an old flame. You've got Herberts, fabulous one-liners, you've got the tension between an increasingly mechanized and artificial society and our inherent human desire to remain close to nature. You've got a somewhat nerdy and uptight Captain Kirk, you've got Biblical references, Spock jamming on the Vulcan lyre and showing off his Vulcan hippie side. What is there not to love?So if you're not Herberts, man, and we reach, how bout a session on the way to Eden? It would sound!Do not give up your search for Eden.

The Go Radio Football Show: March 3rd, 2026. PLAY and HIT SUBSCRIBE, and NEVER miss an episode! Paul Cooney is joined by Peter Grant and special guest Stephen O'Donnell for a cracking deep dive into the most dramatic title race Scottish football has seen in years. With four teams in contention, heated debates, bold tactical takes, and inside‑the‑dressing‑room insight, this episode delivers analysis, banter, controversy, and expert knowledge from those who've lived it. The Old Firm Fallout: A blistering first half from Rangers, a Celtic revival in the second — the team break down how momentum swung, why the game felt like “two matches in one,” and why Danny Rohl's key substitution changed everything. Stephen gives the player's perspective on how refereeing moments and tiny tactical tweaks can flip crowd energy — and ultimately the match. Motherwell's Meteoric Rise: Stephen O'Donnell lifts the lid on Motherwell's incredible season: top‑six early, a European push, and how the team has gone from underdog to title‑race disruptor. Insight into their defensive “calmness philosophy,” the importance of rest‑defence and structure, and why their manager's meticulous approach is turning heads across Scotland. A Four‑Horse Title Race — Can You Believe It? Peter and Stephen break down why Hearts are in pole position, why Celtic and Rangers can't afford a single slip, and why Motherwell are the wildcard with nothing to lose. How kickoff timings, pressure swings, and fan tension impact this razor‑tight run‑in. Scotland at the World Cup The guys look ahead to the opening game vs Haiti and debate what Scotland must learn from previous tournaments. Stephen reflects on Euro 2020 and the mindset shift needed this time around.

We're back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps, Major League Soccer, CONCACAF Champions Cup, and general football chat. It was a another two-game week for the Whitecaps, with two victories in two different competitions and two clean sheets to boot. The 'Caps dispatched a tough test in Costa Rican side Cartagines on Wednesday night in Champions Cup action to set up a Cascadian clash with Seattle in the next round. They followed that up with a Canadian derby win against Toronto on Saturday. We pick over the bones of both matches and the main talking points coming out of them. Plus we round up this week's action around MLS West and look at how the battle to be the Canadian number one goalkeeper is playing out down in Florida between Max Crepeau and Dayne St Clair after their derby. It was a good week in Whitecapsland all round, with two key pieces signing contract extensions and some new corporate deals announced. We chat with one of those key pieces, MLS Defender of the Year Tristan Blackmon, about last year's heroics, his very eventful and headline-making offseason, his new deal, what the club and city mean to him, and the season to come. We also chat with a player starting out his Whitecaps journey, homegrown defender Mihail Gherasimencov, about joining the first team, his time in the CPL with Cavalry, playing internationally for Moldova, and his footballing journey so far. All of this plus we move onto the letter J in our Canadian Soccer A to Z series and music-wise, Scottish band Bis begin their residency as our Artists of the Month, The Pastels are the latest band to feature in our 40th anniversary tribute year to the C86 movement, and Football Violence Awareness Month begins again in Wavelength.

We're starting with the powerhouse British biopic I Swear. Starring the incredible Robert Aramayo (The Rings of Power), this film tells the true story of Scottish activist John Davidson and his life with Tourette's Syndrome. It's a raw, funny, and deeply moving look at a man who refused to be silenced by a world that didn't understand him.Fun Flix Fact: Robert Aramayo's performance was so convincing that many viewers at the film's premiere genuinely believed he had Tourette's! He spent months working closely with the real John Davidson to ensure every tic and vocalisation was performed with absolute authenticity and respect.Next, we're heading to "The Junction" in the high-concept romantic drama Eternity. Elizabeth Olsen stars as Joan, a woman who reaches the afterlife only to be told she has one week to choose which husband she wants to spend eternity with: her first love who died young (Callum Turner), or the man she spent 65 years with (Miles Teller). It's basically the ultimate "Would You Rather?"Fun Flix Fact: The film doesn't shy away from dark humour—Miles Teller's character, Larry, actually ends up in the afterlife after choking on a pretzel at his grandchild's gender reveal party. Talk about an undignified exit!To tie in with the themes of speech and perseverance in I Swear, we're revisiting the 2011 Oscar-winner The King's Speech. We discuss the parallels between King George VI's struggle with his stammer and John Davidson's journey to be heard.Fun Flix Fact: The production had a stroke of incredible luck just nine weeks before filming began. The grandson of the real Lionel Logue (the speech therapist played by Geoffrey Rush) discovered a hidden stash of his grandfather's original diaries and letters. These real-life documents were used to tweak the script for even more historical accuracy!Royal Secret: To help himself "feel" the stammer, Colin Firth reportedly used a physical trick of wearing a hot water bottle under his arm or placing a sharp object in his shoe during rehearsals to create the necessary physical tension.And if that's not enough entertainment for you, we've even thrown in new trailers to watch and what you can catch on streaming. Press play for the friendliest film discussions this side of Hollywood!

Join Paul Cooney, Charlie Mulgrew, and Mark Guidi as they unpack a game of two halves at Ibrox: Rangers' blistering 45 minutes, Celtic's storming revival, and the implications for a title race that's suddenly shifted east to Edinburgh. Old Firm Chaos — Rangers tear Celtic apart early, going 2–0 up with a jaw-dropping overhead kick from Chermiti and a clinical second. But Celtic roar back with 17 second‑half shots, a late penalty, and a huge statement of resilience. Title Race Turns Maroon — The panel agree: Hearts are now favourites. With a six‑point cushion and momentum surging, the Jambos have one hand on the trophy — and the pressure is all on the Glasgow giants.

We think of the Tudor period as velvet and poetry and dramatic executions. We do not think of it as siege warfare. That's a mistake. In this episode I'm looking at three Tudor sieges that completely wrecked my assumptions about this era: - Henry VIII personally showing up to besiege a French city (and having to be hoisted onto his horse to get there), - a Protestant reformer who ended up as a galley slave after one of the most dramatic castle standoffs in Scottish history, - and a massacre on an Irish headland that the Elizabethan golden age narrative tends to skip past. Gunpowder was changing everything in this period. The Tudors were living in a world of constant violence and instability that the pretty portraits don't show us. And some of the most consequential moments of the 16th century happened not in a court or a council chamber, but outside a set of walls. Learn more about your ad choices.

1912 WILLIAM JENNINGS  RBYAN SPEECHAnatol Lieven examines Europe's missing voice in Kremlin negotiations, highlighting hurdles like sanctions relief and Russia's demand for Ukrainian withdrawal from the contested Donbass territory. 1.Anatol Lieven questions the lack of a clear strategy for US naval fleets near Iran, hoping for diplomatic compromise and economic opening rather than war. 2.Arthur Herman contrasts the Scottish Enlightenment's focus on liberty with the French "general will," arguing that collectivism historically descends into state violence and tyranny. 3.Arthur Herman argues that the American worldview rests on three Scottish pillars: unity of knowledge, common sense, and the harmonious integration of modern scientific discovery with ancient religious revelation. 4.John Yoo reports that in a 6-3 decision, the Court ruled that the IEEPA does not grant the president power to impose universal tariffs without explicit Congressional authorization. 5.John Yoo argues that the tariff ruling proves the Court is not a partisan tool, but an independent body upholding constitutional boundaries and judicial ideology. 6.Mary Anastasia O'Grady describes Cuba's regime reaching its limits, discussing the difficulty of replacing the leadership without causing total societal chaos, looting, or a power vacuum. 7.Doug Messier reports that persistent thruster failures and engineering incompetence have marred Boeing's Starlinerprogram, leaving astronauts marooned and NASA heavily dependent on SpaceX for crewed orbital missions. 8.Professor Evan Ellis reports that the death of kingpin Nemesio Cervantes triggered nationwide gunplay and roadblocks in Mexico, highlighting cartel dominance and the personal nature of the security forces' fight. 9.Professor Evan Ellis reports that a deadly clash between Cuban forces and an American speedboat underscores the island's dire economic crisis and massive blackouts caused by severe, ongoing petroleum shortages. 10.Professor Evan Ellis reports that the US allows Venezuelan oil resale to Cuba's private sector to empower citizens, while Nicolas Maduro faces criminal proceedings in a formal New York courtroom. 11.Professor Evan Ellis reports that constant leadership turnover in Peru complicates governance, raising fears that China's Chancay port could serve military logistics for the People's Liberation Army during wartime. 12.Josiah Hesse explores Mason City's religious history, linking the Music Man allegory to the Scopes trial and traveling preachers who exploited regional evangelical fervor. 13.Josiah Hesse describes his parents' journey through the apocalyptic 1970s Jesus movement into a prosperity gospel church that resulted in extreme poverty and financial disillusionment. 14.Josiah Hesse reports that Paul Weyrich used abortion as a wedge issue to mobilize evangelical voters, successfully aligning Iowa's religious community with the Republican Party during Reagan's campaign. 15.Josiah Hesse recounts the psychological fear of his religious upbringing while observing how Donald Trump's populism continues to resonate deeply with modern Iowa evangelical voters. 16.
