In 2020, Fort Russ News was hit by a major cyber-attack, so the website has been liquidated, but my articles (nearly 1,500 of them are still available on the Web Archives). I'm also active on social networks (particularly Telegram and Facebook), where I'm an administrator of various pages and groups dealing with the aforementioned topics. One such page that was recently deleted (thanks Zuck!) had over 150,000 followers, but we've since moved to Telegram, so we're slowly working toward rebuilding that following. Many other media have republished my work, the most prominent of which are Global Research, South Front, Veterans Today's Foreign Policy, as well as respected Serbian publications such as Politika. For the last two and a half years, I've been a daily contributor to the BRICS Information Portal.”   TIP/DONATE LINK for Grace Asagra @ Quantum Nurse Podcast https://patron.podbean.com/QuantumNurse https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=FHUXTQVAVJDPU Venmo - @Grace-Asagra 609-203-5854   Special Hosts:   Warren Monty Quesnell Facebook – Citizen Journalist Hartmut Schumacher www.dragonnous.com NICK PITRUZELLO (Algo Cowboy https://www.youtube.com/@AlgoFactory                    Founder Host:   Grace Asagra, RN MA Podcast:  Quantum Nurse: Out of the Rabbit Hole from Stress to Bliss TIP/DONATE LINK for Grace Asagra @ Quantum Nurse Podcast https://patron.podbean.com/QuantumNurse https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=FHUXTQVAVJDPU Venmo - @Grace-Asagra 609-203-5854 WELLNESS RESOURCES to help you in your health journey and to sustain this podcast: Premier Research Labs - https://prlabs.com/customer/account/create/code/59n84f/ - 15% discount - 15%_59N84F_05               AZURE WELL - PROMO CODE to SHARE - below OHWG10 to get 10% off orders of AzureWell How to place your first AZUREWELL ORDER: Step 1: Visit AzureStandard.com Search for your AzureWell items.

We return to Bosnia (last seen in 1998's Savior), and once more take in a film from the Serbian perspective. But this is no propaganda piece. Families torn apart, life long friendships destroyed, and one possibly haunted tunnel. A common language, a common culture, the death of communism sees sectarian violence reign supreme once more.

Friedrich Merz says the decisive win in the eastern state of Saxony-Anhalt by the far-right Alternative for Germany, AfD, signals the need for a major reckoning. The AfD's national co-leader, Alice Weidel, says it's aiming to win at least forty per cent in the next general election. Also: the funeral of the Bosnian Serb war criminal, General Ratko Mladić, has gone ahead in the Serbian capital, Belgrade, where some people consider him a national hero. The Lebanese president, Joseph Aoun, has warned of a "dangerous escalation" by Israel after women and children were killed in an air strike on a residential building in southern Lebanon. A new film about the most important weather forecast in British history, which gave the go-ahead for D-Day on the sixth June 1944, is released in the UK.

AP correspondent Karen Chammas reports Serbs have headed to Belgrade as former commander Ratko Mladic's body lies in state.

This week's installment of “Cuz It's Good for You” is a spine-chilling tale of horror about . . . cat people! Imagine the nightmare of someone cursed to take on the attributes of a cat! Watch in dread as a beautiful Serbian woman . . . ruins the furniture with her claws! Gasp in horror as she slowly deliberately . . . pushes a glass of water off a table! Shiver in your seat as the hell beast . . . refuses to eat the exact same food she enjoyed yesterday! Can your heart stand the strain as she gazes at the man besotted with her and demands to know if she can, in fact, haz cheeseburger? What twisted mind could concoct such infernal horrors? Well, it's in the Criterion Collection, so that means you not only have to see it, you have to appreciate it. Turn the lights down, enjoy a feast most fancy, and pray to Ceiling Cat to save your soul from this desperate tail. I mean, tale. Poll question What horror movie gave you nightmares? What monster stayed with you?

One of the best things you can do with your time is hire a boat that you can sleep on and float up a river for a few days.Time stops.Absorb the weather, whatever form it takes, but sunny is best. Breathe in the air. Sleep as the boat gently bobs up and down. Contemplate. Talk. Play games. Eat. Swim.Peace descends and nothing much matters any more.I've done this several times on the Thames and, having just spent a few days in Serbia, I now plan to do the same thing on the Danube. I just had a little taster. I flew out to Serbia because I was speaking and performing at Liberpulco, the European brother of Anarchapulco, an anarchy meet-up - I hesitate to call it a conference - held every year in Acapulco. The idea is that the European version should take place in Liberland.Wait! What? Where?Gornja Siga is a small area of river islands and floodplain in the Danube about three square miles in size (more when the river is low). For some context, it would be about the size of Gibraltar.The Danube forms the border between Serbia and Croatia. Following the break-up of Yugoslavia, there was no agreement as to who owned this floodplain. It was terra nulla.Enter Vít Jedlička, a Czech politician and entrepreneur, who declared the territory the Free Republic of Liberland and has been trying to establish his own micronation ever since. “We are building the greatest tax haven the world has ever seen,” I once heard him declare in a presentation.Jedlička is a wonderful speaker, a great publicist and highly entrepreneurial. For obvious reasons, the project appealed to alienated libertarians around the world.He began selling passports and citizenship. He appointed various ministers. The nation's coffers were held in bitcoin. The nation even declares an annual profit.However, he needs another nation to recognise Liberland, which no one has yet done (despite, I gather, Argentine president Javier Millei being a citizen), and of course the idea has gone down like a bucket of sick at the UN.You also can't currently access the island by boat from Serbia without running into the Croatian police. If you should attempt to dock your boat, the police will arrest you. I think the grounds are entering the EU illegally. I swam to within about 5 feet of depth but then lost my nerve as the Croatia police boat approached and swam back into deeper water. Keeping a boat permanently stationed there is costing the Croatian police millions. Most days nothing happens. The police just sit there bored. What a waste of a life.You can access Liberland from the Croatian side, and some settlers live there in tents. Might for fun for a bit, but probably not a long-term option except for the most dedicated.Jedlička has now bought a plot of land beside a lake in the nearby Serbian town of Apatin, called it Ark and declared a government in exile. They have built a campsite, a small conference centre and various other facilities. It feels as much like a holiday resort as a country.Here is your author by said lake giving his best salmon impersonation.I don't know the ins and outs of the whole thing, but the project appeals to me if only because I find its sheer irreverence very funny. And because everyone wants to start their own nation. Who actually does?So that was what brought me to Serbia. And I am most grateful to the organizers for having me.Dogs and cigarettesWe flew into Belgrade, which itself is a tricky place to get to (try getting there from the south of France) and from there drove three hours to the town of Sombor and our hotel.I loved Sombor.I felt as though I had gone back in time to how European cities used to be: sleepy, friendly and safe. The country is 99% Christian Orthodox, and, from what little I experienced, both there and in Belgrade pretty monocultural. Serbs mostly seem to speak very good English. They are shy, polite, respectful, ambitious, hard working, driven and they take whatever they are doing very seriously.It's not like many other countries I could mention where you get accosted everywhere you go. People mostly left you alone to get on with whatever you were doing. But if you needed anything, they couldn't have been more helpful.In Belgrade, for example, taxis don't seem to stop on the street and there is no Uber. It took me more than 24 hours to work this out. But randoms on the street were more than happy to stop, get their phones out and call a taxi for me. If I asked a random in London to call me a taxi, Lord knows where that would end up.The food was delicious. Lots of trout, catfish and pork. Not particularly cheap.People looked pretty healthy, I must say. No rampant obesity. Although there were plenty of older men who looked as though they had drunk their fair share of beer over the years.That was another thing that took me back in time. Everybody smokes. Lots of sitting around in cafés, smoking and presumably discussing existentialism. You go into restaurants and there is a smoking area and a non-smoking area, and the smoking area is often more crowded. I'm so used to non-smoking restaurants that I have to say I didn't particularly like the smell.Belgrade was the same. Not particularly cheap. Some excellent food. As good a steak as I have ever eaten.Av ery high dog per capita ratio too. Everyone seems to own a dog and, what I liked, even in the capital many seemed to walk their dogs off a lead. Like the UK in the 1970s early 80s before pitbulls, health and safety arrived.Belgrade's location where the Danube and Sava rivers meet means it has been enormously important strategically. How about this for a stat? It has been fought over in 115 wars and razed 44 timesLots of splendid Orthodox churches. Look at all that gold leaf.Quite a bit of graffiti too. I couldn't understand what it said, but presumably something to do with the war. It has an unpopular and corrupt government that faces weekly protests. According to one taxi driver, always a reliable source of political opinion, it promises to join the EU and never does. Like somewhere else I could mention, the population is split 50:50 as to whether joining the EU is a good idea or not. A beautiful central park with a fortress that looks like Helms Deep. Lovely walks along the Danube. Lots of views. Here's one of them.I managed to rupture a tendon in my knee playing pickleball a month back, and this gave me an unexpected insight into the Serbian healthcare system. My knee was hurting so I took to google and got an appointment that same day with an orthopaedic surgeon. The clinic was not in the centre of town so we got some insight into ‘the real Belgrade”. What struck me was the relationship between the doctors and their patients. It seemed so good. They all seemed to know each other. There was affection. They seemed to feel part of the same community. It was so good to see. I then had an MRI the following day, all for about a quarter of what I would have expected to pay in the UK. That was a good experience too.I liked Serbia and will go back. Next time I am going to get a boat and drift up the Danube for a few days. There is something about being on a river that strips life down to its essentials. For a few days at least, I will drift, gently sway, bob up and down and nothing much will matter any more.Here is this week's commentary, in case you missed it.Until next time,Happy Sunday,DominicIf you live in a third world country such as the UK, I urge you to own gold or silver. The pound will be further devalued, as will the euro and dollar. The bullion dealer I use and recommend is The Pure Gold Company. They deliver to the UK, the US, Canada and Europe. More here.

Russia's war against Ukraine intensified over the summer, with increasingly sustained drone and missile attacks raising new questions about what comes next and whether Moscow's confrontation with the West could extend beyond Ukraine. In this week's Talk Eastern Europe News Roundup, Alexandra Karppi and Adam Reichardt discuss the latest wave of Russian attacks on Ukraine, CIA Director John Ratcliffe's reported visit to Moscow and growing concerns about Russian operations against NATO countries. They also look at Germany's accusations of Russian involvement in a suspected sabotage plot near Leipzig airport.Turning to the Western Balkans, Alexandra and Adam discuss the death of convicted war criminal Ratko Mladić and the troubling glorification of his legacy in parts of Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. They also look ahead to Serbia's newly announced parliamentary elections, the challenge posed by the student-led opposition movement to Aleksandar Vučić's ruling party, and a new effort in the US Congress that could pave the way for sanctions against Serbian officials.Finally, they preview this week's Deep Dive with Professor James Ker-Lindsay on Russia, European security, Serbia, Turkey and the changing geopolitical landscape.In our extended version, for Patrons only, Adam and Alexandra reflect upon their summers in the United States and the overall mood there.

Naeimeh Zafar: Coaching Across Cultures, Resilience, and Leading Beyond BarriersWe believe that there is no algorithm for leadership. So we ask the world's great coaches how they do it. Naeimeh Zafar shares how coaching across Iran, Serbia, Qatar, Oman, Vietnam, Thailand, and France demanded cultural adaptation, humility, and clear communication when language and perceptions created barriers, and how she learned to respect athletes' privacy and judge only commitment and performance. She describes building resilience amid restrictions in Iranian women's sport, using her Serbian studies to raise coaching standards, and pursuing opportunities abroad when institutional constraints outweighed development. She reflects on the controversy and success of coaching a men's team in Oman—reaching a grand final and being voted best coach—and on staying focused while unable to contact family during war. She hopes her legacy is defined by discipline, professional values, and six coaching books.

The Seattle Sounders' winless run continued in Matchday 23 with a 2-2 draw vs. Chicago Fire FC at Lumen Field, but the Rave Green did get a memorable club debut from new No. 9 Dejan Jovelic. Does the super Serbian raise Seattle's ceiling in the race for trophies in 2026, or will it take more for the squad to emerge from its summer doldrums? That's one of the topics we'll discuss, along with the continued emergence of Sebastian Gomez, a look at the center back situation and the potential impact of the injury returns of Cristian Roldan and Jordan Morris.Later on, we'll jump around the league to discuss a standout performance from Philadelphia Union rising star Cavan Sullivan, a four-goal outburst from Lionel Messi, and a tense interaction between Chucky Lozano and Mikey Varas' in the LA Galaxy's match against San Diego FC.☕️ Lobbing Scorchers Kickoff is presented by QED Coffee, a Seattle-based roaster, coffee shop, and coffee subscription service.

Steve Flink joins the podcast to discuss a wide range of topics from the 2026 Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony to the start of The US Open, and his new excellent book about the greatest names in American tennis history. Flink, who was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 2017, recaps this year's festivities which saw Roger Federer and Mary Carillo take their place in tennis eternity. He also explains why his new book: "The Immortals of American Tennis," provides an all-encompassing look at the greatest and most impactful names the USA has produced in this sport. The author details his writing process, the emphasis on the pre-open era stars, and what readers can expect to learn as they dive into the pages. Flink also looks at the beginning of the 2026 US Open, which saw Novak Djokovic lose his opening match to Mariano Navone in five agonizing sets. The journalist recaps the match, details the biggest obstacles in Djokovic's way, and predicts where the Serbian legend might go from here. And Flink gives his thoughts on the other early storylines from Flushing Meadows, which included Carlos Alcaraz's return to the court, Stefanos Tsitsipas' huge upset win over Arthur Fils, and the decision to start the Venus Williams/Sofia Kenin match after midnight.

New Communist Party of Yugoslavia | 4 June 2026 This statement was issued on 1 June by comrades of the New Communist Party of Yugoslavia (NKPJ). We note that the promotion of fascism and the rewriting of the history of WW2 go hand in hand all over Europe, and especially in eastern Europe, where it is clear that the Nato imperialists are working hard to create more brainwashed and willing footsoldiers to throw into the frontlines of their war against Russia. Why is the Serbian government allowing neo-nazis to gather from all over Europe, spreading lies and xenophobic filth that can only serve imperialist aims of division and war? -------- Subscribe!

Before Robert Neville, vampires wore capes, slept in coffins, and hypnotized you from across a candlelit room. Richard Matheson looked at all that gothic nonsense and said "nah" — and gave us a vampire epidemic caused by bacteria instead of curses. This week, Elton cracks open Richard Matheson's I Am Legend (1954), the book that swapped Transylvanian castles for a fortified house in Compton and turned the last man on Earth into the actual monster of the story.GET THE BOOK FROM AMAZON HERE!⁠⁠FROM AN INDIE BOOK STORE HERE!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠BECOME AN Elton Reads A Book A Week CONTRIBUTOR HERE:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Elton Reads A Book A Week Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Buy Me A Coffee!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SOCIAL MEDIA!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠This is the LINK TREE!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join the Discord server!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠EMAIL: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠eltonreadsabookaweek@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The following section is reserved for the people, places, things, and more that Elton probably offended in this episode--THE APOLOGIES SECTION: Elton would like to apologize to the following people, places and things: The Edge, cheese, expletives, beards, beardless warriors, Kentucky, necks, every person, place and thing that I mispronounced.

Imagine being fifteen years old and having your head teacher tell you straight to your face that you will amount to absolutely nothing. For years, Gina carried that heavy, wounding line with her, pouring her energy into a relentless, high-stakes, fifteen-year career in corporate tech and consulting—constantly striving, doing more, and trying to prove her worth. But after years of managing massive, multi-million-pound projects for major organisations like the NHS and Sainsbury's, her body and mind finally hit a breaking point. She realized that society's version of success was nothing more than a fast track to burnout, and she had to learn a completely new way to exist.Together, Michelle and Gina unpack the psychology of overwhelm and how to outsmart it using simple, daily micro-steps. From treating your "future self" with kindness—like wiping down the kitchen sides before bed or packing with rucksack cubes—to her weekly ritual of "F*** It Thursdays," where she shoots for the stars to train her brain that it is safe to fail, Gina shares an actionable blueprint for mental freedom. They discuss why the word priority was historically only ever meant to be singular, why we must stop letting technology hijack our attention spans, and how to unpick our identity from our jobs so we can finally start living on our own terms.✨ IN THIS EPISODE:00:00 – Introduction: Meeting Gina, corporate tech consultant turned founder of Kind Too.02:15 – Written Off at 14: Surviving her head teacher's rude prediction and forging a career in tech consulting.04:15 – Directness as a Superpower: How living in Serbia forced Gina to ditch the email emojis and speak her needs in three words.07:15 – Touching the Ground: Learning to live with the seasons from her Serbian in-laws and finding happiness in simplicity.10:30 – Moving Millions: Working on high-pressure projects for the NHS and Sainsbury's while running from her past.12:10 – The Packing Cube Shift: Managing transitional moments and the physical structures built to protect her future self.16:15 – Compounding Kindness: Launching Kind Too and why taking three simple breaths is the ultimate act of self-care.22:15 – The Singular Priority: Why "priority" was never meant to be plural, and the danger of running on 18 focus areas at once.26:15 – The Overwhelm Trap: How Michelle battled a full-time workload schedule and why we must learn to strip things back.30:30 – Object Permeability & Accountability: The whiteboard trick, why out-of-sight goals disappear, and how to use "body doubling" to conquer boring admin.39:00 – Smaller Cycles: Building software, building lives, and why shipping the "scrappy blueprint" builds deep trust.48:15 – F* It Thursdays:** How shooting for the stars trains your brain that it is safe to fail.1:00:30 – Who Are You Without Your Job? Reconnecting with non-work hobbies and why Gina would tell her old teacher: "Thanks for the fuel."

Tobin of course has to let Leroy know the Stock Up, Stock Down from Dolphins practice today!

In this episode of the Explaining History Podcast, I examine the extraordinary diplomatic demands the United States has placed on Canada – demands that echo the Austro-Hungarian ultimatum to Serbia in July 1914 and raise profound questions about American intentions.The Trump administration's trade demands on Canada are not mere negotiations. They include provisions that would restrict Canada's ability to make trade agreements with other countries, effectively preventing it from diversifying its economy beyond the United States. They target the Canadian automotive industry, Quebec's French language and cultural rights, critical minerals, and agricultural markets. Taken together, they amount to a demand for the end of Canadian sovereignty – the ceding of economic, foreign, and domestic policy to Washington.I draw a historical parallel with the Austro-Hungarian ultimatum to Serbia in 1914. The Habsburgs presented demands designed to be unacceptable – including the right to send their own police into Serbian territory to conduct investigations. The Serbs accepted most demands but rejected the diminution of their sovereignty. War followed, and with it, the cataclysm of the First World War.Is America seeking a rejection? Or is this simply the chaotic flailing of a desperate regime? I explore the incoherence of Trump's policy – the simultaneous attempts to lay economic siege to Iran, to pressure China, and to bully Canada. This is not strategy; it is the kind of random, improvisational aggression that emerges from a dysfunctional administration where access to the president determines policy, and where policy changes with the weather.The comparison to the Nazi regime's chaotic decision-making – the "working towards the Führer" model – is not about equating Trump with Hitler, but about understanding how autocratic systems generate incoherence. When the leader is inattentive, lazy, and surrounded by competing factions, policy becomes a function of who has access and what they think they heard.The result is the rapid erosion of American credibility and power. Canada will not accept these demands. And the damage to America's standing in the world – already immense – will take generations to repair.Topics covered:The Austro-Hungarian ultimatum to Serbia (1914)Trump's trade demands on CanadaRestrictions on Canadian sovereigntyThe Canadian automotive industryQuebec's French language and cultural rightsCritical minerals and the tech industryThe incoherence of American foreign policyThe "working towards the Führer" modelThe erosion of American credibilityIf you enjoy the podcast, please consider supporting us – we are migrating from Patreon to Substack.

We're back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps, Major League Soccer, Leagues Cup, and Canadian Premier League chat. The Whitecaps' Leagues Cup campaign is over for another year, after three matches that saw them dominate games but unable to get their attack going and keep their defence together. After seven matches without a win since their return from the World Cup break, is there real cause for concern? Will the additions of Serbian midfielder Aleksa Cvetković and Canadian prospect Emrick Fotsing help turn things around and what else is needed? Could Daniel Gazdag be that guy? The Whitecaps lost a legend this past week as NASL winning goalkeeper Phil Parkes sadly passed away. We look at Lofty's career and replay a special interview we did with him seven years ago around the 40th anniversary of that famous championship win. All of this plus we look at the other Whitecaps news of the week, dip into the mailbag, look ahead to this weekend's Cascadia derby in Seattle, and talk about Pacific FC hurtling towards the worst kind of history in the CPL as another BC derby beckons While music-wise, The Fall are our Artists of the Month with a selection of unique cover versions, Episode Four feature as our C86 era song, and we've a song about awaydays in Wavelength from English band The Skinner Brothers. Here's the rundown for the main segments from the episode: 01.23: Intro - Ted Lasso is back, more Traitors talk, wildfire worries 20.00: RIP Phil Parkes 38.56: Leagues Cup exit highlights Whitecaps' flaws 66.35: Mailbag - what's on the minds of Whitecaps fans?

Let's go! Summer is still sizzling, and we have a banger for you today! Danilo Djuricic, a 6'8” guard from Brampton, Ontario, and of Serbian and Montenegrin descent, joins us on the eve of the CEBL finals for his home team, Brampton!  Once choosing hoops, Danilo attended St. Michael's College School in Toronto, where he was ranked among the top players in Canada's Class of 2017, before committing to Harvard. Over three seasons with the Crimson (2017–2020), he developed into a steady frontcourt contributor, posting a career-high 20 points against Rhode Island as a sophomore. His senior season was wiped out when the Ivy League cancelled its 2020–21 season due to COVID-19, so he used his final year of eligibility to transfer to Santa Clara in 2021. He turned pro in 2022, signing with BC Brno in the Czech NBL, and has spent multiple seasons splitting time between Europe and the CEBL's Scarborough Shooting Stars, re-signing with both organizations more than once (And now with Brampton). On the international stage, he represented Canada at the U16 Americas Championship (silver), the U17 World Championship, and the gold-medal-winning U19 World Cup team in 2017, where he averaged 10.4 points and 4.7 rebounds a game and led the squad in threes made. Beyond basketball, Djuricic has spoken openly about facing testicular cancer while simultaneously trying to build a pro career — framing it as part of a broader conversation about planning for life after sport. That dual focus — competing at a high level while thinking ahead to what comes next — seems to be a recurring thread in how he talks about his journey, which is exactly why you don't want to miss this Episode!   Danilo Djuricic - Guest https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danilo_Djuricic https://www.instagram.com/3danil0d   Aaron Mitchell - Host Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/a_a_mitch/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ahoopsjourney/

Day 1,627.Today, after a weekend that may have seen a record number of drones launched across Ukraine and Russia, we examine what it is actually like to endure a ballistic missile attack – and how different that experience is from a drone barrage. Then, as Kyiv and other cities come under constant bombardment from weapons Ukrainian air defences cannot reliably intercept, we assess the arguments made by some that Ukraine's increasingly ambitious strikes inside Russia could give Vladimir Putin the pretext he needs to mobilise hundreds of thousands more men. We also answer your questions about what Kyiv can realistically do to solve its missile crisis, revealing why President Donald Trump appears to have reversed course over giving Ukraine the blueprints needed to manufacture Patriot missiles.Contributors: Francis Dearnley (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @FrancisDearnley on X.Antonia Langford (Freelance Journalist in Kyiv). @Antonialford on X.With thanks to RAND engineer Michael Bohnert. @mbohnert on X.Producer: Rachel PorterSenior Producer: Lilian FawcettVideo Producer: Sophie O'SullivanSocial Producer: Tom SteedStudio Director: Meghan SearleExecutive Editor: Francis DearnleyCreated by David KnowlesNOW IN FULL VIDEO WITH MAPS & BATTLEFIELD FOOTAGE:Every episode is now available on our YouTube channel shortly after the release of the audio version.

She was the daughter of Scanderbeg, Albania's national hero. She married Stefan, Prince of Serbia, a kinsman of Scanderbeg who sought refuge in his court. Stefan, a gentle, God-fearing man, had been blinded by the Turkish Sultan. Princess Angelina, loving him despite his loss of his vision and his worldly kingdom, married him with her father's blessing. Together they had two sons, George and John. When their sons were grown, Albania was ravaged by an invasion of the Turks. Stefan, with Angelina and their sons, fled to Italy, where they lived until his repose in 1468. The widowed Angelina buried her husband in his Serbian homeland and devoted her remaining years to good works. Her elder son George gave up his princely title and entered monastic life. John married but died without children in 1503. When Angelina had outlived her two sons as well as her husband she too entered monastic life. She was buried with her sons at Krušedol monastery in northern Serbia. There her miracle-working relics are venerated to this day, and a service is held each year in her memory. She, her husband and her two sons are all glorified as saints of the Church.

Can an artist from outside a community become an effective force for change—or does arriving with good intentions risk repeating the very patterns the work is meant to challenge?Bill Cleveland joins Alice Lovelace and Barbara Schaffer Bacon to examine one of community arts practice's most persistent questions: when outsiders enter a community, what allows their work to take root, and what turns a promising intervention into a brief visit—or even a source of harm? Through stories from Serbia, Atlanta, Ohio, and rural Georgia, the conversation moves beyond simple answers and into the practical ethics of entering another community's living room.Listen for three ideas that can change how artists, hosts, and funders approach community-based work:Why local knowledge and leadership must shape the work from the beginning—not merely approve it afterward.How an outside artist can sometimes become a catalyst, witness, or lightning rod when local people cannot safely raise a difficult issue themselves.Why the deepest measure of success is not the artwork left behind, but the relationships, skills, confidence, and community power that remain after the artist leaves.Join us for a candid exploration of what it means to enter with humility, listen for the truth of a place, share leadership, and leave a community more able to tell—and act upon—its own story.Notable MentionsPeopleAlice Lovelace: Poet, educator, performer, and Executive Director of ArtsXchange whose decades of community-based practice inform the episode's most vivid stories about the opportunities and risks faced by visiting artists.Barbara Schaffer Bacon: Cultural policy leader and co-founder of Animating Democracy, known for advancing ethical, reciprocal, and civically engaged arts practice.Bill Cleveland: Host of ART IS CHANGE and longtime community arts practitioner whose book Art and Upheaval examined artists working amid war, oppression, displacement, and social crisis.Dijana Milošević: Serbian theater director, activist, and co-founder of DAH Theatre, cited for describing artists resisting tyranny as citizens acting inside their own community.Slobodan Milošević: Serbian and Yugoslav political leader whose authoritarian rule and the wars surrounding Yugoslavia's breakup form the historical setting for the discussion of DAH Theatre.John O'Neal: Civil rights activist, playwright, co-founder of the Free Southern Theater, and a major developer of story-circle practice in community cultural work.Liz Lerman: Choreographer, educator, and civic arts pioneer whose residencies model inquiry, participation, and shared creative leadership.Michael Rohd: Theater-maker, facilitator, and civic-practice leader whose community residencies use creative process to support public dialogue and local problem-solving.Organizations & InitiativesCenter for the Study of Art & Community: Producer of ART IS CHANGE and a resource for arts-based community development and cultural organizing.ArtsXchange: Atlanta-area interdisciplinary arts center connecting artistic practice, community development, environmental work, and social justice.DAH Theatre Research Center: Belgrade-based theater laboratory founded during the breakup of Yugoslavia, using performance as a form of resistance, memory, and civic engagement.Urban Bush Women: Black women-led dance company and social-change organization that combines performance, artist development, education, and deep community engagement.Animating Democracy: National initiative documenting and strengthening the role of arts and culture in civic dialogue, community change, and democracy.Appalshop: Appalachian media, arts, and education organization dedicated to telling stories from within the region and challenging stereotypes through locally rooted cultural work.CETA Arts Legacy Project: Project preserving the history of federally supported artist employment under the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act, referenced through artists who worked in communities with unusually open-ended assignments.Events & ProgramsHurricane Katrina: The devastating 2005 Gulf Coast hurricane whose aftermath prompted many artists to seek ways to enter affected communities and help—raising difficult questions about urgency, expertise, and the impulse to parachute in.Story Circle: A structured method for sharing personal experience, discovering common ground, and grounding community work in local voices; used in the Lima, Ohio residencies discussed in the episode. (See also, John O'Neal above)Building Blocks of Effective Community Arts Practice: ART IS CHANGE conversation series examining the skills, ethics, and strategies required for effective arts-based community work.Alice Lovelace — Episode 23: Earlier podcast conversation in which Lovelace recounts in greater depth the controversy, community response, and lasting impact of her work as an outside artist in Georgia.Publications & Learning ResourcesArt and Upheaval: Artists on the World's Frontlines: Bill Cleveland's examination of artists responding to war, oppression, cultural dislocation, and community crisis in places including Serbia and Cambodia.Literature Is History: The course Alice Lovelace created for young people in rural Georgia, grounding literature in lived experience and restoring the history, skills, and cultural gifts of enslaved Africans to the community narrative.Story Circle Facilitation: A Quick Guide: Practical guide to the community story-circle method developed through Roadside Theater and Junebug Productions.Places & InstitutionsAtlanta, Georgia: Home ground for Alice Lovelace's community arts practice and a central reference point for considering the difference between working inside one's own community and entering another.Evans, Georgia: Community associated with one of Lovelace's experiences of becoming a politically targeted outside artist whose resistance helped provoke local solidarity and institutional change.Lima, Ohio: Site of artist residencies where story-circle skills remained available to the community and were reactivated years later during a local crisis.Serbia: Major case study in Cleveland's work on artists responding from within communities experiencing authoritarianism and war.Cambodia: Referenced as another setting where local artists' long-term...

Deep in the karst mountains of eastern Serbia lives a monster no one has ever described, because no one who saw it came back. The Bauk waits in caves, holes, and abandoned houses, lurching through the dark on a clumsy gait, and it can only be driven off by two things: light and noise. For centuries, Serbian parents used it to make children behave. Tonight, two American YouTubers turn its cave into content... and learn why the old rules exist. In this episode: the real folklore preserved in the era of Vuk Karadžić, the meaning of "bauljanje," why scholars believe the Bauk is the ghost of a vanished predator, and an original story with an ending you will not shake off.   #Bauk #SerbianFolklore #SlavicMythology #FreakyFolklore #Boogeyman: #CaveHorror #BalkanFolklore #Cryptids #ScaryStories #FolkHorror #EeriecastNetwork   EXPLORE MORE SPINE-CHILLING CONTENT: Freaky Folklore: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/freaky-folklore Carman's Crypt (Original Horror): https://www.carman-carrion.com/ Deadly Intent (True Crime): https://www.carman-carrion.com/ Destination Terror: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/destination-terror ________________________________________ SUPPORT THE SHOW: Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/carmancarrion ________________________________________ CONNECT WITH CARMAN: Website: https://www.carman-carrion.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CarmanCarrion Twitter/X: https://x.com/CarmanCarrion Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carmancarrion/ ________________________________________ SUBSCRIBE & REVIEW: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0uiX155WEJnN7QVRfo3aQY iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/freaky-folklore/id1550361184 Your support helps bring you more terrifying tales. ________________________________________ DISCOVER MORE HORROR: http://eeriecast.com/ https://www.carman-carrion.com/ ________________________________________ MUSIC CREDITS: Music and sound effects provided by: ElevenLabs Learn more about your ad choices.

Before giving their take on Christopher Nolan's buzzy new Odyssey adaptation next week, Josh and Andrew go on their own epic journey back twenty years to look at one of his early hits among the cluster of 2006 magician thrillers, The Prestige!

Then, they have One More Thing, revealing Clive Barker's occult magician horror film Lord of Illusions alongside Leon Neyfakh and Gracie Canaan's investigative sex-work podcast OnlyFantasy.Next Week, see if our hosts think if Nolan's The Odyssey is a worthy gift or desecration of the Gods.

Jannik Sinner and Linda Noskova claimed the titles at Wimbledon, and ESPN betting analyst Pamela Maldonado is here to break down the thrilling conclusion to the major tournament on this episode. Maldonado explains why Sinner has the most complete game in the world, how he was able to turn the page after a disastrous Paris, and the areas Alexander Zverev has taken tremendous strides in his game and confidence. The analyst also examines Novak Djokovic's forthright comments after his semifinal loss, and where the Serbian legend goes from here. And Maldonado dives into Carlos Alcaraz's absence in the game, why he's sorely missed, and when we might see the 7-time major champion back. Maldonado also recaps the thrilling women's final that saw Noskova defeat her Czech compatriot Karolina Muchova in roller-coaster of a match. The ESPN betting expert highlights the keys to Noskova's victory, and examines whether Muchova can finally capture a major title in the future. And Maldonado highlights her other favorite moments from Wimbledon, which included strong showings from Naomi Osaka, Arthur Fery and Grigor Dimitrov. Hosted by Mitch Michals.

Proclus was the uncle of Hilarius; both were from Kallippi in Asia during the reign of Trajan. When Proclus was brought to be tried as a Christian, the judge asked him 'Of what race are you?' Proclus answered 'I am of the race of Christ, and my hope is in my God.' When the judge threatened to torture him, he said 'When you are afraid to transgress the Emperor's commands and risk falling into temporal punishment, how much more do we Christians fear to transgress against God's commands and fall into eternal torment!' When Proclus was given over to torture, his nephew Hilarius came forward and proclaimed 'I too am a Christian.' After torture, both were condemned to death; Proclus was crucified and Hilarius beheaded.   Imagine how the Orthodox Church would benefit if, when we were asked 'Of what race are you?' the first answer that came to mind was not 'I am Greek, Russian, Serbian...' but 'I am of the race of Christ!'

In the spring of 1884, a little-known Serbian immigrant named Nikola Tesla arrived in America with little more than a letter of introduction to the most famous inventor in the world – Thomas Edison. Tesla went to work for Edison, impressing his new employer with his intelligence and work ethic. But the two men were too different, too stubborn, and too convinced of their own vision to coexist for long. Tesla would break away, determined to prove that his own approach to electricity – a system run on alternating current – was superior to everything Edison had built.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
