This week, we've got a bit of a double feature! Speculation for Halloween Horror Nights 35 is officially running wild. On February 13th, we received another Speculation Map from Horror Night Nightmares. Nick and Shamus already gave their live reactions on YouTube, but we hadn't heard from Jamie… until now. Nick and Jamie revisit the map to see if there are any clues they might've missed the first time around. Plus, Nick and Shamus sat down with Vinny Pacifico a professional wrestler by day, horror actor by night. We talk about how he got his start in both wrestling and horror, and what chilling projects he has coming up next.

#724 LinkedIn isn't just a “nice to have” anymore — it might be the fastest way to build real B2B pipeline if you know how to play the game! In this episode, host Brien Gearin sits down with Shamus Madan, founder of Dealroom Media, to break down how his team helps founders go viral on LinkedIn and turn content into sales conversations. Shamus shares his origin story (starting a podcast at 15, working his way up to landing Mark Cuban), the hard pivot that saved his business after nearly running out of money, and the simple system they use today: biweekly founder interviews, turning those into high-performing posts, scheduling + approvals, and tracking results. They also unpack the difference between “virality” vs. “pipeline content,” the three ingredients of a winning LinkedIn hook, how often to post, what actually matters on your profile, and why content-first companies will win the next decade! What we discuss with Shamus: + LinkedIn as a pipeline engine + Virality vs. pipeline content + Founder-led personal brands + Three-part viral hook formula + Biweekly SME interviews + Content from conversations + Posting frequency (3–5/week) + Profile optimization basics + Month-to-month client model + Content-first growth strategy Thank you, Shamus!

Eric Beetner has been hailed as “the new maestro of noir,” by Ken Bruen and LitReactor said he's “The 21st Century's answer to Jim Thompson.” He has written more than 30 novels and his 100+ short stories have been featured in over 35 anthologies, including Palm Springs Noir, the Akashic anthology I edited that includes a story of Eric's, one of my favorites. Along the way he's been nominated for two International Thriller Writer awards, a Shamus, Derringer and four Anthony awards. He's won none of them, he jokes. Eric joins Barbara DeMarco-Barrett to talk about his most recent novels, the Carter McCoy series: Real Bad, Real Soon and The Last Few Miles of Road. They discuss why he likes to write trilogies— a third Carter McCoy is coming; why he chose to write a good guy who commits crimes, kind of a Dexter in Wisconsin; why he writes what he doesn't know; outlining; how it's vital to know the beats of a story; what becomes a novel and what becomes a short story; and more.

KB is BACK and kicks things off recapping the Phillies Intrasquad Game at Citizens Bank Park and the incredible environment that was on display as Red October is on the horizon. He then goes around the MLB Wild Card round as we have THREE Game 3s on deck and the Dodgers will be the Phillies NLDS opponent. Then KB is joined by Shamus Clancy for his first weekly appearance on the show and the guys put a bow on Eagles/Bucs, how the passing game can get going, and what's to come in this next quadrant of games for the Birds. They also gear up for Red October, wax poetic about playoff baseball, and their thoughts on the Phillies NLDS rotation setup. Then KB preview Eagles vs Broncos, why DeVonta Smith could pop off, and how to stop the Broncos one-dimensional offense. Then he wraps the show talking some Union soccer as the Boys in Blue can clinch the 2025 Supporters Shield title with a win on Saturday night and why it will be a special weekend in Philly!

This week on the Exciting & New podcast, Jason, Andy and Dana welcome Shamus back on the show as they discuss the 1985 horror film Fright Night.  In this one, Herman (from Herman's Head.  Remember that one?) and Marcy D'arcy work with Cornelius the Ape as they try to thwart Vampire Humperdinck from killing more area hookers.  This one also stars Evil Ed, who's career went in a somewhat different direction, but only Jason recognized him for his work in that (Google Sam Ritter, but make sure you turn your browser histroy off).  Enjoy the podcast.Jason, Andy and Dana will discuss a 1985 movie weekly, breaking down all the nonsense there within. The 3 hosts all work together and everyone else around them was getting really annoyed at all the movie talk, so they decided to annoy the world in podcast form.Check out previous seasons to hear them discuss 1982, 1983 & 1984 movies, as well as a full season of Love Boat episodes (if that is your thing).
