Welcome to Science Quest!

The ninth episode of season one of The Pub Crawlers Podcast was recorded 'Down The Local' in Liverpool, as Rob Gutmann hosts Steve Graves and James Sutton to discuss hen doos, soap opera pubs, bar etiquette and more... The Pub Crawlers Podcast represents a quest to find the very best authentic UK pubs, filmed on location inside some of the finest boozers across the UK and Ireland. Well, sort of. It's equally about friends having three to four pint-fuelled, quintessential pub conversations, on any subjects that damn well occur to them, in a range of outstanding boozers across the land. So, really, it's as much about what we get up to in pubs as the pubs themselves. The shows are presented by self-styled boozer connoisseur and long-time pub designer and owner, Rob Gutmann, who is on a mission to find the very best pubs in the UK and to define the essence of the ‘true' pub. Featuring a wide range of guests (mainly Rob's mates), we'll be visiting pubs the length and breadth of the country, bedding into the very best of them, and chatting about our lives lived in and around boozers. The first season of the Pub Crawlers focuses on the North of England, taking in Chester, Sheffield, Manchester, Liverpool, and even a brief foray to the north side of the Midlands in Nottingham. Plug yourself in to the ongoing conversation as it disappears down all manner of tenuously pub-related worm holes, with your new mates at TPC. And you don't need a pint to enjoy us, but it might help... Follow @pubcrawlerspod for more! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

At just 15 years old, Jarvis Cocker wrote a manifesto that laid out his vision for a band he hoped would take over the music industry.Jarvis discovered the document while sorting through the boxes of stuff from his early life that he'd stashed away in his attic.It was in an an old school exercise book from when he was a fifteen-year-old schoolboy in Sheffield.He'd filled it with detailed plans to form a band called Pulp that would storm the music industry.But it took fourteen years for his 'Pulp Masterplan' to come to fruition, when his song ‘Common People' went to the top of the UK charts.This interview was first broadcast in 2023 Further informationThis interview was recorded at the 2023 Melbourne Writers Festival Good Pop Bad Pop is published by Random House

He enjoyed a spectacular rise in The Beatles, and went on to become a gold-plated member of British music royalty. Hear how Paul McCartney, one of the last century's defining songwriters, became the UK's first billionaire rock star along the way. But how much of Paul McCartney's cash comes from royalties, tours or his ownership of other artists' back catalogues?BBC business editor Simon Jack and journalist Zing Tsjeng track Macca's journey from his working-class Liverpudlian roots, through his incredible career in music, to joining the global financial elite. Recorded live at the Crossed Wires podcast festival in Sheffield. Good Bad Billionaire is the podcast that explores the lives of the super-rich and famous, tracking their wealth, philanthropy, business ethics, and success. There are leaders who made their money in Silicon Valley, on Wall Street and in high street fashion. From iconic celebrities and CEOs to titans of technology, the podcast unravels tales of fortune, power, economics, ambition and moral responsibility. Simon and Zing put their subjects to the test with a playful, totally unscientific scorecard — then hand the verdict over to you: are they good, bad, or simply billionaires?

It's just Jem this week, mopping up the last suds of our post punk mini-series with a series of British bands who ripped it up and started again. We spend time with The Slits fantastic dub punk debut Cut, shouting out the production of the great Dennis Bovell on the way, then drive up the M1 to explore the rich pickings of that great musical city, Sheffield. With reference to an early Human League single, Jem unearths the imminent possibilities of the crumbling Fordist world. We hear two tracks from Public Image Ltd, before digging into one of our host's favourites - the Raincoats - to explore feminist aesthetics, Maoist China and an unlikely meeting with Kurt Cobain. We round out the piece with two classics from the mighty Clash. Not a bad haul for one year. We'll be away for a few weeks on various summer excursions, but will be back soon after with more music, dance floors, sound systems and counterculture.

Sheffield taps former Bedrock exec to attract national retailers You can get unlimited Olive Garden pasta for the first time in years

Three years ago Jamie Bedwell and his wife Abi were on this podcast as newly licensed professional triathletes with the world opening up before them. This week Jamie is back, riding solo, and the story has taken a turn nobody planned for. Three years of gradual deterioration. Chronic back pain, loss of power in the left leg, pins and needles that left him feeling, in his own words, more like a pirate with a wooden leg than a semi-decent triathlete. Every race ended the same way. Every solution fell short. Until earlier this year, when he finally got a diagnosis: flow limitation of the iliac artery, FLIA, a condition where the main artery feeding blood to the leg kinks under the repeated stress of cycling and running. There was a surgery. There was a one in five chance of it going wrong. There was a man in the waiting room who had been back eight times. And there was a surgeon who asked Jamie a simple question: why would you risk so much just to compete in triathlon? Jamie didn't need the six weeks he was given to decide. He said no to the surgery, yes to swimming, and started figuring out what comes next. This is one of the most honest and quietly moving conversations I have had on this podcast. 5 KEY POINTS FLIA affects competitive cyclists and triathletes specifically. Millions of pedalling repetitions thicken the iliac artery over time, restricting blood flow under race conditions. Day to day there is no pain at all. The surgery carries a one in five failure rate. If it goes wrong, the athlete doesn't just lose their sport. They lose the ability to walk uphill or ride a bike with their kids. Jamie said no to protect something bigger than his career. He wanted to remain in sport for the rest of his life. The surgery put that at risk. Once he understood that, the decision was straightforward. Swimming has always been his weakest discipline. He won his first open water race on the River Arun and qualified for the national championships in Sheffield. He is just getting started. Resilience isn't about pushing through. It is about knowing what you are actually fighting for and making decisions that protect it. 3 TAKEAWAYS Know what you are protecting. Jamie turned down surgery not because he gave up on sport but because he refused to risk losing it permanently. Discipline and love will take you further than a fixed goal. Jamie doesn't know where swimming will take him. He just knows those two things are enough. Identity is bigger than the sport. Jamie is applying for ordination, building a community of Christian athletes with Abi, and becoming, in his own words, a more gentle and humble person.   KILLER QUOTE "I'm so grateful there is such a thing called sport. Whether you're going to Park Run or competing at the highest level — sport gives every single person the opportunity to test themselves. And I'm grateful I still have that opportunity."   CONNECT with Jamie Jamie Bedwell is a former professional triathlete and competitive open water swimmer.

This week Tom & Zeus review the 2010 Sonic Boom Over Europe Tour which was in support of their 19th studio album, "Sonic Boom." This is SIOL's 13th KISS tour reviewed. Sonic Boom was released on October 6, 2009 and the tour began on May 1, 2010 in Sheffield, England in and ended at the Graspop Metal Meeting Festival in Belgium on June 27, 2010. This tour was with the final KISS lineup of Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Eric Singer and Tommy Thayer. The tour was strictly in Europe. When the support of the album went to the United States it was referred as the Hottest Show On Earth Tour, which SIOL already covered on Episode 121. The stage was different from the Alive 35 tour and featured a huge HD video screen and KISS updated costumes which modernized their 1970's look with a variety of different items. The setlist featured 3 new songs from Sonic Boom, Modern Day Delilah which opened the show, Say Yeah and I'm An Animal, and many of the classic songs from KISS. As usual, the guys breakdown the costumes, stage, set list and overall tour. They then rank the costumes, stage, set list and overall tour against the previous tours reviewed so far. So tune in and hear about a tour where KISS actually added songs to a setlist!   To Purchase Shout It Out Loudcast's KISS Book “Raise Your Glasses: A Celebration Of 50 Years of KISS Songs By Celebrities, Musicians & Fans Please Click Below:   ⁠⁠Raise Your Glasses Book⁠⁠   For all things Shout It Out Loudcast the #1 KISS Podcast check out our amazing website by clicking below:   ⁠⁠www.ShoutItOutLoudcast.com⁠⁠   Interested in more Shout It Out Loudcast content?  Care to help us out?  Come join us on Patreon by clicking below:   ⁠⁠SIOL Patreon⁠⁠   Get all your Shout It Out Loudcast Merchandise by clicking below:   ⁠⁠Shout It Out Loudcast Merch At Printify⁠⁠   Shop At Our Amazon Store by clicking below: ⁠⁠Shout It Out Loudcast Amazon Store⁠⁠   Please Email us comments or suggestions by clicking below: ⁠⁠ShoutItOutLoudcast@Gmail.com⁠⁠   Please subscribe to us and give us a 5 Star (Child) review on the following places below: ⁠⁠iTunes⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Podchaser⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Stitcher⁠⁠ ⁠⁠iHeart Radio⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Spotify ⁠⁠   Please follow us and like our social media pages clicking below: ⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Facebook Page⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Facebook Group Page Shout It Out Loudcasters⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠ ⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠   Proud Member of the Pantheon Podcast click below to see the website: ⁠⁠Pantheon Podcast Network⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

Luke Una has spent four decades at the heart of Manchester's underground music scene. In this episode, the co-founder of Electric Chair and founder of Homoelectric and Homobloc looks back on the clubs, record shops and communities that shaped him, from discovering house music in Sheffield to helping define Manchester's nightlife. He explains why reading a dancefloor matters more than technical ability, how eclectic music built Electric Chair's identity, and why creating spaces where people feel they belong has always been more important than chasing commercial success. Luke also reflects on sobriety, ADHD, creativity, the changing culture of clubbing, and why he believes young people are rediscovering the magic of dancefloors in an increasingly divided world.

On the morning of May 24th, 2019, police officers were called to a home on Gregg House Road in Shiregreen, a northern suburb of Sheffield, in South Yorkshire, England. They were responding to a call about violence towards children. When they arrived, six children were found unconscious inside the home; they were treated at the Sheffield Children's Hospital, where the two oldest children later died. Two people, 39 year old Brandon Machin, and 35 year old Sarah Barrass, were arrested for murdering two of their children. As if that wasn't bad enough, wait till you hear about the family history and how we got here.   Check out Patreon and our other shows!: Patreon.com/truecrimeguys Cryptic Soup w/ Thena & Kylee Strange & Unexplained True Crime Guys YouTube EVERYTHING TRUE CRIME GUYS:   https://linktr.ee/Truecrimeguysproductions True Crime Guys Music: True Crime Guys Music on Spotify OhMyGaia.com Code: Crimepine Patreon.com/truecrimeguys Patreon.com/sandupodcast Merch: truecrimeguys.threadless.com   Sources: INCEST PARENTS murder Teen sons to hide their DARK SECRET https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shiregreen_child_murders She Would Rather Kill Her Children Than Let Anyone Find Out Who Their Father Really Was https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=poW04X6gKhw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttx-KwDSRgg&list=PLqi51aibKx1kcGpi0VG8vg-JFRFkVi5q8 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The seventh episode of season one of The Pub Crawlers Podcast was recorded 'Down The Local' in Liverpool, as Rob Gutmann hosts Emilia Bona and special guest comedian Adam Rowe to discuss poos in pubs, chance night-out meetings, and who to trust with recommendations... The Pub Crawlers Podcast represents a quest to find the very best authentic UK pubs, filmed on location inside some of the finest boozers across the UK and Ireland. Well, sort of. It's equally about friends having three to four pint-fuelled, quintessential pub conversations, on any subjects that damn well occur to them, in a range of outstanding boozers across the land. So, really, it's as much about what we get up to in pubs as the pubs themselves. The shows are presented by self-styled boozer connoisseur and long-time pub designer and owner, Rob Gutmann, who is on a mission to find the very best pubs in the UK and to define the essence of the ‘true' pub. Featuring a wide range of guests (mainly Rob's mates), we'll be visiting pubs the length and breadth of the country, bedding into the very best of them, and chatting about our lives lived in and around boozers. The first season of the Pub Crawlers focuses on the North of England, taking in Chester, Sheffield, Manchester, Liverpool, and even a brief foray to the north side of the Midlands in Nottingham. Plug yourself in to the ongoing conversation as it disappears down all manner of tenuously pub-related worm holes, with your new mates at TPC.

Politics, parties and campaigning are all changing. AI, digital tools and the rapid spread of messages all mean that the conduct and content of politics are changing. In many respects, it feels like the only constant is change. But closer observation often illuminates a patchier picture with elements of change and elements that remain. Moreover, change can be more evolutionary than revolutionary, and the change is not always along the lines we might predict. So, how and in what ways is political campaigning changing? What role are digital tools playing? What do citizens want from their political parties, and what are they (or could be) doing to meet those desires and expectations? Join Tim Haughton and guest Kate Dommett for a discussion of campaigning, digital politics and political parties. Kate Dommett is Professor of Digital Politics at the University of Sheffield. Among her many publications are The Reimagined Party: Democracy, change and the public, published by Manchester University Press in 2020, and a co-authored book with Glenn Kefford & Simon Kruschinski, Data Driven Campaigning and Political Parties: Five Advanced Democracies Compared, published by Oxford University Press in 2024. Tim Haughton is Professor of Comparative and European Politics and a Deputy Director of CEDAR at the University of Birmingham.

Indy Johar (founder of Dark Matter Labs, systems designer) closes this 12-part series on the life-enhancing “what comes next” that we need (and want) to be creating. Indy is one of the world's most original voices on redesigning societies and he has a radical thesis that brings together most of the themes we've discussed so far. He calls it “civilisational optionality”. Our job is not to save civilisation or to know what comes next…. It's to preserve or expand the capacity for life (that is, humanity and the living world) to adapt to whatever comes next.Indy is an architect and Professor of Planetary Civics at Melbourne's RMIT and the University of Sheffield. He has advised organisations including the United Nations, the World Economic Forum, and governments across Europe and the UK, helping them solve all kinds of complex, entangled problems.In this very wild conversation, Indy returns to Wild to loop together many of the themes of this series – emergence, fascism, steering AI to a pro-human future and, importantly, wrestling with what it means to be human. An expansive, fun and very real finale, to be sure!SHOW NOTESYou can listen to our previous conversation: The Starkest Collapse Prognosis I've HeardWe discuss game theory, and I point to a former Wild interview that explains this, specifically “Moloch”.

Rondel Hunte & Johnny Kaufman return to KOTL to Stir The Pot!When should a lifter scratch an attempt and when they shouldn't, the biggest breakthrough star of Worlds, the biggest upset win at Worlds, who redefined their legacy at Worlds, which rematches from Worlds do they want to see, Who is the favorite between Agata vs Cranon, who is the most vulnerable World Champion, can Devonte Lewis beat Jesus Olivares, will Kjell total 800 kgs at Sheffield, should and will nations hire Head Coaches from other countries like GB did with Matt Gary, who is the favorite between Joe B and Ade if they clash at Sheffield, and Perk going 83 at Sheffield (why it makes sense).Hosted by Rondel Hunte, Johnny Kaufman and 6 Pack Lapadat

This playlist is 73% vinyl friendly. Not bad. The ‘cack handed’ HMV 1507 portable radiogram. When from? It’s old. An online post from nearly two decades ago… ‘… came across this rather strange record player, though quite admirably I resisted buying it! The casing is a bit weird in that the lid seems to cover the entire thing rather than sitting on a bottom half. Then a closer look at the record deck itself made me wrinkle the noble brow in surprise. The pickup arm rests at 90 degrees to the usual resting place. It looks almost back to front! Unfortunately it didn’t have a maker’s or model name, so unless someone can identify it and leave a comment then it will have to remain a mystery for another ten years or so… ‘ And then a decade later, the answer… ‘Your cack handed record player is an HMV 1507 portable radiogram. The type C cartridges almost never work when found now. It’s a cack handed design alright. The radio part is a transformerless AC/DC design but the record deck motor is AC only. Any track marked * has been given either a tiny or a slightly larger 41 Rooms tweak/edit/chop and the occasional tune might sound a bit dodgy, quality-wise. On top of that, the switch between different decades and production values never helps in the mix here. Lyric of Playlist 153 Gil… by a mile! 00.00 (Intro) THE FLAMINGOS – Stars (Edit) – Unreleased demo – 1983. Episode #1 for info. 00.41 NEW ORDER – World (The Price Of Love) (Perfecto Mix) * – 12″ – London – 1993 Nineties house music legend and a fave remixer of the band, Paul ‘Perfecto’ Oakenfold adding some clout and drive to an already sparkling song that, if I’m honest, didn’t in its era always transfer successfully to a live setting. Some of what was floating Oakenfold’s DJ’ing boat back in the day. DJ mag article, 15.10.94 06.51 BESERK IN A HAYFIELD – Club Paris – Cold Waves Of Color Volume 3, v/artists LP – Color Disc – 2016 ‘Packaged in a fancy pants paper cut Whoever Beserk In A Hatfield was/is, their mid ’80s output has regularly featured on re-activated label, Color Disc’s compilations… and they’ll be back here. 10.03 CHRISTIAN PROMMER (feat JUSTINE HOERWARTH) – Tryin’ Times – Rhythmique Nocturne, 2LP – Compost – 2026 Tryin’ Times? Ain’t they just! Maybe not a stream of consciousness in the vocals/lyrics department, at times they’re on more like a bit of a languid ramble… up against busying keyboards that occasionally remind me of Keith Jarrett… but it works! Classy Prommer over some ‘transparent splatter’ vinyl, with a ‘silver particles print’, to boot. 15.24 WATER FROM YOUR EYES – Nights In Armor – It’s A Beautiful Place, LP – Matador – 2025 That’ll be tears then. A duo out of Brooklyn, New York with more motif biziness and on exclusive ‘Clear Blue Smoke’ (with a signed 12″x12″ print, 500 copies) or ‘Coke Bottle Green’ vinyl. 18.34 LA RISSA – Surrender – Download only – 2026 Still with duos but from Brooklyn to Bradford, and never has ‘I wanted to knock your fucking lights out… ‘ sounded so dark wave pop. 22.45 BLONDSHELL – Heart Has To Work So Hard – Download only – 2026 Vocalist, Sabrina Teitelbaum is for some unclear reason doing her best to physically show us her heart on the accompanying promo shot (upcoming Violins album cover?) and I get the feeling her sound is possibly influenced by a bunch of bands in the ’90’s and noughties that passed me by. Could be wrong. 25.53 CABARET VOLTAIRE – Just Fascination (live) – But What Time Is It Really? LP – MemeTune – 2026 Given that the whole album was ‘Recorded on the UK tour Oct-Nov 2025’ and I was at four of the six dates, there’s a 66% chance I was at this performance and that of each of the other tracks. And as it stands right now, I’ll be at the last three of their last ever gigs come October 2026. An iconic and groundbreaking band bowing out, forty four years after I first saw them, below in 1982. 29.46 A CERTAIN RATIO – And Then Again (Flight 12″ version) – 12″ b-side – Factory – 1980 Simon Topping’s vocal on any ACR is such an era capturing moment for me. I can nearly feel the people, ‘sense’ the places etc I knew then. Thanks to the band’s gigography it seems though this track is not one I heard them play live in the times (including the above) I saw them before Topping’s departure in late ’82. 32.14 LONELADY – The Catcher – Former Things, LP – Warp – 2021 Julie! New music, if you please! Best, Dec. 36.29 THE DURUTTI COLUMN – Liars – Renascent, LP – London – 2026 Vini Reilly’s first album in fifteen years… and with maybe more lyrics on this track than on his entire back catalogue! Good to have him back. 40.13 BROKEN SPINDLES – Induction – Fulfilled / Complete, LP – Saddle Creek – 2004 A 180g vinyl album maybe before they became all the rage? Dunno, I lose track of time. Anyway, Broken Spindles was one Joel Peterson and the many layers Fulfilled / Complete was the second of six album sized projects he/it/they released in the noughties. I often wonder what peeps do when they stop making music… and I always hope it’s ‘keep being artistic’ 43.01 RAE & CHRISTIAN with TEXAS Vs THE WORKS – Hush (The Works Remix) – Grand Central Vs The Works-The Soul Sessions Vol-1, download only – ?? – 2026 The ‘Texas’ being wholly that band’s driver Charleen Spiteri, and here with a tad more motion/movement/swing than the original beaut. Hush is still lush. 46.51 GIL SCOTT-HERON (with PRETTY PURDIE and THE PLAYBOYS) – 7″ – The Revolution Will Not Be Televised – Flying Dutchman – 1971 Boy, would he have something to say if he were still alive. 49.50 SHY FX & KINGH – La Prima (B-side) – Download only – 2026 With a third of the utuuuube views that the dub-step’y and longer version has attained in the two months since release but this funkier take is the proper version. 51.16 DOROTHY ASHBY – Soul Vibrations * – 7″ – Cadet – 1968 In her time, a jazz harpist of some standing, with both the album (1968’s Afro-Harping) this cinematic feel track leads off and the single itself now costing serious money in their original form. 54.24 PATRICK COWLEY (feat PEGGY GIBBONS) – Ice Age – Hard Ware, 2LP – Dark Entries – 2025 Whether Ms Gibbons sounding a lot like Donna Summer was a coincidence or Cowley ideally would have liked the latter to get involved on this simple plodder I’ll never know but at least he got to later remix I Feel Love. 01.00.27 SHEILA CHANDRA – Satyam, Shivam, Sundaram – The Struggle, LP – Indiepop – 1985 After her Monsoon ‘Ever So Lonely’ days but she was still crossing over. 01.05.09 JAZZ THE GLASS – MeMorY PalacE – Download only – 2026 Dunbar in the area! Averaging a 41 Rooms appearance roughly every ten shows but in case there’s any suggestion of nepotism, with a whole bunch of tunes I haven’t played. 01.08.12 JC-001 – All My Children (Mother’s P-Phunk Mix) (41 Rooms – edit) * – 12″ – Anxious – 1993 A massive 41 Rooms edit to be honest… and if I was ever to have carried on DJ’ing, I’d have maybe opened any set with the a cappella of ‘All my children now… ‘ An idea to others? You’re welcome. 01.11.39 SIOUXSIE and THE BANSHEES – Happy House – 7″ – Polydor – 1980 Siouxsie once said of this, the band’s second top 20 hit: “It is sarcastic. In a way, like television, all the media, it is like adverts, the perfect family whereas it is more common that husbands beat their wives. There are mental families really but the projection is everyone smiling, blond hair, sunshine, eating butter without being fat and everyone perfect“. 01.15.03 EYELESS IN GAZA – (Across The) Pulse Of The Rain – Mania Sour, CD only – Ambivalent Scale – 2014 Often performed live in early EIG gigs but it took thirty plus years for them to lay down a studio version… and apologies for the slightly brutal intro I edited. 01.17.25 THE SOUND – Unwritten Law (Mike Read session, BBC Radio 1, Oct 1980) – The BBC Recordings, 2CD only – Renascent – 2004 Those BBC sessions – produced in just a few hours – very often turned up superior versions and though I’d possibly be outvoted on this, with more edge in the production and presence in the vocal I prefer this take to the one on their debut album, Jeopardy. 01.21.00 MISTY IN ROOTS – Wise & Foolish (John Peel Session) – The John Peel Sessions, CD only – Strange Fruit – 1995 For me, they were absolutely flying in their earliest (1979-1980) JP sessions, with Wise… being from the third of the nine they did for the great man. 01.25.49 MOUTH – Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea – Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea, 12″ EP – Emotional Rescue – 2016 Released thirty five years late(r) but added here to their only ever releases (2 singles)… and that’s definitely Mark Stewart ranting in there at the end. 01.32.24 BLACK UHURU (feat MICHAEL ROZE) – Party – 7″ – Ajang – 2000 A tough reworking of the band’s Party Next Door from 1983. 01.35.43 LADY BLACKBIRD vs CROOKED MAN – When The Game Is Played On You – Crooked Spirituals 12″ EP – Foundation – 2025 The power of electronics – in this case Sheffield-based Richard Barratt – reeeeally adding to a great vocal. 01.41.09 CARON WHEELER – In Our Love (Club Remix) – 12″ – EMI Records USA – 1992 One of a number of tunes she released after her Soul II Soul days proving she was making some top tunes post Jazzie B. 01.44.58 MARXMAN – Theme From Marxman – 33 Revolutions Per Minute, LP – Talkin’ Loud – 1993 ‘Marxist Hip Hop group, formed 1989 in London. Consisting of Bristol MC’s Hollis Byrne (H) and Stephen Brown (MC Phase) and Oisin Lunny and DJ K One from Ireland‘. – Discogs Were they the first hip hop act to play on the ‘revolutions per minute’ thing? 01.48.11 TALKING HEADS – Take Me To The River – 2×7″ – Sire – 1978 David Byrne sounding in less of a hurry to get to the water than Al Green on the original. 01.52.58 SOUL II SOUL – Back To Life (Club Mix) * – 12″ – Ten Records – 1989 Just a couple of tunes along, Caron Wheeler returns with the song she’ll always be remembered for. Show 154 will be with you Aug 2. Dec x The post Post Punk Plus Podcast Playlist 153 – Original upload 5.7.26 appeared first on 41Rooms.

They are in conversation with Dr Kathryn Higgins who has written about misogyny in the media in her book Believability: Sexual Violence, Media, and the Politics of Doubt. When award-winning poet and author Helen Mort became a stepmother, she went in search of some literary role models, but was sadly disappointed.

Lisa Lloyd is a campaigner for SEND children and the author of the best-selling book Raising the SENBetweeners. Following her own diagnosis with autism in her forties, Lisa explains how becoming a mother led her to discover she was autistic, and the challenges of parenting when you're neurodivergent. Lisa is joined by Prof Megan Freeth from Sheffield University's Autism Research Lab, who explains how autistic women can experience motherhood. And Nuala and Anita are also joined by Sheffield sportswoman Vanessa Ellis, head coach of the Sheffield Hatters Women's Basketball Team. She explains how she's followed in the footsteps of her mother, Betty Cadona, who set up women's Basketball in Sheffield in 1961.Presenters: Anita Rani and Nuala McGovern Producer: Olivia Skinner Editor: Karen Dalziel

The sixth episode of season one of The Pub Crawlers Podcast was recorded 'Down The Local' in Liverpool, as Rob Gutmann hosts Steve Graves and Josh Sexton to discuss crisp selections in pubs, Gen Z and the rise of the 'old man boozer', and more... The Pub Crawlers Podcast represents a quest to find the very best authentic UK pubs, filmed on location inside some of the finest boozers across the UK and Ireland. Well, sort of. It's equally about friends having three to four pint-fuelled, quintessential pub conversations, on any subjects that damn well occur to them, in a range of outstanding boozers across the land. So, really, it's as much about what we get up to in pubs as the pubs themselves. The shows are presented by self-styled boozer connoisseur and long-time pub designer and owner, Rob Gutmann, who is on a mission to find the very best pubs in the UK and to define the essence of the ‘true' pub. Featuring a wide range of guests (mainly Rob's mates), we'll be visiting pubs the length and breadth of the country, bedding into the very best of them, and chatting about our lives lived in and around boozers. The first season of the Pub Crawlers focuses on the North of England, taking in Chester, Sheffield, Manchester, Liverpool, and even a brief foray to the north side of the Midlands in Nottingham. Plug yourself in to the ongoing conversation as it disappears down all manner of tenuously pub-related worm holes, with your new mates at TPC.

The organic certification body, the Soil Association, is warning it may withdraw from the farmed salmon sector unless higher standards are met. The organisation says while current standards are being satisfied, that's not driving the improvments in the industry that they want to see. They cite high fish mortality, unacceptable levels of sea lice, and the use of harmful chemical treatments. The industry body says its salmon farmers are committed to the highest standards of fish welfare and environmental responsibility. As we take a closer look at soils all this week, today we meet two Sheffield university researchers who are investigating the properties of micorrhizal fungal networks, which bind together millions of micro organisms - the protection of which many see as the solution to soil health. And as the climate becomes more extreme, the management of water in farming will become more vital than ever. With this in mind, a pilot study has been taking place in Shropshire to assess how technology can help farmers pre-empt risks from flooding and drought. Scientists have even developed an app to give landowners a better idea of what they might face.Presented by Anna Hill and produced by Sally Challoner.

In this episode of OffScript, Dash Arts' Artistic Director Josephine Burton heads out into the land itself and into the long, tangled history of who has felt at home there, and who has had to fight to claim it.Join us to explore connection, place, and the ever-evolving landscape of English identity.First, she talks with Toni Murphy, founder of Touching Grass, a community creating space for queer women, trans and non-binary people of colour to experience the outdoors as somewhere that belongs to them. Toni describes the hiking trips, camping and the careful acts of presence in landscapes that haven't always felt welcoming. Then Josephine takes the longer view. What does history tell us about who has always assumed the countryside is theirs and what have people done when that assumption has been challenged? With Professor Alan Finlayson, one of the UK's leading political and social thinkers, she traces the deep roots of England's relationship with its land, all the way to the present and to Andy Burnham MP's recent journey down from the north to Westminster, reclaiming something as he went.Find more information on Touching Grass and their latest events: www.touchgrasscamp.comOur Public House arrives in London this week at the Marylebone Theatre for its final run, after a national tour through Leeds, Prescot, Coventry and Sheffield.

The English Renaissance is often remembered as an age of Shakespeare, exploration and cultural flourishing. But it was also shaped by encounters with the Americas. From tobacco in London playhouses to silver from South America and stories of lost cities of gold, the New World became an increasingly powerful presence in English life and imagination. In this episode, historian Caroline Dodds Pennock speaks with historian Lauren Working about her new book How the Americas Transformed Renaissance England. What did Elizabethans actually know about Mexico, the Amazon rainforest, or the Chesapeake? How did Indigenous people and knowledge enter the art, fashion, and literature of Shakespeare's time – and at what cost? Drawing on a wealth of overlooked sources, Working explores how the Americas became woven into the fabric of Tudor and Stuart society. In doing so, she offers a fresh perspective on England's so-called golden age, revealing the global exchanges, ambitions and inequalities that helped shape the English Renaissance. Lauren Working is a historian specialising in the cultural and intellectual history of the early modern Atlantic world. She is a lecturer in Early modern literature at the University of York. Her new book is A Golden World: How the Americas Transformed Renaissance England. Caroline Dodds Pennock is a historian and author whose work focuses on Indigenous American history and the histories of encounter between Europe and the Americas.

This month we are featuring a feed drop from The Penumbra Podcast one of the brilliant shows on the RQ Network. This episode is called “Knight of the Crown Lord of the Swamp Part 1 “and is from the 2nd season of the Second Citadel, a fantasy epic where friendships and romance are forged across enemy lines, which follows the fierce Sir Carolinem the first female Knight of the Crown, leading an eclectic team of warriors against mind-manipulating monsters. In this episode The Festival of the Three is the most important day of the year in the Second Citadel – or the most important three days, as the case may be. Battles and music and drink run free in Citadel's square, and nearly every knight is in attendance… which leaves very few to guard from the monsters' constant threat.Luckily, Sir Damien is on guard tonight, standing outside the Queen's chambers with his trusty bow in hand. But Sir Damien is injured, and when a monstrous threat crawls in, he may find that it's a very different sort of challenge from what he's used to.Introduction and outro by Karim Kronfli.

Wednesday 20th of March 1985, the 9:02pm slow train from London Euston to Birmingham New Street pulls out of Coventry Station, having passed through Northampton, Long Buckby and Rugby. It was silent, empty, and as the lone passenger slides open the door, in an off-side compartment, he saw blood up the windows and its seats saturated in a dark goo, as running twelve feet from the seat to a door stained with red sticky prints, a ‘river' of blood ran along the aisle.A woman had been brutally murdered, and her body was missing, But how, and why?Location: 9:20pm slow train from London Euston to Birmingham New StreetDate: 9:20pm departure, 2:30am body foundVictims: Janet Mary Maddocks Culprit: Jack Roy JuniorSeven time nominated at the True Crime Awards, Independent Podcast Awards and the British Podcast Awards, Murder Mile is one of the best UK / British true crime podcasts covering only 20 square miles of West London.

A terrifying vision, a terrifying UFO encounter, and evidence of the encounter buried in his arm – if true, Tim Cullen's story could change everything we think we know about extraterrestrials.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/timcullenREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/433fftc2FEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Tim Cullen's life changed forever after a chilling dream in 1978. It wasn't long after that he had bizarre encounters with UFOs, was abducted by aliens, and found a strange piece of metal embedded in his arm. Were these encounters real? If so, what secrets lie within the alien implant removed from his body? (The Alien Abduction of Tim Cullen) *** The life of Martha Place took a dark turn in 1899. Convicted of a brutal murder, Martha faced a horrifying punishment… she was about to become the first woman to be executed by the electric chair. (The First Woman in the Electric Chair) *** We'll look at a double-murder case where real crime collides with reality TV, resulting in real-life horror. (The Wife-Swap Murders) *** Steve's childhood was marked by inexplicable and spine-chilling encounters. Eerie breathing sounds, a manifestation at his bedside, being pushed down the stairs… all without a rational explanation. Even moving away wouldn't bring his paranormal tormenting to an end. (The Entity That Follows) *** The urban legend of "The Licked Hand” is a chilling tale that has been whispered around campfires and shared at sleepovers for generations, tapping into our deepest fears of invasion and vulnerability. But this isn't just any ghost story; it's a timeless warning about the dangers lurking in the darkness, waiting to infiltrate our homes and lives… and it even has a bit of truth to it.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: April 10, 2024This episode of Weird Darkness moves from a recovered alien implant in a Colorado man's forearm to the first woman ever sent to the electric chair, through the campfire legend of the licked hand, a Wife Swap family destroyed by one son's gunfire, and a breathing entity that stalked a boy from one English city to another.It opens with Tim Cullen, who dreamed on April 2nd, 1978 that he would be in a violent traffic accident, then lived it a week later on April 9th when his friend Ken Ruberg's car rolled over multiple times and left Cullen with a broken neck. Recovering in the hospital, he had a second vivid dream, this one of a UFO, and on May 30th of that year, while driving Highway 59 home from a checkup with his pregnant wife Janet, the couple watched a silent, glowing craft roughly 100 feet long hover over a pasture with two diffused lights — one yellow, one red — glowing at its rear. Cullen reported two more sightings along the same Yuma, Colorado stretch of road, one in 1980 and another in 1994 witnessed by his wife and three daughters, but the encounters faded from his mind until 1998, when he hit his thumb with a hammer and Dr. Mark Hubner at the Yuma Clinic spotted a piece of metal lodged in his forearm on the X-ray. Convinced the object was an alien implant, Cullen contacted Roger K. Leir, who surgically removed it on February 5th, 2000 in Thousand Oaks, California — a melon-seed-shaped fragment about 7 centimeters long, wrapped in a reddish-brown membrane, with a magnetic core that leapt half an inch off the table toward a magnet.From there the episode turns to March 20th, 1899, when Martha Place became the first woman executed in the electric chair at Sing Sing Prison in New York, a procedure so unfamiliar with a female prisoner that her executioners cut a slit in the black dress she had sewn herself to reach her ankles. Born Martha Garrettson in Millstone, New Jersey in 1849, she had been struck in the head by a sleigh at 23 and, her brother believed, never fully recovered. After marrying widower William Place and coming to hate her teenage stepdaughter Ida, she threw acid into the 17-year-old girl's face on February 7th, 1898, smothered her with bedding, and waited with an ax for William, whom she wounded as he stepped through the door. Governor Theodore Roosevelt refused to commute her sentence, and after the words "God help me," 1,760 volts ended her life at the age of 49.Next comes the urban legend of the licked hand, in which a girl left home alone with her German Shepherd reaches down through the night to feel a reassuring lick, only to wake and find her dog skinned in the shower and the words "Humans can lick too" scrawled on the mirror. The legend's roots reach back to an 1871 entry in The Diary of a Victorian Squire by Dearman Birchall, run through M.R. James's 1919 story "The Diary of Mr. Poynter," and surface in the film Urban Legend with its "aren't you glad you didn't turn on the lights" variant. Folklorists including Trevor Blank of SUNY Potsdam account for the tale's endurance, and its dread finds a real-world echo in Dennis Rader, the BTK strangler, who cut the phone lines at Marine Hedge's home on April 27th, 1985 and hid in her closet for hours before she returned.The episode then examines a double murder rooted in reality television, the case of the Stockdale family, who appeared on an April 23rd, 2008 episode of Wife Swap trading mothers with the easygoing Tonkovic household. Raised under a strict religious regime that banned video games, dating, and most contact with the outside world, Jacob Stockdale fatally shot his mother Kathy and his brother James in the head on June 15th, 2017 in Beach City, Ohio, then survived a self-inflicted gunshot. He pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity and tried more than once to flee the mental institution holding him, including a plan to hide behind stacks of books being carted out, but Dr. Arcangela Wood judged him sane at the time of the killings. Jacob ultimately pleaded guilty and received two consecutive 15-year terms, 30 years for the deaths of his mother and brother.The episode closes with an account written by UFO Insight's Marcus Lowth and told to him by a man he calls Steve, who first heard breathing beside his face at age three or four in 1970s Newcastle, England. The encounters escalated over the following years — an invisible finger shoving his cheek, the manifestation of a grey-haired man around 50 in an old-fashioned suit at his bedside, and a push that sent him tumbling down a full flight of stairs in daylight. When the family moved to a semi-detached house near Sheffield in Yorkshire, the presence followed, culminating one night around midnight when Steve, then eight or nine, felt invisible knees pin him to the mattress and unseen hands tighten around his throat until the grip suddenly released and the breathing drained away into the distance. It never returned, leaving unresolved whether the entity was a poltergeist drawn to a child, the lingering ghost of an old man, or something demonic that fixed on a person rather than a place.
