Podcasts about skulduggery

Today we're talking about the book series that has meant more to us than any other, Derek Landy's Skulduggery Pleasant. We go through our entire history including first reading these books as pre-teens, obsessively importing the sequels from the UK, and aging out of the first series right when it all came to a close. Also, why we hate having to drip faucets. (Recorded January 14th, 2024.)

Weeks, and we mean WEEKS ago, we asked you for your best Skulduggery Pleasant headcanons, and you oh boy. You did NOT disappoint...

To say that Winston Peters is the Donald Trump of New Zealand politics would probably be going too far. But after his nonsense on the X social media platform about Dame Jacinda Ardern and the Christchurch mosque attacks, you've got to say he's got a touch of the old Donald about him. And it's being suggested today that, after all his nonsense this week, he has shown once-and-for-all that he's not fit to be in government again. Political commentator Matthew Hooton is saying this in the NZ Herald and he reckons the NZ First caucus should read the tea leaves and ditch Peters as leader. And, if that doesn't happen, Christopher Luxon should just pull the plug on any idea of going into coalition with NZ First. Now the first option is never going to happen, is it? There will never, ever be any sort of coup within New Zealand First. Because they know the only reason they're MPs in the first place is because of Winston Peters. So they're never going to bite the hand that feeds them and get rid of him. So that leaves Christopher Luxon who, according to one headline I've seen, was having dinner at Winston's house on Wednesday night when he was busy talking nonsense on social media. Maybe when Winston kept getting up-and-down from the table, Luxon thought he was just ducking-off to the kitchen to stir the sauce. But he'll know now, won't he, that Winston was actually stirring the pot on social media. So what he did, was go online and say that it was outrageous that it wasn't until the start of the coroner's inquiry into the March 15 mosque attacks this week that we found out that the Prime Minister's office had been alerted of the attacks just before they happened. This was the email the terrorist sent to the PM's office and others, including media. Here's what Winston Peters said in his tweet: “We waited until today to find out, for the first time, that the Prime Minister's Office received information about the March 15 terrorist attack before the massacre took place. “Jacinda Ardern should be called to the hearing and asked to explain this appalling lack of transparency to the New Zealand public - let alone to the Deputy Prime Minister and government coalition partner. “This was a crisis event. To keep this basic information hidden is not only unacceptable it is now clearly indicative of how that office worked. The next question is, who else inside Cabinet knew and said nothing?" Which is just balmy. Because Jacinda Ardern revealed the day after the attack that her office had received the email from the terrorist. But it's not just balmy, it's sinister - because it implies some sort of government cover-up, doesn't it? Then later on Wednesday night, he went online again and acknowledged the email had been discussed at a media conference the day after the attacks. But he doubled down on his criticism of Jacinda Ardern saying, that when he had a phone conversation with her immediately after the attacks, she didn't tell him about the email. What's more, he still hasn't deleted the original nonsense he posted about “shock, horror, this is the first time we've heard about this. This is a government cover-up. Blah, blah, blah.” Just absolute nonsense. And I agree with Matthew Hooton. Winston Peters has well-and-truly shown that he is past his use-by date and shouldn't be allowed anywhere near the Cabinet table. As he says in the Herald today, NZ First's Shane Jones, Jenny Marcroft and the rest of them now need to decide if they want to be able to look themselves in the mirror. Or whether they're going to turn a blind eye to their leader trying to score political points out of the mosque tragedies. Which, in my mind, is unforgiveable. Matthew Hooton is also saying today that Christopher Luxon and National now have some soul-searching to do, as well. He says if Winston Peters' online activities on Wednesday night aren't enough for him to be persona non-grata for National, then what would be? And I agree. In my mind, Winston Peters has blown it. And National should get real, show some fortitude, and stand up and say it wants nothing more to do with Winston Peters.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

John and Craig host another round of the Three Page Challenge, selecting three listeners' scripts for feedback on what's working and common pitfalls to avoid. They offer insights into the tricky issues when cheating movement, formatting non-English dialogue, and the importance of logic in comedy. But first, we answer some long-gestating listener questions: What are strategies for writers to option IP on their own? Can you use your smart relative for dialogue? And how do you discuss co-creators of projects when meeting with a potential rep? In our bonus segment for premium members, John and Craig gloat about all the things they can get away with never having to do — everything from calculus to remembering their children's phone numbers.

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker break down the Blue Jays' 7-4 loss to the Yankees to open the series at Rogers Centre. They take your calls, and get another dismal outing for Alek Manoah, who walked seven batters before getting yanked. Can anything be done about this beyond sending him to the mound every fifth day? Plus, they discuss the potential controversy of Aaron Judge seemingly glancing at the Yankees dugout before crushing a Jay Jackson pitch for a home run - what was he looking at, and could this snowball into anything? The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

*Banned from elite schools due to the circumstances of his birth, Leonardo propelled his own education through endless reading, observation and experimentation. *He found refuge in the world of art, where his paintings of sacred dramas and Earth-based beauty astonished contemporaries. *Today, most of us know the name Leonardo da Vinci and something of his genius, but little of the full breadth of his creative impact and achievements. *Acclaimed biographer Walter Isaacson's richly illustrated book, published ahead of the fifth centenary of Leonardo's death, fills the gaps. He uses as his primary source material the extant notebooks – 7,200 pages survive, scattered in collections across the world, teeming with sketches and jottings – which demonstrate Leonardo's insatiable curiosity about the world and his understanding of the interconnectedness of nature. *The book tracks da Vinci's astonishing advances in art and technology which helped power Europe's cultural rebirth. It also brings alive da Vinci the man, the original Renaissance man, revealing the ways he was both ahead of his time, and of his time.

Snatching bodies from graves to sell them to medical and anatomy schools was once a super-common reason for disinterring corpses, but it's definitely not the only reason people have disturbed the dead. And as strange as this may sound, it turns out many people have had their skull stolen from their grave -- sometimes for research, sometimes for ransom, and sometimes, because they were considered prized possessions.

Laura asks Derek all of her burning, weird and wonderful (and painfully stupid) questions about the world of Skulduggery Pleasant. Derek, unfortunately, answers them.

Back by popular demand, historical fiction author, Paul Rushworth Brown joins us on The Witty Writers show, live, to tell us all about his fantastic new novel, Red Winter Journey. Here's what the US National Times has to say... “Modern writers usually know what it was like to live in the past but Rushworth-Brown has done this with great skill in this accomplished, atmospheric, and thoughtful novel.” A kidnap, a battle for survival, forbidden love, and a civil war tick all the boxes for a thrilling read. Red Winter Journey has twists, turns, and intrigue until the very end. Pauls Rushworth Brown's Bio: Paul Rushworth-Brown was born in Maidstone, Kent, England in 1962. He spent time in a foster home in Manchester before emigrating to Canada with his mother in 1972. He spent his teenage years living and going to school in Toronto, Ontario where he also played professional soccer in the Canadian National Soccer League. In 1982, he emigrated to Australia to spend time with his father, Jimmy Brown who had moved there from Yorkshire in the mid-fifties. Paul was educated at Charles Sturt University in New South Wales, Australia. He became a writer in 2015 when he embarked on a six-month project to produce a written family history for his children, Rachael, Christopher, and Hayley.

You can fool most of the people, most of the time. All of us have fallen victim to a con or a hoax at some time, even if we are too proud or ashamed to admit it. But there have been some fabulous and 'victimless' hoaxes through the years that we will highlight in this weeks episode, along with a bonus chat about the world's greatest Native American, Sitting Bull. Sitting Bull should serve as a shining example to todays 'leaders', a lesson on how to act with pride, honour and integrity. We need more Sitting Bulls.

Luke Grants speaks again with Ben Cook from iCook Foods, which was allegedly shut down by dodgy bureaucratic intervention.    A parliamentary enquiry in Victoria is soon to be reopened following a series of recent revelations about the circumstances of the company's closure, ordered by the Department of Health and Human Services.   These included the Herald Sun revealing DHHS had received a Knox Council report that an elderly woman who died with listeria in her system had not eaten a sandwich prepared by Cook.   The alleged sandwich connection was used as justification for the shutdown, despite the department already having a copy of the report clearing iCook. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Luke Grant is joined by Ben Cook from iCook Foods, with an extraordinary tale of corruption, cover-up and skulduggery involving his Melbourne catering business where a fresh criminal investigation has been launched into allegations council health officials sabotaged the multi-million dollar business by planting a garden slug in its kitchen.   The Victorian Chief Police Commissioner Shane Patton in April ordered a review of the initial investigation weeks after the Herald Sun revealed it had ended with no one being arrested or interviewed.   A briefing paper by the initial investigator, Sgt Ash Penry, emerged in April saying that the shutdown order – which cost more than 40 jobs – was unlawful and caused destruction of food worth $700,000.    Allegations have emerged that senior City of Greater Dandenong officials pressured a health inspector to give false evidence against iCook.

Skulduggery, bullying and death threats in New Zealand's rabbit breeding community.

In 1883, Missouri real estate broker James Reavis announced that he held title to a huge tract of land in the Arizona Territory. If certified, the claim would threaten the livelihoods of thousands of residents. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll tell the story of the Baron of Arizona, one of the most audacious frauds in American history. We'll also scrutinize British statues and puzzle over some curious floor numbers. Intro: In 1891, Charles Dodgson wrote a curiously unforthcoming letter to Nellie Bowman.

Against all odds, Dems proved that they could deliver a powerful and heartfelt message - even remotely at their first COVID Democratic National Convention. Trump rages on the stump about his conversation with God Almighty, leaving even his MAGA Disciples stunned. Trump rails against Mail-In Voting and denigrates the USPS, allowing his crony Louis DeJoy, to literally remove mail boxes from street corners while destroying million-dollar postal sorting machines. Michelle Obama showed why she was the right choice to be featured first in this remote DNC line up. She spoke in no uncertain terms. She said that President Trump has failed and must go. With that, she empowered her audience with instructions: no matter what it takes “Get Out And Vote as if your life depends on it."

Our Giro arrives in Sicily and Richard Moore, Lionel Birnie and Daniel Friebe discuss the race’s rich history of controversy, tactical ruthlessness and downright cheating. From police raids to outlandish excuses for positive doping tests to Richard’s shocking wine-tasting notes, we cover it all. We talk about Eddy Merckx’s positive test at Savona in 1969, the day a rampant Marco Pantani was stopped in his tracks and kicked out of the race, the stage that pushed the legendary race director Vincenzo Torriani to the limit, and the internal rivalry between Carerra teammates Roberto Visentini (the defending champion) and Stephen Roche in 1987. Plus there’s arguably the first social media controversy. Having visited Sicily with the Giro twice in recent years, our coverage of the mafia has been perhaps superficial so we get the lowdown on the organised crime network from an expert, author and historian John Dickie. And Lionel cooks a delightful summery dish of pasta alla norma with the expert guidance of award-winning food writer Felicity Cloake. The Cycling Podcast is supported by iwoca and Science In Sport.

We also look at the plethora of releases from the Genesys Foundry, break into the Skulduggery skill, and speak with the author of Terrinoth Taverns, Chris Markham, about his amazing product. So, listeners, grab your magic staff and your lockpick set, and join GM Chris and GM Hooly as they venture into the thermonuclear wastelands of the Genesys Role Playing Game on The Forge Podcast.

Politicians like to say that elections are won on doorsteps. But most of them now spend almost as much time on their Facebook pages and Whatsapp groups. But who is policing Facebook and messaging groups for misinformation, planted false stories and algorithm-gaming? It's not the BAI. It's not the telecoms regulator, Comreg. And it's not the Irish Press Council or Press Ombudsman. Unlike broadcasting or print, there is no official policing for fairness, accuracy or balance. Invariably, it comes back to the companies themselves. This week, Adrian is joined by Damien Mulley, founder of Mulley Communications, to look under the hood of how targeting works on social media during an election campaign. Mulley talks about an experiment he ran where he was able to target a handful of influential TDs and their political advisers for a couple of euro using Facebook's ad system. And the two discuss the darker side of the political system and what it can throw up by way of trying to skew political debate online. Techniques have moved beyond the creation of outright false headlines claiming that a particular candidate has been endorsed by the Pope. Modern methods can be subtle and sophisticated, playing off algorithms. This includes getting dozens, or hundreds, of people to swarm online, all leaving comments under a news article or candidate post. Or to search repeatedly for a candidate's name in an attempt to skew the search engine's algorithm.

The newly discovered Salvator by Leonardo, the world's most costly picture, is one of his most notable creations, in which he used his 'science of art' to transform a stock subject into a profound expression of the ineffability of the divine. We will look at the remarkable story of its discovery, its conservation and scientific examination, the research into how it works as an image and its provenance. We will also look at the scandalous events of its ownership and how it came to be where it is now.A lecture by Martin Kemp, University of Oxford 1 May 2019The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/leonardo-salvator-mundiGresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597.

I absolutely love mint tin games, and Mint Tin Mini Skulduggery by subQuark fits this bill perfectly, as it comes in a properly small, rectangular mint tin, rather than the larger format that many other mint tin games come in. That means it fits perfectly into your coat pocket, so you can have it with you at all time. After all, you never know when the opportunity arises to play a game when you're out and about.Read the full article here: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2019/03/09/mint-tin-mini-skulduggery/

Time spent defending your existing position could usually be better spent creating something awesome.

Campaigns are rolling out last-minute negative mailers and candidates themselves are trolling each other on Facebook. I'll take a look at two such instances of skulduggery in San Leandro and Fremont. The legendary Craig Williams has another proposed bill for Assemblymember Rob Bonta to follow up his "body cams for clergy" proposal, and 17th Congressional District candidate Ron Cohen joins the conversation. Starting Saturday, Nov. 3 through Election Day on Nov. 6, look for the Steve Tavares Is Angry Special Daily Election Edition, a 10-minute look at the final days of long, grueling campaign.

I've got things to bitch about so I thought I'd have a podcast. Since Jilly has opinions (about everything) she's joining me to talk about the reader culture in fandom and the shady shit that manifests in it. http://keiramarcos.com/chat-room/
