It's a state news heavy week with an impeachment trial in London, retirements in Somerset and Lebanon, and yet another candidate in the 6th District. Also, the NFL is back and KPW returns to our gambling roots with picks from Tres and Jared.
New industries, like artificial intelligence and nuclear energy, and how Eastern Kentucky can get involved were big topics at this year's SOAR Summit, a state lawmaker, who's served more than 20 years in Frankfort, announces his current term will be his last, and a prominent city mayor says he's not seeking re-election.
In this engaging conversation, the members of Somerset Thrower discuss their latest record, the evolution of their sound, and the dynamics within the band. They reflect on their past experiences, the Long Island music scene, and the influences that have shaped their music. The discussion also touches on the creative process behind their new album and the challenges faced during its production and release. They share insights into their upcoming shows, experiences at music festivals, and their favorite tracks from their latest album, emphasizing the importance of sequencing and the creative process behind their work.Intro Music Courtesy of Overthinker: https://open.spotify.com/artist/5iQ2tyRloyNp6Yjd5sv73CPower chords and crashing boards. Mikey, Tom, and Justin talk music, hockey, and anything else that gets in their way. Tom and Mikey are lifelong friends that grew up on Long Island during the glory days of alternative music where our local bands were As Tall As Lions, Brand New, Taking Back Sunday, Bayside, The Sleeping, Envy on the Coast, you get the point. We spent many nights together at The Downtown, catching any pop-punk, indie, hardcore, or emo band that came through. This was not a phase, Mom! Fast forward 20 years and we are still just as passionate about the scene as we were during our girl jeans and youth XL band tees days. Tom and Mikey are diehard New York Islanders fans, but Justin (Bolts fan) likes to remind us that we are #notanislespodcast. As we got older we realized we can like more than one thing and running beside our love for music has always been our love for hockey. We have realized we are not alone in this thinking, actually there are many of us that love these two things! This podcast explores just how connected they are!NEW EPISODE EVERY TUESDAY!

GOVERNMENT CUTS RESTORATION RED TAPEFollowing a long campaign from the Historic and Classic Vehicles Alliance and other similar associations, the Government has simplified the red tape around modifying and restoring vehicles. Notifications can be sent to DVLA for ‘significant structural modifications' and the vehicle can retain the original license plate number and Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This is a big step forward. Click this Hagerty article link here to find out more.

Notes: In July 2024, shortly before he died of cancer, I paid a last visit to the Somerset home of my wonderful friend Alexander Waugh. Alexander was one of the kindest, most generous, most talented and intellectually curious friends it has ever been my privilege to know. His rich and varied career included stints as a musician, concert promoter, author, keeper of the Waugh (Evelyn was his grandfather) family archives and researcher into the Shakespearean authorship question. (He thought it was Edward de Vere, Earl of Oxford). Though he was in some discomfort, he died a happy man, lovingly cared for at home by his devoted wife Eliza. I haven't listened to these recordings we made since. They've been sitting on my iPhone and the only reason I didn't release them earlier was inertia. They also feature our friend Bob Moran. We talk about God, music, death, everything. ↓ ↓ ↓ The official website of James Delingpole: https://jamesdelingpole.co.uk

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on 'The Daily Radio Bible' for a daily 20-minute spiritual journey. Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the August 14th, 2025 episode of the Daily Radio Bible. Join your host, Hunter, as he guides us through day 227 of our journey in Scripture. Today's readings take us from the prophetic words of Jeremiah—speaking into exile, hope, and the deep struggles of the human heart—to the exuberant praise in Psalm 96, and finally into the tender, powerful moments Jesus shares with His disciples in John 16. Hunter invites us to imagine what it would be like to spend a whole day with Jesus—free from judgment, fear, and condemnation, and filled instead with peace and God's loving presence. As we listen, we're reminded that Christ's presence and the Spirit are available to us today, wherever we are, inviting us into a life marked by deep joy and abiding faith. Stay with us for Scripture, reflection, and prayer to help you ground your day in God's word and love. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Imagine a day with Jesus—just beginning your day with him, having coffee, driving to work, simply sharing your routines and moments with him. As you spend this day with Jesus, you soon realize it is a day like no other. It's a day without judgment, a day without fear, a day without condemnation—a day lived in God's life-giving presence, where you are truly free. How could anything be better than that? That's exactly what the disciples experienced: days and years walking with Jesus, learning from him, being next to him, their eyes opened to who God is and what he is truly like—self-giving, radically forgiving, and co-suffering in his love for all, even for enemies. For these disciples, there didn't seem a greater reality than simply being by his side. But in John 16, Jesus tells them something almost unimaginable. He says it's better for them—better for us—that he should go. Why? Because as he departs, he promises to send the Advocate, the Spirit of God, who will dwell not just with a few, but in all who receive him. This Advocate, the Holy Spirit, reveals to the world the true character and glory of God. He brings God's abiding presence into every believer's life, awakening us to a deeper reality: Christ, not just among us, but within us—wherever we are, whatever our circumstance. The presence of Christ in us is God's best gift, given freely today to all his children. No matter if you're in Cincinnati, Somerset, Perth, or São Paulo, the Spirit of Christ is with you, awakening your heart to the presence and peace of God. Through him, you can live this day—every day—without condemnation, without fear, enjoying the peace and abundant joy that Jesus gives. God's best is yours, right now. That's the prayer I have for my own soul: to live and walk in that presence, in that peace and freedom. It's the prayer I hold for my family—my wife, my daughters, my son. And it's the prayer I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord of life, you have awakened me again to the gift of this day. You go before me, walk beside me and dwell within me. Let me walk slowly in your presence. May I resist the hurried spirit of this world and instead breathe deep of your peace. Open my eyes to beauty, my ears to your voice, and my heart to the quiet work of grace. Help me not to strive, but to abide, not to achieve, but to receive. Today. Let my words carry your kindness. My actions reflect your mercy. My thoughts be anchored in your truth that I am yours and you are with me. Amen. And now, as our Lord has taught us, we are bold to pray. Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever and ever. Amen. OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.

And so we begin the tale of London in the Wars of the Roses, setting the scene, and dropping us straight into the city- as the Duke of York and the Duke of Somerset's five year rivalry moves towards its bloody end on the streets of St. Albans, in London, the city was to see young Mercers attacking the homes of Italians, the Grocers company politically shift dramatically when one side is winning, to quickly following the other side, before just as quickly having to reverse course… and as disparate factions begin to come together due to circumstances in the rest of the country, a savage political protest takes place on Fleet Street… let the games begin!
In July 2024, shortly before he died of cancer, I paid a last visit to the Somerset home of my wonderful friend Alexander Waugh. Alexander was one of the kindest, most generous, most talented and intellectually curious friends it has ever been my privilege to know. His rich and varied career included stints as a musician, concert promoter, author, keeper of the Waugh (Evelyn was his grandfather) family archives and researcher into the Shakespearean authorship question. (He thought it was Edward de Vere, Earl of Oxford). Though he was in some discomfort, he died a happy man, lovingly cared for at home by his devoted wife Eliza. I haven't listened to these recordings we made since. They've been sitting on my iPhone and the only reason I didn't release them earlier was inertia. They also feature our friend Bob Moran. We talk about God, music, death, everything.

It's August intermission time! This year we've decided to bring together recordings from various locations in a specific geographic area and share them as a very long non-stop episode. This is our first ever "Lento Long" and is a sumptuous 3 hours. Listen and let the places work their magic on you. Depending on your own personal sensitivities to human made sound, it may be sleep safe. Children can be heard throwing rocks into the sea at the beginning, and at just over an hour a microlight gradually drones over the beach. For us this creates a wonderful sense of beach-time, where nothing in the world feels urgent anymore, but not everyone may respond in the same way so we haven't officially labelled this Lento Long as *sleep safe*. Here's a guide to what you'll hear. - The first hour is from the edge of the rocky beach at Lilstock in West Somerset, your back lent against a comfortable tree as the waves wash left to right with the longshore drift. - At one hour this blends into the rarified ambience of Kilve beach at low tide, a soundscape carried into awareness with the gradual progression of a little microlight that slowly drones over high above. - At one hour thirty, day becomes night. A weatherfront is passing over a remote cottage half way up West Quantoxhead. Fresh currents of Somerset air press freely through a bank of trees behind the cottage, setting their leaves and branches swaying, and hushing in richly undulating white noise. - At just after two hours thirty, you invisibly reappear, sitting beside a secluded stream farther up the hill. You're listening to the pristine sound of water flowing off the top of West Quantoxhead, with the gentle company of two resting sheep nearby. The episodes we blended together to make this Lento Long are 244, 254, 248, 255 and 249, where you can read in detail about each location. They were all recorded in late October 2024. We'll release another Lento Long next week and resume the weekly service from the start of September. Thanks to everyone for listening.

Send us a textThis week's expert is Tim Jobson, Medical Director of Predictive Health Intelligence, a UK-based consultancy. Tim joins Louise Campbell and Roger Green to share an update on PHI's Somerset UK project and other activities. The Somerset pilot was designed to help the NHS identify untreated patients at high risk for liver disease and bring them to the office for screening. Tim describes hepatoSIGHT, a tool that "allows clinicians to get their hands on the data and to find patients both for treatment and for clinical trials." He describes it as standard in Somerset, UK, now, and proceeds to share new data about the patient experience. This is a unique program in that providers reach out to tell individual patients they should visit the physician based on information found in their medical records. Interestingly, patient response is overwhelmingly positive. Louise shares data indicating that 94% of individuals located by the NHS in this manner visited their GPs. Six in ten respondents rated their satisfaction with the process, giving it a mean of 4.8 on a 5-point scale. Tim also shared some preliminary modeling suggesting that sustained use of hepatoSIGHT could increase clinical trial participation as much as 50-fold if trial sites had the capacity to take all these patients. Based on the results of the pilot, hepatoSIGHT is now standard throughout the Somerset region and is being evaluated for broader use. Tim and Louise both point out that this represents a major advance in the applied use of preventive hepatology. In all, this is a warming, affirming look at whether and how patients know they benefit from what we ask them to do and share.
Classroom Coverup: Lap-Sitting Horror Unleashed - NJ Teacher's Chilling Shuffle Revealed! Brace for a nightmare in New Jersey's classrooms that will have you questioning every teacher hiring decision! We uncover the case of Jason Fennes, a former elementary school teacher from Bloomfield accused in 2010 at Montville Township Public Schools of inappropriate touching and lap-sitting with young girls aged 6-8, behaviors that made them feel uncomfortable and violated during story time or class activities. Multiple female students reported him touching their buttocks, thighs, and private areas under the guise of "helping," hugging them tightly, and isolating them in the classroom, with at least four families raising alarms to administrators. The district placed him on leave and investigated, but the probe concluded without substantiating criminal abuse, citing a lack of "corroborating evidence" beyond the children's statements—a common hurdle in child abuse cases where physical proof is rare. Instead of reporting the suspicions to the Division of Child Protection and Permanency (DCPP) or local police as mandated by New Jersey law for reasonable cause, the district opted for a confidential settlement in June 2010. Fennes resigned under an agreement that severely limited what Montville could disclose to future employers—only basic employment details like dates and title, with no mention of the allegations or investigation. This "hush contract" included a neutral reference letter, effectively erasing the red flags and allowing him to seek new positions without hindrance. Such deals are a hallmark of "passing the trash," designed to avoid defamation lawsuits or negative publicity, often negotiated with input from teachers' unions like the New Jersey Education Association to protect members' careers. This decision wasn't unique; a 2017 NJ.com investigation revealed dozens of similar cases across New Jersey, where districts chose quiet exits over transparency, influenced by fears of costly litigation and reputational harm in suburban communities like Montville, known for strong family ties and high property values tied to school quality. Fennes walked away with his teaching certificate intact, free to apply elsewhere. Just two months later, in August 2010, he was hired at Cedar Hill Prep School, a private K-8 academy in Somerset with about 200 students, known for its small classes and nurturing environment. The school's founder conducted what they called a thorough vetting, but the background check came up spotless—Montville's silence ensured no warnings surfaced. At Cedar Hill, the abuse not only continued but escalated in severity and scope. Over the next three years, he molested at least four young girls in his classroom, repeating and intensifying the patterns from Montville: Lap-sitting during reading sessions, inappropriate touching under desks or during "help" with art projects, and isolating victims by keeping them after class. Court records from his pleas detailed graphic incidents—one victim, a 7-year-old referred to as Child M in legal filings, alleged Fennes sexually assaulted her in February 2011 by touching her genitals under her clothing while she sat on his lap, pretending to read a book. Another girl reported him rubbing her thighs and whispering "you're special," creating a sense of secrecy. But Fennes' crimes extended beyond the classroom; as a basketball coach, he groomed a 15-year-old player with extra practice sessions, flirty messages, and emotional manipulation, building what she later described as a "relationship" that felt coercive. Between 2011 and 2013, he had sex with her multiple times, often in his car or secluded spots. The crimes came to light in 2013 when one Montville victim disclosed to a therapist, triggering investigations leading to his 2016 guilty pleas and 14-year sentence. Victims' stories reveal profound trauma—PTSD, anxiety from "weird touches." Suits like Child M v. Fennes led to Zurich denials, Supreme Court decline in 2020. Inspired 2018 S-414 banning "trash passing." Stats: NJ had 187 educator cases 2010-2017. Ties: Like Ostovich's shuffle (Episode 8). Fallout: Settlements undisclosed, protests.

Send us a text00:00 - Surf's Up 6.10.1This conversation covers three topics. Jörn Schattenberg discusses two papers that suggest an exciting role NITs might play in future prescribing decisions, two executives from LiverRight describe the U.S.'s first virtual liver clinic, and Tom Jobson of Predictive Health Intelligence updates us on how simple analyses of large data bases can identify and motivate high-risk liver patients to visit their doctors. 00:17:30 - Roundtable: NITs might help physicians determine the value of metabolic vs. specific anti-fibrotic effects for individual patientsThe overall theme of this roundtable is "Major Stories and Events of the First Half, 2025." Jörn's contribution is to discuss two papers that use proteomic analyses to determine the degree to which a patient's MASH is driven by metabolic issues as compared to direct fibrotic challenges. Today, when we have only a few drugs, limited NITs and no proteomic tests available for use in practice, these findings point to directions for future research and test development. Over time, providers may be able to prescribe based on the knowledge of h0w much benefit metabolic agents might provide as compared to anti-fibrotics. This may point to step therapy or multi-agent first line therapy, but it is an exciting idea.00:29:50 - Newsmakers: LiverRight opens America's first virtual liver clinic LIverRIght CEO Brandon Tudor and Chief Medical Officer Alexander Lalos join Roger Green to discuss the launch of America's first virtual hepatology clinic. Brandon shares his personal history to explain why providing fast access is so important to him. Alex describes his original motivation to go into Transplant Hepatology and how, over time, his focus has shifted from healing the sick to preventing disease in the first place. They describe how LiverRight works and their successes to date in reducing patients' time from first contact to visit, often from months to days. NOTE: Roger Green is a paid advisor to LiverRight.00:56:44 - Expert: Tim Jobson describes how Hepatoscope is helping the NHS identify untreated high-risk liver patients and bring them to the office for screening. Tim describes hepatoSIGHT, a tool that "allows clinicians to get their hands on the data and to find patients both for treatment and for clinical trials." He describes it as standard in Somerset, UK, now, and proceeds to share new data about the patient experience. This is a unique program in that providers reach out to tell individual patients they should visit the physician based on information found in their medical records.

In all, this is a warming, affirming look at whether and how patients know they benefit from what we ask them to do and share. 01:29:58 - ConclusionThe business report discusses the next few episodes and asks who would like to meet Roger at Paris MASH.
Not long after 9 PM on that Sunday night, in the sleepy new-build development of Dragon Rise, the back door security light of Jennifer and Stephen Chapple's home flicked on. Their two boys aged 5 and 6 years old had been put to bed hours before and were sleeping soundly upstairs.36-year-old Stephen was a well-loved IT teacher at West Somerset College. It was a secondary school in Minehead in Somerset, 23 miles away from his home in Dragon Rise. His wife 33-year-old Jennifer worked as a Customer Service Advisor at the coffee shop of the popular Otter Garden Centre in Norton Fitzwarren. At that time on a Sunday night, they were probably thinking about preparing for bed themselves. They had no idea what was about to explode into their home.Join our Black Label at https://www.patreon.com/obscuracrimepodcast to unlock the full ad-free catalog of Obscura Episodes AND Black Label premium episodes.Our Sponsors:* Check out Chime: https://chime.com/OBSCURA* Check out Mood and use my code OBSCURA for a great deal: https://mood.com* Check out Progressive: https://www.progressive.com* Check out TruDiagnostic and use my code OBSCURA for a great deal: https://www.trudiagnostic.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/obscura-a-true-crime-podcast/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Bienvenue dans les Fabuleux Destin, le podcast pour découvrir des histoires vraies et étonnantes, racontées par Andréa Brusque. Cette semaine, plongez dans l'incroyable épopée de Narcisse Pelletier. Né au milieu du 19e siècle, ce jeune mousse engagé sur plusieurs navires marchands, se retrouve naufragé à l'autre bout de chez lui alors qu'il est âgé de seulement 14 ans. Seul sur une terre qu'il ne connaît pas, il va être recueilli et adopté par ceux que l'on surnomme alors à l'époque “des sauvages”. De son naufrage en Australie, où il sera abandonné et livré à lui-même à son retour en France, découvrez son fabuleux destin. Le retour du “sauvage blanc” Narcisse est désormais à bord du John Bell, un navire anglais qui navigue vers la colonie britannique la plus proche, Somerset. À bord, les marins s'empressent de donner à Narcisse des vêtements, qu'il n'avait plus porté pendant 17 ans. Ils sont profondément choqués de voir ce jeune homme blanc nu, portant un coquillage dans la cloison du nez et des cicatrices profondes sur le corps. Il est très anxieux sur le bateau et ne comprend pas un traître mot de ce qu'on lui dit. Les marins ont peur qu'il ne s'attaque à eux, mais veulent à tout prix le ramener à la civilisation. Le capitaine lui explique qu'ils ne sont pas venus pour lui faire du mal, mais au contraire pour lui sauver la vie.

The highly popular documentary filmmaker, Rick Sebak, is a native Pittsburgher, who's worked at Pittsburgh's PBS station WQED since 1987.Rick's created dozens of local TV documentaries known collectively as The Pittsburgh History Series, including: “Kennywood Memories,” “What Makes Pittsburgh Pittsburgh?” and “Right Beside The River” as well as many more. He's also produced 15 national programs for PBS including “A Hot Dog Program,” “A Flea Market Documentary” and “A Few Good Pie Places.”I've seen a number of Rick's documentaries and have always been delighted by the way they're put together and especially by the uplifting, wonderfully human stories Rick's work delivers each and every time.Rick has been honored with several regional Emmy Awards and two national Emmy nominations. One Pittsburgh bar even named a drink after him. In 2018, Pittsburgh Magazine named Rick one of the 50 Greatest Pittsburghers Of All Time.

We meet painter Charlotte Keates within her new installation ‘Inner Landscapes'. We discover the inspiration behind her epic new commission and explore her lifelong passion for drawing and painting.Keates' work is inspired by interiors, travels, and architectural composition, in seamless communion with elements from the natural world. Trees push through flat concrete, while perspectives unfold in sheets of glass. These images of modernist leisure leave one with the feeling of having entered a space only recently vacated, dramatizing stillness without surrendering movement. These are environments that suggest, technically as well as artistically, indistinct human activity and motion.Her paintings gently weave together impressions of space and structure with subtle narratives, often emerging through the interplay of distinctive colours and carefully placed objects. These scenes do not depict real places but rather reflect traces of memory and quiet moments of perception. The spaces she constructs are imagined, yet the emotions they carry feel genuine and immediate. Without relying on overt storytelling, her works convey a calm presence and a quiet tension. As art historian Marco Livingstone observed, “the highlighted area acquires a hypnotic presence, as if spotlit into existence from within an atmosphere of ambiguous limitless space.”Keates was born in 1990 in Somerset, United Kingdom, and currently lives and works in Guernsey and London. She received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Falmouth University. She will show new work in a forthcoming group exhibition at the Ju Ming Museum in October 2025, Taipei, Taiwan.Follow @CharlotteKeates on Instagram.
What if the American Revolution wasn't a noble birth of liberty, but a costly wrong turn? Before muskets were raised at Lexington and Concord, the British Empire was already inching toward something remarkable: the abolition of slavery. In 1772, just three years before the war began, the landmark Somerset decision in England ruled that slavery had no basis in common law. While it didn't outlaw slavery across the empire, it signaled growing discomfort with the institution. British abolitionists like Granville Sharp and Thomas Clarkson were building momentum. By 1807, Britain banned the slave trade; by 1833, it abolished slavery entirely. Meanwhile, across the Atlantic, the American colonies, especially in the South, were deeply entrenched in slavery. Many of the Revolution's leading voices were enslavers who feared that continued British rule might imperil their human property. In fact, during the war, the British offered freedom to enslaved people who escaped and joined their forces. The Americans, despite their soaring rhetoric about liberty, were far more reluctant to do the same. In this light, the Revolution was not just a fight for freedom: it was also, for some, a fight to preserve slavery. Had the colonies remained within the empire, they likely would have been pulled along Britain's abolitionist trajectory. Slavery might have ended decades earlier, without the catastrophic toll of a Civil War. Instead, the United States forged its identity through violent rupture, glorifying revolution and enshrining ideals it could not yet fulfill. America's foundational rebellion may have delayed justice rather than advanced it. Peace, reform, and patient negotiation–Canada's path–might have built a fairer, stabler society. Liberty, contrary to our cherished American myths, isn't always won on the battlefield. Sometimes, it's secured by fighting for reform and changing from within. EVENTS AT GASLIT NATION: NEW DATE!

Juliana Horatia Ewing (August 3, 1841 – May 13, 1885) was an English writer of children's stories. Her writings display a sympathetic insight into children's lives, an admiration for things military, and a strong religious faith.Known as Julie, she was the second of ten children of the Rev. Alfred Gatty, Vicar of Ecclesfield in Yorkshire, and Margaret Gatty, who was herself a children's author. Their children were educated mainly by their mother, but Julie was often the driving force behind their various activities: drama, botany and so on. Later she was responsible for setting up a village library in Ecclesfield, and helped out in the parish with her three sisters. Early stories of hers appeared in Charlotte Mary Yonge's magazine The Monthly Packet.On 1 June 1867, Julie married Major Alexander Ewing(1830–1895) of the Army Pay Corps. A musician, composer and translator, he was also a keen churchgoer and shared his wife's interest in literature. Within a week of their marriage, the Ewings left England for Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada, where he had received a new posting. They remained there for two years, before returning to England in 1869 and spending eight years in the army town of Aldershot. Although her husband was sent overseas again, to Malta in 1879 and Sri Lanka in 1881, Ewing's poor health precluded her from accompanying him.On her husband's return in 1883, the Ewings moved to Trull, Somerset, and then in 1885 to Bath, in the hopes that the change of air would do her good. However, her health continued to decline. After two operations, she died in Bath on 13 May 1885. She was given a military funeral at Trull three days later.Julie's sister Horatia Katharine Frances Gatty (1846–1945) published a memorial of her life and works, which includes a publication history of her stories. A later selection includes some of Julie's letters and drawings about Canada. A biography of her by Gillian Avery appeared in 1961.-bio via Wikipedia This is a public episode.
