You might not think about love, sex, and gender when you think about the Middle Ages, but you might be surprised! We are joined by the co-curators of the Spectrum of Desire exhibition at The Met Cloisters to talk about topics like queering the past, gender identity, and what art can tell us about those things during the Medieval period. Content Warning: This episode contains conversations about or mentions of sex, misogyny, genitalia, adultery, transphobia, and sexual assault. GuestsMelanie Holcomb and Nancy Thebaut are the co-curators of the Spectrum of Desire: Love, Sex, and Gender in the Middle Ages exhibition at The Met Cloisters. Nancy Thebaut is Associate Professor of Art History at the University of Oxford & tutorial fellow at St Catherine's College.

Melanie's projects have been fueled by a career-long fascination with how art works—the functions it serves and methods it uses to communicate.Housekeeping- Books: Check out our previous book recommendations, guests' books, and more at spiritspodcast.com/books- Call to Action: Send in those urban legend emails!- Submit Your Urban Legends Audio: Call us! 617-420-2344Minneapolis Spotlight- Comma, a bookshop is an independent bookstore in Minneapolis that sells books and helps to build community, with a focus on deepening connection with their community and drawing connections between ideas.Find Us Online- Website & Transcripts: spiritspodcast.com- Patreon: patreon.com/spiritspodcast- Merch: spiritspodcast.com/merch- Instagram: instagram.com/spiritspodcast- Bluesky: bsky.app/profile/spiritspodcast.com- Twitter: twitter.com/spiritspodcast- Tumblr: spiritspodcast.tumblr.comCast & Crew- Co-Hosts: Julia Schifini and Amanda McLoughlin- Editor: Bren Frederick- Music: Brandon Grugle, based on "Danger Storm" by Kevin MacLeod- Artwork: Allyson Wakeman- Multitude: multitude.productionsAbout UsSpirits is a boozy podcast about mythology, legends, and folklore.

Fresh from their rather somber state-of-the-industry presentation, SipSource analysts Danny Brager and Dale Stratton help identify whether there are any areas of growth and promise in the wine and spirits business. Topics include:  The performance of wine and spirits depletions in 2025 and the outlook for 2026. The surprising resilience of RTD growth rates. Prosecco's continuing strong performance. The wine industry trying more innovative marketing strategies. The importance of finding the right packaging formats. If consumers actually want low-alcohol products or if they want low-calorie and low-sugar products.    Have a question, qualm, or story to tell?

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! PART TWOIt was once the pinnacle of wealth, influence, and success. Today, it's one of the most notoriously haunted homes in America. This is the chilling, true story of the Lemp Mansion.Located in St. Louis, Missouri, the Lemp Mansion was originally built as a symbol of triumph—a lavish estate owned by the Lemp family, titans of the American brewing industry in the 19th century. But behind the success was something darker. Suicide. Scandal. Grief. Madness. And death. Lots of it.One by one, members of the Lemp family fell to mysterious fates, many dying by their own hand within the walls of their grand home. Over time, the mansion shifted from affluence to decay—eventually turning into a boarding house for the broken, desperate, and forgotten. And through it all, the energy never left.Today, visitors and paranormal investigators report phantom footsteps, disembodied voices, unseen presences, and a heavy sadness that permeates every floor. Some say the Lemps never truly left. Others believe something even darker was born in that house through generations of trauma.In this powerful episode of The Grave Talks, medium and investigator Betsy Belanger shares her firsthand experiences with the spirits of the Lemp Mansion. From unexplained activity to emotional impressions that linger long after you leave, Betsy reveals why this location continues to captivate ghost hunters and historians alike.If you've ever wondered why some homes won't let go of the past—why some spirits seem tied to the tragedies that took place in life—this story will haunt you.This isn't just another haunted house tale. It's a story of a family empire built on beer, broken by misfortune, and remembered by ghosts.#LempMansion #HauntedHouse #RealGhostStories #ParanormalPodcast #StLouisHauntings #HauntedMansion #Paranormal #Hauntings #TheGraveTalks #Ghosts #TrueHaunting #LempFamilyCurseLove real ghost stories?

Tao Zrafi claims he “broke cocktail menus forever” with his small bar in Illinois that boasts a menu of over 2,500 drinks. And yet it's far from the wildest idea the Drink Masters star has ever produced. He sits down with Greg and Sother to discuss building replicable formulas that can produce literally thousands of drinks, his venture into entrepreneurship by creating acid powders that can replace citrus juice, are shelf stable, and can be shipped anywhere in the world, and how growing up in Tunisia and cutting his teeth behind the bars of Montreal shaped a truly unique view on the world of cocktails.PLUS, BrewDog is for sale!

In this segment of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards welcomes Mississippi State Rep. Fred Shanks for a no-holds-barred discussion on pressing state issues. They tackle the ongoing liquor distribution crisis, including warehouse backlogs, delivery delays, and calls from local stores like Spillway Wine and Spirits for a state of emergency to resolve it—potentially deploying creative solutions like extra manpower to clear orders and stem massive tax revenue losses. Fred updates on legislative wins, including funding for school resource officers, the Children's Promise Act for tax credits, mobile sports betting to boost PERS and generate over $100 million annually, and appropriations for Jackson's sewer system while killing harmful bills. They celebrate a major victory on the Pearl River widening project led by Pearl Mayor Jake Windham, promising flood protection and transformative development for Rankin County and Jackson. The conversation shifts to Jackson's controversial police chief hire, emphasizing the need for boots-on-the-ground enforcement over studies. Fred shares insights on Trump's pardon czar, Mississippi native Alice Johnson, her redemption story from life in prison to White House role, and efforts to restore voting rights for nonviolent felons. They dive into national politics, debating Stephen A. Smith's potential 2028 presidential run as a common-sense Democrat shaking up a weak bench against figures like AOC and Gavin Newsom. Plus, quick hits on I-20 repaving and casino revenue for education. Raw, insightful talk on Mississippi's challenges and wins!

What does “smart money” actually mean in beverage — especially in one of the most capital-intensive categories in CPG?In this sponsored episode, we sit down with Karen Xiang, Investment Lead at Btomorrow Ventures, the corporate venture arm backed by British American Tobacco. And we go deep into how corporate venture capital is evolving — and what it really means for founders building functional and full-size beverage brands today.Btomorrow Ventures (BTV) is not a traditional VC fund. With a £150M first fund and a newly launched £200M second fund, BTV is investing across “better brands” and “better habits” — with a particular focus in the U.S. on full-size functional beverages and functional snacks. But capital is only part of the story.Karen explains how BTV's new in-house growth platform is designed to unlock operating leverage — connecting portfolio brands to distribution pilots, commercialization support, data analytics, and internal expertise inside a global FMCG infrastructure.For founders, this episode is an insightful discussion about:•  What corporate venture capital (CVC) actually is — and how it differs from traditional VC•  What to ask before taking strategic capital•  Why beverage remains a difficult category for many VCs — and what that means for your cap table•  How to think about partnering with strategics without becoming “the last fry on the truck”Karen also offers a thoughtful framework for avoiding trend-chasing in drinks. In a world of protein pivots and format fads, she argues that fundamentals — consumer clarity, occasion ownership, distribution sequencing — still win over time.For investors, we explore how BTV thinks about co-investing rather than competing — and why having a strategic partner on the cap table can accelerate growth across the entire syndicate.If you're a founder navigating functional beverage, a co-investor evaluating corporate capital, or an operator thinking about long-term category shifts, this episode offers a rare inside look at how one of the industry's more nuanced CVC models is building in the U.S.As always, we focus on the mechanics of growth — not just the headline numbers, but how brands actually scale.Listen in for a grounded, strategic conversation about capital, distribution, and the future of value-add investing in drinks.For the latest updates, follow us:Business of Drinks:Business of Drinks website (sign up for our newsletter!)Business of Drinks YouTubeBusiness of Drinks LinkedInInstagram @bizofdrinksErica Duecy, co-host: Erica Duecy is founder and co-host of Business of Drinks and one of the drinks industry's most accomplished digital and content strategists.

This week on Sinica, I speak with Yi-Ling Liu, journalist, former China editor at Rest of World, and author of the new book The Wall Dancers: Searching for Freedom and Connection on the Chinese Internet. Yi-Ling's book traces the arc of Chinese online life through five protagonists — a rapper, a gay rights entrepreneur, a feminist activist, a science fiction writer, and an internet censor — each navigating the creative and constrictive forces of the Chinese internet in their own way. The result is a deeply reported, novelistic account of what it felt like to live, create, and push back in one of the most surveilled and dynamic digital environments on earth. We discuss the book's central metaphor of "dancing in shackles," the early utopian glow of Chinese netizen culture, the parallel fates of hip hop and science fiction under the state's alternating embrace and constraint, and the eerie convergence between the Chinese internet and our own.0:06 — "Wall dancers" as a metaphor: what it captures that "dissident" or "netizen" doesn't0:09 — Why 网民 (wǎngmín) took root in China as a concept of digital citizenship0:13 — The early Chinese internet: more open than we remember, but not as free as the myth suggests0:15 — Ma Baoli: closeted cop to CEO of China's largest gay dating app, and the Gay Talese reporting strategy0:20 — Lan Yu, Beijing Story, and the film that became a coming-out moment for a generation of queer men0:22 — Pragmatism at the heart of the dance: how individuals and the state negotiated the internet together0:28 — Lu Pin and Feminist Voices: from "playing boundary ball" to sudden exile0:35 — Stanley Chen Qiufan and the state's attempt to co-opt science fiction for nationalist ends0:43 — The generational split in Chinese sci-fi: Liu Cixin's cosmic scale vs. the near-future unease of Chen Qiufan and Hao Jingfang0:46 — Hip hop's arc: from underground scenes in Chengdu and Beijing to The Rap of China and sudden constraint0:51 — Eric Liu, the Weibo censor: humanizing the firewall from the inside0:55 — Common prosperity, Wang Huning, and the moral panic behind the crackdown on "effeminate" culture0:59 — Techno-utopianism in retrospect: was the emancipatory internet always a fantasy?1:03 — The convergence of the Chinese and American internets: Weibo and Twitter, TikTok and Oracle1:07 — What it means to be free: how the book expanded Yi-Ling's sense of what freedoms people actually wantPaying it forward: Zeyi Yang, technology reporter at WIRED, and co-author (with Louise Matsakis) of the excellent tech x China newsletter Made in ChinaRecommendations:Yi-Ling: The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny by Kiran Desai; Machine Decision is Not Final, an anthology of essays on Chinese AI compiled by scholars affiliated with NYU Shanghai.Kaiser: The Coming Storm: Power, Conflict and Warnings from History by Odd Arne Westad (forthcoming); Essays from Pallavi Aiyar's Substack The Global Jigsaw, particularly "How Has China Succeeded in Making People Mind their Manners" and "Why I Would Rather Be Born Chinese than Indian Today."See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Send a textIn this episode, host Andrea Atherton welcomes Shaman Abhay Oyun, a revered elder of an ancient Siberian shamanic lineage, for a conversation that bridges ancestral wisdom with modern relationships. Together, they explore how love, dating, and partnership are not merely psychological experiences, but energetic and spiritual journeys shaped by unseen forces, ancestral patterns, and higher guidance. As humanity moves through a time of profound change, this dialogue invites listeners to consider how ancient teachings can illuminate the deeper layers of intimacy, attachment, and soul connection.With more than 35 years of guiding individuals through sacred rituals, energy work, and ceremonial healing, Abhay shares powerful and moving stories from his life's work. He speaks of real encounters with spirits and ancestors, transformative healing experiences, and moments when individuals found clarity in love and direction in life through shamanic practice. Rather than offering abstract philosophy, he brings grounded, lived experience, demonstrating how spiritual encounters can dissolve emotional wounds, restore balance, and awaken a greater sense of purpose.Throughout the episode, Andrea holds space for a rich and heartfelt conversation about what it means to love in alignment with both spirit and humanity. Listeners will walk away reflecting on their own energetic patterns in relationships, the influence of ancestral history on romantic connection, and the possibility that love itself is part of a much larger evolutionary path. This is an invitation to expand your understanding of healing, to soften into mystery, and to open to a deeper, more conscious experience of connection.30-minute Consultation with Andrea https://www.andreaatherton.com/booking-calendarAndrea Atherton Websitehttps://www.andreaatherton.com/Love Anarchy Websitehttps://www.andreaatherton.com/podcasthttps://loveanarchypodcast.buzzsprout.comLove Anarchy Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/loveanarchypodcast/Andrea Atherton Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/andreaatherton-17/

What does it take to turn a 1,500-acre family orchard into the second-largest cider company in the U.S.?In this episode of Business of Drinks, Caroline sits down with Andrew Blake, Founder and CEO of Blake's Beverage Company, to unpack how a seasonal agricultural business evolved into a national beverage platform selling just over 2 million cases annually across 44 states.Blake's began with a barn renovation and a tasting room designed to smooth out harvest-driven revenue. Six months later, a distributor knocked — and Andrew had to learn distribution on the fly. The move changed the trajectory of the company, but not without cost.For founders, this is a grounded look at what scaling through the three-tier system actually requires. Andrew shares how the business was profitable in direct-to-consumer agritainment — then lost money entering distribution. The takeaway: Distribution is a long game, with upfront margin compression, trade spend, and capital intensity that many underestimate.We also dig into the mechanics of growth. Blake's expanded from a 5,000-square foot facility to a multi-plant footprint in Michigan, New York, Texas, and Oregon to de-risk apple supply and mitigate crop volatility. Today, the company manages roughly 200 distributors and nearly 200 beverage-focused employees within a broader 1,100-person enterprise.Two hero SKUs anchor the portfolio: Triple Jam (~350,000 cases projected this year) and American Apple (~300,000 cases and accelerating). Andrew's view aligns with broader data: Younger consumers are drinking less volume but seeking more flavor and impact — and cider's flavor-forward profile is resonating.Category-wise, cider still accounts for under 3% of beer share in the U.S., compared to 7–8% in more mature markets. Andrew believes there's room to expand — through premiumization on one end and new value plays, including a more aggressive push into convenience, on the other.We also explore Blake's roll-up strategy with Austin Eastciders and Avid Cider, and Andrew's caution to founders eyeing acquisitions: Cut synergy projections in half and assume everything will take longer than planned.If you're building in beverage — especially in a capital-intensive, agricultural category — this episode offers real insight on distribution strategy, capital discipline, and earning mindshare at scale.Because as Andrew puts it: There's no finish line. The job just gets bigger.For the latest updates, follow us:Business of Drinks:YouTubeLinkedInInstagram @bizofdrinksErica Duecy, co-host: Erica Duecy is founder and co-host of Business of Drinks and one of the drinks industry's most accomplished digital and content strategists.

True Christianity is marked by discernment and testing the spirits. In a world filled with persuasive religious, cultural, and political voices, believers are called to test every message by the lordship of Jesus, the character of His love, and the truth of Scripture. Are you carefully examining the spirits around you—or simply trusting what sounds right?

In this profound episode of the TruthSeekah Podcast, we dive deep into the extraordinary life ofDr. Louis Turi, a man whose journey began with extraterrestrial contact as a young child in France. This isn't just another story of UFO sightings; it is a firsthand account of lifelong alien abduction and telepathic communication with entities from beyond our world. Dr. Turi details his early experiences with "big-eyed monkeys" that visited his bedside—a terrifying ordeal that eventually blossomed into a spiritual partnership with enlightened beings. As we navigate the current landscape of UFO disclosure, Dr. Turi's insights provide a necessary bridge between the physical and the metaphysical. He discusses his channeling of the ET entity known as Draco, who has provided him with startlingly accurate prophetic predictions regarding world events. We also explore the darker side of the phenomenon, including Men in Black encounters and the government's role in suppressing the truth about galactic federation involvement on Earth.Whether you are seeking starseed activation or simply want to understand the supernatural forces at play in our universe, this interview is a masterclass in esoteric knowledge.Dr. Turi challenges the mainstream narrative, urging listeners to wake up to their cosmic heritage. By understanding the ancient aliens connection and our own spiritual awakening, we can begin to decode the messages being sent to humanity. Join us as we pierce the veil of the unknown and confront the reality of alien life among us. This episode is essential viewing for anyone interested in the paranormal, prophecy, and the future of human consciousness.✨ Download Our FREE Throne Room Meditation✨ ➡️ https://www.truthseekah.com ➡️Join our online community at https://www.truthseekah.com ➡️ Support on Patreon! https://patreon.com/join/truthseekah✅ Get access to 40+ video lessons + Weekly LIVE calls!✅ Worldwide Online Community!✅ Courses, Monthly Webinars, Prayer, Meditation, Discussion✅ TruthSeekah's Meditation Library

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE!With a population of just 2,400, Fowler, Indiana may seem like a quiet Midwestern town—but its history tells a different story. Reports of shadow figures, phantom footsteps, and lingering spirits have made it one of the most paranormally active small towns in the region.At the Historic Fowler Theatre, unexplained noises echo through the auditorium, and stories persist of three spirits who never took their final bow—including the theatre's original owner, a manager whose life ended in tragedy, and the ghost of a child seen near the stage.Just blocks away, the Old Benton County Jail carries its own chilling reputation. Visitors report shadowy figures and disembodied footsteps, believed to be tied to former Sheriff Alva Hartman, who was killed in a late-1800s shootout and is said to still patrol the grounds.Today on The Grave Talks, we talk with Dwight Snethen, founder of “My Haunted Fowler,” about the town's haunted legacy, its most active locations, and why so many spirits in Fowler seem unwilling to leave.For more information, visit their website at fowlertheater.com or search My Haunted Fowler on Facebook. #FowlerIndiana #HauntedIndiana #HistoricFowlerTheatre #OldBentonCountyJail #AlvaHartman #SmallTownHauntings #MidwestParanormal #GhostStories #TheGraveTalks #MyHauntedFowler #HauntedTheatre #HauntedJail Love real ghost stories?

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE!This Grave Talks Classic Episode features a conversation with Richard Moschella—paranormal investigator, published author, and psychic medium who quite literally draws what he sees in the spirit world. Unlike many mediums who rely solely on impressions and verbal messages, Richard translates encounters with the departed into detailed sketches, capturing the faces and expressions of those who have crossed over.How does a spirit “sit” for a portrait? Can multiple spirits appear at once? And what role do modern paranormal tools play in strengthening communication between realms? Richard shares how he first realized he could see spirits, how he developed the ability to sketch them, and what these encounters reveal about life beyond death.From lighthearted moments to deeply emotional readings, this conversation explores the intersection of art and the afterlife—and what it truly means to give a face to the unseen.#TheGraveTalks #ParanormalPodcast #PsychicMedium #SpiritCommunication #LifeAfterDeath #GhostEncounters #ParanormalInvestigation #HauntedStories #AfterlifeEvidence #Mediumship #SpiritualExperiences #ClassicEpisodeLove real ghost stories?

We continue our Australian month with Spirits of the Air, Gremlins of the Clouds, the stark 1989 feature debut of Alex Proyas. Before The Crow or Dark City, Proyas delivered this sun-blasted sci-fi Western set in a post-apocalyptic desert where the wind blows land desert bakes.A lone wanderer, Smith (Norman "The Norm" Boyd), emerges from the dunes and collides with siblings Felix and Betty Crabtree (Michael Lake and Melissa Davis), who survive on beans, religious fervor, and flying mania. Smith's arrival fractures their fragile world, igniting jealousy, spiritual dread, and Felix's obsessive dream.Cullen Gallagher and Rob Spencer join Mike to explore Proyas's theological undercurrents, and the film's singular place in late-'80s Australian cinema. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-projection-booth-podcast--5513239/support.Become a supporter of The Projection Booth at http://www.patreon.com/projectionbooth

Sony has accomplished a truly rare feat in this contentious era by providing players with a widely-lauded hour-plus State of Play presentation. At the top of the heap of announcements for many are a duo of God of War-related unveilings -- the long-rumored 2.5D Metroidvania game and an early-in-development ground-up remake of the original PS2 and PS3 trilogy -- with the former project stealth released at the time of its reveal. That's right: You can buy it right now! 29 other games were showcased, revealed, and otherwise shown off during the proceedings as well, like a new Castlevania called Belmont's Curse, a sequel to Kena: Bridge of Spirits called Scars of Kosmora, a AAA John Wick project, stealth title Yakoh: Shinobi Ops, the second volume of Konami's Metal Gear Collection, and much, much more.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! PART TWOAn out-of-body experience in childhood marked the beginning of Stephen Williams's lifelong sensitivity to the unseen. What began as a deeply personal and confusing moment evolved into a focused pursuit of understanding spirits and the environments they inhabit.Over time, that sensitivity became structured investigation. Stephen and his team explore reported hauntings with the belief that not every spirit lingers by choice. Some, he believes, are confused, attached, or unaware they've passed. Their work extends beyond documentation into what they call “spirit rescues” — helping restless souls move on while bringing peace to the living affected by their presence.His experiences raise larger questions about the relationship between the living and the dead. If some spirits remain earthbound, do they require guidance? And if so, who is responsible for providing it?Stephen's accounts highlight the tension between skepticism and experience, fear and compassion — and the possibility that crossing over may not always happen on its own.#TheGraveTalks #CrossingOver #SpiritRescue #ParanormalInvestigation #HelpingSpirits #LifeAfterDeath #HauntedCases #TrueParanormal #Sensitive #OutOfBodyExperienceLove real ghost stories?
