Bob Sargent joins Troy and I to discuss KING OF KONG ISLAND (1968). Or is it just KONG ISLAND? And what connection to King Kong does this movie actually have? Spoiler alert – none! Because Mr. Sargent has a soft spot in his heart (and head) for this bizarre Italian production we examine it for signs of sanity. None were found, but along the way we learned a little about ourselves. Sort of. And for some reason we also talked about 70's rock group StoneGround. I can't understand why. For the curious, KING OF KONG ISLAND (1968) is a movie of many parts. It is roughly 20% jungle mercenary movie; 20% mad scientist tale; 20% revenge story; 20% jungle girl adventure and 20% family melodrama. It is also 100% nuts! While much of the advertising for the film centers around the jungle girl sections of the story we come to the conclusion that Eva (or the Scared Monkey as she is referred to most often) could be removed from the film with little detriment to the story. Of course, this would have eliminated the film's nudity so I don't think anyone involved would have agreed to do this. But the film has so much going on that it is difficult to stop watching as the madness unfolds. We see stuntman turned actor Brad Harris beefcake up the place with his exciting dance moves and flinty abs. We see veteran Hollywood tough guy Marc Lawrence play a mad scientist/Bond villain using surgically altered gorillas to control a jungle cave. We witness plenty of animal stock footage. It all adds up to a featue length movie. Really. Even if you haven't seen this cinematic epic there are things in the episode to entertain you. Troy's alternate title suggestions are inventive and arguably better than any of the ones actually used. Bob's attempts to explain his lifelong fascination with this whacky film lead us from a sweaty apartment in the 1980's to modern 21st century life – pity his poor wife! And bonus points to the listeners that can pinpoint the moment when I gave up on presenting a plot synopsis. Eventually you have to accept that things have gotten away from you. If you have seen KING OF KONG ISLAND and have something to add to our discussion thebloodypit@gmail.com is the place to send your thoughts. Thank you for listening!

Parmi les innombrables groupes, à la destinée sois disant planétaires, qui ont sombré corps et âme dans les oubliettes de l'histoire au terme d'une carrière finalement éphémère, on trouve la formation américaine Stoneground. Si aujourd'hui tout le monde a oublié Stoneground, si tant est qu'on l'ai connu, il faut savoir qu'au début des années 70, le prestigieux label Warner misait beaucoup, sinon tout, sur ce groupe originaire de Concord, en Californie...

Aaron Zober brings on Tim Richards to The Appropriate Omnivore podcast. Tim recently rebranded The Philosopher's Stoneground as Philosopher Foods. Philosopher Foods makes organic craft almond and coconut butters. Tim talks about everything almond farming. Conventional almond farming is one of the most unsustainable types of agriculture with its heavy use of water and pesticides. Tim explains though that we don't need to give up our love for almonds as they can be grown sustainably. He then gets into how almonds have many health benefits. Philosopher Foods also produces coconut butter. While the coconuts currently used come from regenerative agriculture, Tim gets into his quest to use regenerative almonds. Plus Tim talks about issues related with using truly raw almonds and what products we can expect from Philosopher Foods in the future.

In the first of our ghost stories for Christmas, Mr Jim Moon invites you to take seat by the fireside to hear the last of the Stoneground ghost tales by EG Swain, the story of The Kirk Spook! 

Welcome back to the cosy fireside of the Great Library of Dreams, where we'll hear another Stoneground Ghost Tale from EG Swain. Mr Batchell, the antiquarian clergyman, once again finds the past does not always lie as quietly as it should in his parish when he makes an intriguing historical excavation in his garden...

In this episode we're staking out Dracula A.D. 1972 from 1972. It's Hammer time as Johnny Alucard raises Count Dracula from the dead in London, and the Count goes after the descendants of Van Helsing. Along the way Paul pierces marshmelons with a sporkle, Colin wonders why ITV never did Audience with the Devil and we wonder if Johnny Alucard is the Frank Spencer of horror. Intro music by Michael Vickers and outro by Stoneground.  

Michael Stoate is a fifth generation miller in Dorset, whose family have been producing stoneground flour since 1832.  That means he knows a lot about flour.  It was the era when sailing ketches would carry the flour across the Severn to Swansea and return with coal for the mills. As a teenager he thought he’d be an engineer but he had so much fun getting his hands dirty in the holidays he couldn’t help but join the family business.   In this conversation you’ll learn about the wonder of wheat germ – the embryo of life, which gives bread its gorgeous flavour – and what really happens to it in modern mechanised milling… That might help you work out how bread now can last for days, but when you were a kid, or in France, it lasted just a few hours.   And you’ll see how Michael has adapted to the ever-changing bread scene: from the lows of the late 80s and 90s, when his whole-food shop market disappeared to brighter times, with our growing interest in continental breads, artisanal baking and sourdough.   I learnt a lot, and I hope you do too.  Enjoy x

In the first show for a new year, Mr Jim Moon takes us back to the sleepy parish of Stoneground, where EG Swain has another eerie tale to tell, one that occurred upon a cold and frosty January night...

“ARE YOU READY? HE'S READY…TO FREAK YOU OUT…OUT OF THIS WORLD!” This is the question asked by the original trailer for the subject of our Halloween episode, Dracula A.D. 1972, starring Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, Stephanie Beacham, Christopher Neame, and Caroline Munro. Join Elle, JoJo, and Andrew for their hot takes about why this oft-maligned entry is actually a high point in the Hammer Dracula legacy. Topics include Lee & Cushing's beautiful friendship, the questionable fashion choices of Jessica Van Helsing, and the enduring appeal of “The” Stoneground. Come along…it'll be a little scene.The Invisible Ray is hosted by Andrew Ihla, JoJo Seames, and Elle Collins.Listen on iTunesSupport Andrew and JoJoSupport EllePodcast artwork by JoJo Seames.

This week Mr Jim Moon is delving once again into the Stoneground Ghost Tales by EG Swain to uncover a cautionary tale that may serve as a lesson for anyone foolish enough to be doing a bit of gardening this weekend...

Well December is here once again, and as is traditional here at the Great Library of Dreams we are hosting a series of readings of ghost stories for Christmas. We begin this year's selection of festive chillers with a tale written by EG Swain, a good friend of the great MR James who was inspired to try his own hand at crafting ghostly tales. The result was a remarkable collection called the Stoneground Ghost Tales, which blended Jamesian frights with a touch of Wodehousian humour. In this story, the long suffering vicar of Stoneground, Mr Batchell, discovers something strange about one of the parish church's windows...   

This week in the Great Library of Dreams, we are returning to the Stoneground Ghost Tales, written by EG Swain, a good friend of the great MR James. In this story we hear of how Mr Batchell acquired a rather nice photograph of the vicarage at Stoneground, and what was discovered with the picture was enlarged...
