    Ted PageTake a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know Ted Page. Ted is a marketing executive with his own firm, as well the author of several books. In this episode we discuss his early days in advertising; working for McCann- Erickson, and what led him to start his own company called Captains of Industry. Next, we get into a couple of the books that he has written previously, including a collection of family stories, and a book about branding & marketing. Then we talk about his most recent book Good Grandpa: Stories From the Heart of Grandfatherhood. Along the way, we discover that he worked with a previous guest of my show, more than 30 years ago! We dive into the impact that his own grandfathers had on him growing up, and why he felt that it was important to be that figure in the lives of his own grandchildren. We touch on the book and some of the folks that he interviewed and some of the things that he learned during this process. Ted shares anecdotes about Monarch butterflies, City Slickers, 'The Number One Thing', and 'The Greatest Generation'. This book is a fantastic read, even if you may never be a grandparent. The book is worth the read just for life lessons and the engaging stories from his family's campground on Lake Willoughby in Vermont. Special thanks to previous guest and really good dude; Greg Payne of The Cool Grandpa Podcast for making this happen.

    In the 1950s, Britain secretly operated Room 801 — a hidden UFO investigation unit tracking thousands of sightings while publicly denying its existence. But the story goes far deeper: from Sir Peter Horsley's alleged meeting with an alien called "Mr. Janus" to Dorothy Kilgallen's explosive report about a recovered crashed UFO, and the mysterious 1964 Penkridge incident where military forces allegedly recovered an extraterrestrial craft and bodies — all while the Royal Family quietly collected their own UFO files behind the scenes.Join the DARKNESS SYNDICATE: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateTake the WEIRD DARKNESS LISTENER SURVEY and help mold the future of the podcast: https://weirddarkness.com/surveyIN THIS EPISODE:They were times when humans acted inhuman – executing innocent people, usually women, due to superstitious fears.

In this episode, Zena answers a writer's question about whether “life as the villain” works, and breaks down the difference between antagonists, villains, and complex characters who don't fit neatly into either box.You'll learn:Why “life” as an antagonist can weaken your story (unless it's a disaster plot).How antagonists differ from villains—and why that matters.The dangers of victimizing your protagonist.How to craft compelling conflict even without a traditional “bad guy.”Perfect for writers exploring survival stories, nuanced characters, or non-traditional narrative conflicts.This question came straight from Zena's monthly office hours, which are open to anyone who's ever purchased one of her classes.

    From the Celtic fairies who bake human blood into deadly cakes to the Filipino Aswang who slides her hollow tongue through windows at night, every culture on Earth has created its own terrifying version of the vampire—and most are far more disturbing than Dracula.Join the DARKNESS SYNDICATE: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateTake the WEIRD DARKNESS LISTENER SURVEY and help mold the future of the podcast: https://weirddarkness.com/surveyIN THIS EPISODE: True crime lovers will most readily admit that the strange cases are the juiciest. Some cases are bizarre, some are odd, others can be brutal… but whatever your preference, I've got some of the weirdest ones to share with you. (Strange Stories of True Crime) *** It seems most all states or territories in northern America have their own version of a big, hairy, bipedal creature we've all come to call Bigfoot. Ohio has their own, which has been dubbed the “Grassman.” (Buckeye Bigfoot of Ohio) *** Residents of Christchurch and the surrounding areas of Canterbury in New Zealand would suffer two huge earthquakes within six months – one September 2010, then another February 2011.  And if the hundreds of souls who perished wasn't enough, it appears the earth cracking open as it did unleashed something evil from the bowels of hell. (The Earthquake That Released a Demon) *** Sadly, child abuse and murder is not only a modern crime – it has been happening since the beginning of human history. But some cases are so severe or brutal, they rise to the surface and point out just how evil some people can be – such as Elizabeth Brownrigg, who was hanged for her crimes – and deservedly so. (The Inhumane Actions of Elizabeth Brownrigg) *** Slicked back hair, black cape, long white canines, maybe a mesmerizing stare… the image of the vampire has become iconic, if not a bit predictable. But bloodsucking creatures around the world aren't all the same – and while the traditional look of a vampire might frighten some, there are much more terrifying versions to fear in the night.

    When the Symes family spotted a glowing orb following them home from a pub in Wales in 1975, they had no idea it was just the beginning of decades of UFO encounters that would span multiple generations. From metallic spheres hovering over their house to military jets mysteriously appearing after their reports, their experiences mirror hundreds of similar sightings of spherical UFOs stalking families across Britain and around the world.Join the DARKNESS SYNDICATE: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateTake the WEIRD DARKNESS LISTENER SURVEY and help mold the future of the podcast: https://weirddarkness.com/surveyIN THIS EPISODE: When UFO researcher and investigator, Richard Hall, first received reports of a UFO sighting from the Symes family in the United Kingdom in 2011, he perhaps didn't expect that the encounters they would reveal would stretch back to the mid-1970s. Whether the Symes family are just simply in the right place at the right time or whether their location plays a part in these multiple sightings remains open to debate. Although there isn't any evidence for it, perhaps the Symes have been targeted by the alleged extraterrestrial occupants of these seemingly alien vehicles. What is interesting, though, is that there are many sightings of these shiny or glowing spherical UFOs on record, both in the United Kingdom and around the world. And what's more, many of them share remarkably similar details in terms of their description and how they act.SOURCES AND RESOURCES FROM THE EPISODE…“The Many Extraterrestrial Experiences of the Symes Family” by Marcus Lowth for UFO Insight:https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p878rbh=====(Over time links may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

    In 1953, dogs and livestock in Bladenboro, North Carolina began turning up dead with their skulls crushed flat and their bodies completely drained of blood, while witnesses reported seeing a massive cat-like creature that made sounds like a woman screaming. Over 70 years later, similar attacks still occur in the area, and despite massive hunts involving over a thousand people, no one has ever caught or identified what's killing these animals.Join the DARKNESS SYNDICATE: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateTake the WEIRD DARKNESS LISTENER SURVEY and help mold the future of the podcast: https://weirddarkness.com/surveyIN THIS EPISODE: Every part of the world seems to have its own share of cryptids – and sometimes, creatures that are unique to that area. For example, along with the ubiquitous Bigfoot, you might have heard about North Carolina's “Moon-Eyed People”, or “The Wampus Cat”. But I'm guessing you've not heard about what some call “The Vampire Beast” of Bladenboro. (The Beast of Bladenboro) *** The story of Isabella Guzman went viral on TikTok six years after she was convicted of the murder of her mother. During the trial she claimed she was abused… then she pleaded insanity. But one good thing did come from the trial… a serious discussion about mental illness. (Isabella Guzman: The Viral Teenage Killer) *** If you're a proponent of execution – no judgement here, just go with me – the only way to see that through is to have someone push the button, flip the switch, pull the trigger, or whatever method is being used in order to snuff out the life of the soon-to-be-dead inmate. Someone has to get their hands dirty, metaphorically speaking. And even if you think you'd have the stomach and determination to do the job – let me ask you this. Would you be okay with literally getting your hands bloody? Would you survive as a Medieval executioner, using an axe to chop off your victims heads? What would life be like with that job? (Life As a Medieval Executioner) *** We've all heard of cryptids like Bigfoot, Mothman, the Loch Ness Monster, the Jersey Devil, the Dogman, and so on.

Her message is for all women on how to address the gaps in awareness about menopause.  If you're a health and wellness pro you'll want to listen to this, the new menopause therapy.   My Guest: Satori Shakoor is a dynamic storyteller, performer, and social entrepreneur, known for founding the award-winning The Secret Society of Twisted Storytellers®. Her career began as a background singer with George Clinton and Parliament/Funkadelic, later expanding into acting, comedy, and writing. She has captivated audiences on NPR, global stages, and podcasts.  Shakoor uses fearless humor and cultural storytelling, delivering a perspective on aging, womanhood, and the midlife experience in her new comedic stand-up storytelling concert film “Confessions of a Menopausal Femme Fatale,” premiered June 12 on Amazon Prime, Apple TV+, and Google Play, with pre-orders beginning June 1 on iTunes.   Questions We Answer in This Episode: [00:05:06] How did you begin your career and artistic journey? [00:15:00] Why did you choose stand-up humor to convey a message about menopause and aging? [00:25:21] What do you hope women take away from watching “Confessions of a Menopausal Femme Fatale”? [00:31:30] You attended a gathering with Halle Berry and Governor Whitmer to discuss women's healthcare and menopause, what occurred during those conversations? How do you hope your film contributes to that growing cultural dialogue? [00:36:09] You moved between music, theatre, television, and film—what keeps you pushing creative boundaries? What's next after this project?

Use hormonal shifts as a source of creative energy. Honesty about symptoms creates solidarity. Turn private struggles into public art. Key Takeaways Menopause can be a time of creative rebirth, not just physical change. Storytelling serves as both personal therapy and cultural activism. Reframing “femme fatale” energy empowers women to embrace their sensuality without shame. Speaking openly about menopause can strengthen community bonds and normalize experiences.
