What if vampirism wasn't supernatural… but biological?In today's review, I dive into The Strain (2009), the first novel in Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan's acclaimed vampire horror trilogy. Long before I knew this was a book series, I enjoyed watching FX's four-season adaptation. Once I discovered there were novels behind the show, this one shot straight onto my TBR.Featuring a terrifying blend of vampire mythology, viral infection, scientific investigation, ancient prophecy, and apocalyptic horror, The Strain delivers one of the most unique takes on vampires you'll ever encounter. Add in a memorable cast of characters, Holocaust survivor Abraham Setrakian, a truly unforgettable opening mystery involving a jetliner full of dead passengers, and audiobook narration by Ron Perlman himself, and you've got a recipe for a fantastic horror read.Join me as I discuss what makes this novel work so well, who will love it, who might want to skip it, and why I think vampire fans owe it to themselves to check out this modern horror classic.Have you read The Strain?

Gather close, dear listeners…and heed the warning in my voice, for such tales are not spun without consequence. This week on the Scary Spirits Podcast, we mark the fateful anniversary of the 1956 horror classic The Werewolf, first unveiled to unsuspecting audiences on June 13th—a night when shadows grew longer, and mankind's fragile hold over the beast within was tested. Join your guides, Karen and Greg, as they walk the haunted path of this classic werewolf film, exploring its eerie atmosphere, tragic transformation, and the age-old curse that binds man to monster. But beware…their journey is not taken empty-handed. As the moon rises, they partake in a hauntingly crafted “Wolfsbane Serum” cocktail, a potion inspired by ancient remedies whispered among villagers and seers—said to ward off the beast…or perhaps awaken it. Sip along if you dare, as they unravel the film's chilling legacy, its place in vintage horror cinema, and the enduring fascination with werewolf mythology that still grips us today. For remember, my friends…when the wolfbane blooms and the moon is full, even the most innocent soul may not escape the call. Listen now…before the curse finds you. Wolfsbane Serum Cocktail • 1 1/2 oz creme de violette• 1/4 oz lime juice• club soda Instructions: In a mixing glass combine Creme de Violette and lime juice over ice. Stir.

Class is back in session, Ladies, as Sarah continues her diaconal studies at Concordia Seminary, St. Louis!     In this episode, Sarah offers a helpful introductory crash course in systematic theology as she revisits themes from her latest seminary class, “The Master Narrative.”  After first taking time to unpack terms like “narrative” and “metanarrative,” she then shows how two narratives in particular wind their way throughout all of Scripture: the creation and redemption of the world, and God's calling and care for his covenant people. She then examines how these overarching themes regularly show up in sermons, creeds, prayers, and hymns (including “Come Ye Faithful, Raise the Strain”). She explores how all this theology matters for us, embarks on a “tiny sidequest” into cultural influences including Gnosticism, and shares the actual text of the Old Testament narrative story she recently wrote for class.   Resources referenced in this episode include:   Against Heresies: A Modern Translation with Introduction  Connect with the Lutheran Ladies on social media in The Lutheran Ladies' Lounge Facebook discussion group (facebook.com/groups/LutheranLadiesLounge) and on Instagram @lutheranladieslounge.

Not gonna lie, this is one of those strains that surprised us.When Jesse brought home Triple Stack from Dark Heart, neither of us had particularly high expectations. Based on past experiences, it probably wouldn't have been the strain we reached for on the shelf. Then we cracked the jar open.  Huge buds. Soft texture. Loud aroma. Good moisture. And after spending some time with it, we realized this one deserved a closer look.In this episode, we break down Triple Stack's flavor, terpene profile, effects, and why it ended up becoming one of the bigger surprises we've had from a Utah grower lately.  First impressions of Dark Heart's Triple StackWhy this strain completely changed our expectationsThe mystery behind its unreleased geneticsFlavor notes ranging from creamy vanilla and baked goods to funky cheese, fuel, and spiceTerpene profile featuring β-Caryophyllene, Myrcene, Limonene, and LinaloolWhy slow-onset strains can sometimes create a longer-lasting experienceHow Triple Stack delivered relaxation without heavy sedationWhy great budtenders are worth their weight in goldThe importance of shopping by terpene profile instead of THC percentage aloneThe cannabis strains that continue to surprise us the mostGrower: Dark Heart (Utah)Strain: Triple StackType: Indica-Hybrid Leaning Balanced HybridTHC: Typically reported between 20-30%Top Terpenes: β-Caryophyllene, Myrcene, Limonene, LinaloolReported Flavor Notes: Vanilla dough, toasted nuts, berry, grape, fuel, cream, funky cheese, and spice. Triple Stack felt less like flipping a light switch and more like slowly turning down a dimmer.The onset was gradual. No racing thoughts. No anxiety. No heavy couch lock.Instead, it delivered a calm, clear-headed relaxation that seemed to melt tension out of the shoulders and upper back while keeping the mind engaged and present. It felt social, creative, and surprisingly functional.  If you've ever wanted something that lets you appreciate a museum, wander an art gallery, play board games with friends, or simply enjoy a conversation without feeling glued to the couch, this strain might be worth exploring.  A strain doesn't have to hit like a freight train to be effective.Sometimes the best cannabis experiences are the ones that sneak up slowly, quiet the noise, relax the body, and let you stay fully present.Triple Stack was a great reminder of that.  Keep the Mic on.Fuel the movement. Keep the conversation going.We keep a running list of tools and brands we personally enjoy and actually use.Find everything in one place here:

Step into the candlelit shadows and indulge your darker curiosities—this week on the Scary Spirits Podcast, we invoke the sinister legacy of The Omen as we celebrate the approaching anniversary of the 2006 remake of the 1976 horror classic, released on the most unholy of dates: June 6th (06/06/06). Join your hosts, Karen and Greg, as they peel back the veil of polite society and examine the chilling mythology, occult symbolism, and infernal intrigue woven into this infamous film. With a tone both seductive and unsettling, they explore the enduring allure of demonic prophecy, the Antichrist narrative, and the unsettling question: what if darkness is not to be feared, but embraced? As the discussion unfolds, so too does a ritual of indulgence—featuring a devilishly crafted “Mark of the Beast Cocktail,” designed to awaken the senses and tempt fate itself. Rich, bold, and wickedly satisfying, it's the perfect libation to accompany a descent into cinematic darkness. Whether you're a devotee of classic horror films, a seeker of occult cinema, or simply drawn to the forbidden, this episode promises a deliciously diabolical experience. The Mark of the Beast • 1 1/2 oz black vodka (or regular vodka with a drop of black food coloring)• 1/2 oz pomegranate liqueur (like PAMA)• 3/4 oz fresh blood orange juice• 1/2 oz simple syrup• 3 dashes Angostura bitters• 1/4 oz grenadine• 1 pinch activated charcoal (optional)• black cherry for garnish• orange peel (charred if possible) for garnish Instructions: In a shaker, combine the vodka, pomegranate liqueur, blood orange juice, simple syrup, and bitters. Add ice and shake until well chilled. (Optional) Add a tiny pinch of activated charcoal to deepen the color. Shake briefly again. Strain into a chilled coupe or lowball glass. Slowly drizzle the grenadine into the center of the drink—it should sink and spread like a sinister symbol forming in the glass. Add a black cherry on a pick and express a lightly charred orange peel over the top before dropping it in. A Brief Synopsis: An American diplomat covertly adopts an orphaned boy named Damien to spare his grieving wife after their biological child dies at birth. As Damien grows, a series of bizarre, supernatural deaths plague the family, and the diplomat eventually discovers his adopted son is actually the Antichrist. Some of the topics discussed and highlights of this episode include: Karen gives us some background information on the Vatican Observatory. We learn about the Bible verse in Revelations 8:7. Karen tells us about the opera Salome by Richard Strauss. Can air in an I.V. cause the death of a person? Greg and Karen have a debate about black German Shepherds.

Episode 301: This week's episode dives into the tech stories that should keep you up at night. We start with the chilling reality of the 23andMe breach—proof that your genetic code, the one thing you can never change, can be stolen, sorted, and sold to the highest bidder. Then we move to smart‑city surveillance gone rogue, where police camera networks keep recording even after the city tries to shut them down, leaving officials resorting to trash bags and tape while the data quietly flows elsewhere. Add in AI-driven hardware shortages now hitting consumer devices, and the picture gets even more unsettling.But the unease doesn't stop there. We tease emerging tech that blurs the line between science and science fiction: Wi‑Fi systems that can identify you through walls, living neuron computers that learn, and AI models struggling to admit what they don't know. Finally, we ground it all with a space‑tech reality check—from Blue Origin delays to SpaceX's crypto holdings—reminding listeners that even the companies shaping the future aren't immune to chaos. If you want the stories that reveal how fragile our digital world really is, this is the episode you don't skip all coming up on TechTime Radio, with a little whiskey on the side.-- Full Episode Details:Your genetic code is now a commodity, and the scariest part is you can't cancel it, replace it, or reset it like a password. We open with the 23andMe breach and lawsuit, unpacking how credential stuffing can unlock deeply personal genetic data, why DNA privacy is permanent, and what it means when stolen data can be resold and targeted by group. If you've ever wondered whether consumer DNA testing is worth the risk, we lay out the tradeoffs in plain terms.Then we head straight into smart city surveillance with a story that's equal parts absurd and alarming: police camera networks that can't be shut off by the city that paid for them. When officials learn data is being shared beyond local law enforcement, the “solution” becomes literal black trash bags over the lenses. It's funny until you realize it exposes a bigger issue in public tech contracts, license plate reader systems, and who truly controls the technology embedded in daily life.We also connect the dots between AI infrastructure and your wallet, using the Steam Deck OLED price hike as a real-world signal of component shortages, supply chain pressure, and AI data centers consuming the same memory and compute ecosystem that powers consumer devices. Along the way, we play Two Truths and a Lie with stories about Wi-Fi based person identification and living neuron biocomputing, then talk AI reliability and the push for models that can finally say “I don't know” instead of hallucinating. We close with a space tech reality check from Blue Origin and a blunt conversation about SpaceX's Bitcoin holdings and why crypto still feels like speculation to a lot of people.If you like tech news that's practical, skeptical, and still fun, subscribe for weekly episodes, share this with a friend who loves debating privacy and AI, and leave us a review so more people can find the show.Send us Fan MailSupport the show

This week on the Scary Spirits Podcast, we pay solemn tribute to two titans of terror—the incomparable Peter Cushing and Sir Christopher Lee—by revisiting the chilling 1972 cult classic, Horror Express. Step aboard a snowbound locomotive hurtling through the frozen desolation of Siberia, where something ancient, unspeakable, and utterly relentless stalks its prey beneath the dim glow of gaslight. Civilization fades with every passing mile… and survival becomes a most uncertain luxury. Your hosts, Karen and Greg, guide you through this atmospheric nightmare with equal parts wit and reverence, dissecting the film's eerie legacy, unforgettable performances, and the dread that lingers long after the final frame fades to black. And what, you may ask, is terror without a proper indulgence? In honor of this devilish journey, they sip upon the elegantly crafted “Beautiful Friendship” cocktail—a drink as refined as it is deceptively potent. So, steel your nerves, pour yourself something worthy… and join us for a celebration of gothic horror, cinematic brilliance, and the enduring legacy of two gentlemen who defined the genre. All aboard… the Horror Express awaits.

Top with club soda, gently stir to combine, and garnish with a sprig of fresh mint.

Eccentric Exercise: Better Results with Less Effort. Leyla Muedin, a registered dietitian nutritionist, discusses eccentric exercise and research suggesting it may deliver better results than strenuous workouts that cause muscle damage and delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). She explains contraction types—isometric, concentric, and eccentric—highlighting that eccentric contractions involve muscle lengthening during the lowering phase (e.g., lowering a dumbbell, walking downstairs) and can provide greater mechanical loading with lower perceived effort, less fatigue, and broad accessibility across ages and health conditions, though requiring more focus and control. She cites studies including stair-descending in elderly obese women improving cardiovascular function, insulin sensitivity, cholesterol, and strength, and a five-minute home routine (chair squats, wall pushups, chair reclines, heel drops) improving strength, flexibility, mental health, and encouraging continued exercise. She notes athletic benefits and the need for further research.
