Thank you all !!! About Wayne: Wayne is the Author of the Vampyre Tales Series. He began writing when he was in grade school because he found it relaxed him, and helped him to “escape” the real world. As time went on, he was given the opportunity to teach a drama class at a local high school, to which he accepted and focused on the importance of stage presence and character building. This later led to a request that would change everything for him. He was asked to create a “believable” Vampire character, and not only did he comply, but his character went on to become his personal persona that would later thrive as the main character of the Vampyre Tales. His books have been taking vampire fans on a journey of their own, leaving a trail of rave reviews and one award thus far, and it's only the beginning. He was also the “head vampire” for one of Canada‘s largest theme parks, for the Halloween season several years running which attracted the attention of other organizations. He was hired as a consultant, to build their theatrical haunted houses for the and Screamers in Ottawa Ontario Canada, operated by the Kiwanis was the first, then went on to become a well-known Halloween hotspot . Being non for profit, other Kiwanis divisions throughout the country have since based their Halloween haunts on the Ottawa location, and the creativity behind the origins, have come from Wayne Mallows. Wayne owned a haunted Gothic Revival Manor House for over a decade, and is no Stranger to the Paranormal He has also appeared on paranormal television, with a few honourable mentions being Paranormal Survivor S3, Paranormal Night Shift, There's No Such Thing as Ghosts, Much Music, and more.

This week, in honor of Black History Month, the ladies review Percival Everett's powerful and provocative novel The Trees. They begin with the book's gripping premise: when detectives from the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation arrive in Money, Mississippi to investigate a series of brutal murders, they discover something unsettling at each crime scene, a second body resembling Emmett Till. Met with resistance from local law enforcement and racist townsfolk, the detectives begin to suspect these killings are acts of retribution. As eerily similar murders begin unfolding across the country, it becomes clear that the past refuses to stay buried and that something larger is underway.In this bold and biting page turner, Everett confronts the legacy of lynching, white supremacy, and racial violence in America with sharp satire and unflinching honesty. The hosts unpack the novel's layered storytelling, dark humor, historical weight, and cultural commentary, discussing how it challenges readers while refusing comfort. It is a thought provoking conversation about memory, justice, and what it means when history demands to be reckoned with. Cheeers!SPOILERS & Trigger Warning: This book discusses the use of racial slurs, racial violence, racial hatred, lynchings, and other forms of racist behavior. Depictions of violence in this novel are graphic. *Please be advised this episode is intended for adult audiences and contains adult language and content.

In this episode of Spymasters, Antonia Senior sits down with acclaimed author Alex Preston to discuss his gripping new novel A Stranger in Corfu — a dark, atmospheric story that blends the glamour of the Mediterranean with the psychological wreckage of espionage. At the centre of the novel is Nina, a young MI6 agent dispatched into the collapsing chaos of 1990s Yugoslavia, where the moral certainties of her training collide with the brutal reality of intelligence work. What follows is a haunting journey — one that eventually leads her to a mysterious island off Corfu, a place that feels less like paradise and more like a retirement home for damaged spies. Alex reveals the real-world inspirations behind the story, including Corfu's extraordinary intelligence history, and the chilling legacy of Operation Valuable — the failed Anglo-American Cold War effort to destabilise communist Albania. This is an episode about idealism, betrayal, compromised souls, and the seductive power of “beautiful lies.” If you love John le Carré, moral complexity, or spy stories that feel uncomfortably real… you're going to love this conversation.

The ransom narrative in the Nancy Guthrie case has collapsed. Both deadlines passed. The Bitcoin wallet listed in the demand — six million dollars — has never recorded a single transaction. The Guthrie family publicly said they would pay, and nobody came to collect. One demand was already confirmed as a hoax, with Derrick Callella of Hawthorne, California charged federally after admitting he sent fake texts to the family. He has no connection to the actual disappearance.Nancy Guthrie, the eighty-four-year-old mother of Today show co-anchor Savannah Guthrie, has been missing from her Tucson-area home since early February 1, 2026. Her blood was confirmed on the porch. Her doorbell camera went offline at 1:47 AM. Her pacemaker stopped syncing around 2 AM. Phone, wallet, car, heart medication — all left behind. The sheriff believes she was taken against her will. No suspects have been identified.On True Crime Today, we dig into what happens to a case like this when you remove the ransom. The FBI doesn't even track adult kidnapping-for-ransom as a separate crime category — it's that rare. Stranger abductions of elderly victims have virtually no statistical precedent. And the data on cases that push past the first week with no suspect, no proof of life, and no direct captor contact paints a picture nobody wants to see but everyone should understand.We also break down the investigative movements — where authorities have been searching, what they've been seizing, and why the physical pattern of this investigation suggests a tightening focus rather than an expanding one. All individuals remain presumed innocent. No suspects named. But the numbers and the evidence trail both have something to say.If you have information about Nancy Guthrie's disappearance, contact the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI.#NancyGuthrie #SavannahGuthrie #TrueCrimeToday #FBI #MissingPersons #BitcoinRansom #Tucson #RansomHoax #CrimeData #ElderlyAbductionJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

If you could share a quiet table with Jesus for two hours, what would you ask—and how would your life change afterward? That question launched David Gregory from a self‑published novella to half a million copies sold and three film adaptations, but the deeper story is how a simple truth reshaped his faith: you can't live the Christian life; Christ lives it in you.We welcome David to unpack the journey from The Rest of the Gospel, which distilled Dan Stone's teaching on union with Christ, to the Perfect Stranger trilogy that invited skeptics into a page‑turning conversation. He explains why short, engaging fiction can carry sound theology further than a sermon, and how a dinner in a Cincinnati trattoria became a global gospel invitation. David also gets candid about the realities of today's publishing world—why authors now juggle writing, editing, design, and relentless marketing—and how he's learned to release outcomes to God even when a strong book needs more visibility.The conversation centers on One of Us, David's provocative retelling of the four Gospels set in modern America. We explore Manuel, a Mexican‑American mechanic whose words and works ripple across social media, drawing crowds, curiosity, and resistance from government, media, big tech, and religious elites. David shares the storytelling choices behind a mixed‑gender circle of close followers and how the novel addresses current issues while staying faithful to the character of Christ. Most of all, he challenges a common blind spot: Jesus lived as a fully human Son dependent on the Father, modeling the vine‑and‑branch life he now lives through us. If your yoke feels heavy, this reframing offers rest, clarity, and courage for daily trust.Listen for practical encouragement, honest insight, and a fresh way to see familiar stories.

Karen Bermann grew up in the mad orbit of her father, Fritz, the rebellious child of a Viennese Orthodox Jewish family who fled Europe alone as an adolescent in the late 1930s. An irreverent, comic, rageful man with three names, who spoke three languages, lived on three continents, and always kept his papers in order, Fritz lived a life shaped by survival. In this memoir, told in alternating voices in brief, lyrical episodes, Bermann explores not only the mystery of her father but also the inheritance he passed on: intergenerational trauma, fragile familial bonds, and a fraught sense of belonging. The Art of Being a Stranger: A Family Memoir (New Jewish Press, 2025) is a darkly funny narrative told in poetry, prose, and mixed-media drawings. While her father taught her how to save herself, Bermann realized early on that what she truly needed was to be saved from him. Set against the backdrop of 1960s and 1970s New York City, The Art of Being a Stranger is a poignant comic-drama that offers an intimate, layered exploration of parents and children in the shadow of history.

Is the Holy Spirit a "stranger" in your daily walk with Christ? In this powerful message from our Familiar Stranger series, Pastor Jason shares how the Holy Spirit is not just an accessory or an "add-on" to your faith—He is the power that makes faith possible.

Whether you are looking for a spiritual breakthrough or a new beginning in Christ, this service will challenge you to stop asking God to bless your plans and start setting your sails to catch His wind. ✨ In this video, you will: • Discover the difference between Old Testament "tasks" and New Testament "residency" of the Spirit. • Understand why the Holy Spirit is the ultimate "advantage" for every believer. • Learn how to stop "quenching" the Spirit and start living from a place of spiritual empowerment.

What happens when Emma Lazarus’s “The New Colossus” is no longer read as a civic creed, but as a provocation about who belongs—and what a democracy owes the vulnerable? In this episode, Yehuda Kurtzer reflects on what he perceives as the normalization of cruelty toward immigrants in America, the present state violence being carried out in Minneapolis, and the uneasy silence of Jewish institutions when civil rights are clearly under assault. He then turns his lens toward Israel—asking what it means for Jews in both democracies to draw the line not between “us” and “them,” but between cruelty and compassion.

Series: Familiar Stranger Title: The Breath of God Speaker: Pastor Ken Primeau Date: February 8, 2026 We talk often about God the Father and Jesus the Son, but the Holy Spirit can feel unfamiliar, misunderstood, or even overlooked. He is not an "it," a force, or a feeling. In this six-week series, we will slow down and open Scripture to understand better who the Holy Spirit is, not just what He does. We will explore His presence, His voice, and His work in shaping our lives as followers of Jesus. Together, we will discover how the Spirit leads us with wisdom, strengthens us with courage, and forms us in obedience and love.

This week, the hosts dive into His & Hers, the Netflix series adapted from the popular novel. They break down the twists, turns, and tangled relationships at the center of this messy murder mystery while raising a few questions about the plot along the way. From unreliable narrators to layered motives, the conversation balances critique with curiosity as the ladies unpack what worked, what confused them, and why the story was still fun to dissect. It is a lively, thoughtful discussion that leans into the chaos and keeps things entertaining from start to finish. Cheers!*

In Week 4 of our Familiar Stranger series, Pastor Jason Britt shifts our focus to the inner strength available through the Holy Spirit. We often treat the Spirit as an optional guest, but Ephesians 3 reminds us that He is the source of our power, intended to dwell in our hearts through faith. Drawing from Paul's prayer in Ephesians 3:14-19, this message explores what it looks like to be "rooted and grounded" in God's love. It's not just about knowing about God; it's about being filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. If you have felt spiritually depleted or disconnected, this message will help you tap into the "glorious riches" of His strength.   Key takeaways from Week 4: Inner Strength: How the Spirit strengthens your "inner being" to handle outward pressure. The Dwelling: Moving from the Spirit visiting your life to the Spirit residing in your heart. The Dimensions of Love: Grasping the width, length, height, and depth of Christ's love that surpasses knowledge.

Series: Familiar Stranger Title: Comfort, Clarity, and Courage Speaker: Pastor Corinne Gunter Date: February 1, 2026 We talk often about God the Father and Jesus the Son, but the Holy Spirit can feel unfamiliar, misunderstood, or even overlooked. He is not an "it," a force, or a feeling. In this six-week series, we will slow down and open Scripture to understand better who the Holy Spirit is, not just what He does. We will explore His presence, His voice, and His work in shaping our lives as followers of Jesus. Together, we will discover how the Spirit leads us with wisdom, strengthens us with courage, and forms us in obedience and love.

Week 3 of FAMILIAR STRANGER with Lead Pastor Jason Britt. Pastor Jason reminds us that the Spirit of God wants to bring healing to your hurt, so that your healed hurt can bring healing to others who are hurt.

In this episode, the hosts start with HBO's A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, sharing their early thoughts on the series before branching out into other shows currently on their radar, including Industry, Bridgerton Season 3, Beauty, and Landman.The conversation then circles back to last week's read, Francine's Spectacular Crash and Burn. Kat reflects on how deeply she connected with Davie, the neurodivergent ten-year-old whose intense fixations felt familiar, sparking a thoughtful discussion about why certain topics, especially slavery, can become fixation-worthy. Along the way, the hosts laugh at their differing lingering fixations from the previous episode, including a humorous contrast between Davie's admiration for Steve Jobs and Moni's ongoing obsession with his notoriously unhygienic reputation.Tap in and hang with the hosts for a fun FAB listen.

Although the worldwide Netflix phenomenon Stranger Things was released in 2016, the Internet is finally catching up a decade later in realizing that the show is both loosely and firmly based on both real historical programs and popular conspiracy theories. But Stranger Things is more than that; it incorporates cultural nostalgia, even of the negative kind, like the Satanic Panic, and puts historical Easter eggs in every season. From Project Rainbow to Astral Projection, and from MK Ultra to child abuse and Project Montauk, many of the themes present in the show are also anything but unique. They pull from myth, legend, and folklore, and in some ways touch on ritual magic and the dark arts. The synchronicities of the show are as powerful today as the archetypal characters of Star Wars were to the 1970s. In the upside down of all this, however, is a world of real science, including real DOE National Laboratories like the Idaho National Lab alongside the labs involved in the Manhattan Project. Tonight on Ground Zero, Ryan Gable fills in for Clyde Lewis and talks with synchrocity researcher, Derek Murphy about STRANGER THINGAMAJIGS. Listen at 7pm, pacific time on groundzeroplus.com.
