Rob St. Mary and Rob Spencer join Mike to dig into Proyas's tale of John Murdoch (Rufus Sewell), who wakes in a cheap hotel room with no memory, a dead body nearby, and a city that refuses to add up. Detective Bumstead (William Hurt) closes in while the pale, bald Strangers rearrange reality every time the clocks stop — building a world that is simultaneously a locked-room mystery, a Philip K. Dick nightmare, a Kafka story with a superhero ending, and a filmmaker's self-portrait: the Strangers as producers, Dr. Schreber (Kiefer Sutherland) as the compromised writer, and Murdoch as the protagonist who tears through the painted backdrop and seizes the apparatus.The conversation covers the film's screenplay stages and two finished cuts, the studio-mandated voice-over that Proyas spent a decade trying to undo, and Roger Ebert's role as the mechanism of the film's survival. Mike and the Robs also place Dark City within the remarkable 1998–99 cluster of simulated-world films — The Truman Show, The Matrix, eXistenZ, The Thirteenth Floor — and examine what it means that Murdoch's triumphant ending leaves the city still a construct, still running on hidden machinery, with only the god changed.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-projection-booth--5513239/support.Become a supporter of The Projection Booth at http://www.patreon.com/projectionbooth 

38 people listened to a podcast I stopped publishing 19 months ago. Yesterday. And over 200 people have pressed play on it in the last three months. I have not posted about it, promoted it, or thought about it since October of 2024, and the numbers from my analytics last week genuinely shocked me. If that is happening on a dormant podcast my friend, what do you think is happening on your active show's older episodes that you stopped looking at six months ago?This episode is for the podcaster who has a back catalog of episodes they forgot about months ago because they have been heads down on what comes next. I'm walking you through the four ways strangers are finding your older episodes right now, the two ways those episodes can be working for you, what I found when I audited the very first episode of my own podcast, and the exact move to make this week to find out what your back catalog is really doing in the background.In This Episode You'll Learn:The shocking number of listens a dormant podcast can still pull in (and what it actually proves about every active podcaster's back catalog)Why your podcast is one of the only marketing channels where a piece of content from two years ago competes for a listener's click at the same level as what you published this morningThe four ways strangers are finding your older podcast episodes right now whether you are paying attention to your back catalog or notThe two ways every single one of your old podcast episodes is working right now (and why there is no third option)What I found when I audited episode one of my own podcast (and why I was the most embarrassed person in the room about it)The exact analytics move to make this week before you touch a single episode in your back catalogWant to know exactly where your podcast is losing clients?

Two searches of the Mariposa arroyos west of Nogales, Sonora, have been conducted based on an anonymous tip to Buscando Corazones Nogales, a volunteer collective that searches for missing persons in cartel territory. Neither search located Nancy Guthrie. A third is reportedly being planned.The anonymous caller contacted the group on Mother's Day and reported that the eighty-four-year-old was buried near a stream in a specific area of the arroyos, approximately seventy miles south of her Catalina Foothills home. He described clothing and landmarks. Fifteen volunteers searched the coordinates on May 16th and found nothing. The caller subsequently provided revised directions. A second search on June 10th also produced no results.The caller bypassed over a million dollars in combined FBI and family reward money and directed the tip to a volunteer organization rather than a law enforcement agency or established tip line. The Pima County Sheriff's Department issued a statement acknowledging awareness of the tip but confirmed it has not been contacted by Mexican authorities. The FBI has not publicly commented.Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke examine the procedural and behavioral implications of how this information was routed — and the pattern it shares with prior unverified claims in this investigation, including ransom notes sent to media outlets and earlier reports of international leads that were never corroborated by investigating agencies.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A few months ago, I interviewed Brené Brown for TODAY.com, and one thing she said stuck with me: "Communication doesn't solve loneliness. Connection does." The very next day, I posted a simple question in a local moms Facebook group: Would anyone want to start a running group? What happened next surprised me. In this personal episode, I'm sharing how one small act of vulnerability led to new friendships, a stronger sense of community, and one of the best decisions I've made since becoming a parent.Apply to work with Natalie for 1-on-1 nutrition coaching! Have questions or want to request a show topic?

There's a growing backlash against the throwaway culture most of us grew up with. Enter the Repair Café movement. Strangers sit down together, pull out their broken stuff, and actually fix it. They bring in toasters, sweaters, lamps, and anything else you can imagine. What started small has turned into a global wave of people who refuse to replace what they can repair. / The Soapbox:"Photo-Perfect People"(14:18) On the show: Steve, Yushan & Yushun

In a world that constantly pressures us to blend in, God calls us to stand firm. Just like Daniel and the Hebrew boys in Babylon, we are called to live faithfully in our culture without bowing to its idols. Standing for Christ may lead us into the fire, but it also leads us into the presence of the One who walks through the fire with us. When we refuse to compromise and choose obedience over approval, we discover a freedom that the world can never offer. What area of your life is God calling you to stand up in today?

A bored New York commuter who passes the time on the A train by quietly sorting his fellow riders into types becomes fixated on one unremarkable man whose blank stillness never breaks — a man who takes the same seat in the same car to ride to the end of the line and right back again — until the need to know what he really is pulls the commuter off his own route and down into the tunnels after him.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/StrangersOnTheSubwayFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: "The Statues" — Forced to babysit his toddler cousin in his aunt's house full of religious statues, a teenager finds a black gargoyle crouched in the baby's room that his aunt swears she never owned — right before she starts screaming at him to get the child out. *** "The Strangers" — A bored subway commuter who passes the time sorting strangers into types becomes obsessed with one blank, silent man who rides to the end of the line and back for no reason — until learning what he really is pulls him down into the tunnels after him.CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = Show Open00:00:58.163 = The Statues00:14:23.981 = The Strangers (On The Subway) ***00:50:09.127 = Show Close*** = Begins immediately after inserted ad breakLISTEN ON PODCAST APPS: Look for this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Amazon Music, Pandora, TuneIn Radio, and other podcast apps.

Why We Push Love Away with Justin Patrick Pierce on Feelings With Strangers by Sacred

In Episode 227, Sarah talks with book industry analyst Brenna Connor about the behind-the-scenes world of book sales, bestseller lists, and publishing trends. Brenna shares insight into how sales data is gathered and used across the publishing industry, from tracking pre-orders and audiobooks to measuring the impact of celebrity book clubs and award recognition. They also discuss what makes a book commercially "successful," what current reading trends are revealing about 2026 so far, and what Brenna is watching for in the second half of the year. Plus, Brenna shares her own book recommendations. This post contains affiliate links through which I make a small commission when you make a purchase (at no cost to you!). CLICK HERE for the full episode Show Notes on the blog. Highlights Why tracking book sales is far more complicated than most readers realize — including what Circana can and can't actually measure. A behind-the-scenes look at bestseller lists and the role Circana data plays in lists like the New York Times, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly. The famously secretive methodology behind the New York Times Bestseller List. The impact celebrity book clubs and reading lists from Reese, Oprah, and Obama have on book sales. What current sales data is revealing about 2026 reading trends — and how the economy may be shaping book buying habits. Brenna shares the books she recommends — and the trends she's watching for the rest of the year.

Send us Fan MailWe've done the finance of Industry, the finance of Succession, the finance of Belle Burden's Strangers — but we've never done the finance of CREATORS. So when Spotify invited us to their Investor Day, we knew we had to sit down and ask the question every aspiring musician, podcaster, and Instagram creator is obsessing over: in a world where everyone wants to be a creator, how does anyone actually get paid?In this episode, we talk with Gustav Gyllenhammar, SVP of Markets and Subscriptions at Spotify, about the surprisingly complicated machinery behind every stream you play. Where does your $12.99 a month really go? How much does a million downloads of a song actually pay out? And how did a company born out of a piracy-ravaged Sweden convince an entire generation to start paying for something they'd grown up expecting for free? We get into the labels-versus-songwriters split, the rise of the independent artist, and the one number that explains why Spotify thinks it's playing a completely different game than the AI companies scraping the internet for content.Which brings us to the real tension underneath it all: as LLMs hoover up the work of writers, musicians, and creators everywhere, who's building a model to actually compensate them — and is Spotify offering a better blueprint? We dig into Spotify's philosophy on AI, why they waited so long to touch it on the music side, what "Time Well Spent" means when every other platform is optimizing for your attention, and whether the creators who power these platforms are about to get boxed out of their own economy. Plus: the new Universal Music partnership, the audiobook feature Jen has been praying for, and why a direct listing might be the most underrated way to go public.Shop our Self Paced Courses:Investment Banking & Private Equity Fundamentals HEREFixed Income Sales & Trading HERESubscribe to our Substack: https://substack.com/@thewallstreetskinny

I sit down with Stefanos Koutsoumpis, a men's coach based in Athens, Greece, who holds a PhD in physics and a hard-won understanding of what it actually means to feel happy. Not perform happiness — actually experience it. He walks me through how chronic overthinking was actually a symptom of emotional suppression, how he discovered mindfulness through Sam Harris and eventually trained with the Oxford Mindfulness Centre, and how he came to build a coaching practice specifically for men — a demographic he describes as often more willing to open up to a stranger at a bar than to the people closest to them. We go deep on men and community, why the "lone wolf" approach quietly destroys people, how hope has two components (belief and a path), and why experiential learning — getting in the fight, not studying it — is the only real way forward.

For seven months, the city of Two Rivers, Wisconsin searched for a three-year-old boy named Elijah Vue. The FBI came. The Wisconsin Department of Justice came. Hundreds of community volunteers showed up with flashlights and search dogs. They combed through landfills, dove into storm drains and the West Twin River, and searched private property across Manitowoc County. Volunteers even searched the Avery family salvage yard. A $40,000 reward was posted. Elijah's grandmother wept at a press conference and said, “Every day without him feels like a piece of our hearts is missing.”All of that was happening while the two people who allegedly knew the truth — Jesse Vang and Katrina Baur — sat in the Manitowoc County Jail. Vang had called 911 on February 20 and said the boy walked away during a nap. Within sixty seconds, Baur had messaged him telling him what to say. She deleted it. Investigators recovered it. Surveillance footage placed Vang driving a borrowed car around Two Rivers the night before the 911 call while his phone stayed home streaming Netflix. A suitcase he dropped at a donation center tested positive for Elijah's DNA.In September 2024, a hunter found Elijah's remains three miles from the apartment. The community held a birthday celebration for Elijah in August, not knowing he was already gone. Both Vang and Baur face felony charges. Both have pleaded not guilty. Tony Brueski sits down with a reporter who was on the ground through the entire search to talk about what the investigation looked like from Two Rivers — the evidence trail, the community effort, and the seven months between the 911 call and the discovery.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Weddings are already bleeding your wallet dry — and now someone thinks the solution is selling tickets to randos off the internet. Kim St. Onge is back and in rare form, breaking down the wildest new wedding trend nobody asked for: a website called Not A Wedding Crasher where couples sell empty seats to complete strangers just to recoup their losses. It sounds like a bad rom-com, but it's completely real — application process, social media screening, and all. Marc thinks it's the dumbest idea he's ever heard. Kim's not so sure. The debate gets heated, hilarious, and surprisingly relatable for anyone who's ever written a check for a wedding or shown up to one not knowing a soul. You'll be texting your spouse about this one before the segment is even over — don't miss it.

What do you do when you walk into a room and you know almost nobody? This week I visited TikTok HQ in London for an AI and content creation event and walked in knowing exactly one person. In today's episode of Inside Out Smile, I reflect on what happened next, and what it revealed about the nature of human connection, courage, and showing up before you feel ready. Because connection isn't a lottery. It isn't something that happens to you. It's something you participate in creating, and it starts long before you walk through the door. It starts on the inside. Every series of Britain's Got Talent reminds us that extraordinary people hide in the most unexpected places. The same is true of every room you walk into. You never know who is standing next to you holding a coffee, what they've overcome, what they're building, what they carry. That thought alone changed how I moved around that room. Whether you're someone who finds networking uncomfortable, who watches communities from the edges without quite stepping in, or who talks yourself out of events because you don't know enough people, this episode is for you. In this episode: The quiet courage it takes to walk into an unfamiliar room Why the most connected people in any room are rarely the most impressive What genuine curiosity does that performance never can How inner security creates outer connection Why you never know who you're going to meet, and why that should excite you With peace and love always, Amber xoxo

Before leaving for a three-week seminary intensive in Manila, Pastor Chris shared a vision for the summer centered on a powerful truth from Ephesians 2: Jesus takes people who should never belong together and makes them family.He began by observing that our world is deeply divided. People often build their identities around political, cultural, economic, or generational differences. Yet this struggle is not new. Paul addressed a similar reality in the first century through the division between Jews and Gentiles—two groups separated by generations of hostility, prejudice, and misunderstanding.Paul's answer to this division is the gospel. Before Christ, all people were spiritually homeless—separated from God, without hope, and searching for belonging. Pastor Chris emphasized that every person longs for a place where they are known, loved, and accepted. Apart from Christ, that longing can never be fully satisfied.The turning point comes with the words “But now.” Through Jesus, those who were far from God have been brought near. Christ is not only the giver of peace; He is our peace. Through His death on the cross, He destroyed the walls that separated people from God and from one another, creating one new family united in Him.The cross does more than forgive sins—it turns strangers into family.Paul describes believers as fellow citizens of God's kingdom, members of God's household, and ultimately a dwelling place for God's presence. The church is not simply a gathering people attend; it is the family God builds. While imperfect, it remains God's answer to loneliness, division, and isolation.Pastor Chris challenged the church to reject a casual view of community. Jesus loves His church, died for His church, and is building His church. Because the church is the Bride of Christ, believers cannot claim to love Jesus while remaining disconnected from His people.As the church enters the summer months, he encouraged everyone not to drift spiritually but to stay engaged in God's family. Some may need to come home to God, some need to reconnect with biblical community, and others need to actively help build the family through service, encouragement, and commitment.The sermon closed with a reminder that Jesus is still doing what He has always done: bringing broken people together, saving them by grace, and building them into a family where strangers become friends and friends become family. One day every earthly division will fade away, but the family of God will remain forever.

I ended up in Sri Lanka on a complete whim; heartbroken, halfway to India, not expecting anything. What I found stopped me in my tracks. Water temples that made me go quiet in the best way. Strangers who became kindred souls within hours. The island healed me in ways I'm still grateful for, and I' am so excited to be going back. In this episode I share that story: the messy, beautiful, unexpected truth of what happens when you show up somewhere broken and the place meets you exactly where you are. Then I share what grew out of it: the Play Retreat. A 7 day, 6 night inner child retreat in Sri Lanka this November, designed for the woman who's ready to feel lighter, freer, and more herself. We're talking a stunning private luxury villa in the lush hills of southern Sri Lanka, a private chef, daily yoga, surf lessons, a safari, tea plantation walks, jewellery making, inner child healing workshops  and the kind of women's connection that you genuinely don't find everywhere. This is for you if you've been holding it all together for a little too long. If you can't remember the last time you did something just because it felt good. If there's a version of you: lighter, more playful, more alive that's been quietly waiting for permission to come back out. She didn't go anywhere. Sri Lanka will help you find her. 8–14 November 2026 · From $2,800 AUD · Only 1 Room Remains → phidang.com/play-retreat Resources from today's episode Work with Phi Learn more about 1:1 Coaching with Phi here.

Summer is finally upon us and that means festival season is officially here. In today's episode, we meet a pair of women behind two of Ireland's most exciting festivals, Beyond the Pale and Kaleidoscope. Jenny Jennings and Fiona McGinn join Roisin Ingle to discuss the challenges facing the festival industry, what it takes to create such large-scale events and which acts are not to be missed in the line up. Later on Ingle is joined by Irish Times journalist and author Sally Hayden, who has just released her new book ‘This is also a Love Story'. The book is a reflection on how love can endure even in the most difficult of times and contains love stories from people Hayden has met while reporting in war zones and places ravaged by conflict and inequality. But first, Irish Times opinion editor Jennifer O'Connell is here to discuss some of the biggest stories of the week including a row over private care at the Rotunda hospital in Dublin and what can be learned from the recent controversy surrounding Belle Burden's memoir, Strangers. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Men's Alliance is hard to explain until you've been there.It's cold rain, gravel workouts, ridiculous call signs, guys puking during workouts, and fires that somehow stay lit in a downpour.

#231 - A passport full of stamps can look impressive, but what if the real point of travel is the people who crack you open and change how you see your life? I sat down with Melissa Rodway, author of *The People You Meet*, for an honest, funny, and surprisingly practical conversation about travel, connection, and what happens when we step outside our normal routines.We talk about the strangers you never forget, including the bold older travelers who prove adventure has no expiration date. Melissa shares why travel can make you feel lighter and more present, and how a single day can swing from pure gratitude to deep loneliness. We also dig into why certain places feel like home, why others do not, and how your body knows the difference even when you cannot explain it.Then we get real about travel ego and travel fatigue. If you have ever pushed a trip too far because you felt like you “should,” you will recognize the moment Melissa describes when travel starts feeling like work. We compare solo travel versus group travel, the hidden workload of constant decisions, safety concerns, and why active group trips with strangers can turn into a temporary family fast.If you love adventure travel, solo travel stories, and conversations about living with more intention, this one will stick with you.

Send us Fan MailNo one is talking about the insane thing that's happened to Big Law partner compensation over the past decade — and how it stacks up against Wall Street.In this deep dive we broke down EXACTLY what's going on. What started as an attempt to quantify how much Belle Burden's husband — from the cultural phenomenon Strangers — was actually earning during their marriage, after he left Davis Polk and landed at an equity long/short hedge fund, turned into a full-blown investigation: how Big Law and hedge funds really make money, what the compensation structures look like, and who actually comes out ahead.We were positive we knew the answer. We were wrong.Here's what we're not going to spoil — but here's what's on the table:One firm reportedly offered $80 million over three years to poach a single partner. That's not a typo. That's hedge fund money… for a lawyer.The top firms are clearing eight figures per partner — and we name them.The Financial Times has reported some hedge fund traders are being offered 9 figures comp packages but how does it vary roles by role, firm by firm and year by year,  We get into the lockstep model, the eat-what-you-kill brutality of the buy side, "two and twenty," and the math of who's really ahead at 25, at 35, at 45 — plus the quiet shift that flipped the entire game while almost nobody outside the industry was watching.

Kate Casey dives into Strangers: A Memoir of Marriage by Belle Burden. In March 2020, Burden was at her family's Martha's Vineyard home navigating the early days of the pandemic when her husband of twenty years announced, without warning, that he was leaving her. In the memoir, she revisits their marriage, searching for clues that her husband was not who she always thought he was, and reckons with her own family history and the expectations placed on women in the face of betrayal.

What is the relationship between thoughts and actions? In this sermon on Christians and how they are to live in the world, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones presents a reminder that doctrine and practice are always tied — doctrine especially plays a large influence over the other. What can one deduce from the doctrines that Paul has been presenting in this passage? First, Christians are children of the day. This is how they are to live in the world today— they are to remember where they were, but only by calling to remembrance where Christ has currently brought them. A major purpose of redemption was to deliver the Christian from slavery to sin. Thus, they are doing a great dishonor to the cross of Christ if they are still living in the sinful ways that characterized them before they were saved by Christ. Preaching from Romans 13:11–14 in a sermon titled “Strangers and Pilgrims (2),” Dr. Lloyd-Jones reminds the listener that if they start to compromise on their actions, they will also compromise their beliefs so that they line up with what they want to do. He warns that instead of getting as close to the line as possible, flee sin at all costs. Listen as Dr. Lloyd-Jones helps one think through what it means to be a Christian in today's world and how they can navigate it well.

This standalone tale intertwines BDSM elements with the intoxicating thrill of romance, crafted for those who crave a story rich in erotic drama and dark allure.

It can be easy to lose faith in oneself when feelings change quickly. In this sermon on Romans 13:11–14 titled “Strangers and Pilgrims (1),” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones reminds that regardless of feelings, one's position is sure if they are a follower of Jesus. Feelings come and go but thankfully they do not influence one's position or relationship with Jesus since it is centered in Him and His work, not theirs. Christians are charged throughout Scripture that they are to be different from the world because of the change they have undergone in Christ. As Dr. Lloyd-Jones says, Paul calls believers to walk as children of the day, yet he mentions that the day is still to come— how can it be both? As he explains, Christians are already in the day because they are believers. Even though it is in the future, Christians are there in spirit because they are followers of Christ. Paul's point is that their citizenship is in heaven and must act like it. Dr. Lloyd-Jones explains how the knowledge of one's conversion ought to drive their actions and how this concept of the “now and not-yet” applies to today.

Description:There are some books you read with your whole body. Strangers by Belle Burden is one of those books. Belle was married for twenty-one years. Three kids. A life that, from the outside, looked like everything you're supposed to want. Then on the seventh day of the pandemic lockdown, a stranger left her a voicemail — and by the next morning, the man she thought she knew was gone. Belle is a former Davis Polk attorney, a descendant of John Jay, and the granddaughter of legendary socialite Babe Paley. She was raised in a world where women simply did not speak publicly about their husbands' transgressions. So she broke the chain — first in a viral New York Times Modern Love essay, then in her New York Times bestselling memoir. And now she's here with Jen. This conversation is everything. The night it all fell apart — the dinner, the mopped floor, the voicemail, the packed bag by morning. The myths we hand women about divorce and who gets to carry the shame. The money piece that nobody wants to talk about but everybody needs to hear. And the strange, hard-won truth that the most devastating thing that ever happened to you might also be the thing that finally gives you back to yourself. Jen and Belle are in an accidental sisterhood — two women who wrote the book about the thing that broke them, because it turns out a million other women are walking around carrying the same broken thing in silence. This one is for every woman who has ever stood in a kitchen in her pajama pants and felt the floor shift beneath her feet. If you can't yet imagine what's waiting for you on the other side of the hardest thing, let Belle and Jen show you.
