The Authentic Edge: Human Creativity and the AI Frontier with Aaron RyanIn a recent episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur Podcast, host Josh Elledge sat down with Aaron Ryan, the prolific author of the Dissonance, Talisman, and The End Sagas, to explore the critical role of human nuance in a business landscape increasingly dominated by automated systems. Aaron, a multimedia entrepreneur who has published nearly 50 books across multiple genres and serves as a premium voice actor for brands like UnitedHealthCare, shares his perspective on why synthetic generation cannot replicate authentic human connection. This conversation offers a strategic framework for creative entrepreneurs, corporate content directors, and brand strategists who want to future-proof their operations by anchoring their messaging in true, un-copyable individuality.The Architecture of Authenticity: Leveraging Human Nuance Against Automated SprawlRelying entirely on generative artificial intelligence for brand messaging, audiobooks, or corporate content creates a dangerous commoditization trap where an organization's voice sounds exactly like its competitors. Aaron Ryan explains that while algorithms are trained to predict the most statistically probable next word or note based on historical data, they lack the capacity for spontaneous subtext, emotional timing, and authentic lived experience. In high-stakes B2B multimedia and commercial narration, professional voice talent brings subtle breathing patterns and precise inflections that build instant psychological safety and brand credibility with listeners. Furthermore, human creators possess the unique ability to process live, real-time direction during recording sessions—collaborating dynamically to pivot tone, pacing, and emphasis on the fly to meet strict corporate objectives that rigid algorithmic models simply cannot match.Escaping the operational burnout that plagues high-volume content producers requires a disciplined framework of "creative offloading" and systemic workflow diversification. Many founders and authors find themselves trapped by creative blocks because they attempt to pigeonhole their production into a single aesthetic or industry vertical. True scalability is unlocked when an enterprise treats creative diversity as an asset-backed portfolio, mapping out various concepts and capturing raw ideas in a central depository before they are lost to operational noise. By allowing workflows to remain fluid and moving across different formats or genres, corporate creators preserve their cognitive agility and significantly expand their market reach, establishing a natural hedge against shifting algorithmic trends or regional audience fluctuations.Sustaining a premium brand footprint over multiple decades demands that leadership treat technology as an automated assistant rather than an executive replacement. When a business chooses short-term cost cutting by deploying synthetic voices or generic copy for customer-facing touchpoints, it risks long-term talent attrition, lower customer engagement, and a severe erosion of trust. Aaron emphasizes that true longevity belongs to organizations that build strict boundaries around their intellectual property and aggressively cultivate their proprietary points of view. By dedicating strategic downtime to personal development and authentic life experiences, leaders ensure their operational capacity remains charged. The future of market authority does not belong to those who output the highest volume of automated noise, but to those who methodically protect the unique, irreplaceable human element behind their enterprise.About Aaron RyanAaron Ryan is a highly successful independent author, voice actor, and multimedia professional known for his sweeping speculative fiction, including the Dissonance, Talisman, and The End Sagas.

By treating advanced tech tools as administrative infrastructure while keeping human emotional intelligence at the center of execution, brands can build deep, lasting trust that commands premium market authority.More from The Thoughtful Entrepreneur

To welcome in the Seelie half of the year, behold! a surprise minisode. The original Dark Eras were accompanied by a fiction volume, Tales of the Dark Eras, featuring a number of short stories associated with the modules in the supplement. The entry "Of Ravens and Roses" is set in the 17th-century France of Lily, Sabre & Thorn, so it seemed fitting to include that in the mix. (If only it had been lily of the valley instead of roses, in celebration of the day...) Pooka reads the story in this episode—a fairly traditional Lost narrative, bedecked with the trappings and intrigues of Louis XIV's court. Here's hoping that you enjoy it!

Johnny Mac covers comedy industry news, focusing first on Nikki Glaser hosting the Time 100 event and questioning whether she bombed, noting the crowd wasn't mic'd well and suggesting a “cool Hollywood” room may have been reluctant to laugh; he plays a trimmed clip of her monologue, including jokes about publicists, the list, Victoria Beckham, and Gayle King/Katy Perry. He also shares awkward clips from Glaser on Kelly Ripa where her short skirt is mentioned and they discuss her Time cover. Deadline's ongoing reporting on Netflix Is a Joke frames the festival as “haves and have-nots,” citing many big names (Shane Gillis, Louis C.K., John Mulaney, Katt Williams, Nate Bargatze, Seinfeld/Leanne Morgan, Jim Gaffigan) with unsold tickets while smaller buzzy comics sell out smaller venues. Mac reviews Kevin Hart's “Funny AF” competition format and discusses “Emperor of Rome syndrome,” then briefly praises Ramy Youssef's special and quotes Ramy and David Cross on crafting sets and not catering to algorithms. Gossip items include a Giants manager attending Dave Chappelle at The Punchline and Chappelle commissioning a beeswax sculpture, plus Patton Oswalt voicing Stephen King's upcoming Talisman-trilogy audiobook.00:23 Nikki Glaser Bombing01:05 Time 100 Monologue03:40 Kelly Ripa Awkwardness05:25 Netflix Is a Joke Sales06:56 Kevin Hart Competition08:47 Ramy Youssef Special10:00 David Cross Approach10:54 Gossip Corner Chappelle12:16 Chappelle Art Find12:40 Patton Oswalt Audiobook13:08 Wrap Up TomorrowBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/daily-comedy-news-with-johnny-mac-a-daily-briefing-on-comedians-and-the-comedy-industry--4522158/support.Daily Comedy News is the number one comedy news podcast, delivering daily coverage of standup comedy, late night television, comedy specials, tours, and the business of comedy.COMEDY SURVIVOR in the facebook group.Contact John at John@thesharkdeck dot com For Uninterrupted Listening, use the Apple Podcast App and click the banner that says Uninterrupted Listening.  $4.99/month John's Substack about media is free.This is the animal sanctuary mentioned in the February 10 episode.

In this episode, we chat with Tim McCutcheon, CEO of Talisman Metals, to talk about building a copper exploration company from the ground up. We start with Tim's career and how it's shaped his approach at Talisman, before diving into early field results from Fougnar, what they're seeing on the ground, and how it compares to known systems like Tizert. We also explore how he evaluates projects, allocates capital in the early stages, and builds teams to maximise discovery success. Finally, we'll zoom out to discuss sediment-hosted copper, Morocco's growing role in critical minerals, and how to create value across a portfolio without losing focus.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Talisman Metals chose its project in Morocco because the copper mineralization outcrops at the surface, which eliminates the initial high-cost risks typically associated with finding a deposit. The project is located in the same sedimentary basin and just 25 kilometres away from the successful Tizert deposit, allowing the company to use similar geological models and local infrastructure. While the goal is to develop a standalone mine producing 20,000 to 30,000 tons of copper annually, the proximity to the major player Managem provides a natural "downside protection" through potential consolidation. Success in junior mining relies on a strict, step-by-step pyramid of risk removal, starting with low-cost mapping and geophysics before moving into expensive diamond drilling and feasibility studies. BEST MOMENTS "I got tired of basically commenting on what other people were doing—particularly in watching people make mistakes and seeing train wrecks way ahead of time." "The most important characteristic at this stage of exploration is enthusiasm. You can't be an entrepreneur and be pessimistic; it just doesn't work." "If the orientation of a sedimentary deposit is such that it's amenable to mining, you know exactly what you're pulling out of the ground... there's really no ambiguity between the two."

Then, pastry chef Tanya Bush once looked to the kitchen during a difficult moment. She spoke with NPR's Scott Detrow about Will This Make You Happy, a cookbook and memoir about her year of self-discovery and imperfect baking.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedaySee pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

Time to whet our appetites for the Dark Tower again – this time with an extra serving of ass cheek! After three months away, we're picking up with travellin' Jack Sawyer after we left him in The Talisman. We find him in a sleepy Wisconsin town, where the dimension-hopping, child-eating Fisherman is plying his awful trade.   Yep… it's time for Black House. The book in which King's universes collide.   Nat, Chris and I argue – about where we see the spirit of King and Peter Straub in this story, about the believability of characters and the RIGHT amount to mourn a fallen hero. But we also agree about the beauty of theprose, the sublime depiction of the deepest horrors, and the sheer joy of one of the Dark Tower's nastiest villains.   It's as much fun as you can have with a book about so many dead kids.   Support Talking Scared on Patreon   Check out the Talking Scared Merch line – at VoidMerch   Come talk books on Bluesky @talkscaredpod.bsky.social on Instagram/Threads, or email direct to talkingscaredpod@gmail.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Fluent Fiction - Hindi: Chandni Chowk's Colorful Mystery: The Talisman Unveiled Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hi/episode/2026-03-21-22-34-02-hi Story Transcript:Hi: हल्की फूलों की महक और रंगों की बौछारों के बीच, चांदनी चौक एक दूसरे ही संसार में तब्दील हो चुका था।En: Amid the light fragrance of flowers and showers of colors, Chandni Chowk had transformed into an entirely different world.Hi: यह होली का समय था, और बाजार के हर गली-चौराहे पर रंग, हंसी और चहकती भीड़ थी।En: It was the time of Holi, and every street and corner of the market was filled with colors, laughter, and a bustling crowd.Hi: उसी भीड़ के बीच, एक सजीव मसला इधर-उधर उलझ रहा था - सदियों पुरानी एक ताबीज का गायब होना।En: Among this crowd, a lively issue was getting tangled here and there - the disappearance of an ancient talisman.Hi: इसका रहस्य हल करने की जिद में थे दो लोग: अर्जुन और प्रिया।En: Determined to unravel the mystery were two people: Arjun and Priya.Hi: अर्जुन एक पत्रकार था, जिसका मन कभी शांत नहीं बैठता था, हर बात का सच जानना उसका पहला शौक था।En: Arjun was a journalist who could never sit still; finding the truth behind every matter was his foremost passion.Hi: दूसरी ओर, प्रिया एक इतिहासकार थी, अपने परिवार की विरासत को बचाने के लिए कटिबद्ध।En: On the other hand, Priya was a historian committed to preserving her family's legacy.Hi: रंगों के उत्सव में खोए चांदनी चौक की तंग गलियों में, अर्जुन और प्रिया अकस्मात टकरा गए।En: In the narrow lanes of Chandni Chowk immersed in the festival of colors, Arjun and Priya bumped into each other unexpectedly.Hi: दोनों को पता था कि उन पर नजर रखी जा रही थी।En: They both knew they were being watched.Hi: एक प्रतिद्वंद्वी पत्रकार भी इस मसले का हिस्सा था।En: A rival journalist was also involved in this issue.Hi: हालांकि शुरुआत में दोनों के बीच अविश्वास था, लेकिन समय की जरूरत ने उन्हें एक-दूसरे का सहारा लेने पर मजबूर कर दिया।En: Initially, there was distrust between them, but the urgency of the situation forced them to rely on each other.Hi: एक साथ, उन्होंने मुद्राओं को फिर से उलटा और लोगों से पूछताछ की।En: Together, they retraced steps and questioned people.Hi: चर्चा हुई, लोग बातें छुपाते नजर आए, जैसे कि वह ताबीज किसी पुराने रिवाज़ से जुड़ा हो।En: Conversations occurred, and people seemed to be hiding truths, as if the talisman was linked to an old tradition.Hi: तभी उनके कान में कुछ बातें पड़ीं – एक फेरीवाला इस ताबीज को ले गया था, एक परंपरा के तहत ताकि होली के दौरान इसकी रक्षा हो सके।En: Then they overheard something – a street vendor had taken the talisman as part of a tradition, to safeguard it during Holi.Hi: प्रिया की आंखों में आत्मविश्वास झलकने लगा।En: Confidence sparkled in Priya's eyes.Hi: अर्जुन इसकी कहानी को लेकर उत्साहित था।En: Arjun was excited about the story.Hi: दोनों ने उस फेरीवाले को खोज निकाला और पाया कि ताबीज सही सलामत थी।En: They found the street vendor and discovered the talisman was safe and sound.Hi: यह होली की चहल-पहल में सुरक्षित था।En: It was protected amid the Holi celebrations.Hi: अर्जुन ने प्रिया के साथ मिलकर एक लेख लिखा।En: Together, Arjun and Priya wrote an article.Hi: दोनों ने यह तय किया कि इस कहानी से परंपरा और सत्य का सुंदर वर्णन होगा।En: They decided that this story would beautifully depict tradition and truth.Hi: अब अर्जुन को मालूम था कि सही कहानी कहने के लिए सहयोग और सांस्कृतिक सम्वेदनशीलता कितनी आवश्यक है।En: Now Arjun understood how essential collaboration and cultural sensitivity were to tell the right story.Hi: प्रिया भी अपने विचारों को व्यक्त करते समय अधिक आत्मविश्वासी हो गई।En: Priya also became more confident in expressing her thoughts.Hi: इस तरह, होली का यह दिन उन्हें एक अनमोल सीख देकर चला गया।En: Thus, this day of Holi left them with a priceless lesson.Hi: चांदनी चौक की तंग गलियों में मुस्कुराहट फिर खिल उठी थी, और रंगीन धुंध में उनकी मेहनत की खुशबू घुल गई थी।En: The narrow lanes of Chandni Chowk were once again lit with smiles, and the fragrance of their hard work mingled with the colorful haze.

This week on Richardson's Rubicon, I'm joined by author Mike Oppenheim to talk worldbuilding through pressure and consequence, using his novel The Curse of Cortez as the case study.We dig into a deceptively simple engine: a cursed talisman with strict rules, awkward limitations, and social fallout. Mike breaks down how those constraints create tension, force character choices, and escalate the story without dumping exposition on the reader. We also get into trust and human behaviour: what happens when an object protects you, but quietly pushes you to hide, doubt, and fracture relationships.If you're trying to reveal worldbuilding organically, sharpen your rule-systems, or make pacing come from character decisions rather than “stuff happening,” this one's for you.More links and resources are in the show notes.https://richardsonsrubicon.com/worldbuilding-talisman-rules-and-trust-mike-oppenheim-the-curse-of-cortez/#WorldBuilding #SpeculativeFiction #PodcastInterview #WritingTips #AmWritingFantasy #AmWritingSciFi

This week on Radio Labyrinth, we welcome author Scott A. Young to discuss Fabricants, the explosive second installment in The Manifold Series — and the audiobook is narrated by our own Tim Andrews.After awakening from stasis on a galaxy-crossing colony mission, commanders Trapp and Bretta discover something terrifying: hundreds of Fabricants — the colony's synthetic workforce — have been neatly disassembled into lifeless piles. The survivors? Violent. Unstable. Rogue.Tim also shares what it's like narrating high-stakes sci-fi — finding the voice of commanders, synthetic beings, and galaxy-spanning tension inside a recording booth.Then we expand the conversation into the larger audiobook boom — sparked by recent buzz around Stephen King's upcoming Talisman trilogy finale — and why more readers are choosing to listen instead of read.If you're into The Expanse, Blake Crouch-style paranoia, or smart sci-fi that asks whether humanity is destined to be destroyed by its own creations — this episode is for you.

Episode 97 - Murdock and Marvel: 2023 The pandemic book that brought comics to their highest sales figures ever finally ended, and sales dropped about 7% from 2022's all-time high. Even so, both sales and quality made this another fantastic year for American comics.  The movies…well that is something else… Preshow Talk Alec Seguera's Enemy of My Enemy: https://www.publishersweekly.com/9781368095365 Comic Book Yeti: https://www.comicbookyeti.com/ The Year in Comics  Comics in Other Media Comic Sales Notable Comics Top Comic News Notable Passings Marvel Eisner Awards Dan's Favorite The Year in Daredevil  Appearances: Daredevil v7 #5-14, Daredevil & Echo (#1-4), Daredevil Omnibus #2, Daredevil v8 #1-2, Daredevil Epic Collection #6 and #17, Thor Epic Collection #9, Captain America Epic Collection #5, Defenders Omnibus #2, Moon Knight Epic Collection #7, Iron Man Epic Collection #6, Amazing Spider-Man Epic Collection #27, Marvel Masterworks: Daredevil #18 and Devil's Reign Omnibus  Writer: Chip Zdarsky (#5-14), Saladin Ahmed (v8 #1-2)  Pencils: Marco Checchetto (#5, #8, #10, #12-14) Rafael De LaTorre (#6, #11) Checchetto and De Latorre (#7), Manuel Garcia (#9), Aaron Kuder (v8 #1-2)  Inks: Rafael De LaTorre (#5-6, #11), Elisabetta D'Amico (#7), Marco Checchetto (#8, #10, #12-14), Manuel Garcia (#9), Aaron Kuder (v8 #1-2)  Quick refresher from last week's 2022 Daredevil talk: We left off with The Red Fist Saga kicking into gear—Matt confronting Butch, revealing his identity to Spider-Man, and realizing the Hand is now being steered by bigger, scarier forces tied to the Stromwyns and the Punisher, making it clear Hell's Kitchen isn't the endgame anymore.  Where it landed: Matt pulls Foggy and Cole North out of New York, links up with Elektra and Stick, and by the end of issue #4 the ritual is complete—Matt and Elektra are declared King and Queen of the reborn Fist (and man and wife), officially stepping into a global war that takes Daredevil far beyond the streets we're used to.  As 2023 kicks off we learn - A reborn Fist with real stakes. The resurrection ritual doesn't just crown Daredevil and Elektra as King and Queen—it supercharges everyone, including Foggy and Cole North, and the Book of the Fist literally rewrites itself to guide them. Its warning is chilling: the Hand is using the Lunate Talisman to replace world leaders with undead puppets, quietly steering global power while no one notices.  Recruiting monsters to stop monsters. Daredevil leads a breakout at the Myrmidon, offering prisoners a chance to fight for something bigger. Speed Demon, Stilt-Man, Agony, Stegron, and others join up. During the escape, Matt easily takes down U.S. Agent and is shaken to find Robert Goldman imprisoned there, clearly still part of a larger “plan.” In the aftermath, Iron Man and Captain America watch the footage and agree on one thing—Daredevil has crossed a line and needs to be brought in.   Elektra lights the fuse. While Doc Sasquatch tries to hold this unstable team together through therapy, Elektra infiltrates the White House, confirms the President is a Hand construct, and throws him out a window—on camera. It's a tactical win and a PR nightmare, pushing the Avengers closer and painting the Fist as terrorists instead of saviors.  Doing good the hard way. Matt insists the Fist prove they're different, leading a mission to North Carolina where they stop illegal evictions, defuse coordinated bombings, and protect a falling child—caught midair by Stilt-Man. Afterwards, Bullet leaves to find his son Lance, and we learn he's unknowingly walking straight into the Hand's trap.  The war with the Hand. Knowing it's a setup but knowing they need to save Lance, Daredevil still attacks when the Book warns that the Punisher—who's leading the Hand—is killing again. The battle is massive and brutal: Daredevil and Elektra vs. the Punisher, Stick vs. Aka, Cole North vs. a Hand-controlled Bullet, and the rest of the Fist fighting dragons and assassins. They lose ground, barely escape, but Elektra steals the Lunate Talisman—proof the Hand can be beaten.  Everything falls apart. The Avengers close in, the Stromwyns escalate, and Re-Cid gas bombs rain down on the Fist's base. Elektra destroys the Talisman, which reveals the truth _ Stick and Foggy were resurrected by the Hand—then disintegrate. The cost to beat the Hand is devastating as the Avengers arrive to arrest most of the team.  God's plan goes loud. Daredevil manages to escape along with Robert Goldman, who unleashing an avalanche that forces the Avengers to retreat while nearly everyone else is captured. Weeks later, Cole North snaps Matt out of his spiral—telling him to put the suit back on, go fix it. Matt confronts the Stromwyns and trades himself for Elektra's freedom, proving his loyalty by plunging blades into his own eyes.  Death, rebirth, and the real enemy. Believing sacrifice is the only answer, Matt travels to Japan to die at the Beast's gate and rescue the trapped souls—Foggy included. Elektra tries to stop him; he dies anyway, is reborn in white, and learns he's been manipulated by the Wild, sister to the Beast. In the collapsing afterlife, Matt rejects comforting illusions, frees Foggy and the others through love and willpower, and stays behind—armless but defiant—to face the Beast alone.  The final book of volume 7 and the Red Fist Saga was an epilogue to this story and seemly sets us up for volume 8. This seemed like a good book for this week's spotlight story.  We did get the first 2 books of volume 8 at the end of this year with a new creative team but we are going to save those and talk about them when we look at 2024.  This Week's Spotlight: Daredevil Volume 7 issue #14 from October 2023 “The Red Fist Saga Part 14”  Recap Why We Picked This Story Daredevil Rapid Fire Questions The Takeaway No takeaway - too recent Questions or comments We'd love to hear from you!  Email us at questions@comicsovertime.com or find us on Twitter @comicsoftime. ------------------ THANKS TO THE FOLLOWING CREATORS AND RESOURCES  Music: Our theme music is by the very talented Lesfm.  You can find more about them and their music at https://pixabay.com/users/lesfm-22579021/.  The Grand Comics Database: Dan uses custom queries against a downloadable copy of the GCD to construct his publisher, title and creator charts.  Comichron: Our source for comic book sales data.  Marvel Year By Year: A Visual History  DC Comics Year By Year: A Visual Chronicle  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_films_based_on_English-language_comics  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Marvel_Comics_superhero_debuts  https://comicbookreadingorders.com/marvel/event-timeline/  https://www.comic-con.org/awards/eisner-awards/past-recipients/past-recipients-1990s/

Click here to send me a quick message :) I read a post this morning from someone in Slovenia who said we are "underreacting" here in the United States. In some cases, this may be true. But I also see a lot of people highly reacting to the immense onslaught of too much-ness that we're navigating right now.And in that reacting, it could be actively doing things, but it may also look like reactively numbing or shutting down completely.Because let's be honest, too much-ness is often... overwhelming.  Maybe we're not underreacting, maybe we're overwhelmed. And if so, that makes a LOT of sense.Can we normalize not feeling regulated right now? Like, how can we expect ourselves to be okay, really?But -- simultaneously, somehow, miraculously, nature continues. The sun shines, the moon returns. The earth is always here for us.That said, overwhelm is real, and exploring tools to help us understand our own personal relationship to it is what this week's guest, Sherene Cauley, brings.She researched overwhelm, and then created this beautiful image that she calls the Talisman against overwhelm.Such a creative way to bring interactive practice that encourages self-reflection into our daily lives.If you're in the murky muck right now and want to explore a creative path to deeper self-awareness and navigating overwhelm, this conversation is perfect for you.Resources:Grab a spot on the Natural Contraception waitlist (opens feb 8th 2026)Today's shownotes: Check out the Talisman of Overwhelm image + Sherene's links Episode 197: Somatic practices for healing childhood wounds using IFS with Kristen StakeEpisode 209: Sacred Rage with Andrea Thompson Episode 210: How to build capacity and resilienceIf you loved this episode, share it with a friend, or take a screenshot and share on social media and tag me @herbalwombwisdomAnd if you love this podcast, leave a rating & write a review!

After our loose, freeform chat about the high strangeness of The Talisman, Nat stuck around to Palaver a little more behind Chris' innocent back.   In this spoiler-filled 35 minutes (do not listen if you haven't finished The Dark Tower) we get into some firmer connections between King's magical worlds, we look at the order of books to come, weigh our saddest deaths in King stories…and even after all these hours we're forced to ask, “what the f*ck is the Talisman anyway?   Enjoy.   Support Talking Scared on Patreon   Check out the Talking Scared Merch line – at VoidMerch   Come talk books on Bluesky @talkscaredpod.bsky.social on Instagram/Threads, or email direct to talkingscaredpod@gmail.com Learn more about your ad choices.

We're on the road again with our Dark Tower journey, running through adjacent worlds, lighting out for the Territories.   Our latest side-quest takes us to The Talisman, the 1984 epic dark fantasy, co-authored by Stephen King and Peter Straub. It's a wild, hallucinatory ride, that contains my favourite King character of them all!   Nat, Chris and I talk about that dude, as well as discussing where Jack Sawyer ranks in the league table of King's childhood heroes. But mostly we try to pin down the connections between this mad story, and Roland's great quest.   Do we succeed? Do we just make up all manner of wishful thinking nonsense?

You can use astrology for magical purposes....yes, SPELLWORK! With Jupiter in Cancer, I thought there was no better time than to bring up the topic of astrological magic. Because if you're going to start invoking the planets to help you in life: the time is now in 2026. After chatting with expert magical talisman creator, Christopher Warnock on Cosmic Compass, I'm now sharing in a solo podcast chat my personal experience using astrological magic. In this solo podcast chat, I talk about the first three magical talismans I got myself: first, a Mercury talisman, then Jupiter and finally the Sun. I share why I picked them out, in that order, what I use them for and how I invoke the planets to connect and support me in daily life. I also share the results and external/internal shifts I've experienced since starting to use them in 2025. In another future episode, I'll be sharing how I use planetary magic and my black agate Algol talisman for protection and blocking negative energies in my life and business - because if you're going to be massively seen, watched and well-known in your industry, you need to protect yourself. The results have been incredible.  2026 is the year you take your power back. Click here to reconnect with your inner magic  for your best year yet.

This week kicks off with an engaging conversation between Joe and Cody, where Joe shares his thoughts and feelings about the much-anticipated ending of season one of "Welcome to Derry." He expresses how the finale not only met but exceeded his expectations, highlighting the intricate storytelling and character development that kept him on the edge of his seat. Joe delves into specific scenes that resonated with him, discussing the emotional weight they carried and how they set the stage for potential future developments in the series. As their discussion progresses, the guys shift gears to talk about the exciting array of trailers that have been released over the past week, generating buzz among fans and critics alike. First on their list is the newest teaser for "Avengers Doomsday," a film that promises to bring a fresh perspective to the beloved franchise. Joe and Cody speculate about the possible plotlines and character arcs that could unfold in this upcoming installment, particularly in relation to the overarching narrative that leads into the future sequel, "Avengers: Secret Wars." They ponder the implications of multiversal elements and the potential for unexpected character returns, reflecting on how these developments could reshape the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Next, the conversation takes a turn towards Christopher Nolan's latest project, "The Odyssey." Joe expresses his excitement about Nolan's unique storytelling style and how it often intertwines complex narratives with stunning visuals. They discuss the themes that are likely to be explored in the film, including the nature of heroism and the human condition, and how Nolan's previous works have set high expectations for this new endeavor. Finally, the discussion shifts to some surprising industry news regarding "The Talisman," a highly anticipated adaptation that fans have been eagerly awaiting. Joe and Cody share their thoughts on the recent announcement that The Duffer Brothers, known for their successful work on "Stranger Things," are no longer attached to the project. They analyze the potential impact of this change on the adaptation's direction and quality, considering the Duffer Brothers' unique storytelling approach and how their absence might influence the film's development. The guys reflect on the challenges of adapting such a beloved novel and what this news could mean for fans who have been looking forward to seeing the story come to life on screen.Official Website: https://www.comesnaturallypodcast.comOfficial Merchandise: https://shop.spreadshirt.com/comes-naturally-podcast/iTunes: http://tinyurl.com/kqkgackFacebook: http://tinyurl.com/myovgm8Tumblr: http://tinyurl.com/m7a6mg9Twitter: @ComesNaturalPodYouTube: http://tiny.cc/5snxpy

For this episode, Gary chats with the very busy and very talented Nnedi Okorafor, who has had quite a year with the publication of major new novel Death of the Author; One Way Witch, the second novella in her She Who Knows trilogy; Space Cat, a children's book starring her own cat Periwinkle; and The Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy 2025, which she co-edited with John Joseph Adams. We chat about what she's been reading, her fondness for Stephen King and Peter Straub's The Talisman, and what's up for next year, including the final volume of that trilogy, set in the world of her World Fantasy winning Who Fears Death.

Book editor Michael Szczerban joins us in the studio to talk about The Talisman of Happiness, a book he worked over a decade to have translated from Italian into English. As we find out, it's an iconic (and quite unwieldy—1,680 recipes!) text that its author, Ada Boni, originally published in 1929. The book's influence cannot be overstated, and for first-time readers, it gives insight into the foundational Italian cooking that we still see today. Michael shares how he was introduced to the book by Samin Nosrat while editing Salt Fat Acid Heat, which sent him down many dead-end roads toward acquiring it for publication in English. This is a wonderful conversation for Italian food nerds like us. Read: The Book That Taught Nonna to Cook Is Coming to America [NYT] Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
