We're joined by Robbie Mcilwraith and Erik Ellison, two co-founders of the new Inverness Thistle, the first club to compete in Scotland's professional pyramid since they merged with Caledonian to form Inverness CT in 1994.Many people aren't aware of the deep opposition and hurt football supporters in Inverness felt when it was proposed that the cities two biggest clubs, Thistle and Caledonian, should merge to join the Scottish Football League. Sadly, the decision was pushed through and fans were left without clubs to support, refusing to follow the newly created club in Inverness.But now, one of those clubs have returned.About UsWebsitefootballheritage.co.ukEmailhello@footballheritage.co.ukX@_footyheritageBlueSky@footballheritage.bsky.socialInstagram@_footyheritageYouTube@FootballHeritageFHAbout Our GuestsInverness Thistle FC@InvThistleFC
In this Bible Story, we learn about the rule of Amaziah. He defeats a great threat, but grows arrogant and pompous. The Lord humbles Amaziah in the battle against Israel, and dies in exile. This story is inspired by 2 Chronicles 25 & 2 Kings 14:1-22. Go to BibleinaYear.com and learn the Bible in a Year.Today's Bible verse is 2 Chronicles 25:18 from the King James Version.Episode 145: The people of God needed a strong, courageous, godly King, and Uzziah provided that hope for the people. The young man was sixteen when he sat on the throne, and he sought God for wisdom just like Solomon did. He leaned on this wisdom of his elders and held the word of the prophet close. He sought God, fought battles against the Philistines, and gained the respect of the nations around him. However, as the stories about him grew, so did his ego. And in his arrogance, he walked into the temple of God without a priest and began to burn incense, as if he were a priest, beginning his downfall.Hear the Bible come to life as Pastor Jack Graham leads you through the official BibleinaYear.com podcast.

July 3rd, 2025 MADISON -- First up, be greeted by WLRN's founder, Thistle Pettersen before she hands the baton to WLRN's newest member, Ms. Cat Bradfield, who delivers the world news segment. After enjoying Tracy Chapman's song "The Promise", hear Arianne of LGB Alliance USA speak with Thistle about Pride 2025 just before Arianne hopped into the woods for a RadFem summer camp in the Pacific Northwest this June and July. Then, hear a rendition of aurora linnea's first piece she turned in to WLRN in 2021 that April Neault loved so much, she made into this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZiJGYYpXhWo After the reading of aurora's essay entitled "Pride: Corporate Patriarchy's Celebration in the Streets", we end our show by thanking our guest, Arianne of LGB Alliance USA, and signing off. This month's artwork is by WLRN's graphic designer and artist, Margaret Moss. Edition 111 Artist's Statement : "I started the featured image with an oil sketch Berthe Morisot created in 1885. The drawing/painting she made is a self-portrait that includes a portrait of her daughter. All loosely rendered. I kept the background of Berthe Morisot's oil sketch, and I digitally sketched an image of our guest Arianne of LGB Alliance USA, and Tracy Chapman, whose song, ‘The Promise' is included in this month's podcast. I included purple and green because I especially like those colors - and I appreciate that they have a connection to (British) suffragists. I enjoyed interacting with Berthe Morisot's artwork. Even though she created her painting in 1885, it has a modern feel. I expect that Morisot had a greater influence on Modern Art than she is given credit for. I appreciate women such as Berthe Morisot, all the suffragists, Arianne, and Tracy Chapman for their contributions to our culture. And I appreciate WLRN for lifting up women so their voices can be heard more widely."

Thistle & Nest, an affordable housing provider in Bend, says the city’s new tree code isn’t flexible enough and is raising the cost of building new housing in Central Oregon. At one of the affordable housing developments Thistle & Nest is currently building, the code will mean fewer homes get built, according to the organization, which is refusing to submit a tree preservation plan for the site. That challenge is currently being reviewed by a hearings officer and could be appealed to the Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals. Amy Warren, board president and co-founder of Thistle & Nest, joins us to explain why the nonprofit has decided to challenge the tree code.

Le chardon est l'un des symboles les plus anciens et emblématiques de l'Écosse. On le retrouve sur les pièces de monnaie, les insignes militaires, les passeports britanniques (pour la partie écossaise), et même dans les armoiries royales. Mais pourquoi une plante épineuse, sauvage et modeste est-elle devenue le symbole d'un peuple aussi fier que les Écossais ? Pour le comprendre, il faut plonger dans l'histoire, la légende et la symbolique.Une légende tenaceL'origine la plus fréquemment évoquée est une légende médiévale qui aurait eu lieu au XIIIe siècle, lors des invasions vikings. Selon cette histoire, un groupe de soldats nordiques tenta une attaque nocturne sur un camp écossais, afin de profiter de l'effet de surprise. Pour se faire discrets, les envahisseurs ôtèrent leurs chaussures. Malheureusement pour eux, l'un des hommes marcha sur un chardon et poussa un cri de douleur, alertant les Écossais endormis. Grâce à cela, les défenseurs purent repousser l'attaque. En signe de gratitude, le chardon fut adopté comme emblème national.Bien qu'aucune preuve historique ne confirme cette version, elle illustre parfaitement les qualités que les Écossais aiment s'attribuer : vigilance, courage, et capacité à se défendre farouchement, même avec des moyens simples.Un symbole de résistanceAu-delà de la légende, le choix du chardon comme symbole est profondément symbolique. Cette plante, courante dans les landes écossaises, pousse dans des conditions difficiles, sur des sols pauvres et exposés. Elle incarne la résilience et la fierté d'un peuple qui a su résister à de nombreuses tentatives de domination : par les Anglais, les Vikings, ou encore les Romains.Ses épines sont également une métaphore de l'hostilité envers l'envahisseur : beau de loin, mais dangereux de près. Le message est clair : « Ne me touche pas sans en payer le prix ».Une reconnaissance officielleLe chardon apparaît pour la première fois comme symbole royal écossais sous le règne du roi Jacques III, au XVe siècle. Il orne alors certaines pièces de monnaie. Mais c'est au XVIe siècle que le symbole gagne en prestige, avec la création, en 1540, de l'Ordre du Chardon (Order of the Thistle), une distinction honorifique écossaise toujours active aujourd'hui. Cet ordre, l'un des plus anciens et prestigieux du Royaume-Uni, souligne l'importance du chardon dans l'identité nationale écossaise.En résuméLe chardon est bien plus qu'une plante : il est le symbole vivant de l'âme écossaise, à la fois robuste, fier et indomptable. Son adoption comme emblème repose à la fois sur une légende populaire, une forte symbolique de défense et une reconnaissance royale ancienne. Une plante modeste, certes, mais au cœur de l'identité d'un peuple. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

Join Kosta and his guest: Diana Mandli, scholar, entrepreneur, founder and former owner of the Bull and Thistle Gastropub. In this episode: Last week we talked with our friend Mark Dudney about the history of Jackson County and what brought us here today. Gainesboro is having a renaissance and it's impossible to talk about the future of Jackson County without the woman that helped start it all. When you opened the Bull and Thistle in 2013 did you have any idea this would create a chain reaction that would bring Gainesboro back to life? Like the rest of the Upper Cumberland, you have growing pains. More business. More restaurants. More people. More opportunities. More questions. For anyone that's asking - what's going on in Jackson County? What do you say? Change is scary. I know that's the understatement of the year, but it rings through this entire conversation and Jackson County. Change is scary. How do we see the entire Upper Cumberland through the change and decisions we have to make right now?

Before you dive into your Spring planting preparations, tune in as Varla shares excerpts from her latest book, Enchanted Plants: A Treasury of Botanical Folklore & Magic.

As a lover of all things strange, Varla's interests extend into the weirdness and magic of the plant kingdom. With a deep fascination for folklore and medicinal plants, she has been studying herbalism and botany for more than thirty years.

Welcome to the 108th edition of WLRN's monthly podcast! First up, hear aurora greet the listener before handing the mic to Mary O'Neill who delivers WLRN's world news featuring stories from Louisiana, Russia and Iran. After the world news, stay tuned for the song "Mother Rage" by Kathy Fire, an anarchist feminist songwriter who released this gem in 1978. Next, hear the interview Thistle did with Lierre Keith about the significance of the re-release of Andrea Dworkin's Right Wing Women by Picador in February of 2025. Lierre Keith (www.lierrekeith.com) is a writer, small farmer, and radical feminist activist. She is the author of six books including, The Vegetarian Myth: Food, Justice, and Sustainability, which has been called “the most important ecological book of this generation.” She is also coauthor, with Derrick Jensen and Aric McBay, of Deep Green Resistance: Strategy to Save the Planet. She's been arrested six times for acts of political resistance. Finally, stay tuned 'til the very end for commentary from WLRN member aurora linnea in which she aptly compares Trump to Ronald Reagan and ties it all together for us regarding the force of right wing politics in the United States. She also, however, rightly points out, as did Ms. Dworkin, the misogyny and cruelty toward women on the left, and how women don't have a viable option for dignity and respect in general in American life. Thanks for tuning in to another WLRN monthly handcrafted podcast. We would love to hear from you so please listen, like, comment and share widely! #WLRN #AndreaDworkin #RightWingWomen #LierreKeith #auroralinnea
Hey Friends! This week we're talking about Late Bloomer by Mazey Edding! We're talking about buying a flower farm, what would we do if we won the lottery and some seriously spicy sapphic chemistry and more! Book description below Theme Song by Man With Roses. Winning the lottery has ruined Opal Devlin's's life. After quitting her dead-end job where she'd earned minimum wage and even less respect, she's bombarded by people knocking at her door for a handout the second they found out her bank account was overflowing with cash. And Opal can't seem to stop saying yes. With her tender heart thoroughly abused, Opal decides to protect herself by any means necessary, which to her translates to putting almost all her new money to buying a failing flower farm in Asheville, North Carolina to let the flowers live out their plant destiny while she uses the cabin on the property to start her painting business. But her plans for isolation and self-preservation go hopelessly awry when an angry (albeit gorgeous) Pepper Smith is waiting for her at her new farm. Pepper states she's the rightful owner of Thistle and Bloom Farms, and isn't moving out. The unlikely pair strike up an agreement of co-habitation, and butt-heads at every turn. Can these opposites both live out their dreams and plant roots? Or will their combustible arguing (and growing attraction) burn the whole place down?

jeepshowbook.com Robert B. O'Connor's lifelong interest in history, writing, and decision-making has shaped his professional career and creative pursuits. Born in the 1950s and raised in New York City and New Haven, Connecticut, O'Connor benefitted from his parents' commitment to a first-class education for their children. He graduated with Highest Honors in History in 1979 from Kenyon College, where he was a member of Phi Beta Kappa.

Continuing our exploration of ecofeminist theory and practice, March's edition puts an emphasis on ecofeminist practice and actions we all can take to put women in places of power to (re)generate the healing changes and salves we need in society to work together to overcome greed and land grabs, and work for a future of sane decision making in the direction of catastrophe prevention, including in the rebuilding of LA. Hear from Ava Park, Priestess of the Temple of the Goddess of Orange County, tell us a bit about her women-only organization and a bit about her philosophy and then go on to tell us about how members of her community were impacted by the fires, including a member who called her in the middle of the night because she had lost everything, except the clothes on her back. At the end of the interview with Ava, she makes an appeal to WLRN listeners to write to Mayor Karen Bass at mayor.helpdesk@lacity.org and let her know that you support the reinstatement of lesbian fire chief Kristin Crowly. Below, find the template letter Ava suggests you work with. Dear Mayor Bass: Please reconsider the termination of Fire Chief Kristin Crowley. The circumstances of our recent fires here in Southern California were extreme and unusual. Many respected community leaders support Fire Chief Crowley, believe she has done a fine job, and that this may not be the time to make a drastic change. Crowley has the experience needed; she can learn from this past fire season and doubtless handle matters better with that knowledge. A new fire chief will have a big learning curve. Even if she has made mistakes, let our community benefit from the experience Crowley has now gained. Please reinstate Fire Chief Crowley and meet with her to design a plan for facing our coming fire season next year with all that you, your staff, the fire department and other Los Angeles leaders have learned from our recent disaster. Give Crowley the budget she says she requires to run the department properly. Nothing could be more important. See how she performs in the coming year. If you feel she is not competent, you can terminate her then and no one would question your judgment. Thank you. - (Your name and any title or location info you want to put to validate you are a real person) After the interview with Ava, stay tuned for Thistle's interview with comedian and actor Goldie Hoffman who reports that when she returned home there was a gray dust covering her yard, "...the bushes, the trees, the grass, everything." She describes touching it and going on to tell about the possible toxic content she and others likely have ingested and may continue to be ingesting. These are scary times and real stories coming from women on the front lines of ecofeminism in the sense of staying alive as the world burns around them, and aiding in a spirit of cooperation and community when possible. Finally, hear Sekhmet SheOwl's poignant commentary about how the number of homes destroyed in the fires really impacts how people are handling the aftermath and that men are raping and trafficking women in increased numbers due to their destitution, vulnerability and homelessness. Sekhmet calls for us to build our female friendships and community as the human ship goes down. Finally, on an up note, Freda invites us to learn more about WoLF Summer Camp for Radfems and to sign up here: https://womensliberationfront.org/2025-summer-camps
