Welcome back to Once, Every Two Weeks, the podcast where long-time friends Mark and Thom subject themselves (and anyone still listening) to even more 90s nostalgia, deep cuts, and questionable life choices. This time, they dust off Placebo's “Without You I'm Nothing”—the album that taught awkward teens it's okay to be a little messy and a lot loud.

In this episode, Thom and Sam dive into five compelling reasons churches should still prioritize reaching Baby Boomers. Despite cultural shifts, Boomers remain a vital part of many communities—and churches. They're often more open to spiritual conversations, have time and resources to invest in ministry, and bring deep life experience that can benefit younger generations. Boomers still matter, and your church can more effectively reach and disciple them. The post Five Reasons Churches Should Still Try to Reach Boomers appeared first on Church Answers.

In this special episode, Jamie sits down with Bruce Thom, founder of BAT Machine, to dive deep into the history, philosophy, and uncompromising craftsmanship that have made BAT actions legendary. From the company's benchrest roots to dominating tactical, hunting, and ELR applications, Bruce shares how precision, tolerances, and attention to detail shape every receiver they produce. We cover the difference between tolerances and clearances, what defines an “ultra-premium” action, how BAT approaches machining and heat treating, and why smoothness and consistency matter more than shortcuts. With over 100 world records set on BAT actions, this conversation highlights not just the technical side, but the ethos of making rifles that truly perform. If you've ever wondered what sets BAT apart—or why so many top shooters trust their actions—this episode is packed with insight you won't want to miss.

Since we can't make our way to Oxford for Thom and Stan's art exhibition, we found the next best thing: an “immersive” exhibit presented by Rolling Stone magazine about rock n roll culture throughout the decades. Luckily Radiohead is featured extensively but was it worth it? What did we learn and did it take us on a journey? How does it compare to the Kid Amnesiac Digital Exhibition? We try to answer these questions with our special guest and immersive experience professional, Andrew Lazarow. He also tells us all about the familiar way he became a Radiohead fan and the shocking amount of times he's seen them live. Let's not forget the newspile, which is full of stories like Thom's “new” tv show theme song, an intriguing Tall Tales coin hunt, Tom Skinner's upcoming jazz record, swirling Radiohead tour rumors, and Sime's favorite song finally getting its due.

In the final part of the series, Thom and Jess examine four additional translations that remain popular within more specific theological, academic, or expositional contexts: New American Standard Bible (NASB), New Revised Standard Version (NRSV), Revised Standard Version (RSV), and Legacy Standard Bible (LSB).

Some people step into retirement without a clear plan, while others see it as an open canvas. My guest today, Thom Barrett, retired at 55 after a successful career at PriceWaterhouseCoopers and chose to fill his canvas with adventure, creativity, and service. From kayaking off the coast of Antarctica to building furniture in his workshop, Thom has lived a life of bold exploration. Even as he faces stage four cancer, he continues to write, travel, and approach each day with intention. In this episode, we discuss: Why Thom chose to retire early and pursue adventure How travel and time in nature became both refuge and teacher The lessons he's learned about acceptance, vulnerability, and mindfulness Why he began writing books and travel reflections during his illness How he continues to live with purpose and presence despite new limitations Resources: The Edge of Now by Thom Barrett Living While Dying, Chasing My Northern Lights, and more of Thom's books Visit Thom's website

A desolate, white, freezing cold land mass, with millions of penguins and seals but no human beings, no permanent settlement by our species, not unless one counts the scientific stations established in the mid of the last century or so.The Arctic was inhabited for many centuries before the Vikings ventured to Greenland. These people survived and thrived even on occasion! Of course the Antarctic is so much more extreme than the Arctic. And so far and isolated from any other place. But explorers, navigators, and sailors from European Colonial powers who were brave enough, curious enough and driven by some bizarre desire to be the first to reach the south pole or explore the continent from one end to the other, these humans had to learn how to first survive in these extreme, inhuman conditions! And learn, copy, improvise and improve from societies and nations who lived in similar conditions…These adventurers needed to survive for months, many many months on end on ice! Perhaps without ever reaching for outside help. And of course food is paramount!
