We are back in time for the Ber months. It's that special time of year and we get into the spooky season. We usually ease our way into horror with horror comedies and where can you find the best horror comedies, that great decade the 80s. We kick off spooky season with the 1986 classic Night of the Creeps! In 1959, an alien experiment crashes to earth and infects a fraternity member. They freeze the body, but in the modern day, two geeks pledging a fraternity accidentally thaw the corpse, which proceeds to infect the campus with parasites that transform their hosts into killer zombies. Featuring the great Tom Adkins we get into the creepers and just how they get you. From the great Fredd Dekkar of Monster Squad fame we present Night of the creeps.

Pete Six joins the podcast to break down early-season strategies and the important factors that can make or break a hunt, including access, wind, and how to approach pressured public-land bucks. The conversation dives into the thrill of the chase in public-land woods and what keeps hunters coming back even when the odds are stacked against them. They also take a deeper look at the hunting industry, discussing both the good and bad that come with the growth of hunting media, brands, and the business side of the sport. Thank you for listening, and hope you enjoy.Stealth Outdoors (BD10) https://www.stealthoutdoors.com

Organic farming in Scotland is entering a period of renewed growth. The latest Scottish Government statistics show that, in 2025, 168,200 hectares of Scottish agricultural land were either fully organic or undergoing conversion — an increase of 28% on 2024 and 62% since 2021. Of this, 115,800 hectares were fully organic, while 52,400 hectares were in conversion, around double the area recorded the previous year. Organic and in-conversion land now accounts for 3.3% of Scotland's agricultural area.For businesses considering making the change, organic conversion is about considerably more than simply replacing conventional inputs. The conversion period provides an opportunity to examine the whole farming system — including rotations, soil fertility, nutrient management, grass and clover production, livestock management, markets and the financial implications of operating within organic standards. A well-developed conversion plan is central to understanding whether organic farming is both practically achievable and financially sustainable for an individual business.In this episode of Thrill of the Hill, we are joined by Ewan Johnston, Principal Consultant with SAC Consulting and the Farm Advisory Service Topic Lead for Organics. Based at Thainstone in Aberdeenshire, Ewan has more than 25 years of agricultural consultancy experience, having worked in Shetland and Moray before moving to the North East. His career has given him experience across a broad range of Scottish farming systems, from crofting, hill and upland livestock enterprises through to intensive lowland arable businesses.Growing demand for organic advice led Ewan to complete an MSc in Organic Farming, and he has since developed particular expertise in organic production, soil and nutrient management, grassland and clover-based systems, alongside wider crop, livestock and farm business management. He is BASIS, FACTS and FBAASS accredited, sits on theScottish Organic Producers Association technical advisory committee and teaches organic farming to students at SRUC.As FAS Topic Lead for Organics, Ewan is also working to broaden the conversation beyond farms already committed to certification, looking at how principles and practices associated with organic farming can be integrated into conventional and regenerative systems.In this episode, we discuss what farmers and crofters need to consider before beginning an organic conversion, what goes into preparing an organic conversion plan, where the potential opportunities and challenges lie, and why planning the farming system as a whole is so important before taking the first step towards certification.This episode is brought to you by the Farm Advisory Service, presented by Alexander Pirie, produced by Heather Stuart, edited by Kieron Sim, with executive producers Kirstyn Blackwood and Kerry Hammond.Timestamps00.57 Introducing Ewan Johnston03.26 Where are we at now in Scotland with organic conversions04.19 What goes into the organic conversion plan08.14 The conversion plan is a live document09.50 Timeline for the conversion process11.18 Standard conversion and simultaneous conversion12.58 Be clear in your own mind why you want to go organic14.35 Information to include in a conversion plan18.00 How should seasonal grazing be viewed18.50 Partial conversion & parallel production20.55 Nutrient management24.06 Stocking rates and forage demand25.40 Dispelling the myth – animal health in organic systems28.10 Record keeping31.06 Common mistakes in conversion plans33.45 Ewan's take home messageResourcesAccess a range of FAS Organic information and guides here Organic Information | Helping farmers in ScotlandRural Payments and Services: Organic Farming: ConversionSoil AssociationScottish Organic Producers Association (SOPA)Get in touch with Ewan Ewan.Johnston@sac.co.ukGet in touch with the show advice@fas.scotFor more information, visit www.FAS.scotFacebook: @FASScotNational Advice HubPhone: 0300 323 0161Email: advice@fas.scot

Time to tackle a beloved classic and the bisexual awakening of an entire generation of moviegoers, 1999's 'The Mummy'! Thrill to tales of angry camels, Brendan Fraser passing out on set, and all the dazzling CGI the late 90s had to offer as we do a deep dive into one of the biggest classics of one of cinema's best years!

Mike holds down the studio solo this week while EB spends a spontaneous day at Six Flags Great America — but the real story is one nobody saw coming: Six Flags has officially purchased ArieForce One, the beloved RMC that was headed for demolition just weeks after Fun Spot Atlanta announced its closure. Mike breaks down why this genuinely surprised him (the budgeting alone for a chain like Six Flags should have made this financially implausible), walks through everything that has to happen before this ride finds a new home — disassembly, cataloging, transport, an entirely new station to fix its known capacity issues — and floats his own guesses for which park might land it when Six Flags reveals the destination later this year. Meanwhile, EB reports live from the midway all day: riding the new Wrath of Rakshasa dive coaster, revisiting old favorites five years after his first trip to the park, and later checking out the Dark Knight coaster. A listener trip report from opening day of Night Flight Expedition at Dollywood reveals a rocky first outing — a four-hour wait, a failed test, and a mad dash back into line — but genuine excitement for what the ride will become once it's fully worked in. Then Mike covers Six Flags Magic Mountain's announcement of an entirely new roller coaster category: the Thrill Glider, a prone, face-forward "hover cycle" experience blending flying coaster tech with a full sci-fi storyline. Plus, a look at Alton Towers' elaborate new Halloween dinner theater experience, Dine With the Dead, and EB caps off his day with a nightcap at a favorite Chicago tiki bar.

What makes Christian orthodoxy thrilling? Today we chat with Trevin Wax, author of The Thrill of Orthodoxy, about why doctrine and theology are anything but dull, and how recovering the richness of historic Christian belief can deepen our faith and draw us closer to God.Additionally, we'll discover how church history can help Christians stand firm when cultural winds are blowing, and why true adventure is not found in abandoning the boundaries of the Christian faith, but in exploring the depths of the faith handed down to us.

Introducing the Band: Your hosts Scot Bertram (@ScotBertram) and Jeff Blehar (@EsotericCD) with guest Eli Lake. Eli is a columnist for The Free Press, contributing editor at Commentary, and host of Breaking History. You can follow him on Twitter/x @EliLake. Eli's Music Pick: Steely Dan In what is likely the last of our past episodes to be completely re-recorded, we present a totally new edition of our look at the music and career of Steely Dan. Jeff long has despised the sound of his microphone on the original show (our version of a Katy Lied-esque mishap), which also was recorded in a back-up studio. It makes sense to get something on tape that will stand the test of time.  There may not be a more unlikely story in rock history than Steely Dan, more specifically the braintrust of Donald Fagen and Walter Becker. Michael McDonald, who provided backing vocals for the band later in its career, wrote that Fagen had the "physique of an 80-year-old woman" and Becker gave off the distinct vibe of a "lab technician working on some nefarious government experiment." These two guys, who famously didn't even like the idea of being in a conventional rock band, somehow became one of the most distinctive and enduring acts of the 1970s. They took the sounds of jazz, R&B, soul, blues, pop, and rock, ran them through a filter of studio perfectionism and darkly funny songwriting, and came out with something that sounded like nobody else. And somehow, against all odds, some of the most musically complicated songs of their era became radio staples.  The Steely Dan story is also a story of constant reinvention. From the sly pop-rock of Can't Buy a Thrill and Countdown to Ecstasy, through the increasingly ambitious Pretzel Logic, Katy Lied, and The Royal Scam, Becker and Fagen gradually turned the recording studio into their own musical laboratory. Then came Aja, the masterpiece that may be the ultimate expression of their obsession with precision, groove, and impeccable musicianship. The term “Yacht Rock” might as well have been born right then and there. Gaucho pushed that approach even further, even as the band's perfectionism and internal tensions reached a breaking point.  We dig into the music, the personalities, the bizarre characters, the legendary studio sessions, and the songs that make Steely Dan so endlessly rewarding. Because beneath all the perfectionism and complexity, Steely Dan always understood one fundamental thing: A great song still needs a great groove. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

#107: Brittany Redden is an archery hunter, mom, instructional designer, and children's book author who believes some of the best lessons in life are learned outside. Based in Oklahoma, Brittany spends her free time hunting elk, deer, and turkeys, fishing at the lake, camping, and exploring the outdoors with her family. In this episode of Reckoning, we talk about her journey into hunting and archery, chasing elk, and what it looks like to continue pursuing adventure while raising a family. We also dive into motherhood and Brittany's mission to raise good, happy, healthy daughters by using the outdoors as a natural classroom—giving them space to learn, explore, get dirty, and see the word of God in action. That same mission led Brittany to become a children's book author. Through her hunting and camping-themed books, including her latest, Autumn's First Turkey, she blends adventure and education to introduce kids to hunting, nature, and the lessons that can only be learned outside. This conversation is about more than hunting. It's about motherhood, raising capable kids, continuing to chase your own adventures, and passing a love of the outdoors on to the next generation.

The 2026 edition of Venice Immersive marks their 10-year anniversary, and I interviewed the co-curators Liz Rosenthal and Michel Reilhac about this year's selection that includes 30 projects in competition, 9 Best of selections, 3 Biennale College Cinema – Immersive projects, 26 VRChat worlds, as well as a special immersive event. Rosenthal and Reilhac talk about how the structures and forms of immersive storytelling have really matured, and how they're still really novel and compelling ways that artists are using XR and the affordances of immersive design to tell really compelling stories. The diversity and comprehensive scope of the selection each year reflects a vibrant creative exploration that is being grounded into more and more viable revenue streams through "location-based entertainment" or LBE. Be sure to check out the 121-page IDFA DocLab Immersive Think Tank Report 2026 that I wrote for more details on this emerging indie XR distribution ecosystem. Rosenthal and Reilhac talk about the latest trends of immersive storytelling, but also what keeps them coming back to this emerging medium. To me, it's one of the most vital and interesting aspects of the XR industry, and it is also where I'm seeing some of the most intersting innovations for the medium. I've now published 692 episodes on Immersive Storytelling on the Voices of VR podcast since 2014 with many more unpublished in my backlog yet to come. This accounts for over a third of all my coverage as it's a really great testing ground for really understanding the affordances of the medium as it is used to tell so many different types of stories across many contexts, and using many different combinations of disciplines. Check out my previous episode #1787 for some of my philosophical musings on "Blending the Elements of Experiential Design."I'll be attending this year's edition of Venice Immersive to both see the program and to interview as many of the featured creators as I can, and last year I topped more than 30 hours conducted onsite. I will update this post here once I post all of my coverage from Venice Immersive 2026. Selected Projects that You Can Watch at Home Right Now If you won't be able to make it Venice Immersive, then there are a number of Best of Selections that are available on the Oculus store, that are very much worth checking out. Spymaster Crafting Crimes: The Mona Lisa Heist Hotel Infinity The Amusement Little Nightmares VR: Altered Echoes All but one of the 26 VRChat worlds in the VRChat World Gallery are already publicly available, and I'll leave a list of links down below if you'd like to get an early start on worldhopping. There will be an official Hub world in VRChat with portals to all of the worlds published on September 2nd by the VeniceImmersive user account, and if you're onsite, then I'd highly recommend checking these out as a guided tour.

In this intellectually dazzling and spiritually transformative satsang, Shunyamurti bridges ancient nondual wisdom with modern philosophy to illuminate one of the deepest mysteries of existence: What is this world? Drawing on the insights of Jean Baudrillard, Abhinavagupta, Adi Shankaracharya, and Sri Ramana Maharshi, he reveals why reality is better understood as a simulacrum—a mirror reflection without an original—than as a material universe existing independently of consciousness. Moving from a penetrating critique of consumer culture, desire, and the modern "Matrix," Shunyamurti then unveils the seven states of consciousness, showing why the waking ego is the least qualified to judge reality. True awakening begins when we transcend the limitations of ordinary awareness and enter the luminous stillness from which all experience arises. This teaching is excerpted from Shunyamurti's latest seminar, "The Thrill of the Infinite: You Must Take the Leap."

You may have chosen to go into private practice because you wanted more freedom, only to find yourself recreating the same traditional workweek you were trying to leave behind.When success has always looked like putting in your time, staying busy, and being available throughout the workday, stepping away from your desk can feel like playing hooky, which can be uncomfortable — even when your business is stable and your clients are well supported.In this “Best Of” episode, Linzy revisits one of the most downloaded conversations from the past year with Diane Webber, a financial therapist, private practice owner, and coach in the Money Skills programs. Together, they explore the freedom, responsibility, uncertainty, and purpose that can come with self-employment.Diane shares how private practice has allowed her to be present for her family while navigating the changing needs of the sandwich generation. She and Linzy also talk about why therapists do not have 40 hours of quality emotional energy to give every week, how rest and time away support better clinical work, and why appearing busy is not the same as doing meaningful work.Their conversation also turns to the ongoing work of managing money as business owners. Financial systems cannot always be reorganized quickly because money is still coming in and going out while the changes are happening. Diane explains why patience, small wins, and confidence in the decision-making process matter more than trying to fix everything at once.If you have been measuring your success by the number of hours you work, feeling guilty when you step away, or trying to overhaul your finances in one intense burst, this episode will help you think differently about what a sustainable private practice can look like.Timestamps:03:30 - Meet Money Skills Coach Diane Webber04:16 - The Highs and Lows of Self-Employment05:17 - What Freedom in Private Practice Can Look Like06:05 - Self-Employment and the Needs of the Sandwich Generation07:41 - Building a Business That Supports Time Away08:01 - Unlearning the Need to Put In Your Time09:39 - Why Quality Matters More Than Quantity10:26 - Therapists Do Not Have 40 Hours of Emotional Energy11:16 - Giving Yourself Permission to Step Away12:54 - Letting Your Brain Work in the Background13:56 - The Performance of Busyness and Pseudo-Productivity14:41 - Understanding and Honoring How You Work Best17:34 - Variety, Change, and Using Different Parts of Your Brain18:17 - Why Money Skills Work Can Feel More Concrete20:00 - Creating Order in Work That Often Feels Messy22:00 - Building Confidence in Your Financial Process22:33 - Learning Money Skills While Money Is Still Moving23:30 - Creating a Sustainable, Ongoing Relationship with Money24:43 - Do All Private Practice Owners Identify as Entrepreneurs?29:33 - Finding a Gap and Building Work Around It30:33 - How Owning Your Niche Helps the Right Clients Find You32:22 - Outsourcing Work You Do Not Enjoy33:00 - Freedom, Responsibility, and the Thrill of Self-Employment34:06 - Diane's Financial Therapy Practice35:29 - Linzy's Final Reflection and Community InvitationConnect with Diane Webber:Diane is a licensed professional counselor and certified financial social work counselor with a fully online private practice in Northeastern Pennsylvania.

Independence Day is approaching!Imagine if someone has procured illegal fireworks from a couple of states over. Are you:1. first in line to light them?2. content to watch while others set them off?3. going to find a fire extinguisher — just in case — while loudly condemning the activity?Ken Carter, a psychologist at Oxford College of Emory University, says everyone has a different level of sensation-seeking. This episode, we get into the factors at play, like people's brain chemistry, when deciding whether or not to do an activity, like setting off fireworks.For low and average sensation-seekers, very thrilling activities like large, self-run fireworks displays can cause their bodies to produce a lot of cortisol, a stress hormone.On the other hand, high sensation-seekers, Carter says, "don't tend to produce that much cortisol when they're in those highly chaotic experiences. So when they're seeing those fireworks, they actually produce higher amounts of another chemical called dopamine, which is a neurotransmitter or a chemical messenger that's involved in pleasure."Carter has developed a 40-point self-assessment survey for people to figure out how much of a sensation-seeker they are. The survey can be found in his book, Buzz!Interested in more psychology episodes?
