Last time, Disney Cruise Line gave us the ideas. This time, we're taking over. In Part 2 of our discussion about the future of themed Disney cruises, Kevin, Danny, Eli, and Rachel put on their Armchair Imagineering hats and pitch the specialty sailings THEY would create for Disney Cruise Line. And nobody knew what anyone else was bringing to the table. Rachel comes prepared with two very different possibilities: a Taylor Swift-inspired sailing packed with music, themed nights, and plenty of opportunities for Swifties to spend money—and "C23," essentially D23 at Sea, complete with Imagineers, Disney history, archival material, models, panels, and plenty of exclusive merchandise. Then things get nostalgic. Danny transforms an entire Disney cruise ship into a celebration of extinct Disney attractions, reimagining everything from the atrium and restaurants to onboard entertainment with tributes to Horizons, Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, Kitchen Kabaret, Spirit of Aloha, and other pieces of Disney history. Eli takes a trip into another dimension with a Twilight Zone-inspired voyage filled with lost Disney objects, retired attractions, classic animatronics, and some wonderfully strange possibilities. Finally, Kevin pitches Adventures on the High Seas—a four-night sailing where every day becomes a completely different Disney adventure. Guests receive an Adventure Passport and become part of the story through family challenges, entertainment, activities, and experiences that can change from year to year. Four hosts. Several very different cruise concepts. One imaginary unlimited Disney budget. Which one would YOU book? It's time for our ideas to set sail.

I was asked recently to do a concert review for the Japanese Punk Band Shonen Knife. They got their start back in 1981 and have been playing their Ramones infused punk rock for decades. In the early 1990s Kurt Cobain and Nirvana asked them to tour with the band, and that gave them some great exposure. I recently saw them with Men at Work and Toad the Wet Sprocket in Reno NV and it was a great show. I hope you dig this! 

Big Hank is from a town with a beloved, boring, and not often discussed tradition: Toad Pyramid. The event takes place on his very yard and he gets immense benefit from the toad-pyramid's impact on his mushroom-growing setup. All was well until this year. This year... something changed. Thanks for listening!

Disney's The Legend of Sleepy Hollow has been haunting Halloween television for generations. Meghan grew up with Ichabod Crane, the autumn abundance of the Van Tassel farm, Bing Crosby's unforgettable narration and, of course, the Headless Horseman thundering through those wonderfully spooky woods. Lyle, on the other hand, somehow made it to adulthood without ever seeing it. Today, Meghan introduces Lyle to this 1949 Disney classic as they explore its roots in Washington Irving's original story, its gorgeous vision of autumn, its surprisingly rich language, memorable music and one of Disney's most effective ventures into genuine Halloween scares. Does it still work for someone seeing it for the first time as an adult—or is nostalgia doing some of the heavy lifting? 48 days until Halloween!

Join us as Sheila welcomes past guest and good friend Abigail Bourque back to the show to share her recent trip to California with her sister, Emily. The main focus of their trip was to see a stage show performed by Team StarKid, an American musical theatre company. But Abby also had a longtime dream of spending a day at Disneyland, and this trip gave her the perfect opportunity to finally make that dream a reality. Abby spent her last day in California at Disneyland, and standing in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle, she could hardly believe she was really there. It was one of those moments where she had to keep pinching herself to make sure it wasn't a dream. She spent the day fitting in as many attractions as she could, including Indiana Jones Adventure, Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, and Tiana's Bayou Adventure. Her first day at Disneyland has made Abby even more excited for a family trip coming up in February 2027, when she'll return with her mom, her sister Emily, and her two young nephews.

For 17 years, Rachel McCartney had set aside a music career and all the anxiety and uncertainty that came along with it. She was in her mid-30s and wanted a family and some stability. Once she started a new life as an ICU nurse and mother to two young children, her musical career and the momentum she had created over the past three decades in New England and Western Pennsylvania didn't much cross her mind.I met Rachel when I was 18 years old while at Emerson College. It was the year 2000 and the folk scene in Boston was popping with incredible talent: Lori McKenna, Deb Talan (The Weepies), Anaïs Mitchell and many others were selling out shows left and right in listening rooms across New England. Rachel was a frequent name that popped up in the newspaper, on radio, as a busker in the subway and around town at venues like The Kendall Cafe, Toad and of course, the folk mothership, aka Club Passim. It was a lucrative time for the singer-songwriter with a big voice and great songs.She would frequently appear with another Boston-famous, yet under-the-radar songwriter, the Atlanta-born Brian Webb. Although, their friendship was hard-won after their brief romantic relationship ended. However, they kept performing together as the two were each other's musical kindreds, their voices blending effortlessly. If you were at Rachel's recent album release, you were treated to some Rachel & Brian classics that lit up the WERS Coffeehouse in the early 2000's. Needless to say, I am so thrilled that Rachel's released new music and am very excited that she agreed to be on the podcast today.In our conversation, we discuss her move from Iowa to Massachusetts as a teen and how the impact of that has influenced the way she makes decisions for her kids. She talks about her relationship to the guitar, her singing and her songwriting. She addresses the allegations that, indeed, she is a horse girl through and through.She moved to Pittsburgh in her 20s on a whim, something we have in common. She reflects on Pittsburgh, busking in Boston and what it was like to choose a stable life with a family in nursing. Her new album, Taming Dragons, was produced by Zack Hickman and she shares what it felt like to be in the studio after nearly two decades. I was pleased to point out that dragons also appear on Tori Amos' new album (In the Time of Dragons), which then led Rachel to share what the dragon symbolizes for her.We did this interview in my backyard (like Oprah) and you can hear birds, lawn mowers and Francie in the background, but I think it all adds to the atmosphere. I have interviewed Rachel many times, but it was all before my cerebral cortex was fully formed, so this is basically the first real interview I have done with the fabulous Rachel McCartney! - CindyFollow Basic Folk on social media: https://basicfolk.bio.link/Sign up for Basic Folk's newsletter: https://bit.ly/basicfolknewsHelp produce Basic Folk by contributing: https://basicfolk.com/donate/Interested in sponsoring us?

​We're going back to the movie that started it all! Before the MCU was even a blueprint, 2000's X-Men proved that grounded superhero cinema could rule the box office.​On this episode, we're breaking down the original Fox blockbuster scene-by-scene, from Hugh Jackman's last-minute casting drama to the iconic dynamic between Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen. Plus, we untangle the real story behind Halle Berry's infamous Toad line, hidden Easter eggs, and how this movie set the foundation for two decades of Marvel films. follow @kevin27wrld

Journalist Kimon de Greef joins Chris Clarke to discuss his new book, The Ego Trip: Psychedelic Toads, a Trail of Deaths, and the Guru Who Peddled Transcendence. The Sonoran Desert toad (Incilius alvarius) spends most of the year underground, emerging to breed during summer rainstorms. It is also the only animal known to produce 5-MeO-DMT, an extraordinarily powerful psychedelic compound, in its defensive secretions. That biological curiosity has made the toad the center of a global psychedelic industry. Chris and Kimon discuss how Sonoran toad secretions changed from a little-known psychedelic tool into an international spiritual commodity; how outsiders profit from romanticized ideas about Indigenous tradition; and what the resulting trade means for the toads, the people hired to collect them, and communities living amid poverty and cartel violence. They also examine parallels with the commercial appropriation and poaching of white sage, and consider an uncomfortable contradiction: people seeking healing, transcendence and communion with nature may be supporting a supply chain built on wildlife exploitation, misinformation and harm. Content Note This episode contains discussion of drug use, addiction, death, animal mistreatment and abusive psychedelic practices. It is not intended as medical advice or encouragement to use 5-MeO-DMT or any other controlled substance. About Kimon de Greef Kimon de Greef is a South African journalist whose work has appeared in The New Yorker, The New York Times, The Guardian, National Geographic, Guernica and other publications. He has a master’s degree in conservation biology from the University of Cape Town and a master’s degree in journalism from New York University.

The Iron Brigade's journey to Madripoor gets off to a turbulent start when the villain Crossbones hijacks their flight, forcing the team into a high-altitude battle to save everyone on board. After stopping the takeover, they meet a fellow mercenary team that shares valuable information about the growing number of hired guns who have mysteriously vanished. Upon arriving in Madripoor, the Brigade barely has time to catch their breath before stepping in to rescue a woman from an attack by the Blob and Toad. With the villains defeated and more pieces of the mystery falling into place, the team's path is finally clear. Their investigation now leads them to the infamous Bloodbath tournament, where they hope to uncover the truth behind the missing mercenaries.   Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1628612284256101/   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lmgpodnetwork?igsh=YTBtMm1kd3k3a3N3   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheLMGPodcast   Hosts: Jordan Mitchell,    

Brohemian Grove is over, and Nephilim Death Squad is breaking down what actually happened behind the scenes. In this full Brogrove recap, the Raven and Top Lobsta are joined by Matthew Heppner of Straight Bible and Zack of The Berean Files to revisit the VIP Day, the main event, the guests, the chaos, the comedy, the spiritual conversations, and the community that made the weekend happen.The crew talks about venue problems, setup and teardown, the unexpected army of listeners who helped clean up, and what worked—and didn't work—behind the scenes. They revisit the wild stage combination of Owen Benjamin and Dr. Heather Lynn, the event security officer watching the madness unfold, and the mix of podcasters, Bible teachers, conspiracy researchers, and listeners who finally got to meet face-to-face.The conversation also goes deep into some of the topics that surfaced during Brogrove: flat earth arguments, institutional distrust, Rob Skiba, cannibalism and spiritual sacrifice, a bizarre HGTV/open-floor-plan conspiracy theory, and the story of a possible Toad vs. RFK Jr. Libertarian debate. The guys discuss Ed Mabry, Laura Baker, John Lenhart, Brian of Demon Erasers, Seth Kicklighter, Doc Brown, Austin Picard, and other creators who helped make the event what it was.On the Biblical side, Matthew reflects on the VIP Bible study centered on intimacy with God and a living relationship with Scripture. The discussion also touches on Cain and Abel's sacrifices in Hebrews, faith, and the idea of becoming a living sacrifice by surrendering your life in service to God.They also reveal what did not make it into the event—including the Nephilim Death Squad video game demo—and begin brainstorming what the next Brohemian Grove could become: a different venue, a two-day format, bigger guests, family options, a cruise, a movie theater, or even Brogrove church camp.What was your favorite moment from Brohemian Grove?

Joshua Hunter blasts off into The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, Illumination and Nintendo's follow-up to their 2023 blockbuster — and this time, Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Toad head into space to rescue a kidnapped Rosalina from Bowser Jr. 2026's first billion-dollar movie and the year's biggest sequel debut, but critics weren't nearly as impressed, with plenty calling out a thin story buried under nonstop galaxy-hopping spectacle. Joshua digs into whether the film's visuals and new characters (hello, Donald Glover's Yoshi and Glen Powell's Fox McCloud) make up for a script that critics say coasts on fan service.

Neither Bob Hoskins or John Leguizamo could make except rockabilly Toad.

In several zoos across the Midwest, there are staff dedicated to feeding and breeding a rare toad. They hope to keep the species alive and support its recovery, despite threats like climate change and a deadly fungus. Next week, the zookeepers will head west to see the toads in the wild. Minnesota Now producer Alanna Elder reports on the effort to save a species that happens to share her hometown.

We're back! Dan's in California, going to Disney and living his best life under an orange tree. Maureen has been left to her own devices for ten days and bought a bunch of power tools.

This week's Book Picks comes from Green Toad Bookstore in Oneonta, NY and Cheryl McKeon from The Book House in Albany and Marketblock Books in Troy, NY.

Freddie Bigg built from Bay Area middleman to cultivation partner. Here is what that journey actually cost and what it paid.Freddie Bigg started as a middleman in the pre-legal Bay Area market and made the call at exactly the right time: when recreational Cannabis launched, he partnered with SF Canna in 2019 and Planta in 2023, moving from distributor to cultivator. This is his third appearance on Good PizzZa Podcast, and the game has changed dramatically since the first one.In this conversation, Freddie breaks down why the "go direct to the farm" advice circulating online is getting people's heads knocked off on price, how the race to the bottom in Cannabis pricing destroys the value of product that operators should be protecting, and what it actually means to have relationships versus thinking you have them. He runs through the current Planta strain menu including Biscotti, Gelato 41, Gelonade, Coffin Candy, 11 Coffins, Red Hots, and the Zangria cross, and makes the case that flavor chasing in competition judging has quietly undercut the thing 100 percent of smokers actually want: to get high. The Toad conversation hits hard here because Freddie had early access, posted it, watched his account get deleted from the response, and has it in production at both operations.The macro conversation is where this episode gets interesting for anyone building a Cannabis brand right now. Freddie draws the Napa Valley comparison for Northern California sun-grown Cannabis once interstate commerce opens, explains how the first wave of legalization sent operators into what he calls the shores of Normandy, and traces why the operators still standing are mostly the ones who kept it solid from the beginning. The Static hash export market and the Doja Pak Germany story add an international layer that most California-focused conversations skip entirely.Freddie Bigg is one of the people in this industry who can back up everything he says with receipts. JP and Freddie have been building together since episode one of this show. This one is for the operators, the builders, and anyone who wants to know what the game actually looks like from inside it.Y'all know what time it is…Roll em fat, torch your rigs, pack your bongs, bag up some work, water your plants, do what you gotta do because we're about to take this journey with Freddie Bigg!✌

When twin brothers Trevor and Kyle Ritland were children, their father — a biologist — would tell them stories about a mythical creature that lived high in the misty mountains of Costa Rica: the golden toad. The toad was elusive, he told them — but for a few weeks every spring, hundreds of them would emerge from the shadows to mate, lighting up the dense forest like brilliant spots of fire. Until one day, the golden toad vanished — never to be seen again.It's mysteries like these that have drawn scores of researchers out of their labs and into the wild — tugging them to explore, to climb distant mountains, to venture into faraway forests and discover or rediscover a creature, a place, some new clue.On this encore episode, we hear stories of those adventures. We talk with Trevor and Kyle about their quest to find out what happened to the golden toad — and what they ultimately discovered. We hear the epic tale of writer Kim Frank's travels to India in search of wild Asian elephants. And we talk with conservation ecologist Ryan Almeida about how the global wildlife trade is affecting certain species and their habitats. We talk with brothers Kyle and Trevor Ritland — a writer and documentary filmmaker, respectively — about their search for the mythical golden toad, a presumed-extinct species that hasn't been seen for over three decades, and what they learned in their travels through the cloud forests of Costa Rica. Their book is “The Golden Toad: An Ecological Mystery and the Search for a Lost Species.” About 10 years ago, writer Kim Frank set out to understand why wild elephants were trampling people in India. But her journey and the human-wildlife conflict was far more complex than she imagined — taking her down dead ends, meeting with an Indian princess, and finally coming face-to-face with the forest giants.  They're the kind of animals you only expect to see in documentaries — green anacondas; giant alligator snapping turtles; even the deadly black mamba — but around the world, millions of these often-dangerous animals are sold as pets. We talk with conservation ecologist Ryan Almeida about what fuels the wildlife trade, its effects on native habitats, and what happens when these pets escape into new ecosystems.

This week's RV Lifestyle Podcast News Edition covers five important stories every RVer should know about.First, a major recall affects more than one million Jeep Wranglers and Gladiators, including many popular tow vehicles used behind motorhomes. Owners are being advised to park affected vehicles outside due to a potential fire risk, even when the ignition is off.We also look at new vehicle restrictions at Zion National Park that will prevent many larger motorhomes and fifth wheels from using the scenic Zion-Mt. Carmel Highway and tunnel route. If Zion is on your travel plans this year, these changes could affect your trip.Plus, diesel fuel prices have finally started moving lower, but many RV owners are still running into an outdated pay-at-the-pump system that makes filling large tanks unnecessarily difficult.In this episode you'll also hear the remarkable story of how investigators finally identified human remains discovered more than two decades ago in Olympic National Park, thanks to advances in forensic genealogy.And finally, the RV Industry Association has quietly lowered its 2026 shipment forecast, creating what may be the best buyer's market RV shoppers have seen in years. We'll explain what the numbers mean and how they could work in your favor if you're considering a purchase.Along the way, Mike shares updates from Hocking Hills, Ohio, where RVCommunity.com members are gathering for the summer rally, and explains why these community events continue to be one of the most rewarding parts of the RV lifestyle.Links, sources, and additional resources for every story are available through the transcript tab.Happy Trails!
