Cam Rogers steps into the Tool Shed and instantly proves why he's one of the most intriguing young Aussies in the Euro peloton. From surviving a brutal first year in Belgium, to rebuilding after knee surgery, to beating Filippo Ganna in a prologue — Cam opens up on the grind, the growth, and the mindset shift that turned him from “not a professional kid” into a genuine WorldTour prospect.He breaks down the politics of development teams, how to earn trust without burning bridges, the art of taking your moment when it comes, and why networking in cycling is almost as important as watts. We dive into his goals for Baby Giro, Worlds, and the hunt for that first pro contract — plus some classic stories about Uncle Mick and the Rogers family legacy.A grounded, smart, no‑bullshit chat with a rider who's got the engine, the attitude, and the trajectory to go all the way.If this episode wasn't enough Detour for you, the good stuff lives at thedetour.online with deeper stories, race breakdowns, and the kind of cycling mayhem we can't fit into a clip.

For this week's episode, we have two guests: Andrew Klaus-Vineyard and Daniel Talbott are the directors of a new documentary short called Welcome to Tool Shed, which opens to the door to an iconic leather bar in Palm Springs. They're just back from showing the film at Cannes, and it'll be popping up at film festivals around the world in the coming months. Daniel and Andrew are longtime collaborators, first with daring theater projects, then with queer horror, and now with a documentary about how a generation that never expected to be senior citizens, and what they have to teach us about not just enduring difficult times, but thriving.

For the full video experience, please watch on YouTube > https://www.youtube.com/@fixingbadwritingIn this episode of The Fantasy Writers' Toolshed, Richie Billing takes on a terrible enemies-to-lovers romantasy story and tries to fix it in real time. Expect bad fantasy romance, stolen magic swords, awkward romantic tension, a suspiciously convenient dragon and a practical look at how to make popular tropes work on the page.This is Episode 2 of Fixing Bad Writing, a writing craft series where Richie deconstructs a weak story draft, explains why it fails, edits it live, then presents a stronger redraft. This time, he steps outside his dark fantasy comfort zone to tackle one of the biggest tropes in romantasy: enemies to lovers.Romantasy might look simple from the outside. Put two attractive enemies in danger, add forced proximity, give them sharp dialogue and surely the chemistry will take care of itself. But good fantasy romance needs more than insults, cheekbones and “kissing probably happening soon”. It needs genuine conflict, believable character motivation, emotional friction and a reason for attraction to grow.Using a deliberately awful AI-generated romantasy draft, Richie breaks down common problems such as rushed attraction, shallow conflict, cliché dialogue, weak worldbuilding and the dreaded trap of insta-love. He then works through the scene as a creative writing exercise, showing how small editing choices can create stronger romantic tension, clearer character dynamics and a more engaging fantasy story.In this episode, you'll learn how to:Build enemies-to-lovers tension that feels earnedAvoid insta-love and rushed romantic attractionCreate better conflict between romantic leadsUse dialogue to reveal character, not just flirtationMake romantasy tropes feel more believableTurn a weak scene into a stronger redraftKeep the fun of a trope while improving the craftThis episode is ideal for romantasy writers, fantasy authors, romance writers, beginner storytellers and anyone looking for practical writing exercises to improve their fiction.Can you write a better “meet-ugly” than the original draft? Listen to the episode, take the romantasy writing challenge and try your own version.

Today on the Soap Box, I'm talking to Jacki Hayes, a systems geek for creative service businesses and someone who's quietly building a very different kind of company. Jacki helps creative service providers stop duct-taping their systems together and build businesses that actually work, with more ease, clarity and flexibility.In our conversation, Jacki makes a simple, slightly spicy point, the kind I like. Running a business is political, not party political, but human political. The way we pay people, the policies we set, who we hire and how we hire them all send a message about the world we're trying to build.Jacki shares the story of how a single job ad – one that offered a real living wage, proper time off and care-led policies that most founders are told are “impossible”, especially at the early stages – completely shifted what success looked like for her. And how that moment went on to shape the way she now helps others build their businesses in a totally different way.All that advice about maximising profit, reducing payroll and the whole “hire the cheapest VA you can find” vibe is the complete antithesis of the businesses Jacki helps people create. She lays out why that model doesn't sit right with her and how you can build business systems that genuinely match your ethics. This is very much her real talk approach to values-aligned business, the kind she also explores on her podcast Here's What I Learned.If you've ever wondered how to grow without losing your values, or how to let your values help you grow, this one is going to land. Jacki's a joy, so I'd invite you to grab a notebook for this one and listen to Jacki get on her soapbox.Jacki's Links:Jacki's upcoming shop, "The Toolshed", a pay-what-you-choose shop filled with tools she's actually used to run her own business. In addition to being full of accessibly-priced tools you'll actually use, 25% of what comes in (revenue not profit) is donated to organisations supporting Black reparations, Indigenous communities, LGBTQ+ rights, and reproductive justice.Jacki's website: www.jackihayes.co Looking for more?Follow Peta on InstagramFind Peta on LinkedInHire Peta to work on your copywriting and brand messaging

In today's episode, I'm speaking with fantasy author and podcaster Richie Billing about his novel, Together We Rise. We had a great conversation about writing, the creative process, fantasy worlds, and even the use of generative AI in music.  Together We Rise is a multilayered story of a revolution that takes place in a fantasy world - maybe the equivalent of something that might have occurred in the 1700s in Europe - there are some factories and all the issues that go with those, but science and other aspects of technology are still in a more medieval age.  The story is told from multiple different characters, each with a small role to play in how the revolution takes place, and sometimes the characters overlap, allowing you to see them from fresh eyes, since each chapter is essentially a different point of view.  Together We Rise wastes no time getting you in the thick of the action!  Richie also used the AI tool Udio to create a theme for each character which you can listen to at the start of each chapter while reading that sets the tone for the pages ahead.  You can find all the tracks here on Soundcloud and Youtube. If you are a writer yourself, please check out Richie's podcast, The Fantasy Writer's Toolshed, which has a wealth of information to help you get started, stay inspired, and fine tune your craft!Learn more about Richie's work on:-Patreon-Facebook-Instagram-Buy Together We Rise on Amazon and other booksellers.Thanks, Richie, for being a guest on the show, and thanks for listening!∞∞∞∞∞∞∞Once Upon a Dream, the second Thirteenth Hour soundtrack, is now out in digital form and on CD!   It is out on most major streaming services such as Bandcamp, Spotify, and YouTube Music.  (If you have no preference, I recommend Bandcamp since there is a bonus track there and you will eventually be able to find tapes and special editions of the album there as well.)  The CDs are out now!-Check out the pixelart music videos that are out so far from the album:-->Logan's Sunrise Workout: www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7SM1RgsLiM-->Forward: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9VgILr1TDc-->Nightsky Stargazing: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2S0p3jKRTBo-->Aurora's Rainy Day Mix: https://youtu.be/zwqPmypBysk∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞ Signup for the mailing list for a free special edition podcast, a demo copy of The Thirteenth Hour, and access to retro 80s soundtrack!Like what you see or hear?

This episode of the Ask Us Anything podcast explores several deep theological questions tied to the current Proverbs sermon series. Pastor Derek begins by unpacking the personification of wisdom in Proverbs, showing how Lady Wisdom ultimately points to Christ, the divine personification of wisdom. He then addresses the nature of joy, reminding listeners that God's gifts are to be received with gratitude, not avoided out of fear of idolatry—citing C.S. Lewis's “Meditation in a Tool Shed” and 1 Timothy 4. Next, he clarifies the personhood and role of the Holy Spirit in the Trinity, warning against reducing Him to a mere “manifestation” of the Father's will and cautioning against modalism. Finally, he explains why Christians are no longer under the Mosaic Law, emphasizing Paul's teaching in Galatians that the law was never a ladder to righteousness but a guide leading us to Christ and justification by faith alone. #ProverbsWisdom #ChristianPodcast #AskUsAnything #JesusIsWisdom #HolySpiritTeaching #JoyAndGratitude #SevenDeadlySins #FaithOverLaw #GraceNotWorks #BiblicalTeaching #SinnerGraceChurch #Galatians3 #CSPodcast #BibleStudy

In this episode of The Rental Journal Podcast, Michael Larsen sits down with Robert Pedersen, President of A Tool Shed Equipment Rental — a fourth-generation, family-run business that's been serving California's Bay Area for over 80 years.Founded in 1945, A Tool Shed began as an Army surplus store called White Elephant Sales selling whatever they could pull from military storage containers. While most items sold, they couldn't move the generators. So, they made a bold decision: instead of selling them, they'd start renting them. This innovative move set the foundation for the company to become a pioneer in the equipment rental industry.Robert shares insights on growing the business to eight locations, the lessons learned over decades of change, and his experience as the 63rd President of the American Rental Association. He also discusses the future of rental and how his company has adapted to an evolving market.This episode was recorded at the 2025 ARA Show in Las Vegas.

Sermon Summary:We just wrapped up our "Unstuck" series exploring the 12 steps, but a question remains: why do we get stuck in the first place? Why do we believe the right things yet live like they're not true? The gap between intellectual belief and lived experience is where we often find ourselves stuck. We position ourselves as observers of truth rather than participants in it.In 3 John 1:3-4, we see joy not in believers having correct theology, but in people walking in the truth. C.S. Lewis captures this distinction in his essay "Reflections in a Tool Shed," where he differentiates between looking at a beam of light versus looking along it. Looking at something is examination; looking along it is experience.Like a couple in love who experiences reality differently than a biologist analyzing their brain chemistry, there's a profound difference between analyzing truth and experiencing it. The most important truths can't be accessed from the outside – you must step inside them.Our problem? We're running on a secular operating system while trying to install kingdom beliefs. Romans 12:2 calls us to "be transformed by the renewing of your minds" – making our mental patterns new again and again. This isn't just reciting facts but transforming our imagination.Hebrews 11:1 describes faith as "the substantiating of things hoped for" – making future realities feel substantial now. The heroes of faith didn't just intellectually believe; they vividly envisioned God's promises, which transformed how they lived.When we get inside truths like Romans 8:18 – that present sufferings aren't worth comparing to coming glory – it changes everything. It expands our frame of reference, making current problems more manageable and giving hope in suffering.Our task is to regularly imagine eternity, not just believe in it theoretically. Let's be disciples of our minds, allowing truth to get inside us so we live as eternal beings in a temporary world.

This is one of the most incredible stories I have ever covered with an ending that sadly, we don't usually see here in the true crime community. When Ethan Walton and Amanda Burney went to sell a piece of land to Glen Gouker they had no way of knowing they were walking into a trap. Ethan is attacked and Amanda is captured and assaulted. This story could easily be a horror film. When Amanda is tied up in a bedroom, she finds a way to free herself and she makes one of the most daring escape attempts I've ever heard of. There are several heroes in this story and several victims. It's a tragic tale of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. It could happen to any one of us.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/dark-hearts-with-stacy-lee-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Toolshed is a platform, a project and a place in Hudson, New York, where artists Susannah Sayler and Edward Morris collect and share tools for ecological living. They have categorized these tools into four distinct groups: food, kin, shelter and magic. Today, we speak to Susannah and Edward about what ecological living means and how Toolshed plays into it. Susannah Sayler and Edward Morris (Sayler/Morris) work with photography, video, writing, installation and open-source projects. Of primary concern are contemporary efforts to develop ecological consciousness and the possibilities for art in support of social movements. From 2006 – 2020 they co-directed The Canary Project, a studio that produced media and art to deepen public understanding of climate change and other ecological issues.

Could we have a season about story without touching on my favourite storyteller, the great Jack Lewis? We could not.Many of us know Lewis as the great author of The Chronicles of Narnia, The Screwtape Letters, or Til We Have Faces. Some of us know him as the everyman theologian who gave us the wartime addresses and Mere Christianity. But there's a lesser-known third part to Lewis: the medievalist. A self-proclaimed dinosaur, Lewis' mind was of another time and this is the secret reason for the richness of his stories. So, we should all be wondering: What is the medieval mind and how did Lewis form one?I'm joined by Dr. Jason Baxter to discuss the medieval mind of C.S. Lewis and how his “breathing the Middle Ages” might be exactly what we need to regain our footing in a world enchanted with truth, goodness, and beauty.Footnotes for this episodeThe Medieval Mind of C.S.

In this episode, Devin and Colton discuss C.S. Lewis' essay "Meditation in a Toolshed" and its application to reading and teaching literature. They explore the difference between experiential knowledge (enjoyment) and analytical knowledge (contemplation), using Lewis' metaphor of a toolshed and a beam of light. They emphasize the importance of both types of knowledge in the need to balance them in reading and teaching literature. The hosts also share their favorite Narnia Chronicles and how they enjoy and contemplate those stories. Takeaways: There is a difference between experiential knowing (enjoyment) and analytical knowing (contemplation). Both types of knowledge are necessary in the study of literature. Enjoying and contemplating literature are both valuable approaches. ---Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/christ--classics/support ***GlossaHouse resources are available at our website! - https://glossahouse.com/ ✏️ ***Sign up for classes with GlossaHouse U - https://glossahouse.com/pages/classes

Exploring the iconic C. S. Lewis essay "Meditation in a Toolshed" from 1945, where Lewis considers two ways of knowing things: "looking at" and "looking along". We might say, contemplating and enjoying. He argues that both are valid and necessary and which one is best depends on the circumstances. However, he points out that "looking along" is far undervalued and often disregarded completely by Western culture. ⁠The Mere Christians Conference in Florida⁠ Find ⁠⁠Andrew Lazo at his own website⁠⁠ or as a regular co-host on the ⁠⁠Pints with Jack Podcast.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Andrew's book "Mere Christians" ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Christin Ditchfield-Lazo's Book "A Family Guide to Narnia"⁠ Find an index of Lewis' essays at ⁠pintswithjack.com/essays⁠ Find more Lesser-Known Lewis —  Online: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠pintswithjack.com/lesser-known-lewis⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠patreon.com/lesserknownlewis⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@lesserknownlewis⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Lesser-Known Lewis Podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Email: lesserknownlewis@gmail.com Graphic Design by Angus Crawford. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/lesserknownlewis/message

Mock draft season is upon us, and Dylan and Geoff dive into their strategies in the ongoing Toolshed mock draft. Dylan took a win-now approach, and currently ranks as the top projected team through 16 rounds. Geoff is the opposite with one of the lowest projected scores for 2024, but a large contingent of young upside hitters. It's the dichotomy of startup dynasty drafts in action.Our Sponsors:* Check out Factor 75 and use my code ba2022pod50 for a great deal: https://www.factor75.com/* Check out Indeed and use my code BASEBALLAMERICA for a great deal: https://www.indeed.com/ Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/baseball-america/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Commonplace Tales: Tales of Imagination––Stories, again, of the Christmas holidays, of George and Lucy, of the amusements, foibles, and virtues of children in their own condition of life, leave nothing to the imagination. The children know all about everything so well that it never occurs to them to play at the situations in any one of these tales, or even to read it twice over. But let them have tales of the imagination, scenes laid in other lands and other times, heroic adventures, hairbreadth escapes, delicious fairy tales in which they are never roughly pulled up by the impossible––even where all is impossible, and they know it, and yet believe. Charlotte Mason, Vol. 1, Home Education Show Summary: Today on the New Mason Jar, Cindy and Dawn chat with friends Angelina Stanford and Timilyn Downey about the building blocks of stories in relation to a Charlotte Mason education How Angelina came to learn about Charlotte Mason Why Timilyn values the building blocks of story so much What are stories versus literature? What is the difference between how modernity sees art and stories and how the medievals saw them? What is wrong with the idea of literature as a mirror or a window? Some metaphors for approaching story Why are unit studies problematic in approaching a Charlotte Mason education? How can you learn the language of literature so that you can teach your children?   Last but not least, the fact that the story does not turn on children, and does not foster that self-consciousness, the dawn of which in the child is, perhaps, the individual “Fall of Man.” Charlotte Mason, Formation of Character   Books Mentioned: Northrop Frye C.
