The Mille Miglia - a daring, 1,000-mile race across Italy - was first held on March 26th, 1927. Using ordinary dirt roads as the racetrack, competitors tore through cities, mountains, and countryside at unprecedented, breakneck speeds. Townspeople lined the streets, waving flags and throwing flowers, as glamorous Bugattis and Alfa Romeos roared past. The first winners, Nando Minoja and Giuseppe Morandi, completed the course in just over 21 hours, averaging an eye-watering 48 mph. They had to dodge wandering farm animals, slow-moving carts, and clueless pedestrians. But for all its romance, the Mille Miglia had a dark side. The combination of high speeds, unpredictable roads, and massive crowds made it incredibly dangerous. The 1938 race saw a devastating crash near Bologna; and in 1957, two separate fatal crashes, including one involving dashing aristocrat Alfonso de Portago, that finally brought an end to the competition in its original form. The event had experienced 56 deaths over its 24-race history. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly reveal how having a skilled navigator/mechanic was just as important as having a fast car; discover the methods ultimate champion Sir Stirling Moss used to win the race in just over 10 hours in 1955; and explain how spectators can still taste the golden age of this iconic race, even in the 21st century… Further Reading: • ‘The first 1000 Miglia in 1927 – The history of the 1000 Miglia' (1000 Miglia Official Website): https://1000miglia.it/en/history-of-1000-miglia/1927-the-first-1000-miglia/ • ‘No seatbelts, 170mph: days of death and dynamism' (The Times, 2015): https://www.thetimes.com/article/f0b41044-bb1c-4694-afc9-947ace151afc • ‘Bracco vince la Mille Miglia' (Archivio Luce Cinecittà, 1952): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V59ZbkF5J40 #Italy #Motoring #20s #Sport Love the show?

When it comes to plague outbreaks in Europe, your mind probably doesn't immediately jump to a so-called dancing plague. Yet that's precisely what seemed to grip Strasbourg, France in the summer of 1518. Townspeople started dancing, seemingly against their will, and couldn't stop for almost a month. Hundreds died of exhaustion, with contemporary commentators blaming the wrath of St Vitus. More recently, people have suspected ergot poisoning, religious fervour, or mass psychogenic illness. So what exactly happened, and how does it relate to folklore? Let's find out in this week's episode of Fabulous Folklore!

Jeremiah 31 NLT read aloud by Simon MacFarlane. 1 “In that day,” says the Lord, “I will be the God of all the families of Israel, and they will be my people. 2 This is what the Lord says: “Those who survive the coming destruction will find blessings even in the barren land, for I will give rest to the people of Israel.” 3 Long ago the Lord said to Israel:“I have loved you, my people, with an everlasting love. With unfailing love I have drawn you to myself.4 I will rebuild you, my virgin Israel. You will again be happy and dance merrily with your tambourines.5 Again you will plant your vineyards on the mountains of Samaria and eat from your own gardens there.6 The day will come when watchmen will shout from the hill country of Ephraim,‘Come, let us go up to Jerusalem to worship the Lord our God.'” 7 Now this is what the Lord says:“Sing with joy for Israel. Shout for the greatest of nations!Shout out with praise and joy:‘Save your people, O Lord, the remnant of Israel!'8 For I will bring them from the north and from the distant corners of the earth.I will not forget the blind and lame, the expectant mothers and women in labor. A great company will return!9 Tears of joy will stream down their faces, and I will lead them home with great care.They will walk beside quiet streams and on smooth paths where they will not stumble.For I am Israel's father, and Ephraim is my oldest child. 10 “Listen to this message from the Lord, you nations of the world; proclaim it in distant coastlands:The Lord, who scattered his people, will gather them and watch over them as a shepherd does his flock.11 For the Lord has redeemed Israel from those too strong for them.12 They will come home and sing songs of joy on the heights of Jerusalem. They will be radiant because of the Lord's good gifts—the abundant crops of grain, new wine, and olive oil, and the healthy flocks and herds.Their life will be like a watered garden, and all their sorrows will be gone.13 The young women will dance for joy, and the men—old and young—will join in the celebration.I will turn their mourning into joy. I will comfort them and exchange their sorrow for rejoicing.14 The priests will enjoy abundance, and my people will feast on my good gifts. I, the Lord, have spoken!” 15 This is what the Lord says: “A cry is heard in Ramah— deep anguish and bitter weeping.Rachel weeps for her children, refusing to be comforted— for her children are gone.” 16 But now this is what the Lord says:“Do not weep any longer, for I will reward you,” says the Lord.“Your children will come back to you from the distant land of the enemy.17 There is hope for your future,” says the Lord. “Your children will come again to their own land.18 I have heard Israel saying,‘You disciplined me severely, like a calf that needs training for the yoke.Turn me again to you and restore me, for you alone are the Lord my God.19 I turned away from God, but then I was sorry.I kicked myself for my stupidity! I was thoroughly ashamed of all I did in my younger days.' 20 “Is not Israel still my son, my darling child?” says the Lord.“I often have to punish him, but I still love him.That's why I long for him and surely will have mercy on him.21 Set up road signs; put up guideposts.Mark well the path by which you came.Come back again, my virgin Israel; return to your towns here.22 How long will you wander, my wayward daughter?For the Lord will cause something new to happen— Israel will embrace her God.” 23 This is what the Lord of Heaven's Armies, the God of Israel, says: “When I bring them back from captivity, the people of Judah and its towns will again say, ‘The Lord bless you, O righteous home, O holy mountain!' 24 Townspeople and farmers and shepherds alike will live together in peace and happiness.

The Chain Reaction of Kindness Cedarville, a small town nestled in the heart of the Midwest, has recently been making headlines, but not for the reasons one might expect. Amidst the barrage of global news, this heartwarming tale from Cedarville stands as a testament to the power of a simple act of kindness. It began on a chilly Monday morning when Jane Patterson, a retired schoolteacher and a long-time resident of Cedarville, found herself stranded on 5th Avenue with a flat tire. With arthritis plaguing her hands and her cellphone battery dead, the situation looked bleak. Enter Mike Thompson, a teenager known for his tech prowess and his affinity for skateboarding, not necessarily for auto mechanics. However, having seen a YouTube tutorial on tire changing and spotting Jane in distress, he decided to offer a helping hand. Within half an hour, with a bit of struggle and a lot of determination, the tire was changed. Jane, overwhelmed by gratitude and without much money to offer, decided to pay Mike in the only way she could think of at that moment: she offered him three of her homemade apple pies, fresh from the oven. Mike's eyes lit up, not just from the tantalizing promise of pie but from the genuine appreciation in Jane's eyes. But the story doesn't end there. Later that week, Mike shared one of the pies with his neighbor, Mrs. Elaine Rodriguez, a widow living with her two cats. Mrs. Rodriguez, touched by this unexpected gift, decided to pay the kindness forward. Using her skill as a seamstress, she mended torn uniforms for the local youth soccer team, free of charge. Amazed by this gesture, the soccer team decided to offer free training sessions for kids in the community. This initiative not only provided skill training but gave many children a constructive and community-building way to spend their afternoons. One of these kids, Lily Mitchell, used her newfound soccer skills to organize community matches, raising funds for the local animal shelter. The shelter, experiencing this unexpected windfall, started a program allowing school children to read to the animals, fostering a love for reading and providing companionship for the animals. This program caught the attention of the local news and soon Cedarville's chain reaction of kindness was making regional headlines. Townspeople, inspired by these events, began finding their own unique ways to contribute, from free music lessons to community clean-up drives. The acts, some big and some small, created ripples of positive change throughout Cedarville. In a recent town hall meeting, Mayor Allen remarked, "What we've experienced isn't just a series of good deeds. It's a movement. It's the embodiment of community spirit, proving that one act, even as simple as changing a tire, can set off a chain reaction with far-reaching impacts." Today, Cedarville stands as a shining example of how communities can come together, with the "Cedarville Kindness Initiative" now being formally introduced in schools, businesses, and local organizations. The story of Cedarville reminds us all that in a world often dominated by vast challenges and cynicism, hope can be ignited by a single act. It tells us that kindness is not just an act, but a lifestyle, one that has the power to transform an entire community.

Frank Murphy's friend Kristen Detrow is today's co-host. When she lived in California, Kristen called herself Kris. Frank is wearing another shirt he bought at the estate sale at Prestige Tuxedo. The shirts belonged to the late father of Eddie Mannis. Kristen loves to shop at estate sales. Frank jokes that he should have a yard sale to sell copies of the book he's trying to write. He started writing his memoirs after losing a radio job but stopped when he started a podcast. Tim Coleman urged Frank to finish the book. Kristen says she will be Frank's accountability partner. Kristen offers to call Frank at 4:00 in the morning. Frank says 4:00 is the worst hour. It's bad for people who stay up late and for people who get up early. Kristen's husband Jeff did morning radio for 35 years. She says he would show up at 6:05 for a show that started at 6:00. Frank tells how he and his coworkers at KROQ would notice that Rick Dees prerecorded the first 90 minutes of his show on KIIS. They had tapes of Rick reacting to earthquakes of various intensity. Frank missed a few Southern California earthquakes because he was traveling when they struck. A lucky leprechaun figurine on the fireplace was the only thing in Frank's house that broke during the 1994 Northridge earthquake. Frank and his wife Jere visited Historic Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary. They saw displays of prisoners' weapons and items smuggled into the prison. Townspeople could get their laundry done at the prison for free. Kristen and her husband took their daughter Mia to Brushy Mountain. They took a guided tour given by a former prisoner named George who did time for blowing up a country club when attempting to break into the safe. Kristen had to translate George's thick accent for Mia. Frank likes regional accents. In East Tennessee, people flatten the long I sound. Kristen and Frank compare California accents. One Sunday, Frank and Jere visited their friend Fr. Michael Woods in Fairfield Glade. After Mass, Frank and Jere went to Buc-ee's in Crossville to get brisket sandwiches. Kristen and her husband Jeff have been to that Buc-ee's and to one near Calhoun, Georgia. Kristen likes to get pecan chicken salad at Buc-ee's. Frank says Buc-ee's was a convenience store but Kristen says it's more than that. Buc-ee's seems to sell their own version of things like Beaver Nuggets instead of cheese puffs or caramel corn. They had free samples of Beaver Nuggets. They sell many kinds of Buc-ee's merchandise including clothing from head to toe. Frank thought it was silly that they sell no-show socks.

Dance crawled until he passed out. He couldn’t say how long he slept, but he was brought back to consciousness by the peaceful sound of his horse cropping grass close to his head. At this he spasmed in fear, rolled onto his back and crab-walked backwards, scrambling for his pistol. His horse looked at him evenly, knowing him for the fool that he was. When Dance realized his situation, he replaced his half–unholstered pistol and said a prayer of gratitude. Then he started looking for his hat.He saw it a few hundred yards out on the prairie next to a burned black circle. He raised his eyes to the horizon and saw the black tower stabbing into the sky. He shook his head and said, “I never did like that hat, anyway.” Then he caught his horse and rode back to town.With Archie in the lead McAllister and ten of the Teamsters crossed the street and made for the Morning Star mine. But before they could get to the mine yard, Jane Siskin stormed into their path. Gone was the dress of the night before and now she was in dusty leathers again. She planted her hands on her hips and said, “Now just where in the hell do you think you're going!?!”Archie said, “And just whom in the hell you imagine you are addressing?""Oh, I ain't talking to you, your highness. These boys in on my payroll and that means they should have the courtesy to inform me before they go off getting in some foolishness. I mean, Clod there don't know no better, but I expected more from you MacAllister.""Enough wi’ your haverin’ woman! My head’s not havin’ ’t this mornin. It’s bright and loud already and your man here is invited us to go for a walk in a nice, cool, quiet cave. So we've decided on a wee stroll." Jane turned her skeptical eye towards Archie.Archie told her of the disappearance of the silver deposits and their replacement with an ancient temple of unknown origin. Jane tried to look tough and unfeeling as he explained, but the memory of the darkness and the vision he had seen there were so fresh in Archie's mind she was captured by his retelling."Besides," concluded Archie, “since the road to Bisbee, and for all we know the entirely of the outside world, is gone, it appears you are out of the freight business and must seek a new line of employment. Might I suggest Archaeology?”"Oh my sweet prince," at Jane with a smile. “It's you who don't get how the world works. Roads and towns come and go, but there is always – always – something that needs hauling. But let's have a look at what's in your root cellar. Then she hooked her arm through his and Archie escorted her across the street as if she had been a guest at the season’s finest ball.As they assembled torches in the yard, Archie looked askance at the miners who stood around in small groups, muttering to themselves, “Bloody fools.”“Why are you so angry at them,” Jane asked, “they're just afraid.”“Superstition offends me. Right to my very core.""You mean to tell me you don't believe in ghosts and spirits?" Asked Jane."Certainly not. I am a natural philosopher. I believe in what I can see with my own eyes, what I can verify with my own senses."“What of God, ye English heathen? Have you seen him?” Asked McAllister good-naturedly as he tied a rag around a length of shattered board.“Carefully recording the wonder of his creation so that we can better understand it, is that not worship?” asked Archie. MacAllister smiled and answered, “Laddie, I’m just grateful when I walk in a church that the roof doesn’t fall in on top of me. They filled a wagon with torches and rolled it as far as the mine tracks would go, then they all lit two torches a piece and advanced into the chamber. The twelve of them spread out in an attempt to fill the chamber with light. But there was something about the darkness. It retreated, but begrudgingly, stubbornly, as if still fighting to clock the secrets of the ancient Temple.Jane asked, "then what was that nasty ol’ DuMont digging up this whole time?"Archie said, "the Miners assure me that there was silver here yesterday.”Jayne said, “Just like the river." McAllister said, “I’ll take a clean river over a foul pit any day."Archie walked along the edge of the room where a great arch opened onto nothing but dark, natural stone. "The curvature of this vault is quite sophisticated, and the interlocking arches would be quite unnecessary if this was merely an underground structure. Which is to say…" Archie trailed off in thought.McAllister chimed in, “Which is to say nothing makes sense to me."Archie outlined what parts of the arch she could reach with his torch and asked, “Doesn't this seem more like a window to you?"“Aye, but it’s daft to build a window underground.”“But it’s not quite underground, is it? Or at least it might not have been when it was built. If we dig away the rock here, this would be open to the sky. We have merely gone into the hill without descending appreciably.” Jane said, “Darling, I love the way your brain is always working, but I don't see why it matters. There ain't no silver here, ain't nothing of value. Just a room we're savages used to kill other savages.""Oh no," at Archie, “Here there is the most valuable commodity of all. Knowledge. And the entertainment of a true mystery. And if your only concern is avarice then what I am saying is that this structure must assuredly have lower levels.""And we’ve a s**t–ton of useless miners out there," said MacAllister."Exactly, now let me see if I can catch a glimpse of the ceiling." Archie strode over to the center of the room and, with a shudder, stepped up on the sacrificial altar. He lifted the torch as high as he could above his head. At first, he thought the darkness was stubbornly congealed above him, like some strange pool of evil night, but as he moved the torch and looked at the shape of the darkness from different angles, he began to see that there was a large mass hanging in the center of the room. “Scaffold, ladders, something to stand on!” cried Archie. Two wooden ladders were brought and lashed together at the top and tethered by rope at the sides. Teamsters held the feet of the ladder on either side of the altar. Torch in his right hand, Archie ascended the shaky, makeshift ladder, white-knuckling the rungs with his left. Perversely, the shape seemed to recede into the darkness above. And Archie felt queasy. He had the feeling that the scale and geometry of this space were wrong, somehow becoming larger the more he advanced into it. “What is it?” cried Jane from below.Weakness washed over Archie and he swayed on the ladder, nearly losing his grip. He pulled himself close to the rungs, and ground his teeth together, forcing his breath through his nose. Without looking up, he climbed the last three rungs and lifted the torch again. The shape was bigger now, and he could almost make it out — almost understand the meaning of its silhouette. If only he could get closer. He stepped even higher on the ladder and now his hips and center of gravity were above the top of the improvised a-frame. His bent knees shook with fear, but he forced himself to stand, holding the torch as high as he could above his head. It started to make sense. There were two long triangles on the bottom, black and covered with tendrils of mold — or was they fur? it was difficult to know because the blackness of this thing swallow the light. He swung a leg over the top of the ladder and put his foot on the topmost rung on the other side. “Be careful!” cried Jane.“I’ve almost made it out…” said Archie as he stood on the wobbling ladder, raising his torch as high as possible into the darkness. The flames from the torch licked one of the corners of the triangles, and there was a sizzling noise, then aroar as the thing caught fire. Flamed rippled up the side of it, and, with a creaking noise, the thing turned its face at Archie and screamed. By the light of his torch and the light of the creature’s own immolation, Archie made out that the thing hanging in the center of the vault was a gigantic bat. It let go of its perch and spread its burning wings, crashing into Archie, shattering the ladder, and sending all of it crashing to the stone below. The Preacher had done a brisk trade all day. Townspeople were flat rattled by the appearance of a river from nothing, then the attack, and the disappearance of the outside world. By now reports had come in of a line surrounding the town beyond which the terrain was different. What was the meaning of this? Was this God’s work or the Devil’s? The End of Days or an unfathomable beginning?In ones and twos they had trickled into his small church all day and by the late afternoon his conversation had turned into an impromptu sermon. The Preacher had never had an experience like this before and can only attribute the words that flowed forth from him as inspired by the Holy Spirit itself. Where there was fear, he sowed hope. Where there was doubt, he sowed faith. "Even the Devil is doing the work of the Lord," he began. "For what can exist without it serving God? That's a hard truth to accept sometimes — may be hard to accept all the time. But God gives us troubles so we can grow. It's might be the end of the world but it’s not the end of God’s plan for you. And you don’t want the end of days to catch you and you be unsaved. ‘Cause you want to be in that number, Lord, when the Saints come a marchin’ in!” “What do you think is going to happen to us?” asked a young woman whose brazen clothing contrasted with her timid manner. A young Magdalene thought the Preacher, cowed by the majesty of a simple chapel.“in this life? Trial, pain, suffering, and death. All that is guaranteed. What is not guaranteed is that you find love and fellowship in the model of Christ. But you can have it. You grow in the world and in Christ to have a full life. But what is an absolute certainty is that you will be tested and then you will die. And after that, well, what happens it's up to you. Eternal damnation or eternal salvation. And as Jesus said, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.’“so the question to ask, my lost and bewildered sheep is not, are we going to die? The question is what happens after that. Are you saved? Have you been saved? Do you want to be saved?"And so it was the Preacher led a procession down to the river’s edge to baptize 13 new souls for the Lord. As he did, he felt proud to be a mighty warrior for Christ.He took off his jacket and waded right through the weeds into the depths of the river. There he raised his hands and cried, "Brothers and sisters, don’t be afraid of the water! Who among ye will go first?" But no one followed. So the Preacher said, "for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son so that you might have life eternal. Compared to that wondrous miracle, that most stupendous of gifts, I ask you, why would God not send a river into the desert so that your soul and your soul and your soul might be saved.”The young Magdalene stepped forward shyly then stopped.The Preacher beckoned her, “Come closer dear. There’s no reason to be afraid. The good Lord parted the Red Sea, saved Moses from the Pharaoh, and he said water into the desert that you might not die, but live eternal."Then Preacher looked down at his leg with some alarm, something had brushed by him under the water – a large something, but conscious of the eyes of his flock upon him, he tried to be brave. With a confidence he didn't feel, he called out to the young Magdalene again. "Come on down here, time to accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior. He’s ready for you darlin’ I promise,” said the Preacher, forcing a smile across his face. She made her way through the reeds and the cold, sucking mud, smiling at the crowd on the bank, then looking down and frowning at what the river was doing to her expensive dress. When she finally stood next to the Preacher he said, “Cross your arms across your chest darlin’.” Then put a hand on her forehead and another hand on the small of her back. “Are you ready to receive Jesus Christ as your personal savior? To receive the gift of Life Everlasting and the eternal love of God?”She nodded. “Are you ready to be born again in the Holy Spirit?”“I am — ahhhhhhhh!” She screamed as something in the water grabbed her leg and dragged her under. In the silence after that horrible scream, the Preacher stood in the water, not knowing what to say. He looked to the believers on shore and saw that they did not understand. And why should they? They had never seen a river baptism. Maybe this was what was supposed to happen. For a moment the preacher found himself, like any desperate performer trying to figure out how to salvage a bit from disaster. Then the creature in the river surfaced in its death roll, flinging the young woman's body into the air for long enough for her to scream in agony and for all to see her broken body washed with a thin mixture of blood and river water. As the screaming began, the Preacher splashed for the shore. Dance had given his horse his head and slumped weakly against the animal’s neck, drifting in and out of consciousness as the horse found his way home. All Dance wanted from the world was to eat some of Speedy Pete’s beans, crawl into the number two cell, lock the door, and sleep secure in the knowledge that the iron bars were enough to protect him from the giant bear of his nightmares. But as he rounded the corner on the main street he saw a group of cowboys on horses in front of the jail.At the head of them sat Nathan Burdock with his hands crossed over his saddlehorn. He yelled into the jail, ”You let my boy out, or this is gonna turn ugly.”Well, thought Dance, at least the jail ain’t on fire.From inside he heard Sleepy Pete's slow drawl, "the sheriff will be back anytime now, you'll see. Then you'll be in all kinds of trouble.""Paw, you get me out of here!" Came Charlie Burdock’s thin cry.“Now, Pete, the Sheriff’s just one man and I don't…" said Nathan Burdock, trailing off when he saw what was left of Dance.Without a word, and without his hat, the Sheriff rode right through the Cowboys, right past Burdock and hitched his horse to the post.“Jesus Christ,” said one of the cowboys.“Fresh from the tomb,” said another, because Dance looked like 20 miles of bad road. Dance paid them none of them any mind. He dunked his head in the horse trough, shook like a dog, then slurped greedily at the water. Nathan Burdock cleared his throat. Then he drew his pistol, cocked the hammer and said, “Sheriff?”Dance turned slowly, holding his hands away from his sides and said, “Why Nathan, I didn’t see you there.” Nathan Burdock smiled and said, “You got my boy in there and I'll be having him.""Don't worry Sheriff, I got a bead on him,” said Sleepy Pete from inside the jail. “Pete, that ain’t reassuring, I know what kinda shot you are,” Dance yelled back at the jail. Then he turned wearily back to Nathan Burdock and said, “Sorry for the interruption, I didn’t want to get accidentally shot.” He swept his gaze across Nathan’s sour-faced ranch hands in front of the jail. “Or on purpose shot, either.” “Just give me my boy and nobody gets shot.” Dance, swayed a little with fatigue and added, “I don’t know what you want that kid for. He’s a real a*****e, I can tell you that.” Nathan Burdock said, “My line’s not long on charm, but I’ll be havin’ him all the same.”“Well, the thing is, I’m supposed to hold him until the circuit court judge comes through from Tuscon. But seeing as Tuscon ain’t there anymore, I guess… s**t… you can have him.” “Whaaaaaaat?” drawled Speedy Pete from inside the jail. “Pete, go on and bring the prisoner out here!”“Sheriff, I don’t think…”“Deputy, it has been a long day and I’m in no mood for an argument.”Burdock lowered his pistol. He looked confused and slightly disappointed to have gotten his way so easily. He was all keyed up for a fight that hadn’t come. He said, “You know, and I know my boy ain’t gonna see no justice from a crooked judge from big-city Tuscon. “Jesus Nate. Take yes for an answer why’dontcha?”“That’s Mr. Burdock to you.” Dance nodded, waving a dismissive hand and said, “Pete, hurry up in there.” Then back to Burdock, “You see, his nickname is of an ironical nature.” Pete unbarred the door. It was a hollow, violent thump that caused the horses and men jump. Burdock’s men were especially skittish with their easy victory, wondering if all this weren’t some kind of strange trick. Pete emerged from the jail with a shotgun and Charlie Burdock in handcuffs. "You sure about this Sheriff? It don't seem right.""Pete, Miguel is dead. And we are in Arizona no more.""Oh no how do you die?""You wouldn't believe me if I told you. So if this old hatchet face b*****d wants to take his jackass kid and ride out of town to get killed – well, saves us tying a noose.”"What are you carrying on about?" asked one of Burdock’s men."Don't pay no mind to his foolishness boys,” said Burdock, not sure what the play was here."I want to hear what he has to say," said another adding, "maybe he can tell us why the little bunkhouse disappeared.""If I had answers, I wouldn't share them with a pack of thugs like you," said the sheriff and he took the shackles from Charlie Burdock's wrists. Charlie grinned at Dance and said, I told you that so I wouldn't hold me, Sheriff." Then he started down the steps.Sheriff Dance’s kick got Charlie square in the right ass cheek and sent him sprawling flat in the street. He turned in the dirt and got up with his fist clenched, mad as hell. But dance just stood on the top of the steps with his hands held out from his sides, smiling like he had won a prize at the fair."Easy boy," said Nathan Burdock."Yeah boy, easy,” said Dance."That's enough out of you!" Burdock snapped at Dance.“Somebody lend me a gun," Charlie said his face red with embarrassment."No,” said Nathan, trying to put a final word to it. One of the ranch hands brought a saddled horse to the front for Charlie. “Sheriff, you cain’t just let him go!” “Pete, there’s no point. There’s no Judge comin’ from Tuscon.” “But he killed a man in cold blood. You cain’t let him get away with that!” Why not, Dance wondered? Hadn’t the man who became John Dance gotten away with it? He's gotten away with killing men all the way here. To this town where everybody smiled when they saw him. Where he had respect and found a way to use violent talents for good. This town and these people, even the roughest of them, generally weren't bad men, and they were still ignorant of how the world had changed around them. Of what they were facing and how lost they really were. This town was gonna fall apart when the truth landed. Charlie snarled, “I didn’t kill nobody in cold blood, he drew first and I shot him.”“You’re that fast, hunh?” asked Dance.“Yes sir, I am! And iff’n you hadn’t blindsided me, I woulda got you too!” said Charlie, ignoring the waiting horse."Let's go home,” said Nathan Burdock.Dance said, “’ cause it's one thing to be steady shooting a man in the back, as you did. But it's another thing entirely to aim and fire when they're shooting back.""They don't get a chance to fire back on account I'm so fast.""Oh boy, you're real scary.""Enough," said Nathan Burdock"Mister, you're lucky I don't have a gun."“is that a fact?" Asked the sheriff. Then he reached out to Speedy Pete’s belt pulled out his pistol.“I forbid this,” said Nathan Burdock.“Forbid what? He’s a free man, just like you wanted. If you got some regrets about his unfortunate character, it's far too late to start raising him now. Here you go, little Burdock,” said Dance as tossed the pistol to the boy. As it flew through the air, there was a tremendous explosion and everyone flinched. Forgotten, the pistol landed in the dirt as everyone turned to see a tremendous cloud of smoke rising up from the Morning Star Mine. The congregation at the water’s edge had recoiled in horror at the gruesome spectacle of the young girl who had tried to give her life to God, but instead had wound up being food for some horrible and still unseen river monster. They pulled the preacher ashore and looked to him for answers, but he had gave none. He ran right through the crowd and kept running up the hill towards the church lost in terror and despair.What was this? The preacher wondered. Oh God, why hast thou forsaken me? That young girl, so beautiful, not innocent of course, but not deserving of this. He remembered the feel of her flesh beneath her dress as she was torn from his grasp. The whole of it was incomprehensible to him. He saw the humble church and ran towards it seeking to take refuge in prayer in the house of the Lord.There was a peal of thunder and black smoke filled the sky. Behind him he heard the screams and cries of the faithful. A cloud of roiling black smoke filled the air and threw it rose a conflagration with wings. As it rose it screamed hatred at all of God's creation. With two mighty wing beats it climbed towards the heavens like something from John of Patmos’ nightmares. On the third beat one of its wings shredded to ash and it spun downwards, out of control, headed right for them. The preacher stopped running thinking that his doom was upon him. He cast his arms out to his side and cried aloud “Take me Lord,” ready to meet his maker.The fiery beast crashed into the church in front of him, pulverizing the chapel with furious beats of its ruined wings. As the steeple fell it burst into flames. The agony of its death throes it screamed at the sky and thrashed what remained of the church to splinters. The scream was so loud it drove the preacher and his followers to their knees, where they clutched their heads against the noise and pain. The bat fell dead in the ruins of the destroyed church. In the silence that followed the smell of burning hair and flesh filled the Preacher’s nostrils.Then the fire leapt to the next building. This is a public episode.

It was 1944...anxiety was at an all time high in most of the United States as World War II raged overseas. Rumors of spies and sleeper cells whispered across small towns. So many households were left with mothers caring for their children and simultaneously working to do their part for their family or the war effort, or sometimes both. In late August, 1944 in the small industrial Illinois town of Mattoon...the town came face to face with terror in their own tiny neighborhoods. A strange figure lurking in the dark - peering through windows late at night, wearing dark clothes, a strange mask or hat, and presumably gassing victims - one house at a time. Townspeople reported strange odors permeating through their homes - causing symptoms such as paralysis, nausea, weakness, disorientation, coughing, and sometimes loss of consciousness. With most of the men fighting courageously across the sea, the women were left vulnerable, and alone. The perfect scenario for a deranged, yet potentially brilliant mind. Who was this Phantom Anesthetist? Who was this Anesthetic Prowler? Why did the attacks subside after more than 2 dozen households affected by the strange gas? Join us this week as we explore the legend of THE MAD GASSER OF MATTOON. Thank you so much for listening, don't forget to tell your friends to check us out, and as always...

Patreon, Socials, Website and everything ATT here: https://linktr.ee/alientheoristspodcastJuly 7th of 1995, saw the opening of the science fiction horror film Species. The feature film quickly became MGM's biggest opening at the time. The plot revolved around a secret U.S. Government program that engineered a living organism from the combination of human and alien DNA. The hybrid creature rampages through the city of Los Angeles leaving a trail of bodies and blood behind it. A similar situation would seemingly unfold in reality on the island Puerto Rico just one month later. August of that very same year would see a flood of reports of a shadowy creature that locals had marked as responsible for a number of mysterious livestock deaths in the months prior where it was claimed that at least some of the bodies had been completely drained of blood. Townspeople from around the capital city of San Juan would report identifying the menacing creature by its glowing red eyes and scale-covered body. A creature that should not have existed outside of twisted nightmares or on a movie screen.

Townspeople begin to calumniate Guru Ji and their work in Nawab Daulat Khan's store (Modi-Khana) while planting seeds of doubts in Jai Ram Ji's mind. Before he is able to say anything to Guru Ji, the knower of all hearts uproots his worries by calmly suggesting that all accounts be checked and they both go to meet the Nawab. Sri Nanak Prakash is a detailed historical account of the life of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji. It was written by Mahakavi (great poet) Bhai Santokh Singh Ji in 1824 (AD) and represents one of the most comprehensive and beautifully written accounts of Guru Ji's life. It is usually associated as a part of the greater text known as Sri Gurpartap Suraj Granth (aka Suraj Prakash) which details the historical accounts of all 10 Guru Sahibs in poetic form. It is an ocean of bliss, knowledge, and experience. It is said that if one listens to the history of the lives of all 10 Gurus through these texts with complete devotion and faith, they can reach enlightenment.

"The Woman, the Townspeople, and Jesus" hos·pi·tal·i·ty: the generous and friendly reception of others.

Suddenly a scream erupts from somewhere outside the tavern. You look at your hand and then up at your opponent. “It looks like we'll have to finish our game another day,” you say as you lay down the cards and follow your companions out the door. The half-orc you were playing throws his cards on the table in disgust. It seems he had a winning hand. You and your companions burst out of the tavern door only to met by a scene of utter chaos. Townspeople ran in all directions except toward the eastern part of town. As you look in that direction you see multiple pillars of smoke indicating houses on fire. As you continue looking around you start to see pillars of smoke from the west, north and south. You stop a nearby townsperson to ask what was going on. Goblins! Legions of them. They've surrounded the city. You let them go and they go off to run to nowhere in particular. “Belgren!” You look to find whoever might be calling your name. You spot one of the city guard running towards you. He reaches you and shouts, “The Goblin Chief has surrounded the city. He has captured the mayor and wants to see you. He says he has a quest for you.” What do you do? Welcome back to the 8th episode of How to Be a Better DM. This is the show to help you tell better stories as a dungeon master while playing Dungeons and Dragons 5e. Like always before we get to today's show, let me give you a quick announcement. I'd like to give a shoutout to Cowchy Audio who does the audio work for this show. If you need help as far as Audio goes, reach out to Cowcy on instagram via @kahootaz Now onto today's show. As a DM, you are generally a large part of the energy of each session.This is natural as you provide 99.99% of the game. So here are my tips for keeping your energy high every session. 1st of all, you do have to realize that this is a skill and you will have to work on it. Think of it as if you are improving your own personal Charisma score. So here we go. Take a break right before your session If you're like me, you go from work right into your D&D session. That can be really tough and I find that if I don't take a break in between anything else and D&D, my energy for the session is very low. Try taking a break in the session Most of the D&D groups I watch on Youtube or podcasts take some sort of break in the middle of their session. I've found that for me personally this is a hit or miss. It is nice to be able to take a pee break without pausing the game in an unexpected way. Slow things down You don't have to go through the session at a break-neck speed. You're working through combat encounters, plot points and anything else your group is trying to do. Take it nice and easy so you can give lots of energy to every endeavor in the session. Let some things go Sometimes getting every rule right is just not worth it. If it keeps your energy high and allows you and your players to keep having fun, just nix whatever is holding you back or down. Be careful, though because this can quickly lead to reducing some very important game structures. Get a good night's sleep beforehand This one might seem like a big “duh!” but if you aren't getting enough sleep then there's no way you'll be able to give your players a fun filled evening of twists and turns with interesting plot points and fun characters. I think this might be a great point to mention that I believe drinking energy drinks or alcohol is not a great tip for making sure you keep your energy high. It's unhealthy. You can do what you want, but I don't see it as a sustainable way, especially if you are playing once a week for months, or even years. Play what and how you and your players want to play If there are parts of your campaign that get dull or boring, switch things up so you are all excited again. If you are following an adventure book, add some things that the book doesn't have. This haunted mansion that my players are going through is something I made...

This may come as a bit of a shock to you, Rebels,but Carmelle told me before our interview that she really doesn't do many podcast interviews. Now you're probably thinking, "Whaaaaaaaat??!!" Here's a lady who is an ideal podcast guest. She's got interesting stories about her fitness journey. She's highly knowledgeable in her field. She paints an honest picture for her clients with their expectations, and when talking about the realities of fitness and nutrition. She's a far cry from the Jack LaLanne trainer who told Sherpa brother that he could (and I'm not making this up) "make his $500.00 gold chain just pop off just by tensing his neck up." Wow, what a useful life skill. So instead, have a listen to Carmelle. She'll take the journey with you. Thanks for coming on the show, Carmelle!

An encounter that always troubles me a bit when I read it is Jesus' encounter with the demon-possessed man, or demoniac. This week we are focusing on the account taken from Mark 5. Through various onscreen adaptations, this encounter has been “fleshed out” to some degree and is usually a bit disturbing. This man lived among the tombs and had not just one demon, but a whole “legion” of demons. The man is not in his right mind. The demons make him do harmful things to himself. And he is beyond the point of being bound up or chained. What is the one thing these demons fear? It is the name of Jesus. Jesus shows up on the scene with his disciples and casts out the demons — into a herd of pigs. The pigs rush to the edge of a cliff, fall off, and are drowned in the water below. The townspeople and farmers connected to these animals are more concerned about their livelihood than the healing of this man. For them, the demon-possessed man living apart from them was the status quo. Jesus interrupted that and now things were uncomfortable for them. They asked Him to leave. This message of this week's encounter is to see clearly we have a calling AND that Jesus holds the power over sin and darkness. We must be open to these truths as we personally encounter Jesus in ways we may not expect. He is always at work.

In this episode, we are diving into three unsolved murder in Iowa. 25-year-old mother Jackie Douthart went missing on May 23, 2011, after a night out with friends. Her body was found almost a year later. Police had serious questions about one of Jackie's friends, a man who supposedly dropped her off after their night out partying. But, police would never get the chance to ask all of their questions about this suspect because he took his own life. Then, in 2012, two cousins, Lyric Cook-Morrissey and Elizabeth Collins were riding their bikes near Meyers Lake when they went missing. Townspeople came forward to report a suspicious white SUV driving around town and near the lake. The authorities found the bikes of both girls very quickly on a trail near the lake. But, it was 5 months before their bodies were discovered in a wildlife park about 25 miles from their home. Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss these disappearances and murders from the state of Iowa. Did the police's prime suspect kill Jackie Douthart? And was it a local person or someone just passing through that abducted and murdered Lyric and Elizabeth?

Because of the increasingly violent mobs in Boston, Parliament sent 2,000 British troops to occupy and control the town.

Main Street USA, particularly at Walt Disney World in Orlando, is now the prime location for parades, photos of Cinderella Castle, as well as Castle stage shows and projection shows. If you take the time, then you will find that there’s so much more to Main Street USA. There’s shopping, dining, character greetings and more. I love the people of Main Street USA, including the Mayor and Townspeople. It gives you the feeling of actually being in that time period. They are always eager to interact with you.

Hop in My Sack is an Italian story collected by the Italian writer Italo Calvino. The version he published was considerably longer, featuring a few more (mis)adventures for the young hero; we streamlined it for our podcast, which was already running long enough. Because we have come all the way from Alabama to California in the last month, and although we didn't bring a banjo on our knee, we did do a lot of other fun things. There was Sloss Furnaces in Birmingham (a gigantic abandoned steel mill that you can tour); the birthplace of Elvis in Tupelo, MS; Beale Street and the pyramid in Memphis; Pioneer Village in Searcy, AR; the National Weather Center in Norman, OK; the Land Run Monument in Oklahoma City; the Slug Bug Ranch near Amarillo (it's a Volkswagen version of the Cadillac Ranch); Petroglyph National Monument in Albuquerque; the Petrified Forest in Arizona; and Goldfield in Arizona (a restored mining ghost town). And at the same time we managed to brave some incredibly chilly weather almost everywhere; buy a new RV, move into it and sell the old one; and continue our daily dance steps in our Dance Across the Nation. Meanwhile, we also met up with Kimberly's two sisters and brother and an aunt and some nieces and nephews that we met previously; and she met another brother for the first time. Enjoy the podcast while we catch our breath. Happy Listening, Dennis (Narrator, Father, Lorenzo) and Kimberly (First Son, Second Son, Fairy, Boy, Doctor, Robber, Death, Townspeople)
