Did you know forgiveness is a decision? Welcome to Flourish-Meant, where we explore transformative paths to spiritual and emotional growth. In today's episode, we delve into the liberating power of forgiveness with special guest Carla Shelton—speaker, author, and host of the Monday Manna One Minute Inspirational Show on YouTube. Drawing from her own journey of overcoming hurt, resentment, and bitterness in the workplace, Carla shares why forgiveness is not merely a feeling but a decisive choice. Together, we'll uncover common misconceptions about forgiveness, the impact of unresolved pain, the process of letting go, and the importance of establishing healthy boundaries. Whether you're struggling to release past wounds or seeking freedom in your relationships, Carla's wisdom will guide you toward the empowerment and healing found when you choose to forgive. Key Takeaways from Our Conversation with Carla Shelton Forgiveness Is a Decision, Not a Feeling Many believe forgiveness must be felt, but as Carla shares, it's actually a conscious choice—a commandment that brings freedom regardless of your emotions 12:10. Understanding What Forgiveness IS and ISN'T Forgiving does not excuse or condone someone's actions. It is not giving someone a "get out of jail free card"—it's about releasing yourself from bitterness and pain 05:36. Forgiveness Is Layered and May Take Time Healing sometimes requires peeling back emotional layers, especially if you've suffered deep wounds such as ongoing abuse or betrayal 03:19. You Can Forgive Without Reconciliation Forgiveness and reconciliation are separate processes. You can set healthy boundaries while still releasing forgiveness, even if the other person isn't sorry or doesn't change 13:47. Taking Action: Carla's Practical Steps Carla recommends journaling your feelings, expressing them in prayer, and releasing negative emotions to God. Sometimes, as in her own journey, forgiveness also means blessing those who hurt you 09:00, 21:02. Inspirational Scripture "A person's wisdom makes them patient. They will be honored if they forgive someone who sins against them." — Proverbs 19:11  Connect with Carla Shelton Book: Forgiveness is a Decision (Available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Trilogy, and more) Website: carlashelton.com YouTube: Monday Manna Inspiration (one-minute spiritual encouragements weekly) Reflect & Flourish Are you holding on to any bitterness or resentment?

Clearing the Noise to Accelerate Execution In a world driven by intentional clutter, endless to-do lists, and over-engineered applications, hosts Mark Cardone and Theron Feidt dedicate this milestone episode to the ultimate success filter: Simplicity. True genius isn't creating a concept that looks dense and complicated just to confuse people; genius is the ability to boil massive ideas down to their absolute core so they can be seamlessly executed. Whether you are running an elite martial arts dojo or structuring a scaling enterprise, complicating your process is a mask for hiding a lack of clarity. In this tactical blueprint, Mark and Theron outline how to aggressively pare down your thoughts, your schedule, and your core mission so you can stop wasting critical energy and start moving the needle. Key Frameworks & Action Steps Action Step 1: Establish Simplicity of Thought (Sharpen the Signal) When your mind is constantly flooded with shallow inputs, your decision-making agility cracks. Achievers purposefully install mental filters to quiet the noise and gain immediate clarity. The One-Question Filter: Before pulling the trigger on a new initiative or micro-task, run it through this unshakeable lens: "Does this active decision explicitly move my result?" If the answer isn't a hard yes, it is an engineered distraction. The 20-Minute Input Blackout: Dedicate a non-negotiable window every single day to complete sensory silence. Turn off your notifications, shut down the news, and step away from all streaming content. Give your brain the tactical margin it needs to digest information and solve deep problems. If twenty minutes makes you nervous, start with ten—but pull the plug on the noise. The Top 3 Rule: Stop working off an exhaustive to-do list of twenty items. If everything is important, nothing is. Limit your active daily focus to your Top 3 Priorities at one time. Once those are finished, you can cleanly pull secondary items into your priority bucket. Action Step 2: Implement Simplicity of Action (Lighten the Load) High productivity is not about adding more busywork to an already bursting calendar; it is about aggressively removing low-value friction so your focus can compound. Plan the Night Before: Never enter your morning on the defensive. Before your head hits the pillow, identify the single highest-impact action step that will move the needle tomorrow. Schedule it first so you hit the ground running without burning precious willpower on trivial morning choices. The D.E. Filter (Delegate or Eliminate): Conduct an aggressive operational audit using the classic A-B-C-D-E time matrix guidelines: Delegate (The 80% Rule): If a team member can handle an essential task at least 80% as effectively as you, hand it off immediately. Free yourself up to operate exclusively in your highest strategic zone. Eliminate: Ruthlessly locate the deep habits and activities that do not actively serve your vision, business growth, or relationships, and permanently erase them from your schedule. Action Step 3: Simplify Your Purpose (The Decision Compass) Fulfillment requires a streamlined North Star. If you cannot describe why your business or character exists in a clear, brief sentence, your daily execution will default to chaos. The One-Sentence Purpose Statement: Reject long, paragraph-length corporate mission statements that read beautifully but mean nothing in active practice. Boil your overarching vision down to a crisp, concise, single sentence (e.g., "Team Leader," "Joy Bringer"). The Mirror Reminder: Take your purpose sentence and physically anchor it to your environment—write it boldly across your bathroom mirror. Successful people do not need to be taught what to do, but they do require sharp, immediate daily reminders of who they are choosing to be. Speak It Out Loud on Hard Days: When operations hit an inevitable speed bump and frustration peaks, stand in front of the mirror, change your posture, and clearly speak your purpose statement out loud to the room. Hearing your own voice declare your absolute coordinates cuts through emotional clutter and instantly resets your trajectory. "Simplicity is the canvas of peak performance. When you complicate your thinking, you anchor your execution. Pick your Top 3 needle-movers today, cut the noise, and execute."

What if the three most famous Psalms in the Bible are actually one story, and that story was pointing to Jesus all along?In this episode, we dive into a Bible study on Psalms 22, 23, and 24. These psalms were written by King David nearly a thousand years before the New Testament, and biblical scholars refer to them as the "Shepherd's Trilogy." Hidden within these psalms is a stunning prophetic timeline of the death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus. In our Psalms 22-24 Bible study, you'll learn:[06:26] Psalm 22 Crucifixion Prophecy: How David described Jesus on the cross in vivid detail, down to the pierced hands and divided garments, nearly 1000 years before the crucifixion[08:22] A Lesson from King David: How to feel the full weight of your pain and bring it to God the way David did to experience an unexpected peace and lightness[12:19] The "Bookend" Revelation: The jaw-dropping message Jesus sent to the Jewish crowd from the cross by quoting both the first and last lines of Psalm 22[19:25] The Real Meaning of Psalm 23: Why the rest, restoration, and “quiet waters” of this beloved passage only make sense through the lens of Christ's suffering[27:42] Psalm 24 and Palm Sunday: How this triumphant praise Psalm connects to the Ark of the Covenant, Handel's Messiah, and Jesus' final entry into Jerusalem on Palm SundayPsalms Show Notes:Psalms RoadmapPsalms Playlist on Apple MusicPsalms Playlist on SpotifyPsalm 8 (Hallé) by Phil WickhamACTS Prayer GuidePsalms Prayer List - Coming Soon!Group Discussion Questions for Psalms 22-24:[08:22] David vented his pain to God and then pivoted to praise, not because the suffering stopped, but because he transferred the burden. Is there something you are carrying right now that you haven't fully laid at God's feet?[20:27] God put David through “shepherd school,” Moses through the wilderness, and Esther through the royal court. In your life, what season or "school" has God put you through, and what do you think He was preparing you for?[23:16] People and sheep have a lot in common. What characteristics of a sheep can you most see in yourself: defenseless, needing constant care and to be led to (spiritual) food and water, resisting rest, or fearfulness.Contact Bible Book Club!Social: Instagram or FacebookWebsite: Bible Book ClubReview Us: Apple Podcast or SpotifyJoin the Fun: DONATE or Buy merchThis episode is part of our ongoing Bible Book Club series, starting with Genesis and journeying all the way through the Bible.

This episode of TriloTalk explores how health literacy goes far beyond simplifying language. It requires consistency, testing, and truly meeting patients where they are. Poor communication can have serious consequences, from medication misuse to reduced trust and engagement in clinical trials. Lisa Chamberlain James, Senior Partner at Trilogy, Elizabeth Brown, Executive Director Clinical Transparency at Merck, and Maureen Kashuba, Senior Director Health Literacy at Merck, discuss this and the importance of partnering together, regardless of what organization you are a part of, to best serve patients across the world.

This week Black on Black Cinema finally gives Sugar Hill (1994) the deep analysis it deserves. Directed by Leon Ichaso and written by Barry Michael Cooper — the architect behind New Jack City and Above the Rim — Sugar Hill is the second and most emotionally dramatic entry in Cooper's Harlem Trilogy. Wesley Snipes as Roemello Skuggs, a high-level Harlem drug dealer who wants out. He's got money, power, a woman he loves in Melissa (Theresa Randle), and a future waiting for him if his volatile brother Raynathan (Michael Wright) and the game itself will let him leave.We break down what makes Sugar Hill flawed but still underrated. Cooper's layered screenplay that tries to give Roemello genuine intellectual depth (Georgetown scholarship-eligible, chess player, art collector), Michael Wright's explosive performance as the brother who can't escape the past, and Leon Ichaso's atmospheric direction that turns Harlem into a character of its own. Terence Blanchard's jazz-inflected gives the film a serious connection to Spike Lee's own work. Clarence Williams III steals scenes effortlessly, and Ernie Hudson has a good time as a villain this time around.We discuss why it got overshadowed by New Jack City, how it works to keep the idea of Wesley Snipes being one of the coolest dudes in this era. Sugar Hill has its flaws from scenes that in hindsight are oddly placed (potentially post edit bay issues), some characters who aren't as explored as actual human beings, but there is still something here worth talking about and the effort of making a gentlemen gangster film with the same actor who was notorious for playing one of the most brutal gangsters in the 90s era is something to admire here.Black on Black Cinema is a long-running podcast featuring in-depth Black movie reviews and frank conversations that matter to the Black community.

In this episode Brian does the unthinkable and finally picks the Original 1977 "Suspiria". This Italian horror classic has been on the list for an episode since the FM3 started this podcast many many moons and meatballs ago.  After last week's episode "Inferno" which is the second of the 3 Mother's Trilogy by Argento, Brian needed to go back and start at the top with what is his personal favorite Italian horror film. There are so many reasons why this one floats to the tippy top of the heap of mediocre Italian horror and if you have not seen it yet, you are truly missing out. Argento is a master and nobody's movies look like early Argento horror.  Brian, Jef and Josh were really happy to just watch a few decent movies after a long list of duds. It's a Nice! But do not fret dear listeners, Josh's pick is coming soon and the guys will be right back on the Charles BAND wagon! So enjoy it for now!

"The new owners of Fender since 2020 are attempting to own the copyright on the Stratocaster body. A German court has taken them part of the way but most experts don't believe it will hold up to scrutiny. Nonetheless, Fender has sent Cease and Desist letters to multiple guitar makers telling them to stop production, call back orders and destroy stock. Fender may have just committed brand suicide because history is not on their side."

The Fly (1958), Return of the Fly (1959), and Curse of the Fly (1965) Among the many films in which deviant mad scientists pay the price for meddling with forces beyond human understanding, The Fly stands apart. Released in 1958, it presents a scientist whose intentions are genuinely noble: someone striving to create something that could benefit humanity. Unfortunately, an unforeseen accident turns his dream into a nightmare, and tragedy soon follows. While the film ultimately becomes a monster story, it offers far more than a typical 1950s creature feature. And, of course, when a film succeeds at the box office, sequels are inevitable. In this case, two followed, even if the third took six years to arrive. Across all three films, the Delambre family's experiments—and mistakes—continue, once again exacting a terrible toll in life, sanity, and suffering. Fans often disagree about which entry is the strongest, which is underrated, and which falls short, so we decided to take a deep dive into the entire trilogy. Along the way, we may give you a few new things to think about the next time you watch these films. And if you hear any buzzing while listening to the show, I'm sure it's nothing. Films mentioned in this episode: The Black Cat (1989), The Black Room (1935), Blood Feast (1963), The Blues Brothers (1980), Bride of Frankenstein (1935), Curse of the Fly (1965), The Death Dealers aka Psychomania (1973), Demonia (1990), The Devil's Honey (1986), The Exorcist (1973), The Face of Fu Manchu (1965), The Fly (1958), The Fly (1986), Frankenstein (1931), The Ghost of Frankenstein (1942), Kiss of the Vampire (1963), Mark of the Vampire (1935), Murders in the Rue Morgue (1932), The Phantom of the Opera (1925), Psycho (1960), Rasputin the Mad Monk (1966), Return of the Fly (1959), Space Master X-7 (1958), Touch of Death (1988), To the Devil a Daughter (1976), The Vampire (1957), Witchcraft (1964)

Boris Karloff's portrayal of Frankenstein's Monster remains one of the most iconic performances in horror history. In this episode, we explore how the character evolves across three classic Universal monster films: Frankenstein, Bride of Frankenstein, and Son of Frankenstein. Beginning as a misunderstood creation driven by instinct and fear in Frankenstein, the Monster develops emotional depth and self-awareness in Bride of Frankenstein, before becoming a weary and tragic figure manipulated by others in Son of Frankenstein. We'll examine how Karloff's performance, makeup, body language, and character development helped transform the Monster from a cinematic villain into one of horror's most sympathetic characters. Join us as we analyze the complete arc of Frankenstein's Monster and discuss why Boris Karloff's interpretation continues to influence horror films more that 90 years later.

In this episode, Jo shares the June 2026 Flying Stars Feng Shui forecast, beginning from 5 June 2026 at 11:50pm, becoming more noticeable from 6 June onwards. June arrives with exceptionally strong Fire energy. We are already in Period 9, a 20-year Fire period, and 2026 is the Yang Fire Horse year. As we move towards the summer solstice on 21 June, the Fire element becomes even more pronounced. Fire is associated with: Visibility Reputation Fame Recognition Marketing Branding Performance Illumination Exposure Expansion This makes June a powerful month for anyone working with public presence, creativity, performance, media, communication, reputation-building or personal visibility. At the centre of the chart, the Flying Star 4 arrives, bringing themes of popularity, creativity, study, romance, writing, learning and communication. Because the centre influences the whole chart, these themes ripple through the entire month. Jo also revisits the Trilogy of Luck: Heaven Luck — the stars, timing, BaZi and cycles we cannot change, but can read and understand. Earth Luck — the Feng Shui of our homes, rooms, sectors, furniture and physical environment. Man Luck — the choices we make, the actions we take, and how consciously we work with the energy available. The episode then moves through each sector of the home for June 2026. The South contains wealth potential, but also pressure. This sector can support prosperity, especially for those who benefit from Fire energy, but it should be kept peaceful and quiet due to the annual misfortune star. The Southwest brings auspicious energy for new beginnings and longer-term wealth. Spending time here, or sitting with your back to the southwest, can help draw in supportive energy. The West supports success, authority and helpful opportunities. It is a useful sector for increasing recognition and results. The Northwest needs care, as a difficult monthly star brings potential challenges. Avoid renovations, loud noise or heated arguments in this area. The North holds surprising prosperity potential, including unexpected opportunities or windfalls. However, because the annual Six Killings energy is also present, this sector should be used calmly rather than aggressively activated. The Northeast is creative and supportive for study or writing, but may also carry a risk of misunderstanding, gossip, betrayal or unclear intentions. Use this area gently and avoid mean-spirited dynamics. The East is one of the more supportive sectors for completion. This is a strong area for finishing projects, meeting deadlines, wrapping things up and seeing earlier work come to fruition. The Southeast brings movement, growth and momentum, but also conflict or impatience. It can help with procrastination, but needs to be handled carefully to avoid arguments or impulsive reactions. Jo then looks at how June 2026 may affect the Chinese zodiac animals. The Rat clashes with the Horse, making June busy, stimulating and potentially demanding — but also lucky for wealth and opportunity. The Ox should be mindful of communication and misunderstandings. The Tiger combines with the Horse, increasing Fire energy, motivation and momentum, but also impatience. The Rabbit benefits from completion energy and may see results from earlier efforts. The Dragon and Snake should avoid drama, politics and unnecessary conflict. The Horse experiences amplified energy and should be mindful of self-penalty, overdoing things or becoming its own obstacle. The Goat is well-supported by the Horse and may enjoy cooperation, visibility and relationship growth. The Monkey benefits from new beginnings and a lift in energy. The Rooster may find June successful, with helpful people and problem-solving opportunities. The Dog combines with the Horse but may face complications, delays or unexpected challenges. The Pig has generally steady energy but should avoid unnecessary risks and protect health and energy levels. Jo closes the episode by inviting listeners to get in touch for Feng Shui, BaZi or Qi Men consultations, and to join the Patreon family for daily Qi updates.

Byrd, Kevin and Lux discuss Toho's live action adaptation of 20th Century Boys, the beloved manga by Naoki Urasawa (Monster, Pluto).  It tells a story over several decades of a group of childhood friends that reunite when they realize a doomsday cult led by a masked leader named Friend is using elements from a story they wrote as children to carry out mass murder and position himself as a false savior of humanity.  Throughout the trilogy, as Friend gains power and influence in the world, our heroes try to learn his true identity and stop him from world domination.  There's giant robots, airborne viruses, underground freedom fighters, plenty of kaiju and tokusatsu references, and more!  We'll talk about how the trilogy compares to the manga, the challenges of adapting such a sprawling story into film, and some of the real life events and cultural shifts that influenced the story. But first we discuss the recent passings of author Koji Suzuki, actor Kenji Ohba, and director/effects artist Yoshihiro Nishimura.  Relax and enjoy the show!

Tell and Wren face a wraith—a sorcerer gone rogue—in this third and final book in the Children of the Black Glass middle grade fantasy series. Now a captive in Desert's house, Wren learns the evil sorcerer has melded herself into a human body to become a wraith. Wielding even more power, more strength, and more magic than ever before, Desert's still not satisfied…not until she consumes Wren's too. Tell will stop at nothing to save his sister, and while he lacks magic himself, he discovers one of their friends has mystical powers and is as determined as Tell is to save Wren—the girl who once saved him. Separated for the first time, Tell and Wren are both left to rely on their quick wits, mountain training, and allies old and new to vanquish Desert once and for all. As desperate sorcerers prepare to battle the twisted wraith, they know losing would mean losing the city of Halfway…and each other. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

"Sony Music Publishing confirmed an agreement to acquire Blackstone's Recognition Music Group catalog for $3.5 billion. The Red Hot Chili Peppers just sold their catalog for $300 million. Other Funds are raising billions to start buying. These buyers are called Music Rights Funds. I became interested in how these Funds actually made money. How does one invest and can I sell my own music. I have the answers for you."

"It is no secret that music contracts can be rather brutal on artists. Often the stories focus on not getting paid but there is also the interesting idea of a lawsuit ordering a musician to fill his or her contract and record what we are calling a court ordered album.

I know online lists usually have some click bait to start conversation but this list was overtly egregious. Not for who was on it. It was who was left off. We will go over the list and play some artists that should have been on there."

Colson Whitehead is one the few novelists, and the only still alive, to win two Pulitzer Prizes for Fiction—for “The Underground Railroad” and “The Nickel Boys.” Whitehead's protagonist in the Harlem trilogy is Ray Carney, a small-time crook who fences stolen goods while working as a furniture salesman. Ray first appeared in “Harlem Shuffle,” and the final book of the trilogy, “Cool Machine,” will be published in July. David Remnick and Whitehead discuss the trilogy's second book, “Crook Manifesto,” and how David Bowie inspired Whitehead's genre-hopping approach to fiction. This segment originally aired on July 21, 2023. Further reading and listening:  “The Theresa Job,” by Colson Whitehead “Colson Whitehead on Historical Heists,” by Deborah Treisman “The Match,” by Colson Whitehead   New episodes of The New Yorker Radio Hour drop every Tuesday and Friday.

Several years ago, while Bookbarella was away for a few months, this 1980s fantasy book appeared on her desk and no one ever admitted to leaving it there. She saw a wizard on the cover and tossed it into the future TBC pile, thinking nothing of it. Years later, she was consulting a friend about which books she should pick for TBC episodes this year and he helpfully reminded her that the wizard on the cover is a bit different from most wizards you see on fantasy book covers - he's sitting in a shitty apartment, having just cracked open a foaming beer above a bag of potato chips spilled on the floor. Naturally, she couldn't pass this one up. Today's episode includes our usual barnyard language. TBC is an AI-free production. Audio by Oselka Sound.  

This week, Josh and Drusilla watched the very cozy Burnt Offerings. From wiki: “Burnt Offerings (Italian: Ballata macabra, lit. 'Macabre ballad') is a 1976 supernatural horror film co-written and directed by Dan Curtis and starring Karen Black, Oliver Reed, Bette Davis, and Lee H. Montgomery, with Eileen Heckart, Burgess Meredith and Anthony James in supporting roles. It is based on the 1973 novel by Robert Marasco.[7] The plot follows a family which begins to interpersonally dissolve under supernatural forces in a large estate they have rented for the summer. The film's title derives from the Book of Leviticus, referring to a "sacrifice by fire" and a "gift offered to God."[8]Also discussed: Marilyn Monroe's 100th Birthday, The Silver Book: A Novel by Olivia Laing,  Backrooms (2026), I Love Boosters (2026), Watcher in the Woods (1980), Return from Witch Mountain (1978), Girls Just Wanna Fun (1985), The Midnight Hour (1984), Dark Shadows, Trilogy of Terror, Day of the Locust, Ruben and Ed, Phantasm, The Sentinel, The Legacy, Alliosn's Birthday, and more. NEXT WEEK: Dracula's Daughter (1936)Bloodhaus: https://www.bloodhauspod.com/https://www.instagram.com/bloodhauspod/https://letterboxd.com/bloodhaus/Drusilla Adeline:https://www.sisterhydedesign.com/https://letterboxd.com/sisterhyde/https://www.instagram.com/sister__hyde/Joshua Conkelhttps://www.joshuaconkel.com/https://www.instagram.com/joshua_conkel/https://letterboxd.com/JoshuaConkel/

"Many summer tours are having to scale back or cancel altogether. The nickname given to this practice is Blue Dot Fever. It is named after the blue dots that appear on unsold seats when a ticket buyer uses Ticketmaster. It has become indicative of a larger societal and financial concern that is leading to people not being able to attend live music. We will explain."

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Hema Gupta, author of the book The Things We Never Said Out Loud. A third-year medical student by day and confessor of silenced truths by night, the author behind the things we never said out loud exists in the liminal space between diagnosis and disclosure, between the clinical and the confessional. With hands trained to heal the body and a pen that excavates the soul, they understand that both medicine and poetry are acts of witnessing, of looking at what others turn away from and naming it with precision and tenderness.   In the things we never said out loud, available through Barnes & Noble, they turn their gaze inward to the unspoken territories we all inhabit: the secrets that calcify in our chests, the truths that live just beneath our tongues, the confessions we rehearse in darkness but never release into light. This debut collection proves that sometimes the most powerful medicine is simply giving voice to what we've kept buried.   As a new voice in contemporary poetry, they are building a community of readers who recognize themselves in these unearthed truths. You can follow their journey at the intersection of scalpel and stanza on social media @hemaabemaa, where healing and writing continue their conversation.   In my book review, I stated The Things We Never Said Out Loud is a book of poetry by Hema Gupta. These poems look at a relationship between a man and a woman focusing on what they think of one another, what others think of them, and what they think of themselves. Although not usually into poetry, I felt this volume was very relatable and down-to-earth. I could see myself, especially as a younger woman. I also found the verses to be fun and flirty, with a bit of an edge that felt slightly dangerous - or at least emboldened.   I don't understand the hows and whys of poetry, but these poems caused me to think back on days of early love. Those days when you want it to last but wonder if it will. When you hope it is going somewhere but sometimes your doubts get in the way. For me, as a newly widowed woman, they made me pine for a love that will never be again.   I'd say, give this book of poems a try. I think you'll like them.   Subscribe to Online for Authors to learn about more great books! https://www.youtube.com/@onlineforauthors?sub_confirmation=1   You can follow Author Hema Gupta IG: @hemaabemaa   Purchase The Things We Never Said Out Loud on Barnes & Noble: Paperback: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-things-we-never-said-out-loud-hema-gupta/1147360260   Teri M Brown, Author and Podcast Host: https://www.terimbrown.com FB: @TeriMBrownAuthor IG: @terimbrown_author X: @terimbrown1   Want to be a guest on Online for Authors?

We are continuing on with Nora's most recent trilogy and we have ...thoughts. The Mirror (2024) picks up right where The Inheritance left off, and we have SO MANY questions. But does this book have any answers? Come listen in, as we aren't holding back.

"This is a requested topic from a friend. He wondered if we had ever discussed steel drums. We had not so we did a show. We have some history and some discussion of tuning and prices. There are also a lot of songs that use the steel drum you may not have noticed before."

We're getting into a memorable yet nowadays still criminally underrated portion of STAR WARS history: The Dark Empire Comic Book Trilogy!   How do the official audio books compare?   Why couldn't Disney just make something else prior to writing these out of the Expanded Universe?   What ideas and other originality are strikingly memorable?   What famous comic book writers & illustrators assembled this stunning good vs. evil tale?   Plus, for the 2nd part of the episode, I get to breakdown all the issues for you in as epic a summary as possible!     GUESTS: Oreo Brewer   AUDIO INTRO: Mark Hamill Talks Dark Empire Trilogy and gives a message to Timothy Zahn (1996 Ad)   MUSIC USED: "The Destruction of Xizor's Palace" by Joel McNeely (Shadows of the Empire OST)

The U.S. State Department's Pax Silica initiative reframes Pax Americana for the AI age — chips, semiconductors, critical minerals, energy, data centers, payment rails. This week in Beijing, two of the Trilogy of Boards Patrick Wood predicted clicked into place. The Trilogy is now whole. In this two-and-a-half-hour conversation, Courtenay Turner and Patrick Wood — co-authors of The Final Betrayal: How Technocracy Destroyed America — walk the architecture being built around you: Pax Silica, the IMEC corridor, the Abraham Accords as the template for the China play, the Five Walls boxing China in, Gaza's new order under the Board of Peace, Taiwan as silicon shield and silicon hostage, the tokenization of property and the New York Stock Exchange, the occult roots of the technocratic movement, and how to think about preserving sovereignty, autonomy, and property in a rapidly closing system.
