EPYSODE 63: "Six Ways To The Ace" by As Sheriff. Guests: As Sheriff band members Reid Hudson and Andy Godon, Supreme Echo record label owner Jason Flower. Additional commentary by Uncle Herff. This week we dig deep into the hazy archives of Canada's late-60s underground with "Six Ways to the Ace", a new release from Supreme Echo featuring the long-lost recordings of As Sheriff. Emerging from the Victoria/Vancouver scene, As Sheriff blended shimmering folk harmonies with a psychedelic edge, a sound as coastal as it was cosmic. We explore how these reels of tape survived half a century, what they reveal about a vibrant yet overlooked West Coast music scene, and how bassist Reid Hudson's journey from local gigs to May Blitz links this forgotten band to the heavier chapters of rock history. This album is a revelation...and a resurrection. I hope you dig "Six Ways To The Ace" as much as I do. - Farmer John ===CONNECT & SUPPORT=== Transport yourself into the realm of grooviness by supporting us on Patreon using this link --> patreon.com/FarmerJohnMusic Use this link to follow us on Facebook --> https://www.facebook.com/farmerjohnmusic/ Use this link to follow us on Instagram --> https://www.instagram.com/vinylrelics/ Use this link to follow us on TikTok --> https://www.tiktok.com/@vinylrelicspodcast Use this link to follow us on BlueSky --> https://bsky.app/profile/farmerjohnmusic.bsky.social And find us on X @VinylRelicsPod Email me @  ⁠farmerjohnmusic@gmail.com⁠ ===LINKS=== Check out Supreme Echo's stuff here: https://supremeecho.com The As Sheriff songs are not available on Spotify, but you can hear them hear on Bandcamp: https://supremeecho.bandcamp.com/album/as-sheriff   ===THE MUSIC=== Songs used in order of appearance. There is no Spotify playlist available for this Epysode as the album is not available there.

Ariel called to Leora, one of the librarians.He: "בליל אמש ראיתי שוב את האורות."En: "Last night, I saw the lights again."He: אבל ליאורה, אישה טובה, רק חייכה בעייפות.En: But Leora, a kind woman, just smiled tiredly.He: "אלה רק מטוסים," היא ענתה, אם כי עיניה הביעו חיבה לאמונה התמימה שלו.En: "They're just airplanes," she replied, though her eyes expressed affection for his innocent belief.He: אבל אריאל לא הניח לדבר.En: But Ariel didn't let it go.He: בלילה, כשכולם נרדמו, חזר לספרייה.En: At night, when everyone fell asleep, he returned to the library.He: הוא הצטייד בטלסקופ ובפתק קטן שבו כתב את תוכניתו: לבדוק, לצלם, להוכיח.En: He was equipped with a telescope and a small note where he wrote his plan: to check, to photograph, to prove.He: האורות לא יכלו להיות סתם מטוסים, הוא הופך ביפול שלו, והיה צריך לגלות יותר.En: The lights couldn't just be airplanes, he mulled over, and he had to find out more.He: במרחשים השקטה והמלבבת של הלילה, הוא התמקם על הדשא מול הספרייה.En: In the quiet and enchanting nighttime atmosphere, he settled on the lawn in front of the library.He: הירח היה בהיר, וכך גם התקווה שלו.En: The moon was bright, as was his hope.He: לפתע, נפתחו שערי השמים והאורות חזרו בשורה מסתובבת, מרחפים בצורה מופלאה.En: Suddenly, the gates of the sky opened, and the lights returned in a rotating sequence, hovering in a spectacular manner.He: הם התנועעו בדפוסים שלא דומים לשום כלי טיס מוכר.En: They moved in patterns unlike any known aircraft.He: לרגע, אריאל רק התבונן, אך אז החל לצלם ולאסוף ראיות.En: For a moment, Ariel just watched, but then he began to photograph and gather evidence.He: למחרת, עם ראיות בידיו ולב מלא התרגשות, פנה אל ליאורה שנדהמה מהממצאים.En: The next day, with evidence in his hands and a heart full of excitement, he turned to Leora who was astonished by the findings.He: "אנחנו חייבים לספר לכולם," אמר אריאל.En: "We have to tell everyone," said Ariel.He: באולם העיתונות המקומית, נאחל לו באריכות ימים מי שצחק עליו.En: In the local press hall, those who had laughed at him wished him a long life.He: אריאל ואהבתו לאסטרונומיה מצאו דרך בלבבות של אנשי העיר.En: Ariel and his love for astronomy found a way into the hearts of the townspeople.He: לאחר ששיתף את התמונות והסיפור בעיתון המקומי, זכה הערכה וחיבה מחבריו.En: After sharing the photos and story in the local newspaper, he gained appreciation and affection from his friends.He: הוא הבין את חשיבות האמונה ברעיונות שלו.En: He understood the importance of believing in his ideas.He: מאותו יום, אריאל כבר לא היה הנער המוזר; הוא היה החוקר הצעיר שסיפק הוכחה לעולם הנסתר שמעבר.En: From that day on, Ariel was no longer the odd boy; he was the young researcher who provided proof of the unseen world beyond.He: והספרייה הקטנה בפרברים זכתה לפרסום בזכות חוש ההרפתקנות שלו והידידות הכנה של ליאורה.En: And the small library in the suburbs gained fame thanks to his adventurous spirit and the sincere friendship of Leora.

Der Zusammenbruch des Ostblock stieß einen Transformationsprozess an, der bei Weitem noch nicht abgeschlossen ist. Der russische Angriffskrieg auf die Ukraine ist u.a. Teil davon. Das Verhältnis zum Westen war in vielen Ländern des ehemaligen 'Blocks' nicht selten ein ambivalentes und konnte sogar in Rückgewandtem, ja Demokratiefeindlichem Ausdruck finden. Gerade Subkulturen und Avantgardebewegungen spiegeln diese Ambivalenz. In Jugoslawien waren die 80er Jahre geprägt von Freiheitsversprechen und (kreativem) Aufschwung, aber auch die Zeit aufkommenden Nationalismus. Von Widersprüchen geprägt, war es das letzte Jahrzehnt, in dem das Land eine Einheit war - und Jugoslawischer NewWave Ausdruck dessen: 'die letzte Jugend' - und kein Projekt eignet sich zur Illustration besser als die Belgrader Band IDOLI - war urban, individualistisch, rebellisch und geradezu obsessiv in ihrer Identifikation mit der Kulturszene westlicher Metropolen. Sie trat an gegen den sozialistischen Kollektivismus, flirtete dabei mit nationalistischer, rückgewandter Bildsprache, griff Avantgarde-Traditionen auf, auch solche, die ihrerseits mit Totalitarismus geliebäugelt hatten, war dabei aber ungemein vielschichtig, vieldeutig, verspielt und intelligent, ihr Album ein Meilenstein von TapeArt&CutUp. Kann Popmusik ein Warnsignal, ein Seismograph folgender Desillusionierung und gewalttätigen Zerfalls sein? Auch das multidisziplinäre Künstlerkollektiv NSRD aus Riga war stark von postmoderner Theorie beeinflusst, dazu von neuer Musik und Dada, später u.a. von Fluxus und Kybernetik mit einem ausgeprägten DiY-Ethos, der nicht nur den restriktiven Bedingungen in der Sozialistischen Sowietrepublik geschuldet war. Wenn gute lettische Tanzmusik rar war, machte man sie halt selbst. Alle Grauzonen, die Musik & Kunst betrafen, wurden von NSRD voller Begeisterung ausgelotet. "Wir identifizieren uns mit Grenzen. Wir orientieren uns an den Beziehungen zwischen Zentrum und Peripherie.“ heisst es im Manifest ihrer 'Approximate Art'. Bonus: #Eastbam.

canopy.Nl: Joost pakte het voorzichtig op, bijna eerbiedig.En: Joost picked it up carefully, almost reverently.Nl: Toen ze terugkeerden naar het dorp, voelde Joost de verandering in de lucht.En: As they returned to the village, Joost felt the change in the air.Nl: De gemeenschap keek met verbazing en, eindelijk, een sprankje vertrouwen.En: The community looked on in amazement and, finally, a hint of trust.Nl: Hij gaf het artefact aan de ouderen en knikte diep.En: He handed the artifact to the elders and nodded deeply.Nl: "Bedankt," zei een van hen zacht.En: "Thank you," one of them said

Story Transcript:Hu: A Balaton-felvidék őszi reggel csodálatos volt.En: The autumn morning on the Balaton-felvidék was wonderful.Hu: A levelek színesen hullottak a földre, a szellő pedig frissességgel töltötte meg a tájat.En: The leaves fell colorfully to the ground, and the breeze filled the landscape with freshness.Hu: Az emberek már készültek a halottak napjára, emlékezve azokra, akik nincsenek velünk.En: People were already preparing for All Souls' Day, remembering those who are no longer with us.Hu: Bence, a fiatal újságíró, álmodozva nézte a domboldalról a Balaton kék vizét.En: Bence, the young journalist, dreamily watched the blue waters of Balaton from the hillside.Hu: Valami azonban nem hagyta nyugodni.En: However, something would not let him rest.Hu: Aznap reggel érkezett a hír, hogy Zsófia, a helyi művészeti kurátor szerint, egy értékes műalkotás tűnt el a kiállításról, amelyet a festő, János, kifejezetten erre az alkalomra készített.En: That morning, the news arrived that, according to Zsófia, the local arts curator, a valuable artwork had disappeared from the exhibition, which the painter, János, had created specifically for this occasion.Hu: A mű leírása szerint a festmény egy régi, már-már elfeledett legendára épült.En: According to the description of the work, the painting was based on an old, almost forgotten legend.Hu: Bence úgy érezte, itt a lehetőség, hogy bizonyítsa tehetségét.En: Bence felt that this was his chance to prove his talent.Hu: Küldetése nemcsak János művének megkeresése volt, hanem az is, hogy leküzdje azokat a kétségeket, amelyek régóta nyomasztották.En: His mission was not only to find János's work but also to overcome the doubts that had long weighed on him.Hu: Valahol legbelül azonban a közösség hitetlensége is foglalkoztatta.En: Deep inside, he was also concerned about the community's disbelief.Hu: Úgy döntött, összeáll Zsófiával, a kiállítás megmentése érdekében.En: He decided to team up with Zsófia to save the exhibition.Hu: Zsófia aggódva figyelte a kiállítás helyszínét.En: Zsófia watched the exhibition site with concern.Hu: A festmény nemcsak műalkotás, hanem egy személyes történet része is.En: The painting was not just an artwork, but part of a personal story.Hu: Jánossal közös érdeklődésük révén tudott a régi legendáról, amely egy elveszett faluról és annak lakóiról szólt.En: Through a common interest with János, she knew about the old legend, which spoke of a lost village and its inhabitants.Hu: Bence és Zsófia a helyi történésszel, Lászlóval találkoztak.En: Bence and Zsófia met with the local historian, László.Hu: László a régió meséit, történeteit fejből ismerte.En: László knew the region's tales and stories by heart.Hu: "A festmény eltűnése talán nem véletlen," mondta László, "lehet, hogy kapcsolatban áll a legendával.En: "The disappearance of the painting might not be a coincidence," said László, "it might be connected to the legend."Hu: "Bence agya lázasan dolgozott.En: Bence's mind was working feverishly.Hu: Talán a festmény nyomra vezethet, ha megtalálják.En: Perhaps the painting could provide a clue if they found it.Hu: "Gondoljunk csak bele, mit mesélt a festő," mondta Zsófia.En: "Just think about what the painter mentioned," said Zsófia.Hu: "Valami titkot hagyott hátra.En: "He left behind some secret."Hu: " A legenda szerint a hegyekbe rejtették a falut, valamikor régen, hogy megvédjék a kincseiket.En: According to the legend, the village was hidden in the mountains long ago to protect their treasures.Hu: Ahogy az este leszállt, egy kis fészerhez értek, a kiállítás szélén.En: As night fell, they reached a small shed at the edge of the exhibition.Hu: Egy halvány, szinte észrevehetetlen jelet fedeztek fel a fa ajtaján.En: They discovered a faint, almost unnoticeable mark on the wooden door.Hu: Egy régi szimbólum, amit csak kevesen ismertek.En: An old symbol that few recognized.Hu: László elmosolyodott.En: László smiled.Hu: "Ez volna az útmutatónk.En: "This would be our guide."Hu: " Amikor kinyitották az ajtót, a festmény ott feküdt, sértetlenül, de nem egyedül.En: When they opened the door, the painting lay there, unharmed, but not alone.Hu: Mellette egy régi térkép hevert, amely a legenda valódiságát igazolta.En: Beside it rested an old map, confirming the legend's authenticity.Hu: Bence sikert aratott, nemcsak azzal, hogy megtalálta a festményt, hanem azzal is, hogy felfedezte a közösség múltját.En: Bence achieved success not only by finding the painting but also by discovering the community's past.Hu: A térkép és a festmény segítették az embereket abban, hogy újraértelmezzék örökségüket.En: The map and the painting helped people reinterpret their heritage.Hu: Mindez hitet adott vissza Bencének.En: This restored faith in Bence.Hu: Rájött, hogy a valódi nyomozás az emberi kapcsolódások felismeréséről szól.En: He realized that true investigation is about recognizing human connections.Hu: Most már magabiztosan írhatott, hiszen a helyi közösség támogatását is megnyerte.En: Now he could write with confidence, having also gained the support of the local community.Hu: Az estét egy meleg teával búcsúztatták, a tűz lágy lángjai mellett, a Balaton tükrén táncoló csillogással.En: They bid farewell to the evening with a warm tea, by the soft flames of the fire, with the shimmering reflection on Balaton's surface.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty speaks with novelist and scholar Cinda Gault about how historical fiction can restore women's voices and model resilient mindsets. From Isabel Gunn (who disguised herself to work the Canadian fur trade) to the turbulent reforms of the 1970s, Cinda explains how story lets us “step into another consciousness,” building empathy, agency, and practical courage. We examine autonomy, meaningful work, creative risk-taking, and how today's listeners can challenge quiet social constraints without glorifying conflict. This conversation is direct, reflective, and designed for searchers interested in women's history, trauma-informed healing, creative practice, and mental well-being.   About the guest  : Cinda Gault is a Canadian novelist and scholar whose books—This Godforsaken Place, A Small Compass, and Everything I Hope For—center women who defy expectations and choose meaningful lives. Her background spans domestic-violence advocacy, corrections, and a PhD focused on Canadian women's writing.   Key takeaways: Story as empathy technology: Fiction lets readers inhabit another mind, shifting beliefs faster than argument and supporting emotional healing and mental flexibility. Agency over approval: Gault's protagonists define meaning for themselves, accept mistakes, and iterate—useful for reducing shame spirals and building resilient habits. Historical context, modern tools: Legal and cultural shifts (education access, financial autonomy, reproductive rights in Canada) expanded options; listeners can pair this progress with personal boundaries and values. Defying quiet constraints: Even without explicit barriers, conventions around caregiving, career, and creativity can box people in; naming them creates space for choice. Courage as a daily practice: Small risks (new skills, new roles) build identity strength—adventure is often a mindset before it's a voyage. Research to reclamation: Unearthing figures like Isabel Gunn or referencing Annie Oakley reframes women not as exceptions but as agents within their eras. Craft note for creators: Real tension (not constant harmony) drives story; in life, anticipate challenges and choose responses aligned with your values. Practical reflection: Ask, “What one step would make my life more meaningful this week?” Then act, review, and adjust.   How to connect with the guest   Website: search for “Cinda Gault” to find her official site, book details, and a free History of Storytelling webinar.

Fluent Fiction - Danish: Unearthing the Past: A Medieval Quest for Authenticity Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/da/episode/2025-11-03-23-34-02-da Story Transcript:Da: Under en klar efterårshimmel, hvor gyldne blade raslede i en let brise, gik Søren og Astrid gennem det middelalderlige indkøbscenter i København.En: Under a clear autumn sky, where golden leaves rustled in a gentle breeze, Søren and Astrid walked through the medieval shopping center in København.Da: Det var som en lille tidskapsel, hvor hverdagen blev glemt, og fortiden blev levende.En: It was like a little time capsule, where everyday life was forgotten, and the past came alive.Da: Rundt om dem bar folk farverige middelalderdragter, og duften af friskbagt brød blandede sig med lyden af glade stemmer.En: Around them, people wore colorful medieval costumes, and the scent of freshly baked bread mingled with the sound of happy voices.Da: Søren kiggede ivrigt rundt.En: Søren looked around eagerly.Da: Han elskede historie, især den middelalderlige periode.En: He loved history, especially the medieval period.Da: I dag søgte han en unik gave til sin fars fødselsdag.En: Today, he was searching for a unique gift for his father's birthday.Da: Hans far delte Sørens passion for historie, og Søren ønskede at finde noget helt særligt.En: His father shared Søren's passion for history, and Søren wanted to find something truly special.Da: „Astrid, se derovre!” råbte Søren og pegede mod en bod fyldt med rustninger og sværd.En: “Astrid, look over there!” shouted Søren, pointing towards a stall filled with armor and swords.Da: „Søren, vi leder efter en gave, ikke en krig,” drillede Astrid, mens de bevægede sig tættere på.En: “Søren, we're looking for a gift, not a war,” teased Astrid as they moved closer.Da: De stoppede ved en bod, hvor en ældre mand med et stort, hvidt skæg solgte kister fyldt med antikke bøger.En: They stopped at a stall where an older man with a large, white beard was selling chests filled with antique books.Da: Men da Søren spurgte til prisen, viste det sig, at de var langt uden for hans budget.En: But when Søren asked about the price, it turned out they were far beyond his budget.Da: „Det er svært at finde noget ægte her,” sukkede Søren frustreret.En: “It's hard to find something genuine here,” sighed Søren frustratedly.Da: Astrid så eftertænksom ud.En: Astrid looked thoughtful.Da: „Måske skal vi tænke på, hvad din far virkelig vil sætte pris på.” De gik videre, og ved hver bod blev de mindet om budgetproblemet eller mangel på autenticitet.En: “Maybe we should think about what your father would really appreciate.” They moved on, and at each stall, they were reminded of the budget problem or the lack of authenticity.Da: Der var svævende priser og mange kopivarer.En: There were inflated prices and many knock-offs.Da: Sørens frygt voksede: Hvad nu hvis hans far ikke ville bryde sig om en middelalderlig gave?En: Søren's fear grew: What if his father wouldn't care for a medieval gift?Da: Da de var tæt på at give op, stødte de på en beskeden bod i et hjørne af markedet.En: Just as they were about to give up, they came across a modest stall in a corner of the market.Da: En kvinde med briller tilbød dem et sjældent, signeret manuskript fra middelalderen.En: A woman with glasses offered them a rare, signed manuscript from the medieval era.Da: Hands falmede sider bar spor af tidens tand, men autenticiteten var tydelig.En: Its faded pages bore the marks of time, but the authenticity was clear.Da: „Det er lidt beskadiget,” sagde kvinden undskyldende.En: “It's a bit damaged,” the woman said apologetically.Da: „Men det er ægte.” Søren så på manuskriptet.En: “But it's genuine.” Søren looked at the manuscript.Da: Selv med dets skavanker strålede det af historie og arv.En: Even with its blemishes, it radiated history and heritage.Da: Her var noget, der kunne fortælle en historie på egen hånd.En: Here was something that could tell a story on its own.Da: „Den vil min far elske,” besluttede Søren endelig.En: “My father will love it,” Søren finally decided.Da: Han købte manuskriptet, hans hjerte let.En: He bought the manuscript, his heart feeling light.Da: Astrid smilede varmt til ham.En: Astrid smiled warmly at him.Da: „Det handler om tanken og historien bag.En: “It's about the thought and the story behind it.Da: Det vil din far værdsætte.” Søren nikkede.En: Your father will appreciate that.” Søren nodded.Da: Han indså, at imperfektion også kunne have sin skønhed.En: He realized that imperfection could also have its beauty.Da: Han følte sig nu sikker på, at hans kærlighed til historien gik ud over det perfekte.En: He now felt sure that his love for history went beyond the perfect.Da: Da de forlod markedet, vidste Søren, at hans far ville forstå og værdsætte gaven – en påmindelse om at ægte værdi ligger i historien selv, ikke i udseendet.En: As they left the market, Søren knew that his father would understand and appreciate the gift—a reminder that real value lies in the history itself, not in appearance.

Azt mondják, régen itt lakott egy híres tudós."En: "I've heard about it. They say a famous scientist used to live there."Hu: Ahogy a csoport elindult a rendezett park felé, Áron fejében egy terv kezdett alakot ölteni.En: As the group headed towards the well-kept park, a plan began to form in Áron's mind.Hu: Meg akarta keresni az emlegetett házat, és bebizonyítani, hogy nem csak mese.En: He wanted to find the mentioned house and prove it was not just a tale.Hu: Ahogy elértek a park közepére, a tanárok és csoportvezetők kiosztották a tájékoztatókat.En: When they reached the center of the park, the teachers and group leaders handed out the information leaflets.Hu: "Ne hagyjátok el a kijelölt területet" - mondták határozottan.En: "Do not leave the designated area," they stated firmly.Hu: Áron azonban csak a kihívást hallotta.En: Áron, however, only heard the challenge.Hu: Reggel közepén Áron súgott Rebekának és Lászlónak.En: In the middle of the morning, Áron whispered to Rebeka and László.Hu: "Menjünk, nézzük meg azt a házat! Csak egy kis időre, senki sem veszi észre."En: "Let's go see that house! Just for a little while, no one will notice."Hu: Rebeka habozott, de Áron lelkesedése végül elérte őt.En: Rebeka hesitated, but Áron's enthusiasm eventually reached her.Hu: "Rendben, de ha bajba kerülünk, te leszel a hibás."En: "Alright, but if we get in trouble, it will be your fault."Hu: László kicsit aggódott az engedetlenség miatt, de a kíváncsiság erősebb volt.En: László was a bit worried about the disobedience, but his curiosity was stronger.Hu: "Nézzük meg gyorsan!"En: "Let's check it out quickly!"Hu: A park szélén, a magas fáktól elrejtve, megtalálták a házat.En: At the edge of the park, hidden by tall trees, they found the house.Hu: Egy régi kúriának tűnt, borostyán borította falai lenyűgözőek voltak.En: It seemed like an old mansion, its ivy-covered walls were impressive.Hu: Mindhárman lélegzetvisszafojtva nézték a tornyos épületet.En: They all gazed at the towering building, holding their breath.Hu: Ahogy közelebb merészkedtek, halk zajok törtek át a csendön.En: As they dared to approach, faint noises broke the silence.Hu: Rebeka megremegett.En: Rebeka shivered.Hu: “Ez csak a szél, ugye?”En: "That's just the wind, right?"Hu: Hirtelen egy férfi jelent meg az ajtó előtt, kezében seprűvel.En: Suddenly, a man appeared in front of the door, holding a broom.Hu: "Ti mit csináltok itt?" kérdezte a gondnok. Arcán halvány mosollyal folytatta.En: "What are you doing here?" asked the caretaker, continuing with a faint smile on his face.Hu: "Ez a ház valójában a város egyik legrégebbi épülete.En: "This house is actually one of the oldest buildings in the city.Hu: Sok érdekes történet kötődik hozzá."En: Many interesting stories are attached to it."Hu: Áron lelkesen kérdezett a ház történelméről, és a gondnok szívesen mesélt nekik.En: Áron eagerly asked about the history of the house, and the caretaker gladly shared them with the kids.Hu: Bár a kísértetekről szóló mesék nem bizonyultak igaznak, Áron elégedetten ment vissza a többiekhez.En: Although the ghost stories did not prove to be true, Áron returned to the others satisfied.Hu: Tudta, hogy barátainak kalandot szerzett, és a saját kíváncsiságát is kielégítette.En: He knew he had provided his friends with an adventure and satisfied his own curiosity.Hu: Visszatérve a csoporthoz, Rebeka mosolygott.En: Returning to the group, Rebeka smiled.Hu: “Jól van, talán mégis létezhetnek rejtélyek.”En: "Alright, maybe mysteries can exist after all."Hu: László, aki eddig visszafogott volt, izgatottan osztotta meg a többiekkel, amit tanultak.En: László, who had been reserved until now, excitedly shared what they learned with the others.Hu: Mindhárman sokat tanultak ezen az őszi napon, és a barátságuk is erősödött.En: All three of them learned a lot on that autumn day, and their friendship also grew stronger.Hu: A nap végére Áron gondolataiban már egy új történet formálódott, de most már tudta, hogy a valóság még érdekesebb lehet.En: By the end of the day, a new story was already forming in Áron's mind, but now he knew that reality could be even more interesting.

Today Tony is digging up the secrets of Sutton Hoo, England's iconic Anglo-Saxon royal burial site, with Professor Martin Carver, who led the 1980s excavations, and Laura Howarth, Archaeology and Engagement Manager at Sutton Hoo, National Trust. The 1939 dig by Basil Brown for landowner Edith Pretty, revealed the shape of a ship beneath a mound. It turned out to be a 7th-century royal ship burial filled with magnificent treasures: 'a poem written in objects', possibly belonging to King Rædwald. These included the now famous helmet and many other treasures originating from across Europe, Byzantium, and even as far as Sri Lanka.In the 1980s, Martin led further excavations, revealing a horse and warrior burial and even an execution cemetery, showing Sutton Hoo as an evolving political and spiritual landscape. Today excavations, in collaboration with Time Team, continue to reveal Sutton Hoo's secrets.

Toxic Exposure: The Monsanto Roundup Trials, and the Search for Justice," reveals the dark side of the world's most widely used herbicide. Jessica Aldridge interviewed Dr. Chadi Nabhan in 2023, who offered his expert insights on the link between glyphosate and cancer, the landmark legal battles against Monsanto, and the ongoing struggle for environmental justice. Tune in for a compelling narrative that exposes the failures of regulatory agencies and the courage of individuals standing up to agrochemical giants. For years, Monsanto declared that their product Roundup, the world's most widely used weed killer, was safe. But in 2015, scientific studies concluded that glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup, is probably carcinogenic. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Monsanto disagreed with the findings, as scientists worked to understand the link between glyphosate and cancer. Dr. Chadi Nabhan's book, Toxic Exposure [https://chadinabhan.com/mybooks/], tells the true story of his role as an expert physician witness who testified in multiple state and federal trials against Monsanto. His book recounts the heartbreaking stories of numerous patients who developed the cancer non-Hodgkin lymphoma, after regularly using Roundup on yards and school grounds. Monsanto is now owned by Bayer, one of the largest agrochemical companies in the world. These companies and the EPA downplayed the health dangers of Roundup and the active ingredient glyphosate even after Monsanto lost numerous court cases (owing billions in judgements) and settled out of court for more than $11 Billion for more than 100K patients. In this interview we discuss the history of Roundup, the dangers of glyphosate, the trial stories and verdicts, and what the everyday person can do to fight for justice against this agricultural behemoth. Dr. Chadi Nabhan is an expert in lymphoid malignancies and treating and diagnosing cancers. He is author of Toxic Exposure: The True Story behind the Monsanto Trials and the Search for Justice [http://www.chadinabhan.com]. He received his medical degree from Damascus University in Syria. After performing basic science research at Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard Medical School, he completed his internal medicine residency as well as an MBA in Healthcare Management at Loyola University in Chicago. Dr. Nabhan maintains active medical licenses in five states, and has over 300 peer-reviewed articles and abstracts. He is also a sought-after speaker, moderator, facilitator, and the creator and host of his own podcast, "Healthcare Unfiltered" [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjiJPTpIJdIiukcq0UaMFsA]. Jessica Aldridge, Co-Host and Producer of EcoJustice Radio, is an environmental educator, community organizer, and 15-year waste industry leader. She is a co-founder of SoCal 350, organizer for ReusableLA, and founded Adventures in Waste.

After centuries of anticipation, the ancient city of Colossae—the site of Paul's letter to the Colossians—is finally being excavated. Dr. Clint Arnold, one of the world's foremost experts on Colossians, joins Sean McDowell to share breaking news from the dig in modern-day Turkey. They explore why this excavation is historic, what discoveries could illuminate the New Testament, and how this project might finally unravel the mystery of the so-called “Colossian heresy.”Listeners will learn about the decades-long journey to make this dig possible, the fascinating mix of history and theology behind Colossae, and what these findings could mean for our understanding of early Christianity. ==========Think Biblically: Conversations on Faith and Culture is a podcast from Talbot School of Theology at Biola University, which offers degrees both online and on campus in Southern California.

We asked a body-level question: What does “enough” look and feel like—of time, resources, rest? What emerged isn't a finish line but a practice. Voices move from accumulation to sufficiency (“needs—with a handful of wants”), from schedules to presence (“time, not clocks”), from lone resilience to shared accountability. “Enough” shows up as a calmer nervous system and a commons that redistributes care—room to breathe, margin for the unknown, and infrastructures that make slowness livable. “Enough isn't a destination—it's a practice.” —Sophia F. The invitation is practical and collective: how do we design for capacity, not just velocity, so everyone has time to belong? This week, what single ritual could you add—or what metric could you retire—to build your capacity to rest and respond? Learn more about Deem at www.deemjournal.com

ruins of Aquincum.Hu: Zoltán az ásatás helyszínén állt, nézegette a romos oszlopok és kőtömbök között húzódó ösvényt.En: Zoltán stood at the excavation site, gazing at the path that wound between the dilapidated columns and stone blocks.Hu: A levegő hűvös volt, tele eső ígéretével.En: The air was cool, filled with the promise of rain.Hu: Ősz derekán jártunk, s a levelek narancs és arany színekbe öltöztek.En: We were in the heart of autumn, and the leaves had donned shades of orange and gold.Hu: Ez különösen széppé tette a tájat.En: This made the landscape especially beautiful.Hu: Zoltán izgatott volt, de a szíve mélyén aggódott.En: Zoltán was excited, yet deep down he was worried.Hu: Egy fiatal régész volt, tele bizonyítási vággyal.En: He was a young archaeologist, full of the desire to prove himself.Hu: Ő és csapata – Éva és Tamás – már hetek óta itt dolgozott, de minden erőfeszítésük ellenére sem találtak semmit jelentőset.En: He and his team—Éva and Tamás—had been working here for weeks, but despite all their efforts, they had not found anything significant.Hu: Az idő és a forrásaid kezdtek kimerülni.En: Time and resources were starting to dwindle.Hu: Ahogy a nap felkelt, Zoltán érezte, hogy dönteni kell.En: As the sun rose, Zoltán felt a decision needed to be made.Hu: "Kockáztatni fogok," mondta magának, miközben Evat és Tamást figyelte.En: "I'm going to take a risk," he told himself as he watched Éva and Tamás.Hu: Ők mindketten tapasztaltak voltak, és Zoltán nagyon tisztelte a véleményüket.En: Both were experienced, and Zoltán greatly respected their opinions.Hu: Mégis, valamiért úgy érezte, meg kell próbálnia valami mást.En: Yet, for some reason, he felt he needed to try something different.Hu: Egy távolabbi, keveset kutatott területre akart menni.En: He wanted to go to a more distant, little-researched area.Hu: Éva nem értett vele egyet.En: Éva disagreed.Hu: "Túl veszélyes," mondta aggódva.En: "It's too dangerous," she said worriedly.Hu: De Zoltán hajthatatlan volt.En: But Zoltán was adamant.Hu: Elindult a romok hátsó részébe, ahol a növényzet sűrűbb volt.En: He headed to the back of the ruins, where the vegetation was thicker.Hu: Miközben lépdelt, a levelek száraz zörgése kísérte útját.En: As he walked, the dry crunching of leaves accompanied his steps.Hu: Hamarosan talált egy kis részt, ahol a fák és a romok furcsa harmóniában voltak.En: Soon, he found a small area where the trees and ruins were in a strange harmony.Hu: Zoltán érezte, hogy valami különleges van a levegőben.En: Zoltán felt there was something special in the air.Hu: Közeledett az alkony, a nap sugarai aranylóan átszűrődtek a fák között.En: Dusk was approaching, and the golden rays of the sun filtered through the trees.Hu: Váratlanul csillanásra lett figyelmes a föld alatt.En: Suddenly, he noticed a glint beneath the ground.Hu: Egy ősi ékszert látott!En: He saw an ancient piece of jewelry!Hu: Arra gondolt, ez talán az évszázad lelete lehet.En: He thought this might be the find of the century.Hu: De a fény csupán halvány villanás volt, mielőtt a felhők eltakarták a napot, és szélvihar kerekedett.En: But the light was just a faint flash before the clouds covered the sun, and a storm arose.Hu: Zoltán tudta, hogy gyorsan kell cselekednie.En: Zoltán knew he had to act quickly.Hu: A szél erősödött, a felhők egyre sötétebbek lettek.En: The wind was strengthening, and the clouds were getting darker.Hu: Visszaszaladt a táborba, de nem egyedül ment vissza.En: He ran back to the camp, but he didn't go back alone.Hu: Segítséget kért Évától és Tamástól.En: He sought help from Éva and Tamás.Hu: "Van egy lehetőség!En: "There's a possibility!Hu: Talán ez lesz az, amit mind kerestünk!En: This might be what we've all been looking for!"Hu: " mondta izgatottan.En: he said excitedly.Hu: Mindenki együtt dolgozott a vihar előtt, hogy az ékszert biztonságosan a felszínre hozhassák.En: Everyone worked together before the storm to safely bring the jewelry to the surface.Hu: Ahogy az első esőcseppek lehulltak, sikerült kiszabadítaniuk a tárgyat.En: As the first raindrops fell, they managed to free the object.Hu: Az ékszer valóban lenyűgöző volt, mintha mesékből lépett volna elő.En: The jewelry was truly captivating, as if it had stepped out of a fairy tale.Hu: Visszatérve a táborba, Zoltán ráébredt, hogy bár valóra válhat a vágya a nagy felfedezésről, az egész csapat áldozatai és közös munkája nélkül nem sikerült volna.En: Returning to the camp, Zoltán realized that although his desire for a major discovery might come true, without the sacrifices and joint efforts of the entire team, it wouldn't have succeeded.Hu: Megérezte, hogy nem csak a tudomány igazolta vissza, hanem saját belső ereje is.En: He felt not only had science vindicated him, but so had his own inner strength.Hu: Megértette, hogy az igazi siker nem egyedül, hanem együtt érhető el.En: He understood that true success is achieved not alone but together.Hu: A nap végére az eső is elcsendesedett, és a felhők mögött a hold halványan derengve ragyogott.En: By the end of the day, the rain had also quieted down, and behind the clouds, the moon glowed faintly.Hu: Zoltán boldogan ölelte át társait, és tudta, hogy mostantól mindent közösen fognak megoldani.En: Zoltán happily embraced his companions, knowing that from now on, they would solve everything together.Hu: Az ősi Aquincum romjai között ezen az őszies estén új fejezet kezdődött mindannyiuk életében.En: Among the ancient ruins of Aquincum on this autumnal evening, a new chapter began in all their lives.

Send us a text message and tell us your thoughts.What if everything we thought we knew about Caribbean literary history was incomplete? That's the premise of today's captivating conversation with Professor Alison Donnell, whose groundbreaking new book, Lost and Found: An A to Z of Neglected Writers of the Anglophone Caribbean (Papillote Press 2025), challenges the traditional narrative that Caribbean literature primarily emerged in the 1950s through male writers who migrated abroad. Through painstaking research spanning decades, Donnell reveals a far richer literary landscape populated by remarkable women writers, Indo-Caribbean voices, and authors who remained within the Caribbean, crafting work specifically for local audiences.The stories behind these recoveries are as fascinating as the writers themselves. We meet Vera Bell, the first female chief clerk of Jamaica's National Water Commission and prolific poet; Monica Skeet, who balanced a conservative teaching career with radical storytelling; and Edwina Melville, the first woman with a tractor license in Guyana who dedicated herself to representing Amerindian life. These weren't just writers – they were teachers, journalists, civil servants, and community leaders whose literary work formed part of a broader mission to build Caribbean cultural literacy.Whether you're a Caribbean literature enthusiast or simply love stories of historical recovery and justice, this episode will transform how you understand the relationship between literature, identity, and cultural memory. Listen now to discover the writers who helped shape Caribbean consciousness long before we knew their names.Alison Donnell is head of Humanities and Professor of Modern Literatures in English at the University of Bristol. She has published widely in the field of Caribbean literature, with significant contributions to the fields of literary history and culture, recovery research of women authors, and Caribbean literary archives. Her recent works reflect her ongoing commitment to exploring and expanding literary histories, including a special double issue of Caribbean Quarterly on Caribbean Literary Archives. Her latest monograph Creolized Sexualities: Undoing Heteronormativity in the literary imagination of the Anglo-Caribbean was published by Rutgers in 2021.Support the showConnect with Strictly Facts - Instagram | Facebook | Twitter | LinkedIn | YouTube | Website Looking to read more about the topics covered in this episode?

Christian Sidor is a professor in the UW Department of Biology and curator of Vertebrate Paleontology at the Burke. And for the last 18 years, he’s been traveling back and forth to Zambia and Tanzania, collecting fossils from the Permian period. The Permian lasted about 47 millions years and ended 252 million years ago with the Triassic Period. Sidor has found a lot of Permian specimens. Last month he and his collaborators co-edited a series of 14 articles on the animals they’ve discovered during their field work. So, we wanted to go check out some of these new, ancient animals.
