Both were exotic cars with American engines he could actually work on. He chose the Pantera—specifically a two-year-old 1973 L model he found in Norfolk, Virginia.The catch? A family bought it for their son's high school graduation. The son promptly wrecked it. They had it partially repaired, sent him to the Navy, and sold it to John.John drove it home and completely disassembled it. Every part. His entire apartment became a workshop—engine components in the kitchen, transmission parts in the bedroom, body panels in the living room.Italian exotic styling. Ford 351 Cleveland V8 power. American engineering he could wrench on himself.He rebuilt everything that didn't move.

Mintha időutazásra érkeztünk volna!”En: "Look, Zoltán! It's like we've arrived on a time travel adventure!"Hu: Zoltán viszont enyhén zavart volt.En: Zoltán, however, was slightly confused.Hu: „Nos, biztos vagy benne, hogy ez a fesztivál?” kérdezte kétkedve.En: “Well, are you sure this is the festival?” he asked doubtfully.Hu: Bent a vár udvarában a macskakövek alatt sárgás-vöröses falevelek zizegtek.En: Inside the castle courtyard, yellowish-reddish leaves rustled under the cobblestones.Hu: A levegőben fahéj és fahéjas alma illat érzett.En: The scent of cinnamon and cinnamon apples filled the air.Hu: Réka és Zoltán hamar kiderítette, hogy történelmi újrajátszás folyik.En: Réka and Zoltán quickly found out that a historical reenactment was taking place.Hu: Mindenki kosztümbe bújt, csak ők lógtak ki modern ruháikban.En: Everyone was in costume, and only they stood out in their modern clothes.Hu: Réka imádta a látványt, míg Zoltán még mindig rázott egy kicsit a fejét.En: Réka loved the sight, while Zoltán was still shaking his head a little.Hu: „Nem erre számítottam, Réka. Hol van a zene? Hol vannak a grillkolbászok?”En: "This is not what I expected, Réka. Where's the music? Where are the grilled sausages?"Hu: „Adj esélyt!” - Réka könyörgött.En: “Give it a chance!” Réka pleaded.Hu: „Talán megtalálod a neked valót!”En: “Maybe you'll find something you like!”Hu: Amint tovább sétáltak, egy csoport hátrált feléjük.En: As they continued to walk, a group backed towards them.Hu: Kiderült, hogy egy imitációs kardharcot tartanak.En: It turned out they were holding an imitation sword fight.Hu: A harcosok régi páncélokat viseltek, és kardokkal suhantak.En: The warriors wore old armor and swung swords.Hu: Hirtelen mindkét barátot bevonták a forgatagba.En: Suddenly, both friends were drawn into the whirlwind.Hu: A levegő zúgott körülöttük, és a kardok villogtak.En: The air buzzed around them, and the swords flashed.Hu: Réka nevetett a helyzet abszurditásán, míg Zoltán igyekezett vigyázni, hogy ne bántódjon meg senki.En: Réka laughed at the absurdity of the situation, while Zoltán tried to be careful not to hurt anyone.Hu: Végül a harcosok abbahagyták a küzdelmet.En: Eventually, the warriors stopped fighting.Hu: A jelenlévők tapsoltak és ujjongtak.En: The spectators clapped and cheered.Hu: „Bátor vagy!” - kiáltotta az egyik harcos Rékának.En: “You're brave!” shouted one of the warriors to Réka.Hu: Az esemény szervezői megjutalmazták a párost jó humorukért és részvételükért.En: The event organizers rewarded the pair for their good humor and participation.Hu: Kaptak egy rögtönzött ceremóniát, ami végén „tiszteletbeli lovagokként” üdvözölték őket.En: They received an impromptu ceremony, at the end of which they were welcomed as “honorary knights.”Hu: Réka boldogan és elégedetten mosolygott, hogy egy kis spontaneitás milyen csodálatos élményt hozhat.En: Réka smiled happily and contentedly at how a bit of spontaneity could bring such a wonderful experience.Hu: Zoltán pedig ráeszmélt, hogy a történelem is lehet szórakoztató.En: Zoltán realized that history could be entertaining too.Hu: Ahogy a nap lebukott a fák mögött, a két barát boldogan ballagott ki a várból.En: As the sun set behind the trees, the two friends happily strolled out of the castle.Hu: „Nos, Réka, azt hiszem, találtunk valami igazán különlegeset ma” - mondta Zoltán.En: “Well, Réka, I think we found something truly special today,” said Zoltán.Hu: Réka nevetett, és bólintott.En: Réka laughed and nodded.Hu: „Igen, és talán legközelebb már tudni fogjuk, hogy egy történelmi rendezvény is lehet olyan varázslatos, mint egy fesztivál.”En: “Yes, and maybe next time we'll know that a historical event can be as magical as a festival.” Vocabulary Words:autumn: ősziexperience: él átadventure: kalandapproaching: közeledettmedieval: középkoricheerful: vidámcourtyard: udvarábancobblestones: macskakövekscent: illatcinnamon: fahéjreenactment: újrajátszáscostume: kosztümsparkled: csillogtakarmor: páncélokwhirlwind: forgatagbuzzed: zúgottabsurdity: abszurditásánspectators: jelenlévőkimpromptu: rögtönzöttspontaneity: spontaneitásparticipation: részvételükérthonorary: tiszteletbelistrolled: ballagottentertaining: szórakoztatófestival: fesztiválhistorical: történelmimagical: varázslatosarmor: páncélrewarded: megjutalmaztákknights: lovagok

Dreaming of Alaska? In this episode of Vacation Mavens, Kim and Tamara take listeners beyond the traditional cruise routes to discover one of Alaska's most beautiful — yet often overlooked — national parks. Kim shares her experience visiting Kenai Fjords National Park, including her stay at the secluded Kenai Fjords Wilderness Lodge on Fox Island and a breathtaking boat tour through glacier-filled fjords. Whether you're planning an Alaska cruise or looking for a unique land-based adventure, this episode is packed with inspiration and practical advice for exploring Alaska's wild beauty. Episode Highlights: Why Kenai Fjords National Park deserves a spot on your Alaska itinerary — a stunning fjord-filled national park near Seward that many travelers miss. How to get there: Fly into Anchorage and drive about two hours to Seward, where most Kenai Fjords adventures begin. Where to stay near Seward: Kim overnighted at the Windsong Lodge — a comfortable, lodge-style hotel popular with campers and cruise guests. Don't miss: Resurrection Coffee in Seward, a charming café housed in an old church (arrive early — the weekend line can stretch 30 minutes!). The Kenai Fjords Wilderness Lodge experience: Located on remote Fox Island and accessible only by boat. Just eight guest rooms, creating an intimate and unplugged stay. Welcoming staff greet guests with local juice and take care of all luggage. Lodging includes meals, activities like painting and nature walks, and optional upgrades such as sea kayaking tours. Relaxation and reconnection in nature: Guests can unwind with activities like: A wood-fired sauna and cold plunge in the fjord. A sound bath meditation session with singing bowls. Painting classes overlooking the cove. Optional kayaking tours spotting puffins, sea stars, seals, and even a porcupine on the island. Tips for visiting the lodge: Plan for limited cell service and Wi-Fi — it's a true unplugged getaway. Bring a portable battery pack, since cabins have minimal outlets. Be patient with the shower temperature and remember: it's a wilderness lodge, not a luxury resort. Cabins are cozy and rustic but the chef-prepared meals are outstanding, with fresh, locally inspired dishes and personalized service. Included experience: A 5–6 hour Northwestern Fjords Boat Tour, featuring: Up-close views of glaciers calving into the sea. Stellar sea lion colonies, puffin nesting sites, and eagles. Possible humpback whale sightings (best from June–July). A fun "glacier margarita" made with real glacial ice. Best time to visit: May through September — but book early since space is limited and repeat guests often return year after year. Why this makes the perfect cruise add-on: Ideal for unwinding after a busy Alaska cruise. Offers a chance to experience "the real Alaska" — far from the crowds. Great for couples, families, or anyone craving quiet time in nature. Travel planning tips: Book Alaska cruises early for the best cabin choices and pricing. Be aware that Seattle and Vancouver hotels will be scarce in July 2026 due to the World Cup. Anchorage hotels also fill quickly — plan ahead if you're extending your trip. New resource for travelers: Kim announces the release of her Alaska Cruise Guidebook, filled with practical advice on choosing cruise lines, excursions, and packing tips for Alaska travel.

A reviewer gets thousands of books a month—so why did one plain-looking title jump to the top of the pile? The packaging signaled a story worth opening. We break down the art and strategy of creative mailers and author swag that make reviewers, influencers, and readers pay attention, share photos, and prioritize your book.We start with the first impression: simple upgrades like colored bubble mailers, clever on-theme stickers, or parchment-style wraps that create instant curiosity without custom-box budgets. Then we get practical about what goes inside. You'll hear how consumables turn a pitch into a memorable experience, and why handwritten notes still win in a digital age.Not everyone wants print, and that's okay. We share a hybrid approach, too. We also profile three investment tiers: Budget ideas, mid-range boosters, and deluxe - when you really want to get creative! Beyond the book, we show how to reflect your author identity and causes you care about so your package feels human, not corporate.You'll walk away with a sourcing list (printers, Etsy makers), a QR strategy that routes to a clean landing page with buy links and bonus content, and a checklist to keep shipping costs low and breakage near zero. Ready to turn your next book review request into an experience people keep and share? Be sure to tune in!

‘Unforgettable characters, written with irrepressible verve and historical accuracy [...] thrums with swordswinging energy.' ― Simon Sebag Montefiore The Hundred Years' War was an age-defining conflict. The violent struggle between England and France spanned over a century and permanently transformed the art of European warfare itself. Rich with stories of iconic figures, from Joan of Arc to Henry V, the sheer scale of it continues to inspire fictional retellings today. In his Essex Dogs trilogy, bestselling historian and author Dan Jones retells the battles and bloodshed through the eyes of the Essex Dogs, a fictional platoon. Now, as the series reaches its climax, he joins us on stage for an exploration of war, plague, and the third and final instalment of the trilogy – Lion Hearts. Jones' story resumes as the Black Death is tearing through Europe. The Essex Dogs have scattered: Romford thrives in the glittering court of King Edward III, Loveday struggles with loss and a reluctant return to violence, and Millstone and Thorp enlist themselves on a deadly mission to escort a princess to Castille. Yet an explosive turn of events is set to pull them back together.

Episode Description “If you don't take risks, will you always work for someone who did?” That's the thought-provoking question Kent Hance opens with, setting the stage for an episode packed with wisdom, heartfelt tributes, and classic Texas storytelling. In this episode, Kent Hance reflects on Warren Buffett's philosophy of risk-taking, weaving in personal anecdotes and sharp observations about how political landscapes have shifted over the decades. Listeners are treated to Kent's unique perspective on business, politics, and the importance of taking chances—whether in the boardroom or in everyday life. The episode takes a poignant turn as Kent shares the moving story of Gage Ingram, a Texas Tech graduate and Navy SEAL who made the ultimate sacrifice. Kent's tribute to Gage and his family is a powerful reminder of the courage and commitment found in communities across Texas. The episode also honors Sarah House, another Texas Tech alum whose life was tragically cut short, underscoring the fragility of life and the importance of community support. But it wouldn't be a Kent Hance podcast without a dose of humor and the unexpected. From tales of “stupid criminals”—like the man who tried to rob an ATM inside a jail—to the inventor of the Pop-Tart and maggots on a Delta flight, Kent's stories will have you laughing, shaking your head, and marveling at the unpredictability of life. Notable Quotes & Moments: “If you don't take risks, you will always work for someone who took risks.” Kent's heartfelt tribute: “There are young people all over this world doing dangerous things that we don't know about. They're trying to keep us safe.” On police work: “Not everybody should be a police officer. You have to have the right temperament.” The Pop-Tart story and Seinfeld's upcoming movie—dessert for breakfast, anyone? “Don't wear stupid t-shirts to court and don't try to rob the jail.” Themes & Insights: The value of risk-taking in life and business Shifts in political ideologies and their real-world impact Honoring service and sacrifice in the military and local communities The importance of defensive driving and staying safe The lighter side of human folly and the lessons it brings Call to Action: Did a story resonate with you?
