https://www.amazon.com/Against-Tide-H-Bedford-Jones-ebook/dp/B0DZHSFHDAgainst the Tide is a true story that captures the fear and hardships faced by African Americans during a disturbing time in American history the post-Reconstruction period that led to the introduction of Jim Crow laws.Through hard work and determination, Hansford C. Bayton would rise from humble beginnings to become the captain and owner of five excursion and mail delivery steamboats that plied the Rappahannock River during the late 1800s and early 1900s. Unusually for an African American, he would acquire wealth and the respect of both blacks and whites. Nevertheless, his boats were burned one by one. But with each malicious burning, and with lynching on the rise, he would build again.This book illuminates a time in American history when the surge of progress made by freedmen was sharply curtailed through the enactment of segregation laws and the activities of the Ku Klux Klan. As a result Hansford C. Bayton died poor, but his story is one of dignified courage and determination when faced with overwhelming odds. Truly, he was a man who swam against the tide.---

Acclaimed worldwide for his profound musicianship and technical mastery, British cellist Steven Isserlis enjoys a unique and distinguished career as a soloist, chamber musician, educator, author and broadcaster.As a concerto soloist he appears regularly with the world's leading orchestras and conductors, including the Berlin Philharmonic, National Symphony Orchestra Washington, London Philharmonic and Zurich Tonhalle orchestras. He gives recitals every season in major musical centres, and plays with many of the world's foremost chamber orchestras, including the Australian, Mahler, Norwegian, Scottish, Zurich and St Paul Chamber Orchestras, as well as period-instrument ensembles such as the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment and Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra. Unusually, he also directs chamber orchestras from the cello in classical programmes.Recent and upcoming highlights include performances with the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig, Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra at the Salzburg Mozartwoche; the US premiere of Thomas Adès's Lieux retrouvés with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, following world and UK premieres in Lucerne and at the BBC Proms, and a further performance of the work in Amsterdam with the Britten Sinfonia, conducted by the composer; Prokofiev's Concerto Op. 58 with the London Philharmonic Orchestra under Vladimir Jurowski, in London and at the Dresden Music Festival; and Haydn's C major Concerto with the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment under Adam Fischer.As a chamber musician, he has curated series for many of the world's most famous festivals and venues, including the Wigmore Hall, the 92nd St Y in New York, and the Salzburg Festival. These specially devised programmes have included ‘In the Shadow of War', a major four-part series for the Wigmore Hall to mark the centenary of the First World War and the 75th anniversary of the Second World War; explorations of Czech music; the teacher-pupil line of Saint-Saëns, Fauré and Ravel; the affinity of the cello and the human voice; varied aspects of Robert Schumann's life and music; and the music of Sergei Taneyev (teacher of Steven's grandfather, Julius Isserlis) and his students. For these concerts Steven is joined by a regular group of friends which includes the violinists Joshua Bell, Isabelle Faust, Pamela Frank, and Janine Jansen, violist Tabea Zimmermann, and pianists Jeremy Denk, Stephen Hough, Alexander Melnikov, Olli Mustonen, Connie Shih, and Dénes Várjon.He also takes a strong interest in authentic performance. This season's projects include a recording of the Chopin Cello Sonata and other works with Dénes Várjon for Hyperion, using ones of Chopin's own piano; and a recital of Russian sonatas with Olli Mustonen. In recital, he gives frequent concerts with harpsichord and fortepiano. Recent seasons have featured a special performance with Sir Andras Schiff at the Beethovenhaus in Bonn, using Beethoven's own cello; and performances and recordings (selected for the Deutsche SchallplattenPreis) of Beethoven's complete music for cello and piano with Robert Levin, using original or replica fortepianos from the early nineteenth century. With harpsichordist Richard Egarr, he has performed and recorded the viola da gamba sonatas of J.S. Bach as well as sonatas by Handel and Scarlatti. This season, they tour together in the US.He is also a keen exponent of contemporary music and has premiered many new works including John Tavener's The Protecting Veil (as well as several other pieces by Tavener), Thomas Adès's Lieux retrouvés, Stephen Hough's Sonata for Cello and Piano, Left Hand (Les Adieux), Wolfgang Rihm's Concerto in One Movement, David Matthews' Concerto in Azzurro, and For Steven and Hilary's Jig by György Kurtág.

AN 8.81 Mindfulness and situational awareness are a foundation for developing higher spiritual qualities leading to liberation. AN 8.82 Venerable Puṇṇiya asks the Buddha why he sometimes feels like teaching and other times doesn't. AN 8.83 The root of all things, and other factors that apply to all things. AN 8.84 The Buddha teaches how to be a success as a master thief. Unusually, this discourse has no “spiritual” counterpart, so it sounds like the Buddha just giving a lesson in thievery! AN 8.85 Different titles for the Buddha. AN 8.86 When the householders of Icchānaṅgala make a racket in the monastery, the Buddha asks his attendant Nāgita what is going on.

For this episode of The Unusual Histories podcast, Danny is joined by Ninia Benjamin, a tour de force who is known for 3 Non-Blondes, Big Fat Gypsy Gangster and Twisted Tales. She is a comedian, plus size model, writer, painter and actress who describes herself as a mother to your soul. Ninia has also appeared on Celebrity MasterChef and Hole in the Wall. If you´ve got kids they will know her as the voice of the eagle and the mosquito in Tinga Tinga Tales. She was born and raised in London and has lived in several of the city´s boroughs, so she shares some fascinating insights into why and how these areas have changed. Ninia shares her experience of growing up as the child of immigrants from Dominica and how her identity evolved as she got older, her unique way of making people laugh and dealing with hecklers. If you can´t get enough of these podcasts, head to https://www.patreon.com/DannyHurst to access my exclusive, member-only, fun-filled and fact-packed history-related videos. KEY TAKEAWAYS Ninia is a London girl through and through. She was born in Paddington but was raised mainly in Tottenham/Harringay before moving to Walthamstow. In Ninia´s lifetime the area around the Harringay Ladder has gone from mainly Turkish to largely Greek and is now becoming a popular area for Eastern Europeans. As the people change, the way the buildings in the area are used has changed drastically. Tottenham has a bad reputation for crime, but, in Ninia´s experience it is not as bad as some other boroughs. Tottenham has always been a place for new immigrants, which means it has an eclectic mix of cultures, ethnicities and religions. If you want something from a specific country e.g. an ingredient, the chances are you will find it on Tottenham High Road. Unusually, some buildings have been turned into places of worship. Ninia has only experienced racism in London on one occasion. Each wave of immigrants changes the cockney accent. Ninia´s comedy influences includes Robin Williams and Roseanne Barr. Ninia saw comedy as a path into acting. Humour is subjective. There is a new backlash against female stand up comics. Not all female comedians rely on running men down to get a laugh. BEST MOMENTS “I am truly a Tottenham girl, and I know Harringay like the back of my hand.” “Tottenham has always been a mixing pot… you can buy anything on Tottenham High Road.” “I'm the old kind of half cockney, half not cockney.” “I saw you destroy this heckler, you were awesome.” “It tickles me to be absurd.” EPISODE RESOURCES https://www.instagram.com/ninia_benjamin HOST BIO Historian, performer, and mentor Danny Hurst has been engaging audiences for many years, whether as a lecturer, stand-up comic or intervention teacher with young offenders and excluded secondary students.

“The Nose” may be Nikolai Gogol’s most famous short story. It’s a surrealist — and self-consciously, self-awarely surrealist — story about a man whose nose disappears from his face and reappears in another man’s biscuits. And other places. There’s a moment toward the end of Susanne Fusso’s translation when the narrator says, “The strangest and most incomprehensible thing of all — is that writers can choose such plots.” Well, yes. Nikolai Gogol was a 19th-century Russian/Ukrainian novelist and playwright. One of his best-known plays, The Inspector, opens this week at the Yale Repertory Theatre in New Haven. And that short story, “The Nose,” might well be intertwined with the mythology of our little public radio show. This hour, a look at the writer Nikolai Gogol. GUESTS: Susanne Fusso: Professor of Russian, East European, and Eurasian studies at Wesleyan University and the author of a number of books, including Designing Dead Souls: An Anatomy of Disorder in Gogol and a recent translation, The Nose and Other Stories by Nikolai Gogol Yura Kordonsky: The adaptor and director of the Yale Repertory Theatre’s production of The Inspector Support the show: http://www.wnpr.org/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Geoengineering Wars and Atmospheric Governance” is a new report from Harvard Law School Journals. From the Harvard report: “Stratospheric aerosol injection (“SAI”) is a form of solar radiation modification that is effective, technically feasible, and within the financial means of many states and even non-state actors. There are virtually no global governance structures in place to specifically regulate such activity”. Now let's add this to the equation: “Unusually powerful March storm threatens to create a blizzard, tornadoes and fires as it crosses the US” (CNN). And this: “Massive storm makes part of the US look like another planet” (CNN). Is all of this connected?

Dental modification was common across ancient societies, but perhaps none were more avid practitioners than the Maya. They filed their teeth flat or pointy, polished and drilled them, and crafted decorative inlays of jade and pyrite. Unusually, Maya of all social classes, ages, and professions engaged in dental modification. What did it mean to them? Ancient Maya Teeth: Dental Modification, Cosmology, and Social Identity in Mesoamerica (University of Texas Press, 2024) by Dr. Vera Tiesler is the most comprehensive study of Maya dental modification ever published, based on thousands of teeth recovered from 130 sites spanning three millennia. Esteemed archaeologist Dr. Tiesler sifts the evidence, much of it gathered with her own hands and illustrated here with more than a hundred photographs. Exploring the underlying theory and practice of dental modification, Tiesler raises key questions. How did modifications vary across the individual's lifespan? What tools were used? How did the Maya deal with pain—and malpractice? How did they keep their dentitions healthy, functioning, and beautiful? What were the relationships among gender, social identity, and particular dental-modification choices? Addressing these and other issues, Ancient Maya Teeth reveals how dental-modification customs shifted over the centuries, indexing other significant developments in Mayan cultural history. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Beekeeping Today Podcast Shorts brings you a quick dive into the latest buzz in beekeeping. In this first special episode, we welcome Dr. Humberto Boncristiani of Inside The Hive TV to discuss the alarming commercial colony losses reported this season. With beekeepers across the country facing unexpected die-offs, Humberto shares insights from his investigations, his conversations with industry experts like Blake Shook, and what beekeepers should watch for as the situation unfolds. Is this Colony Collapse Disorder all over again? What role might weather, pathogens, and management practices play? Humberto unpacks the factors contributing to these losses and offers a critical reminder: in times of crisis, beekeepers must seek reliable information, avoid knee-jerk reactions, and keep collecting data. Tune in for a timely and candid discussion about what's happening in the field, the challenges of understanding large-scale colony losses, and how beekeepers can stay informed.

After her SciFri internship 20 years ago, Flora went on to become a beloved science journalist, video producer, and podcaster. Now she's back! Also, several different fires are causing extreme damage in the Los Angeles area. Strong Santa Ana winds are one factor behind their rapid spread.Science Friday Now Has Two Hosts: Meet Flora Lichtman!Big news! Science Friday now has two hosts—Ira Flatow, the program's founder, and veteran science journalist Flora Lichtman. Going forward, you'll hear both of them regularly on the air and on our podcast. Flora joins Ira to introduce herself and talk about her background, from her start as an intern at Science Friday 20 years ago to her role as a video producer, then a writer for Bill Nye, and as creator of the podcast “Every Little Thing.”Los Angeles Wildfires Burn For Days, Stoked By Santa Ana WindsThis week, the Los Angeles area has been battered by at least five separate wildfires. Tens of thousands of acres have burned, and thousands of people have been forced to flee their homes. Fire experts had warned on January 2 that conditions were ideal for wildfires in parts of Southern California. One factor that has helped these fires spread rapidly? Unusually strong Santa Ana winds.On the other side of the country, Winter Storm Blair has caused freezing temperatures and up to a foot of snow across the Midwest and up into the East Coast, putting more than 60 million people under weather alerts.Joining Ira Flatow to discuss these and other top stories of the week is Umair Irfan, science correspondent at Vox, based in Washington, D.C.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

There have been huge increases in phishing globally over the past 12 months - and that phishing itself is undergoing a significant transformation. Both of these risk leaving people and businesses exposed going into 2025. Growing risks of phishing links in 2025 Netskope's Threat Labs researchers have found that: Phishing is surging globally, representing a major growing cybersecurity threat going into 2025: The number of users clicking on phishing links tripled in 2024, up to 8.4 out of every 1,000 users. This is a massive increase and represents a significantly bigger threat posed by phishing to people and organisations. The main factors leading to this increase are cognitive fatigue (with users constantly being bombarded with phishing attempts) and the creativity and adaptability of the attackers in delivering harder-to-detect baits. Phishing is fundamentally transforming, leaving many people and organisations with an outdated understanding of the threat. Unusually, the growth in phishing was driven by links shared through cloud applications, which were clicked on ten percentage points more than banking applications (27% of total clicks vs 17%). Microsoft 365 was the top target; other major targets included Adobe, DocuSign and Yahoo (see attached examples of what these phishing attacks look like in practice). This represents an evolution of phishing from primarily targeting money (e.g. via access to personal banking) to targeting data - reflective of the expansion of our digital lives and a shift in strategy from those carrying out phishing attacks in light of the growing value of data and its ubiquity in people's everyday lives. People are still the first line of cybersecurity defence, but these findings point to the fact that we have not improved understanding and education at the pace of technological change. With so much effort to educate the workforce to identify email threats, we need a similar campaign to re-frame what phishing looks like today Commenting on the findings, Ray Canzanese, head of the Netskope Threat Labs, said: "Social engineering will continue to be the top method attackers use to get an initial foothold in their target organizations in 2025, and phishing will be one of the most common techniques. "Despite years of efforts to educate people on how to spot a phishing link, the number of people clicking on phishing has tripled year over year. It is increasing because people are being bombarded with phishing links from all directions: email, social media, ads in search engine results, and all over the web. Furthermore, genAI is making it easier for attackers to craft convincing phishes. "All of this underscores the fact that educating users on detecting a phishing page is insufficient and that education must be coupled with technological solutions to the phishing problem." The finding comes in Netskope's 2025 Cloud and Threats report summarising the global cyber threats in 2024 - please find a copy here. Please also see below further findings which may be of interest. Personal app risk - Personal app use is rampant in the enterprise, with more than one out of every four users (26%) uploading, posting, or otherwise sending data to personal apps every month, with personal use of cloud storage, webmail, and genAI apps posing the most significant risks to organizations worldwide. Remote work blurs the lines of personal and business life, workers are also blurring the lines with personal and business data. There are also issues between using approved and preferred applications - particularly when it comes to GenAI apps which leads to the increase in shadow AI tools There has been a significant increase in the number of apps blocked by the top 25% of organizations, where the number of blocked apps more than doubled from 6.3 to 14.6 over the past year Adversarial risk - Adversary activity in 2024 mirrored the broader geopolitical landscape, with Russian groups TA577 and UAC-0050 and the Chinese group Salt Typh...
Bandcamp Links to all of the bands plus full reviews are here https://www.anointingthesick.com/It's difficult to shoehorn a whole years music into a two hour 'Best Of' Playlist but you have to draw the line somewhere so here's 16 bands whose new albums caused such a stir that it prompted me to review them. There are a couple of anomalies. Fireblood feature twice due to the band releasing 2 EP's in a year and Atomic Hand is actually a two band project Iglesia Atomica and Out Of Hand. Unusually one band plays psych jams the other brutal deathgrind. Both sides of this live album are great! ~ Embrace The Sickness ~Black Groove"Contains seven tracks of sluggish, de tuned, sludge caked hatred"CannabusThe fuzz is still thick but edged with barbs, pierced by blazing reverb and wah both shrieking in agony.Fireblood"The no frills, hard hitting, clunky riffs easily loosen the neck muscles, enabling the listener to bang their head with wild abandon to the sludge leaden groove."Sun Moon Holy Cult"Citing influences from bands such as Black Sabbath, WitchFinder General, Acid King and Belzebong"Severed Arm"A purulent discharge of infected blackened sludge doom"Demon & Eleven Children"Riffs are mighty, and the multitude of jams have been dipped in the same vat of acid"Wormthrone"Here lurks a suffocating, toxic album, spewing forth sulphurous riffs from a fermenting tarpit."Bleed This Earth"Straddling the the various emotions of despair between My Dying Bride and Mournful Congregation"Sangria"'Esclavo de la Ira' has a darker, enraged sound to it, reminding me of Triptykon in parts."Atomic Hand ( Iglesia Atomica & Out Of Hand)Iglesia Atomica ~A constant chatter of barbed jams squeal and shriek from the speakers. Out Of Hand ~ "spits deathgrind of the most poisonous kind."Vulgarian"Hateful sludge bloated with the DNA of slow, stagnant doom"Harsh Realm"A coagulate of unemotional death doom encapsulated in a bloody crust."Volume"Joy of Navigation' is the band's latest album and contains five songs of immersive psychedelic stoner."Sea Of Snakes"There is an abundance of riffs, huge and full of depth for the listener to revel in."Pyrogaric"Pyrogaric is back with more Welsh stoner doom Druidry"Monolithic Architecture"a raw and devastating bombardment of drone infused doom"

The original run of A Ghost Story for Christmas aired on the BBC from 1971 to 1978, bringing classic ghost stories to television and keeping alive the tradition of sharing supernatural tales during the Christmas season. In our journey through the series, we've covered A Warning to the Curious and The Signalman in Episode 21, Whistle and I'll Come to You and Stigma in Episode 32, and The Stalls of Barchester alongside The Treasure of Abbot Thomas in Episodes 41a and 41b. Just five days ago, on Christmas Eve, we delved into The Ash Tree. If you missed it, you can find it in our podcast feed. And tonight, as we stand on the brink of the space year 2025, we're excited to bring you Lost Hearts. Written by Robin Chapman, produced by Rosemary Hill, and directed by the series' creator Lawrence Gordon Clark, Lost Hearts is based on the 1895 ghost story of the same name by M.R. James. It first aired on BBC1 on December 25, 1973, marking the first installment in the series to be broadcast on Christmas Day itself—and one of only three to ever air on that date. Robin Chapman also wrote 30 episodes of Tales of the Unexpected. (Seek out episode 29, where good old Bernard Cribbins makes an appearance.) The film features Joseph O'Conor as Mr. Abney. O'Conor lent his voice to the narrator in (the best Muppet movie) The Dark Crystal, played Mr. Brownlow in Oliver! (cue James mentioning the exclamation point here), and portrayed the Coroner in The Gorgon—but more on that soon. Simon Gipps-Kent plays Stephen, the young protagonist. Tragically, Gipps-Kent passed away at just 28 years old. However, in his brief career, he appeared in several notable films and TV shows of interest to our listener. He played Paul in The Tomorrow People, had a brief role in Quadrophenia, portrayed Seth in the Doctor Who serial The Horns of Nimon, and starred in something called A Traveller in Time from 1978. which was filmed at Babington House, a farmhouse owned by the parents of Blue Peter presenter Simon Groom. In 2018, Severn Film Productions released a new adaptation of Lost Hearts, directed by Max Van De Banks. This version updated the story to the 1940s (and later 1953). After the death of Stephen's parents, the young boy is evacuated to the countryside during World War II. Unusually, this production was filmed in two parts: the main elements were shot in 2005, while the beginning and ending scenes were filmed in 2016. Louis Newton, who played Stephen in 2005, returned to portray him as a young man recounting the events to his bride-to-be ten years later.

What's up, dudes? “Disney's Sing-Along Songs” was a series of videos first released in October 1986! Disney connoisseurs Mike Westfall from Advent Calendar House and Charlie Ague from Closer to Christmas and Ague Designs are here with me to break down one of the releases: Disney's Very Merry Christmas Songs!Originally released Oct 4, 1988, Disney's Very Merry Christmas Songs featured music from various Disney movies, shows, and theme park attractions. Lyrics for each song appeared onscreen, and a Mickey Mouse bouncing ball helped keep track of tempo. Unusually, the first few used theme songs with footage of Professor Owl. There were also a few with Ludwig von Drake and Jiminy Cricket as well. In this case, Jiminy takes center stage as narrator.This was the 5th of 6 videos that make up part of the first series, using clips of various Disney animations. Pluto's Christmas Tree, Donald's Snow Fight, The Night Before Christmas, and Santa's Workshop are just a few of the sequences. Also, each song was introduced with a splash page of the the score and title card written in neo-Victorian font. Andrew Belling used various synthesizers to compose transitions from musical piece to piece, including several distinct Roland and Yamaha machines. Phil Savenick and Harry Arends contributed additional lyrics. Canon verses? Check. Color changing lyrics? Got 'em. Off beat claps from "Mickey's Christmas Carol" spliced in? Definitely!

The Living Process Episode 26 with host Greg Madison Guest Rob Parker Paradigm Leaping Welcome back to The Living Process. In this episode, Rob talks about his interests in philosophy, especially existentialism, from an early age and it was this interest, combined with his desire to help other young kids like himself, that led him to Gendlin. Rob's first experience of the Focusing world was a 3-day Thinking at the Edge workshop with Gendlin at Stony Point. Unusually his interest in philosophy was his way into Focusing. We talk about Rob's interest in ‘meaning', his journey from the ideas of Gregory Bateson to Maurice Marleau-Ponty and Thomas Kuhn, and how these thinkers brought him to Gendlin and a unique opportunity to drop everything and learn from this new philosopher. In our conversation, we touched on how learning Focusing affected Rob's therapy practice. He also talks about learning from Mary Hendricks Gendlin how to slow down and work with the felt sense in sessions and we touched upon the political and social implications of The Process Model. Rob mentioned his modification of the EXP scale and his use of Zen and Focusing to work with The Inner Critic. Rob Parker is well-known in the Focusing world and beyond as a clear thinker representing Gendlin's A Process Model and Gendlin's other philosophies to a lay audience. He has a longterm interest in Zen, spirituality, and science. For years Rob was a practicing psychologist, originally in the existential tradition, specialising in psychological trauma. In 2000 Rob found the philosophy of Eugene Gendlin, which he dedicated himself to understanding by meeting Gendlin every week until Gendlin died in 2017.

WGN-TV Chief Meteorologist Demetrius Ivory joins Wendy Snyder, who is filling in for Lisa Dent, to talk about the unusually cold weather for this time of year in Chicago. Ivory shares that the weather will return to a more typical temperature over the course of the month.
The 2024 U.S. election was to a large extent driven by voter frustrations with what seems to many to be a sluggish economy and dysfunctional government that no longer delivers for its citizens as it used to. But similar frustrations are felt in developed countries all around the world, and perhaps nowhere more acutely than in Great Britain. Its economy has stagnated for fifteen years, with the lowest rates of productivity registered over such a span since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. Child poverty levels have risen to record levels, prisons are dangerously overcrowded, sewage spills increasingly pollute the country's lakes and rivers, rail service is increasingly chaotic, and dissatisfaction with almost all public services is rife. Even Rishi Sunak, the former Conservative prime minister, complained while in office that “Politics doesn't work the way it should. … [O]ur political system is too focused on short-term advantage, not long-term success. Politicians spend more time campaigning for change than actually delivering it.”Sam Freedman, who writes the UK's leading politics Substack with his father Lawrence, has a new book with the blunt title Failed State: Why Nothing Works and How We Fix It. Unusually for books of this type, his analysis spends little time on individual politicians or ideologies and looks at the underlying systemic factors responsible for Britain's crisis. He draws inspiration from W. Edward Deming's famous observation that “A bad system will beat a good person every time” and points to key critical changes over the past half-century that have made it nearly impossible even for competent, governing-minded prime ministers to do their jobs effectively. A critical factor in this governance crisis has been the UK's drive toward excessive centralization, which has led the government to attempt to do too much while working through institutions that lack the capacity to handle increasingly complex problems. In an attempt to compensate for this lack of capacity, the government increasingly has relied upon outsourcing what once were public services to a handful of powerful private companies, which continue to reap massive public contracts despite scandalous failures. Worse still, these developments have taken place against a backdrop of an accelerating media cycle. Decisions have to be taken faster and under greater pressure, which gives politicians destructive incentives and increasingly leads them to make disastrous decisions, which they then attempt to excuse away through public-relations spin.In this podcast episode, Sam Freedman discusses how Britain's combination of hypercentralization, executive dominance of an overly large and complex state, and a superfast media cycle have combined to produce toxic politics and something like national paralysis. He concludes that this governance crisis will end as other crises have before it: “Eventually the challenges of a given era get so bad that a dam breaks and a way of doing things that has become accepted as inevitable or too hard to change gets washed away.”

We had the pleasure of interviewing Amble over Zoom video!Rising Irish folk trio Amble unveil their major label debut EP, The Commons, via Warner Records. Listen to it HEREBeloved for their descriptive storytelling, lyrics and powerful live performances, the band just announced their biggest headline tour to date for 2025, including shows at Dublin's Trinity College and New York's Bowery Ballroom, which sold out within minutes. The 30+ date run follows the band's entirely sold-out 2024 headline tour across US, Canada, UK and Ireland, including their debut performances in Los Angeles, New York City, Chicago, and many more.The Commons includes previously released tracks, “Little White Chapel” and “The Commons,” plus three new tracks, including the standout ballad “Thoughts Flood Back To You,” “One Man's Love,” and“Luke The Navigator.” Throughout, the five-track EP explores themes of love, loss, and loneliness but always concludes with hope and wonder for the beautiful world around us.On writing the EP, the band explains, “Every one of our songs tells a story. We had no ambition to add bells or whistles or anything production-wise. We're putting a microphone in a room, recording the music, and that's it. All three members are songwriters, each contributing in their own unique way. Robbie's songs are based on personal experiences while Oisin – who also writes poetry and short stories– delivers somewhat more impressionistic work, and Ross admits he's more of a melody guy.”Stay tuned for much more from Amble in 2025.ABOUT AMBLEAmble are Robbie Cunningham, Oisin McCaffrey, and Ross Mc Nerney, a three-piece ensemble of songwriters hailing from the Midlands and West of Ireland. Amble's debut EP, 2023's Amble (Live), introduced a new, musing, trad-tinged trio of songwriters to the Irish music scene, followed by 2024'shighly distinctive Of Land and Sea, found the group expanding their sound to an ever-more global audience. Their songs present indelible marks of deft rural-related storytelling and musicality that is equally traditional and current. Unusually for a contemporary group, all three members are songwriters. Every song tells a story. Robbie, Ross, and Oisin write songs that provide a quick getaway: one minute you're at the center of life's relentless storms, the next you're sitting in the shelter and warmth of your local bar on a chilly winter‘s evening with friends, a drink, and the reliability of a great song. The unique perspective of three individual songwriters creates a peerless body of work - built on the now familiar, ruminative observations on the world and more fitting to the Amble journey - the stories unfolding each day within it.We want to hear from you!

Tory leadership ballots have now gone out - and Conservative members must now chose if they want Kemi Badenoch or Robert Jenrick to lead their party. Unusually, both candidates come from the same wing of the party - the right - which begs the question, is there a genuine path for them to win over a wider electorate? We speak to the man spearheading the movement to find the Tories their route back to power, Grant Shapps.

Happy Spooky Wednesday! As summer fades and fall peeks it's head around the corner, we're always keeping it creepy here. First Kala discusses the cryptid known as the Chupacabra. A fairly new creature by most cryptid standards, this weird animal escapes any common description. Is it a coyote with glowing red eyes? Is it a kangaroo with bat like wings? The only thing people can seem to agree on is that it's creepy and it's killing livestock! But is it real? Or is there a scientific explanation behind the nocturnal, animal-killing beast? And Brittany tells us about the Fairbanks Memorial Hospital in Alaska. This active medical facility may not have the terrible history of many of the abandoned hospitals that we've covered on the podcast, but it still has its ghosts. Apparitions, phantom footsteps, cold spots, and other paranormal occurrences are so common in this building that they even have methods to address it with patients and staff. And apparently this isn't the only haunted active hospital, because Brittany had Reddit stories from other hospitals' staff members with their own creepy stories!
How has Sacramento's record-breaking hot summer compared to historical averages. Analyzing the recently-released forensic examination into CapRadio's finances. Finally, taking stock of the Sacramento Kings' offseason. Unusually High Summer Heat Sacramento has seen a record-breaking stretch of heat this summer, with multiple days soaring into the triple digits. KCRA Meteorologist and Climate Reporter Heather Waldman talks about why the days (and nights) have been so warm, how this summer compares to historical averages and records, and if any relief is on the horizon. CapRadio Forensic Examination Analysis A highly-anticipated forensic examination into Capital Public Radio's finances was released on Monday by Sacramento State. The redacted summary focused heavily on prior leadership at the public media station, and found several instances of misuse of funds and conflicts of interest at CapRadio, which is an auxiliary of the university. Insight producer Jen Picard joins host Chris Nichols to break the exam's findings, and lay out a timeline of how the station found itself in a financial crisis. Following NPR's protocol for reporting on itself, no CapRadio corporate official or news executive reviewed this segment prior to airing. Kings Offseason Review The Sacramento Kings broke a 16-year playoff drought during the 2022-23 season but missed out on returning to the playoffs a year later. Fox40 Sports Reporter Sean Cunningham discusses how the Kings have been retooling during the offseason, from inking coach Mike Brown to a multi-year extension, to landing All-Star DeMar DeRozan and re-signing guard Malik Monk.

The final episode from this season of Jigsaw, takes us to the South West of England. But Investigators believe that the man who fell to his death here, may have been from further afield. This is a case where there are multiple clues, including unusual reading materials and possible links to a library across the border in Wales.
