Podcasts about Vary

This week we're covering a loaded weekend of Georgia indie wrestling! From huge Rumblejack wins to fan-booked chaos, here's the breakdown:

Read transcriptWelcome comic book crusaders and button-mashing vigilantes to another skull-crushing edition of Play Comics! This week we're strapping on our tactical vest, loading up our favorite dual-wielded firearms, and diving headfirst into the wonderfully violent world of The Punisher from 2005 – a game that dared to ask the important question: “What if we took Thomas Jane's already pretty intense Frank Castle and gave him access to every torture device known to humanity?” This PlayStation 2 and Xbox gem emerged from the blood-soaked minds at Volition (yes, the same folks who would later give us Saints Row) and decided that your typical comic book game needed more creative interrogation techniques and fewer moral boundaries. We're talking about a game so gloriously brutal that it nearly earned an Adults Only rating before getting the black-and-white censorship treatment that somehow made watching a guy get fed to piranhas even more artistic. Joining us for this revenge-fueled rampage is the incomparable Alex Squires from The StarWell Foundation and Opinions May Vary, a person who knows a thing or two about giving comic book villains interesting character development – though probably with fewer wood chippers involved than Frank Castle prefers. Together, we'll explore whether this 2005 digital bloodbath successfully captured the essence of Marvel's most morally questionable “hero,” or if it left us feeling like we'd been interrogated by the wrong end of a drill press. So grab your favorite non-lethal beverage, practice your best intimidating one-liners, and prepare to discover if this early PlayStation 2 era adaptation proved that sometimes the best way to honor a comic book character is to let them be exactly as unhinged as they were meant to be. Will we declare this game worthy of the Punisher skull, or will it get tossed off a building faster than a Gnucci crime family lieutenant? Time to find out! Learn such things as: What happens when power tools are used for evil? Are black and white things just inherently less violent? When are Gun and Knife a super power? And so much more! You can find Alex's current project, The StarWell Foundation, and his past project, Opinions May Vary, both on OMVPodcast.com and whatever method you use to listen to podcasts.

Proč se Janek Rubeš rozhodl odhalovat nešvary nebo turistické pasti a pomáhat tak návštěvníkům Prahy? Je podmínkou úspěšnosti videa dobře odvyprávěný příběh? V jakých situacích používají Kluci z Prahy skrytou kameru nebo skrytý mikrofon? Co mají společného zámečky lásky, které turisté věší na pražské památky, a zvon Jan Nepomucký v kostele sv. Havla? Co mu udělalo ještě větší radost, než ocenění, která za svoji práci získal? Proč stojí zato jít pěšky přes Nuselský most?

SUNNI BLU YO FUCK YOU SKRILLEX I TOOK YOU OFF MY SHOW, YOURE NOT IN THIS SHOW. I am this show. Look, I'm Skrillex. But why. I k ow l Right. {Enter a the Multiverse} Yo where the fuck is this. this is “eventually” How did I get to ‘eventually' Everything always gets to eventually… “Eventually” I get it. Yeah. Better than “if” Yes it is. Okay. A general lack of emotion stifled I already learned to know you Want to know more But can't smile At all No Building your creative assets directly feeds into your larger vision. Let's adjust your schedule to account for this. This will make July 1st and 2nd your core focus on recordings, and we'll factor in your necessary two hours of exercise before heading into Manhattan. Revised Schedule Focus: July 1st & 2nd (Sound Collective & Exercise) Morning (Focus: Personal Well-being & Prep for Sound Collective) * 6:00 AM - 6:30 AM: Wake Up & Hydrate * 6:30 AM - 8:30 AM: Exercise Block (2 hours total) * 6:30 AM - 7:30 AM: Peloton (minimum 1 hour) * 7:30 AM - 8:30 AM: Run (1.15 miles), Strength Training (Kettlebells, Squats, Boxing/MMA drills) – combine these to hit your 2-hour target. * 8:30 AM - 9:00 AM: Shower, Quick Breakfast, & Prep for Manhattan Trip Late Morning / Afternoon (Focus: Sound Collective Recordings) * 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM: Travel to Sound Collective (Factor in travel time to Manhattan from Brooklyn). * 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM: Sound Collective Recordings (7 hours of focused work) * Dedicate this entire block to collecting as many sounds and recordings as possible from the instruments you don't have at home. This is your core mission for these two days. * Be efficient: Have a clear plan for what you want to record, set up quickly, and maximize your time on each instrument. * Bring any necessary hard drives or recording devices to capture everything. * Brief lunch/snack break built-in during this period to maintain energy. * 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM: Travel back home. Evening (Focus: Wind Down & Light Tasks) * 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM: Dinner & Decompress from intense day. * 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM: Light Tasks / Flex Time (2 hours) * This is where you might fit in a bit of social media content creation/scheduling (since you're collecting new sounds, you'll have new material to tease). * Brief email check (focus on urgent items only, don't get sidetracked). * Organize recordings from the day: Quickly backup and label your new audio files. * 9:00 PM - 9:30 PM: Plan for the next day, particularly your Sound Collective objectives. * 9:30 PM - 10:00 PM: Wind Down * 10:00 PM: Bedtime Re-Prioritizing Beyond July 2nd: Once July 1st and 2nd are complete, your schedule will shift immediately to tackle the other critical priorities: * July 3rd, 4th, 5th (and potentially 6th & 7th if needed): Podcast Series Archiving (Hard Deadline: July 11th) * This becomes your absolute top priority immediately after Sound Collective. You have a tight window to get this done. Dedicate minimum 6-8 hour blocks to this daily until it's finished. * As discussed, meticulous documentation of dates and descriptions is crucial here. * Post-July 7th (or when podcast is done): Legal Packets for Noise/Harassment * As soon as the podcast archiving is complete, pivot to this. Prioritize securing that safe, quiet space outside your apartment to work on these sensitive documents. * Block out those 2-3 dedicated days for assembling the packets, going to the police station, and the Comptroller's office. * Ongoing Concurrent Tasks (Once Primary Deadlines are Met): * Finding a Stable Job: Dedicate 1-2 hours daily to applications, networking, and tailoring your resume. This is a consistent, foundational effort. * Assembling Pitch Packets for Series: Allocate specific blocks (e.g., 1-2 hours, 2-3 times a week) for research, outlining, and drafting core materials. * Rebranding -Ū.: Fit in 15-30 minute bursts for research into Apple Music visibility, name change analysis, and developing your rebranding strategy. * Mixtapes & DJ Sets: Once your core deadlines are met and you have your new Sound Collective recordings, you can integrate your 1-2 hours for this back into your daily routine. * Podcast Creation (daily 1 hour): This can also be reintroduced once the archiving is done and the legal packets are in progress. This revised plan ensures you hit your critical Sound Collective recording window while keeping your overall ambitious goals in sight. Remember to fuel yourself adequately and prioritize sleep during these intense days. You're tackling a lot, and your ability to adapt and prioritize is a strength. Here's your revised 7-day graveyard schedule, incorporating two 1-hour Peloton sessions daily: one after waking up and another low-impact session before bed for reviewing your sunrise mixtape. Important Notes for the Week: * Vary Gym Times: The 1-hour run and training slot between 11 PM and 3 AM remains flexible. Adjust it daily based on your assessment of when the gym is truly empty and when you feel safest. * Safety First: Given the stalking concerns, please continue to be highly vigilant. Vary your routes, be aware of your surroundings, and consider any additional safety measures recommended by the authorities or support organizations. Documenting incidents is crucial. * Amazon Fresh Delivery: I've kept the 2-hour Amazon Fresh delivery slot on Saturday. The exact timing might need slight adjustment based on Amazon Fresh's real-time slot availability. * Podcast Archiving Deadline: Keep the July 11th deadline for podcast archiving firmly in mind. This is your primary focus during the main "Core Music & Podcast Block." Graveyard Shift Schedule: July 3rd - July 9th Sunrise Times for NYC (approximate): * July 3rd: 5:29 AM * July 4th: 5:30 AM * July 5th: 5:30 AM * July 6th: 5:31 AM * July 7th: 5:31 AM * July 8th: 5:32 AM * July 9th: 5:33 AM Daily Template (July 3rd - July 9th) * 7:00 AM - 3:00 PM: Sleep * Prioritize deep, uninterrupted sleep. Use blackout curtains, earplugs, white noise. * 3:00 PM - 3:30 PM: Wake Up & Hydrate * Slowly wake up, drink water, have a light meal. * 3:30 PM - 4:30 PM: Peloton (Morning - 1 hour) * Get your blood flowing with a Peloton session. * 4:30 PM - 6:00 PM: Paperwork / Flex Time (1.5 hours) * This is your block for tasks like legal documents (Noise/Harassment packets - as soon as podcast archiving is done), organizing, emails (urgent only), job applications, assembling pitch packets. These tasks can tolerate some apartment noise. * 6:00 PM - 6:30 PM: Dinner & Decompress * Prepare and eat a substantial meal. * 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM: Prep for Night / Mental Wind-Up (2 hours) * This is a flexible buffer before your intense creative work. You could use it for: * Planning for the night's music/podcast work. * Light social media content creation/scheduling. * Brief research for rebranding -Ū. (15-30 min bursts). * On grocery shopping day, this might overlap with delivery/unpacking. * 8:30 PM - 11:00 PM: Core Music & Podcast Block (2.5 hours) * Podcast Series Archiving: This is your absolute top priority. Dedicate significant time here. * Work on sound design, recording (if applicable at home), or Mixtapes/DJ sets. * 11:00 PM - 12:00 AM (or flexible between 11 PM - 3 AM): Gym (1 hour) * Run (1.15 miles) & Strength Training (Kettlebells, Squats, Boxing/MMA drills). * Crucially, vary this time daily within the 11 PM - 3 AM window. Assess the gym's emptiness and your safety each day. * 12:00 AM - 12:30 AM (or immediately after gym): Shower & Post-Workout Fuel * 12:30 AM - 4:00 AM: Extended Core Music & Podcast Block (3.5 hours) * Continue Podcast Series Archiving (this is where the bulk of your 6-8 hour daily archiving will happen). * Dive deep into Mixtapes & DJ Sets preparation. * Focus on other creative music work that requires quiet. * 4:00 AM - 4:30 AM: Prep for DJ Set * Gather your equipment and head to the rooftop/lounge. * 4:30 AM - 5:30 AM: DJ Set at Sunrise (1 hour) * Utilize this time for your DJ sets while the rooftop and lounge are most likely empty, catching the sunrise. * 5:30 AM - 6:30 AM: Peloton (Low Impact - 1 hour) * A low-impact session to wind down and review your sunrise mixtape. * 6:30 AM - 7:00 AM: Wind Down & Prep for Bed * Tidy up, put away equipment, and prepare for sleep. * 7:00 AM: Bedtime Specific Day Adjustments: Thursday, July 3rd: * Morning/Day: Sleep (7:00 AM - 3:00 PM) * 3:00 PM - 3:30 PM: Wake Up & Hydrate * 3:30 PM - 4:30 PM: Peloton (Morning) * 4:30 PM - 6:00 PM: Paperwork / Legal Packet Review. * 6:00 PM - 6:30 PM: Dinner. * 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM: Plan for Podcast Archiving, brief Rebranding research. * 8:30 PM - 11:00 PM: Podcast Archiving. * 11:00 PM - 12:00 AM: Gym Time (adjust based on emptiness). * 12:00 AM - 12:30 AM: Shower & Fuel. * 12:30 AM - 4:00 AM: Podcast Archiving (main push). * 4:00 AM - 4:30 AM: Prep for DJ Set. * 4:30 AM - 5:30 AM: DJ Set. * 5:30 AM - 6:30 AM: Peloton (Low Impact). * 6:30 AM - 7:00 AM: Wind Down. * 7:00 AM: Bedtime.

Half a mile at 5.4 miles per hour was harder on my little pink treadmill—but it was better than nothing and I still hadn't climbed upon the Peloton. The half hour or so episodes of The Studio seemed excruciatingly somehow longer than an hour of listening to my own voice to enjoy the ride— and though it was my second time watching it through, it was like watching it with different eyes and ears; rather than the spectacle of seeing something I absolutely loved for the first time, it was dissecting it, and taking it apart, much like I had spent my final hours at the sound collective doing so with music that I loved, or admired, I respected— taking a nearly $4,000 mixer and pulling sounds I liked apart, and namingly, Skrillex once again had set himself apart, because even in slowing down to nearly a stop and pitching to the absolute lowest frequency, there was a clear reminisce of the song in entirety actually seeming to even sit in another dimension itself— the highs, lows, and mids couldn't be filtered out at all; there was always some sort of shadow or projection of the complete song intact that seemed to be in another space. That alone almost sent me crawling back just to listen to the greatest of times as far as Skrillex was concerned or even mattered; actually, in fact, in reality, or in waking life on whatever planet I was on, and wherever realm I lived, he almost didn't; I almost actually thought more of the tiny and petite women that were constantly surrounding him than he himself; and actually, moreso, when I did think of him at all besides musically— It was instantly a sudden hell of women and perfect bodies and luxury culture than it was about whoever had been inside once, flitting away at these monumental catophronic sonic masterpieces only to be nibbled at and eaten away by what fame monster lurks for he who stumbles upon it— the narrow mindedness of it, in fact, they I will still a shallow soul, and a jealous woman, and so besides musically, Sonny didn't fit into the Skrillex for much more than a moment, especially as I was reverse engineering the equation with the answer given first and calculating by removing the algebraic quantities— still gasping for air at how, which I was sure we all were, only known to the world in the ways he very much never did share or teach the concept that would blossom this sort of anomoly in his craft, and thereby creating this power over all of us who dare to call ourselves producers, or engineers, and nevermind the flocks pretending to be or ever-reaching toward becoming that. In my listening back to my newly acquired sound banks, I realized this as the impossible. Anyhow, there remained galaxies of space and time between the words and the ways I myself stuck upon gold as subtle genius, but only in these ways and not the other and in that sense I was sure I'd been consumed by not one monster, but a family of them— swallowed whole by a rabbit hole of sorts that seems to split into a cosmic and gaping black one, sweeping everything with it that was and wasn't which remained to be a subtle force of waking doom; the reality that I was both all of these things, and also— wasn't. What are you drawing? Conclusions. Classic. Did you feast on the blood of your enemies today? No. Did you look into the face of danger? No. Well— what did you do today? I'm actually just waiting on this Amazon order. Wreckage!

Evening (Focus: Wind Down & Light Tasks) * 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM: Dinner & Decompress from intense day. * 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM: Light Tasks / Flex Time (2 hours) * This is where you might fit in a bit of social media content creation/scheduling (since you're collecting new sounds, you'll have new material to tease). * Brief email check (focus on urgent items only, don't get sidetracked). * Organize recordings from the day: Quickly backup and label your new audio files. * 9:00 PM - 9:30 PM: Plan for the next day, particularly your Sound Collective objectives. * 9:30 PM - 10:00 PM: Wind Down * 10:00 PM: Bedtime Re-Prioritizing Beyond July 2nd: Once July 1st and 2nd are complete, your schedule will shift immediately to tackle the other critical priorities: * July 3rd, 4th, 5th (and potentially 6th & 7th if needed): Podcast Series Archiving (Hard Deadline: July 11th) * This becomes your absolute top priority immediately after Sound Collective. You have a tight window to get this done. Dedicate minimum 6-8 hour blocks to this daily until it's finished. * As discussed, meticulous documentation of dates and descriptions is crucial here. * Post-July 7th (or when podcast is done): Legal Packets for Noise/Harassment * As soon as the podcast archiving is complete, pivot to this. Prioritize securing that safe, quiet space outside your apartment to work on these sensitive documents. * Block out those 2-3 dedicated days for assembling the packets, going to the police station, and the Comptroller's office. * Ongoing Concurrent Tasks (Once Primary Deadlines are Met): * Finding a Stable Job: Dedicate 1-2 hours daily to applications, networking, and tailoring your resume. This is a consistent, foundational effort. * Assembling Pitch Packets for Series: Allocate specific blocks (e.g., 1-2 hours, 2-3 times a week) for research, outlining, and drafting core materials. * Rebranding -Ū.: Fit in 15-30 minute bursts for research into Apple Music visibility, name change analysis, and developing your rebranding strategy. * Mixtapes & DJ Sets: Once your core deadlines are met and you have your new Sound Collective recordings, you can integrate your 1-2 hours for this back into your daily routine. * Podcast Creation (daily 1 hour): This can also be reintroduced once the archiving is done and the legal packets are in progress. This revised plan ensures you hit your critical Sound Collective recording window while keeping your overall ambitious goals in sight. Remember to fuel yourself adequately and prioritize sleep during these intense days. You're tackling a lot, and your ability to adapt and prioritize is a strength. Here's your revised 7-day graveyard schedule, incorporating two 1-hour Peloton sessions daily: one after waking up and another low-impact session before bed for reviewing your sunrise mixtape. Important Notes for the Week: * Vary Gym Times: The 1-hour run and training slot between 11 PM and 3 AM remains flexible. Adjust it daily based on your assessment of when the gym is truly empty and when you feel safest. * Safety First: Given the stalking concerns, please continue to be highly vigilant. Vary your routes, be aware of your surroundings, and consider any additional safety measures recommended by the authorities or support organizations. Documenting incidents is crucial. * Amazon Fresh Delivery: I've kept the 2-hour Amazon Fresh delivery slot on Saturday. The exact timing might need slight adjustment based on Amazon Fresh's real-time slot availability. * Podcast Archiving Deadline: Keep the July 11th deadline for podcast archiving firmly in mind. This is your primary focus during the main "Core Music & Podcast Block."

These tasks can tolerate some apartment noise. * 6:00 PM - 6:30 PM: Dinner & Decompress * Prepare and eat a substantial meal. * 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM: Prep for Night / Mental Wind-Up (2 hours) * This is a flexible buffer before your intense creative work.

Half a mile at 5.4 miles per hour was harder on my little pink treadmill—but it was better than nothing and I still hadn't climbed upon the Peloton. The half hour or so episodes of The Studio seemed excruciatingly somehow longer than an hour of listening to my own voice to enjoy the ride— and though it was my second time watching it through, it was like watching it with different eyes and ears; rather than the spectacle of seeing something I absolutely loved for the first time, it was dissecting it, and taking it apart, much like I had spent my final hours at the sound collective doing so with music that I loved, or admired, I respected— taking a nearly $4,000 mixer and pulling sounds I liked apart, and namingly, Skrillex once again had set himself apart, because even in slowing down to nearly a stop and pitching to the absolute lowest frequency, there was a clear reminisce of the song in entirety actually seeming to even sit in another dimension itself— the highs, lows, and mids couldn't be filtered out at all; there was always some sort of shadow or projection of the complete song intact that seemed to be in another space. That alone almost sent me crawling back just to listen to the greatest of times as far as Skrillex was concerned or even mattered; actually, in fact, in reality, or in waking life on whatever planet I was on, and wherever realm I lived, he almost didn't; I almost actually thought more of the tiny and petite women that were constantly surrounding him than he himself; and actually, moreso, when I did think of him at all besides musically— It was instantly a sudden hell of women and perfect bodies and luxury culture than it was about whoever had been inside once, flitting away at these monumental catophronic sonic masterpieces only to be nibbled at and eaten away by what fame monster lurks for he who stumbles upon it— the narrow mindedness of it, in fact, they I will still a shallow soul, and a jealous woman, and so besides musically, Sonny didn't fit into the Skrillex for much more than a moment, especially as I was reverse engineering the equation with the answer given first and calculating by removing the algebraic quantities— still gasping for air at how, which I was sure we all were, only known to the world in the ways he very much never did share or teach the concept that would blossom this sort of anomoly in his craft, and thereby creating this power over all of us who dare to call ourselves producers, or engineers, and nevermind the flocks pretending to be or ever-reaching toward becoming that. In my listening back to my newly acquired sound banks, I realized this as the impossible. Anyhow, there remained galaxies of space and time between the words and the ways I myself stuck upon gold as subtle genius, but only in these ways and not the other and in that sense I was sure I'd been consumed by not one monster, but a family of them— swallowed whole by a rabbit hole of sorts that seems to split into a cosmic and gaping black one, sweeping everything with it that was and wasn't which remained to be a subtle force of waking doom; the reality that I was both all of these things, and also— wasn't. What are you drawing? Conclusions. Classic. Did you feast on the blood of your enemies today? No. Did you look into the face of danger? No. Well— what did you do today? I'm actually just waiting on this Amazon order. Wreckage!

Half a mile at 5.4 miles per hour was harder on my little pink treadmill—but it was better than nothing and I still hadn't climbed upon the Peloton. The half hour or so episodes of The Studio seemed excruciatingly somehow longer than an hour of listening to my own voice to enjoy the ride— and though it was my second time watching it through, it was like watching it with different eyes and ears; rather than the spectacle of seeing something I absolutely loved for the first time, it was dissecting it, and taking it apart, much like I had spent my final hours at the sound collective doing so with music that I loved, or admired, I respected— taking a nearly $4,000 mixer and pulling sounds I liked apart, and namingly, Skrillex once again had set himself apart, because even in slowing down to nearly a stop and pitching to the absolute lowest frequency, there was a clear reminisce of the song in entirety actually seeming to even sit in another dimension itself— the highs, lows, and mids couldn't be filtered out at all; there was always some sort of shadow or projection of the complete song intact that seemed to be in another space. That alone almost sent me crawling back just to listen to the greatest of times as far as Skrillex was concerned or even mattered; actually, in fact, in reality, or in waking life on whatever planet I was on, and wherever realm I lived, he almost didn't; I almost actually thought more of the tiny and petite women that were constantly surrounding him than he himself; and actually, moreso, when I did think of him at all besides musically— It was instantly a sudden hell of women and perfect bodies and luxury culture than it was about whoever had been inside once, flitting away at these monumental catophronic sonic masterpieces only to be nibbled at and eaten away by what fame monster lurks for he who stumbles upon it— the narrow mindedness of it, in fact, they I will still a shallow soul, and a jealous woman, and so besides musically, Sonny didn't fit into the Skrillex for much more than a moment, especially as I was reverse engineering the equation with the answer given first and calculating by removing the algebraic quantities— still gasping for air at how, which I was sure we all were, only known to the world in the ways he very much never did share or teach the concept that would blossom this sort of anomoly in his craft, and thereby creating this power over all of us who dare to call ourselves producers, or engineers, and nevermind the flocks pretending to be or ever-reaching toward becoming that. In my listening back to my newly acquired sound banks, I realized this as the impossible. Anyhow, there remained galaxies of space and time between the words and the ways I myself stuck upon gold as subtle genius, but only in these ways and not the other and in that sense I was sure I'd been consumed by not one monster, but a family of them— swallowed whole by a rabbit hole of sorts that seems to split into a cosmic and gaping black one, sweeping everything with it that was and wasn't which remained to be a subtle force of waking doom; the reality that I was both all of these things, and also— wasn't. What are you drawing? Conclusions. Classic. Did you feast on the blood of your enemies today? No. Did you look into the face of danger? No. Well— what did you do today? I'm actually just waiting on this Amazon order. Wreckage!

Při premiéře dokumentu Raději zešílet v divočině se karlovarský hotel Thermal otřásal v základech. Režisér Miro Remo v něm popisuje život šedesátiletých dvojčat Ondřeje a Františka Klišíkových, kteří žijí na šumavské samotě a publikum tápe, jestli už zešíleli, jestli jsou blázni, alkoholici anebo lidoví filozofové. V dokumentu vystupují oba divoce vousatí bratři, jejich pes, jedna kráva a býk. Snímek vznikl na motivy stejnojmenné knihy rozhovorů, kterou napsal Aleš Palán.

Send us a textYour intrepid FYF co-hosts Saint and Jim both sing lead in rock bands. As such, they're uniquely poised to make the case that — despite fan perception — the vocalist is NOT the most important person in the band. Regardless, the voice of any given group is still one of its most identifiable aspects. So while some bands play literal musical chairs with the folks manning the instruments, the singer's spot is typically less flexible. Even so, countless bands have swapped in a new singer mid-stream due to deaths, departures, or inter-band tensions. On this edition of FYF, the boys do a deep dive into bands that have replaced their frontmen, and the varying degrees of success (or failure) they've had in the wake of the personnel swap. 

S Karlovými Vary jsou neodmyslitelně spjatá dvě jména: Becher a Mattoni. Existuje však ještě třetí: Moser. Sklárna tohoto jména funguje už od roku 1857, kdy ji založil mladý rytec skla. Ludwigu Moserovi bylo tehdy 24 let. Na svět přišel 18. června 1833 do rodiny, která provozovala židovskou jídelnu. Ludwiga však místo hrnců a pánví zajímalo sklo. Fascinovala ho jeho křehkost a krása. Vyučil se rytcem a coby tovaryš strávil několik let na cestách po celé střední Evropě.

Over the years Darren and Mark have made…and seen…several mistakes. Today they're joined by Stage Time University faculty member Mike Davis as they discuss the mistakes they see most often…even after 30+ years of coaching. This episode feature mistakes #10 through #6 in the countdown. Avoiding these will help you to be unforgettable on the platform.   SNIPPETS:   • Avoid ending on Q & A or with a ‘THANK YOU' slide   • Circle back to your opening and end with impact   • Can your audience see themselves in your story   • Do research and homework to relate more closely with your audience   • Use present tense and phrases like “let me take you back…”   • End with punchy, concrete words   • Show the consequences of actions NOT taken   • Be clear on what is at stake   • Avoid continuous narration   • Use dialogue, body language and facial expression for depiction   6. Too Much “Tell,” Not Enough “Show” Why it matters: Narrating facts and feelings doesn't activate the audience's imagination. The brain craves visuals, dialogue, and motion.
 ✅ Fix: Include short bursts of scene-based storytelling. Show reactions. Use dialogue. Let us see and feel it.   7. Unclear If-Then Stakes Why it matters: Without an IF-THEN, there's no urgency. No reason to act. No consequence for staying the same. 
✅ Fix: Highlight the risk: “If I stayed silent, we would have lost the client. If I spoke up, I might get fired.”   8. Repetitive Sentence Structures or Passive Voice Why it matters: Flat rhythms, present participles, or soft endings weaken emotional impact and energy. 
✅ Fix: Use nouns and verbs up front. End sentences with punchy, concrete words. Vary rhythm.   9. No Audience Relevance or Personalization Why it matters: Some stories sound good but don't connect. If the audience can't see themselves in it, they tune out.
 ✅ Fix: Ask the reflective question during the story: “Have you ever felt like that?” or “What would you have done in that moment?”   10. Ending With a Fizzle, Not a Frame Why it matters: If the ending feels rushed, abstract, or purely emotional, the story won't stick. 
✅ Fix: Reframe the opening or image in a new way. Bring the story full circle. Land with clarity and resonance.   Work with Mark and Darren: https://www.stagetimeuniversity.com/get-a-speaking-coach/   Check Out Stage Time University: https://www.stagetimeuniversity.com

Active Mixing - From Boring to Baller Episode Overview In this episode, Michael Curtis shares practical strategies for creating more engaging, dynamic worship mixes. Drawing from his background as a professional bass player and mixer, he explores how intentionality and specificity can transform "boring" mixes into creative, engaging experiences that better serve worship environments. Time Stamps & Key Points Introduction [00:48] Michael introduces the concept of "active mixing" versus boring mixing The challenge: Moving beyond "it sounds fine" to creating engaging, dynamic mixes Creativity as the antidote to boring mixing Creativity Through Structure [01:41] Biblical concept of creation: bringing order from formlessness The playground analogy: Children with fenced playgrounds use 90% of the space vs. 30% without fences "Sometimes what feels like a straight jacket is actually a Narnia closet" Leadership through specificity and making finer distinctions Strategies for Worship Pastors [05:52] Prescriptive leadership can be valuable when appropriate The progression from 10 Commandments (prescriptive) to Sermon on the Mount (descriptive) Matching leadership style to team maturity level Create "sit-down chords" - signals that create clear expectations Setting up rhythms and cues that guide the worship team Organize tracks by function, not just instrument: Percussion: Rhythm-driving elements Foundation: Bass and low-end elements Filler: Pads and ambient elements Leads: Melodic elements that guide congregation Gamify growth paths for volunteers Create progressive learning steps (like unlocking levels in a game) Apply "arbitrary limits" that help beginners master fundamentals before moving on Name and assign musical ownership Clarify who owns each musical element at any given time Consider adding a dedicated "music producer" position Strategies for Musicians [12:36] "Rhythm Randy needs a retirement party" Moving beyond mindlessly strumming the chord chart Playing a part rather than just playing the chart Use the whole playground within boundaries Finding creative ways to express within structure Create "alley-oop" moments Intentional handoffs between instruments Setting up moments for other musicians to shine Beware of "bedroom vacuums" Sounds created in isolation often take up too much sonic space Smaller sonic footprint needed in larger ensembles Interesting is greater than good Focus on creating compelling sounds, not just technically correct ones Hire both "Jekyll and Hyde" Balance between foundational players and texture specialists Strategies for Front of House Engineers [18:57] Be the guide - lead with your decisions Take charge of the mix and make intentional choices Use contrast effectively Create distinction between elements (can't have "close" without "far") Highlight different instruments in different sections Anticipate "oops" moments, don't just react Push faders before transitions, not after they happen Vary verse highlights Intentionally feature different instruments in different verses Keep congregation engaged through variety Develop common tonal language The "5-1-2" system for describing frequency ranges Creating shared vocabulary for sound issues Reference the real Compare your mix to professional recordings Combat ear fatigue by checking against references Mise en place - everything in its place Strategic console layout for efficient mixing Positioning faders for easy access during active mixing Conclusion [24:25] Start with clear direction (10 Commandments approach) then move to principles (Sermon on the Mount) Have the courage to be specific with your team Embrace structure as a pathway to creativity Key Quotes "Sometimes what feels like a straight jacket is actually a Narnia closet." "Move away from playing the chart to playing the part." "It is in that company's best interest to give you a patch that sounds great out of the box, but that's taking up a lot of real estate to make it sound good on its own." "Be the guide, take charge, lead your congregation with your decisions." "There cannot be close if there's not far, there cannot be wide if there isn't narrow." "Interesting is greater than or at least equal to good." Practical Applications For Worship Pastors: Organize tracks by function rather than instrument type Create clear growth paths for volunteers Be appropriately prescriptive with newer team members For Musicians: Consider your sonic footprint within the full band context Play intentional parts, not just the chord chart Create sounds that are interesting, not just technically correct For Sound Engineers: Use your left and right hands strategically on the console Intentionally highlight different instruments in different verses Reference professional mixes to maintain perspective Connect & Continue For more insights on active mixing and creative worship production, connect with Michael Curtis and the Church Front team.

Nejde přitom jenom o neostřeji sledovanou sérii mezi Třincem a Spartou, kde se to kontroverzemi jen hemží a hemžit zřejmě bude. Různorodé ohlasy v éteru mají i duely mezi Kometou a Karlovými Vary. Dost příležitostí pro nový díl podcastu Zimák, kde tentokrát dojde i na ostřejší výměnu názorů mezi Radkem Dudou a Zbyňkem Irglem? Důvod? Zákrok brněnského Kristiána Pospíšila na Víta Jiskru v prvním utkání pod Špilberkem a veškeré okolnosti s ním související. Mikrofony obou expertů dostaly pod návalem zvýšených hlasů dost zabrat, ale nakonec to ustály. Do rozboru expertů Zimáku se dostanou všechny nynější čtvrtfinálové řežby, včetně návyků rozhodčích, s nimiž se v Zimáku ne úplně souhlasí.

The Mad World of ESOPs!  This episode reviews the roles ESOP professionals play and the reality of variance in one transaction to another.  We discuss the differences in costs, approaches to structure, closings, and other areas given the backgrounds, perspectives and objectives in leading the transaction.  This episode is intended to help orient the listener to questions they may want to ask on their journey to an ESOP. 

No Flat WritingA lot of writers will worry that their stories seem flat. There's a reason that they are worrying about that and it's one of the core elements of good writing.Ready?A lot of the times your story seems flat because all your sentences are the same layout.You want to vary your sentence structure.Take a bit of writing that you've done that feels flat—or maybe even one that doesn't. Count the words in your sentences for two or three paragraphs.Are they all five word sentences? Twelve? Twenty-seven?That robotic sameness in sentence length is one of the main reasons that writing can feel flat.It's like those ancient Dick and Jane books.See Dick run. See Jane skip. See Dick wave.The other big bugger is when all of your sentences are simple and declarative.I walk to the forest. The trees are gracious, tall. I inhale the pine scent.There is actually a whole, entire world of different sentence styles that writers can use and when you use them? That's when you make your writing shiny and sexy and all the good things.The names for these structures are pretty boring, honestly, but we'll try to look beyond that, right?Simple – You have one main clause.Carrie is the best wife.Compound – You have more than one independent clause. You probably use a conjunction.Carrie wants to get another dog, but Shaun keeps saying no.Complex – Oh, the sentence that probably has to pay for a therapist or is reading Foucault obviously in the park. This sentence has an independent clause and a subordinate clause.When hell freezes over, we will allegedly get another dog.Compound-Complex – It sounds like a place with a cult, right? But it's just a sentence with at least two independent clauses and one subordinate clause.Carrie really needs a new dog to love, so Shaun said that they would get one when hell freezes over, so Carrie immediately purchased some dry ice at WalMart and sent some down to Lucifer.So, to keep your writing from feeling flat, you want to vary those sentences. Why?It keeps the reader engaged. It helps highlight important details. It helps vary tone. It puts emphasis on things (especially when you use a short sentence for that). It sounds more real. People don't speak in identical sentence patterns. When they do, just like in your writing, it feels unnatural and stilted. It can be easier to follow when you change your sentence structure up.How do you vary the structure?Use different lengths, like we mentioned above Use different types of sentences like we also mentioned above. Throw in that complex sentence in the middle of all your simple sentences. Don't start all your sentences the same (the way I did up there).Refresher moments:What's a clause? A bunch of words chilling out together and one of those words in the group is a verb and another is a noun. Fancy people call the verb, the predicate, but we aren't fancy here.What's an independent clause? It is a bunch of words that has a subject and a predicate. Got fancy! It is grammatically complete all by itself and doesn't need anyone. Not any other words to stand alone! Darn it.What's a subordinate or dependent clause? A bunch of words that needs other words to be a sentence. This poor beautiful baby cannot stand alone and be complete, kind of like a protagonist in a Hallmark romance.DOG TIP FOR LIFE!Vary how you bark to your humans. Sometimes go ‘bark bark.' Sometimes go ‘barkwoofbarhbark.'

Wendy MacNaughton on her Substack Draw Together talked about negative space this week and she wrote,“Negative Space performs many functions: it focuses our eyes on the subject, it moves our eyes around a drawing or it keeps them still, it allows for visual space/room to breathe, and sometimes it gives the subject an extra layer of meaning.“For example, ever seen this logo before?“Sure, you've probably seen it a million times.“But have you noticed the hidden symbol in the logo?! Focus your attention on the negative space of the logo - the space between the letters. Do you see it? Look between the E and the X. Now do you see the arrow?? YES. It's subtle. It took me YEARS to see it. But once you see the arrow formed by the negative space you can't unsee it. In this case, designer Lindon Leader used the negative space to create an image that informs the meaning of the subject. An arrow takes your package from here to there. Very clever, Lindon.”This obviously has societal implications, which she writes about as well. She talks about sociologist W.E.B Du Bois' work Data Portraits: Visualizing Black America, which shows in data and visualization what was and wasn't going on.In writing, we call this negative space white space, right?How writers use it impacts readers' experiences.It focuses attention on shorter words and paragraphs. It gives a visual break—especially when it's at the end of the scene or chapter, right? A new chapter almost always begins on a new page. There's a reason for that. It's to let that last bit resonate. It's to signal, “Hey! Rock star! You just read a chapter!”So… how do you create white space?Make your sentences shorter. Vary these babies. Make your paragraphs shorter. Vary these babies, too. In articles, make lists. Make sure in dialogue that each person speaking gets their own paragraph. Don't embed the dialogue.WHY NEGATIVE SPACE IS GOOD IN OUR LIVES, TOOLast week, on our blog, I talked about how boredom is actually a pretty awesome thing.But basically, being bored allows us to have creativity, to replenish, to incubate ideas a and thoughts.RANDOM THOUGHT LINKOur random thought came from here.DOG TIP FOR LIFEPOGIE AND MR MURPHY DOG: This is 100% positive truth. We live about 65% of our lives in this white space where you think we're sleeping but we're really just chilling and trying to figure out how to get snacks in new ways.PLACES TO SUBMITThe Masters Review Short Story Award for New WritersEligibility: Emerging writers only Prize: $3,000 + publication + agency review Entry Fee: $20 Deadline: February 2, 2025Matthew Power Literary Reporting Award Eligibility: Early-career nonfiction writers Prize: $12,500 Deadline: February 19, 2025SHOUT OUT!The music we've clipped and shortened in this podcast is awesome and is made available through the Creative Commons License.

In episode 635, Prerna Malik teaches us how to create a welcome sequence to share content from our blog as well as sell digital products, like courses and ebooks, without being salesy or icky. Co-founder of Content Bistro and a Copyhackers-certified, conversion copywriter, Prerna is the sales strategist and copywriter behind multiple million-dollar launches and 6-figure evergreen sales funnels in niches as diverse as astrology and homesteading! She has written for iconic brands such as Pat Flynn, Amy Porterfield, Copyhackers, Vanessa Lau, Handle the Heat, School of Traditional Skills, and 1000s of others! She is also the creator of the strategy-focused sales copywriting program — Ready-to-Sell. Prerna and her co-founder-slash-husband, Mayank have built an intentionally profitable business while living in India and raising their daughter, Manini.  In this episode, you'll learn about how to sell in a way that you would want to be sold to, Prerna's 6C framework for an effective welcome sequence, and why you should not use generic email templates. Key points discussed include: Avoid using generic, plug-and-play templates for your welcome sequence: Your welcome sequence should be personalized and reflective of your brand and connection with your audience. A welcome sequence is not just one email: It should be a series of emails that guide your new subscribers through getting to know you and your offerings. Connection-based welcome sequences work best for food bloggers: Lead with building a personal connection before asking for a sale. Sell in a way you'd want to be sold to: Avoid tactics that make you or your audience feel icky, like fake promises or guilt-tripping. Use the "6C" framework: Celebrate the sign-up, Connect with your audience, Cultivate community, Convert with a sales pitch, Connect again with social proof, and Close by preparing them for your regular emails. Space out your welcome emails: Send them one day apart to improve deliverability and engagement. Include a story, specific details, and your expertise ("3S") in each email: This makes the content more engaging and valuable. Vary your offers in the email signature/footer: This allows you to show relevant products to different segments of your audience. Pay close attention to your subject lines and preview text: These are crucial for getting your emails opened. Remember that "selling is serving": Your products and offerings are valuable, so don't be afraid to promote them to your audience. Connect with Prerna Malik Website | Instagram

We got our Rich Roll on before this amazing episode! David's appearance on the Rich Roll Podcast came out this week, and we started with some takeaways from a surreal experience. We then pivot into some talk on protein in adaptation and recovery. When in doubt, the answer for us is often to throw some protein on it. Next was a truly wild study that looked at low energy availability and managed to do the impossible: it included a control group that was blinded to the intervention. How is it even possible to make subject unaware of their caloric intake? How could 2 weeks of intentional underfueling be allowed ethically? We delve into a new frontier of nutrition and performance science. And this one was jam-packed with fun topics! Other topics: banging the cymbal, what we learned in the few months since the Rich Roll episode was recorded, why enhancing "fat metabolism" via nutritional interventions has limited utility, a review study on swearing and performance, how that has implications for self-talk and internal monologues generally, the emerging science of continuous lactate monitors, our predictions for their future use, an article on the uncertainty of ketones, contrasting that with their widespread adoption in endurance sports, a study on gold medalist Kristian Blummenfelt, how he meets his astronomical fueling needs, how heart rate zones vary across athletes, why everyone is different with heart rate, and Listener Corner.
