SHOW NOTES — Varanasi and Dharamshala: India's Two Spiritual WorldsEpisode SummaryIn this episode, Max joins John Wright, a travel writer from Seattle, who travels through two of India's most powerful spiritual centers. Varanasi, a city that overwhelms every sense, and Dharamshala, a peaceful Himalayan refuge shaped by the Dalai Lama's presence. They share a spiritual reputation, but the experience of each place feels like stepping into opposite worlds.VaranasiVaranasi hits travelers with full force the moment they arrive. The Ghats along the Ganges are a nonstop procession of pilgrims bathing, priests chanting, and funeral pyres burning day and night. The air is thick with smoke, incense, and the scent of the river. Narrow alleys twist between temples, cows, vendors, and crowds moving in every direction at once. John describes Varanasi as a place where sanctity and spectacle collide. Anyone can declare himself a holy man and find followers. Tuk-tuks weave through traffic like bumper cars without the crashes. It is exhausting, unforgettable, and unlike anywhere else on Earth.A short ride away, Sarnath offers a rare pocket of calm. This is where Buddha delivered his first sermon, and the gardens and monuments feel worlds away from Varanasi's intensity.DharamshalaFlying into Dharamshala feels like entering a different India entirely. The Himalayas rise in front of you, and the air is crisp and clean. In McLeod Ganj, red-robed monks walk between monasteries, prayer flags flutter, and the pace of life slows to a gentle rhythm. Portraits of the Dalai Lama hang in shops and cafés, not as decoration but as expressions of genuine affection. Locals describe him as compassionate and authentic, and his presence shapes the entire community. Even the monkeys seem to have their own personalities, swinging across wires and lounging in the sun.The Dalai Lama's temple is simple on the outside but beautifully decorated inside. Visitors sit quietly, many in traditional Tibetan dress, absorbed in prayer and reflection.The ContrastVaranasi is loud, raw, and overwhelming. Dharamshala is calm, reflective, and shaped by mountain silence. One city feels like a spiritual circus; the other feels like a sanctuary. Both reveal different sides of India's spiritual identity.Other Pilgrimage Stops MentionedMathura, birthplace of Krishna, filled with peaceful temples and prayerful devotees. Amritsar, home of the Golden Temple, one of India's most welcoming sacred spaces.Travel TipAll temples in India require visitors to remove shoes and socks. Sandals make life easier.Call to ActionIf you enjoyed this journey through India's spiritual contrasts, subscribe to the GoNOMAD Travel Podcast on Apple Podcasts and never miss an episode.

The Peyton Randolph House stands at the heart of Colonial Williamsburg, once home to the first president of the Continental Congress and generations of one of Virginia's most powerful families. Today, it's also called one of Williamsburg's most haunted buildings. Visitors report children running through empty rooms, apparitions beside beds, and unexplained activity in the basement—including a security guard who claimed something physically grabbed his legs in the dark. But beneath those stories is a history far more unsettling than the legends: epidemic disease, slavery, attempted escapes, and people who disappear from the historical record after fighting for their freedom. Tonight, we explore the Peyton Randolph House—and what happens when centuries of genuine human suffering become tangled with the stories we tell about ghosts.

CAPTION  JANUARY 1960CONTENTS OF THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW,  9-11-2026Global Currents: From Mission History to Interstellar VisitorsThis broadcast overview explores a diverse range of current events and cultural history, beginning with a look at California's coastal missions and the potential impact of a super El Niño. The narrative transitions into legal and political updates, specifically addressing mail-in ballot validation and the preservation of a historic casino sign in Las Vegas. Economic and geopolitical concerns are highlighted through rising fuel prices and military tensions at Middle Easternshipping choke points. Scientific discussions follow, covering the geological formation of Italy, the growth of commercial space travel, and the study of interstellar comets. Finally, the broadcast highlights a literary biography of George Sand, celebrating her as a groundbreaking French novelist and intellectual.California History Disasters And Ocean SwellsJeff Bliss speaks from San Luis Obispo, describing the 1772 Spanish mission built to project military and religious control in early California. Reflecting on the 25th anniversary of 9/11, he recalls being in San Luis Obispo preparing to fly to San Francisco when the attacks occurred, noting how generational memory of the event has shifted over time. Additionally, he discusses the severe damage along the Southern California coastline caused by Hurricane Marie's high heat, humidity, and massive swells that eroded beaches and threatened Amtrak rail lines. Finally, he highlights efforts to restore the iconic Circus Circus clown sign in Las Vegas. (1)Legal Challenges To Postal Voting RulesRichard Epstein analyzes the appellate court decision halting the Trump administration's proposed Postal Service mail-in voting rules. Epstein argues that while the government claims postal regulatory authority to combat potential fraud, applying restrictive envelope and documentation requirements acts as a harmful monopoly power over state election procedures. He emphasizes that the Postal Service lacks the necessary equipment, programs, or execution capability to process millions of ballots neutrally before the election, risking widespread voter disqualification. Epstein also criticizes President Trump's campaign promise to distribute $5,000 checks to adult citizens if Republicans win Congress, calling it an unfeasible and populist bribe. (2)Inflation Pressures And Local Pennsylvania ElectionsJim McTague reports on economic and political developments in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Rising gas prices—reaching $4.26 at Costco and up to $4.60 elsewhere—alongside diesel exceeding $6 per gallon, are squeezing family budgets and slowing retail activity across the region. Dining out costs have also increased substantially. On the political front, McTague discusses a visit from a campaign canvasser for Republican state representative candidate Tom Jones, who is challenging incumbent Democrat Malone. Notably, the canvasser actively avoided discussing Donald Trump, highlighting how local candidates in this traditionally Republican county are downplaying national party affiliations. (3)Wines And Cuisine Of Monferrato ItalyLorenzo Fiori explores the Monferrato region in Piedmont, Italy, highlighting its picturesque landscape of rolling hills, vineyards, and historic villages. He details the region's rich viticultural offerings, including Barbera red wines, Dolcetto, white wines such as Gavi, Cortese, and Arneis, as well as Asti Spumante and Vermouth. Fiori also describes regional culinary specialties, such as agnolotti—stuffed meat pasta served with butter, sage, or roast sauce—alongside beef tartare, truffles, and amaretti biscuits paired with Moscato d'Asti. He recommends visiting during September and October to experience the vibrant autumn colors, ideal weather, and seasonal food pairings. (4)Small Business Trends And AI ConcernsGene Marks discusses current economic conditions, noting strong corporate profits alongside owner concerns over rising regulations and labor costs. Warning of inevitable market contractions, he advises business owners to build cash reserves and credit lines. Marks also addresses workplace artificial intelligence trends, observing that younger workers often fear AI job displacement due to economic uncertainty, driving higher enrollment in trade and technical schools. Furthermore, he notes widespread distrust among business owners toward big tech executives regarding data privacy and security, even as businesses selectively adopt AI tools to enhance productivity. (5)Literary Legacy Of Novelist George SandFiona Sampson, author of Becoming George, Part Two: Sampson discusses French author George Sand (Aurore Dupin), examining her distinct appearance, unconventional attire, and public identity in 19th-century Paris. Sand broke social taboos through her independent lifestyle, extramarital affairs, and progressive writings on women, ecology, and working-class lives. Sampson outlines Sand's complex personal relationships, including her tense dynamic with her daughter Solange, her supportive role for her son Maurice, and her nine-year relationship with composer Frédéric Chopin, whose artistic output she enabled. Additionally, Sampson highlights Sand's deep literary friendship and correspondence with Gustave Flaubert and her enduring influence on modern literature. (6) Nuclear Proliferation And Orbital Space WarfareHenry Sokolski examines non-proliferation concerns surrounding Saudi Arabia's pursuit of domestic nuclear power and uranium enrichment capabilities. He questions proposed inspection arrangements and "black box" proposals, highlighting technical limits in detecting clandestine material diversion and warning of security risks in active war zones. Turning to space security, Sokolski describes a war game simulating a 2039 crisis between the United States and China over space-based interceptor networks like "Golden Dome." He warns that orbital systems designed for missile defense could also be deployed offensively to conduct space launch blockades or disable satellites, urging public debate over primary orbital military missions. (7)Commercial Space Boom And Planetary ExplorationBob Zimmerman, author of the 2017 policy paper Capitalism in Space, outlines a commercial space boom, predicting 14 operational rockets launching by early 2027—half of them American—which will significantly lower orbital launch costs and expand private enterprise. He details corporate developments involving Firefly, Relativity, Vast's commercial space station plans, and Europe's Exploration Company. Zimmerman also highlights India's efforts to privatize its space sector under Prime Minister Modi. Moving to planetary exploration, he notes the Curiosity rover's milestone climb up Mount Sharp on Mars, past discoveries of unique interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, and Chandra X-ray Observatoryfindings revealing low-energy X-ray objects across distant galaxies.

After 16 years, three cities, and a reported $1 billion, the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art is finally opening in Los Angeles! During Member Previews, we got to experience so many amazing things - including Episode 1 of Star Wars: Detours!! This series was nearly complete when Disney bought Lucasfilm in 2012 and shelved it. After 14 years you can finally watch the first six episodes in one of the museum's two screening rooms. Richard and I share several more highlights, including:✨ Exploring the museum's breathtaking architecture and library ✨ Taking in the Star Wars Cinema gallery ✨ Standing in the presence of a nearly full-size N-1 starfighter ✨ Discovering original comic artwork and artists' sketches ✨ Finding some unexpected statues on the museum's grounds The museum officially opens to the public on September 22, so we offer important tips including ticket, dining, parking, reservation, and digital-guide facts to help plan your own visit.

On the September 9th edition: The Atlanta City Council sets up a parking bill of rights; Cow sculptures are coming to DeKalb County; And the National Park Service approves a plan to increase visitor traffic on Georgia's Cumberland Island, but wildlife advocates are worried.

What if more traffic is the wrong answer? If you want to grow local business, running ads before fixing your website can make an expensive problem bigger.Paid traffic only works when the page it lands on makes sense. Visitors should understand what you do, who you help, why they should trust you, and what to do next. More clicks cannot repair unclear messaging or weak website copy.This local business marketing checklist gives you five things to fix first: messaging clarity, website copy, a consistent voice, a referral and review system, and content repurposing. You'll see why each one matters before increasing ad spend.With local advertising strategies, the ad gets attention; your website continues the conversation. Your homepage should connect your service to the problem your customer is trying to solve, rather than reading like a service menu. Clear messaging makes marketing local business relevant and easier to trust.Reviews and referrals should not depend on hoping happy customers remember to recommend you. A simple system makes social proof easier to collect and easier for new visitors to believe. When you repurpose customer questions and useful answers, content marketing local can support your website, social content, email, and future ads.The goal isn't a perfect website. It's a foundation that helps attention turn into calls, bookings, and leads. Before increasing ad spend, make sure the experience after the click is ready to grow local business.If you're wondering how to market local business more effectively, start with the foundation: message, copy, consistency, reviews, and repurposing. That's how you grow local business without paying for more traffic.Book a website copy audit for a second set of eyes on your messaging and copy, and find where your site is making potential customers work too hard.To book: lindsaysmithcreative.ca/auditThis episode was mixed and edited by Cardinal Studio.

Welcome to the daily304 – your window into Wonderful, Almost Heaven, West Virginia. Today is Tuesday, Sept. 8, 2026. …and now for the rest of the stories…on today's daily304.com! #1 – From WVU – Building West Virginia's outdoor economy West Virginia's mountains, rivers and trails aren't just great places to play. They're part of a growing economy. The West Virginia University Brad and Alys Smith Outdoor Economic Development Collaborative has released its 2025 Impact Report, highlighting its work to use outdoor recreation as a tool for economic and community development. The collaborative works across West Virginia to connect outdoor recreation, workforce development, entrepreneurship and communities, helping create opportunities around one of the Mountain State's greatest assets: the outdoors. Read the report: https://oedc.wvu.edu/2025-smith-oedc-impact-report/?utm_content=384817798&utm_medium=social&utm_source=linkedin&hss_channel=lcp-71496659 #2 – From LONG WEEKENDS – Tune in to 100 years of technology in Huntington Want to see the only surviving television camera from the 1939 New York World's Fair? Or hear the surprisingly impressive sound of a 1915 phonograph cylinder? Head to Huntington's Museum of Radio and Technology. The museum houses about 3,000 objects, including vintage radios, televisions, telephones, computers, telegraph equipment and record players. It's housed inside a 10,000-square-foot former school building dating to the 1920s. There's plenty of West Virginia broadcasting history, but the collection stretches well beyond the Mountain State. Visitors can find everything from a 1927 RCA Radiola once owned by Chicago's Wrigley family to that one-of-a-kind World's Fair television camera. Filmmakers also turn to the museum for period radio and television props, with pieces from its collection appearing in Martin Scorsese's Killers of the Flower Moon. The nonprofit museum is open Saturdays and Sundays, and admission is free, although donations are welcome.

The operator of a large hotel chain in New Zealand says diverting a portion of International Visitor Levy funds to councils is a good first step. If re-elected, the National Party is pledging to allocate $385 million over four years to councils, the portion each council gets will depend on the number of international visitors they host. Councils would have to use the money for things like events, tourism promotion, and visitor infrastructure. The announcement was made at Auckland's Sudima Hotel yesterday, after criticism from mayors over National's u-turn on investigating an accommodation levy in 2027. The hotel's New Zealand operating officer Les Morgan was at that announcement, and spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Alec Newald was a normal guy who found himself in the midst of an extraordinary experience. One evening, during a routine drive to Auckland following a painful divorce, he experienced what he initially thought was a car crash. He soon realized, however, that he had actually been transported to an alternate reality, surrounded by unusual entities that would alter the course of his life.ZocDoc - https://www.zocdoc.com/lightsoutQuince - https://www.quince.com/lightsoutHungryRoot - https://www.hungryroot.com/lightsoutRocketMoney - https://www.rocketmoney.com/LIGHTSOUTRula - https://www.rula.com/lightsoutPrefer Video?

Welcome to the daily304 – your window into Wonderful, Almost Heaven, West Virginia. Today is Sunday, Sept. 6, 2026. …and now for the rest of the stories…on today's daily304.com! #1 – From WV SECRETARY OF STATE – West Virginia is looking for its next generation of poll workers Want to see firsthand how an election works? West Virginia Secretary of State Kris Warner has a suggestion: become a poll worker. More than 8,400 poll workers are needed to help administer West Virginia's Nov. 3 General Election across more than 1,600 precincts. Poll workers help set up voting locations, verify voter information, issue ballots and secure election materials after the polls close. They're also paid for both training and Election Day service. And this year, there's something new. For the first time, eligible West Virginia high school juniors and seniors can serve as poll workers under legislation passed earlier this year. Students must be in good academic standing, receive parental or guardian consent and complete the required election training.

This year, it's also a showcase for West Virginia entrepreneurship. The West Virginia Hive will feature six of its client businesses during the 46th annual Bridge Day celebration on Saturday, Oct. 17, at the New River Gorge. Visitors can meet the entrepreneurs behind Mariposa Hollow of Glen Morgan, Hinton Outfitters of Hinton, Kraken Glass N Crafts and Sunbeams & Moonshine Creations of Talcott, The Wooly Gorge of Oak Hill and Wild & Untamed Things of Alderson. WV Hive Regional Business Advisor Devon Fitzgerald says each business started simply with an idea. The Hive has worked alongside the entrepreneurs as they've built confidence, grown their businesses and turned those ideas into sustainable ventures.

Helsing plans to invest an initial $50 million to establish advanced manufacturing operations in Berkeley County, creating at least 60 high-skilled, full-time jobs. The new Martinsburg facility will manufacture advanced defense systems, adding to West Virginia's growing aerospace, defense and advanced manufacturing sectors. And workforce development is part of the plan. West Virginia Advance and Blue Ridge Community and Technical College will develop specialized training to prepare workers for the advanced manufacturing jobs the company needs. The investment also adds to a much bigger run of economic development announcements. Since October, the Morrisey administration says more than $12.9 billion in private-sector investments have been announced, representing more than 13,700 projected jobs across the state.

Parapsychologist Lisa Puzo Strickland joins us for a wide-ranging, unrestrained conversation about the thread she sees running through everything: consciousness. From precognitive dreams she started having at fifteen, while attending a private Baptist school in the middle of Los Angeles, to a PhD in philosophy and parapsychology and a deep dive into the UAP/NHI field, Lisa makes the case that psi, nature, non-human intelligence, and even brain-computer interfaces are all wired to the same source. The through-line is fear, and what to do with it. Lisa's refrain, "you don't prepare someone for fear with fear", anchors a talk that moves from the amygdala hijack to the Minoans meeting the octopus, from biomimicry and Velcro to the overview effect, from Congressional disclosure to a lecture where the lights started dancing. It's optimistic without being naive: a call to open the aperture, keep your feet in the ground, choose credible sources, and meet whatever's coming together. (00:30) Welcome (01:00) Precognitive dreams at fifteen — and reconciling psi with a strict religious upbringing (04:00) Pastor Rasmussen's "God laid it on my heart" moment, and resolving conflicting beliefs as psychological blocks (05:30) Radio in LA, West Hills sightings, and mistaking the others for Hughes aircraft (07:30) Leaving the entertainment industry; the PhD, and finding the science behind the paranormal (08:00) Consciousness as "the train and the train tracks" — the connective tissue between humans, nature, UAP/NHI, and AI (13:00) Control, "othering," and divide-and-conquer as the oldest trick in the book (15:00) Nature as the model: collaboration over predation (16:00) The radio-station metaphor — nobody is a passive player (20:00) Biomimicry: Velcro from cockleburrs, and the vine that shelters instead of smothers (26:00) The amygdala hijack, mantises, and the "four types" (27:30) The Minoans and the octopus; eclipse fear; "you don't prepare someone for fear with fear" (31:00) The octopus as a genuinely alien consciousness (33:00) Telepathy, channeling, missing time, levitation, teleportation — the parapsychology inside the UAP experience (35:00) A VIP dinner with three very different guests, and how it all looped together (38:00) The "aliens.gov" debacle, gatekeeping, and advocates who become the apparatus (40:00) Humility as a neurological trigger, and the three most powerful words: "I don't know" (41:00) The lecture where the lights started dancing (43:00) Glimmers, awe, and the overview effect (45:30) Adaptability and belief — why "we're not ready" is insulting (48:00) Fear, done thoughtfully — horror as a way to war-game the unknown (50:00) Coming disclosure, Congress, and a deep respect for experiencers (55:00) Why there's no single "grail" file — and why decentralization might be the good news (57:00) Gratitude to the media, the local-news equalizer, and getting everyone to the same table Notable moments "Consciousness isn't just that bridge. Consciousness is the train itself. It's the train and the train tracks." "You do not prepare someone for fear with fear." "I've always thought that the three most powerful words in the universe were 'I don't know.'"

Her search to understand intuition ran through religion, psychology, philosophy, and spirituality, and a turn toward quantum physics surfaced the parallels between nature, science, and paradigm-shifting life principles that eventually led to a PhD in Philosophy and Parapsychology. Her work now spans AI, cryptocurrency, biomimicry, and the pending disclosure of non-human intelligence (NHI/UAP) — all of which, she argues, connect. Lisa lives in Franklin, TN, with her husband and two children. Find Lisa: Website: LisaPuzoStricklandPhD.com Facebook: Lisa Puzo Strickland, PhD

God Is Building His Church in the Midst of WarFor many people, Ukraine is known primarily through the images and stories that come out of the war: destroyed buildings, missile strikes, soldiers at the front, and families who have lost loved ones. But spending time in Ukraine reveals something that is harder to see from a distance. People are still living their lives, churches are still gathering, communities are being served, and Christians are continuing to share the hope of the Gospel.Recently, Gospel Today had the opportunity to sit down with Graham Marshall, who was visiting Ukraine for the first time. Graham and his wife, Sharon, have been connected to ministry in Ukraine for more than 30 years, dating back to their involvement with Ukrainian churches and ministry leaders in the 90s. After eight days in the country, Graham shared some of the things that surprised him and how the visit changed his perspective on life and ministry during wartime.Seeing Ukraine for the First TimeGraham knew before coming that Ukraine was at war, and some of his family members wondered whether it was the right time to visit. For Graham and Sharon, however, there was a confidence that if God was leading them to come, there was a purpose in being there.One of the things that surprised him was how little military presence he saw in everyday life. He expected to see more soldiers and more obvious signs of the war. Of course, there were reminders of the destruction, particularly during their trip to Mykolaiv, where they saw places that had been damaged by missiles. He also noticed that there were relatively few men on the streets, as many are serving at the front. But what stood out even more was that ordinary life continues.Life Continues During WarGraham was struck by the fact that people were still paying attention to things that might seem unimportant during wartime. In parks and public spaces, flowers were being planted. People were reading books and spending time together. At a prayer meeting, he met a woman who had spent time composing poetry.These things may seem small, but they revealed something significant about the Ukrainian people. There is still a desire to build, create, and prepare for a future beyond the war. People are not simply focused on surviving the present, they are looking forward to the day when the fighting will end and Ukraine can once again be a place of peace and beauty.After more than four years of war, Ukrainians have also had to learn how to continue with everyday life. The constant urgency and fear that marked the beginning of the full-scale invasion cannot be maintained forever. People still have to work, read, spend time with others, and carry on with daily responsibilities.That does not mean the war has become less painful or that people have forgotten what has happened. Instead, it demonstrates the resilience of a people who continue to value life and look toward the future.Remembering Those Who Have Been LostAt the same time, the reality of war is impossible to separate from everyday life. Graham described sensing a quietness among many Ukrainians, comparing it to the atmosphere of a memorial service. During a walk through the city, he came across a memorial with dozens of Ukrainian flags representing people who had been killed. Behind each flag was a person with a family and a story: fathers, husbands, grandfathers, and sons.For Ukrainians, the war is not something happening somewhere far away. It has affected families, churches, and communities personally. The loss is visible throughout the country, even as people continue with their daily lives.The Church Is Serving Its CommunityOn the other hand, a big encouragement for the Marshalls was what they saw in Ukrainian churches. During his visit, he had the opportunity to visit several churches and meet with pastors in the Mykolaiv region, as well as churches in Odesa. His impression was that the churches were healthy. In several places, churches were expanding their facilities, and unbelievers were coming through their doors looking for hope and answers.For pastors and ministry leaders, the circumstances have created opportunities to preach the Gospel and serve people who are searching for something they cannot find elsewhere. Rather than simply waiting for the war to end, these churches are actively reaching their communities and looking for ways to bring glory to God in the middle of difficult circumstances.One example was a humanitarian aid distribution that Graham attended. Around 300 people came to receive bread from the church. However what made the ministry particularly meaningful was that this was not a temporary response. The church had been providing this assistance for four years. That kind of sustained service demonstrates the role the church can play during a crisis. The church is meeting practical needs while building relationships with people in the community and creating opportunities to point them toward Christ.God Is Building His ChurchThe growth of some Ukrainian churches is particularly striking when considering everything the war has taken from the country. Graham and Caleb discussed how many pastors and ministry leaders have left Ukraine since the beginning of the full-scale invasion. Yet, even with those losses, churches remain. Some churches continue to grow, and some are even being planted.From a human perspective, it can be tempting to explain church growth through systems, programs, finances, or leadership. Those things can certainly be useful, but the situation in Ukraine provides a reminder that the work of building the Church ultimately belongs to God.We often see circumstances from a very limited perspective. We see pastors leaving, families being separated, and people suffering. We naturally focus on what has been lost. But God sees what we cannot see, and He is able to work through circumstances in ways that we may not immediately understand.As Graham reflected, God can use difficult circumstances to accomplish His purposes and build His Church.God Working Through SufferingThis also changes the way we think about suffering. Caleb noted how easy it is to say that God is working “despite the war.” But he has come to think about it differently: God is working through the war.That does not make the suffering good, nor does it minimize the pain Ukrainians have experienced. But it reminds us that suffering does not place God outside of His purposes. He remains sovereign, even when we cannot understand what He is doing.Ukraine's experience also reminds us that suffering itself is not unique to one country. The circumstances may be different, but every person will eventually experience some form of pain, loss, or tragedy. The scale of Ukraine's suffering may be different, but the human need for hope is the same.The question is where we turn when suffering comes.

This book told me I was not alone and it set me on a journey of queer lit.Today we meet Greg Howard and we're talking about the queer book that saved his life: A Boy's Own Story by Edmund White.Greg's critically acclaimed, debut middle-grade novel The Whispers was nominated for an Edgar Award and was named a Best Book of 2019 by Advocate Magazine. His second middle-grade novel Middle School's a Drag, You Better Werk! was an Amazon Teacher's Pick. The Visitors, his third middle-grade offering, was a 2022 New York Public Library Best Book. Also, the author of the young adult novel Social Intercourse, Greg's new middle-grade book, The Travelers, just came out on August 25, 2026.In A Boy's Own Story, the unnamed narrator of Edmund White's first autobiographical novel finds solace in literature, works of art, and his own fantastic imagination. Lyrical and poignant, A Boy's Own Story—the first of a trilogy, followed by The Beautiful Room Is Empty and The Farewell Symphony—is an American literary treasure that became an instant classic upon publication for its pioneering portrayal of homosexuality.Connect with Gregwebsite: greghowardbooks.combluesky: @greghowardbooks.bsky.socialinstagram: @greghowardbooksfacebook: @greghowardbooksOur BookshopVisit our Bookshop for new releases, current bestsellers, banned books, critically acclaimed LGBTQ books, or peruse the books featured on our podcasts: bookshop.org/shop/thisqueerbookBuy your copy of A Boy's Own Story here: https://bookshop.org/a/82376/9780143114840Buy your copy of The Travelers here: https://bookshop.org/a/82376/9780593111918Become an Associate Producer!Become an Associate Producer of our podcast through a $20/month sponsorship on Patreon!

Today's poem is Visitor's Center by T Bambrick.The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, guest host Myka Kielbon writes… “Today's poem takes me back to a specificity of a Washington State public school education: learning the intricacies of salmon, sturgeon, dams, ecology, and electricity. What I didn't see then, that I see now, is the tension between control and appreciation of the natural world. That our modern lives rely on a system built by lionizing the will of man.

Built at the turn of the century, it offered compassion long before the world understood addiction, trauma, or the fragile human mind. But when tuberculosis swept through its halls, hope gave way to fear, and the building's purpose twisted into something far darker.

The Composite Two-Star Recruits podcast return to break down the USC Week 0 visitors for San Jose State, reaction to initial 2026 depth chart and a season prediction from Hurricane?TIME STAMPS(0:00): El Nino(10:27) USC Week 0 Visitors(45:32): Friday Night Lights Recap(01:04:51): First 2026 USC Depth Chart Reaction(01:32:48): Listener Questions

A guy scales the St. Louis Zoo big-cat enclosure, an alleged staged fender bender turns into an armed robbery and multiple police chases, and then we attempt to save everybody's relationships with the 777 Rule. Welcome to another comedy podcast where apparently the only thing separating civilization from complete chaos is a zoo fence and a shared Google Calendar.We start locally at the St. Louis Zoo, where a man decided the normal pedestrian experience simply wasn't immersive enough. Visitors spotted him climbing over a barrier and sitting on elevated artificial rockwork above the big-cat habitat. He never came into direct contact with the animals, nobody was hurt, and he eventually climbed back onto the pedestrian path before being detained. Naturally, the crew's biggest takeaway is that the whole thing had enormous “I bet you won't” energy. Also: please don't be the person who makes the zoo build a gigantic fence because you couldn't resist becoming part of the exhibit.Then things get significantly less goofy with a warning about staged fender-bender robberies. We get into a Florissant case where suspects allegedly rear-ended a Volvo to force the driver to stop, only for the situation to turn into an armed robbery, a fight, a stolen vehicle and multiple police pursuits. Somewhere along the way, the unnamed Volvo driver becomes “Johnny Volvo,” the suspects become the “Jeep Boys,” and this comedy podcast briefly transforms into the least legally sound self-defense seminar ever broadcast.The conversation eventually lands on a much less felonious subject: the 777 Rule for relationships.The idea is simple: every seven days, prioritize a date. Every seven weeks, spend a night away together. Every seven months, take a longer getaway. The point isn't necessarily expensive dinners, luxury hotels or constantly disappearing to a tropical island like you've committed financial crimes. It's intentionally making time for the person you're with before work, kids, chores, schedules and general life nonsense turn you into two ships passing in the hallway.That kicks off a surprisingly thoughtful debate about whether the 777 Rule is realistic, especially when listeners point out that dates, overnight stays and vacations cost money. The crew argues that the exact numbers and activities aren't really the point. Take a walk. Go for a drive. Pack a picnic. Hit a park. Complain together. Whatever works. The goal is to actually prioritize each other instead of realizing six months later that your most meaningful conversation recently was about who forgot to move the laundry.Moon shares how getting away with his wife to review the previous year, plan family goals and figure out priorities has become genuinely valuable. Rizz talks about those brutally busy stretches where work, kids and household responsibilities can leave couples feeling like they barely see each other. Lern points out that sometimes “the funk” simply happens when you stop spending time together. And Rafe reminds everybody that relationships are something you actively build, which is dangerously reasonable territory for this show.We also establish that the 777 Rule can become the 888 Rule, 555 Rule or whatever schedule actually fits your life. The number seven isn't magical. The commitment is the important part.And yes, somehow this eventually leads to Naked Tuesday, hotel-room romance, cheap date ideas and the suggestion that Illinois residents apparently settle relationship problems with sunsets near a levee. We cannot stress enough that this is technically a comedy podcast.So enjoy Episode 6: zoo escapades, robbery shenanigans, relationship advice and another morning where the conversation travels approximately 900 miles without ever leaving the studio.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
