Following the conclusion of long-running X-Men and Spider-Man programs that dominated Saturday morning TV ratings during the early-to-mid 1990's, the Fox network commissioned Saban to adapt other Marvel properties to replace them. Among them was The Silver Surfer, starring a spacefaring wanderer with a psychedelic aesthetic, thematic ties to medieval folklore, and an enduring cult audience. The show, which earned solid ratings but was still canceled after one season due to Saban's financial struggles and Marvel's bankruptcy issues, drew heavily from the style of comics artist Jack Kirby and the ponderous melodrama of comics writer/editor Stan Lee. It also borrowed many concepts and characters from writer/artist Jim Starlin, including Gamora, Drax, Thanos, and other figures that are now household names due to the Marvel movies. While Rachel isn't really all that into superhero comics, her Star Trek fandom spurred Ryan to tap her for this recording since The Silver Surfer had episodes written by Trek luminaries like Harlan Ellison and D.C. Fontana. The main discussion point for this one centers upon how the cartoon approaches The Silver Surfer's grief, guilt, and attempts at penance for serving the world-devouring Galactus; the hero for this show is, no matter how you slice it, complicit in the deaths of trillions of sentient beings and that has been handled in a variety of ways by the Silver Surfer's creative teams over the past seven decades. Other thematic topics include Christian allegory, Lovecraftian cosmic horror, the Silver Surfer's philosophical parallels to Star Trek, and whether the Silver Surfer has a functioning penis under all that chrome (Ryan feels compelled to mention that Rachel is the one who brings that up). --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/ryan-valentine3/support
The fatigue of preparing for baby Jonah is getting to Rachel and Alex and wow what an experience. While Rachel is doing the physical work, Alex has also been preparing to birth a baby as well. His new digital series, Highly Unlikely. Listen along as Rachel and Alex share more of an intimate take on their lives, what's next for them in their journey, and why "The Debate Team" was a great alternative name for the podcast.

Today's siyum is sponsored by Lynn Horwitz for the 6th yartzeit of רחל יונינה בת ישראל יעקב ולאה רייזל which will be on the first night of Pesach, Leil HaSeder. "It seems fitting to sponsor this siyum in Rachel’s memory as it was Rachel who inspired me to start daf yomi. When Rachel decided to go to Frisch for high school, to help her catch up to the boys who would be in her honors Talmud shiur, we arranged her to have a Sunday morning Talmud "boot camp". The Rebbi insisted that a parent attend as well so I joined her and together we learned basic gemara vocabulary and how to parse a sugya. While Rachel used these skills to hold her own in shiur, in an attempt to keep up with her growing knowledge of Torah, I began daf yomi, a cycle I completed with the help of Rabbanit Michelle Farber’s podcast. While Rachel’s years on this earth were short, her intense embrace of family, friend, nature and learning made a strong impression on and continues to inspire all who knew her. תנצבה And by Allison and Akiva Shapiro in honor of their daughter Meira’s completion of Masechet Pesachim and dedication to daf yomi. And by Avigail Gordon in honor of her daughters. "Tzipora, whose love of learning and dedication to daf yomi inspired me to start this journey in the first place, and Adira, my Pesach baby, who got a headstart in her Talmud learning as she grew inside me. May your lives always be full of Torah learning and commitment, and may you continue to know and learn from and with inspirational female scholars like those in the Hadran community. It is my great honor to learn with them, and with you." Why did the rabbis determine that meat that was pigul and notar, that was left beyond the time that was permitted to eat the meat, were to make hands that touched them impure? What were they trying to prevent? And what proportion is the requisite amount that is needed to transfer impurity? There was be a blessing for eating the meat of the Paschal sacrifice and for the chagiga sacrifice. Does a blessing on one of them exempt the other? And if so, which one? Rabbi Yishmael and Rabbi Akiva disagree. What is the basis for the controversy? In the redemption of the firstborn son, pidyon haben, the father blesses the blessing on the redemption. Who blesses the blessing shehechiyanu - the priest who benefits because he receives money or the father who benefits from the observance of the mitzvah? It is ruled that the father of the son blesses that blessing also.

Pairing religious guilt with sexual self-discovery (not to mention a masterful double entendre of a title), Yes, God, Yes is a new coming-of-age film full of awkward comedy, the inevitable result of teaching strict morality lessons to hormonal teenagers. While Rachel relates better to an upbringing of Christian intensity than Luke does, both agree that Yes, God, Yes works well for anyone who remembers the discomfort of just trying to fit in.

We started with Rachel’s educational and professional trajectory and eventually branched off into a larger conversation on the Seattle QTPOC DIY community - it’s roots in anti-imperialist and anti-fascist work. Rachel is a dedicated educator and activist and it was inspiring to hear them discuss these topics and I hope you enjoy the conversation!MUSIC NOTE:- This week you got to hear tunes from the new Macseal album, “Super Enthusiast,” which was recently released by 6131 Records.- If you’ve been around the podcast for a minute, you might remember that I interviewed Macseal’s drummer, Francesca Impastato, about femme representation in the music scene last year - check it out HERE!- On this episode, you got to hear the tracks, “Mystery Inc,” “Lucky for Some,” and “Graduating Steps.” You can check out the entire “Super Enthusiast” album through all of the streaming platforms - including the band’s bandcamp account!

We're not trying to tantalize you with our headline or to shock you with a provocative thought. We're merely stating a fact. A fact with which you can't disagree. When you think about it, sex is what's selling menu items at restaurants across America since 70% of servers in the US are women and the lion's share of those buying meals and tipping are men. And many a woman server knows what sells and uses her charms to her advantage. So who is responsible for this episode's headline (and truism)? None other than Rachel Siggers, a young woman who started her restaurant career at age 17, who has seen the seedy side of the industry, and spills the beans on what happens between server and customer on this latest edition of Tip Not Included with Host, Eric Levine. It was the over sexualized environment of the restaurant industry, in fact, that lead Rachel to leave it. While she wore a mask when she waited tables and saw the money flow in, she eventually recognized that the biz didn't energetically jive with other elements in her life. For Rachel, the restaurant world was a step, something you do in the meantime, or as she says "the in between time" to get to where you need to be. While Rachel got out, many women who stay are victims of sexual harassment from their co-workers or management, with the staggering statistic of 1/3 of restaurant workers saying they don't report such harassment out of fear of losing an income-making shift or of retaliation. Eric shares some heartbreaking letters from those who have suffered in silence. The take away: If you see something, experience something...Say something! Don't know what to ask or whom to turn to, then ask Miss Google. Contact Eric at: eric@tipnotincluded.com
Today, we are joined by Rachel Street, host of the DIY Network’s Philly Revival. Rachel has a lot to share with listeners today as she talks about what it takes to flip homes and why the Philadelphia real estate market is so unique. Rachel has had an exciting career path. Her dream was to be an opera singer, but in her youth, she had her first brush with construction working on carpentry projects with her dad. After a career as an opera singer in Italy, Rachel came back to Philadelphia and jumped into real estate. Rachel said, “I came into the real estate industry doing underwriting for commercial properties, but I had a real interest in residential. So, I became a residential broker and got started renovating houses as a contractor.” While Rachel was busy starting her business renovating and selling homes, she learned a lot about what works. “Most renovators think that neutral is the best way to go and that everything should be cookie cutter. I think the opposite. I am focused on design-driven renovations. I look for personality and charm in houses and try to bring that out,” Rachel commented After building a successful career, the opportunity to host a DIY show came, and she was excited to share her vision with others. She also found that there were other women working in construction. “Before the show, I hadn’t met many women in the field. Now, I’ve been able to grow a community of women who have the same love for renovating that I do,” Rachel shared. She also loves working in Philadelphia because of its culture and history. “There are so many unique neighborhoods and older homes to renovate, which I love. I want to honor the history but also add in some modern elements,” Rachel said. Get some inspiring ideas as to the trends Rachel is seeing in home design, and why she thinks color is critical to a successful flip by listening to the full podcast.

In episode 123, Kestrel welcomes Rachel Temko, the founder + creative director of Whimsy+Row, to the show. A lifestyle brand for the creative, adventurous lady, Whimsy+Row not only offer their clothing + goods online, they also have a lovely freestanding store in Venice, California. "I started Whimsy promoting other brands, and that to me is like - we should all be in this together to spread the word and make everybody aware that this is more of a lifestyle." -Rachel Temko, Founder + Creative Director of Whimsy+Row In this episode, Rachel shares her journey toward taking the leap to start her own company, and how much the creative energy of her family has inspired her over the years. Additionally, Kestrel + Rachel discuss this new age of influencers, and Whimsy+Row's approach to hiring them for their marketing efforts. While Rachel believes you have to use a combination of influencer marketing mixed with more traditional styles today, she sees the extra benefit of receiving valuable content through influencer partnerships. Rachel also shares more on her larger vision for Whimsy+Row, which involves building an eco-conscious community first, and a fashion brand second. The below thoughts, ideas + organizations were brought up in this chat: "A Guide To Working With Niche Influencers", article on Business of Fashion that Kestrel mentions "I first want Whimsy+Row to be an eco-conscious community, and second - a clothing brand." "What's great about working with influencers - what I really love - is that you get more content. So, maybe if you didn't get a ton of sales out of the post, you might get some beautiful content that you can repost, and your customers can see firsthand how it looks on a different type of person and body shape, so that's where I think working with influencers can be better than doing paid advertising." "I mean we think about what we eat all the time and what we consume - why are we not thinking about what we're putting on our largest organ on our body?" "I think the easiest thing we can all do is just reinventing what we already have in our closet." "Now that I only buy sustainable brands or vintage, I find that my stuff lasts longer, and I'm more connected to the pieces that I own."

The Lodgers takes place in Ireland in the early 1900s. A family curse holds orphaned twins Rachel (Charlotte Vega) and Edward (Bill Milner) hostage, sectioned off from the outside world as punishment for the mistakes of their long-deceased kin. The rules are simple: be in bed by midnight, allow no one past the gates, and if either of them attempts to escape, the other will be met with a vengeful retribution. There are spirits both within and surrounding the walls of their estate to ensure these rules are enforced at all times. When Rachel’s fate intertwines with Sean (Eugene Simon), a local war hero, she begins to believe it might just prove feasible to risk it all. While Rachel and Edward’s plight is similarly horrific, they vary on the appropriate way to address it. Edward clings to his life, no matter how pointless it might seem, as Rachel grows stronger every day in the belief that it is a richer existence to taunt the prospect of death than to live solemnly on the outskirts of life. Vega’s performance perfectly captures a tortured soul on the cusp of maturity, dangerously on the precipice of rebellion. Milner’s character is much more desperate, losing his grasp on reality as he clings to his pitiful life of solitude and despair. Simon’s Sean spends most of his screen time both enraptured with Rachel, while bewildered at her conundrum. Having the entirety of The Lodgers engulfed within a gothic atmosphere – bleak color aesthetic, tragic circumstances, ominous fog – affords director Brian O’Malley the opportunity to compliment his sleek visuals with meticulous audio cues that accent the dread carried within every frame. The film also bears the distinction of being partially filmed at Loftus Hall, an infamous “haunted house” in Ireland, whose natural look evokes feelings of paranoia both on screen and off. For our exclusive interview, director Brian O’Malley discusses the complexities and inner workings of filming The Lodgers. He explains how writer David Turpin came to take part in scoring the film, deciding that Charlotte Vega and Bill Milner completed his fateful pair, and what it was like filming within the walls of a bona fide haunted house. Take a listen to the interview below, and be sure to catch The Lodgers in select theaters and on VOD beginning February 23, 2018.
