In this episode, we sit down with Nikki Young, host of the Serial Napper podcast, to take a deep dive into the disturbing and unsolved disappearance of 22-year-old Liam Tomen. On the weekend of January 31, 2025, Liam and two friends traveled from Whitby, Ontario, to the resort village of Mont Tremblant, Quebec, for a ski trip. After spending the evening at local village spots—ending at Le P'tit Caribou—Liam got separated from his friends. Surveillance footage captures him walking directly toward his hotel, L'Auberge du Voyageur, just minutes away. He never made it inside. Despite extensive search efforts using cadaver dogs, snowmobiles, helicopters, and pond drainage, no trace of Liam was found during the winter. Months later, as the snow melted, his wallet was recovered near a parking lot—intact with his ID and bank cards, but stripped of cash. With phone pings raising questions and a white vehicle spotted in the area, Liam's family continues to fight for answers. Key Case Details Name: Liam Tomen (22 years old) Date Disappeared: Late night Jan 31 / Early morning Feb 1, 2025 Last Known Location: Mont Tremblant Village, Quebec (near L'Auberge du Voyageur) Last Digital Activity: Text message sent at 3:15 AM; final cell tower ping on Feb 2 at 6:42 PM Key Evidence: Wallet recovered after spring thaw (cash missing) Reward Info: $50,000 reward active for information leading to his whereabouts Guest Information Guest: Nikki Young (@SerialNapper on all social media!)

Steve Hackett | The Roaring Waves | My Music with Graham CoathSteve Hackett has spent more than five decades creating some of the most influential guitar music ever recorded, from his groundbreaking work with Genesis to an extraordinary solo career that continues to evolve.In this episode of My Music, Graham Coath sits down with Steve to explore The Roaring Waves, his long-awaited collaborative album with fellow guitar legend Steve Rothery of Marillion.Together they discuss the eight-year journey behind the record, the friendship that made it possible, and why this is far more than a "guitar album". Inspired by the sea, the Yorkshire coastline around Whitby, and the power of nature, The Roaring Waves is an atmospheric, cinematic collection that allows two distinctive guitar voices to have a conversation without ever competing for attention.Steve shares stories from recording the album across multiple studios and home setups, explains how different guitars and unusual tunings shaped the sound, and reflects on what he's learned from working alongside Steve Rothery. The conversation also looks back at Genesis, GTR, Marillion, the enduring appeal of instrumental music, and why sometimes the most powerful notes are the ones you choose not to play.As always, this isn't just an interview about an album. It's a conversation about creativity, patience, collaboration, and a lifetime devoted to making music.In this episode, you'll discover:Why The Roaring Waves took almost a decade to complete.How Steve Hackett and Steve Rothery built a genuine musical partnership.The stories and locations that inspired the album.Steve's approach to guitar tone, recording and songwriting.Memories of Genesis, GTR and working alongside some of progressive rock's greatest musicians.Why creating space in music can be just as important as playing more notes.If you enjoy thoughtful conversations about music, creativity and the people behind the records, don't forget to follow My Music, leave a rating, and share the episode with another music lover.My Music is hosted by Graham Coath, bringing you conversations that go beyond the songs to explore the stories, inspiration and personalities behind the music.My Music is sponsored by 13th Floor Sound

Cream, John Mayall and the Paul Butterfield Blues Band on Eel Pie Island ... what Lennon said about Genesis “in the days before we could tweet it, sadly” … Apache, Man Of Mystery and the guitarists Hank Marvin inspired … how Phil Collins got to be the band's singer and the days when Phil and Peter Gabriel did Alan Whicker impressions onstage ...

Guest: Shagg Matthews from the Fire & Water Podcast Network joins John and Jim to discuss the penultimate story of Classic Doctor Who. The Darkest Hour(s) Before the Dawn The hosts are unified in their assessment: this is the darkest, most adult, most dramatically mature story of the entire series. It's not dark in tone alone—it's dark in theme, dark in implications, dark in what it reveals about the Doctor's character. One joke exists in the entire episode; everything else operates in shades of genuine dread. The production team clearly knew they were operating on borrowed time and decided to swing for the fences: a World War II setting, a genuine first-evil antagonist, psychological manipulation, body horror, and questions about faith itself. A Writer and a Producer in a Battle Over Hemovores Ian Briggs returned to Doctor Who after nearly a full season away—Andrew Cartmel had to convince JNT to give him another chance. Once given that chance, JNT immediately began second-guessing and meddling. The hemovores were originally supposed to look different, more monstrous. JNT thought they looked "rather rude"—apparently resembling a sexual organ—and demanded they be toned down. The final design: vampiric-looking humanoids that started as two schoolgirls. It's a compromise that somehow works brilliantly despite the behind-the-scenes friction. A Location Shoot That Feels Real Rather than attempt the Blitz with pyrotechnics and sets, Nicholas Mallet (returning from Paradise Towers) persuaded JNT to film entirely on location. They shot in Dorset and Northumberland, capturing genuine seaside cliffs and windswept locations. The weather cooperated and didn't cooperate simultaneously—freak conditions meant one day brought snow, the next sunshine, then rain. Rather than reshoot, they worked it into the story. McCoy kept his own heavy coat between takes; the production said it looked good, so he wore it throughout. Sophie Aldred handpicked her costume and refused to cover it with an overcoat, keeping her arms visible at all times. A Story That Was Never Meant to Be an Ending (But Knows It Is) Only John Nathan Turner knew the show was ending. Everyone else—including Sylvester McCoy, who'd signed a contract for Season 27—was operating under the assumption the show would continue. McCoy was all set to return; Sophie Aldred hadn't even been offered one yet. The BBC officially called it a "hiatus" while quietly beginning a competitive tender process to find a new production company. But among all the cast and crew, only JNT was preparing this as a potential final chapter. The others were simply making the next story. The Story: A mysterious entity called Fenric—described as one of the first evils of the universe—has been imprisoned for 17 centuries. In 1943, a small English coastal town becomes the battleground. Russian soldiers are hunting for a scientist named Judson, who's secretly developing a computer to decode German ciphers. The Doctor arrives to find ancient Viking ruins, encoded runes that must never be translated, and mysterious creatures rising from the water. When the runes are translated, Fenric's influence begins to spread. The true revelation: Fenric has been manipulating events for centuries, including the entire relationship between the Doctor and Ace. Production Details: Production Code: 7M Aired: October 15 – November 14, 1989 Writer: Ian Briggs | Director: Nicholas Mallet Guest Stars: Nicholas Parsons (Reverend Wainwright), Dinsdale Landen (Commander Millington) Filming Location: Lulworth Cove in Dorset; North Umberland or possibly Whitby (accounts vary) Notable Details: First Doctor Who story set in WWII (War Games covered WWI) All-location filming —rain, snow, and sunlight all captured genuinely Sophie Aldred dove into water three times to get the shot; divers had to follow her on the final take McCoy wore his personal coat between takes; production kept it in final cut Ratings: 4.3M, 4M, 4M, 4.2M (held above 4 million throughout) Music: Mark Ayers Novelization: Ian Briggs (same author), includes epilogue set in 1887 Paris Key Discussion Points: Why this story works as mature television drama The manipulation thread: Fenric manipulating the Doctor and Ace; the Doctor manipulating Ace for a greater good The distraction scene and whether it lands (or whether it makes viewers uncomfortable) Ace's fear of water: genuinely from the story, or character development invented for the finale? The Doctor's faith expressed through his companions' names (from novelization) Why the Ancient One/Great Serpent feels unnecessary when Madison and Fenric were compelling enough The Doctor being "on patrol"—Batman and Robin dynamics with Ace Ace's first genuine character arc across multiple seasons The seduction vs. the seduction scene: why one works and the other doesn't How this story informs RTD's approach to companion arcs in New Who Season 27 plans: Ace was meant to train for the Time Lord Academy The rain and weather: natural hazard or perfect cinematography? Coming Up Next: Monday (Patreon Exclusive 179): Music, Memory TARDIS, and "The Mark of Mandragora" comics. Friday (Patreon Early) / Wednesday (Main Feed): "Survival" (three-parter)—the actual final story of Classic Doctor Who. John handles narration; guest writer Paul Ebbs from England joins the discussion. Special Notes: This is the second-to-last classic Who story John mentions this is only the second time he's "mainlined" multiple episodes in a row (the first time being War Games) The hosts plan to do a retrospective episode after Survival covering favorite doctors, companions, and villains across all 26 years Shag gives credit to the novelization for revealing that the Doctor whispers the names of the First Doctor's companions (Ian, Barbara, Susan, Vicki, Stephen) as his source of faith against the hemovores Hashtags: #DoctorWho #Season26 #TheCurseOfFenric #ClassicWho #SylvesterMcCoy #SophieAldred #Fenric #DoctorManipulates #DarkestStory #DoctorWhoPodcast #PenultimateStory

How practical would it be to grow our food underground? It's a question being investigated by researchers at the University of Shefffield who are growing crops more than a kilometre below ground-level in a working mine near Whitby. The Environment Agency has produced its first ever annual report into agriculture and water in England. Taking data from the last five years, it assesses the impact of agricultural pollution from farms, and how water availability is being managed. Non-compliance with water regulations has dropped, but 40% of farmers are still breaking the rules. We've been taking a close look at commercial fishing all this week. Ten years on from the Brexit vote leading to the UK leaving the EU, some in the industry say that decision has had a lasting impact on their businesses, and not a good one. We hear from a scallop business in Scotland which says the industry needs more support.Many of us have been sweltering in the third official heatwave of the summer. For farmers with livestock, there's the continual worry that their animals might be overheating, or not drinking enough water. We speak to a farm vet about the impact heat stress can have on the health of livestock and the fertility of cows.Many farms have an education string to their bows nowadays but perhaps not quite on the scale of a farm near Kendal that's been hosting primary school visits for the Westmorland County Agricultural Society for the last 25 years. Hundreds of children from 42 different schools flock to Roger Mason's farm to learn what producing food is all about. Presenter = Caz Graham Producer = Rebecca Rooney
How practical would it be to grow our food underground? It's a question being investigated by researchers at the University of Shefffield who are growing crops more than a kilometre below ground-level in a working mine near Whitby. They're collaborating with Farm Urban, a company that specialises in vertical farming, but usually going up vertically rather than down; and they reckon this is the world's deepest vertical farm.We're taking a close look at commercial fishing all this week. Ten years on from the Brexit vote leading to the UK leaving the EU, some in the industry say that decision has had a lasting impact on their businesses, and not a good one. We hear from a scallop business in Scotland which says the industry needs more support.This year, the Royal Horticultural Society's annual show which is usually at Hampton Court has upped sticks and moved to the Badminton Estate in Gloucestershire. It's not just a good excuse for some of us to get out the floaty dress and sunhat for a summer's day out, events like this are an important showcase for the commercial nurseries who grow and sell the plants we buy for our gardens.

Continuation of our visit to Pannett Park in Whitby (UK). In this episode, we visit three gardens. The Jurassic garden takes us back to times when marine crocodiles and tree ferns inhabited the place which would ultimately become a busy tourist town. The wooden sculpture of Polynesian explorer Kupe can´t be missed when you enter the South Seas garden. He looks out over a special place. Ivonne is impressed by the garden's message. The themed garden is designed to form a link between Whitby, Captain James Cook (18th C) and the Māori. Ivonne spots Māori symbols in the garden, and a plant that has been widely used since the arrival of Maôri to New Zealand. Finally, the floral clock near a busy road brings us back to more recent times. Access our shownote for pictures and links!

The autumn wind howled across the rugged cliffs of Whitby, driving a thick, salty spray against the stone walls of the old rectory. Inside, the fire crackled, casting long, dancing shadows across the room where Mina Murray and her dear friend Lucy Westenra sat. Lucy looked pale, her usual bright spirit dampened by a strange, recurring dream of a dark silhouette outside her window.

He and his brother Chad (Mar. 2) were from an English family, educated under Saint Aidan (Aug. 31) of Lindisfarne. Both brothers entered monastic life at Lindisfarne and later became bishops. Cedd travelled as an evangelist among the people of Essex, where Saint Finan (Feb. 17) consecrated him to be their first bishop. He founded two monasteries in Essex, one of whose churches still stands; he built yet another monastery at Lastingham in Yorkshire, where he lived until his repose. He spoke both Irish and Anglo-Saxon, and served as a translator for the Irish at the Synod of Whitby in 664. He reposed at Lastingham not long after the Synod.

When the Russian schooner Demeter drifted into Whitby harbor with its dead captain lashed to the wheel and its entire crew missing, the ship's log revealed a horrifying truth: something ancient and evil had been hunting them one by one across the dark waters. The final entries, written in the captain's trembling hand, chronicle the crew's descent from unease to terror as they realize their cargo of fifty earth-filled boxes conceals a predator that feeds in the night and cannot be killed.Join the DARKNESS SYNDICATE for the ad-free version: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateTake the WEIRD DARKNESS LISTENER SURVEY and help mold the future of the podcast: https://weirddarkness.com/surveySOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…BOOK: “The Last Voyage of Demeter” by Bram Stoker: https://amzn.to/3KZnJ0zBOOK: “Dracula” (full novel) by Bram Stoker: https://amzn.to/44sXcj4=====(Over time links may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.
