Podcast appearances and mentions of Williams Street

Minister for Finance, Trade, Employment and Training Ros Bates has had an $67,000 office makeover at 1 Williams Street at the Queensland taxpayers expense. Premier David Crisafulli and Deputy Premier Jarrod Bleijie requested two televisions each, totaling $10,000. Meanwhile Youth Justice Minister Laura Gerber’s office requested a quote for a television to be installed because it was required to watch Parliament, but it was rejected due to the cost. Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast said "the last thing it [1 Williams Street] needs is a makeover."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sue Stockdale talks to Cobe Williams, the Director of U.S. programming for Cure Violence Global, as he reflects on his upbringing in Chicago, his exposure to street and gang life, and the impact of violence in his community. From childhood memories of block parties to the absence of a father figure leading him to the streets, Kobe shares poignant moments that shaped his life and perspective on the importance of addressing violence in communities. Learn how Cobe turned his life around to focus on community work, relationships, violence prevention, and the impact of the Cure Violence Global model. About Cobe WilliamsRicardo "Cobe" Williams's journey from the depths of gang life to becoming an international symbol of peace is nothing short of remarkable. His life story reads like a screenplay - born into the notorious Black Disciples, a childhood marred by the brutal murder of his father, and years spent navigating the treacherous waters of gang leadership. Yet, his astonishing turnaround - from gang leader to award-winning peacekeeper and community activist - offers a blueprint for social reform worldwide.His work has been celebrated across media outlets like People Magazine and he has earned many accolades, including the Hero Award from Phillip Zimbardo and the United Nations Peace Award. Cobe serves as Director of US Programs for Cure Violence Global, overseeing training and technical assistance for more than 50 sites across more than 20 cities. Cobe travels the globe training violence interrupters in mediation and conflict resolution strategies. Connect with Cobe Williams via Interrupt The Violence.com Key Quotes“It's important to listen and get to know people and build relationships.“ A lot of youth feel nobody listen to them."“ A lot of times people, on the news when somebody got shot or somebody got killed or whatever, they always say it's gang related. That's not true. A lot of this violence is interpersonal.""I can help save somebody's life. It feels good to know I saved somebody from getting shot and getting killed."“People don't just wake up and say they want to do something bad to somebody, right? But a lot of times people they don't know how to ask for help.""Meet people where they are. Don't judge nobody because you never know what they've been through and what they're going through.""It's not how you start, but it's how you finish."Time Stamps[03:16] Turning point in court.[06:40] Interpersonal violence beyond gangs.[10:48] Credibility and community impact.[12:44] Sports and community building.[17:56] Overcoming struggles and inspiring others.[20:47] Building relationships and understanding.Connect with Access to Inspiration: Twitter | Facebook | Instagram | LinkedIn | Read our Impact Report and if you would like to support us then Buy Me A CoffeeProducer: Sue Stockdale Sound Editor: Matias De EzcurraBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/access-to-inspiration--4156820/support.

Space Ghost hosts an aftershow panel with Meatwad, Early Cuyler, and Sharko, and it goes about as well as you'd expect.... as in, not everyone makes it out alive. This week we're tackling an infamous Adult Swim mashup that aired directly after Perfect Hair Forever. Luckily, you don't have to have seen Perfect Hair Forever to appreciate this panel discussion because in true Williams Street fashion, they never actually discuss what they're supposed to. Sharko explains his lineage. Space Ghost brags about his anal fins. Early drinks a lot of Jack. Meatwad wants some candy.

The incredible Adult Swim mashup you probably didn't know existed. On New Years Eve 2003, Adult Swim aired a "buttload" of bumps between all their new episodes that night. These bumps had the Brak family hosting a New Years Eve party, with the sexiest of Williams Street guests. We see Carl hit on Sealab 2021's Debbie, Meatwad throw up with Brak, Frylock meet an old invention, and Shake pee in a bag. This thing is criminally underrated, and I'm so glad we are able to give it the attention it deserves!   References:  • Watch Bashington's New Years Eve Party: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69VYL15XQUE   ★ Support The Show + Get Extra Episodes • Patreon: patreon.com/dancingisforbidden   ★ Amazon Affiliate Links - Support The Podcast At No Extra Cost! • Aqua Teen Forever Plantasm 4K: https://amzn.to/3Svy2ea • Aqua Teen Forever Plantasm BluRay: https://amzn.to/3dLcKKS • Aqua Teen Forever Plantasm Digital: https://amzn.to/3t8cqtv • Baffler Meal 20 Disc DVD Box Set: https://amzn.to/3fmznWf   Contacts:  Leave a voice message: speakpipe.com/dancingisforbidden Discord: https://discord.gg/NpjSXPECw6 Instagram: @AquaTeenPod Twitter: @AquaTeenPod Email: DancingIsForbiddenPod@gmail.com YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9yseLj27npIZlEnM8ooBaQ Listen on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCe5gFb5eAYH3nyF3DZ5jwhQ Website: dancingisforbidden.com Twitch: twitch.tv/ronnieneeley

Adult Swim's Ned Hastings continues his time on Thunder Talk with more anecdotes and insights from his storied carrier at Williams Street, including more on the upcoming film “Aqua Teen FOREVER: Plantasm”. As a senior sound editor, Ned discusses the creative DNA that indelibly bonds to any project the sound editor contributes to and, in many cases, lives on into the future. Though the comparison would be that of a world renowned maestro to a child spitting into a kazoo, Dan felt a profound association with Ned's explanation of the intimate connections he's formed with the actors, characters, and material during the sound editing process. Dan only realized this, however, while he was sound editing Ned for this episode. Oh, and they're both ridiculously addicted to Star Wars Toys! They talk about that too. Matt Rozo – FEVR, also returns with that sweet synth sound and continues to lend the sounds of his hopes & fears to the Exile on Williams St. soundtrack. In our second interview we take a deeper dive into his musical catalog and he drops the latest single off his new album, “Suffer”! All that, plus the whole gang keeps the geek-out going with caddy chit-chats ranging from The Walking Dead, Star Wars, streaming services, SC Comicon, etc… One person's trope is another person's identity, tonight on the second album of our Season 5 Premier: Exile on Williams St. LP2

HB 583, a bill concerning multiple K-12 education laws in Ohio, has been approved by the state legislature and is set to arrive on Governor DeWine's desk soon. The bill contains changes to laws concerning students receiving EdChoice private school scholarships and parents of dyslexic students. It also extends districts' ability to hire substitute teachers with only a high school diploma by another two years. The bill expands EdChoice to include some families whose children previously received state funding for private education or whose siblings received such funding. HB 583 has drawn criticism from the Ohio Education Association, who are opposed to the idea of forcing taxpayers to pay to send children to mostly religious private schools which tend to under-perform compared to their public school counterparts. HB 583 also loosens requirements for charter school sponsors in Ohio, a move that has earned them some criticism from both charter school critics and advocates. Both groups raise issue with the lowered accountability this will allow school sponsors to get away with in the state. The bill also pushes back the start of dyslexia screening requirements by one year. Electric company AES Ohio, formerly Dayton Power and Light, is currently seeking approval from the state to disconnect customers remotely for non-payment. Duke Energy Ohio and AEP are already exempt from the in-person notification that AES is currently required to give before shutting off service. A spokesperson for the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio said Tuesday that there is no timeline as yet for when we can expect to see a ruling on this case. The move has drawn criticism from the Office of the Ohio Consumers' Council, Advocates for Basic Legal Equality, and the Ohio Poverty Law Center. These groups raise concerns over the language AES uses regarding “vulnerable customers;” AES has proposed “limiting” the number of such customers who would be subject to remote disconnection, which the OCC argues is insufficient. All vulnerable customers, such as people with disabilities or the elderly, should be exempt from the remote disconnection process, they argued in their recent filing. PUCO staff have also recommended against the proposal, saying it does not sufficiently communicate the change in disconnection practices to customers. Currently AES gives customers two notices before disconnection in the winter months but only one notice in the summer, which may be particularly troubling. Tuesday, June 14, was the hottest day Dayton has seen in nearly ten years. Temperatures soared to a peak of 95 degrees at the Dayton International Airport, with a heat index of 107 and humidity in the 70s. Closer to the city center, temperatures rose even one or two degrees higher due to the urban environment. This coming at the same time as power outages across Ohio has put many Daytonians in a precarious position, with National Weather Service meteorologist John franks calling the heat “oppressive.” Nighttime lows stayed above 70 degrees, depriving residents of what would typically be a welcome respite from the daytime heat. Cooling centers have opened across the Dayton metro area for those affected. There are locations in Dayton, Oakwood, Riverside, Moraine, West Carrolton, Washington Twp., and Warren County. As Dayton and Montgomery County Public Health tells us, the three most important things are to stay cool, stay hydrated, and stay informed. Visit www.phdmc.org/extreme-heat for more information. A fire broke out Tuesday on the roof of the Mendelson Liquidation Outlet building downtown, producing large clouds of black smoke that were spotted around 11:30 a.m. The building is currently undergoing major renovations to be converted into apartments, offices, and retail space. Dayton fire chief Jeff Lykins reported that the blaze likely started when construction crews cut into or worked on an object with rubber or fuel inside. The fire was small and quickly extinguished, but produced the aforementioned smoke that chief Lykins said made the fire look “more impressive than it actually was.” The damage was contained to roofing and the damaged vessel, and nobody was injured.

Governor Mike Dewine on Monday announced that he has signed HB 99 into law, allowing teachers and other school personnel to carry firearms in classrooms. The bill goes into effect 90 days after being signed. This has been met with significant pushback from Ohio Democrats including former Dayton mayor Nan Whaley, who is also the Democratic nominee running against DeWine for the office of governor of Ohio. Governor DeWine admitted on Monday in his press release that there is no data to support the idea that arming teachers will reduce school shooting incidents, but said he has been told “anecdotally” that it will work. HB 99 also includes $6 million for school safety centers across Ohio, a continuation of the governor's previous efforts to expand behavioral health care across the state. The decision to arm teachers was influenced by the impracticality of schools training and arming hired school security personnel according to the state's current standards, which requires such personnel to have 700 hours or 20 years of law enforcement experience. In contrast, under HB 99, teachers will require only “up to” 24 hours of firearm training before being permitted to carry weapons in the classroom. Schools across the state have responded in various ways to the announcement; some saying they will arm teachers, some saying they won't, and many offering no comment at this time. School districts are not required to arm teachers under HB 99, and those that do are allowed to demand stricter requirements than those set forth by the state government. On the subject of Mike DeWine's repeated loosening of Ohio gun laws, HB 215 went into effect as well on Monday, allowing concealed carry of handguns without a license in the state of Ohio. Any Ohio resident otherwise allowed to carry a gun will not be required to seek a concealed carry license, and Ohioans with existing licenses will not be required to renew them. With this, Dayton Police has announced changes to the way officers will interact with the public, particularly during traffic stops. Officers will be encouraged to regularly ask motorists and residents if they are carrying a firearm, as civilians are now not required to disclose this information to police. Dayton Police Chief Kamran Afzal also encourages the public to volunteer this information to officers during stops and other encounters with law enforcement. The policy of asking civilians to disclose the possession of firearms is not new among certain departments, but it will now be more widely practiced, according to Chief Afzal. He also encourages gun owners to still opt into the firearm training that comes with a concealed carry license, which HB 215 waives. This Saturday, June 18, there will be a free health fair hosted at New City Church from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Services provided will include COVID vaccines, a1c testing, vision screenings, various weight loss resources, oral health resources, and more.  Dayton is currently developing its first Active Transportation Plan; a program which will seek to identify and prioritize projects to improve Dayton's bicycle and pedestrian networks. The plan will also be an essential part of securing infrastructure funding for such projects. Community members are asked and encouraged to be a part of the planning process throughout the month of July, with various outreach programs and online surveys planned. Visit walkbike.info/Dayton for more information. The Miami Valley Alzheimer's Association Chapter has announced the dates for its five Walks to End Alzheimer's, the largest event to raise funds and awareness for Alzheimer's in the world. The Miami Valley walks will be happening on September 10th, 17th, and 24th, and October 1st and 8th, at various locations around the Valley. For more info on specific locations and to register as a team or individual, go to alz.org/walk. After five years, the 416 Diner on East Fifth Street has closed its doors. Owner Guy Fragmin announced the decision last Thursday, saying “[they] hope to continue the tradition of great food and service in the near future.” Fans of the 416 on Facebook have expressed their words of sadness, support, and well wishes for the Diner's staff. The Five Rivers MetroParks are ready to restart a variety of projects that were put on hold by the COVID-19 pandemic. Among these are the Taylorsville MetroPark and Sugarcreek MetroPark, which the agency received public feedback on at the end of last year. Another major project going forward soon will be a park-over-the-river between the Third Street Bridge and Wolf Creek Bridge, announced in March of this year. According to MetroParks spokesperson Carrie Scarff, the park and footbridge will seek to unite East and West Dayton, as well as showcase the Great Miami River. The project has been named, appropriately, Unity Bridge. Five Rivers MetroParks also announced plans to make improvements to Sunrise Park and construct bikeways linking West Third Street to the riverfront below the Dayton Art Institute at Monument Avenue.    Angie's Firehouse Tavern on Watervliet Avenue is up for sale after being revived by retired fire captain Patrick Reed in 2010. The restaurant first opened in 1938 as the Hungarian restaurant Angi's (pronounced AHN-ji's), but came to be known as Angie's among locals who were unsure how to pronounce the name. Quickly gaining a reputation for delicious cabbage rolls and other home-cooked Hungarian meals, Angi's became a fixture of the community for decades. Patrick Reed and his family and friends bought the vacant Angi's in 2010 to keep the spot they loved alive. Now he's looking for new ownership with creative ideas to continue their work so he can relax after 12 years of hard work. He also cites frustration with staffing shortages and rising production costs as factors in his decision. Angie's is considered a historic Dayton landmark and is listed for sale at $475,000, including the building, equipment, recipes, and decorations within. And, of course, a 1970 Porsche Firetruck that can be used for advertising. Lynda Suda, market manager of 2nd Street Market, announced that the market has reached 100% indoor capacity. All 44 spaces have been filled by various growers, producers, bakers, artisans, and restaurants. There are spots still available for weekend-only vendors, however. Suda is always looking for passionate entrepreneurs to bring their craft to the community through 2nd Street Market. Many weekend-only vendors at the market are first-time business owners, and 2nd Street helps educate them on what licenses they'll need and how they can get them. Weekend-only vendors can apply by filling out an application and meeting with market organizers, but the process for indoor permanent vendors is both more involved and more competitive. The market has also become more diverse in the past five years, with more minority vendors filling weekend and permanent spots. To learn more about the market and see the various weekend events they hold, visit metroparks.org/places-to-go/2nd-street-market. It is now estimated that Dayton Public Schools will spend $62 million more than they have available in the next two school years and will run out of general fund money in 2024-25. While labor costs are expected to rise significantly, the bigger problem starts in September 2024 when the district will have to have spent its remaining $140 million in federal COVID-19 relief money. This money has been used for many projects in the Dayton Public School system, and the school board doesn't plan to end these projects when the federal relief money that was used to start them runs out. This leaves the district with a projected $73 million deficit in 2024-25. The Board of Education is looking to approve a $230 million general budget for the next school year, which is expected to be temporary until late September. They've also said they're not planning any staff cuts, and are in fact planning to hire for several positions. DPS Superintendent Elizabeth Lolli is meeting with the district's department heads to discuss what projects will be delayed and ensure that nothing is done that will negatively impact instruction or staffing numbers. Immigration attorney and former Dayton Public Schools president Mohamed al-Hamdani was selected as the chairman of the Montgomery County Democratic Party last Thursday. Al-Hamdani is the first Muslim to lead a county Democratic party in Ohio, replacing Mark Owens, who served as chairman for 15 years before his recent retirement. He is a Dayton Public Schools and Wright State University graduate, and earned his law degree from University of Dayton after working as a cultural advisor for the Department of Defense during Operation Iraqi Freedom. Like most politically-savvy people, al-Hamdani has his sights set on this year's elections, hoping to get Democrats into leadership positions at the local, state, and federal levels. Montgomery County has approved a new $6 million Environmental Services Lab in Downtown Dayton. The new lab will make sure drinking water and discharged wastewater are compliant with state regulations for over 80,000 homes in the county. The current lab in Moraine has been in place for decades and is in need of replacement as the county seeks to update aging infrastructure. The new lab will be state of the art and is being paid for by the American Rescue Plan, from which the county received $103 million. On Saturday, June 18, Hospice of Dayton will be holding a butterfly release to remember and honor loved ones lost in Dayton. The event will be held from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Hospice location on Wilmington Avenue. You can register for a $15 donation to have a butterfly released in a loved one's name; you can register online at hospiceofdayton.org, or you can call Marsha Bernard at 937-671-3119 for more information. The Good Samaritan Hospital site in northwest Dayton has a new facility opening, exciting partners with the project. The closing of the hospital was upsetting to many Dayton residents, who understandably believed it would have a negative impact on the community's health and well-being. The new facility is planned to be two stories, half of which will be occupied by the Dayton YMCA, including a pool, fitness center, and gym. Premier Health, which is putting forward about $15 million to fund the project, will occupy about a quarter of the facility. The project sought community feedback to learn what Daytonians wanted to see on the former hospital campus, which will also include an urgent care clinic, physicians' offices, and medical imaging services. Goodwill Easterseals will also have an office in the space to run their economic self-sufficiency and employment program. Construction is expected to begin this Fall and take about 14 months. Spokespersons with the project have said there will be more information in the coming weeks. Among the producers for the now Tony Award-winning “A Strange Loop” are Wright State University graduate Tony Monda and West Milton-born Jimmy Wilson. The show took home Best Musical and Best Book of a Musical at the 75th annual Tony Awards on Sunday. It was Wilson's first Broadway production as an associate producer with Barbara Whitman Productions. This is Monda's third Tony, previously having been involved in Hadestown, which took Best Musical in 2019, and The Inheritance, which won Best Play at last year's awards. In 2020, he also received the Graduate of the Last Decade Award from the Wright State Alumni Association. Wilson will be moving on to produce “Good Night, Oscar” for Broadway and Monda will be returning to Dayton to work with the Human Race Theater Company, where he interned in college.

And so we kick off 2022, IDSG's fourth year, with an episode about the Denver shooter and self-published SF novelist (who put himself and his own murder plans in his own books) Lyndon McCleod, AKA Roman McClay, and his relationship to the infamous 'Manosphere', AKA a network of misogynistic and 'masculinist' fashy chudlingers like Jack Murphy, Jack Davenport, etc.  We follow up a bit on our last episode (Part 1 of our post-verdict Rittenhouse coverage) and drop back in on the nauseating You Are Here podcast, and Baldy McDickface's Tim Pool's show, as we explore the recent flap around Jack Murphy's 'Cuck Letter' (don't ask... well, just listen), before delving a tad into McCleod/McClay's fiction and his worldview, including some hardcore stoopid genetic determinism.  Lots going on in this one, and so we're issuing bigtime content warnings, not least for the recorded voice of a multiple murderer.

She is currently at his apartment, checked in with me via text and is presumably sucking and fucking her way to a good time. I'm alone writing. Couldn't be happier. Now before you write me off as another salon.com freak who wants to be a cuckold or some kind of spineless beta under male, hear me out. This has been a long road. My manhood is intact and my dick is hard. [...] It is suspended disbelief. This disbelief allows us to create a gap to close. It creates space for desire to reach out to the other person. Role playing stranger rape puts us into different personas for the moment, creating mystery danger and desire. Ie. its fucking hot. Matt from Tinder helps us to introduce another element which requires suspended disbelief. Just like my girlfriend knows I could nor ever would actually rape her, I too know that my girlfriend is not going to leave me for some guy she met on tinder today to fuck. The entire experience is regimented according to my rules. I introduced her to the idea. I pushed it. I told her to go on Tinder and find someone. On the day in question, I tell her when and where to do it. She checks in with me via text. I know where she is and I am waiting for her. She is not alone. She is on a mission sent directly by me. And the entire point is for me to get turned on in a way that wouldn't happen otherwise. The excitement, eustress, and anticipation put me in a different state. I get turned on knowing someone else wants my girl as badly as I do. Yes, I get turned on knowing she is fucking someone else. We've done it together where we picked up a guy at a bar, took him home and I watched them have sex. Or we've brought a guy from craig's list over and I took pictures as he banged her. This time, I just sent her on her way and gave myself time to write and relax, knowing that exceptional sex awaits upon reunion. The time she spends with the other guy, isn't really hers alone. Its ours. Its mine. Its her acting out my ideas. Her behavior is manifestation of my will. Rod Dreher, The American Conservative, Queer as Volk It turns out that back in 2015, Murphy, who now sells himself and his masculinist advisory services as an extreme chad, wrote a piece extolling the erotic pleasure of being a beta cuck. You can find this online; I'm not going to link to it. Some Redditors got busy digging, and found that Murphy and his girlfriend had acted in a self-made porn broadcast back in 2019 (Murphy admitted this on Twitter today). In the film, there is apparently a sequence in which the super-masculine Murphy impales himself with a plastic phallus, while simultaneously pleasuring himself. This is not a rumor, alas; I stumbled across the image online, and can't unsee it. Denver Post, Denver gunman's novels named real-life victims, described similar attacks McLeod named both Alicia Cardenas and Michael Swinyard as murder victims in his novels. Cardenas, 44, and Swinyard, 67, were both killed in Monday's shooting spree. Police believe McLeod killed Swinyard inside his home at One Cheesman Place, an apartment building in the 1200 block of Williams Street. A property manager for the building told residents in an email that McLeod wore tactical gear, a police logo and a badge when he entered the building. In McLeod's first novel, “Lyndon MacLeod” wears police gear and kills a character named “Michael Swinyard” at his apartment on Williams Street. The character in the book also kills other people in the building and robs them. The character has a list of people he wants to kill and considers some to be more important than others. “The murders were like food in the belly, like wine at rest on the tongue,” the first book reads. “Killing people nourished the soul.” Heavy, Lyndon McLeod aka Roman McClay: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know Wineberserkers forum, Have you dealt with LJ McLeod Matthew Kriner, H.

Today I'm going to talk about H.P. Lovecraft, an author who is one of the great well-springs of the horror genre. And if you want tl/dr on the horror -- there's Poe then Lovecraft and then everybody else. I'm going to dive deep into two stories, Call of Cthulhu and Shadow Over Innsmouth. Shadow over Innsmouth is one of my favorites, but Cthulhu is really worth thinking about because it sparked the entire Mythos. In a nutshell here is how a Lovecraft story works. An Investigator seeks out secret knowledge.He finds truthWhich drives him mad.Someone is looking for trouble. Intellectual trouble, in fact. And they find truth, as much as they can understand, anyway. Which drives them mad in the end. Madness turns out to be the correct understanding of things. Because the Lovecraftian truth is a universe in which humanity is utterly insignificant. This is a very modern anxiety. We live in a time, the last 150-200 years or so when old belief systems have collapsed or are collapsing and nothing has replaced them. We don't have a good story of why we are here and what we are supposed to do. And every expansion of our knowledge in the physical sciences has pointed to our greater and greater irrelevance. The threat, the menace the thing that drives men mad -- the thing that dangles the thread that the investigators must follow deep into the maze of their own insanity -- is always one of the Great Old Ones. They are a pantheon of unpronouncables. Yog Sothoth, N'ylarlathotep, Azathoth, Shub-Niggurath, Ithaqua, Tsathoggua, Hastur (the Unspeakable) who, paradoxically, is the most speakable of all.Now, screenwriters like to talk about how important story is -- and it is -- if the story is broken in film, it doesn't work. That's because screenplays are blueprints. And if a blueprint doesn't work the house falls down. But a story or a novel is NOT a blueprint. It's the actual thing. It's a habitable structure constructed, not from light and sound, but from words and the creative response of the reader. So just outlining the story doesn't explain why Lovecraft is great. And that's why you should stick around for the rest of this video. Lovecraft is actually something like a prophet. He's not writing a saga. He's no poet. He's writing revelation -- wild and disturbing visions of how things really are, or could be. And it's at the level of the image that he succeeds. And why he's worth reading. And the thing that I get with Lovecraft, that I don't get anywhere else, is this lingering sense that madness is the correct understanding. Lovecraft doesn't scare me when I read him, not really. But Lovecraft scares me years later, when I see or hear something I don't understand and it suggests to me the hidden depths of chaos in which we all unwittingly dwell. And whatever other criticism you might level at the man and his writing -- lots of them are justified -- I don't know of anything else like that in literature.Lovecraft echoes through everybody who comes after him. And, as we will see, much of what came before him echoed through him. As the saying goes, "Good artists copy. Great artists steal."And, for me, it's tremendously worthwhile to go back to read the things that have inspired generations of people. I gain power as writer by going to the source of the river. But before we dive into the story we have to deal with two things. The Mythos and the Racism. They are tightly linked, and maybe not in the way that you think. The MythosSo, Lovecraft created what is known as the Cthulhu Mythos. It includes a pantheon of unpronouncables. Yog Sothoth, N'ylarlathotep, Azathoth, Shub-Niggurath, Ithaqua, Tsathoggua, Hastur (the Unspeakable) who, paradoxically, is the most speakable of these great old ones. The writers who wrote in this mythos after him started to take if very seriously, but Lovecraft didn't. He referred to it as "Yog Sothothery" (Jesus, Yog Sothothery! - it's like he made this whole thing up to troll dyslexics and people with speech impediments)The point is he didn't engage in obsessive "world-building". A term which I've always found to be a bit much, because if you scratch the surface of any fantasy "world" you will find an actual historical time/place/personage with dash of fresh paint and costume jewelry. At best you're mushing a few of those together. For example, Captain Kirk = Horatio Hornblower. And that's straight from the original pitch for Star Trek. And, in turn, Hornblower is based on Thomas Cochrane, the 10th Earl of Dundonald. Game of Thrones is the War of the Roses. Westeros is England. To become obsessed with the world or the mythos. Is to become distracted from the point of the stories. Nobody enjoys backstory, unless the backstory is also a great story. Don't believe me? I defy you to read The Silmarillion. In fact, I defy you to even skim the Wikipedia page without your eyes glossing over. But especially with Lovecraft, the Mythos isn't the point. It's how he conveys his point.The RacismAnd with Lovecraft, the racism isn't the point either. Oh, he was very racist. And I don't want to downplay it and disguise how very racist both he and the past were. I don't think it's good to downplay the colossal moral errors that things like slavery, racism, prejudice, tribalism, and bigotry really are. But, for Lovecraft, I don't see that racism is even a secondary concern in his stories. He uses the Other and the Unknown to display his primary concerns. And, whatever he felt personally, he's playing on the contemporary fears and stereotypes of his day to get the effect he wants. This isn't a justification, it's an explanation. And I can only observe, if you demand ideological purity and essential good hearteness from the artists you engage with, well, you are not going to get it. I mean, after you're done watching Mr. Rodgers and reading Neil Gaiman, who’s left? Saints are very rare. Good writers are also rare. And the intersection of the two is vanishingly small. For me, what Lovecraft seems to be worried about is two-fold:1) The universe is immensely vast and complicated and we don't matter in it at all. 2) The only thing that even somewhat protects us from this chaos is culture -- which is decaying and becoming corrupted. These two fears are quintessentially modern. Insignificance and lack of a grand narrative -- a structure of meaning - a myth to inhabit -- is our condition. And we're one of only a very few generations of humans that have lived like this. And I have to think it has something to do with the fact that 1 in 5 Americans are on antidepressants. And the CDC reports that 42.4% of Americans are obese. One way, or another, it seems an awful lot of anxiety is getting swallowed. And while I don’t thing the way Lovecraft uses race and the Other to symbolize degeneration and disintegration is appropriate, I have take #2 seriously. As Jung said, "Something we cannot see protects us from something we do not understand."And Lovecraft keenly felt the decay and collapse of that something we cannot see. You can partially track this as a collapse of the Church in the west. Tolkien felt this too in response to WWI. The old ways were shattered. In fact, the shock of this cultural change has created and inspired some of the greatest writers and thinkers of the 20th century. And whole philosophical movements, most notably existentialism. It's a valid concern. And it powers Lovecraft’s horror. To play cheap racist gotcha games with this, might signal virtue, and it is certainly right in places, but don't let it get in your way of understanding. Because all story uses one thing to symbolize another. And the question is: Do you use your symbols well or do you use them poorly?But still it's tough. Because yeah, you can read racism all over the place in his work. But Lovecraft is hugely influential and you can't pretend he doesn't exist. Lovecraft CountryI think author Mike Ruff did a great job of handling all of this, without slighting any of it, in his book Lovecraft Country ( I haven't seen the show). I really enjoyed the idea of the book and the book itself. It’s fine work. But I didn’t find it to be a Lovecraftian story. Nobody goes insane or dies and the character you become attached to survive and even triumph. Never happens in Lovecraft. It’s way more optimistic. But it is remarkable because it’s a horror tale told with the quintessentially American horror of slavery and racism. It’s also very interestingly structured, it's an interlinking series of short stories. Which is a form I really like and don’t know why we don’t see more of. Maybe Mike part of changing that. Anyway, you won’t go wrong if you check it out, but this video isn’t about Lovecraft Country, it’s about actual Lovecraft.Call of CthulhuThe story is like a Russian nesting doll. It’s told by Francis, but Francis does nothing but tells us the stories of Professor Angell, Inspector LeGrasse, and Mate Johansen. It’s a story within a story within a story. The best example of this kind of thing I find in Jorge Luis Borges the Argentinian Short story writer.— Who is truly amazing and 10x the writer Lovecraft was — he wrote these amazing stories within stories, and conveyed a depth of meaning even in the shortest of stories, that can be dizzying. And it turns out he was inspired, at least in part, by Lovecraft. And that’s the thing, Lovecraft inspired everybody as we shall see. This is the first line in the story.The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but someday the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.I could stop the video here because we’ve got all of it in the first sentence. An investigator of secret knowledge goes mad in the end because he’s learned too much about the truth of things. The start of the story is the death of Francis’ Great Uncle. Francis has to settle the estate. This would never fly today. And it’s strange that it worked in a pulp story. I mean really? It’s not very inciting. It really feels like the inciting incident in a tale called Adventures in Probate Court? But in that, there’s some horror too. Everyday, ordinary events lead people into madness. Now it seems like the old professor had a heart attack. But there is a weird hint here. …his passing at the age of ninety-two may be recalled by many. Locally, interest was intensified by the obscurity of the cause of death. The professor had been stricken whilst returning from the Newport boat; falling suddenly, as witnesses said, after having been jostled by a nautical-looking negro who had come from one of the queer dark courts on the precipitous hillside which formed a short cut from the waterfront to the deceased’s home in Williams Street. Physicians were unable to find any visible disorder but concluded after perplexed debate that some obscure lesion of the heart, induced by the brisk ascent of so steep a hill by so elderly a man, was responsible for the end. At the time I saw no reason to dissent from this dictum, but latterly I am inclined to wonder—and more than wonder.Francis allows that the professor was old so the most reasonable explanation is that his heart just gave out. But, at this point we do have two competing theories of death. Heart attack. The “Nautical-looking Negro” theory. Our narrator Francis dismisses the idea — at first. And that’s another feature of Lovecraft, his narrators argue for the most reasonable explanation, and when they fail in their argument, they go mad. So, Francis' Great Uncle Angell has died under mysterious or perhaps obvious circumstances and our man Francis leaps into action. Does he pursue this suspicious, nautical-looking negro? No. Because racism isn’t the point. Lovecraft is setting up a symbol to use later. At this point, even Francis doesn’t believe that there was anything untoward with his Great Uncle’s death when it happened. So he jumps right in and reads his uncle’s papers. Which is weird, because EVERY other thriller and detective story would have him chasing the murderer. And as he pursued the nefarious evildoer the story would unfold. But murder isn’t the point in this story. And neither is ACTION. Because in the second installment.HE READS MORE! But fear not, part three is where it gets really exciting for Francis. And by exciting I mean he stumbles across a newspaper clipping - reads it (obviously) goes to NZ finds nothing, Goes to Norway tracking a man named Johannsen, only to find that he’s already dead. This time the murder involves two Lascar sailors. And as Lascarii are Indian, we now have more nautical-looking brown people. Or brown-looking nautical people. Because after everything he’s read, and the strange cults he’s learned about, it’s all starting to fall into place. So now, having grasped the sinister outlines of the shadowy conspiracy, Francis, man of action, CONTINUES READING — he sits right down and reads Johannsen’s diary. And, at the end of all this reading, he’s left with marginal sanity at best.Who knows the end? What has risen may sink, and what has sunk may rise. Loathsomeness waits and dreams in the deep, and decay spreads over the tottering cities of men. A time will come—but I must not and cannot think! Let me pray that, if I do not survive this manuscript, my executors may put caution before audacity and see that it meets no other eye. So what we have is a guy who has uncovered knowledge. Written it all down. And now believes, because he knows too much, he will now be killed by a cult of sinister, degenerate nautical-looking foreigners, and DOESN’T WANT ANYBODY TO READ HIS STORY! What The Actual F’thgan? This is bizarre. On the surface, it seems, bad. Why is Lovecraft a thing? As we will see, in the second part of this series The Shadow Over Innsmouth is more conventionally structured story — and, I think, a better tale all around — but the structure isn’t what makes Lovecraft great. BECAUSE Lovecraft isn’t writing a thriller, he’s writing a revelation. Like a prophet. It’s apocalyptic literature. Not in the sense of the end of the world, but in the sense of the word we get apocalyptic from. The greek word Apocalupsis — which means an uncovering or a revelation. And Lovecraft stories, the truth is revealed to the characters — and the truth doesn’t set them free, it destroys them. He’s writing stories that work in part like religious texts, and this is especially true and easy to see with Call of Cthulhu since it’s not plotted like a conventional thriller. And the useful question to ask is, how does this oddly structured story pull the reader through it at all? What keeps someone interested?Because somehow it has to work. It was a serialized story, published in three consecutive issues of Weird Tales. So what makes us want to continue reading the story after the first part? Now, the answer could be “Because I heard Lovecraft was good” But that’s certainly wasn’t the answer this was first published.And what drives us here is not the interest in the murder of the Great Uncle, but in what the hell is going on below the surface of this story? Professor Angell must have employed a cutting bureau, for the number of extracts was tremendous and the sources scattered throughout the globe. Here was a nocturnal suicide in London, where a lone sleeper had leaped from a window after a shocking cry. Here likewise a rambling letter to the editor of a paper in South America, where a fanatic deduces a dire future from visions he has seen. A despatch from California describes a theosophist colony as donning white robes en masse for some “glorious fulfilment” which never arrives, whilst items from India speak guardedly of serious native unrest toward the end of March. Voodoo orgies multiply in Hayti, and African outposts report ominous mutterings. American officers in the Philippines find certain tribes bothersome about this time, and New York policemen are mobbed by hysterical Levantines on the night of March 22–23. The west of Ireland, too, is full of wild rumour and legendry, and a fantastic painter named Ardois-Bonnot hangs a blasphemous “Dream Landscape” in the Paris spring salon of 1926. And so numerous are the recorded troubles in insane asylums, that only a miracle can have stopped the medical fraternity from noting strange parallelisms and drawing mystified conclusions.How is this all connected? If this paragraph was a scene in a movie it would be straight conspiracy wall. Pictures, yarn, everything. And Francis’s story is merely the instrument of revelation. He’s John of Patmos. He’s receiving and relaying the message.And he’s skeptical. A weird bunch of cuttings, all told; and I can at this date scarcely envisage the callous rationalism with which I set them aside. But I was then convinced that young Wilcox had known of the older matters mentioned by the professor.He’s the character who, though he hints at awful things right from the word go, is skeptical enough to allow us access to this story. He allows the reasonable perspective and the simple answer the whole way through. Until he can’t anymore. So what does Francis read about that drives him nuts? Well, his uncle is obsessed with something called the Cthulhu Cult. And has been ever since a Police Inspector showed up an American Archeological Society meeting with a crazy statue. Described like thisIt represented a monster of vaguely anthropoid outline, but with an octopus-like head whose face was a mass of feelers, a scaly, rubbery-looking body, prodigious claws on hind and fore feet, and long, narrow wings behind. This thing, which seemed instinct with a fearsome and unnatural malignancy, was of a somewhat bloated corpulence, and squatted evilly on a rectangular block or pedestal covered with undecipherable characters. The aspect of the whole was abnormally life-like, and the more subtly fearful because its source was so totally unknown. Its vast, awesome, and incalculable age was unmistakable; yet not one link did it shew with any known type of art belonging to civilization’s youth—or indeed to any other time. Its very material was a mystery; for the soapy, greenish-black stone with its golden or iridescent flecks and striations resembled nothing familiar to geology or mineralogy. The characters along the base were equally baffling; and no member present, despite a representation of half the world’s expert learning in this field, could form the least notion of even their remotest linguistic kinship. They, like the subject and material, belonged to something horribly remote and distinct from mankind as we know it; something frightfully suggestive of old and unhallowed cycles of life in which our world and our conceptions have no part.So they ask the inspector, what is this thing. And where did it come from? So the Inspector tells a tale of raiding a strange cult in the swamps outside New Orleans. Including this -- In a natural glade of the swamp stood a grassy island of perhaps an acre’s extent, clear of trees and tolerably dry. On this now leaped and twisted a more indescribable horde of human abnormality than any but a Sime or an Angarola could paint. Void of clothing, this hybrid spawn were braying, bellowing, and writhing about a monstrous ring-shaped bonfire; in the centre of which, revealed by occasional rifts in the curtain of flame, stood a great granite monolith some eight feet in height; on top of which, incongruous with its diminutiveness, rested the noxious carven statuette. From a wide circle of ten scaffolds set up at regular intervals with the flame-girt monolith as a centre hung, head downward, the oddly marred bodies of the helpless squatters who had disappeared. It was inside this circle that the ring of worshippers jumped and roared, the general direction of the mass motion being from left to right in endless Bacchanal between the ring of bodies and the ring of fire.So good old Inspector LeGrasse hauls them down to the station. And learns all about the Great Old ones and Cthulhu. Including the meaning of this unpronouncable chant. “Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn.”And the punchline to all of it?Only two of the prisoners were found sane enough to be hanged, and the rest were committed to various institutions.Which makes me (and the reader) want to know. What the hell is a cthuhlu anyway. And I don't mean within the context of the Cthuhlu Mythos. What I mean is what is this thing symbolically? Where did it come from? Why does it seem to resonate with everyone? The first answer I have is a poem called The Kraken, by TennysonBelow the thunders of the upper deep,Far, far beneath in the abysmal sea,His ancient, dreamless, uninvaded sleepThe Kraken sleepeth: faintest sunlights fleeAbout his shadowy sides; above him swellHuge sponges of millennial growth and height;And far away into the sickly light,From many a wondrous grot and secret cellUnnumbered and enormous polypiWinnow with giant arms the slumbering green.There hath he lain for ages, and will lieBattening upon huge sea worms in his sleep,Until the latter fire shall heat the deep;Then once by man and angels to be seen,In roaring he shall rise and on the surface die.Lovecraft sacked this poem like the Vandals and the Visigoths sacked Rome. The Kraken sleeps below the waters. Cthulhu sleeps below the waters. Tennyson even gives us polyps -- and, just like swimming in a swamp and getting leeches, you can't read very far in Lovecraft without getting polyps all over you. But the Kraken is a form of a much older water Dragon/sea serpent concept. In the Bible, we find it as Leviathan. This from the Book of the Prophet Isaiah Chapter 27 verse 1In that day the Lord will punish Leviathan the fleeing serpent,With His fierce and great and mighty sword,Even Leviathan the twisted serpent;And He will kill the dragon who lives in the sea.And this from Revelation Chapter 20 verse 2And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.And the threat of Cthulhu is that sooner or later, he's going to be loosed for a little season. But even before Leviathan, we have all kinds of Dragons who live in the sea. Jormungandr from Norse Mythology and Tiamat from the Enuma Elish -- the Babylonian Creation Epic. It's worth thinking of Lovecraft in Mythical terms, because I think that's where his stories really succeed -- at the level of the image. Using religious archetypes in strange new ways. In part three, Madness from the Sea, we get the story of Mate Johannsen — after he’s dead. So there’s zero suspense. R’yleh rises from the bottom of the ocean and they stumble across it. I suppose that only a single mountain-top, the hideous monolith-crowned citadel whereon great Cthulhu was buried, actually emerged from the waters. When I think of the extent of all that may be brooding down there I almost wish to kill myself forthwith.Johanssen survives this encounter by driving a ship through Cthulhu’s faceThe brave Norwegian drove his vessel head on against the pursuing jelly which rose above the unclean froth like the stern of a daemon galleon. The awful squid-head with writhing feelers came nearly up to the bowsprit of the sturdy yacht, but Johansen drove on relentlessly. There was a bursting as of an exploding bladder, a slushy nastiness as of a cloven sunfish, a stench as of a thousand opened graves, and a sound that the chronicler would not put on paper. For an instant the ship was befouled by an acrid and blinding green cloud, and then there was only a venomous seething astern; where—God in heaven!—the scattered plasticity of that nameless sky-spawn was nebulously recombining in its hateful original form, whilst its distance widened every second as the Alert gained impetus from its mounting steam.And then he goes mad. Which, in turn, drives Francis mad because he now knows what’s really going on. That was the document I read, and now I have placed it in the tin box beside the bas-relief and the papers of Professor Angell. With it shall go this record of mine—this test of my own sanity, wherein is pieced together that which I hope may never be pieced together again. I have looked upon all that the universe has to hold of horror, and even the skies of spring and the flowers of summer must ever afterward be poison to me. But I do not think my life will be long. As my uncle went, as poor Johansen went, so I shall go. I know too much, and the cult still lives.Cthulhu still lives, too, I suppose, again in that chasm of stone which has shielded him since the sun was young. His accursed city is sunken once more, for the Vigilant sailed over the spot after the April storm; but his ministers on earth still bellow and prance and slay around idol-capped monoliths in lonely places. He must have been trapped by the sinking whilst within his black abyss, or else the world would by now be screaming with fright and frenzy. Who knows the end? What has risen may sink, and what has sunk may rise. Loathsomeness waits and dreams in the deep, and decay spreads over the tottering cities of men. A time will come—but I must not and cannot think! Let me pray that, if I do not survive this manuscript, my executors may put caution before audacity and see that it meets no other eye.And that's it. Hardly even a story by modern standards of plot. Nothing happens to the main character. So why does this work? I see a couple of ways. One, this is more like a history channel show than a thriller. Secrets of the Ancient Egyptians. We found this crazy thing out. And then we found another crazy thing out. Could be on the verge of unlocking the lost secret of Tututkhamen? And you're drawn into the next part. It's informational suspense, rather than dramatic suspense. While we don't see this device much in fiction anymore, we see it all the time in non-fiction. And I've read some fantastic non-fiction books and listened to some great non-fiction podcasts that use this to propel you through the story. The second reason is the revelation. The true nature of the universe is revealed to the reader through Francis. And this kind of revelation story is strange to us now, because, in a way, things aren’t obscured in the same way. If this story happened now, wouldn't have to stumble on clippings to put it together, I could go to the USGS website and scrape earthquake data around the world to pinpoint where R’lyeh was, and exactly when it rose. And we'd probably have shaky cellphone video of the ship driving through Cthulhu's tentacle'd face. And somebody would have gotten the whole thing on an undersea survey, or a satellite photo. But the story and the revelation still work, because the underlying horror is our meaninglessness in the Universe. This is only more true, the more we can observe. I heard an interview with Neil De Grasse Tyson said, “Every new leap in understanding has made us less unique and less important in the universe.” And the interviewer asked, if you came across a theory that suggested that man was more important or unique than we think now. And with hesitation he said, I suspect it would be wrong. But in one sense it doesn’t matter what we think of this story of Lovecraft now. Call of Cthulhu rang people, and particularly, other writers like a bell.And I think this eerie, quasi-religious revelatory quality is the source of Lovecraft’s lasting impact. He gave people their myths and archetypes in a way they immediately recognize but yet manages to be totally new and speak to modern anxieties in a way nothing had before. He kicked off the conceptual driver of modern horror.The effect that Lovecraft has had upon imaginative fiction is immense. This story was the spark that set it off. Which is why it’s worth reading and studying. In part two of this series, I’m gong to look at the story where I think Lovecraft is at his absolute best — The Shadow Over Innsmouth.

Denne episode bliver underlig! Det startede med idéen, at vi skulle se Adult Swim-serier på HBO Nordic - dog var underholdningsværdien af serierne så ringe, at vi midt i episoden går over i personlige historier om bl.a. DJ Ötzi-briller, Rudi Völler, babyer uden køn, Loch Ness-uhyret, magasinet 'En Skør Skør Verden', fødsler med sugekop og ASMR. Men inden da får vi da en succesoplevelse med den absurde animationsserie 'Mr. Pickles', som foregår i et højere tempo end Peters talestrøm! Vi høres på åen. Forresten... Vi er på Twitter - og Instagram-mediet: @streamaaen Og også Facebook: www.facebook.com/streamaaen. Kontakt os gerne: streamaaen@gmail.com. Bag podcasten står Peter Vistisen, Tobias Iskov Thomsen og Anders Zimmer Hansen - alle tidligere ugenkendelige babyer.

Chris & Kelsey can't tell if this episode is real or not. Does Special Guest Eileen even exist? The Classic Film: Perfect Blue (1997) "A retired pop singer turned actress[, Mima's] sense of reality is shaken when she is stalked by an obsessed fan and seemingly a ghost of her past” (IMDb.com). Prolific Japanese writer and artist Satoshi Kon got his directorial film debut with this adaptation of Yoshikazu Takeuchi's novel, Perfect Blue: Complete Metamorphosis. He never did anything quite like it again, and even though our next entry owes a lot to it, you'll probably never see anything quite like Perfect Blue anywhere else. The Modern Film: Black Swan (2010) "A committed dancer struggles to maintain her sanity after winning the lead role in a production of Tchaikovsky's 'Swan Lake'” (IMDb.com). Based on a pre-existing script about something else, featuring thematic similarities and homages to other movies, and focusing on an all-time classic ballet, Black Swan manages to be wholly unique and fascinating. Intriguingly, it's more fantastical than our animated entry. Audio Sources: "Black Swan" produced by Fox Searchlight Pictures, et al.

Chris & Kelsey stick together this episode, like all good metalheads. The Classic Film: Rock 'n' Roll Nightmare (1987) "At a farmhouse in the middle of nowhere, a hopeful hair-metal band seeking inspiration to record their upcoming new LP will soon find themselves in a furious confrontation against the Prince of Darkness himself” (IMDb.com). A delightfully funny mess, Rock 'n' Roll Nightmare (née Edge of Hell) manages to tread that fine line of awful and lovable with aplomb. The Modern Film: Deathgasm (2015) "Two teenage boys unwittingly summon an ancient evil entity known as The Blind One by delving into black magic while trying to escape their mundane lives” (IMDb.com). Dark, brutal, demonic, and charmingly adorable, Deathgasm winds up being refreshingly fun regardless of your affinity for the musical genre.
