Are pricey bespoke guns worth their stratospheric prices? My friend and Field & Stream's shotgun editor Phil Bourjaily has an answer and he should know. He's been writing on the subject for decades and now we get the lowdown. Phil also shares what he looks for (and so should we) when buying any shotgun, the joys and limitations of heavy and light guns, grouse hunting with a Golden Retriever and Cocker Spaniel, and the real reason shotguns were originally engraved. We'll also cover Phil's hunting season, reminisce about some dogs, and get sound advice on hunting strategy. "Fix It" covers a way to dial down your dog's energy level to make training more productive, and listeners offer suggestions for our reading list in honor of World Book Day.

Happy World Book Day

A new side hustle.. Facts on World Book Day.. Most polite way to say someone is a jerk.. Plus a Second Date Update.

Do the Rockets have anyone capable of putting together an absolute masterpiece like Kawhi Leonard did? And could it be the coach? Figgy's Mixtape: Happy World Book Day, Boomers vs Gen Z'ers & more.

As the Rockets get ready for Game 2, ITL lays out the biggest questions going into the matchup. Meanwhile, the Nick Caserio trade-up rumors are heating up. QOTD: What's the greatest technical innovation in sports history? In Around the NFL, the sports world says RIP to Mike Patrick—ITL remembers the best of his calls. Plus, Shedeur Sanders eyes Pittsburgh, the Astros aim for a sweep, and the Rockets look to even their series against the Warriors. C.J. Gardner-Johnson may be bringing something the Texans have never had—is it the missing ingredient? In Lunch-Time Confessions, Lopez tries to keep up with the kids, and is Jerrod Johnson quietly the most important piece of the Texans' 2025 hopes? To wrap things up: Can anyone on the Rockets pull off a Kawhi-level performance? Or is the coach the real key? And in Figgy's Mixtape, it's World Book Day, Boomers vs Gen Z'ers, and more hot takes to close the show.

Happy Hump Day, yo! Slight chance of some rain today…but it looks more likely tomorrow. In the news this morning, the latest on the Pope, including the possibility that the next Pope could be an American. Plus, the FDA announces a ban on a food dye, certain Walmarts are locking up steaks again, former MN Senator Eichorn plead "not guilty", and a lottery official in Texas has resigned after multiple investigations. In sports, the Brewers cruised to a win over the Giants last night, the Bucks lost again to the Pacers, and a look at the rest of the NBA & NHL scoreboards from last night's games. Elsewhere in sports, the upcoming schedule for the playoffs in the NBA and NHL, the NFL draft gets underway tomorrow night from Green Bay, and TCU & UNC are playing the 2026 season opener in Ireland. We let you know what's on TV today/tonight and had an interesting conversation about Steve Buscemi's character from "The Big Lebowski". In case you were unaware, he gets killed in the movie…and speaking of character deaths, we also discussed a list of the most shocking TV character deaths of all time. Remember Buford the dog from last week? He helped save a toddler that wandered several miles away from home. Well…he's getting showered with gifts by people from all over. And in other dog-related news, a bunch of firefighters in North Carolina were called-in to rescue a puppy that had fallen into a storm drain. Not ground-breaking news, but older people keep a running tab on things that they think the younger generation cannot or will not do…including some common skills that they think Gen-Z lacks. Today is "Administrative Professionals Day", so if you've got a dedicated & hard-working person in your office, make sure you thank them today! It's also "World Book Day", so we looked at the results of a study about our reading habits. Did you see the seagull at the Cubs game on Easter? Looks like the Lord blessed the bird with a mouth-ful of wiener. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a #FloridaMan that attacked an 11 year-old who he accused of egging his apartment, a couple of brothers that got arrested and are being charged with child porn & sex with a cow, a man in Texas who killed his own mother while trying to perform an exorcism on her, and a postal worker in #Florida who stopped at a house party while on her route.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sant Jordi is a Catalan cultural celebration held on April 23. It's Catalonia's Valentine's Day and it served as the inspiration for World Book Day. Couples, friends, and families give each other gifts of roses and books, commemorating the legendary slaying of the dragon by Sant Jordi - Saint George, in English. In this week's podcast, we delve into Catalan literature and analyze its translation into English. Host Beth Cohen sits down with reporter Cillian Shields to discuss the origins of the Sant Jordi celebration and its evolution over time. Cillian meets Peter Bush and Laura McGloughlin, two of the most notable contemporary Catalan-to-English translators, who reflect on what it means to translate a novel and explain their approach to the task. Both review some of their most iconic translations, including the works of Josep Pla, Emili Teixidor, Toni Hill, and Bel Olid, while discussing current trends and emerging voices in Catalan literature. Cillian and Beth wrap up by sharing some of their favorite reads by Catalan authors and exchanging book recommendations for this year's Sant Jordi. This week, our Catalan phrase is “Un llibre és com un jardí que es porta a la butxaca,” a proverb of Arabic origin that translates as “A book is like a garden carried in your pocket.” Just like a garden, books are full of life and beautiful details - but small enough to keep with you wherever you go.

Max Pearson presents a collection of the week's Witness History interviews from the BBC World Service. It's 50 years since soldiers of the communist Khmer Rouge party stormed into the capital, Phnom Penh.

Our guest is journalist and author, Elizabeth Becker. She is one of the foremost authorities on the history of Cambodia, and one of the few westerners to have interviewed Pol Pot.The scientist who invented the white LED lightbulb in 1993 tells his story.Plus, the Bali Nine: young Australians facing the death penalty for drug smuggling and, Spain's historic link to World Book Day.Contributors:Youk Chang – lived through the Khmer Rouge regime Aki Ra - child soldier of Cambodia Elizabeth Becker – journalist and author Professor Shuji Nakamura – inventor of the white LED lightbulb Bishop Tim Harris – friend of one of the Bali Nine families Pere Vicens - book publisher and one of the creators of World Book Day(Photo: The fall of Phnom Penh in 1975.

In November 1995, a proposal of having an annual day focused on celebrating books was put forward at the UNESCO conference in Paris.The idea came from a long-established Spanish celebration ‘The Day of Books and Roses'.The first World Book Day was on 23 April 1996. Although some countries now celebrate World Book Day on different dates, it's marked on 23 April in the majority of countries.Pere Vicens is a book publisher from Barcelona in Spain and one of the creators of World Book Day. He tells Gill Kearsley the origins of this now annual event. Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive. Witness History is for those fascinated by the past. We take you to the events that have shaped our world through the eyes of the people who were there. For nine minutes every day, we take you back in time and all over the world, to examine wars, coups, scientific discoveries, cultural moments and much more. Recent episodes explore everything from football in Brazil, the history of the ‘Indian Titanic' and the invention of air fryers, to Public Enemy's Fight The Power, subway art and the political crisis in Georgia. We look at the lives of some of the most famous leaders, artists, scientists and personalities in history, including: visionary architect Antoni Gaudi and the design of the Sagrada Familia; Michael Jordan and his bespoke Nike trainers; Princess Diana at the Taj Mahal; and Görel Hanser, manager of legendary Swedish pop band Abba on the influence they've had on the music industry. You can learn all about fascinating and surprising stories, such as the time an Iraqi journalist hurled his shoes at the President of the United States in protest of America's occupation of Iraq; the creation of the Hollywood commercial that changed advertising forever; and the ascent of the first Aboriginal MP.(Photo: World Book Day in Spain.

Made of Steel was first published in March 2007 while Revenge of the Judoon was released in February 2008.  Both were first published in paperback but are also now available in e-book form.  Happy reading!     Our reader this month is Dan Hanly, who is the author of The Great Leap and can be reached at Bluesky, Instagram, TikTok & Facebook. Learn more about the Quick Reads program here, including a new group of titles released on World Book Day, Wed.

Take a seat and get wrapped up in Grace's wonderful short story, The Christmas Bake-off Bonanza.

Dan has two excellent scares this week. The first comes from friend of one of our staff. It is CREEPY. What starts off looking like a bad case of sleep paralysis  or nightmares ends up  being a very real case of an encounter with a pair of disturbing entities. Then we have a ghost story from the American Civil War era. Despite taking place over 150 years ago, it was well documented by some local newspapers. It's a very odd story that is sad and scary. Lynze has three stories this week! She shares a tale about a possible sighting of spear finger on a dark road. Then, she shares with us one of those bizarre stories about time and space not being quite right. Lastly, a military story that left some servicemen beyond scared. Monthly Patreon Donation: This month, on April 23rd, we celebrate World Book Day! As lovers of knowledge and escapism, books are some of our most favorite things to spend our time and money on. In honor of World Book Day, this months donation will be going to “First Book”, a non profit working to inspire young minds through books. They believe that books are a critical resource for kids but they can be scarce for those who are disadvantaged. In fact, “First Book” has discovered “book deserts” in low-income communities, often revealing just ONE book to be shared amongst 830 kids. You heard that right! If books have helped you escape hard times, provided you with entertainment or education, then you know just how important books are! We are sending $12,950 to First Book!

Dan shares the story of the disappearance of the Grimes sisters. What makes this story suitable to be told here are a bunch of witnesses seeing these girls, after they vanished, in places they just could not be. Then we go to the Anderson Municipal Business Center in 2009. We hear details of what was supposedly seen and heard, plus an anonymous encounter story. Lynze has a more traditional haunted house story to start her half of the show. Her second story is WILD. It is the telling of an exorcism performed by a Yoruba priest!  Summer Camp 2025: The time has come!!!
