Darrell Castle discusses the war between India and Pakistan which began over an apparent terrorist attack in the disputed territory of Kashmir a few weeks ago. He alleges that the real winner in the war so far has been China. Transcription / Notes: WHO WON THE INDIA-PAKISTAN WAR Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Friday the 30th day of May in the year of our Lord 2025. I will be talking about the war between India and Pakistan which began over an apparent terrorist attack in the disputed territory of Kashmir a few weeks ago. Yes, rather than hide or delay the lead I will tell you right away that there is no real winer as yet but in the initial battle the winner was China and in this report I will attempt to defend that view. First, to set up my argument it will be necessary to review a little history. It is often said that generals fight the last war and in many respects I believe that to be an accurate assessment. For example, coming out of WWl the navies of the world viewed the battleship as the future of naval warfare because it had proven so decisive in the naval battles of that war. The air arm of the navy didn't begin until the 1920's and that was just a primitive experiment. In the 1930's seagoing nations started to develop aircraft and aircraft carriers and to experiment with them but the battleship was still expected to dominate the next naval war. Even the Japanese put their effort into battleships including the Yamato, the world's largest. When the war started with the attack on Pearl Harbor and then the battle of the Coral Sea and Midway it was soon obvious that aircraft carriers were the future, not battleships. The U.S. had three carriers in the Pacific after Pearl Harbor and the Yorktown was lost at Midway June 4, 1942, but within 2 years they had 17. When the war ended and the U.S. had the world's money so it could buy anything it continued to put its effort into the ships that won the war in the Pacific. When nuclear power entered the navy the cost of an aircraft carrier continued to skyrocket until today it exceeds $13 billion. Only one nation can afford to build and equip 13 of those ships and as a result the U.S. Navy has dominated the seas since WWll. Other nations such as China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran had to find some cheaper way to keep up and they did. While the U.S. was building $13 billion aircraft carriers to project power around the world those nations devoted their resources to building relatively cheap missiles to counter them. My theory then is that the aircraft carrier, like the battleship before it, has had its day and the future of warfare will be robotic, ai generated, and probably in space. With that background we look at what is happening in one of the most dangerous corners of the world today and that is Kashmir where the borders of Pakistan, India and China converge. The immediate cause of the outbreak of war was a terrorist attack on April 22 that killed 26 Indians. People get really upset when they are attacked by terrorists and they demand that their nation's government do something. The Indians did do something and that resulted in one of the most interesting air battles since WWll. During the battle of the Coral Sea in 1942 the U.S. and Japanese navies fought a battle in which each side had ships sunk but the opposing ships didn't even see each other. The battle was entirely between carrier-based aircraft from about 200 miles apart. The Indians and Pakistanis engaged in an air battle using the latest fighter aircraft in their inventories and the interesting thing is that the entire battle was fought in what pilots call BVR or beyond visual range combat. BVR is completely different from the air combat maneuvering and the dogfighting videos we see from WWll. It pits aircraft, their radars, and guided missiles against each other at extremely long ranges. Each aircraft tries to acquire radar lock on his opponent befor...

Today, Darrell Castle talks about remembering two anniversaries that are very significant in the history of the United States and the entire world. He shares how he believes they affect us today many years past those anniversaries, some of which he has personally experienced. Transcription / Notes: ANNIVERSARIES TO REMEMBER Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Friday the 2nd day of May in the year of our Lord 2025. I pause today to remember some anniversaries that are very significant in the history of the United States of America and of the entire world for that matter. In addition, I will endeavor to talk about the world as it appears to me today many years past those anniversaries some of which I have personally experienced. Next week the 8th of May is the 80th anniversary of the German surrender in WWll. I talk of that surrender today because it will happen before my next Castle Report. In Russia they remember what is called Victory in Europe Day on May 9th instead of the 8th. Russia usually has a military parade before the Kremlin in Moscow to memorialize the Great Patriotic War as they call it. However, they don't memorialize what happened for 40 years after the war. The Stalinist show trials and millions of dead are nothing to celebrate I guess. From my American viewpoint I talk about the anniversary to honor those who served and especially those who died. This year, 11 world leaders have announced that they will attend the celebrations in Moscow including the Chinese Premier Xi but I haven't heard of any Americans in attendance. If I were president I would be there or at least send a high-ranking representative. When General Eisenhower visited the airborne divisions on the night they were to jump into occupied France for the D-Day Invasion he said we may never see their like again and at this point I will say that he was right, at least I don't see their like right now. Long before D-Day the Americans had some catching up to do because Germany had been fighting in Europe for two years and only Britain held them at bay across the Channel for two years alone. I risk being overly dramatic about the war against Germany but on the other hand, that would be very difficult to do since the courage and sacrifice of the men who fought the war is hard to exaggerate. For example, right after Pearl Harbor the 8th Air Force was formed and assigned to defeat the Luftwaffe which at that time was the best AirForce in the world and believed to be unstoppable. The 8th had 8 pilots and no airplanes at the time. Three years later by the D-Day landings the Luftwaffe had been driven from the sky, their experienced pilots were dead, and their country's infrastructure was a pile of rubble. That happened because 55,000 young men gave their lives in the skies over Germany and France. A B-17 crew of 10 men had to complete 25 missions to get a break at home for a while. The average life expectancy was 15 missions and the chances of surviving 25 missions was 1 in 4. That improved when the P-51 Mustang fighter was available later because it had the range to escort the bombers all the way to Berlin and back. The Germans were fine warriors, dedicated men who fought hard for their country but on May 8th, 1945, they reached a state of unconditional surrender. Hitler was dead, apparently, and the head of state was Grand Admiral Carl Doenitz who had commanded the U-Boat campaign and later the German Navy. Doenitz sent General Afred Jodl to sign the German surrender and Jodl tried to time it so as many German soldiers as possible could make their way West and surrender to the Americans. Eisenhower told him that if he did not surrender immediately he would close the West to Germans and they would be left to the tender mercies of General Zhukov and the Red Army. No German wanted to be at the mercy of the Russians because of the merciless way they had conducted warfare inside Russia.

Darrell Castle talks about the war in which Europe currently finds itself as well as the seemingly inevitable war against Iran and its affiliates. Transcription / Notes WAR LASTS FOREVER Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Friday the 25th day of April in the year of our Lord 2025. I talk of war today as we are about two weeks away from May 8th which is the 80th anniversary of the German surrender in WWll or what became known as victory in Europe Day. I speak today not of the German surrender but of the war in which Europe still finds itself as well as the seemingly inevitable war against Iran and its affiliates. It is very easy to get into a war and so very hard to get out of one. The efforts to resolve the conflict between Ukraine and Russia have become more difficult because neither side has been defeated. They have killed each other and invented new technological methods of warfare but neither is in a position of absolute defeat. Many seem disappointed that the war might end and they look for ways to make it continue. The only way it can continue is if the United States and Europe remain committed by supplying the money and hardware the Ukrainians need to continue the struggle. Even if the U.S. decided to continue the supply chain the Ukrainians are running out of bodies. Even U.S. money and weapons might not be enough and so some are urging the use of U.S. and European troops to continue the fight against Russia. France seems to be seriously considering the idea. I have read that the usual argument in favor of U.S. commitment is that China is supplying Russia and some Chinese officers have been captured inside Ukraine where they were apparently learning about the incredible drone warfare campaign Ukraine has developed. I guess you don't need so many bodies if you can fight each other with robots. The situation in Ukraine reminds me of the U.S. efforts to extricate itself from Vietnam. Once again it's easy to get into but hard to get out of. The U.S. was never defeated militarily and U.S. troops were not defeated on the battlefield but neither did the U.S. win and so by not winning it lost. History is filled with examples of committed guerilla forces fighting and winning against technologically superior forces. The American colonists against the British Empire for example. The more powerful force, usually with long supply lines, grows ever more exhausted and the war appears unwinnable so they simply look for a way to quit, but sometimes the guerillas will not allow them to quit and keep their dignity. President Trump now finds himself in the position of fulfilling his promise of ending the war but the war is a lot more important to Ukraine and Russia than it is to the United States. The stated reasons for U.S. involvement, i.e. to weaken Russia have failed and it appears Russia is more resilient than previously thought. It appears to be the same situation the U.S. found itself in as it tried to leave Vietnam. The Viet Cong achieved their goals of uniting their country under their rule and the U.S. finally decided to accept that and just go. The Ukrainian situation has similarities because Russia occupies Crimea and several provinces in the Eastern border region of Ukraine proper, while Ukraine still occupies some positions inside Russia although not many. Ironically, this Kursk frontier is the exact same region where the Russians fought invading Nazis during WWll. Not much changes except technology because human nature never changes. Vice President Vance conveyed the President's thoughts about efforts to end the struggle in that if his final offer is rejected the U.S. might simply abandon the process. If the U.S. went away and took its bombs and bullets with it then Zelensky and Putin could resolve matters on their own. The U.S. negotiating team seems to be growing weary as Secretary of State Rubio has stepped back from it, according to J.D. Vance.

Darrell Castle endeavors to give his opinion on the subject of tariffs and what they mean for the United States. Transcription / Notes RESETTING THE ORDER Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Friday the 11th day of April in the year of our Lord 2025. It's difficult to leave the subject of war and talk about tariffs but I have been waiting for the wars to pause long enough for me to do it. The wars haven't cooperated, but I have to pause them for this week since the subject of tariffs can no longer be ignored. I don't claim to be an economist but I do know something about economic history so, I will, therefore, endeavor to give an opinion on the subject of tariffs and what they mean for us. I used to study the marketing theory of one of the great marketers in the world today, Dan Kennedy. People would pay handsomely for Dan's advice and they would often ask him, so what should I do, this or that, and his answer was, yes. In other words, he would advise them to implement all those ideas at the same time. President Trump seems to have adopted that shotgun approach to how he deals with the US economy and its relationship with the world. The tariff seems to be the base of Trump's economic program and he has announced the implementation of 10% baseline tariffs on all imports but he has now temporarily paused them for 90 days. My understanding is that all reciprocal tariffs are paused except China which stands at 125%. He said that “yippy” globalists and “queasy” skeptics fueled his decision. I guess that means people were getting nervous and that made him nervous. Tariffs are a tax on the importers of goods and the people who buy the finished products from the imported goods ultimately pay the tax. True, the buyer is free to not buy but in any event the tax money goes to the government and that explains the idea that tariffs will help reduce the deficit and therefore debt. The problem is that if we think about it the flaw in that reasoning is that increased revenue comes at the cost of decreased production thus offsetting any gains. Tariffs tend to slow down production wherever they are imposed. That is a concept proven time and again by history. The Chinese are a little uppity right now so their 125% tariff stays in place. The UN tells us that China now has 31% of world manufacturing and that is expected to increase to 45% by 2030. The idea then is to spur US manufacturing and that is a good thing but only if people have enough income to afford the products.  Trump asserts that this tariff will correct decades of unfair trade practices that have disadvantaged American workers and industries. Quote from the president; “For too long, other nations have taken advantage of our open markets while imposing barriers to our products. Those days are over.” Think about it like this; a banana republic sells bananas to us and we sell them cars. We import twice as many bananas as that country does cars so there is a trade deficit and we put a 100% tariff on bananas so problem solved. The difficulty is that the banana republic now can't afford nearly as many cars so it's self-defeating.  What he is attacking and threatening, then, is the order of the world that has existed since the end of WWll. It's a globalist order in which the United States controls the world's access to money with its reserve currency status while foreigners make stuff and exchange it for US debt and a promise to make interest payments on it. The economic world order alters or changes from time to time as it did with the end of the gold standard in 1971. Things seemed to work well until the first really expensive war collided with the civil rights movement in which millions of additional Americans had to be included in the social fabric of America, its welfare, and its politics. President Johnson talked from time to time about how difficult it was to pay for both at the same time.

Darrell Castle talks about food by asking the question is there a worldwide food shortage or one inevitably coming and if so, is the cause deliberate sabotage of humanity or just the incompetence of the world's leaders. Transcription / Notes FOOD SHORTAGE—INTENTIONAL OR JUST INCOMPETENCE? Hello this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Friday the 20th day of May in the year of our Lord 2022 and on this Report, I will once again be talking about food and asking the questions is there a worldwide food shortage or one inevitably coming and if so, is the cause deliberate sabotage of humanity or just the incompetence of the world's leaders. I don't know the future only God knows it for certain, but I can look up at the sky and see the dark clouds rolling in and make a reasonable assumption that rain is coming and soon. The price inflation and empty grocery store shelves are similar in that they tell me that a food shortage is on its way. It is hard to imagine a food shortage any where in the Western World let alone here in America, but when there is a crises like the COVID virus or even a sudden snowstorm, we get a glimpse of empty shelves. Without the panic of a crisis what could cause such a thing? It seems that there are many causes some of which are war, sanctions, inflation, reactions to COVID, and supply chain disruptions caused by a combination of all those things. Looking at sanctions placed on Russia is to the food supply as the dark clouds are to rain. When we hear the West's politicians talk sanctions, we know we are going to be hungry. For example, the German Foreign Minister declared recently that sanctions against Russia will only be lifted after a complete withdrawal of all Russian troops from Ukrainian territory. Well now, Foreign Minister, let me think, yes, I remember now that Germans killed about 27 million Russians during WWll and isn't that enough.  Maybe you should consider sitting this one out, but I guess you must sit at the feet of your master. Crimea has been a part of Russia for hundreds of years with only a gap between 1991 until 2014. It is Russia's only Black Sea port and only warm water port and only entry into the Mediterranean and the Persian Gulf. Now, Putin has it with a land bridge to it as well and I seriously doubt that he will give it up while he has thousands of nuclear weapons. What that means is that the sanctions will never be lifted and food problems resulting are obvious. The truth is that the supply chain problems preceded the Russian invasion of Ukraine, but the war has intensified the problems and made them far more intractable. We in America, for the most part can live with prices and supply as they are now. Even though the shelves are depleted, and the items still there cost a lot more, we can get by so the question is will it get worse? If so, how much worse, and what would that mean for the American people. I'm afraid the answer to will it get worse is yes. Prices for gasoline are over $4.00 per gallon on average nationwide now, however the critical price affecting food is not gasoline but diesel because that is what affects the price and availability of food. The supply system we have in America now is so globalized and so dependent on trucking and rail deliveries that the slightest rise causes problems and increased prices. Grocery stores have no storage capacity and are therefore dependent on daily deliveries. When the deliveries miss even one day there are shortages and soon nothing. The price of diesel has doubled in the last year and some suppliers report critical shortages both of which have a corresponding effect on food. Large trucking companies and large food distributors are warning that we are on the precipice right now and unless something is quickly done much of the world faces a food disaster. Russia and Ukraine together produce about 29% of all the wheat exports in the world. They have relatively small populations,

Welcome to another episode of It's Lit(erature)! We are a (chaotic) book club podcast & we welcome all to our weird family! So come join us for a book discussion! This week we are discussing the WWll novel: All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr.

This novel won the 2015 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and the 2015 Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction. This is a very lovely story that revolves around survival, being kind, and ultimately trying to do the right thing in desperate circumstances. As always, our book discussions contain heavy spoilers for every book that we read, this is no exception. We also always respect and accept that everyone is entitled to their own opinions when it comes to different books, and we hope you can hold us to that same standard in every episode, but especially this one.

Thanks to the Netflix action film The Red Sea Diving Resort, many people have heard of Operation Moses, when Israel rescued 30 planeloads of Ethiopian refugees, bringing them to the Holy Land. That covert operation launched almost exactly 37 years ago. But even earlier, another secret mission took place to save several hundred Ethiopian Jews, which brought them not to the shores of the Mediterranean, but the banks of the St. Lawrence River. In the early 1980s, a group of Montrealers decided to do what the Israel government had still only been planning. The group of lawyers, social workers and students teamed up with Quebec politicians, Brian Mulroney and Steven Lewis, arranging visas by forging fake university acceptance letters, made-up job offers and bogus wedding invitations. Ultimately, they helped between 200 and 300 Ethiopians reach Canadian soil. Now, more than 40 years later, an American museum is sharing this story more widely. It tells the story from the perspective of one of the main operatives, Mark Zarecki, who joins us today to discuss the rescue mission that deserves its own Hollywood movie—but never got one.

We are now being conditioned to believe that heart attacks are good for us, and myocarditis isn't something to worry about. Coddling to the WOKE generation is one of the reasons we are the laughing stock of the world. Now we are hiding "dislike" buttons and cancelling advance mathematics because they are discriminatory towards minorities. FEMA is officially in hospitals to "make up" for the staffing shortages.

Chris Despos has been making suits in the handmade tradition since the 1970s. As a second generation immigrant, Chris was initially taught by his Macedonian father who learned the trade working in Italian workshops on his way to the Americas.  In this episode of Common Threads we get a brief glimpse into the world of bespoke tailoring in the United States after WWll as the country caught stride in the RTW and MTM industry.  During the 70s and 80s in the United States many tailoring legends were still alive and well such as the famous Bill Fioravanti. These tailors belonged to technical associations such as the CTDA where exhibitions were held to show a certain cutting style or fitting technique. In addition to the sharing of skills Chris recounts how tailors would organize events to get to know each other better and build long lasting relationships.     Society Brand - 5:00 Hart Schaffner Marx  Fashion Institute of Technology - 7:15 Angelo Litrico - 9:00 Sartoria Litrico  A.

On today's mini episode we dive into the confusing story of the missing Sodder children. In the small coal-mining town of Fayetteville in 1945 many Italian immigrants settled there. The Sodder family of 11 lived there as well. WWll had just ended and the Italian dictator was murdered around this time as well. George Sodder (dad) was not quiet about his political views and many did not like it. On Christmas night 1945 the Sodder children stood up late to play with their new toys. After strange occurrences in the days prior and on this night, a fire occurred at their home. Everyone except five of the children made it out safely. But the most strange thing of all was after the fire there were no remains left in the home. Come join me as I unravel the weird findings of this family and try to figure out if this was a set up, murder, or just a very bad tragedy. Sourced from historicmysteries.com.

This weeks podcast is a lively and fun chat with plenty of good practical tips. Jinty and Lou talk to the wonderful Lauren Derrett, founder of the re-usable planet friendly period pads, Wear'em Out who shares her thoughts and advises on how we can change some of our habits to become more eco friendly. We learn how Lauren started Wear'em Out and why we need to consider our sanitary products.

We hear how Lauren has changed the way we think about reusable sanitary wear and why we should all be more eco-curious. She also shares her 3 eco tips for life. It was Mental Health Awareness last week, which got Jinty thinking about her Aunt Ann that had suffered from Anorexia Nervosa during WWll. Jinty was curious as this is often seen as a ‘modern' disease so she did some research into the historical thoughts and treatments of this misunderstood illness and found some shocking medical methods that were recommended and carried out around the time The results will sadly shock everyone.   The Book Collective, get ready to read Three Women by Lisa Taddeo and from the prologue and the eight years it took Lisa Taddeo to write this book about three women's lives on sex and desire, the girls read out some thought provoking paragraphs.

On April 16th, 2015 the Hermetic Hour with host Poke Runyon will review the new semi-biographical novel by fantasy grandmaster Michael Moorcock "The Whispering Swarm." This remarkable book should be of special interest to magicians and Hermetic students. Moorcock is the modern heir to the mantles of J.R.R. Tolkien, and Robert E.Howard. His fiction is deeply magical and steeped in Hermetic lore. The Whispering Swarm is somewhat experimental. His protagonist is himself and he tells his life story up to his passage from adolescence into adulthood through the entrance into a secret enclave in the multiverse, inhabited by historical and fictional characters he has read about. Raised in London during and after WWll, he discovers an ancient hidden medieval village called the Alsacia, or The Sanctuary, inhabited by magical monks in an old Abbey, a tavern full of swashbuckling cavaliers, including the Musketeers from Dumas and a glamorous Hughwaywoman called Molly Midnight. He also lives in the real world, having a wife and children and a job as an editor, but is driven to escape into The Sanctuary by the tumult of Whispering voices in his head (the Swarm). Most importantly it explores Moorcock's two warring personalities in emotional spiritual and political conflict. He is a romantic at heart and an agnostic socialist in intellect -- so he fights to save King Charles from Cromwell's Ax because his cavalier heroes need his abilities to walk between the worlds. One wonders all through the book, just how much of the fantasy is real, or a metaphor for reality. So, if you want to visit an adult's Land of Oz then follow us through the London fog to the hidden gates of the Sanctuary and we'll find the Swan with Two Necks tavern for a shant of ale and an hour of High Magical Adventure.  

HIGH TIMES IN EUREKA Episode 46 Part 1 Old Town Coffee & Chocolates 211 F Street Eureka, CA Sponsored by: Blubrry Podcasting-Launch your Podcast the Blubrry Way https://create.blubrry.com/resources/podcast-media-hosting/?code=blu002 When Sydney talks of her experience as an afterthought, what follows will leave you with jaws dropped. As a young woman who was trying to decide what to do with her life she did the unbelievable, after watching a travel video. How does one prepare for a 5,000 mile hike through the desert and over snow covered mountains? Her training technique will leave most people scratching their heads. What’s a solo female hiker to do when waiting out the snow melt in the high Sierras? To press on, or stay put. That was the question. Harrowing tale, as she approached a 1,000 foot ice wall, and then the black storm clouds rolled in. This is a story you won’t want to miss. Gail Mentink and Cathy Kunkler, owners of Old Town Coffee and Chocolates both began their coffee drinking habits at a young age. Little did they know that years later their paths would cross again,and for similar reasons they opened this now famous "hub of old town" coffee shop. How did a male dominated society, give them the push they needed to venture into the coffee roasting business, and how much of a gamble was it? Can you stack the odds in your favor? For one, struggling with shared custody the store had unintended consequences. For her partner was it a parallel universe, or a continuation of life from a WWll mother? What she discovered in old letters to her mother surprised and perhaps inspired her into the coffee business. Brian Beneventi wrote his first novel at the age of four, was he precocious...gifted...and who helped him at this age? Talk about early ideas for a career. After graduating from the University of Oregon but not before writing his 1st (2nd) novel, he settled down in Eureka where,when he has the cash, he pursues the tried and true style of writing in a coffee shop. As an author Brian discusses the pros and cons of his craft, which many writers may dispute or agree with. Does this profession automatically make you a loner? His first novel, self published, was finished at 22. Running Out of Time is a story about a 17 year old fatherless runner. His second book, called Four and Twenty Blackbirds, will be out soon!

Bill welcomes author Peter Curtis to the show. Peter was born in Slovakia in 1937, grew up in England, and studied medicine in London. Always as interested in people’s lives as in their ailments, he wrote and published short stories about his country practice. After he and his family moved to Chapel Hill, North Carolina where he was a professor of Family Medicine, he began to write the story of what his parents, grandparents and he went through in the great and tragic dislocation of WWll. His novel Cafe Budapest won first place in the Pacific Northwest Writer's Conference 2019 Nancy Pearl Award in fiction!

Storytelling is the most powerful form of human communication. And it has the ability to shape the way we think about God and ourselves. Unfortunately, this power can be used to do harm. And so in this episode of Pro Church Tools, we’ll examine three prominent narratives persisting within the Christian faith that - while perhaps are rooted in good intentions - are doing more harm than good.   ***VISIT THE FULL POST HERE: https://prochurchtools.com/harmful-christian-narratives-we-need-to-stop-telling/   What's In This Session? Example #1: Perkins Wand (0:35) Example #2: Henry Beecher in WWll (1:58) The placebo effect (3:35) The Goal: Love God, love others, make disciples (6:20) How we talk about God shapes the way people view God and themselves (8:28) Harmful Narrative #1: “Morality Police” (8:40) Agape love - selfless, unconditional, sacrificial, promoting the goodwill of all humanity - the same love that God has for each of us (11:35) "Morality police" narrative teaches people that God is a drill sergeant - he demands compliance, deference, and capitulation (14:16) “Morality police” narrative teaches Christians that discipleship is conformity (14:26) Harmful Narrative #2: “Where will you spend eternity?" (16:14) Fear is an incredibly powerful motivator (16:20) Fear can elicit three responses: fight, flight, submission (16:22) “Where will you spend eternity” narrative turns Jesus into a bank robber (16:54) “Where will you spend eternity” narrative teaches Christians to neglect their time on Earth (17:20) Harmful Narrative #3: “Corruption and Depravity" (21:10) Depression study in the Journal of Abnormal Psychology (22:08) Could you ever imagine Jesus using fear to motivate people? (23:25) “Corruption and depravity” narrative turns Jesus into an ashamed parent (26:35) “Corruption and depravity” narrative teaches Christians to despise themselves (26:58) The opposite of love isn’t hate, it’s fear - each of these narratives are motivated by fear (28:14)   Show Notes & Resources Mentioned: Journal of Abnormal Psychology Pro Church Tools Pro Church Tools on Facebook Pro Church Tools on YouTube Brady Shearer on Instagram Brady Shearer on Twitter Alex Mills on Instagram  

  Nick Waterhouse’s warm recordings take me back to hearing my dad’s records in the basement as a child, where his vintage Sansui stereo made everything sound like the soundtrack to a Scorsese film. He blends influences from days past to make records that deal with modern problems in a classic way. His latest self-titled record takes everything he’s learned over the last three and perfects into a masterclass of precise minimalism.   Nick’s approach is admittedly utilitarian. He purposefully makes sure not to get too obsessive with guitar mastery, so that he can worry about less about how technical his licks are and more about making the instrument emote. He understands and acknowledges the limitations of his voice, but makes sure every grunt and growl an extended note brings takes the listener on the same emotional journey he’s on. He works with what’s accessible to bring the sounds in his head to life.   I talked to Nick about his upbringing in Orange County, and his coming-of-age-movie-worthy summer job in the dying days of the major record store chains. We talk about his pivotal days in San Francisco post dot com boom, pre new tech boom, where he DJ’d in a very particular rock n’ roll warehouse scene. We also discuss the misconceptions people have about him as an artist and the stigma of being labeled “retro.” All that and more this week on “You Feel Me.” Highlights: 0:28: Becoming a record store nerd 1:45: discovering music through sampling 3:40 Bro culture in Orange County 6:34: Music post WWll 7:05: living with a death wish in Southern California 12:55: growing up in an LA family 19:40: High School jobs 25:08: First Band Experience 31:54: Moving to San Francisco 36:12: Author dreams 43:45: Digger hip-hop shows 46:43: Producing music post college 49:14: Life as a working musician 54:15: The content business vs the music business 57:43: Releasing a self titled album

Senso ji is a Buddhist temple located in the  Asakusa District of Tokyo. It is the oldest temple in Tokyo dating back to 645CE. It’s one of the most popular sites to view in the city with over 30 million visitors a year. Thousands come daily to worship, pray, and eat! The Nakamise-dori is the street on approach to the temple that houses many shops. It was started in the early 18th century when locals were given permission to set up their own stores and sell goods.  In 1923 the Great Kanto earthquake destroyed many of the buildings. It was reconstructed then subsequently destroyed again during the bombings of WWll. It was rebuilt again after the war as a symbol of peace and rebirth to the Japanese people.The Hozomon or Treasure House Gate marks the entrance to the temple area. There are three large lanterns with the chochin, the largest one that hangs in the center of the gate. On either side two Nio statues, warriors that stand on guard to the temple.More from Tokyo’s Senso ji Temple but first check out what you can expect to get in a typical sized Japanese business style single hotel room .The Hondo or main hall of Senso ji, dedicated to the Kannon, or Goddess of mercy, Guanyin. It is said that two fisherman caught a statue of the Kannon, or Guanyin in 628 that started the worship of the deity in Asakusa. Now’s that’s an extreme fishing story. The Buddhist priest who in 645 established the first temple on this site fulfilled his dream of never allowing  the deity to be seen by humans, still followed to this day. Worshippers toss coins, clap their hands and bow as they pray to Guanyin. Excerpts from "Experiencing Tokyo's Top Attraction-Senso ji Temple, Asakusa".

Lilly Kodama remembers her brother, Dr. Frank Kitamoto -- a 2002 recipient of the distinguished "Island Treasure" award. Dr. Frank Kitamoto was a dentist, social activist and leader in the Japanese American community on Bainbridge Island until his death in March 2014. As Lilly Kodama's younger brother, the two of them walked with their mother and other siblings onto the ferry as the family was evacuated from the island in 1942. Bainbridge Island was the home of the first Americans of Japanese descent who were incarcerated by the US government during WWll. In this episode Lilly Kodama talks about the family's evacuation , their stay in the camps and their return home 4 years later. Lilly is committed to keeping those wartime human stories alive for new generations of adults and school children who make the journey “across the pond,” as Lilly says. As a member of the Bainbridge Island Japanese American Community group, she, like her brother, Frank, continues to work with others to insure that what happened to them does not happen again. The topics in this podcast complement the stories that Donna Harui tells in the previous episode in this series. Donna's father, Junkoh Harui, worked with Frank Kitamoto and Don Nakata to keep their Japanese American history on the island alive and well known. If you are wondering why the memorial to the internment is located in Eagledale, listen to Lilly's story. And to find out more about the Bainbridge Island Japanese American Community go to their web site at http://bijac.org and to the remarkable archive of meticulously curated and beautifully rendered audio and video interviews at http://www.densho.org “It shows the importance of getting to know one another, regardless of our differences.” -Lilly Kodama Credits: BCB host: Barbara Golden; BCB studio tech and audio editor: Lyssa Danehy deHart; “Who's On Bainbridge” music splash: Tim Bird; BCB ferry music: Dogfish Bay Studios; Podcast art: artopia creative.

In this episode of Who's On Bainbridge, Donna Harui, third generation owner of Bainbridge Gardens, talks about her family and the history of the Gardens. Donna's grandfather, Zenhichi Harui came to Bainbridge Island over 100 years ago, and like many others who immigrated from Japan, worked in the lumber industry. The elder Mr. Harui left mill work to become a farmer, grocer and florist, operating a general store in the area where the current nursery stands. Donna talks about customers coming in to the nursery with tales of visiting the general store as children. We are reminded that transportation on the island was not as it is today. Out of necessity, residents tended to shop within walking distance of their homes. Donna's father, Junkoh Harui was a child during WWll and spent his adult life educating islanders and others about the internment of Japanese Americans during the war. Although other residents of Japanese ancestry were sent to camps, the Haruis, along with two other families, spent the duration of the war in Moses Lake. Their isolation was just as severe as those interned. Some of Junkoh's siblings were in Japan at the outbreak of war and cut off from the family for those years. It is a hardship that Donna says is still difficult for some family members to discuss. Junkoh Harui married his wife Chris in 1958 and established Town and country flowers at the location of the T&C store in Winslow. After tremendous growth and many moves, Junkoh and Chris Harui reestablished Bainbridge Gardens in its original location, that chosen by Junkoh's father, Zenhichi, on Miller Road. Junkoh and Chris Harui celebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversary in 2008, the year of Junkoh's death. Donna Harui, their eldest child, speaks with pride of her parents' legacy which she carries on. You can find out more about the business at www.bainbridgegardens.org To learn more about the humanitarian work of Junkoh Harui on behalf of the Bainbridge Island Japanese American Community, listen to the next "Who's On Bainbridge" podcast -- with Lilly Kodama. The Historical Museum and the Bainbridge Island Japanese American Community (www.bijac.org) are also good sources for those who would like to learn more about this history.

Donna’s father, Junkoh Harui was a child during WWll and spent his adult life educating islanders and others about the internment of Japanese Americans during the war. Although other residents of Japanese ancestry were sent to camps, the Haruis, along with two other families, spent the duration of the war in Moses Lake. Their isolation was just as severe as those interned. Some of Junkoh’s siblings were in Japan at the outbreak of war and cut off from the family for those years. It is a hardship that Donna says is still difficult for some family members to discuss. Junkoh Harui married his wife Chris in 1958 and established Town and country flowers at the location of the T&C store in Winslow. After tremendous growth and many moves, Junkoh and Chris Harui reestablished Bainbridge Gardens in its original location, that chosen by Junkoh’s father, Zenhichi, on Miller Road. Junkoh and Chris Harui celebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversary in 2008, the year of Junkoh’s death. Donna Harui, their eldest child, speaks with pride of her parents’ legacy which she carries on. You can find out more about the business at www.bainbridgegardens.org To learn more about the humanitarian work of Junkoh Harui on behalf of the Bainbridge Island Japanese American Community, listen to the next "Who’s On Bainbridge" podcast -- with Lilly Kodama.

Origin from the Bible and US Army during WWll

Michael Crummey is a Newfoundland-born poet, short story writer and novelist. He is known for his historical fiction. His multi-award winning novel River Thieves depicts the relationship between European settlers and the last of the Beothuk indians in the early 19th Century. The Wreckage tells the story of a young Newfoundland soldier and his beloved during and after World War ll.  We talk about Michael's goal of taking the bare facts of historical events and making the people in those events feel real, maintaining a spine of fact, the impossibility of seeing inside what extinction felt like, conjecture, emotional authenticity, false assumptions, the honesty of fiction, and falsehood of factual 'truth,' respect for the reality of people's lives, fiction being best at capturing rich complex weave of lived experience, marketability; The Wreckage, evil, 9/11, boom times in Newfoundland during WWll, and finally, the mistaken expectation of  getting facts from historical novels.
