Tonight, we'll read the opening to an edited version of John Steinbeck's “Cup of Gold”, a 1929 historical fiction novel based loosely on the life and death of 17th century privateer Henry Morgan. The piece begins in a small Welsh valley, where winter arrives with a biting chill, setting the stage for reflections within the Morgan household. Young Henry, yearning for adventure, listens eagerly to the tales of Dafydd, a former farmhand turned seafarer, who returns from the Indies. As Henry contemplates leaving home to seek his own path, his father, Robert, reflects on the inevitability of letting him go… — read by 'V' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!

Anna Morris and I are back with another episode of The Tudors: A Real Game of Thrones! In this third instalment, we will be discussing the young life of Henry VIII and his early reign.Henry VIII is arguably England's most famous monarch. This is partly because of the drama and intrigue caused by his multiple marriages to six different women (with two of these ending in beheadings of the wife!) but also because England went through an enormous amount of change under his rule (more on that in later episodes). Henry wasn't originally meant to inherit the throne, his older brother Arthur was meant to do so, but Arthur died in 1502 at 15-years-old. This led to Henry becoming king and one of the most influential monarchs in history.What was Henry's young life like? Was he always the tyrant he became known for by the end of his life? How was his relationship with his father, Henry VII? What were Henry's priorities when he first came to the throne?

In this week's episode, I discuss why I decided to return to the character of Caina after twenty-nine novels. This week's coupon is for the audiobook of GHOST IN THE INFERNO as excellently narrated by Hollis McCarthy. You can get the audiobook of GHOST IN THE INFERNO for 75% off at my Payhip store with this coupon code: WINTERINFERNO The coupon code is valid through March 14th, 2024. TRANSCRIPT 00:00:00 Introduction and Writing Updates Hello, everyone. Welcome to Episode 189 of the Pulp Writer Show. My name is Jonathan Moeller. Today is February the 23rd, 2024 and today we are talking about the return of Caina Kardamnos. Before we get to our main topics, we will have Coupon of the Week and then an update on my current writing projects. First up, let's do Coupon of the Week. This week's coupon is for the audiobook of Ghost in the Inferno, as excellently narrated by Hollis McCarthy. You can get the audiobook of Ghost in the Inferno for 75% off at my Payhip store with this coupon code: WINTERINFERNO and that is WINTERINFERNO. The coupon code is valid through March the 14th, 2024. So if you find yourself needing an audiobook to break up the winter doldrums and weather, we've got one ready for you. So now for a progress update on my current writing projects. I'm pleased to report that Sevenfold Sword Online: Leveling is out at Amazon and Kindle Unlimited, since I have found that LitRPG books tend to do the best while they're in Kindle Unlimited. It is going a little better than expected, which is nice, and if you want to check out the book, you can read it at Amazon. My main writing project now is Ghost in the Veils, hence The Return of Caina Kardamnos title for this episode and I am 25,000 words into it, which puts me on Chapter 6 of 21. I am also 31,000 words into Wizard Thief, the second book in the Half-Elven Thief series and that should come out after Ghost in the Veils. I'm also 3,000 words into Cloak of Titans, the next Nadia book. So the order these will all come out in is Ghost in the Veils needs to come out first because it has recording slot scheduled for the middle of April. So it needs to be done and out by then. I will finish Wizard Thief after that and then Cloak of Titans. In an audiobook news, the recording and proofing for Shield of Storms' audiobook is done, and it's currently working its way through quality assurance on the various platforms, so hopefully it should be available on your audio platform of choice before much longer. 00:02:07 Reader Comments and Questions Now, before we get to our main topic, let's have a few questions and comments from listeners and readers. Reader NK asks: Hi, I would like to know what LitRPG is. Haven't come across it before and also do we need to complete reading the Sevenfold Sword series before Sevenfold Sword Online to better enjoy this story? In answer your question NK, LitRPG is generally defined as a story that uses the conventions and structures of online role-playing games like MMORPGs. They can be either fantasy or science fiction or blend a bit of both. Typically in these stories, either the protagonist is magically zapped into a game world or is playing the game while trying to balance some sort of crisis in both the game and real life, which is the approach I took for Sevenfold Sword Online. In answer to the second half of your question, Sevenfold Sword Online isn't actually connected to Sevenfold Sword. The premise is that it's 700 years in the future and that an evil corporation has built a hit virtual reality MMORPG using the books of a long dead author (i.e. me) as source material for the setting. In hindsight, I wish I had made the setting completely unconnected to anything else I had written, because it seems to confuse some readers, but too late now I suppose so, hopefully that will answer your question. Now we have a question from reader Justin. For context for that question, I recently had to get a new desktop computer after my old one died and this is in fact the first podcast episode I am recording using the new computer. So if it sounds really weird, I blame the computer, or more accurately, I probably should blame Windows 11. But anyway, with that in mind, here is our question from Justin: Good luck to you with your new computer. I switched to laptops for my computing needs. The lower power draw and portability are handy when you're going off grid. I'm used to you working on three series at once. You put that up a notch. Is this to reduce burnout and possibly writer's block? In answer to that question, the reason I got a desktop was because I do a lot of cover design and graphic design, which is not always the greatest on laptops because that needs a lot of processing power, a lot of RAM, and perhaps most importantly, a lot of storage. In answer to the writing question, the only thing that's changed is I'm not doing a Ridmark and Andomhaim book every other month. I am going to keep writing Ridmark and books set in Andomhaim but I've been writing a Ridmark/Andomhaim book every other month pretty much since summer 2013, so I'd like to change it up a little bit and do more of other things. So while I am going to continue the Shield Wars series and I am going to write Shield of Darkness soon, I'm not going to start writing it until after Cloak of Titans is done, if you remember my order of projects from earlier in the show. I don't feel at risk of burnout or getting exasperated with writing. I just have been writing Ridmark and Andomhaim setting for so long that while I would like to continue writing that I would like to write more of other things as I go along. 00:05:08 Main Topic: The Return of Caina Kardamnos Now to our main topic: the return of Caina Kardamnos. As I mentioned earlier on the show, I'm now 25,000 words into Ghost in the Veils, which puts me also at chapter six in the second book of the Ghost Armor Series, the immediate sequel to Ghost in the Serpent from late 2023. I have to admit that when I finished Ghost in the Sun in the Ghost Night series in 2021 (I believe that was), I thought I was done with Caina. The reason for that was I just didn't have any idea of what to where to go or what to do with the character after Ghost Night. Part of that, I admit, was that Caina had become powerful and influential and I am cynically suspicious of people like that and wasn't sure I could write someone like that as a protagonist. Though that was less a concern as I went on since writing Ridmark and Tyrcamber, and Dragontiarna and then Dragonskull and the Shield War gave me a good bit of practice. So I finally had a good enough idea to return to Caina as a protagonist, and I think it was a confluence of four different ideas. The first idea was perhaps the most obvious one: what if Caina found out she had stepchildren? There are lots of potential story dynamics with stepchildren, but I thought the most interesting setup would be if Kylon had children he didn't know about and the mother Kalliope Agramemnos had kept them secret from him, except Kylon loves Caina and Kalliope is in awe of Caina. So Caina, out of necessity, becomes the linchpin holding this family together, since neither Kylon nor Kalliope can stand each other. There are a lot of potential character arcs and conflicts that can be generated in the inherent tension of that situation. The second core idea came from medieval nobles. If you've read any histories of medieval Europe, one of the main themes of the Middle Ages is that men primarily wielded the political and military power. But some women, by sheer force of will, charisma, tenacity, and cunning came to wield great power themselves. There are in fact quite a few examples. Probably the most famous one nowadays would be Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine, who was married to two different kings and the mother to two more or three (depending on how you count and if you include Henry II's eldest son, Young Henry, as the actual king or not). She kept her son Richard on the throne of England during his captivity after the Third Crusade and she was one of the chief architects of his release. Had Eleanor lived longer, and her son John listened to more of her advice, probably King John's reign would have been more successful and he would not be remembered primarily in the United States as the cowardly Prince John from that one animated Disney movie with the anthropomorphic animals. Perhaps the most successful example is Margaret Beaufort, who basically engineered her son Henry VII's ascension to the English throne at the end of the Wars of the Roses, and then served as one of his primary advisors for the entirety of his reign. In fact, she even outlived Henry VII by a year and then lived long enough to advise her grandson Henry VIII for the first year after he became king. A less successful example and contemporary with Margaret Beaufort, would be Margaret of Anjou, wife of King Henry VI and mother of his heir. Margaret of Anjou was one of the driving forces behind the Wars of the Roses but lost everything when her husband and son were killed and she died in poverty in France while her enemy Edward IV ruled in England. Blanche of Castile was her son Louis IX's regent when he went on crusade. Countess Matilda of Tuscany helped force the settlement in the Investiture Controversy and the Holy Roman Emperor, the southern dukes of the Holy Roman Empire, and the Pope all wanted Matilda as their ally. Perhaps the most striking example would be Sichelgaita of Lombardy, wife of the rapacious Norman adventurer Robert Guiscard. Guiscard started out as a penniless, landless knight and ended up conquering Sicily and a lot of Italy. He was known as greedy, cunning, and ruthless. His eventual tomb had the epitaph “Here lies Guiscard, the terror of the world.” It seems that Sichelgaita was in every way suited to be the wife of a freebooting warlord like her husband. Guiscard fought a lot of wars and Sichelgaita usually donned armor to battle alongside him. At the Battle of Durham in 1081 Guiscard's troops started to break and run while fighting the soldiers of the Byzantine Empire. Sichelgaita rode after the fleeing troops, berating them for their cowardice, and evidently the prospect of her displeasure was so fearsome that Guiscard's troops turned around and won the battle. It should also be known at this point in her life, Sichelgaita was in her forties and had borne Giscard eight children, so clearly a very resilient lady. So now that Caina is powerful and influential maybe historical events like these can provide inspirations for plot lines. Caina would still occasionally put on a shadow cloak and go out and break into places because this is, after all, a fantasy novel. The third idea was that someone must be in charge. I mentioned earlier that I had misgivings about writing protagonists with power and influence, but I've come to realize that is an incomplete view. The thing about power and influence is that someone is going to be in charge. It's just human nature. No matter how something is organized, someone must be in charge and bear the burden of leadership, and hopefully it will be someone with an eye on the greater good. I've thought about this concept a lot in 2023. I know several people in 2023 who, after much agonizing, left some of the traditional helping professions like medicine and education not because of dislike of the admittedly stressful work, but because the leadership was so stupid and so malicious as to create an unsustainable work environment. Like a leader can be stupid and well-intentioned, and a leader can be malicious and clever and an organization can still function, but stupidity and malice together are unsustainable. Alas, the contemporary United States and United Kingdom have no shortage of malicious and stupid leadership, but that's beyond the scope of the podcast about writing. So in the end, someone is going to be in charge, someone is going to have to wield power and influence. Hopefully it is someone who will act in the name of the greater good (I already did some of that with Caina in Ghost in the Council towards the second half of the Ghost Night series). That can make, in my opinion, for in a compelling protagonist. Fourth and finally, fantasy creatures. Way back in the 2000s when I was originally trying to sell the first Caina novels, all the agents and publishers fulminated on how they didn't want to see any novels with traditional fantasy creatures like elves and orcs and dwarves and serpent men and so forth. So when I wrote the kind of books I wrote them without any of that, which continued when I moved into self-publishing, though I was always a little sore about that, even years later. Now I think I have a firm enough grasp on the setting that I can introduce some traditional fantasy creatures into the Caina books, hopefully in a way that makes sense within the context of Caina 's very well-established world. So those four ideas came together for Ghost in the Serpent, and we shall hopefully see more of them in Ghost in the Veils. So that is it for this week.

Sometimes, just sometimes, the planets align and one of the good guys has a victory.In music, as in life, it is generally the people who tow some form of company line that see themselves attaining the highs for which they truly deserve but occasionally one of the kids from the wrong side of the tracks manage to break into that illustrious club, in the process giving hope to a multitude of like minded people around the world that change is possible.Musically, that outsider for the current generation is Brisbane punk/rock outfit Dune Rats. Comprised of a group of mates that just wanna have fun and create music that they enjoy, Dune Rats have made somewhat of a mockery of the acceptable career trajectory afforded musicians.They refuse to conform, bow down or compromise, and for some reason people just love them!So much so that the band has had numerous number 1's in this country and gathered prestigious awards, in the process becoming that rebellious influence that shows fans it's alright not to be alright.They are a band who places their own agenda first and foremost and continues to churn out music your grandmother would choke to without fear of reprisal.Put simply, they do whatever the fuck they want and get away with it. Actually, they don't get away with it, they thrive because of it.On the eve of the release of Dune Rat's fourth and almost impossible to pronounce album Real Rare Whale (think I'm wrong, just try saying it out loud) HEAVY sat down with guitarist/vocalist Danny Beus for a fun chat about a bit of everything, starting with the tongue twister title."It's either a genius marketing ploy or a dumb one,” Beus laughed. “We were coming up with a few names for the last album cycle, like Having A Bat which was gonna have a cricketer on the front cover, and then Real Rare Whale and our mate said that is the dumbest title for an album, don't name the album that and we thought for this album, because it's a pretty funny, fun, dumb album we thought it suits and we thought radio announcers like yourself would have difficulty pronouncing it so it would be pretty funny to hear."We all know how much fun Dune Rats are in neatly packaged song doses, but the question is how well will it translate to the new album?"The best thing about this album is we didn't get suckered in to one of those things that producers like to do,” Beus quickly replied, “where they say ‘where's the dip and the flow and the arc'? Every producer tries to get you to write your Green Day ‘Time Of Your Life' song for the album and bring it down and we were kinda like, nah, we just wanna have an album that can pass the test of the party where you put it on at a party and it doesn't make the party fizzle. We wanted to make it an album you put on at a party and then it finishes and everyone says fuck, that was a good half an hour! We had that intention but then having said that we wanted something that lyrically was deep enough that you could put on in your bedroom and listen to it yourself and hear that there's a bit of substance behind it. Sonically it's a super fun album, which means live it's gonna go off."In the whole chat, Danny talks about the importance of keeping things fresh and fun, the songs on the album and what they were going for, living up to expectations, the ability to be sophisticated while still staying fun, this weekends album launch parties, the re-emergence of Young Henry's Dunnie Lager and more.

From growing up in the lentil belt of Canberra, to co-founding one of the country's leading craft breweries, Capital Brewing Co, Laurence Kain talks to and Food & Drink Business editor Kim Berry about being Australia's first climate active certified fully carbon neutral brewery.Laurence and co-founder Tommy Hertel opened the brewery in 2016 after successfully running venues in Canberra and building friendships with Sydney craft brewing icons Young Henry's and Grifter Brewing Co.Laurence describes his childhood in Canberra's ‘lentil/Birkenstock belt' and how seeing the impact of climate change during climbing and skiing trips made the pair committed to making the brewery as environmentally sustainable as possible.He explains how the process to carbon neutrality takes time, is complex and can be expensive and how they decided to work with the consultancy that helped them through the process and the federal government Climate Active certification body to develop a template that could be used by other craft breweries.We talk about some of the achievements and savings made by Capital, and its new sustainability goals.The episode wraps up with news of a new pilot brew system which enables to Capital team to brew small batches for limited releases and new beer flavours.------------------------------The Food & Drink Business Podcast is produced by Southern Skies Media on behalf of Food & Drink Business, owned and published by Yaffa Media.The views of the people featured on this podcast do not necessarily represent the views of Food & Drink Business, Yaffa Media, or the guest's employer.

This week we chat with Young Henry's Richard Adamson and Zoe Catterall. Listeners will recall that almost exactly a year ago we spoke with Oscar McMahon and Dan Hampton from Young Henry's and, with so much happening in the beer world, we ordinarily wouldn't speak to the same brewery so soon. However, Young Henry's is just turning 10, a milestone for any brewery and particularly one that has grown to be one of the largest independent breweries in the country, If you want to hear about some of the business side of the business, we'd recommend you back back to the last episode, which is still very current. In this episode however, we wanted to explore how, in the rapidly evolving craft beer space, a brand continues to stay young and relevant in the market. Particularly one that is so steeped in the cooler end of the market with it's very music industry centric brand. So we spoke with co-founder Richard Adamson - who has been a recent guest through his role at the IBA, but also one of the newest employees, scientist Zoe Catterall. In many ways Zoe typifies the Young Henry's brand, coming to the business through her musical connections more than her background in brewing. Zoe Catterall is a founding member, rhythm guitarist and lead singer for indie band The Buoys. It's a light-hearted and fun chat about some very significant challenges that growing breweries will have to face. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did and that the musical references didn't go as far over your head as they did mine. But check out The Buoys, they do rock.

Have you ever wondered how the chords of life strum a new tune when fatherhood enters the stage? Oscar McMahon of Young Henry's Brewery joins me to unpack his transformation from punk rock drummer to a dad with a knack for crafting community through hops and heartbeats. We get personal as Oscar shares the harmonies and dissonances of navigating the nexus of passion, parenting, and entrepreneurship, and how each role enriches the other, brewing a life filled with unexpected melodies.It's a conversation few dare to start: the silent symphony of male emotional struggles during pregnancy and beyond. As we pull back the curtain on this topic, Oscar and I address the mental health challenges that men often face in silence—from the trials of IVF to the deep sorrow of miscarriage. We cast a spotlight on the importance of open dialogue and support for new dads grappling with seismic shifts in their world, aiming to turn whispers of postnatal depression into a chorus calling for change.Then we wade through the waters of work-life balance, a concept as elusive as it is essential for new fathers like Oscar and me. We share laughs and learnings about the juggle of joys and juggernauts that come with parenthood, keeping hobbies afloat, and sustaining the flame of individuality amidst diaper changes and deadlines. As we close, Oscar reflects on the agility of Young Henry's in responding to global curveballs, like pivoting to hand sanitizer production, and how tapping into the heart of the community can ferment a future that's not only profitable but also profoundly sustainable.
In this week's episode, the boys travel up the River Tyne crossing into the home of the Toon, to sample an institution in Newcastle Brown Ale. In the Hop Topic, we discuss the brewery, Young Henry's, efforts to combat climate change by adding algae to their brewing process.Be sure to follow Newcastle Brown Ale

This week we catch up with Oscar McMahon and Dan Hampton from Young Henrys. Young Henry's is one of those brands that just stands out in the Australian brewing industry. There are few breweries with a stronger brand identity, or identifiable corporate culture. In terms of size, they are one of the largest independent brands and their presence can't just be seen on tap handles, but pub walls across the country. Perhaps because of this presence Young Henry's is one of those brands that gets talked about, sometimes with a note of jealousy. It is one of the breweries that is perennially part of the ‘word on the street' talk of sales, as well as featuring in discussion about tap contracts and private equity investment. We talk about all of this and more. It's a great conversation - a long one that had to be recorded over two sessions. Its a conversation that really gives an insight into the Young Henry's approach to beer, independence and the art of motorcycle oil maintenance. Our partners Radio Brews News is proudly presented by Cryer Malt, who we are thrilled to announce are back supporting us for another year of conversations.

Oscar McMahon is one of the Co-Founders of Sydney brewery Young Henrys, whose mission is to create a beer company that's in touch with the people drinking the beer, showcasing Australian hops and malts without all the bells and whistles. The business was started in 2012 by founders who shared a love of beer and music, and the view that the Australian beer scene should be more innovative and adventurous. With their combined experience in brewing and hospitality, they started Young Henry's in a warehouse in Sydney's Newtown, with 8 employees producing a few dozen kegs each week. They now have more than 60 staff and distribute 1500 kegs of beer a week to over 2000 bars, pubs and bottle shops around Australia, and they're on track to sell 9 million litres of beer this financial year. I ask Oscar about the rise of the local Newtown Brewery to becoming one of the largest Independent Breweries in Australia and their role in supporting live music. Join the Facebook Group.

Ashley takes the lead for a super history focused episode. The girls discuss the ultimate bad b*tch Eleanor of Acquitaine and how her legacy still translates into today.
Part 5 of the Meet The Brewer Series, where we sit down with Co-Founders and Head Brewers from local Sydney breweries, to get their stories, insights and advice.In today's episode, I sit down with Co-Founder Glenn Wignall from The Grifter Brewing Co in Marrickville. Glenn & co-founders Matt King & Trent Evans began their journey into the craft brewery scene by bouncing around the Inner West doing Gypsy brewing, fine tuning their recipes and finding a temporary haven with their own tank space at the Young Henry's brewery in Newtown when they were just launching back in 2012. Building a solid brand and loyal following they took the opportunity to purchase Young Henry's brewhouse equipment a couple years later, holding it in storage for sometime until they finally left the Young Henrys nest and finding their own physical premises and setting down roots in the Marrickville area. Glenn has a lot of advice to give on equipment sourcing, gypsy brewing, as well as thoughts on a topic that hasn't been spoken a lot about so far, and that is the importance of safety within a brewery and considerations for aspiring brewery owners around meeting Australian standards with their equipment and ensuring a safe workplace for your employees and customers.EPISODE LINKS:https://thegrifter.com.au/Visit us at www.buildmeabrewery.com.au and sign up to our mailing list to be the first to know when episodes launch plus exclusive Brewery Building Content.Also like and follow us on Facebookwww.facebook.com/buildmeabrewery

Henry II (5 March 1133 – 6 July 1189), also known as Henry Curtmantle (French: Court-manteau), Henry FitzEmpress or Henry Plantagenet, ruled as King of England, Duke of Normandy and Aquitaine, Count of Anjou, Maine, and Nantes; at various times, he also partially controlled Scotland, Wales and the Duchy of Brittany. Before he was 40 he controlled England, large parts of Wales, the eastern half of Ireland and the western half of France—an area that would later come to be called the Angevin Empire. Henry was the son of Geoffrey of Anjou and Matilda, daughter of Henry I of England. He became actively involved by the age of 14 in his mother's efforts to claim the throne of England, then occupied by Stephen of Blois, and was made Duke of Normandy at 17. He inherited Anjou in 1151 and shortly afterwards became the Duke of Aquitaine by marrying Eleanor of Aquitaine, whose marriage to Louis VII of France had recently been annulled. Stephen agreed to a peace treaty after Henry's military expedition to England in 1153, and Henry inherited the kingdom on Stephen's death a year later. Henry was an energetic and sometimes ruthless ruler, driven by a desire to restore the lands and privileges of his grandfather Henry I. During the early years of his reign the younger Henry restored the royal administration in England, re-established hegemony over Wales and gained full control over his lands in Anjou, Maine and Touraine. Henry's desire to reform the relationship with the Church led to conflict with his former friend Thomas Becket, the Archbishop of Canterbury. This controversy lasted for much of the 1160s and resulted in Becket's murder in 1170. Henry soon came into conflict with Louis VII and the two rulers fought what has been termed a "cold war" over several decades. Henry expanded his empire, often at Louis' expense, taking Brittany and pushing east into central France and south into Toulouse; despite numerous peace conferences and treaties, no lasting agreement was reached. Henry and Eleanor had eight children—three daughters and five sons. Three of his sons would be king, though Henry the Young King was named his father's co-ruler rather than a stand-alone king. As the sons grew up, tensions over the future inheritance of the empire began to emerge, encouraged by Louis and his son King Philip II. In 1173 Henry's heir apparent, "Young Henry", rebelled in protest; he was joined by his brothers Richard (later a king) and Geoffrey and by their mother, Eleanor. France, Scotland, Brittany, Flanders, and Boulogne allied themselves with the rebels. The Great Revolt was only defeated by Henry's vigorous military action and talented local commanders, many of them "new men" appointed for their loyalty and administrative skills. Young Henry and Geoffrey revolted again in 1183, resulting in Young Henry's death. The Norman invasion of Ireland provided lands for his youngest son John (later a king), but Henry struggled to find ways to satisfy all his sons' desires for land and immediate power. By 1189, Young Henry and Geoffrey were dead, and Philip successfully played on Richard's fears that Henry II would make John king, leading to a final rebellion. Decisively defeated by Philip and Richard and suffering from a bleeding ulcer, Henry retreated to Chinon castle in Anjou. He died soon afterwards and was succeeded by Richard. Henry's empire quickly collapsed during the reign of his son John, but many of the changes Henry introduced during his long rule had long-term consequences. Henry's legal changes are generally considered to have laid the basis for the English Common Law, while his intervention in Brittany, Wales, and Scotland shaped the development of their societies and governmental systems. Historical interpretations of Henry's reign have changed considerably over time. In the 18th century, scholars argued that Henry was a driving force in the creation of a genuinely English monarchy and, ultimately, a unified Britain.

Melbourne band Pagan aren't concerned with round holes and square pegs – they're too busy trying to kick the door down and rip down the foundations. The genre-defiant quartet dropped their debut album, Black Wash, earlier in the year to much fanfare – although they've had quite the run-up to its release, and it's far from their first rodeo. Vocalist Nikki Brumen and bassist Dan Bonnici share a lot of history together, and over some beers at Young Henry's in Enmore they divulge basically all of it for your listening pleasure. Pagan play The Grace Darling in Melbourne on November 5 with In Trenches and Year Of The Rat.

Castle Rock Zone for Castle Rock season 01, episode 10, "Romansr". Wayne and Geoff share the best of the best scenes from the 10th episode of Hulu's Castle Rock, the season one finale, entitled "Romans". We review and make some sense of the episode, share what we liked (and what we didn't), we point out this episode's "Life Lesson of the Week", dig into the King Connections, and go through the best thoughts and theories from you, the Castle Rockers. Romans was a season finale that hit us over the head with “For the wages of sin is death…” Romans 6:23 and there was death. Our two Henry’s survived, but have to live with their sin. Will Castle Rock be any better for their actions? Our Henry is driving around the streets of Castle Rock looking for Ruth. But between the schisma, his stab wound, and stress about almost being killed he is distracted. His windshield is hit by a bird and he crashes and is knocked out. He wakes up the next morning and returns home. He has had some of his memories come back to him about his last day in the wood with Matthew. He remembers that his dad knew about Ruth and Alan’s affair and was planning to kill her for that sin. Quoting Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death…” Young Henry runs away he makes it to the cliffs at the edge of Castle Lake. He then pulls a Danny Torrence and backtracks in his own steps. Matthew follows the steps to the edge and Henry runs up and pushes him off the edge. It is only then that he begins to hear the schisma and disappears. Molly spent the evening looking for Ruth and finds her on the Alan Pangborn Bridge. She wants to jump to be back in the hospital to keep Alan alive. Molly says he is dead. Ruth says he is because she shot him, but he is alive in other times. She says Molly has tried to stop her before. Molly breaks her out of it by saying in another reality, Ruth left Matthew for Alan. She takes Ruth home and finds out the scoop about Henry the couple from Jackie. Henry makes it home and is so happy Ruth is OK. He also hears about Molly’s conversation with The Kid. Henry does not believe The Kid’s story or Molly’s belief in The Kid. But their conversation is interrupted by a call from the CRPD. Wendell has made it back to the Rock following the schisma, but stumbled across the crime scene of Odin. Henry gets to the station and finds out Wendell can hear the schisma. The police are happy to let Wendell go, but they have a lot of questions for Henry. Between the murders at the Castle Rock B&B, Shawshank, and Odin’s death they want to know what is going on. Henry uses his one phone call to call Molly. She is shaken after her conversation with Warden Porter and her death. She does not know what to believe about the Kid now. Henry makes her promise to take Wendell Boston and keep going and not come back. She does. King Connections: Our buddy Troy reminded us that we missed the Maine favorite Moxie cola in last week’s episode. Harmony Hill Cemetery was where Danny Glick was buried before he came back in the book “Salem’s Lot.” Jackie’s laptop has a WKIT on it that is the station King and his wife own. Jackie is writing just like her uncle and wants to make a trip out West. Will we see her make it to the True Knot’s campground on the Overlook’s location next season? Young Henry retraces his steps in the snow to trick his dad. Just like Danny did in the movie version of The Shining. At the end we see Henry working civil cases helping with property rights. He tells his client the property line runs through Wilma Jerzyck’s azaleas. Wilma was a player in Needful Things and died in that book but is alive in the Castle Rock universe. We see Molly spending some downtime with her grandmother in a pink room in a pink house. Plus she is the number one realtor in the Keys. This takes me to the story of Duma Key.

You know what – screw it – they’ve also got recognition globally. Don’t believe me? Bloody 90s brothers Hanson dropped in during their world tour last year.Look! Here they are! Being all grown up and hot! I can totally sleep at night knowing they were just a few doors down from me on this day!Anyway, back to the point. On top of this blast from the past, the beer company has also become big on collabs as of late – including but not limited to tinnies with The Dunies, Foo Fighters and more. It’s a nod to the huge influence music has had on the company.During our Founders University Podcast, Young Henry’s Co-Founder Oscar McMahon explained to P.TV‘s Chris Wirasinha that music has played a massive part in his life path. You see, the reason Oscar started working in bars was because he was in a band, and the hours just made sense. From there, his interest in frothies grew.“I really enjoy being there when people are either having that drink that wipes away their day, or they’re commiserating or they’re celebrating. You know, when you’re working at a bar you get to see people at their best or at their lowest – it’s a really interesting set of human interactions which I really, really love.”“And funnily enough, through bartending I actually ended up falling in love with beer and booze, and met Richard Adamson who ended up becoming co-founder of Young Henry’s. I met him over a bar [Glebe‘s Roxbury Hotel around 8 years ago], so, I guess in a weird way, music has defined me as a person.”From there they used to gather in the back room as part of a beer club, with about 120 people having genuine interactions around the wonderful thing that is beer. Over a few too many one night, Oscar explained, “Rich said something to the effect of, ‘How good would it be to create a beer company that was in touch with the people as beer club is?'”They followed up on it the next day; the concept of a local brewery that reflected peoples tastes, and two years later they were in business. How’d they get from that to this widespread recognition they have now? Make sure you listen to the full interview.
It's a long road from Computer Town Australia to an Airbnb in Los Angeles, but in just under six years Hockey Dad have blazed the trail there and back again. Billy Fleming and Zach Stephenson have known one another since they were kids, growing up on the same street in the southern suburbs of Wollongong. They formed Hockey Dad on a whim in 2012, and the years since have seen them steadily build up a profile as one of the country's hardest-touring and most fun to watch bands. Rolling darts out in the gutter of Young Henry's in Newtown before playing with Grinspoon (as you do), the duo talked about their evolution from grommits to headliners and all the adventures that have come with it. Hockey Dad's brand-new album, Blend Inn, is out today via Farmer & The Owl.To stream, download and purchase the album, visit http://hockeydad.bandcamp.com Follow Hockey Dad on Twitter and Instagram: @hockeydadbandFollow the podcast on Twitter: @BarBandsPodFollow David on Twitter: @DJYwritesSupport the podcast on Patreon: http://patreon.com/barbands

We promised it, and we (eventually) delivered it. The Zero Credit(s) crew hops into the Wayback Machine to pull some content, kicking and screaming, into the harsh light of day. We discuss Young John’s opinions about both women and LEGO, and we are left flabbergasted by the sheer poesy of Young Henry. Remember what they … Continue reading Episode 17: Yep, That’s How I Got My Gamecube →

This week we catch up with Tim Lord from Hop Products Australia about the 2015 hop harvest and what t means for the Australian beer industry. As often happens when beer is a conversation, some of the best discussion happened at the end of the interview. As we were saying goodbyes, Tim amplified some of the things we had discussed during the interview including how the Australian hop industry may not have survived but for the current craft beer resurgence. Tim has kindly let us keep this informal chat in the show. It's a great listen. We then speak to Richard Adamson from Young Henry's about the brewery's expansion into Western Australia and the recent announcement of a new brewery in Adelaide to find out how about the brewery's strategy and how it is managing this growth, including taking on third-party investors to assist with expansion.
