Welcome back to Your Planet from AFP brought to you in association with The Conversation. Throughout this series we've endeavoured to explore solutions that offer hope for a more sustainable future on planet earth, but some of them, as we've discovered, are a bit more complicated than offering straightforward solutions. In this final episode we're putting the climate itself directly in the dock as we investigate the role of litigation. Can it possibly act as a viable solution ?Host: Anna CunninghamExecutive producer: Michaëla Cancela-KiefferEdition: Camille KauffmannNewsgathering: Michaëla Cancela-KiefferMusic design: Nicolas Vair with Irma Cabrero-Abanto and Sebastian Villanueva.And what if a river or nature itself could go to court ?

Welcome back to Your Planet from AFP brought to you in association with The Conversation. Now so far in this series we've been exploring the potential solutions to take us forward to a more sustainable future and away from those planetary boundaries that tip us in the wrong direction. But we have done so from dry land - so it's about time we take a deep dive into one major element of our planet - our oceans. What impact do human activities and the climate crisis have on the oceans and how do we protect the vast waters that make up our blue planet? In recent years we've seen melting ice caps, rising sea levels, marine heatwaves and a changing chemistry in our oceans that's happening so fast acidification is directly affecting marine life as well as the oceans ability to absorb CO2. But in 2023 a major step was taken to protect our oceans. Let's take that dive into the blue to uncover more.Host: Anna CunninghamExecutive producer: Michaëla Cancela-KiefferEdition: Camille KauffmannNewsgathering: Camille KauffmannMusic design: Nicolas Vair with Irma Cabrero-Abanto and Sebastian Villanueva.Share your thoughts at podcasts@afp.com.

Welcome back to Your Planet a podcast series from AFP brought to you in association with The Conversation, that delves into solutions for addressing climate change. We've been examining those planetary boundaries, the red lines that scientists say must not be crossed or else we are in big trouble. This time our focus is on water. We all rely on it, from humans to animals to plants, nothing can survive without water. Around 70 percent of Earth's surface is made up of water, but the problem for us is that the majority of that water is salt water from our oceans. Barely three percent is freshwater, and around one percent of that is clean, accessible drinking water. There are clear reasons to be concerned about a possibility of rising conflicts and tensions, not only within communities but also neighbouring countries linked to water, but what role does water diplomacy play? Please read this article in The Conversation about Zaï, a farming technique of digging pits in less permeable soil to catch water and concentrate compost.Host: Anna CunninghamExecutive producer: Michaëla Cancela-KiefferEdition: Camille KauffmannNewsgathering: Camille KauffmannMusic design: Nicolas Vair with Irma Cabrero-Abanto and Sebastian Villanueva.Share your thoughts at podcasts@afp.com.

Welcome back to Your Planet a podcast series from AFP brought to you in association with The Conversation, that delves into solutions for addressing climate change. In previous episodes we've delved deep into the earth's epoch to uncover what it tells us about where our earth is now, we've stepped back in time to the 1980s to understand what lessons can be learned from the crisis of the ozone layer… and we've examined carbon capture and the nuclear dilemma… This episode looks into the future of the world's forests, and how important they are to our planet's stability. But could climate projects involving forest conservation- those that promise to offset our carbon emissions - ultimately be the wrong solution for the climate crisis? The concept behind "carbon credits" has taken a major hit recently as scientific research has repeatedly shown claims of reduced emissions under the schemes are often hugely overestimated -- or simply non-existent.Please read this article in The Conversation about how the way scientists calculate the amount of CO2 that is captured by trees for carbon capture projects.Host: Anna CunninghamExecutive producer: Michaëla Cancela-KiefferEdition: Camille KauffmannNewsgathering: Antoine Boyer Music design: Nicolas Vair with Irma Cabrero-Abanto and Sebastian Villanueva.Share your thoughts at podcasts@afp.com.

Welcome back to Your Planet from AFP in association with The Conversation. Nuclear power has been one of the hot topics at the United Nations climate change conference, COP28 in Dubai, the focus being on accelerating various aspects of nuclear energy. More than 20 nations ranging from the US to Ghana, Japan and several European countries including France called for the tripling of nuclear energy capacity by 2050 from 2020 levels. Is nuclear power really good for the climate? Is it truly an ecological cure-all? And how feasible is that push to expand nuclear energy, particularly in developing countries? This episode delves into these questions and explores the debate.Host: Anna Cunningham.Executive producer: Michaëla Cancela-KiefferEdition: Camille KauffmannNewsgathering: Michaëla Cancela-KiefferMusic design: Nicolas Vair with Irma Cabrero-Abanto and Sebastian Villanueva.Share your thoughts at podcasts@afp.com.

Welcome back to Your Planet, a podcast series brought to you in association with The Conversation, that delves into solutions for addressing climate change. We explore and analyse some of the solutions that are being proposed to make out planet's future more sustainable. Do they all work? Or are some offering false hope? In this episode we take a look at carbon capture and storage (CCS), a big focus of the UN's COP28 climate talks.The UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) says the existing fossil fuel infrastructure will push the world beyond the desired limit of 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. Oil producers have been throwing their weight behind carbon capture as a solution. But some climate experts warn that this technology alone would be insufficient to tackle global warming.With little investment and few projects in operation around the world so far, carbon capture is currently nowhere near the scale needed to make a difference in global emissions.Once you have listened to our podcast, if you want to learn more about soil carbon projects you can find an article written especially for our podcast by Remi Cardinael and Armwell Shumba in Zimbabwe and Vira Leng in Cambodia.Host: Anna CunninghamExecutive producer: Michaëla Cancela-KiefferEdition: Camille KauffmannNewsgathering: Camille KauffmannMusic design: Nicolas Vair with Irma Cabrero-Abanto and Sebastian Villanueva.Share your thoughts at podcasts@afp.com.

Welcome back to Your Planet, a podcast series brought to you in association with The Conversation that delves into solutions for addressing climate change and the ecological crisis. In the first episode of Your Planet we took a deep dive into the Anthropocene -- the name given to a new epoch that many scientists believe Planet Earth has already entered, and which those experts say is marked by humanity's unprecedented footprint on the earth. This time we go back to the 1980's, when we had one big problem -- a giant hole in the Earth's ozone layer, which was ultimately reduced because of the actions taken worldwide. So how did we do it? What we learned in the process still inspires climate activists today.In 1987, the global community signed the Montreal Protocol to protect the ozone layer by phasing out man-made ozone-depleting substances. Today, many are calling for a new phase-out; this time targeting the production of fossil fuels, by far the largest contributors to global climate change.This will be a key debate at COP28, the annual United Nations Climate Change Conference held from 30 November until 12 December in Dubai.To learn more about the ozone layer, we recommend this article by Cathy Clerbaux is a physicist at the Free University of Brussels and Senior scientist at Laboratoire Atmosphères & Observations Spatiales (LATMOS) at Sorbonne UniversityHost: Anna Cunningham.Executive producer: Michaëla Cancela-KiefferEdition: Camille KauffmannNewsgathering: Michaëla Cancela-KiefferMusic design: Nicolas Vair with Irma Cabrero-Abanto and Sebastian Villanueva.Share your thoughts at podcasts@afp.com.

Welcome to Your Planet, a new podcast series from the international news agency AFP, brought to you in association with The Conversation. As world leaders are about to meet for the United Nations annual climate change conference, COP28, in Dubai, join us for this 8 part series. We'll delve into solutions debated at the COP at a critical time for our planet. From the global south to the global north we'll examine their potential and analyse how they aim to lead us into a more sustainable future. We'll also keep a close eye on how some of those solutions relate to the nine crucial environmental planetary boundaries that scientists say must not be crossed. Six out of the nine boundaries have already been breached according to the Stockholm University's Resilience Centre. So, how do we reduce pressure and reinforce the stability and resilience of earth's system?We'll also examine some ideas that are not viable solutions and debunk why they aren't the fix they promise to offer us.Your Planet will explore these initiatives every Wednesday starting on November 22.Whether you're an environmental enthusiast, a concerned citizen, or just curious about the future of our planet subscribe now and join us for Your Planet from AFP, coming soon.

In Episode 115, we revisit the concept of 'Who's on Your Planet?' from one of my most popular earlier episodes. We explore why we want to move some people off who don't belong. And we talk about the importance of not doing a crash landing on other people's planets! Even (especially) when we really, really want them to change, learn, wake up, get it right, do it differently, etc Interested in joining my new FREE Dashboard Club and enjoying exclusive content?

Episode 129 of the ERAVE365 podcast!  Been a while since we've had some twisted beats and rhythms from the man Freefall, so let's fix that.  Dark and dirty as you would expect

 It's November, and here in the States, that means we're getting ready for Turkey Day! But on Planet 8, with our love of all things sci fi, fantasy, and horror, we have a love of a different kind of turkey: those films that many, especially those in the mainstream, consider to be bad films. And truth be told, a lot of these films might not be the greatest films. The production values might be poor, or the acting might not be spectacular, but for us, for the fans, we find something about them that we enjoy.Your Planet 8 crew will take turns discussing some of our favorite turkeys. We'll cover films from far and wide, including Japanese monster films, a Star Trek movie (which one could it be??), several super-hero films, and of course, the requisite B-movie monster flicks. It's a nice mix of genres, as well as films from the 60s to recent years. Some of these films we consider misjudged, while others may indeed be turkeys, but we love 'em just the same!For our Sensor Sweep, Chief Engineer Bob describes his amazing Spirit Halloween store score, four six-foot tall bubble tubes! He snagged these after Halloween, and now has added them to his monster garage, tiki bar, and Creature from the Black Lagoon corner! It's some great bling.Listeners, we have an announcement. We have found a new home for the podcast on Podbean. After four years now of podcasting, we realized we needed a dedicated podcasting platform to host the show.

One of the most anticipated TV series in years has just concluded its first season, and there's been a lot of talk about it, especially between the members of Planet 8. We're talking, of course, about Obi-Wan Kenobi, the latest Star Wars show on Disney Plus.Picking up threads from the prequel trilogy and the Clone Wars series, the show follows up on a downtrodden Obi-Wan Kenobi, years after the devastation of the Jedi Order and the fall of the Republic. Obi-Wan lives an unremarkable life on Tatooine, making a living harvesting meat from gigantic desert beasts, and living in a cave not far from the Lars homestead, where he can watch over the young Luke Skywalker. However, through a turn of events, Obi-Wan is called back into service, and must ultimately confront his former friend and now greatest foe, Darth Vader.One of the problems of doing a story like this, where you're dealing with events that take place in a character's past, is you know they can't be killed off or face serious physical jeopardy, so the focus is much more on their development and growth. The show managed to believably take us from a defeated, self-doubting Obi-Wan to one who has rediscovered his self-worth. It's rewarding to watch, mainly due to the wonderful acting skills of Ewan McGregor. He fully embodies the former Jedi knight and makes him relatable and sympathetic.A true delight was the unexpected appearance of ten-year-old Princess Leia as portrayed by the marvelous Vivien Lyra Blair. She perfectly captured the spirit of Carrie Fisher's performance.The introduction of the inquisitor Reva, played by newcomer Moses Ingram, brings to mind questions regarding how the Jedi council functioned -or didn't - and the idea of redemption and how that works in Star Wars. It seems like a person can be truly reprehensible but repent and then be completely redeemed. Does that make sense?This series, along with Rogue One, helps establish Darth Vader as a true villain again. He and Obi-Wan have several encounters, with Ben getting the upper hand only at the end. The last battle also sets up their encounter in the original film, and explains Kenobi's somewhat cryptic remarks to Luke regarding his father. It's a bit of backwards dancing but it's done well.All in all, we enjoyed the series. It provides some insight into established characters without breaking canon and gives us some new characters and developments that might allow for a season two. Our Sensor Sweep carries on the Star Wars theme, as Karen presents a fabulous book, Secrets of the Force: The Complete, Uncensored, Unauthorized Oral History of Star Wars by Mark A. Altman and Edward Gross. This hefty tome moves chronologically through the history of the Star Wars films, animated series, and The Mandalorian via interviews with the people who made them. It's a treasure trove of great stories and information for any Star Wars fan.Big News: Your Planet 8 crew will be appearing live at Creatures Con! Held in Orinda, California on August 7,  all three of us -Larry, Bob, and Karen - will be hanging out at a table at the convention! The show is going to be a blast. This year author and film commentator David J. Skal will be a special guest, along with Sara Karloff, daughter of Boris Karloff,  and many others. The show is hosted by our good friend, Lord Blood-Rah, and  Tom Wyrsch, also friend of Planet 8. It's going to be a fantastic show, so please check it out. You can find all the info at http://www.creaturescon.com/. All right kids, that's it for this time. Please be good to each other and be safe!Let us know what you think of Obi-Wan:Twitter: https://twitter.com/Planet8CastFacebook: www.Facebook.com/Planet8PodcastYouTube: https://youtube.com/Planet8podcastUtinni!!

Episode 6- In our final episode from this wonderful series, Stefan Labas and I finish with the topic of energy and surrounding yourself with people who are positive, happy and successful.  Why it is important to build your own board of directors to accelerate your goals.

Doldrums are the world of the man with the limited imagination. Terror is the world for the person with a narrow view of life. Tonight Herr Doktor Vrilock discloses a broader global perspective, some fun humor debasing bureaucrats, and mopping the floor with the cavemen of politico!  Brushing all the drama aside, what we see before us is a dissolving of the old world alliances for a new digital ideal. This new system becomes possible when the old beliefs are disproven by the revelations of truth, transparency, and global inclusion.  For centuries—no, for thousands of years!—the world has ever been a place of strife and conflict! War after war has the face of the planet been devastated for the many; While the uber rich and fraternities of the world gloat over humanity in its perpetual misery. To understand more clearly it is the old system which builds itself on the broken backs of our grand-ancestors. The SWFT system belongs to the old elite. The top of the pyramid has been the icon of needless and senseless suffering for centuries. It has been a system reliant on our being isolated, drawn behind borders we believe protect us but really only keep us caged within a limited and narrow view of this planet we live on; A planet with the potential to feed every single individual and human being and animal aplenty. We have lived under the illusion that there is not enough food for the multitude. But this is a lie. Rather, it is the activities of the ruthlessly powerful and wealthy who have ‘stolen' our planet from us.  This is YOUR PLANET! This is OUR PLANET!  THIS IS PLANET VRILOCK—And all the work we do in psionics to make this planet Planet Vrilock is going back to you!  WE will take over the world and then we will help you build it to serve you, and then we will leave you alone. You will be free to do as you ‘feel' spiritually revitalized and reunited with your friends all around the world.  Now, this is very ideal. But it is also POSSIBLE! Absolutely!  Do you believe that every single member of the elite families around the planet want to carry out a diabolical plot to destroy all persons on this planet? Well, telepathy and psychic power tell us that THEY do not. That's because some people up at the top still have a soul. And, because countless students in psionics have been trained by Herr Doktor Vrilock to pitch in and help build this new system.  We have before us a generation of millennials who have in their numbers many fresh minds with a vision of hope. Maybe not one singular vision, but many ideas of how to improve the world. This generation is the key to a new world. We must help them build the new world.  Tonight, I want you to enjoy the mirthful humor, but keep in mind that what we all really want here is a future which provides opportunities to people all over the world. Once we let go of our stubborn beliefs that we are the only ones or that our nation is better than other nations or other people, only then will we come to a true realization of human truth. And you will discover for yourself what this truth is. Shedding the old skin so to speak will allow the golden rays of pure truth to seep deeply into every fiber of your being.    KEEP THE MAGICK HIGH!  V.    PS.

Episode 5- Stefan explains to us how certain breathing exercises help us tap into the "operating" system of the body, in order to connect the subconscious to the conscious.  A combination of specific breathing exercises that awaken the Theta waves in our body with meditation is incredibly effective at reaching our goals.

Cindy Stibbard, CEO of Divorce Redefined, is a professionally guided divorce and career transition coach; advocating for a BETTER divorce and BRIGHTER new future.  |Podcast sponsored by Pause Well Aging| Cindy, like many successful entrepreneurs, started her business out of a void.  Having struggled through her divorce on many different levels, Cindy decided to start a business that could help with pre-, during and post-divorce support, for the benefit of the entire family. Cindy discusses the four key segments where divorce will impact you; financially, legally, socially and emotionally. She also emphasizes that she is not pro-divorce but rather an advocate for healthy relationships. She helps people get "unstuck" when she recognizes behaviours that are not serving her clients.   From The Shot Caller and The Wealth Alchemist perspectives, one of the biggest areas of vulnerabilities that shows up time and time again is the financial piece.   She knows this piece well because it happened to her.  It is an important part of our discussion; helping woman to be less vulnerable in marriage often means educating them on financial and investment topics.   Cindy works with mostly women, but men are approximately 25% of her client base and she hopes that continues to increase.  While divorce is not gender specific, nor is Cindy's professional support, it is very common for her to find women who are the most vulnerable.  90% of her female clients come to her without any bank account in their own name!  Gray Divorce is on the rise.  While studies show that the average age of divorce in the US is 30, the rate of people divorcing over 50 has doubled since 1990. (A report by Business Insider found) Additionally, the LA Times did an article that said divorce over 50 is truly financially devestating, especially for women, whose standard of living drops on average by 45%.  For men, it is a drop of around 21% after divorce over 50. Clearly, helping people to navigate these potential landmines and ideally avoid them, especially for women, is a smart thing to do. I believe this podcast will resonate for a wide range of people.  Ultimately, both Cindy and I want to see more women empowered and in less vulnerable positions. Our podcast sponsor, Pause Well-Aging, is specifically addressing the big challenges women face during peri-menopause and menopause from a skincare perspective.  From their Collagen Boosting Moisturizer-I am a raving fan, to their fascia stimulating tool and their Cooling Mist spray for HOT FLASHES, Rochelle and team are making sure women in their 50's have skincare suited to their skin!  Share this podcast with anyone you think could really benefit. Cindy is also kicking off a special series with VoiceAmerica called- “Divorce ReDefined: Changing the Experience of Divorce” On March 16th, yours truly, The Wealth Alchemist-Shannon Sagawe, will be a guest!  ***************** For a more detailed write up on this podcast visit: https://the-wealth-alchemist.com/podcast/ If you liked this podcast, please consider writing a review on Apple ITunes at Shot Caller Podcast: A Podcast by Shannon Sagawe Stay on top of the most insightful topics regarding Yourself, Your Wealth and Your Planet, by signing up for our monthly ALCHEMY ON SUNDAYS bulletin.  (5 minute read, 1x a month for you) Join a Wealth Alchemist Investment literacy course.  We just launched a new Web 3.0 course that will help you navigate this exponential new world.  Web 3.0 Course (NFTs and DeFi) Follow Shannon On: Instagram: Wealth_Alchemist_shannonsagawe Facebook: The Wealth Alchemist YouTube: The Wealth Alchemist- Shannon Sagawe LinkedIn: shannonsagawe Twitter: twitter.com/shannonsagawe Other relevant guests to this topic on the show: Rochelle Weiztner, CEO Pause Well-Aging Screen Schooled Part 1, The Dumming Down of Our Children  .  .  .

Nikolina Lauc- CEO of GlycanAge, a precision health company that has the only biological age test that accurately measures your unique response to lifestyle change, explains to us the 30+ years of glycan research that has helped them develop their unique blood test.  | This episode is brought to you by Pause Well Aging, a well-aging company that is more than just skincare. It's a movement affirming that beauty gets better with age. | This father and daughter duo are unlocking the human glycome for preventative health and longevity.  Nikolina, however, did not become an entrepreneur with Glycanage.  Nikolina has ONLY been an entrepreneur, starting as a teenager. Coming from a family of academics, she was hindered by dyslexia.  Reading Richard Branson's biography was a breakthrough moment when she realised there was more than one way to be successful in life.  Hearing Sir Richard's story of both struggle but passion was a huge influence in her decision to walk her own "entrepreneurial" path. Her father, Prof. sc.D Gordan Lauc, is a molecular scientist and on the forefront of advanced glycan science. Glycans play a vital role in keeping us healthy but are also involved in most major diseases. As we age, the balance of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory glycans in our body changes.  She explains how glycans have a large influence on your unique biology and are regulated almost equally by our genes on one side and environment and lifestyle choices on the other. Nikolina has become a major advocate for educating women on the impact of peri-menopause as it is during this time that women see the greatest increase in biological age- up to 9 years.  She discusses the current, unsatisfactory healthcare support for women in both peri-menopause and menopause.  Nikolina explains the misleading HRT study that created a huge controversy around breast cancer risk. We also hear about her personal $250k investment into the firm, their venture capital fundraising efforts and the fact that GlycanAge is already at break-even financially! If you want a sneak peak into how glycans inform what diseases you may be at risk for, 7-10 years ahead of time, this is a podcast for you.  If you want to learn, with more precision, what your personal disease risks may be, take one of their at-home blood tests. At the end of the podcast, I actually do a finger prick GlycanAge blood test live!  Listen to the end to see how well I do. ***************** For a more detailed write up on this podcast visit: https://the-wealth-alchemist.com/podcast/ If you liked this podcast, please consider writing a review on Apple ITunes at Shot Caller Podcast: A Podcast by Shannon Sagawe Stay on top of the most insightful topics regarding Yourself, Your Wealth and Your Planet, by signing up for our monthly ALCHEMY ON SUNDAYS bulletin.  (5 minute read, 1x a month for you) Join a Wealth Alchemist Investment literacy course.  We just launched a new Web 3.0 course that will help you navigate this exponential new world.  Web 3.0 Course (NFTs and DeFi) Follow Shannon On: Instagram: Wealth_Alchemist_shannonsagawe Facebook: The Wealth Alchemist YouTube: The Wealth Alchemist- Shannon Sagawe LinkedIn: shannonsagawe Twitter: twitter.com/shannonsagawe Other relevant guests to this topic on the show: Dr. Elisabeth Yurth: Episode 1 Dr. Elisabeth Yurth: Episode 2 Dr. Nichola Conlon, Nuchido NAD+ Dr. Tobias Reichmuth, Maximon-The Longevity Company Builder Daniel Dietz, Spermidine Life+ .  .  . 

What happens when you cross a cat rescuing microbiologist with another cat rescuing MBA student?  You get a passionate and purposeful team who has set out remove animals from factory farming and the pet food supply chain by creating cultivated mouse meat!  BOOM, we have Because Animals! That is what we call SHOT CALLERS! Shannon Falconer and co-founder Josh Errett bonded at a Toronto cat rescue organization and realized they had the skills and passion to help take animals out of the pet food industry supply chain.   Shannon, having completed her post-doctoral fellow in microbiology and immunology at Stanford, realized she had the scientific knowledge to create cultivated meat for the pet food industry.  It would be the first step in removing animals from our pet food supply chain.   Because Animals has already launched their first non-cell based pet products; probiotics and treats for cats and dogs. In 2021, they also successfully raised over $3 million in venture capital from big name firms Draper Associates, Orkla, SOSVC and many more. Their first limited edition cultivated "Mouse Meat Cat Cookie" is set to launch in 2022.  In early 2022 they will launch their A round of venture capital fundraising to expand their test facility for larger production capability.  From a health perspective, it makes a ton of sense to give cats a "native" diet, instead of the left-overs from an awful chemical process from animals they would NEVER normally eat in the wild.  So many of you listening to this podcast will have a precious pet at home.  You will want the very best for your fur baby.  But how many of you know the origin of the pet food you are feeding Snoopy and Garfield?   The answer is that most of us, including me, are oblivious.  Not only does Shannon Falconer explain to us what "fallen animals" are in the entire food supply chain, but also how awful the condition of meat is in these "rendering" facilities. Shannon enlightens us some of the challenges behind "feeding" the cells they are growing. The common ingredient used is called "fetal bovine serum."  This was obviously NOT a solution for them.  These protein "media" are also very expensive.  This was one of the first hurdles they needed to overcome.  As a chemical biologist, she relied on her training to find a better, more ethical solution. They have made great progress, but it is a process that will continuously be refined and improved.   As a business, Because Animals intends to be very price competitive with the premium and ultra-premium segment of the pet food industry.  She tells us, by the way, that these two segments are the only current "growth" markets in the pet food industry.  This is a comforting statistic as consumers, ie. pet parents, are becoming more discerning about what they feed their dogs and cats.  Rapid Fire: Shannon's favourite book: The God of Small Things Leader she respects: CEO Impossible Foods, Pat O.

Henrik Lund, CEO of Naturli- tells us how Naturli is not just a plant-based food producer; they are a MOVEMENT, that also happens to produce and sell plant-based food products. Naturli was founded in 1988 and for quite a few years, their products were only to be found in the specialty allergy section in a remote corner of Danish grocery stores. The Dragsbeak firm, a Danish firm around since the 1920's, saw an opportunity to expand their product range with Naturli and invested in the company.  Eventually they bought them out and developed a great partnership. Henrik regales us with several stories on creativity, innovation and building community as accelerants to their success story. They created the first private Naturli "chillers" in the grocery stores in Denmark to showcase their plant-based milk products- "creating envy" amongst the other grocery chains who were not yet carrying the "Naturli chillers" in their stores.   Naturli embraced the plant-based community to get feedback on what was the most important future products they wanted. Naturli and Henrik have taken a positive, humorous and often ingenious approach to building their brand and staying ahead of the pack. Naturli is now a fast growing "global" firm, with a firm fan following in the UK, especially at Sainsbury's, in Coop Switzerland, recently in the Ukraine, Scandinavia of course, Europe, Australia via Woolworth's and now the US! Naturli has teamed up with other plant based food makers such as OATLY to fight the non-sensical proposed EU Legislation to restrict plant based food companies from using terms such as "creamy," "veggie burger," "butter and cheese substitute," and more.  Given the HUGE impact that animal farming has on climate change, the preaching from the EU to slow the warming of the plane, this was a massive hypocrisy by the EU, showing their spinelessness to the EU Dairy lobby, that fortunately failed.   This podcast is a great "case study" for anyone out there looking to build a consumer food company, understand inclusive leadership and embrace change.  Henrik is so positive, reflective and a great inspiration for how to connect with consumers in a meaningful way.  Follow Henrik and Naturli via their FACEBOOK and INSTAGRAM pages.  Please also ask your local grocery store to carry their products, if they don't already!  They are fantastic. ******************* If you liked this podcast, please consider writing a review on Apple ITunes at Shot Caller Podcast: A Podcast by Shannon Sagawe Stay on top of the most insightful topics regarding Yourself, Your Wealth and Your Planet, by signing up for our monthly ALCHEMY ON SUNDAYS bulletin.  (5 minute read, 1x a month for you) Join a Wealth Alchemist Investment literacy course or more importantly, sign your teenager up for our Teen Investment Academy Course!

WELCOME TO OUR 50th EPISODE!!!!  Thank you for all of your support.  As October is both Breast Cancer Awareness and Menopause Awareness month; we are ending the month with a very cool story from another revolutionary entrepreneur! Rochelle Weitzner is a seasoned C-Suite executive and beauty industry veteran. She is the founder and CEO of Pause Well-Aging, a barrier-busting skincare brand that has provided effective solutions for women experiencing this life stage, as well as made women more comfortable sharing their menopause stories.  She was the CEO of Erno Laszlo, CFO of Laura Mercier & Revive Skincare and spent the 19 years before that with International Paper in various SVP finance roles for $1+ billion businesses within IP. "Sparked by a hot flash, created by science.  Finally skincare made for all 3 stages of menopause." Rochelle walks us through her decision to go from a hot flash to entrepreneur, deciding to start a skincare company that helps mature, hormone changing skin!  On this journey she has also had to become an advocate for policy changes on the topic of menopause; so women are truly able to be informed.  She regales us with some truly unbelievable stories about working with the lawyers at QVC to allow the word "menopause' to be used on TV and how she is still working with Google to allow them to "re-market" their products because it has the word menopause on it! Rochelle is such a thoughtful and dedicated entrepreneur.  She is a wonderful inspiration to anyone out there over 50, about how to create a business from a pain point.  Menopausal skincare was one of the rare "white spaces" within the entire skincare industry! As an advocate for financial and investment literacy, there is tremendous investment upside in the entire "menopause economy" and the Femtech industry!   Rochelle tells us why the Pause Skincare line is so awesome and about some of their recent awards and accolades.  Their products are proving so popular, young people and men are also buying them up quickly! The lucky Shot Caller listeners will get a 15% discount on all of their products through the end of the year!  Use code: shotcaller15 and get yourself some fresh, plump, happy skin!  Some statistics to really open your eyes to the problem and opporutnity: According to Forbes, By 2025, there will be over 1 billion women experiencing menopause in the world, which will be 12% of the entire world population of 8 billion. Vasomotor Symptoms (VMS), including hot flashes and night sweats, are experienced by approximately 75% of them. Forbes also estimates the economic impact to be about $600 billion! According to findings from a survey conducted by the American Association of Retired Persons in 2017-18, only 1 in 5 women in the US received a referral to a menopause specialist. Of the 60% of women who seek medical attention, an appalling 75% of them are left untreated. “Women are derailed financially by consistently and universally being paid less than men.  They are minimized legally, even considered a form of property in many ways and in many parts of the world.  They are hindered intellectually, as women make up two-thirds of the 774 million illiterate adults on the planet, figures that have not budged in twenty years.  As surely as women's social, financial and physical security remain inequitable, women's health is in deep jeopardy.  Dr. Lisa Mosconi, The XX Brain ******************* If you liked this podcast, please consider writing a review on Apple ITunes at Shot Caller Podcast: A Podcast by Shannon Sagawe Stay on top of the most insightful topics regarding Yourself, Your Wealth and Your Planet, by signing up for our monthly ALCHEMY ON SUNDAYS bulletin.  (5 minute read, 1x a month for you) Join a Wealth Alchemist Investment literacy course or more importantly, sign your teenager up for our Teen Investment Academy Course!

Dr. Nichola Conlon, a leader in longevity science since 2014, is a passionate advocate for education in longevity science. As CEO and Co-Founder of Nuchido Laboratories, She wants to help YOU be YOU for longer! Why is Nuchido different from many other supplement companies?  They are "systems pharmacologists" who approach the the body's many challenges with multi-targeted solutions that address the underlying biological complexity that is required for optimal cellular health. They translate scientific advancements into simple and effective products for broad consumer use. Nichola tells her story as a young researcher finding many different molecules that she believed could be very effective in increasing longevity and "health span."  However, many of these molecules were patented for drug use and would not generate the kind of financial returns that most drug companies require.  Dr. Conlon decided to start her own company, starting with the powerhouse molecule, NAD+. Why NAD+?  NAD+ is a critical coenzyme found in every cell in our body, and it's involved in hundreds of metabolic processes.  It plays a significant role in turning nutrients into energy in our body AND is a key player in our metabolism.  Unfortunately, it is estimated that your NAD+ levels halve every 20 years- from birth!  By the time you are elderly, you most likely have only a small amount of NAD+ working for you in your system.  Thus, it is such a huge problem and one she wanted to create a science first, effective supplement to help the body increase NAD+.   Nichola explains how this is not a straight forward process and that many companies out there are just trying to "load" more into our system; which Nichola and Nuchido believe to be an "ineffective" solution.  The Nuchido team works on the "recycling pathway" that the body uses very effectively.  The problem is not the "raw materials" but the "recycling pathway." For those of you who want to understand how the body has evolved and uses NAD+ in our system, this is a fantastic podcast.  Nicola explains the process so that everyone can understand. You will walk away with more motivation and clarity on where to spend your time and money on slowing the aging process and most importantly increasing our HEALTHSPAN! Dr. Conlon and I discuss the other important ways to upgrade your health and live longer; intermittent fasting, eating whole foods and exercising.  You can NOT supplement your way out of a bad diet.   Lastly, we spend some time hearing how having a higher level of NAD+ as a woman in or around menopause is proving to be a great way to minimize many of the symptoms women suffer from; lack of sleep and brain fog to name a few.  October is both Breast Cancer and Menopause Awareness Month.  According to Dr. Lisa Mosconi, over 850 million women all around the world, have just entered or are about to enter menopause.  Nichola has had many female customers report back a significant drop in some of the worst menopause symptoms.  She has been so intrigued that they are starting a study on this topic alone, so that they can back up these experiences with scientific results. Nuchido is offering all the Shot Caller listeners a 10% discount off their purchase of the TIME+ supplement!  Use code TWA10 (The Wealth Alchemist) at https://nuchido.com/pages/nad-supplements Nichola is passionate about bringing their longevity science to everyone and not just those in the biohacking world.  Please share this podcast with anyone you think might be suffering from a lack of energy, menopause symptoms or someone who is fascinated by science!  I believe you will be doing them a great service. ******************* If you liked this podcast, please consider writing a review on Apple ITunes at Shot Caller Podcast: A Podcast by Shannon Sagawe Stay on top of the most insightful topics regarding Yourself, Your Wealth and Your Planet, by signing up for our monthly ALCHEMY ON SUNDAYS bulletin.  (5 minute read, 1x a month for you) Join a Wealth Alchemist Investment literacy course or more importantly, sign your teenager up for our Teen Investment Academy Course!

"There is a term sometimes used called 'toxic positivity.'  For sure our thoughts have power and ultimately we want to see the glass as 'half-full,' but absolutely, not at the expense of suppressing emotion."  Sylvia Beasley-Suffolk, Founder Shine True In this very special episode, Sylvia explains the very significant impact our thoughts have on every aspect of our life.  Our thoughts can of course serve us or make us miserable. Sylvia uses my Oktoberfest story, where I unravelled over not finding my dirndl hours before the event and how that brought up surprisingly strong emotions for me around not feeling confident and comfortable in my own body.  She explains the concept of the energy body and its components; mental, emotional & physical body.  It holds our subconscious beliefs as well as our suppressed emotions.  So many of our core beliefs, learned in childhood, we may not even be aware of. Beyond explaining why we live in these vicious circles, she gives us the tools to break-out of this unhealthy cycle and get back into the emotional "driver's seat," to live a more balanced and happier life.   Humans are absolutely wired to AVOID pain and seek pleasure.  We are far more driven by "loss aversion" than the prospect of gain.  These "dinosaur" brain reactions can inform how we both see and react to our environment.  Sylvia explains what an "amygdala hijack" is and how to recognize when this is happening.  Science continues to uncover just how connected our physical health is to our emotional state.  Not addressing our emotional pain can be at our personal physical peril.  There can be no "wealthy warriors" without both physical and mental well-being.   Health is an unremovable piece of living a wealthy life.  For this reason, I have asked Sylvia to do this podcast along with a lovely meditation at the end.  Her meditation is to help get you "grounded" and return to a more balanced state of mind. I truly hope you bookmark this podcast and come back to it whenever you are feeling untethered or ungrounded.  Let Sylvia know if this podcast resonated and helped you.   SHINE TRUE COACHING & BUSINESS CONSULTING Sylvia Beasley-Suffolk Linked In Sylvia Beasley-Suffolk Instagram ******************* If you liked this podcast, please consider writing a review on Apple ITunes at Shot Caller Podcast: A Podcast by Shannon Sagawe Stay on top of the most insightful topics regarding Yourself, Your Wealth and Your Planet, by signing up for our monthly ALCHEMY ON SUNDAYS bulletin.  (5 minute read, 1x a month for you) Join a Wealth Alchemist Investment literacy course or more importantly, sign your teenager up for our Teen Investment Academy Course!

"Humans almost never enter a period of resource deprivation. That's what led to fasting because this creates Autophagy, which cleans our cells. We need to go back to our evolutionary processes and realize that our technology has gone far beyond our body in recognizing our new environment. We need to intentionally invoke Autophagy. Whether that be through Spermidine supplementation or fasting to clean out that dead toxic matter to extend our health and lifespan."  Daniel Dietz, CEO Longevity Labs, Inc.  Daniel Dietz, CEO of Longevity Labs US and SpermidineLife+ tells us the fascinating story of how Dr. Frank Madeo from the University of Graz discovered Spermidine's role in turning on "Autophagy" in our cells. He shares with us how Dr. Gerald Sitte and Herbert Pock then worked with Dr. Madeo to license and develop SpermidineLife+ supplementations, ALWAYS as a "science first" company.  The Headquarters for SpermidineLife is in Graz, Austria.   This podcast will get you up to speed on what Autophagy is, why it is important in living a long AND healthy life and the various ways to support this mechanism via intermittent fasting and the breakthrough peptide supplement SpermidineLife+ that his company manufactures.  Daniel also gives us insight to the US regulatory environment around supplements and how consumers can be a bit more savvy in understanding what to look out for in the wild world of supplements.  We get into the topics of #ketosis, #biohacking, #cellularscience, #bioavailability and more. This podcast is for all you budding #biohackers out there who want to "upgrade" and "renew" your cells to live your BEST and longest LIFE!  For those of you who would like to try their groundbreaking supplement, The Wealth Alchemist has a code to use: Shannon5 I absolutely LOVE this supplement and have seen my fingers nails grow hard as rock, my eyelashes become darker, my blood pressure slowly come down and even bouncier hair!  I recommend trying it for 3 months as it will take some time to build up in your system.   **************** Avoiding "Financial Learned Helplessness" with the Revolut Card and App! The Wealth Alchemist, me, is a HUGE fan of the new REVOLUT JUNIOR Card!  (link to referral code) They have features like; tasks and goals that align pocket money, school accomplishments, good behaviour, etc. to earning some extra money.  Both parents can transfer money via their Revolut accounts.  Your child can have limited access to only their account to see their account balance.  I particularly love the feature that sends me a text whenever one of my boys is using their card.  It helps me to have "teachable" moments if I see spending patterns that might be unhealthy.  (lot's of $1 to $2 Itunes purchases that actually add up to a lot of money!) Referral code here: https://revolut.com/referral/shannogjiz!SEP1AR This is a great way to start your young adult children out on the right financial path!  *********************** If you liked this podcast, please consider writing a review on Apple ITune at Shot Caller Podcast: A Podcast by Shannon Sagawe Stay on top of the most insightful topics regarding Yourself, Your Wealth and Your Planet, by signing up for our monthly ALCHEMY ON SUNDAYS bulletin.  (5 minute read, 1x a month for you) Join a Wealth Alchemist Investment literacy course or more importantly, sign your teenager up for our Teen Investment Academy Course!

In Part 2 of the Screen Schooled Podcast, Joe Clement and Matt Miles , two veteran teachers from the Washington DC area, do a deeper dive with Alex and I on how the over exposure to gaming and especially social media is contributing to the teen mental health crisis. "Learned Helplessness" and a prolific lack of resilience among the teenagers they teach is a big theme in this episode.  Joe and Matt give examples of how parents are overly controlling their students schedules, tests, homework and complaining about grades.  This trend to prevent any "failure" in our children means a lack of accountability and resilience later in life that may come back to bite, hard. Joe and Matt discuss the trend for boys to be more addicted to gaming and girls to be more addicted to social media.  In their book they sight a tripling of teen death by suicide from 2007-2017, coinciding with the invention of the smart phone.  Other problems like anxiety and depression are also massively on the rise.   If we know, and science has demonstrated, social media is toxic, why aren't we as parents, teachers and as communities doing more to help them?   This is a big question that requires big, sweeping contribution from our entire society, including the tech firms and the educators who are embracing technology in a way that does not actually serve their students.  As educators, Matt and Joe are often subjected to school administrators who think they should not be left behind in the school "tech" proliferation trend.  They don't use digital devices as as A TOOL, but rather as proof that they are modern and up-to-date with trends.  Students of all ages are now overdosed with screens and digital devices, much to their detriment, Joe and Matt argue.  Grab a copy of Screen Schooled to inform yourself on both the problems and the solutions for raising well adjusted and balanced adults.  If you have children, you will be doing your entire family an important act by listening to what these two veteran teachers have to say.  We are in the midst of teen mental health epidemic and avoiding the worst outcomes for our children should be our top priority.   Highlights from Episode 2: The gamification of our children's education Social media is not "actually' enhancing our kids' social interactions because they lack the skills and knowledge that are supposedly being enhanced Cutting the "digital umbilical cord." Technology firms and a lack of ethical responsibility to children and young adults; The lobbying of firms like Twitter that result in school administrators forcing teachers to attend 1.5 hour meetings on how to get students to TWEET more!!!!  Adam Smith, The Theory of Moral Sentiments Major decline of student involvement in school pride activities; sports games, school concerts, plays, etc. What the skills of the future will be... *** Avoiding "Financial Learned Helplessness" with the Revolut Card and App!

 Arguably the best of the Star Trek film franchise, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan remains an important and highly rewatchable entry in the franchise. It took the films into a more action-oriented direction, giving the audience a movie with both personal stakes and dazzling space battles. Director Nick Meyer got the very best out of actors William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, and Ricardo Montalban, creating an intense struggle between our Enterprise crew and the twisted superman, Khan - despite the fact the rivals Kirk and Khan never share a scene physically together. Your Planet 8 crew is delighted to revisit this film on this episode.We'll start with a quick look back at the classic Trek episode Space Seed. Beginning with the original story (where the Khan character was called Harold Ericson) and the changes to the script, we talk about how this episode developed and how it wound up influencing producer Harve Bennett to use it as the basis for the second film.Moving to the film itself, we examine how that script evolved, and how it was necessary to keep the budget low. The film is essentially a "bottle show," with the action taking place mainly on the two ships (the Enterprise and the Reliant), which was actually the same set, redressed. Yet because of the excellent pacing and the suspense, it never feels claustrophobic or small.There are many themes in the film, but foremost is the theme of aging and mortality. All of the cast had obviously grown older, and seeing our Captain having to struggle with middle age was striking, making him more human, and perhaps more sympathetic. Meyer said the secret to getting a great performance out of Shatner was essentially to tire him out; his first takes were always "big", so Meyer would make him do it over and over until he got bored!But without a doubt, it is Ricardo Montalban's performance that steals the show. After years of doing Fantasy Island, even Montalban wasn't sure if he could carry off the role. But director Meyer worked closely with Montalban and elicited an amazing performance from him. And yes, that's his real chest!Of course, you can't discuss Star Trek II without talking about Spock's death. At the time, it felt devastating to fans. It was beautifully done, but even now, it's heartbreaking. Does knowing that he returns in ST III diminish his sacrifice when watching the film now?  We also ponder what Trek might have been like if it had moved forward without Spock.We close out with some thoughts on Star Trek: Into Darkness - it ain't pretty!For the Sensor Sweep, Karen shares two books, both by Edward Gross and Mark A. Altman, called The Fifty Year Mission: The First Twenty Five Years, and The Fifty Year Mission: The Next Twenty Five Years: From The Next Generation to J.J. Abrams. These dense tomes are an oral history of the Star Trek franchise, as told by the writers, directors, producers, actors, and everyone else involved! They are highly entertaining and pretty much required reading if you are a Star Trek fan. You can find them on Amazon, or from other fine book sellers.That's all for this episode. What are your feelings about Wrath of Khan? Have they changed over time? Let us know, either here, or at our other hangouts:Twitter: https://twitter.com/Planet8CastFacebook: www.Facebook.com/Planet8PodcastKhhaaaaaaaannnnnnn!

 What's that buzzing past your shoulder? A tiny fly? How annoying! Now imagine that you and that fly have somehow become inextricably joined, with you taking on the traits and even the physical aspects of the insect. This is the horror of The Fly, both the original 1958 film and the 1986 remake. On this episode we explore the concepts and stories of The Fly films, including the later sequels of the original film. We are joined once again by our good friend and honorary crew member, Lord Blood-Rah!The original film was based on a short story that appeared in (of all places) Playboy magazine. A scientist experimenting in teleportation accidentally merges himself physically with a fly in a failed experiment and gradually loses his humanity. The film largely follows the short story.  Vincent Price stars as the brother of the scientist, in a rare sympathetic role. David Hedison (billed as Al Hedison) plays the scientist, driven to perfect teleportation, but tragically doomed by his own ambition. Your Planet 8 crew discusses the the film in detail.Naturally we compare it to the 1986 Jeff Goldblum remake. Obviously the David Cronenberg-helmed 1986 film was much more grotesque, focusing on body horror, on the absolute degradation of the transformation. But it is also a love story, with Geena Davis playing the romantic interest. Certainly there's a lot going on in the film that speaks to fear of what can happen to us and our bodies that is timeless.There's also a lot of plain goofing around in this episode too, but hey, what did you expect?This episode's Sensor Sweep is from Chef Engineer Bob. Appropriately he shares the book, The Fly at 50, from Bear Manor Media (it's readily available at Amazon). Everything you want to know about the making of this sci-fi classic is in this book.Bob also reminds us that there's still time to get tickets for Godzilla's Monster Bash at the Balboa Theater in San Francisco, held May 14-16.

 Your Planet 8 crew has explored many realms of science fiction, fantasy, and horror, but this time we are taking on one of the all-time greats: Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey.Still considered by many to be the finest science fiction film ever made, Kubrick, along with science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke, developed a sweeping epic about mankind's place in the universe. It took almost three years from conception to the film's premiere in April 1968. Audiences had never seen anything like it, and many were simply dumbfounded by the ambiguity of the film. With 2001, Kubrick wanted to go outside conventional storytelling techniques and give the audience  "basically a visual, nonverbal experience" that "hits the viewer at an inner level of consciousness, just as music does." The film seems to be rather polarizing, with people either enjoying the mystery of it or finding the whole thing annoying.Your crew has various levels of enthusiasm for 2001! Some of us -OK, one of us (Karen) loves the film! Other crew members are perhaps not quite as enthusiastic. But we all can agree on its importance to science fiction, and film in general. Without 2001, and the vast technological advancements it made, we certainly wouldn't have had Star Wars, or Battlestar Galactica, Space:1999, and pretty much everything that has been made after it. The pioneering techniques of Douglas Trumbull, Stuart Freeborn, and so many others paved the way for the science fiction films we all know and love. The effects still look surprisingly good today. Of course, the movie was made during the height of the space race, and that enters our conversation too. Kubrick and Clarke wanted to create something that showed the beauty and wonder of space exploration, and how it was mankind's destiny to leave Earth -the cradle -and go beyond. Certainly, the film must have had a different impact on audiences viewing it in 1968 than in 2021. 2001 is nothing if not thought-provoking, and we get into some pondering of our own, as we wonder about the meaning and function of the mysterious monoliths, if progress is always fueled by aggression, what happened to HAL, and man's place in the cosmos. But hey, it's not all deep thoughts! You can be sure we'll talk about things like wobbly space stewardesses, cockney HAL, and Arthur C. Clarke in a towel!Fittingly, our Sensor Sweep this time around centers on a massive tome, Space Odyssey: Stanley Kubrick, Arthur C. Clarke, and the Making of a Masterpiece by Michael Benson. If you're a fan of 2001 or Stanley Kubrick, this is a fascinating look at how the film came together, from the initial meetings of Kubrick and Clarke, to preproduction and all the way to the film's reception by critics and audiences. It's amazing in its depth and detail. You can find it on Amazon, and be sure to check your local bookseller too.That's all for us this time - we're shutting the pod bay doors now!

 After nearly three years of podcasting on all things fantastic, we are finally getting around to one of the most fantastic, entertaining shows ever made: the 1960s classic, Lost in Space! We'll dive into the origins of the show, how it got made, what was in the pilot (which was never shown on TV), and some of the other actors considered for the roles of the Jupiter 2 crew. Can you say Carroll O'Connor??Of course, you can't talk about Lost in Space without talking about the triumvirate of the Robot, Dr. Smith, and Will Robinson. Over the course of the first season and definitely by the second, these three characters became the focus of the show. We'll share thoughts and stories about them, as well as the rest of the Jupiter 2 crew. Maybe even Debbie the Bloop!Your Planet 8 crew also talks about the special effects of Lost in Space. While people tend to focus on some of the cornier aspects of the show, it actually had some very cool effects - the scenes of the Jupiter 2 flying over planets look spectacular, for example. And of course, the Robot was great, and you had the chariot as well.We'll reminisce about favorite episodes, what we liked about the show, and what hits us differently as adults as opposed to when we were kids. Oh, and how can we forget the music by John Williams? Yes, that John Williams! Years before Jaws or Star Wars or Raiders of the Lost Ark, Williams scored a 60s TV show.  Lost in Space had some pretty terrific themes and incidental music which really set the show apart. For our Sensor Sweep...well, we actually forgot to prepare a Sensor Sweep! Just for fun, we left in our mad scramble to come up with something on the fly. Luckily Bob checked his recent Amazon purchases and found The Lost Adventures of James Bond by Mark Edlitz! This book covers all the films and shows that could have been made -but weren't -for James Bond. It's a must for any Bond fan.With that, we bid you all adieu - let us know your thoughts on Lost in Space. Did you watch it as a kid? What do you remember? Have you watched it lately? Let us know what you think:Twitter: https://twitter.com/Planet8CastFacebook: www.Facebook.com/Planet8PodcastOh, you blithering booby!

 Season's greetings, friends! Welcome back to Planet 8. To wrap up the year, we'll talk about one of the bright spots of 2020: season two of The Mandalorian. It was an exciting season, full of great character appearances, amazing new worlds and creatures, and fantastic adventures. We also got to see the relationship between Mando and the Child grow. For us old school Star Wars fans, it was like being transported back to those days of stories from a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. Warning -this is a SPOILER-FILLED episode! If you haven't seen season two of The Mandalorian, we suggest you watch it before listening, because this episode, and post, may give away details you don't want to know!Your Planet 8 crew will discuss their overall impressions of this season and then dive into each episode. We all loved the show and had a variety of thoughts and ideas about how this season unfolded. It's safe to say, we were all pleasantly surprised, especially with the finale. Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau have done a phenomenal job bringing this show to us. It's the right mix of new and old ideas, characters, and designs. Every week was like getting a new Star Wars movie straight out of the original trilogy era.The season gave us a lot of great action, with monsters to battle, lots of baddies, and some interesting planets too. But one of the highlights of the season was the impressive guest stars - Boba Fett, Ahsoka Tano, Bo-Katan Kryze, and...Luke Skywalker?! Unbelievable! The great thing about this all was that they didn't seem forced -they made sense given the storyline.Of course, the finale was a tear-jerker (especially for Commander Larry). The good-bye between Grogu and Din Djarin was touching, and well done by Pedro Pascal. Now we're left with many more questions. Will we see Grogu in season 3? Can the show continue to be as popular if Baby Yoda is gone? And honestly, considering what a marketing boon he is, is there any way they wouldn't have him on the show? But how do they do that? And what happens between Mando and Bo-Katan regarding the Dark Saber? And will Mando continue to follow his creed, or has he changed? We have a year to ponder these things....It's the holiday season and we want to wish all of our listeners the very best, whatever you may be celebrating. Thanks for spending some time with us over the year -especially this year. We hope we've been able to provide some lightness and entertainment during these difficult days. We hope you have a wonderful holiday and that the new year brings all of us some much needed happiness.That's all for now. Send us your thoughts about The Mandalorian -we'd love to know what you thought.Twitter: https://twitter.com/Planet8CastFacebook: www.Facebook.com/Planet8PodcastMay the Force be with you!

 There is nothing wrong with your speakers. Do not attempt to adjust the sound. We are controlling transmission. For the next hour your Planet 8 crew will control what you hear. You are about to experience the awe and mystery of the classic 60s TV show, The Outer Limits!One of the last of the anthology series on television, Outer Limits is fondly recalled by many fans today. One of its hallmarks was its "bears" - the strange, striking aliens and monsters created for the show. Appearing in almost every episode, these creatures often featured outlandish designs, which have proved to be highly memorable, such as the ant-like Zantis, the twisted Thetan from  Architects of Fear, and the Ebontie interrogator from Nightmare. The Projects Unlimited team, including Jim Danforth and Wah Chang, produced designs which have stood the test of time.But beyond the monsters, Outer Limits was a top notch science fiction show. It explored what it meant to be human, our flaws and  our potential. This was key for the shows creators, Leslie Stevens and Joe Stefano. Much like Star Trek, they wanted to impart a message about humanity. They also aimed high, for a more literary form of science fiction, although obviously they were balancing it with the crazy monster each week!We'll discuss a number of episodes, some favorites and some that we just found intriguing. Of course, OL had an extremely limited run -just a season and a half, 49 episodes. But there are so many fun shows to discuss! And there are interesting connections to other 60s shows, like Batman, Hogan's Heroes, Star Trek, and so on. As usual, we'll look at other aspects of the production, including the lighting, staging, and of course, the unique music, which was composed by Dominic Frontierre. And who could forget the control voice, performed by actor Vic Perrin?Outer Limits is definitely one of the most important SF series ever made, and its stories and creatures continue to provide entertainment and are influential decades later.Appropriately for our Sensor Sweep, Karen shares a beautiful book, David Schow's The Outer Limits at 50. This large paperback was published by Creature Features in 2014. It is packed full of fantastic photos from the show, some from behind the scenes. It also has descriptions and details about making each episode. This book is hard to find now (there are some ridiculous prices on eBay). But if you see it in a used bookstore, grab it! You won't be disappointed! Schow's Outer Limits Companion is also highly recommended.As we recorded this episode, news of the passing of actor David Prowse was just breaking. Your Planet 8 crew is saddened by this news. Of course, Prowse changed all our lives by being the physical presence of Darth Vader. But he also appeared in a number of Hammer films, and trained Christopher Reeve to bulk up for Superman. He was a remarkable gentleman, and we salute his life, and shall miss him.That's it for this time. We return control to you!

In 1979, we learned that in space, no one can hear you scream. But there was plenty of screaming in movie theaters, as audiences jumped and shrieked, scared senseless by the phenomenon that was Alien. It was a film like no one had seen before, a horror story in space, with a truly terrifying alien creature. Pitched as "Jaws in space," it was just as suspenseful, but had a sense of claustrophobia and body horror that Jaws lacked. Your Planet 8 crew are big fans of the original Alien and its follow up, Aliens. These two films are so perfect, and complement each other so brilliantly, yet are so completely different in tone. We'll take a look at the ground-breaking 1979 film, its amazing visuals, impressive cast, and of course, the alien itself, the xenomorph, a true icon of creature design. The distinctive H.R. Giger designs made the film stand out from anything that had ever come before - and made your skin crawl!It also made a star out of Sigourney Weaver. Alien was her first big film, and she gave a memorable performance as Ripley. It was unusual at that time for a woman to not only be the protagonist, but to be so self-sufficient and capable. Weaver wound up being the star of the franchise for years to come. The 1986 sequel, Aliens, went in a completely different direction thematically, and was more of an action film than a horror film. This worked surprisingly well. The space marines that Ripley teams up with were as interesting a group as the Nostromo crew from the original film. Actors we now know so well like Michael Biehn, Lance Henriksen, Bill Paxton, all provide classic performances. The film also gave us tons of aliens, including a giant alien queen. And just like the first film, everything was achieved with practical special effects, no CGI! Ah, those were the days.Of course, we have to talk a bit about the soundtracks - the films had two well-known composers, Jerry Goldsmith on Alien and James Horner on Aliens. Both interesting soundtracks, but very different, and some of Horner's cues have been used on a number of trailers. And Aliens sure sounds a lot like parts of  his Wrath of Khan soundtrack!These two films are still fantastic to watch and are true classics of science fiction film. If you haven't seen them in a while (or ever!), check them out. You will not be disappointed.For our Sensor Sweep this episode, Karen appropriately shares an amazing coffee table book from Titan Books called The Making of Alien by J.W. Rinzler. This 300+ page tome does a deep dive into the origins of Alien, and is illustrated with production designs and behind  the scenes photos. If you are a fan, you will love this book!That's it for us, folks. Send us your thoughts, your feedback, your insults, we'll take it all!

via GIPHY All right you primitive screwheads...this episode is devoted to our friend Ashley Williams! Yes, we're taking a trip through the Evil Dead films and TV series. When the original Evil Dead movie first came out, it really shook things up. The camera angles and movements, the strange sound effects, the story, and of course, the charismatic Bruce Campbell, all added up to a hit with horror audiences.The later entries would add more than a little humor to the horror, and that's where it seemed to really take off. Campbell had a gift for playing Ash as a lovable jerk, who was maybe more lucky than good. And he certainly delivered a number of notable one-liners!Your Planet 8 crew will talk about the origins of the Evil Dead film series, how Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell got the idea for the first film and financed it, and was it connected at all to an older film called Equinox? All this and more!We all like the third film, Army of Darkness, the best. It's an odd mix of fantasy, horror, and comedy, but it works really well. Ash pulls a Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court act, but despite his technological know-how, he still screws up and conjures up an army of deadites, including his own undead counterpart. There were two different endings and we talk about both the theatrical and director's cut versions.Finally we take a look at the Ash vs. Evil Dead TV show. It only lasted three seasons, but it was well done and really expanded the Evil Dead universe. Will there be more Evil Dead? Perhaps the truth is hidden in the pages of the Necronomicon...Starting with this episode's Sensor Sweep, Chief Engineer Bob will be throwing the spotlight on different artists who normally appear at the Godzilla and anime shows Bob puts on in the Bay Area, but Covid-19 has shut all that down right now. This time we are featuring artist Nick Shev. You can find his work at https://nickshev.bigcartel.com/. Nick does a lot of Godzilla art, but also aliens, mummies, original Halloween art, and more. He also does black light art -he takes a printed lithograph and hand draws details with a luminous marker. You can get lenticular stickers from him too. Take a look, there's a lot of very cool stuff on his site!That's all this time, friends and neighbors. Be sure to share your thoughts on Ash and the Evil Dead. Do you enjoy this film/TV series? Can you see it going on without Bruce Campbell as Ash? We want to know! And you know the drill by now...Twitter: https://twitter.com/Planet8CastFacebook: www.Facebook.com/Planet8PodcastThanks for listening!

via GIPHY Look out! The aliens are among us! They're after our water, our brains, our lifestyle -you name it! Sometimes they just plain don't like us. They come here in spaceships, or sometimes grow in pods. Sometimes they attack us openly, but other times they quietly infiltrate our society. Those aliens are a tricky bunch. This time on Planet 8, the crew turns our planetary defense system to maximum as we discuss ALIEN INVASIONS!!via GIPHYThe  alien invasion genre has its roots in both the Cold War and the flying saucer phenomenon, both rising out of the ashes of World War II. But even in more recent times, people continue to be fascinated with the idea of malevolent aliens coming to take over our world. Your Planet 8 crew talks about some of our favorite films in the genre, everything from Teenagers from Outer Space to The Brain from Planet Arous to Attack the Block! to They Live, and a whole lot more. Like, almost anything and everything we can remember!On the small screen side, we take a look at The Invaders, Twilight Zone, V, and UFO. I told you we were talking about everything!This time, Commander Larry has the Sensor Sweep, and he shares a Christmas gift he received , the Star Trek USS Enterprise Illustrated Handbook. This book covers the details of the Enterprise from the original series through the movies, and includes the Enterprise as shown on  Star Trek Discovery. Larry says it has a feel similar to the old technical manuals, so it must be pretty good! You can find it at major booksellers or get it from Amazon here.This is the last time we will bring up the Rondo Hatton Classic Horror Awards.

via GIPHYIt's here -the first live-action Star Wars series! And so far, everyone seems to agree -The Mandalorian is a hit! Your Planet 8 crew has eagerly awaited the debut of this Disney +  show, created by Jon Favreau, with contributions from Dave Filoni of Clone Wars and Rebels fame. Set about five years after the events of Return of the Jedi, the show depicts a time of uncertainty and unrest as the Alliance attempts to build from the ashes of the Empire. In the outer rim territories, the mysterious bounty hunter known as The Mandalorian forges a living hunting down bail jumpers and other low lifes, when he receives a bounty commission from former Imperials laying low. And from there, his life gets very complicated...It's not a surprise to say that our episode is heavily SPOILER-FILLED from minute one, so you may not want to listen unless you've seen the first four episodes of The Mandalorian! We will discuss just about every detail of the show, being long-time Star Wars fans, and this show really hearkens back to the original trilogy in many ways. But it also brings a fresh take on the universe, which we thoroughly enjoyed!via GIPHYWhat are some of the influences we detected for the show? What were the little details we flipped over? How much does Commander Larry love Baby Yoda? Take a listen and then be sure to chime in with your thoughts too!For our Sensor Sweep, no, it's not Star Wars, but Godzilla we turn to, as Chief Engineer Bob tells us all about the exciting new Godzilla Showa Era boxed set from Criterion! Almost as big as the King of Monsters himself, this eight disc bluray set covers Godzilla films from 1954 to 1975 and comes in a beautifully illustrated hardcover book. You can get it from Criterion or other fine retailers.OK, that's it for this transmission. If you've seen The Mandalorian, what are your thoughts so far?

We've only mentioned him before, but today we go all out with our love for that mysterious and dangerous, yet misunderstood, monster from the depths - the Creature from the Black Lagoon! If you've been listening to Planet 8 for any length of time, you've probably heard us heap praises on Creech, but now we have a whole episode devoted to the Gill-Man.Engineer Bob with Creech in Bob Burn's placeWhat is it about the Creature that makes him so appealing? Certainly he has a fantastic look. His design was ahead of his time, and so has become a classic. Your Planet 8 crew discusses that amazing suit, and some differences in the design for the water scenes versus land. There's been a lot of awareness of Millicent Patrick's role in designing the Creature lately, and we touch on that, as well as the work of Jack Kevan, Chris Mueller, and Bud Westmore. And of course, the men who wore the suit on land and underwater, Ben Chapman and Ricou Browning, must be recognized.We'll take a look at each of the films (Creature from the Black Lagoon, Revenge of the Creature , The Creature Walks Among Us), and which is our favorite -and you might be surprised! And what would a fourth Creature film have been like?It's hard to discuss the Creature without talking about his desire for human ladies -of course in the first film, it was Julie Adams, and the sequence with the Creature swimming below her has become iconic. This leads into a discussion of Shape of Water...We all have our Creature Collectibles -Bob has a whole basement devoted to the Creature. His favorite Creature item though, is his Bally pinball machine. Karen's favorite (which she's mentioned many times before) is the Sideshow premium format figure of the Creature swimming. Last but not least, Larry's favorite is his Anchor Hocking Creature glass. Bob's Creature basementKaren's Creech bustAll this, and so much more! It's a Creature-palooza this time on Planet 8!For our Sensor Sweep, Karen shares an appropriate item: a wonderful book called The Creature Chronicles, by Tom Weaver, friend of the show David Schecter, and Steve Kronenberg. It's from McFarland Books, and you can order it from McFarland or Amazon. It has a wealth of info on the Creature, including overviews and inside info on each film, but also background on the music, other underwater monster films, and the Creature films that were never made. It would be a great addition to anyone's library.That's it for us! As the late, great Julie Adams used to say, Stay out of dark water!Hit us up in the comments section or at these other spots:Twitter: https://twitter.com/Planet8CastFacebook: www.Facebook.com/Planet8PodcastThanks for Listening!

While the Universal Monsters may have been the original film fiends, across the pond in the 50s, 60s, and 70s, the little film company that could, Hammer, produced a bevy of movies that featured our familiar monsters, but in a much more graphic way. These films, featuring such sensational stars as Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing, brought an updated take on horror to a new generation of fans.Your Planet 8 crew is joined by guests horror host extraordinaire Lord Blood-Rah and independent film-maker Tom Wyrsch to reminisce and discuss why we enjoy Hammer films so much. The studio had a very distinct style which is immediately recognizable, and there are certain things you can expect to see in a Hammer horror film - including bright red blood, and more than a little cleavage. We talk about which films are our favorites (and surprise, we all had different picks!), the actors and actresses we enjoyed, and some of the behind the scenes production stories. We'll also discuss the upcoming Creatures Con, the San Francisco Bay Area's classic horror convention.  Held on July 7th, it will feature the west coast premiere of the film, The House of the Gorgon by Josh Kennedy, a film that is very much an homage to Hammer films, and features Hammer film veterans Caroline Munro, Martine Beswick, and Veronica Carlson - Kennedy and Carlson will be at the show! The con will also have a monster movie quiz hosted by Lord Blood-Rah, which is certain to be a blast! They'll also have a special presentation on the film Plan 9 from Outer Space, to celebrate its 65th anniversary. All happening at the San Ramon Marriott -and the entire Planet 8 crew will be there, podcasting live! All this, for only $15 admission! What a bargain!  Go to https://www.creaturescon.com/ for more information.Don't forget to take a look at Lord Blood-Rah's Nerve Wrackin' Theatre for some fine entertainment. As always, we look forward to hearing your thoughts, so please share either here or at:Twitter: https://twitter.com/Planet8CastFacebook: www.Facebook.com/Planet8PodcastThanks for Listening!

Shel Horowitz is an author, international speaker, columnist, and marketing consultant. He believes that businesses can succeed by embracing principles of honesty, integrity, and environmental responsibility. The first of his books on marketing was published in 1985, and since then he has written several other award-winning books and hundreds of articles on marketing. His focus has been primarily on ethical, green, and frugal marketing. Stressing values-based, big-picture marketing that tends to be less expensive than traditional approaches, he develops marketing methods and materials based in such guerrilla marketing techniques as forming partnerships, attracting media publicity, and using social media effectively. Shel was still a teenager when he started doing publicity and marketing for grassroots environmental and community organizations with zero promotional budget. There wasn’t even money available for stamps, so he hand-delivered press releases on a three-speed bicycle. Trained as a journalist, he first became aware of the power of the news media when a local paper refused to print meeting notices he wrote for a controversial group—but gave extensive news coverage to its refusal. Now, for over thirty years, he’s helped businesses, nonprofits, and community groups identify their key message and get it out to the public with little or no expenditure. He has been quoted or cited in over 70 books, and blogs at GreenAndProfitable.com. His eighth book, Guerrilla Marketing Goes Green: Winning Strategies to Improve Your Profits and Your Planet, was #1 Environmental category bestseller on Amazon, and has made the category bestseller list at least 30 times.
