Podcasts are quickly becoming a new way to share ideas and information, and we felt it was time to bring what we have to the table. Having taken an unconventional approach to life, we have experienced so many amazing moments, and we want to share these stories and our reflections on them with all of you. We are constantly researching topics that have helped us to open our minds and understand the world in a unique way. We plan on featuring interesting people letting us take a journey into their lives, delving into things like psychedelic adventures, relationships, spirituality, addiction and more. We want to create a community where you can go to take a break from the daily grind and at the same time experiencing new stories & ideas. We want to keep it interesting and tap into a range of different emotions. Some episodes will be non stop laughs, while others will take you deep. These stories will take you through experiences that will keep you intrigued, and at times on the edge of your seat. One topic the new season will touch a lot on is what we call war stories. These are stories from ex drug addicts who have been through some crazy things. I have heard some of the craziest stories I’ve ever experienced when I’ve got to swapping “War Stories” with someone. I want to share these with you as I believe there is a lot to learn from them & they are also extremely captivating. So join us as we take a journey through a side of society that a lot of people are embarassed to talk about.

This time in an improved sphere and both of them are going to travel together. A new member is introduced to the team, Debbie Gill. Debbie takes over David’s role, predicting the location of the black holes. The trip does not go according to plan, but oh no, don’t look to me to spill the beans as to what happens, you just have to listen to the story to find out. Oh here’s a teaser then, this is not just the one story, this time you get double the value, as it is two stories wrapped up in one book. This one runs into 32 chapters and our test audience just couldn’t wait for the next installments to hit their players. In fact they are so keen they already want the next book!

Before she met Nicholas, all Emily cared about was shopping, and she believed her teachers when they told her the vampires had made the world a better place. After falling in love at first sight, Emily’s mind was opened to the harsh realities brought about by the worldwide alliances between vampires and humanity at every level of society. Nicholas was leading the charge in the fight against injustice, cruelty, slavery, and tyranny by the elder vampires, and Emily found herself suddenly caught up in a movement that stood for the rights of both humanity and a new generation of vampires who’d been tricked into giving up their natural rights. Doing everything she can for the cause comes second only to following her heart as Emily tries to win the affections of a young man whose first priority is saving the world. She follows Nicholas back and forth across the country, into the heart of the nation’s vampire-run Capitol, and beyond. She risks her health, sticks out her neck, sacrifices friendship, and puts her life on the line in the name of love. Will her efforts be enough? Will she win Nicholas’ heart? Can they save the world? Or will the schemes of the elder vampires put a stop to it all? Emily is one of two books in the duology Never Let the Right One Go, which shows two apparently conflicting views of the same supernatural world by looking through the eyes of two very different teenage girls in their pursuit of love. Don’t miss Sophia, the other half of the picture, and a completely contrary take on everything you think you know.

In Season 2 of the series we will share a new collection of surprising and unusual stories from the history of science. In each episode we will feature two seemingly unrelated stories from the past. Then, Dan Riskin will connect the dots between those stories and offer insight into how that history impacts modern medical research. We are learning from the past so we can understand the present, and inform the future. Along the way we will learn how a professor at Stanford turned mild mannered young men into cruel vicious prison guards, and how the Irish Potato Famine really had nothing to do with potatoes. We will ask questions such as: “Did we learn the wrong lesson from the sinking of the Titanic?” “How many people did Orson Wells actually fool?” and “What exactly is Maple Syrup Urine Disease?” In these ten episodes we will also follow along with SciMar as they take their breakthrough science into the testing phase. Will the things they discovered in a row of test tubes in the lab be repeatable in real people? And will that prove to be the final cure for type 2 diabetes? So, if you are intrigued by science, get excited about the process of discovery, and want to have the best stories at your next dinner party, this is the show for you. We promise a season full of guinea pigs, Corona beer, shipwrecks, and cobras. — The series is produced by SciMar, a medical research company developing a new way to detect, treat and cure type 2 diabetes. Rather than insulin from the pancreas, they are focused on hepatalin, a hormone that comes from the liver. We will use historical stories to shine a light on where this modern company is headed.

This is it! The SHOCKING CONCLUSION to the VATICAN ASSASSIN TRILOGY! Bernard Campion, “BC”, has been an Assassin for the Pope – The Vatican’s Ambassador to Lunar Prime – CEO of The Project – Head of the UTZ Council – and now he’s the Pope of the New catholic Church, the NcC. But the mantle sits uneasily on BC. The Universal Trade Zone (UTZ) and The Universal Islamic Nation (UIN) are now forced to work together in the face of dual threats: The alien race, The Eldred and the recently revived survivor of the race known as the Ancient Enemy – Dolomay. Can BC remain Pope and still lead the battle against The Eldred and Dolomay? Can humanity come together to face those who would enslave them… or worse? It all comes to a head. There will be war… but who will be fighting who? Find out the answers – in VATICAN ABDICATOR!

Mathematical Philosophy – the application of logical and mathematical methods in philosophy – is about to experience a tremendous boom in various areas of philosophy. At the new Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy, which is funded mostly by the German Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, philosophical research will be carried out mathematically, that is, by means of methods that are very close to those used by the scientists. The purpose of doing philosophy in this way is not to reduce philosophy to mathematics or to natural science in any sense; rather mathematics is applied in order to derive philosophical conclusions from philosophical assumptions, just as in physics mathematical methods are used to derive physical predictions from physical laws. Nor is the idea of mathematical philosophy to dismiss any of the ancient questions of philosophy as irrelevant or senseless: although modern mathematical philosophy owes a lot to the heritage of the Vienna and Berlin Circles of Logical Empiricism, unlike the Logical Empiricists most mathematical philosophers today are driven by the same traditional questions about truth, knowledge, rationality, the nature of objects, morality, and the like, which were driving the classical philosophers, and no area of traditional philosophy is taken to be intrinsically misguided or confused anymore. It is just that some of the traditional questions of philosophy can be made much clearer and much more precise in logical-mathematical terms, for some of these questions answers can be given by means of mathematical proofs or models, and on this basis new and more concrete philosophical questions emerge. This may then lead to philosophical progress, and ultimately that is the goal of the Center.
