Mysterious Melodies
Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 1:21:57 — 47.2MB) | Embed
Music has the power to enchant, stir emotions, calm the spirit, and heal. This month we take a look at two episodes that use the power of music to explore the impact of music. In season 3, “A Piano in the House” takes a look at the sides of our humanity that we all try to hide, by using music to expose those hidden faces. In season 5, “Come Wander With Me” is a somewhat disjointed story that still leaves us enchanted and mesmerized by Mary Rachel and her melody.

Hey there, Strangers! Many of you have sent us written or audio feedback during this very long off season, and we’re back to share your thoughts with the community. We tried to keep things a little extra casual in this episode as we go through all of the feedback submissions, and we also give a few podcast updates along the way. We kick things off with some news items about Millie’s wedding and latest movie project, as well as some news about Finn’s upcoming SNL movie project.

Hitting the wall is an expression typically applied to athletes, or more specifically, runners. When a runner “hits the wall,” they experience an intense and abrupt state of exhaustion, where the body essentially runs out of fuel. This typically occurs during long-distance events, like marathons, around the 18 to 20-mile mark. Runners describe it as an almost instantaneous shift from feeling strong and capable to feeling as if they can barely move.
585- I Have More Stuff to Say
Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 14:49 — 14.0MB) | Embed
When we feel a calling yearning within us, we should listen to what it is saying and ponder how we should respond. In my case, when I listened to the voices of all those around me, those voices all confirmed what my inner voice was telling me to do. We should also take immediate action before that excitement and vigor have a chance to subside. Making goals and setting timelines are great ways to leverage the momentum of an exciting idea.

Dimensions in Space

Alternate dimensions and parallel worlds is not something The Twilight Zone was afraid to explore, and this month we take a look at two excellent examples of this type of storytelling. Season 3 “Little Girl Lost” explores a scenario where a young girl named Tina slips into the fourth dimension via a portal that opens up in her bedroom wall. The following season in “The Parallel” we see astronaut Robert Gaines transported to a parallel earth where he has a slightly different family in a slightly different house and JFK is unknown.
