MARK TWAIN--An overview of Ron Chernow's 2025 Biography

Ron Chernow (author of "Hamilton") is back with a GIANT biography of my favorite writer of all time. I just finished it, and give my impressions.

The Big Beautiful Bomb

Not a real episode per se. Just some nihilistic rumination which . . . actually is normal. Never mind.

"Sherri Papini: Caught in the Lie." An Overview

Sherri Papini is featured in a new documentary--""Caught in the Lie." I examine a few points that stand out to me. I make no argument for or against it, for the most part, and claim no comprehensive review here. I extend an invitation for her to come on my podcast: Boxnumberseven@yahoo.com NOTE: picture generated by me using Chat GPT for concept.

God Only Knew about Brian Wilson

I took a few minutes to discuss my admiration for, and cast an empathetic sendoff for an actual genius.

Isaac Newton: Scientist, Theologian and Heretic

What you may not know is—Isaac Newton was one part scientist, and two parts theologian—and not only didn’t refrain from any perceived overlap, but always stated that the prior would always vindicate the essential core of the latter—that all planetary motions, ellipses, and core issues of matter and light proceeded from something far more omnipotent. He would go on to write a commentary on the book of Daniel, examining Old testament prophecies, and then follow it with a commentary on Revelation.

Bonus thoughts--Did you ever wonder?

Just a note of thanks for your listenership and a couple of observations.

Twenty-One Pilots, Utah, and the Donner Party

The Donner Party are a group of people that, quite simplistically, got stranded while emigrating west. And all because of an error-ridden travel book written by a rogue opportunist who wanted to flood California with western - bound emigrants. What does this have to do with Twenty-One Pilots? Believe it or not, a lot.

Riding The Luggage Rack With Luke Van Mol

I recently sat down with Luke Van Mol, of Mighty Men of Valor Studios, to discuss the making of, proceeds for and hopes for distribution for their 2024, faith-based romantic comedy, Miracle Mile. Luke is the first "across the table" guests I've had, so anything I might have missed in terms of intellectual or professional curiosity comes down to my own two green, podcasting thumbs.

Who Stole Kennedy's Brain?

When President John F. Kennedy was killed in November 19 63, his body was taken to a hospital in Dallas. It was quickly commandeered by the Secret Service and by nightfall, his body was already back in Washington at Bethesda Naval Medical Center under the eyeballs of military doctors to conduct an autopsy. Kennedy‘s brain was removed and put to the side in a metal canister. Shortly after that, it was gone and really never found again. The interesting thing is, is it stolen body parts from famous dead people has been a cottage industry since time in memorial--and sometimes, the stolen object is equally surprising--and appalling.
