Christmas Past, Christmas Present, and why I have no recent appreciable content

On today's podcast,I engage in the mortal error presented to any c ontecbnt maker that has nothing redeemable to say: I talk about myself. I also chronicle my odd track through the world of entertainment, and how card tricks as story-telling medium have been wonderful to me--and others. I also mention Aregentinian magician, the late Rene Lavand, and the trick that kicked off my desire to use these maligned pieces of paper to enhance my love of stories. That routine can be found here. Ricky Jay's incredible, off-broadway act is here. Want to contact me? Emaile me @ boxnumberseven @yahoo.com Also on Instagram: @boxnumberseven

Jimi Hendrix showed you the way to escape materialistic thinking. Will you take it?

This thanksgiving, I reflect on the lessons that second-degree arson can afford all of us. Jimi knew the deal. He may not have landed well, but he had a moment of clarity.

Spoilers. They Spoil Stuff

Not a lot of need for elaboration here.

Lincoln's Death Photo and the Peanut Gallery Haters

A few years ago, Discovery Channel aired a documentarians foray into the validity of a single photograph—one in which it is claimed that sometime during the morning of April 15th, 1865, Photographer Henry Ulke and his brother were granted access to an expired president and take an Ambrotype, potentially leveraging a copy as a bribe for the man guarding the bedroom—George Valentine Rutherford. I found the documentary fascinating to a fault. Equally fascinating to me is the nature of the skeptics as well. A very brief Discussion of Undiscovered: The Lost Lincoln, and the nature of skeptical voices.

The Shroud of Turin--Real, or Tomfoolery at its finest?

On this ever-exciting broadcast, we discuss the more contemporary findings about the world's most fascinating relic--the Shroud of Turin, and discuss the evidence in support of it possibly being the genuine, unadulterated, uncompromised and unparalleled evidentiary specimen to the death, burial and resurrection of Christ. Mark Twain's 1869 critique of the relic industry is cited, along with the debut of what will become a hit song by me "I'm your Nicene Man." Possibly more heat than light is given here, but the genuine research and supporting evidence is fascinating.

Austen's Pride: A discussion--live from Kaleidoscope Coffee

I have an instagram: @boxnumberseven. FOLLOW THE SHOW. Local theatrical troupe (is that the right word) performed Austen's Pride --a new musical of Pride and Prejudice. A wonderful, creative, and parallel take on the original. In this episode, I talk about the cast, crew and the local value as well as the larger role for this wonderful adaptation.

Is Paganini to Blame For Yngwie Malmsteen?

In this weeks, episode, we examine the life and career of one Nicolo Paganini--the violinist whose abilities and legendary persona remain unmatched--and also his influence on modern, neoclassical firebrand, Yngwie Malmsteen. I also evaluate a 1 to five "Satanic index rating" for the infernal influences attributed to both men. I also engage in rank foolishness. Because it's my podcast. Enjoy
