The Loch Ness Monster

The Loch Ness Monster (also known as Nessie) is a cryptid that is said to inhabit Loch Ness, a large freshwater lake in Scotland. The first recorded sighting of the monster was in 565 AD, by Saint Columba, a missionary from Ireland.
Sightings of the monster continued throughout the centuries, but it was not until 1933 that the creature became a global sensation. In that year, a newspaper published a photograph of a large creature with a long neck and humped back, emerging from the waters of Loch Ness.
The photograph, known as the "Surgeon's Photograph," sparked a frenzy of public interest in the monster. People from all over the world came to Loch Ness in the hope of seeing the creature for themselves. Over the years, there have been many other sightings of the monster, but none of them have been conclusive. Some people believe that the monster is a real creature, while others believe that it is a hoax. Current Circumstances Today, the Loch Ness Monster remains one of the world's most famous cryptids. People from all over the world still come to Loch Ness in the hope of seeing the creature for themselves. There have been a number of scientific expeditions to Loch Ness in search of the monster, but none of them have been successful. However, the possibility that the monster exists still fascinates people around the world. Thanks for listening to Quiet Please. Remember to like and share wherever you get your podcasts.

Episode 44 - Michael's story. A service user perspective on Scottish mental health services

Michael joins Vincenzo to talk about his experience of mental health services in Scotland, over time. We discuss how services, by understanding suffering as a risk, end up caring mostly about dangerousness. This means that those in crisis are often met with a repressive approach, and those who are not considered dangerous are often met with a neglectful approach.

Halloween Origins

Halloween is a holiday celebrated annually on October 31, in which costumes are worn and children trick-or-treat. The now commercialized tradition originated with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, when people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off ghosts. This episode will look into the origins and history of Halloween and how they came to be.

The Vast Landscape of Poison Narratives - (Pt. 1)

Alternate Current Radio Presents: BOILER ROOM - Learn to protect yourself from predatory mass media!

On Part 1 of this April 14th, 2022 edition of BOILER ROOM, Hesher and Spore gather a might brain trust meeting of the Social Rejects Club for a cacophony of news'n and media analysis. Spore kicks off with a story out of Scotland concerning service animals like horses and seeing eye dogs being unable to navigate safely around "rainbow crosswalks" that have been installed by the city, ostensibly to show how much the city loves diversity in what people do with their genitals. Is one minority group's sense of validation for what they do in their private lives more important than other groups of minorities such as the visually/physically impaired who face physical danger if their service animals can not safely navigate the virtuous crosswalks? Some updates from Mark Anderson about "fifteen minute cities." As western governments push towards forcing electric cars and so-called 'green' and 'renewable power' onto western nations in the great reset the Boiler Room examines the downsides and the lies involved with these plans. And some more new gaffes from Sleepy Joe Biden!

Episode. 4 "Statto ! Statto ! Statto !"

So weâve reached the last eight of Euro 2020 and the boys are still going strong. Thereâs no knocking out these lads in the heat of Baku.

Yes, Jason âWine Gumâ Trinder, Andy âNo Socksâ Gorman and Jason âStatsâ Mohammad are back for a bumper edition of ABITABLUE EuroTrashed.

Thereâs no special guest (contractual issues) so the lads fill airtime with incessant bickering, football banter, useless stats and arguments over Wine Gums.

So kick back, relax and settle down to Andyâs assessment of where it all went wrong for Wales, JTâs defence of yet another Euro goalkeeping blunder and JMoâs obsession with stats - which sadly resulted in him getting punched in the face by Trinder!

Thereâs also a guest appearance from the studio cleaner. So put the duster down and add some sparkle to your podcast world.

âGermLandâ

The boys are back for more Euro 2020 fun and games after a crazy night of football and curries.

Former goalkeeper now Ron Burgundy-style presenter Jason Trinder makes up countries, former Cardiff City Pasty Collector Andy Gorman talks Wales v Denmark (and attempts to fix the next podcast competition!) Meanwhile, Jason Mohammad "The Crown Green King" talks about his surprising love of lawn bowls.

The lads talk about the final round of matches, their big night in front of the telly with a curry, look ahead to the last 16, ask questions of Englandâs second-half performances and say goodbye to Steve Clarkeâs Scotland.

This weekâs special guest is former Everton and England midfielder Leon Osman who talks about the Toffees, Walesâ chances of making the last eight and his favourite goal.

Thereâs the second winner of our Sock Council competition and the usual laughs and jokes.
