Summary

When film franchises hit critical mass in popularity they often start to endlessly spawn spinoff novels, cartoons, TV series and comic books. For the hardcore fan it can be a mess figuring out what in all these spinoffs counts as canon – that is, what is officially part of the franchise's larger story. Is it worth it? Does what counts as canon really matter? Perhaps Evan Adnams can tell us. After all, he's a part of the I Have Some Notes canon, until our inevitable reboot, anyway. He joins Scott and Gregg to ponder whether story canon really matters and how it affects our enjoyment of a film.

Melody Craft Ricardo Clement If I have an idea for a song or a melody I take some notes and recordings with my Smartphone to remember the idea later on. Some ideas lead into a full song - others not.Even though the recordings are meant to help myself remembering I find it interesting to publish this process of writing songs as a Podcast.Finished songs will then be uploaded to ricardoclement.com and YouTube. Westminster Alice, The by Saki (1870 - 1916) LibriVox Published five years before John Kendrick Bangs had the same idea with Alice in Blunderland, Saki, in his 1902 series of satirical articles, takes an Alice in Wonderland view of British politics, which Alice finds even stranger than events in Wonderland.In all honesty, owing to its extremely topical nature this political satire hasn't worn well, which explains why it has virtually sunk without trace. To appreciate it at all, it's really rather necessary to understand the topical references. I am no historian, least of all a political historian, but I have researched it as well as I can, and made some notes in an attempt to put the events and characters into their political context for the listener.

My hope is while you are listening to these podcasts you will be able to see a clearer picture of God and what He has done for you. Whether you are young or old, male or female, every person wants to know God cares about them. He likes to love us in a unique way that speaks to each of us individually.I used to have a small and incorrect view of God. I dealt with condemnation, shame, and guilt for many years. This also affected my self-esteem. Now that I am seeing God in a more accurate way, I have peace and joy in ways I never thought possible. I know how much God loves me and I want others to know how much God loves them.Come join me on this adventure where I will teach on a variety of
