  1. Marbles & Kites

    1 DAY AGO

    Marbles & Kites

    Tonight, we’ll read excerpts from “Healthful Sports for Boys”, written by A.R. Calhoun and published in 1882. Also known as Alfred Rochfort, born in 1844, Calhoun was an American soldier, author, journalist and critic. He served in the Union army during the U.S. Civil War. "Healthful Sports for Boys," was a guide to engaging in physical activities that promoted health and well-being. One popular game covered in the book was marbles. Calhoun likely saw the value in marbles not just as a fun pastime, but also as a way to develop hand-eye coordination, strategic thinking, and social skills. Glass marbles ultimately came into being around the middle of the 1800's, not too long before this book was written. It is believed that they were first created by glassmakers who shaped bits of leftover glass at the end of the day to take home for their children. For Calhoun, games like this wasn't just about exercise. His book emphasized the importance of sportsmanship, fair play, and the development of character. Our episode tonight offers a glimpse into the sporting world of a bygone era, reflecting the values and ideals of the time. — read by 'V' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!

    You Might Also Like: How God Works: The Science Behind Spirituality

    Introducing Near Death Experiences from How God Works: The Science Behind Spirituality. Follow the show: How God Works: The Science Behind Spirituality People have been having Near-Death Experiences (NDEs) all over the world for as long as we can look back into history. And the strange thing is… these experiences seem to have a lot in common. Why? Is it a look into the afterlife? Is it just our neurons firing in weird ways as the brain dies?  We’ll talk to psychiatrist Bruce Greyson, one of the world’s leading experts on Near-Death Experiences, about the research that led him to rethink his understanding of the nature of life, death, and the continuity of consciousness. We’ll explore the science behind how these experiences can provide comfort, heal past trauma, and even create transcendent experiences that help us make as much sense of our lives as of impending death. And we’ll also consider the bigger question of what NDEs suggest, if anything, about our understanding of reality.  Bruce Greyson, M.D. is the author of “After: A Doctor Explores What Near-Death Experiences Reveal About Life and Beyond.” Find out more about his book, and his over 45 years of experience researching NDEs, on his website.  Here are links to the recordings of people you heard talking about their NDEs throughout the episode: Sharon Stone, Dr. Mary Neal, Renee Pasarow, Cherie Aimee, Jayne Smith. Here’s a video of Dr. Gregory Shushan talking about his research on NDEs in ancient religions.  DISCLAIMER: Please note, this is an independent podcast episode not affiliated with, endorsed by, or produced in conjunction with the host podcast feed or any of its media entities.

  3. The Golden Goose

    3 DAYS AGO

    The Golden Goose

    Tonight, we’ll read the classic fairy tale “The Golden Goose”. We found this version in Katherine Pyle’s 1918 “Mother’s Nursery Tales”. “The Golden Goose” was one of many folk tales documented and published by The Brothers Grimm. Snoozecast first read this story back in 2020. Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm were German scholars who collected and published folklore during the 19th century. Their collection of tales helped preserve and popularize these stories, which were previously passed down orally through generations. While the Grimms' versions are widely known today, many of these tales have roots in much older oral traditions and exist in various forms across different cultures. In this tale, a simple and sweet man named John finds a goose with golden feathers- and it turns his whole world on its head. The story is a reminder that generosity and kindness can lead to unexpected rewards. — read by 'V' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!

    6 DAYS AGO

    Persuasion pt. 12

    Tonight, we shall read the next part to “Persuasion”, the last novel fully completed by Jane Austen, and published in 1817. The story concerns Anne Elliot, an Englishwoman whose family moves in order to lower their expenses, by renting their home to an Admiral and his wife. In the last episode, the off-season tourists to the beach town of Lyme become acquainted with Captain Wentworth’s friends, Captain and Mrs. Harville along with Captain Benwick. At a dinner party, Anne spends the evening chatting about poetry and literature with the melancholic Captain Benwick. The next day, a gentleman stranger seems captivated with Anne’s fine looks, which seemed to have regained their earlier charms amidst the fresh air and change of scene. In the last chapter, and in the coming episode, there is mention of the “cobb” that tourists visit in Lyme. The cobb is a real-life harbor wall originally constructed in ancient times to act as a breakwater to protect the ships and the town. To this day, no one knows for sure when it was originally constructed, or why it is called the Cobb. We will pick up within chapter twelve. — read by 'V' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus! Learn more about your ad choices.

  5. The Invisible Man

    13 NOV

    The Invisible Man

    Tonight, we’ll read the opening to “The Invisible Man”, a science fiction novel by H.G. Wells, published in 1897. The title of this story refers to a scientist named Griffin, whose devotion to the study of optics leads him to a remarkable breakthrough: he has invented a way to render oneself invisible. However, as Griffin eagerly tests his invention on himself, he soon realizes the consequences of his success – the inability to reverse the invisibility. This novel’s exploration of the profound implications of scientific discovery and its impact on the human condition resonated deeply with readers. "The Invisible Man" established Wells's reputation as a visionary genius who was the “father of science fiction”. — read by 'V' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!

    11 NOV

    An Old Road

    Tonight, we’ll read a chapter titled “An Old Road.” from “A Rambler’s Lease” by Bradford Torrey, published in 1892. Torrey was an American ornithologist who wrote many stories about his experiences walking through woods while bird watching.  The preface he wrote to tonight’s book is paraphrased as follows: “The writer of this little book has found so much pleasure in other men's woods and fields that he has come to look upon himself as in some sort the owner of them. Their lawful possessors will not begrudge him this feeling, he believes, nor take it amiss if he assumes, even in this public way, to hold a rambler's lease of their property. His private opinion is that the world belongs to those who enjoy it.” — read by 'N' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!

We first began Twenty Thousand Leagues in April of 2022. Cheers to you if you’ve listened along with us for the entire journey aboard the Nautilus. Each completed novel Snoozecast reads is available as a separate podcast if you’d like to listen through continuously.

In the previous episode, Captain Nemo, filled with anger and vengeance, prepares to attack a warship that has been pursuing the Nautilus. Unfurling a black flag, he reveals his intent to sink the ship, driven by past personal losses. Despite attempts to dissuade him, Nemo is resolute, seeing the warship as his oppressor. Arronax and his companions, horrified but powerless, witness the tension as the Nautilus nears the ship. Nemo’s attack is swift and destructive, sinking the vessel. Afterwards, deeply affected, Nemo retreats to his room, where he mourns his lost family, leaving the crew in silence. We will pick up within chapter 22. — read by 'N' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus! Learn more about your ad choices.
