27 APR 2024 · It's almost midnight right now, but I just realized that tomorrow, April 27th, is the feast of St. Peter Armengol. I've literally been waiting for years to tell his story on the podcast and launch it right on his feastday, so I quickly found a mic and recorded this in some random room. He's truly one of my favorite saints because he is a symbol of confidence in Our Lady. Here's the other podcast I was talking about: https://youtu.be/-Bp57cBOIPs

27 FEB 2024 · An excellent mystery story by Anna Katherine Green. One of the biggest plot twists I've ever read at the end - a complete genre change. This is the abridged version.

27 FEB 2024 · Caledonian Forest 120 AD " Written by Titus Ursus, Primus pilus of Legiō IX Hispana, in the third year of Hadrian's reign (* 120 AD). This will probably be the last papyrus and entry in my diary. Our legion was ambushed in the wild realm called Caledonian Forest and was almost completely annihilated. Half of my first cohort is all that was left of the IX legiō. We were pushed into the marsh and we will probably die here, fighting bravely to the end in the name of Rome and the Emperor. We were attacked by a demonic pack of the barbaric Picts. They looked more like wild beasts than humans. Some of them were dressed in animal furs, painted with strange runic signs... others seemed to be two-legged wild beasts. They tore us apart as if we were made of paper! I saw our legatus and my brothers in arms being eaten alive, I will never forget their screams. The barbarians attacked us unnoticed, quickly and with wild fury, then disappeared in the fog. Mainly at night. Our shields, swords and armor were no use here. The enemy we face seems to be the ancient wrath of some dark gods we have awakened. We should never invade these lands. I hear demonic howls, they're coming! They're coming! " Scrap of the papyrus written by Centurion Titus Ursus. Found in October 120AD in the Caledonian Forest. Taken to Rome, where it was presented to the emperor and then burned. Two years later, Emperor Hadrian ordered the construction of a wall on the border of the land called Caledonia, in north Britannia. A story and illustration by Jakub Rozalski ~Marcius

12 DEC 2023 · This true story revolves around the Nazi invasion of Norway and $9 million worth of gold bullion, which must be protected from the invaders at all costs — it has to be shipped to America for safe keeping. In fact, the crafty Norwegian resistance managed to smuggle out every gold brick on the ship “Bomma,” which safely docked in Baltimore on June 28, 1940. When the police escort to the bank asked the captain how they managed to pull it off, he said that Norwegian children had transported the gold bars hidden on their sleds, right under the noses of the German sentries and buried them in the snow on the beach. These dropsites were marked by a snowman to be picked up by the crew of the Bomma the next day.

10 OCT 2023 · I’m not very happy with the way this story ends, but I’m enthralled with the ingenious story structure and attention to detail in description. It’s so well done, that as I read, I can almost smell the Fall and see the full moon over the church that they visit in the story. It’s the perfect time of year to read it and I hope you enjoy the ride, because it’s been in the back of my head during all the years I’ve run this podcast. I only like it because it reminds me of the statues of knights that I saw in Europe.
