Jean Cocteau Cinema — Q&A (feat. George R.R. Martin and Maisie Williams)
— Travis (TravisoTraviso) talks with Brian (Ikswarum) about his recent trip to George R. R. Martin's Jean Cocteau Cinema (in Santa Fe) for an exclusive screening of GAME OF THRONES. He also plays clips from a Q&A session between George and Maisie Williams (who plays Arya Stark in the show).
Hear about Maisie’s dream role, what she learned most during filming, and her thoughts on which character has most influenced her. George shares the experience that inspired Tyrion’s loss of nose, and stick around for the after show, where Travis and Brian stumble through understanding the “Pop Vinyl” figures.

Friday FARcast: JFK Assassination 50 Years Under A Coup - 11/22/2013
Fifty-years-ago today, John Fitzgerald Kennedy was gunned down in Dallas. In the ensuing decades, the United States and the world has undergone massive change. Conveniently, Lee Harvey Oswald never made it to trial and the Warren Commission, which was formed to investigate the president's death confirmed that the angry socialist acted alone. However, they would not allowed their findings to be released for another fifty years, adding more speculation that they were hiding something, a star chamber presiding over a cover-up, a conspiracy of the highest order.
On today's show, I'll be joined by my friend, artist, musician and reseasrcher, Dwight Looop. Loop was deeply affected by the Kennedy assasination as an eleven-year-old and has dedicated large chunks of time and attention to understand what really happened in Dallas on 11/22/63.
Loop, John David Brownlow and Dean Balsamo will be presenting The JFK Assassination, 50 Years Under A Coup at the Jean Cocteau Cinema, in Santa Fe. Dwight and I will explore some of the theories behind the assassination and what's taken place in the void and aftermath of that timeline altering day.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
I cannot teach anybody anything, I can only make them think.
