Cevin Soling - a Hole In The Head
2d ago00:59:12Tap to summarizeA Hole in the Head is a 1998 documentary film produced and executive produced by filmmaker and author Cevin Soling. Directed by Eli Kabillio, the 54-minute film examines the controversial practice of trepanation—the process of boring a hole into the human skull. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]Core Premise and HistoryThe documentary explores both the historical roots and the modern subculture surrounding voluntary trepanation. [1]Ancient Origins: The film highlights how the procedure is one of the oldest known surgical practices, utilized by ancient Egyptians, Incas, and Neolithic civilizations. [1, 2, 3]The Modern Goal: It focuses heavily on individuals in the United Kingdom, the United States, and the Netherlands who choose to perform or undergo the procedure on themselves. [1, 2]The Underlying Theory: Advocates in the film believe that removing a small piece of bone restores the "brain pulsations" lost when the skull fully hardens in adulthood. They argue this increases brain blood volume and oxygenation, leading to a permanent "high" or a permanently expanded state of consciousness. [1]Featured SubjectsThe documentary includes interviews and historical footage of prominent figures within the modern trepanation movement: [Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.
Transcribe →First Lady of Murder - Ann Rule's Life, Legacy, and the Serial Killer She Called Friend
3d ago00:55:07Tap to summarizeAnn Rule became America’s queen of true crime by doing what few writers could: stepping past headlines, police reports, and courtroom drama to ask the deeper question. Why?In First Lady of Murder, acclaimed true crime author Cathy Scott turns that same investigative eye on Rule herself, revealing the complicated, driven, fiercely human woman behind The Stranger Beside Me, Small Sacrifices, and a body of work that changed crime writing forever. Drawing on years of research, interviews, and Scott’s own friendship with Rule, this deeply reported biography traces Ann’s journey from a sheriff’s granddaughter and would-be police officer to one of the most influential crime writers of her time.But this is more than the story of a literary career. It is the story of ambition, loyalty, rivalry, heartbreak, reinvention, and the personal cost of building a public identity around the darkest acts human beings can commit. Rich with new detail and hard-won insight, First Lady of Murder offers the most intimate portrait yet of a woman millions of readers thought they knew. They did not know the whole story. Until now.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.
