Hosted by Steve Broxterman and John Bujak of Mongoose Blue, this podcast is for contractors, tradespeople, and home service pros who’d rather be swinging a hammer than decoding marketing jargon. We break down real strategies — websites, videos, social media, and more — with just the right amount of sarcasm, sawdust, and smart advice. No fluff. No gurus. Just the stuff that actually works (and maybe a few dad jokes).

On the frontier of charted space, a ragtag crew of spacefarers gets the chance to start over and fix their lives, but only if they accept a dangerous mission that could avert a war—or start one. First published in 1977, Traveller is a science fiction RPG in the vein of The Expanse or Battlestar Galactica. Most who played the original game back in the day remember the robust character creation system where if you push too far and get unlucky with the dice, you can die before you even start pl ...

Looking at animals from a purely Kandyan perspective, in the beginning were not early life form sponges, or even aardvarks – but mongooses. For it was, according to the best of legends, mongooses who were responsible for Kandy being built where it was. The city’s earliest history is an impossible mosaic of hearsay, myth, the odd inscription, and la…

Sri Lanka, like ancient Rome, has strict - albeit invisible - notions of caste and class. And class, not being exclusively human, is no less apparent within its smaller mammalian world – its rodents, and rodent-like cousins: its rats, shrews, mice, and squirrels. If the island’s tiny and elite mammalian senatorial class is represented by its elepha…

It is all too easy to mistake what Sri Lankans might call the “Three Big B’s” for Mr Bandaranaike Senior, Mrs Bandaranaike Senior, and Mrs Bandaranaike Kumaratunga. But in fact, Sri Lanka’s Three Big B’s are not politicians. They are its bears, buffalo, and boars. And remarkably, each beast shares a close and initial affinity with those other, and …

Counting Sri Lanka’s wild cats is no minor feat. None of them cares to be counted, still less seen.

Europeans first encountered mermaids in Sri Lanka 500 years ago. Just a few decades after arriving, the Portuguese, under the command of Constantino of Braganza, a cousin of the King of Portugal, tiring of the relatively successful raids upon his fleet by the Kings of Jaffna, decided war was the best way forward. His expedition, in November 1560, r…

One of Kandy’s most fantastic secrets is its nature. The city sits in a valley surrounded by five central hills, up which, like an indulgent bubble bath, buildings of later regret have begun to creep. But one side of the city remains nicely protected - UdawaththaKele Forest. Once a forest hunting reserve for the kings, it is now a magical 104-hecta…

The awful thing about wickedness is just how interesting it is.

And in this respect, Sr…

Nearly seven million monkeys leap about Sri Lanka’s trees, the vast majority of them Toque Macaques. To these can be added a handful of lorises, their ancient and more wet-nosed primate relatives.

It took just three homespun goddesses - Aglaia, Euphrosyne, and Thalia - to give their ancient Mediterranean world all the perfection it needed; its charm, beauty, and creativity.

An arc of land that fans out north of Kandy connected to the ancient Anuradhapuran kings and their successors, before passing into the control of the Kandyan kingdom, whose own borders ebbed and flowed in response to European invasions.

Kipling believed that to understand a country and its history, you had to smell it. Yet the past is documented in so many other ways - in books, in architecture, in music, or even in food. In Sri Lanka, it is the temples that best hold their story. Even so, their stories, like their secrets, are often hard to capture, and harder still to comprehend…

What modest moral argument there ever is to pick out the best in anything is fatally undermined in this guide, for it presents merely my point of view.

Two hundred fifty years after the creation of the island’s first great wonder – the reservoir of Panda Wewa, the second took root - literally.
