E.C. Kraus - "Maverick: A Boy, His Crew, & a Dog" | COVEpod 52

Sat, 29 Aug 2026 15:00:00 -0700

Author E.C. Kraus (Liz Kraus) joins Paul to talk about the unexpected path that led her to writing Maverick: A Boy, His Crew, and a Dog.

From changing careers and returning to college in her forties to years spent teaching and giving back to students, Liz shares a story of reinvention, purpose, and following a creative calling later in life. It’s a warm conversation about writing, education, generosity — and the idea that it’s never too late to start a new chapter.

Near Death Experience - Re-visiting "The Portal" w/ Krishnanand | COVEpod 43

Tue, 23 Jul 2024 07:00:00 -0700

In this episode of the Carganilla Online Variety Entertainment Podcast, host Paul Carganilla welcomes Krishnanand Spackey back into the COVE to continue the conversation about his incredible true story of survival and mysticism.

Krishnanand catapulted to the ‘other side’ when he was hit in the face by a full-sized SUV. Serendipity and miracles kept him alive in the street that day, as he was yanked from the clutches of death. While he remained in a Stage 3 Glasgow coma for nine days, he remained fully conscious in a celestial dimension he now calls "The Portal".

He awoke without an identity, having no recall of his name, his partner of 11 years, or his 20 year old son. Krishnanand’s traumatic brain injury and near-death experience persisted for over nine years. The only thing that sustained him was his ability to connect—at will—to The Portal dimension where he receives guidance from akashic-agents (angels) of destiny.

Drop in on host Paul's conversation with Krishnanand as they explore the wisdom Krishnanand gained from these experiences to help others through his books, services, and counseling. What's more, he passionately lives out his mission to assist others in achieving spiritual bliss and overcoming life's challenges.

Producer Craig Jackman wraps up the episode with a poignant discussion around the poem, "On Death's Door" by Riku Sarashiki on AllPoetry.com.

Titanic Historical Society: Official Historian | Author of "Titanic - An Illustrated History" & "Ghosts of the Abyss" | James Cameron's Historian, Submersible-Mate, & 1997 Titanic Movie Cast Member | Really-Awesome Guy : DON LYNCH

As the Titanic's legacy continues to captivate hearts and minds over a century later, we have the honor of hosting Don Lynch, a historian with an unrivaled dedication to preserving the ship's story and its passengers' memories. Embarking from the shores of finance and sailing into the deep waters of historical research, Don shares the currents of his life that steered him toward becoming a cornerstone of the Titanic community. Our voyage takes a spectacular turn as we revisit the grandeur of James Cameron's "Titanic," a film where Don's expertise was instrumental in crafting an authentic portrayal of the bygone era. Imagine the awe of stepping onto the meticulously recreated sets in Mexico, feeling the texture of the past beneath your feet, and even appearing as an extra among the actors donning period costumes. Through Don's eyes, we peek behind the curtain of the film's production, contrasting the palpable craftsmanship of yesteryear to the virtual landscapes of contemporary cinema. It's a journey through time, evoking nostalgia for a world that once was.

Finally, as the echoes of history reverberate through our conversation, we surface the emotional depths that such tragedies cast upon our collective memory. Don takes us beneath the waves to the Titanic's final resting place, sharing the solemnity of that hallowed ground contrasted with the isolation felt during the 9/11 attacks. From societal lessons on decision-making in crisis to the maritime protocol of "women and children first," our discussion with Don Lynch is not merely a reflection on the past but a beacon, guiding us through the fog of history to glean wisdom for our own era. Join us, and let the tales of the Titanic stir your soul and challenge your perception of the indelible imprints historical events leave upon our world.

The Carganilla Online Variety Entertainment Podcast is a weekly program in which host Paul Carganilla aims to both entertain and inspire podcast listeners and YouTube viewers through a variety of offerings, including: music, poetry, storytelling, special guest interviews, travel blogs, and more...
This episode of COVE Podcast falls on the five-year anniversary of the Borderline Bar & Grill mass shooting in Thousand Oaks, California. In remembrance and honor of all victims and survivors, we will take a look back at that tragic evening, when the joyful sounds of country music and laughter were replaced with chaos and terror. Host Paul Carganilla is joined by three courageous survivors - Alexis Tait, Emily Marostica, and Kristal Lynn Konzen - who share their poignant accounts of the tragic incident and their journey of resilience and healing in its aftermath.

Their stories take us back to that night, immersing us in their world which rapidly shifted from the joy of line dancing and camaraderie to the core-shaking fear that accompanied the gunshots. Each account is a testament to human strength and the indomitable will to survive. As we reflect, Alexis, Emily, and Kristal Lynn share how they've managed to find solace and purpose in the aftermath of the tragedy, through the support of their community and mental health advocacy.

In the final segment of this episode, we remember the lives that were tragically cut short that night. We celebrate their unique sparks and continue to mourn the loss of:
Sergeant Ron Helus, Sean Adler, Cody Coffman, Blake Dingman, Jake Dunham, Alaina Housley, Daniel Manrique, Justin Meek, Telemachus Orfanos, Noel Sparks, Mark Meza, and Kristina Morisette. Join us today as we honor the memory of the victims, celebrate the resilience of survivors and family members, reflect on the power of community, and strive to spread love and light to all touched by this tragedy.

Near Death Experience - Within the Portal | Krishnanand | COVE Podcast 11

Tue, 05 Sep 2023 00:00:00 -0700

In this episode of the Carganilla Online Variety Entertainment Podcast, host Paul Carganilla dives into an incredible true story of survival and mysticism.

Krishnanand catapulted to the ‘other side’ when he was hit in the face by a full-sized SUV. Serendipity and miracles kept him alive in the street that day, as he was yanked from the clutches of death. While he remained in a Stage 3 Glasgow coma for nine days, he remained fully conscious in a celestial dimension he now calls "The Portal".

He awoke without an identity, having no recall of his name, his partner of 11 years, or his 20 year old son. Krishnanand’s traumatic brain injury and near-death experience persisted for over nine years. The only thing that sustained him was his ability to connect—at will—to The Portal dimension where he receives guidance from akashic-agents (angels) of destiny.

Drop in on host Paul's conversation with Krishnanand as they explore his extraordinary experiences. Krishnanand shares how he has used these experiences to help others through his books, services, and counseling. What's more, he passionately lives out his mission to assist others in achieving spiritual bliss and overcoming life's challenges.

Paul and Producer Craig Jackman wrap up the episode with a poignant discussion around the poem, "Endless Possibilities" by BlueRosePoet8488 on AllPoetry.com.

Classic & Classical | David Benjamin | COVE Podcast 10

Tue, 29 Aug 2023 00:00:00 -0700

Join us on a musical journey between the lines of 'classic' and 'classical'. We start off by distinguishing the two similar yet distinct terms, with a delightful detour down the lanes of classic rock - culminating in a performance of The Doors' iconic 'Riders on the Storm'.

Adding the classical element to our music exploration, we welcome David Benjamin, host of "The Pun-ano Man", the biweekly show on the Vaudacity Network. His lifelong journey with classical music began at the age of ten. David graciously shares his insights on how understanding the intricacies of music can elevate the listener's experience - insights that he applies in his unique show, where he wittily interlaces classical piano with pun-laden humor.

As we traverse further into the realm of classical music, we take a moment to appreciate the unfinished symphonies and original compositions of Franz Schubert. David Benjamin leaves us spellbound with his performance of Schubert's "Opus 94 - Moment Musicaux, Number Two" and his original composition "Prelude Number 9 in C Minor". Producer Craig Jackman delivers a poignant recitation of Matt Starking's 'Nothing Can Dim the Light Which Shines From Within', and David concludes the episode with a live improvisation in A flat major. If music be the food of love, then this episode promises to leave your heart, mind, and soul satisfied.

From the stage to the page - this is the fascinating story of Sarah Barkoff - a child actor turned celebrated author. Joining the podcast to give us a sneak peek of her new book, "Emmy Gold is Totally Extraordinary", Sarah also shares the colorful twists and turns of her life.

From her early acting days at the age of five, to her courageous choice of pursuing a more 'normal' life, Sarah shares a glimpse of her creative journey.

We discuss the power of resilience and perseverance in the realm of creative pursuits.

How about a little music, as well? Host Paul Carganilla met Sarah through her connection to his wife, Jamie.
