When George Orwell Came to Stuttgart: Dr. Geoff Rodoreda (#54)

Few people know that George Orwell once walked across a small footbridge in Stuttgart and that the experience may have shaped one of the most influential dystopias ever written. In this episode of Made in Science host Wolfgang Holtkamp talks to Dr Geoff Rodoreda, literary scholar and former journalist, about Orwell's little-known three months as a war correspondent in 1945 and his visit to Stuttgart just after its “liberation”. Rodoreda explains how archival work, field trips to Paris, London and the Neckar riverbank, and even a surviving footbridge helped him reconstruct Orwell's time in Germany and why he sees echoes of these experiences in "1984". In the second half, the conversation turns to contemporary Australian and Indigenous literature, truth-telling about colonial violence, and what German students can learn from these stories about coming to terms with a difficult past.

People say there's no way Sasquatch could exist in the Land Between the Lakes. They say it's too populated. Too well-traveled. Too thoroughly explored by hunters and hikers and campers over the decades.I disagree.  And after you hear this encounter story, I'm confident you'll agree with me. In November of nineteen eighty-four, a father took his fourteen-year-old son into the backcountry of the Land Between the Lakes for a deer hunting trip. It was supposed to be a bonding experience. A chance for the boy to take his first buck. A weekend of camping and hunting in a remote stretch of wilderness that most visitors never see. What they encountered out there changed both of them forever. It started with strange sounds. Heavy footsteps in the darkness. Rocks thrown from unseen hands. Then came the screaming. Inhuman vocalizations that echoed through the forest from multiple directions at once. Wood knocks that circled their camp throughout the night. The unmistakable signs of something intelligent, something powerful, something that wanted them to know they weren't alone.On the final morning, the boy made a clean shot on a beautiful ten-point buck. But before he could reach his kill, something emerged from the undergrowth. Something massive. Something that walked on two legs and stood over eight feet tall. Something that looked at him with eyes that held unmistakable intelligence.And then it took his deer.The father passed away in March of twenty twenty-four. Now his son is the only living witness to what happened during that terrifying weekend forty years ago. He made a promise to his father in that hospital room. A promise to finally tell the full story.This is that story. One hundred and seventy thousand acres of uninterrupted forest. Two hunters who ventured too deep into the backcountry. And the creatures that let them leave alive.Some places in this world belong to something other than us. The Land Between the Lakes might be one of them.

There are two ways to control a nation. One is through fear — the boot of tyranny, the ever-watchful eye of Big Brother. The other is through faith — the promise of divine order, the sanctified chains of Gilead. George Orwell with ‘1984' and Margaret Atwood with ‘The Handmaid's Tale' warned us about both, all we had to do was listen. And yet, somehow, here we are. A government that seeks to control thought and faith, morality and memory, is no longer a warning — it's the nightly news.“And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:32 (KJB)On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, the question is no longer “Could it happen here?” The question is: Has it already begun? I will let you be the judge of that, but let's play a little game first, OK? If I showed you an article from 2012 about then-president Barack Obama ordering a federal agency to drag hundreds of American citizens out of their homes, beat them, tase them, arrest them and hold them without bail or a lawyer, would you think that was a good thing or a bad thing? Wait, don't answer yet. Second question – if I showed you where the DOJ was censoring people on social media, would you think that was a good thing or a bad thing? Wait, one more question. If I showed you a Democrat administration taking control of the IRS to use it as a weapon to pursue people they consider to be their enemies, would you support that? Of course you wouldn't. You might tell me you believe in freedom and justice, which is why you voted for Trump. But what if I told you that in all 3 of those instances I just gave you, the Trump administration was the one actually doing those things? You can read about it here, here and here. Fear and faith are powerful weapons, and on this episode we show you how they are being used to hijack a nation.

Halloween watchlist essential! We sink our claws into one of the most iconic horror films ever made: Wes Craven's 1984 classic A Nightmare on Elm Street. Hosts Henrique Couto and Rachael Redolfi revisit Freddy Krueger's terrifying debut, exploring how this razor-fingered dream stalker redefined the slasher genre and haunted a generation of horror fans.Inside this episode, Henrique and Rachael share their first encounters with the film—late-night VHS terrors and the exhilaration of discovering horror's most surreal monster. They break down:The legacy of Wes Craven — how his unique vision fused nightmares and reality.Freddy Krueger's origins — a vengeful ghost, a product of parental sins, and an enduring cultural boogeyman.Themes of fear and adolescence — how suburban safety hides lurking generational trauma.Dream sequences & surreal imagery — why they still feel terrifying decades later.The franchise's evolution — from Freddy's pure horror roots to his shift into dark comedy across sequels.Whether you first saw it huddled at a sleepover or discovered it on late-night TV, A Nightmare on Elm Street still cuts to the bone.

Summer, 1984—at the height of the Satanic Panic. Ricky is a motor-mouthed teen who wants proof the Devil is listening. In a moonlit patch of woods, a dare turns into a ritual and a killing. What follows is darker: Ricky props the body in a lawn chair with sunglasses, invites classmates to look, and turns terror into spectacle—boombox hissing, insects buzzing, and bravado curdling into dread as word spreads and the cops close in.This isn't a true-crime retelling; it's a brutal horror story steeped in Acid King folklore—teen cult swagger, drugs, and a swaggering kid convinced he's owed infernal fame. The consequences arrive in handcuffs and, at the end, a quiet, awful moment alone in a jail cell. Listener discretion advised for graphic violence, drug use, and suicide.What Ricky Did on his Summer Vacation by Dan Wilder

In "Step 88: Rorty's Solidarity," the concluding episode of our three-part series on Richard Rorty's Contingency, Irony, and Solidarity (1989), host Ryder Richards explores Part III, Chapters 7–9, where Rorty tackles cruelty and solidarity. Rorty argues that solidarity isn't a universal human essence but a contingent creation, forged through imaginative identification with others' pain via narratives like novels. We delve into vivid examples: Nabokov's Lolita and its “tingles” of aesthetic bliss, which reveal cruelty through inattention and inspire moral empathy; Orwell's 1984, where O'Brien's intelligent cruelty underscores the fragility of liberal hope; and Sellars' “we-intentions,” showing how solidarity expands “us” through shared stories, not abstract truths.Rorty's appeal lies in his witty, pragmatic blend of literary insight and moral hope, empowering us to craft kinder worlds without metaphysical crutches. Yet, Ryder remains skeptical, critiquing how Rorty's vision has materialized but been subverted in 2025. While his liberal ironist thrives in self-creation and anti-cruelty movements, mimetic identities—adopting others' vocabularies for social gain—and weaponized solidarity, where anti-cruelty fuels division, distort his utopia. This episode traces Rorty's narrative-driven philosophy from language and selfhood to community, urging listeners to question vocabularies while imagining a broader “we.” Join us for a compelling finale to this philosophical journey, available on LetUsThinkAboutIt. 0:00 Intro 2:23 Noticing Cruelty through Narrative: Nabokov 7:18 Fragility of Liberal Hope: Orwell 11:50 Creating Solidarity: Sellars 15:48 Rorty's Legacy: subversion and capture 20:28 Outro

SEASON 3 EPISODE 120: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: We’ve all known it would come to this; we’ve all WARNED it would come to this; we’ve all PREDICTED they’d try to ease the knife in slowly, they’d take the boiling frog route, and here it comes. It’s in every piece of political science fiction from "1984" to "Brazil" to "V For Vendetta." And it is now real: if everything Trump does deserves criticism and gets criticism there is only one thing for Trump and his gang to do: prosecute criticism of Trump and claim those WHO criticize him are aiding and abetting terrorists. The ultimate Thought Crime was given voice by no less a figure than Trump's Counterterrorism Director, who, since Trump found the worst possible person to do each job (and bin Laden is dead) is Sebastian Gorka. The threat is connected to the push to send not just immigrants to rot in a For-Profit El Salvador Rendition Center, but American citizens too, especially those who standup to Trump's attempt to purge Hispanics from this country. Axios reports that one of the other potential new Orwellian crimes would be advising detainees of their rights. If that's not directed at AOC I don't know what could be. B-Block (25:20) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Derrick Van Orden attacks Wisconsin's governor because Van Orden thinks Milwaukee kids are stupid - and he misspells the word "how" in his post. Brian Kilmeade's Hegseth spoiler alert: he calls him "former secretary." And we are all very proud here that one of 'our own' has reduced Bill Maher to graffiti. Further details on "My Dinner With Adolf." C-Block (37:45) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: I had literally forgotten - until I literally worked through the neighborhood - that I made my Broadway singing and dancing debut seven years ago. I mean literally, on stage, during an actual Broadway show. If it made that much of an impression on me, imagine how bored the audience was! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

SEASON 3 EPISODE 119: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: Senator Lisa Murkowski may be the most important person in the country right now. Her public confession that she too is afraid of the Trump nightmare and her HINTS at talking to Senate colleagues ABOUT her fear – could provide just enough Republican rebellion to rein Trump in. It feels as if she just got it, as if she just understood that yes Trump is Nazi-esque and yes Trump often emulates the Soviets but the closest parallel to him is O'Brien and "The Party" in Orwell's "1984" and the simple terrifying conviction that "the object of power is power." That's why I think when Kristi Garden Noem and Secretary of Defense (and Vodka) Hegseth (if he's still on the job after ANOTHER Signal chat came to light) file their report on the border to Trump this week and tell him no, they don't need to invoke The Insurrection Act, he may do it anyway because... the object of power is power. Murkowski and thirteen other Republican Senators and at most four Republican Representatives can stop this. They can save the country. They can impeach Trump or if they still can’t get over the hump, the 18 of you can use the THREAT to impeach him, to virtually fetter him, to at least control the width and breadth of his damage, to make him know the Senate WILL vote against him. She can also talk to anybody on the Supreme Court except Alito or Thomas. The other seven, in the middle of the damn night - at 1 AM Saturday - stepped in to freeze any further disappearing Americans under the phony premise of The Alien Enemies Act. And there is reason to hope that these Murkowski-led conversations might happen before the iron curtain of dictatorship descends: Later in her confession of fear, she hinted at doing exactly what I just suggested. Meanwhile, how many times can you self-destruct on this? Gavin Newsom dismisses the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case as a "distraction" and calls Democrats sheep for defending the constitution. On the other hand, Senator Ed Markey is crafting a sense of the senate resolution stating Trump cannot again be elected, and cannot again serve, as president or vice president. Damn Straight. B-Block (40:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: The Musk Crappertruck Owner who claims to also be a "girl dad"; Pennsylvania congressman Dan Meuser kinda blames Governor Josh Shapiro's criticizing Trump for provoking the attempt to incinerate him and his family in the governor's mansion on Passover. And Trump DEI hire Pam Bondi lies that compulsive martyr and 85th Place Olympic Trials finisher Riley Gaines "went to the Olympics." Not unless she bought a ticket, Pam Blondie. C-Block (55:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: The renewed Trump bid to ban the Associated Press got me talking to a friend: How MANY times have I been banned, as a reporter? Do you mean this century, or in total? It's... a lot. From the LA Clippers to the ESPN Campus, I've been banned... a lot. And je ne regret rien!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
