Pas d'eau chaude ni de chauffage pendant une à deux semaines par mois, voire plus : C'est le quotidien de centaines de milliers d'habitants de la capitale roumaine Bucarest. Le réseau de chauffage municipal construit sous le communisme est un des plus grands au monde, mais souffre de vétusté. Les réparations traînent, sur fond de divisions des responsabilités entre la ville et le gouvernement, et sur fond également de tensions politiques. Pour les Bucarestois, qui s'apprêtent à élire leur maire dimanche 7 décembre 2025, cette question de l'accès au chauffage est essentielle. Le reportage de Marine Leduc est à écouter dans son intégralité dans le podcast Accent d'Europe.   À lire aussiRoumanie: le pro-européen Nicusor Dan remporte l'élection présidentielle

Die Hosts Manuel Fritsch und Stefan Ducksch unternehmen im spielboxcast 29 eine kleine Zeitreise. 1995 wurde in Frankreich von ein paar Spielebegeisterten der Verlag Asmodée gegründet. Heute ist er – mittlerweile ohne den Accent – eines der weltweit führenden Unternehmen für Brett- und Kartenspiele, das in über 20 Ländern operiert. Udo Fischer, Geschäftsführer von Asmodee Deutschland, nimmt als Gesprächspartner in dieser Podcastfolge mit auf eine Reise durch die Jahre, die in Deutschland erst im Jahr 2008 begann. Im Gespräch geht es aber nicht nur um die Historie, sondern auch um den aktuellen Stand: Asmodee hat allein am Standort Essen in Deutschland über 250 Mitarbeitende. Der Konzern wird mittlerweile an der Börse gehandelt. Die Hosts des spielboxcasts wollen auch deshalb von Udo Fischer wissen, wie es um die Selbständigkeit der deutschen Niederlassung bestellt ist. Fischer gibt Einblick in ein weiter wachsendes Unternehmen, in die Zollsituation mit den USA, nimmt Stellung zur neuen Logo-Gestaltung des Unternehmens. Und spricht über die Zukunftsperspektiven. Eine davon: Asmodee steigt 2026 auch in den Markt für RPGs sein. Außerdem haben Manuel Fritsch und Stefan Ducksch wieder einige der Essen-Neuheiten ausprobieren können und sprechen unter anderem über die Spiele BIDDLE (Amigo), NAISHI (Board Game Circus), NEXT (Noctis), SCHMETTERLINGE SCHÄTZEN (arsEdition), KAVANGO (Schmidt) und GALACTIC CRUISE (PD Verlag). Abschließend blickt spielbox-Chefredakteur Stefan Ducksch zurück auf die Ausgabe #6 (erschienen Mitte November) und wirft bereits einen Blick voraus auf die spielbox #7, die zu Weihnachten im Briefkasten der Abonnenten liegen wird.

Le nom artistique Yemanjá est inspiré d’une entité, déesse, issue de rites de la culture traditionnelle africaine. La personne derrière l’artiste Yemanjá, c’est Cécilia Montomoli. L’italienne, nantaise de coeur depuis plus de dix ans, signe l’exposition Où tu p(L)aces ta frontière ?, à l’Espace Cosmopolis, ce dernier mois d’octobre à Nantes. Accent d’Ici où L’art & la culture sont en version locale, produit et animé par la journaliste culturelle Bárbara Cardoso, a brisé les murs autour des frontières dans le studio de la Radio Campus Angers FM 103MHz. Cécilia Montomoli présente son parcours artistique en tant que comédienne au service du théâtre, de la danse, des arts plastiques, des performances. Son intérêt latent sur l’humanité et les frontières approfondit les lisières géographiques, ainsi que les limites du corps et de l’esprit. Où tu passes ta frontière ? Où tu places ta frontière ? sont quelques questions superposées par Cécilia Montomoli à partir des installations, des photos-questions, du dessin sur des Atlas, le tout cousu par du fil rouge. Métaphore sur les limitrophes imaginés et imposés par les politiques internationales et franchis de manières très différentes selon l’origine, la couleur, l’ethnie, le statut social. Au-delà de ces réflexions si actuelles et fondamentales pour la construction de nouveaux dialogues possibles (démocratique, libre, humaniste, pluriel), Cécilia Montomoli, ou mieux, Yemanjá, nous offre une playlist diverse et universelle. Un cadeau comme une sorte d’invitation à naviguer l’inspiration éthérée seulement permise par le biais de la musique. Bonne écoute et à bientôt ! par Bárbara Cardoso

It is Ventilation Friday on The Other Side of Midnight with Lionel! Prepare for an entertaining and informative session of rapid-fire takes, bouncing from topic to topic. Lionel ventilates on serious questions (Is imitating Barry White racist?) and modern frustrations, including co-workers who vanish, the epidemic of phone and email scams, and the absurd need for Wi-Fi passwords in public places. He critiques modern retail antics and customer service styles. Lionel demands we stop talking about certain exhausted news cycles, like Epstein, and rants about pronunciation pet peeves. Plus, listen in for deeply personal stories about overcoming a debilitating stutter, the challenges of being paralyzed by words, and calls covering the history of the show and the disappearing New York accent. Finally, Lionel dives into vintage tech nostalgia, covering everything from party lines and rotary phones to person-to-person calls and pre-coordinated international calls from the 1950s.

Learn more about Michael Wenderoth, Executive Coach: www.changwenderoth.comEver feel you are getting penalized at work – not getting promoted, not being listened to, not being seen as a leader – because of your accent? “Accent bias” is very real, says Peter Novak, but his prescriptions on how to overcome that bias – and elevate yourself – may surprise you. In this episode of 97% Effective, host Michael Wenderoth sits down with Peter Novak, PhD and founder of the Strictly Speaking Group. They discuss how we should think about accents – and the keys to succeeding in high stakes communications, particularly if you are a non-native English speaker. Peter challenges the usefulness of “accent reduction” training and the common advice to “not read from a script,” sharing research and cutting-edge strategies (including ones that involve AI) that have helped his clients become rising stars who embrace the power of their multilingual identities. You'll leave this episode with the hard truths on accents and amazingly practical tips that will immediately help you ascend.SHOW NOTES:Peter's interest in communication, accents and theater that drove his career and lifeInsights from Peter's two year project translating Shakespeare's 12th night into American Sign Language (ASL)Blunt question #1: Is “accent bias” real? Peter shares the research.What the heck does confidence in English sound like?The core of Peter's work: How do you speak in a way that meets the expectations of what native speakers are listening for?Blunt question #2: Should I get accent reduction training? Peter's surprising response.Brain science on what native English speakers are listening for: English as a “stress-timed language” where stressing certain words generates meaningBeyond your words and accent: understanding “prosody” or the musicality of a language to convey meaning, intention – and make your communication landPractical Tip: One of the best things you can do is to get a good microphone!“It's not an accent, it's an identity”The Canadian study that showed that language training that focused on “macro-linguistic factors” (variation, tone, pace) mattered more than training that focused on accentPractical Tip for fast speakers: Don't slow down – Instead pause within the sentence around “thought clusters”How to sound confident, curious, or spontaneous: When and how to use downward, upward and sustained intonation in your communication.How to read from a text – but still sound like you are speaking off the cuffPractical Tip: Practice your speech out loud – but record it with a voice to text app – and then ask AI to generate a voice print and recommendations.Practical Tip: Scoring and the “2 1/2 inch trick” when delivering a powerful speech through virtual meetings and online video communication.Repeating words, using sustained inflection – and not being confined by the text: Peter demonstrates how to sound spontaneous when reading from a scriptPractical tip, inspired by Ginger Rogers: How to send subtle reminders at work that you are powerful and do a lot of heavy lifting.Practical tip, inspired by Laura Huang: Turn a stereotypically perceived weakness into a strengthPractical tip: Use idioms from your native language (where Peter reveals his Argentinian-accented Spanish!)Understanding how people want their communications: Ask them, ask others, use new AI toolsPractical tip for non-native speakers: Provide sign posts and structure to ensure your message landsLightning round with Peter: Who has most shaped his thinking, How communication will evolve with AI BIO AND LINKS:Peter Novak is the founder of Strictly Speaking Group, where he has built his reputation as a globally recognized communications coach.

In this episode, Diego von Söhsten, immigrant operator, product leader, and Director of Product Growth at Jobber, opens up about the “after you've already proven yourself” flavor of imposter syndrome. He recounts a moment when a senior executive publicly tore down his work (and blamed his accent), and how he rebuilt confidence, created alignment without air cover, and ultimately earned a promotion while shipping a freemium foundation that mattered when COVID hit.Diego talks about learning to over-communicate up and across, turning anti-role-models into fuel for the leader he wanted to become, and building a growth org that prized clarity, storytelling, and psychological safety. He also shares practical ways underrepresented builders can find mentors, ask for help without shame, and protect their inner game when the ground keeps moving.In this conversation, you'll learn:How to turn painful feedback and bias into long-term fuel for resilience and credibility as a leader.How to use storytelling and structured communication to create alignment and influence without authority.How to build a support network of mentors, peers, and self-awareness to stay grounded under pressure.Things to listen for:(00:00) Intro(01:53) Diego's career beginnings(06:01) Diego's experience being criticized for his accent(10:43) Thank you to our sponsor, Navattic(15:05) Overcoming and growing from adversity(24:04) Understanding user drop-off and alignment(24:46) The power of storytelling in product management(26:38) Building and leading effective teams(29:31) Diego's advice to those struggling to find their place(33:13) Working with a good team member who just couldn't fit(44:58) Balancing passion for work and professional boundariesA huge thanks to this episode's sponsor:Navattic: Interactive Product Demo Software - https://navattic.com/value Resources:Connect with Diego: www.linkedin.com/in/diego-vs Diego's official website: https://www.vonsohsten.com Connect with Andrew:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewcapland/ Substack: https://media.deliveringvalue.coHire Andrew as your coach: https://deliveringvalue.co/coachingJoin Growth OS: https://deliveringvalue.co/growth-operating-system

This week we welcome London-based interior designer Nicola Harding to the show to discuss her latest book "Homing Instinct." Nicola—whose work spans boutique hotels, restaurants, and royalty—shares her unconventional path into design, the influence of garden design on her interiors, and her human-led approach to layouts, color, and pattern. Listen to discover Nicola's strategy for finding a home's "spirit" by listening to people and place; she also recounts a church-to-restaurant conversion, a vivid Italian project rich in terracottas and dusty reds, and the practical origins of her furniture and homewares line, all underscored by a commitment to craftsmanship and locally made materials. Key Takeaways: Prioritize how people live: start with layout and create human-scaled “places” (cozy corners, pools of light) before decorating. Use color boldly and early—paint is a low-cost, high-impact tool; layer similar tones for depth and mood. Treat stripes/checks and scaled repeats as neutral texture; mix scales and tonal variants for harmony. Favor natural pigments, vintage fabrics, and local craftsmanship; design furniture to solve real project needs.

Let's analyze the "influencer accent" - what exactly is it, why do influencers sound like that, and why do audiences seem to hate it so much??

That's THOSE were the days. Accent on the "THOSE!" Maybe you know what we're talking about or maybe you don't and are about to go on a nostalgic journey back into kids television. Are You Afraid of the Dark was a staple of Nickelodeon's Saturday night SNICK lineup. It closed out the night with spooky tales told by The Midnight Society around a campfire. It was just spooky enough to scare kids, but was it spooky enough for adults too? Does it even hold up? We'll find out on today's episode!Next week! Watch Happy Days - S2E6 - Haunted.

En Espagne, pour pallier la pénurie de main-d'œuvre dans certains secteurs, le gouvernement autorise les entreprises à embaucher des étrangers dans leur pays d'origine pour travailler quelques mois avant de repartir. À Lleida, en Catalogne, l'arrivée de ces travailleurs temporaires contentent les agriculteurs, tandis que les travailleurs immigrés saisonniers résidant en Espagne se plaignent de voir leurs emplois menacés. Une mise en concurrence qui passe mal. Le reportage de notre correspondante à Barcelone est à retrouver dans son intégralité sur le site de RFI dans le podcast Accent d'Europe.   À lire aussiEspagne: vers une régularisation de près de 500 000 personnes en situation irrégulière

647. We talk to Brad Dison about his book, The Trap, about the death of Bonnie and Clyde. "For far too long, Sheriff Henderson Jordan's role in ending the crime spree of Bonnie and Clyde has been overlooked or ignored. On the rare occasion that he is portrayed in films or documentaries, he is depicted as an insignificant character. Since 1934, we have accepted the notion that Frank Hamer located the outlaws and led the ambush against them. Henderson Jordan was the sheriff in Bienville Parish, Louisiana, when he learned that Bonnie and Clyde were hiding somewhere within the jurisdiction that he had sworn to protect. It was he who tracked the gang to their hideouts, who set the trap to capture them, and who led the ambush posse that ended their crime spree in a hail of gunfire. Author Brad Dison spent nearly a decade sifting through F.B.I. files, newsreels, newspapers, photos, telegrams, filmed interviews, and true crime magazines to separate fact from fiction. While detailing the gang's many crimes including theft, burglary, armed robbery, carjacking, kidnapping, terrorism, torture, and murder in a play-by-play fashion, "The Trap" analyzes the events in Henderson Jordan's life which led to the final pursuit of Bonnie and Clyde and the legal battle which followed."

"I thought I had gotten rid of it after I moved to Texas; speech classes and twelve years in another state — but I'd still fall back into it like into the gutter whenever I visited, even on the phone, whenever my mother called, forgetting I was a college graduate, forgetting I was an English major, saying things like wheah ya at sweethawt, or dat doan mean nuttn, ya awta seen da way she pawks dat caw, the sounds I was fed like milk as a child, the aw sound predominating as if it was just too much work to pronounce the r."
