Podcasts about Oscar Wilde

Today Scotland Yard chief Sir Mark Rowley has apologised after serving officers called for immigrants to be shot, revelled in the use of force and were dismissive of rape claims in an undercover BBC documentary, which was aired on Wednesday night. Sir Mark Rowley said the behaviour of some at Charing Cross Police exposed by Panorama is “reprehensible and completely unacceptable” - but he denied that the Met Police is institutionally racist. Dr Aaron Winter, a senior lecturer in sociology at Lancaster University, responds to the news. And in part two, The Standard's Theatre Critic and Host of The London Theatre Review podcast, Nick Curtis, joins us to review a new rendition of Oscar Wilde's famous play The Importance of Being Earnest, from director Max Webster, which is showing at London's Noel Coward Theatre. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In 2013, John Cooper, an expert on Oscar Wilde, made a surprising discovery. While researching aspects of Wilde's famous 1882 American lecture tour, he came upon a lengthy article written and copyrighted by Wilde in 1885 on his philosophies of dress.  What made this unique was that this significant piece of writing by Oscar had seemingly been forgotten or lost to history.  This episode marks the publication of a new edition of John's book Oscar Wilde on Dress which includes the original essay, as well as extensive background and supplemental material to put not only the essay but also Oscar's life into perspective. Wilde was passionate about the dress reform movement in the late 19th century, which sought to liberate women from the constraints of a male-dominated society. This fascinating essay, along with John's commentary and additional resources, sheds new light on how Oscar thought not only about dress, but about larger issues of beauty, freedom, and gender. Find more about John Cooper's book "Oscar Wilde on Dress" This episode was produced and edited by Kieran Gannon Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

En este episodio de Calamares en su tinta, exploramos la vida, obra y legado de Oscar Wilde, uno de los escritores más brillantes y polémicos de la Inglaterra victoriana. La Biblioteca Nacional del Reino Unido acaba de restituirle simbólicamente su carnet de lector, retirado hace 130 años tras ser condenado por homosexualidad. Desde su encarcelamiento hasta sus últimas obras, pasando por su relación con la belleza, el amor y la libertad, repasamos cómo Wilde se convirtió en un ícono literario y símbolo de la lucha por la diversidad.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Am 18. Februar 1856 hinterließ der Marquis von Queensberry im Albemarle Club eine Karte, die an „Oscar Wilde, den posierenden Homosexuellen“ gerichtet war. Hintergrund dieser Beleidigung war die Affäre des fast 40-jährigen Dichters mit Lord Alfred Douglas, dem dritten Sohn des Marquis. Anstatt die Karte zu ignorieren, strengte Wilde ein Verleumdungsverfahren gegen Queensberry an, damit nahm das Verhängnis seinen Lauf. Zwei Kriminalprozesse, die seinen Lebenswandel aufs Peinlichste bloßlegten, brachten Wilde zwei Jahre Zuchthaus und Zwangsarbeit ein sowie den Verlust von Gesundheit und Ruf. Nach der ersten vollständigen Niederschrift des Queensbury-Prozesses Von Merlin Holland Mit: Marcus Kiepe, Ulrich Noethen, Christian Redl, Wolfgang Kaven u.a.

Oscar Wilde wrote this spine tingling tale. a young man wishes he would always stay as young as the picture painted of himself. His wish is granted, but the painting starts to grow old and reflect the evil in his soul.

Send us a textThe subject of today's podcast, Oscar Wilde is extremely important because of his efforts in making wit an art form. His plays — such as The Importance of Being Earnest — are still laugh-out-loud funny more than a century later, which almost no other Victorian writer can claim. He exposed the hypocrisy and absurdity of his society with dazzling one-liners that still feel sharp in our own age of image-making and social performance.But beyond the jokes, Wilde's life gives him lasting weight. He lived boldly, at enormous personal risk, in an era when his sexuality was criminalized. His downfall — from London celebrity to prison — makes his art feel all the more courageous.Support the showThank you for experiencing Celebrate Creativity.

Episode 187:This episode is both an ending and a beginning. An ending because it is the last of the recent run of consecutive guest episodes – next time we will be returning to Shakespeare, Jonson and their plays – but it is also the first of what I hope will be a series of guest episodes attached to each of the very significant Shakespeare plays that are coming up soon. With the very well-known and arguably greatest of Shakespeare's plays the task of providing some meaningful commentary is, I have found, very daunting, so I thought it would be a good idea to have another view on these plays to bring another perspective to them besides my own. I am also keen for those views to be born from the practical experience of producing the plays and understanding them from an actor's perspective and therefore as a result of close exploration of the text.

We discuss the meaning of us being created in the Image of God as a simile. Just as Hashem is the Actor of and upon the world so to we are actors in the world. It is God's will that we should know this fact and embrace it. We then use the plot of A Picture of Dorian Grey by Oscar Wilde as an analogy to this idea. This class was given at a private home on 9/14/25.

Pulitzer Prize winning novelist Edith Wharton came by her subject matter the old-fashioned way: she was born into a prominent New York City family, and was subjected to the mores of the city's high society circle from birth. This did not suit the plain, brainy young Edith even a little bit, much to her mother's horror, but Edith did eventually submit to an extremely unhappy marriage to a diagnosed megalomaniac (!), which ended in, you guessed it, a trashy divorce. But this episode contains way more than Edith's life, writing and love affairs. We also explore the Gilded Age society that Edith lives in, but it is her aunt who really makes that society. Mrs. Mary Mason Jones is quite the OG legend in New York City, and the entire reason for the phrase “keeping up with the Joneses”. Also included are Mrs. Paran Stevens, Oscar Wilde, a set of international locations, many love affairs, and a whole lot of Newport too.

Prepare for an extraordinary journey as two legendary figures – the famously witty Oscar Wilde and the brilliantly authentic Anthony Bourdain – they crash our podcast, arriving fashionably late and ready to challenge everything you thought you knew! This isn't just an interview; it's a vibrant, uncensored dialogue that playfully kicks off with "National Be Late to Something Day" and the deliciously irreverent theme of "Samosas, Slackers, and Soul's Hunger." Picture Oscar, with his sharp, sweeping wit and "loungy energy" like a grand theater curtain's reveal, alongside Anthony, embodying the grounded, "food truck" vibe of the American street. Together, they invite you to embrace "the exquisite art of doing nothing at all," elevating lateness to a philosophy and fried food to a sacrament. But beneath the charming rebellion lies a profound, shared truth: loneliness. This episode delves deep into how both men grappled with this universal human experience, yet in starkly different ways. • Anthony Bourdain reveals how he initially mistook his profound loneliness for an insatiable "hunger" and a "brokenness" within, believing more travel and stories would finally fill the void. He candidly shares the depths of this struggle, even considering ending his life, before ultimately realizing that this "appetite of the soul" was, in fact, a powerful "compass" pointing him towards genuine connection and authenticity. • Oscar Wilde speaks to the universal "human dilemma" of confusing desire with inadequacy. He clarifies that our deepest appetites are not flaws but powerful signals, "seeking" and "searching" for the truth that already resides within us. This captivating dialogue then explores the complex nature of self-worth, with Bourdain sharing his constant battle against the feeling of "I'm not enough yet," even after countless accomplishments. He ultimately discovers that "self-worth doesn't come from feeding the hunger" but from sitting with it, understanding it as a beacon, not a void. His powerful realization? "Our self-worth is eternal" and "isn't up for negotiation." Discover their unique sensitivities: Wilde's "very emotionally sensitive" nature, where wit became his shield against hypocrisy and rejection, and he clung to beauty and words in his darkest hours. Bourdain, highly empathic, absorbed the "emotional weight from the stories of others," leading to a restlessness he tried to manage by immersing himself in others' worlds, often feeling a "block" to fully experiencing flowing love due to layers of injustice and loss. Oscar Wilde offers a profound distinction between "surviving" – "clinging to the bare bones of existence," a state of "gray," and "thriving" – where existence becomes "an expression," full of "laughter and color," like iridescent mother-of-pearl. Finally, you'll walk away with practical wisdom for navigating loneliness in your own life, including daily practices to inject spontaneity and beauty into your routine. Don't miss their poignant toasts and the incredible symbolic gifts they leave us: • Oscar's "watch without time": An ornate gold pocket watch that opens to a mirror, reminding us that life is "not measured in hours, but in beauty, in laughter and in love." • Anthony's "chipped bowl of shared fire": A powerful symbol that "you are never alone at the table," with ancestors, guides, strangers, and friends always present. It's a call to place your loneliness in this bowl, allowing the embers to "reduce it down to connection," and to love your authentic self, chips and all. Tune in for a truly unforgettable episode, filled with wit, wisdom, and profound revelations that will shift your perspective on life, hunger, and the eternal nature of your true worth.   To learn more about Christy Levy, click here.

The present is what man ought not to be. The future is what artists are.” Published originally as “The Soul of Man Under Socialism,” this is not so much a work of sober political analysis; rather it can be summed up as a rhapsodic manifesto on behalf of the Individual. Socialism having deployed technology to liberate the whole of humanity from soul-destroying labour, the State obligingly withers away to allow the free development of a joyful, anarchic hedonism... “Is this Utopian? A map of the world that does not include Utopia is not worth even glancing at, for it leaves out the one country at which Humanity is always landing.” Far from abandoning the epigram in favour of the slogan, Wilde wittily assails several of his favourite targets: the misguided purveyors of philanthropy; life-denying ascetics of various kinds; the army of the half-educated who constitute themselves the enemies of Art - and those venal popular journalists who cater to them... “Behind the barricade there may be much that is noble and heroic. But what is there behind the leading-article but prejudice, stupidity, cant, and twaddle?” (Introduction by Martin Geeson)

A history of the dandy from below, from Beau Brummell and Baudelaire to Bowie and Bolan... and beyond. The historical figure of the dandy has commonly been described as an upper-class gentleman, often exemplified by well-known men such as Beau Brummell, Charles Baudelaire, Oscar Wilde, and Max Beerbohm. But there is a broader history to be told about the dandy - one that incorporates unknown men from the lower strata of society. The Dandy: A People's History of Sartorial Splendour (Oxford UP, 2025) constitutes the first ever history of those dandies who emanated from the less privileged layers of the populace - the lowly clerks, shop assistants, domestic servants, and labourers who increasingly during the modern age have emerged as style-conscious men about town. Peter Andersson shows that dandyism is far from just an elite phenomenon represented by famous poets and artists. He shows how dandyism as a popular youth subculture grew into an influential cultural movement, from the days of Beau Brummell in the early 19th century to the age of mods in the 1960s. A series of fascinating in-depth studies of the wide variety of dandy subcultures that have surfaced around the world in the last two centuries tell the story of how the shaping of fashions and the image of men became increasingly democratized, with the arbiters of taste increasingly coming from the other end of the social spectrum. Along the way, we encounter such long-forgotten groups as the mashers, the knuts, the Paris gandins and the Berlin transgender dandies, alongside more well-known but unexplored figures like the zoot suiter, the teddy boy, and the New Romantic. Above all, this is a story of how fundamental aspects of modern culture such as fashion, style, and conduct have been shaped from below just as much as from above. It is a story that shows how the problematic business of young men trying to find an identity is an enduring phenomenon - and one sadly often accompanied by innocent victims along the way. Peter K. Andersson is a historian and writer, with a PhD in History from Lund University in Sweden. He has been a visiting scholar at the universities of London, Oxford, and Bologna, and has written extensively on Victorian cultural history, urban history, and popular culture.

A history of the dandy from below, from Beau Brummell and Baudelaire to Bowie and Bolan... and beyond. The historical figure of the dandy has commonly been described as an upper-class gentleman, often exemplified by well-known men such as Beau Brummell, Charles Baudelaire, Oscar Wilde, and Max Beerbohm. But there is a broader history to be told about the dandy - one that incorporates unknown men from the lower strata of society. The Dandy: A People's History of Sartorial Splendour (Oxford UP, 2025) constitutes the first ever history of those dandies who emanated from the less privileged layers of the populace - the lowly clerks, shop assistants, domestic servants, and labourers who increasingly during the modern age have emerged as style-conscious men about town.

Lady Chiltern mag gelegentlich an Humor sparen, doch ansonsten scheint sie nahezu vollkommen: warmherzig, klug und von unerschütterlicher moralischer Integrität. Ihren Ehemann Sir Robert hält sie für die Verkörperung eines idealen Gatten – ohne zu ahnen, dass sein Aufstieg auf einer skrupellosen Entscheidung in der Vergangenheit beruht. Doch dann taucht die raffinierte Mrs. Cheveley auf und erpresst Sir Robert: Entweder er unterstützt ihr korruptes Geschäftsmanöver, oder sie ruiniert seinen Ruf und seine Ehe. Nach der Komödie von Oscar Wilde  Aus dem Englischen von Carl Ch. A. Hagemann  Mit: Hans Mahnke, Hans Quest, Gerd Brüdern, Adelheid Seeck, Edda Seippel u. v. a.  Hörspielbearbeitung: Werner Illing  Regie: Cläre Schimmel  SDR 1959 

In this episode of Chronicles, Luca is joined by Harry to discuss The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde. They explore the play's satire of Victorian society and the themes of beauty, truth, and triviality.

'Our Mutual Friend' was Dickens's last completed novel, published in serial form in 1864-65. The story begins with a body being dredged from the ooze and slime of the Thames, then opens out to follow a wide array of characters through the dust heaps, paper mills, public houses and dining rooms of London and its hinterland. In this extended extract from Novel Approaches, a Close Readings series from the LRB, Tom is joined by Rosemary Hill and Tom Crewe to make sense of a complex work that was not only the last great social novel of the period but also gestured forwards to the crisp, late-century cynicism of Oscar Wilde. They consider the ways in which the book was responding to the darkening mood of mid-Victorian Britain and the fading of the post-Waterloo generation, as well as the remarkable flexibility of its prose, with its shifting modes, tenses and perspectives, that combine to make Our Mutual Friend one of the most rewarding of Dickens's novels.

Today's episode in Politics on Trial is about three trials that took place over two months in the late spring of 1895 that brought about the destruction of Oscar Wilde. Why did Wilde trigger his own doom by suing his nemesis Lord Queensbury for libel? What did he fail to understand about how he would come across in a courtroom? And how did the persecution of Wilde and his gay lifestyle reveal the hidden terrors of late Victorian England and its high society, up to and including the prime minister?

This week on The Broski Report, Fearless Leader Brittany Broski discusses The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde and the history of the macabre. The OFFICIAL Songs of The Week Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3ULrcEqO2JafGZPeonyuje?si=061c5c0dd4664f01

Amongst its pages, there are many familiar names—Oscar Wilde, Quentisn Crisp, Sappho, James Baldwin, Freddie Mercury — but also many we might not expect: Florence Nightingale, Marlene Dietrich, Cary Grant, J. Edgar Hoover, Eleanor Roosevelt, Tchaikovsky, Greta Garbo, Richard the Lionheart, even Abraham Lincoln,  along with 1000 other stories of artists, generals, politicians, kings, despots and many more figures drawn from 5000 years of hidden culture.   Keith Stern came to the Bureau to talk about his extraordinary encyclopaedia ‘Queers in History', what drove him to write it, and why it matters.   The book is more than a who's-who of queer life —it's a challenge to the official version of the past, a reminder of how history gets made, unmade, and remade,  depending on who's telling the stories, inviting us to consider how queerness has always existed, and has contributed to the culture. And we get into the subject of whether Gandalf was Queer - yes, we really do…

Donald Trump has stepped up his diplomatic assault on the government of Brazil's left- wing president, Luis Inacio Lula da Silva. He's signed an executive order which brings total tariffs on Brazilian goods to fifty percent. At the same time, the US Treasury has imposed financial sanctions on the senior Brazilian judge overseeing the criminal case for coup plotting against Brazil's former leader, Jair Bolsonaro. We speak to Brazilian ambassador to London, Antonio Patriota.Also, we speak to Yehuda Cohen - the father of an Israeli soldier taken hostage on October 7th -- who tells us he thinks the recognition of a Palestinian state will help pressure his government to get his son home. And the actor Stephen Fry on playing a formidable aristocratic woman in Oscar Wilde's most famous play, the Importance of Being Earnest.(Photo: President Trump and Brazilian then-President Bolsonaro at Mar-a-Lago in 2020.

“How can a young person stay pure? By obeying your word.” (Psalm 119:9 NLT) Nothing scares the devil more than a passion for Christ. So if you’ve recently made the decision to receive Christ as Savior and Lord, or if you’ve recently experienced a personal revival in your relationship with Him, you can expect to be targeted by your spiritual enemy. The devil will do everything in his power to stop Christians from growing and thriving in our faith. He wants to keep us from living abundant, fulfilling, difference-making, holy lives. He will set traps for us. He will try to trip us up with temptations that exploit our weaknesses. He’s crafty that way. So what are Christians to do? Can we effectively resist temptation? Or can we only heed the advice of Oscar Wilde, who said, “The only way to get rid of temptation is to yield to it.” Is that the only way to get rid of temptation? The answer is no. How can we be spiritually productive in the face of his opposition? How can we live holy lives when he’s so determined to keep us from doing so? The Bible gives us the key in Psalm 119:9: “How can a young person stay pure? By obeying your word” (NLT). If we want to live a holy life, we must obey the Word of God. We must get God’s Word into our hearts and minds. That way, when the devil sets his sights on us, we’ll be able to use God’s Word against him. Make no mistake: The Bible is a weapon as far as the devil is concerned. We see this in the story of Jesus’ temptation in Luke 4. After Jesus was baptized, He fasted for forty days in the desert wilderness. There, the devil appeared to Him to try to persuade Him to sin. Three times the devil tempted Jesus, and three times Jesus quoted God’s Word in response. And what did the devil do? “He left” (verse 13 NLT). Nothing in the devil’s arsenal was powerful enough to withstand God’s Word. Psalm 119:11 says, “I have hidden your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you” (NLT). After you give your life to Jesus, one of your next steps is to begin studying and memorizing God’s Word. Start with passages that give you comfort, strength, and reassurance, as well as passages that speak to areas in which you might be vulnerable—perhaps ones that deal with loneliness, temptation, or doubt. Run them through your mind again and again until reciting them becomes second nature to you. Once they’re securely hidden in your heart, you can draw on them immediately when you start to feel tempted, lonely, or spiritually vulnerable. You can stop the devil in his tracks by quoting God’s Word, just as Jesus did in the wilderness. The Bible is your best weapon against the devil. The more wisely and skillfully you wield it, the less of a chance he has against you. Reflection question: How can you make Bible memorization a regular part of your daily or weekly schedule?

Oscar Wilde once wrote: “Everything is about sex, except sex. Sex is about power.” In this second installment of a two-part series, I discuss the truth of this statement's second claim. Sexual selection is one the most reliable methods of determining men's relative power rankings. Furthermore, most sexual fantasies typically revolve around the use (and abuse) of power, which would be strange if sex were really just about the pleasure of the experience. By considering pornography to be a kind of wish-fulfillment, we can identify the fantasy of most men.

Oscar Wilde once wrote: “Everything is about sex, except sex. Sex is about power.” In this first installment of a two-part series, I discuss the truth of this statement's first claim. Especially when it comes to men, I contend that almost everything really is about sex. The sublimation of the sexual impulse into prosocial ends is what makes it possible for men to do the difficult, dangerous, and uncomfortable tasks demanded of civilization. For better or worse, productive output is largely based on this transformation. This is the true power of male desire.

Oscar Wilde is credited with saying, “Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit, but the highest form of intelligence.” If true, then there were some smart people in the Bible! Today's episode continues our “Holy Humor” series and includes sarcasm, puns, and other humorous stories and statements from the mouths of Samson, Elijah, and more.
