Matt Howell from the Bronze Age Monsters podcast, returns to the Land of Scrolls! We discuss two issues (and so much more) of Conan the Barbarian which are part of an adaption of the novel, “Kothar and the Conjurer’s Curse” by Gardner F. Fox. We also welcome Wulf the Barbarian...

Mercedes Bryce Morgan unpacks the whirlwind making of Bone Lake, an 18-day Atlanta shoot that battled storms, injuries, and lost gear before completing its night-boat climax on a Los Angeles soundstage. After a Fantastic Fest premiere and Deadline-breaking international sales, the erotic survival thriller heads to U.S. theaters with buzzy audience reactions and a proudly “fun, commercial, popcorn” spirit.Mercedes traces her path from mini DV Star Wars shorts and USC to festival features, describing her taste as a mix of Oldboy's devastation and Amélie's heart. Other past influences include Barbarians, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, The House of Yes, Funny Games, and The One I Love. Her TIFF-premiering Fixation (2022) sparked her love for erotic thrillers.On craft, she argues the best twists are guessable seconds before they land, and test screenings help her fine-tune which parts of the mystery viewers might sense without solving it too soon. Her advice to young filmmakers: embrace constraints as boot camp, stick with collaborators who love the work, design for the audience experience, and make sure you enjoy the day-to-day… because the process is the life.What Movies Are You Watching?Introducing the Past Present Feature Film Festival, a new showcase celebrating cinematic storytelling across time.

Picture this: You're 45 years old, halfway through writing the definitive history of your civilization. Writing this history is the family business, and you've made a promise to your dying father to finish his work no matter what, when your boss, who happens to be the Emperor of China, gives you a choice. You can be executed or, if that doesn't work for your schedule, how about castration? Sima Qian picked door number two. If you enjoyed this tale of commitment, consider subscribing or supporting the Substack. Your subscription will cost far less than what Sima Qian paid. We promise. In this special episode of Barbarians at the Gate, Jeremiah teams up with China Books Review's Associate Editor Alexander Boyd to dig into the story of history's most committed writer. Sima Qian didn't just compile China's first great historical work—he literally sacrificed his manhood to complete it after defending a friend got him sideways with Emperor Han Wudi. Jeremiah and Alexander explore what it means to speak truth to power when the consequences are real, why Sima Qian's model of moral courage feels especially relevant in our current moment of “spiritual castrations,” and whether anyone today has the stones (so to speak) to make that kind of sacrifice for their work. Sometimes the classics hit different when the world's gone sideways.

Guelzo joins Jonah Goldberg to discuss his new book, The Golden Thread: A History of the Western Tradition, Volume I: The Ancient World and Christendom, exploring the origins of the key threads that make up the Western tradition, how they were woven together over two-and-a-half millennia, and how foundational ideas such as science, freedom, equality, law, good government, and virtue emerged and evolved.

In this encore episode of Barbarians at the Gate, first broadcast in March 2024, John Alekna talks about his fascinating new book Seeking News, Making China: Information Technology and the Emergence of Mass Society. In 20th-century China, the gradual importation and development of information technology had an enormous impact on the way news was disseminated and accessed by the general public. When radio first appeared in the early 1920s, fewer than 8 in 1,000 people had access to newspapers, whereas by the Mao period hundreds of millions of citizens were receiving daily news and information via radio, TV, and shortwave technology. This book provides an enlightening “meta-historical” account of the evolving communications technologies that fueled the May Fourth Movement, KMT and CCP propaganda campaigns during WWII, and the mass information campaigns of the Mao era, such as the Cultural Revolution. The book describes how the various interlocking information technologies, infrastructure, and communication channels—what Alekna calls the “newsscape”—affected popular opinion, politics, and state power. John Alekna is an Assistant Professor in the History of Science, Technology, and Medicine at Peking University.

It Was Just A Few Weeks Ago That We Got An Email That Simply Said "Check Out This Track From The Band Opening Up For The Deftones, I Think You'll Dig It.".  The Track Was "Modern Fashion" From "The Barbarians Of California" And We Dug It Indeed!! Then, Our Minds Were Blown, We Found Out The Band Consists Of Members Of Another Band That Has Already Done Very Well For Themselves (more than 1.5 million albums sold).   Who Are The Barbarians? Why Do They Do This? How Are They So Awesome?  Ross Ford Investigates In This Edition.

In Episode 98, Andrew Langer and Jerry Rogers are joined by Dr. Peter Pitts—former FDA Associate Commissioner and President of the Center for Medicine in the Public Interest—for a sobering discussion on how America's hospital system has been hijacked by greed, mismanagement, and a lack of accountability. Dr. Pitts explains how hospital consolidation, private equity influence, and opaque billing practices have created a crisis where profit often trumps patient care. Together, they take aim at the myth of the benevolent nonprofit hospital, expose the billions spent on lobbying, and call out the regulatory failure to enforce even basic price transparency laws.After Dr. Pitts departs, Andrew and Jerry pivot to a deeply troubling story out of Charlotte, NC: the brutal murder of a young Ukrainian refugee by an individual who had been released on bond despite facing serious prior charges. The hosts connect this tragedy to the broader collapse of law and order in American cities and question why progressive leaders continue to prioritize political narratives over public safety. They explore how DEI ideology has seeped into every major institution—from hospitals to law enforcement—and how it's contributing to institutional dysfunction and a dangerous erosion of public trust.Blending policy insight, cultural critique, and principled outrage, this episode is a must-listen for anyone concerned about where the country is headed—and what must be done to save it.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit wisdomofcrowds.live“ ‘Barbarism' is a word that keeps coming to my lips lately,” writes Damir Marusic in a brilliant new article this week. Barbarism seems to be the only real word that describes what comes after the liberal international order. But Damir isn't pointing to the supposed barbarism of our enemies. His article points to the ways that we in the West — and in the United States — are becoming coarser and more egocentric. Like the poet said, barbarism begins at home. Shadi Hamid interrogates Damir about his piece in Socratic fashion. Is Damir maybe making a moral equivalence between the Trumpist Right and the hapless Left? While it's true that the Left isn't very effective, it can hardly be said to be barbaric. In the course of his answer, Damir discusses Alligator Alcatraz as the symbol of new American barbarism: kind of silly, but also, openly cruel. For Damir, barbarism isn't just Nazism; it is the strong turn toward selfishness and narcissism that has taken place since the middle of the twentieth century. And he has a theory of why the turn took place: secularization and the death of God. On this point, Shadi agrees, but he still has questions. Is it political structures or innate nature that make us turn toward evil? If it is the former, how can politics help in this moment to keep us from becoming truly barbaric? It is a timely and intense conversation.In our bonus section for paid subscribers, Damir and Shadi discuss why “war is a force that gives us meaning”; Shadi compares violence to orgasms; Damir's Calvinist sympathies make an appearance; Damir opposes “vulgar Nietzscheanism” with a “moral law” forged out of our “broken humanity”; Shadi wonders if Damir has finally become a moralist; can morality survive Pax Americana?; Gaza and barbarism; Christopher Hitchens and faith; the origin of the phrase, “Beyond the pale”; and more!Required Reading:* Damir, “Back to Barbarism” (WoC).* Thérèse Delpech, Savage Century: Back to Barbarism (Amazon). * Curzio Malaparte, Kaputt (Amazon). * Friedrich Nietzsche, “The Parable of the Madman” (Fordham University).

“… the more I found that while it had established a rule and order, the chief aim of that order was to give room for good things to run wild.” G. K. Chesterton   This week we feature a rebroadcast of a 2021 talk from our lower school head, Colin Gleason. Mr. Gleason addressed the topic of discipline using decades of experience in the Valley, converting the lessons he shares with his homeroom teachers into ideas for parents at home. Ultimately, his guidance is all about bringing a long-term vision and great love into our attitudes of discipline, willing the good for our boys with all earnest humility. Whether you're thinking the kitchen or the classroom, Mr. Gleason encourages us to foster a culture of respectful dominion.

It's ok to L-A-U-G-H !!!-powered by Disaster Plus

Jeremiah and David are joined by Jeffrey Wasserstrom, historian of modern China and a longtime interpreter of the country's shifting place in the world. Originally recorded in 2020, this conversation revisits the Boxer War of 1900—not through the usual lens of siege and rescue, but by examining what followed: the punitive occupation, the fractured international memory, and the long shadow cast by a global media frenzy. Wasserstrom's reading reframes the Boxers not as an isolated burst of anti-foreign violence, but as part of a cycle of uprisings and reprisals that shaped modern China's encounter with the West. He discusses why the term “Boxer Rebellion” obscures more than it reveals, and why “Year of the Boxers” may be a better way to understand the crisis—and its aftershocks. The episode also explores deeper patterns in Chinese history, including the 60-year cyclical mindset that links 1900 to 1960 and, by some accounts, to 2020. It's a conversation about repetition, media distortion, and the uneasy symmetry between violence and remembrance.

Is "Are You a Boy or Are You a Girl?" by The Barbarians the greatest 60s haircut song? Is it a goofy great? a protest song? You better listen and find out ... The Ravens from Columbus, Ohio grew the song out in '66 and add fuzz ... but it's not exactly garage ... or effective. The punk era saw short haircuts but a paradoxically longer version of the song by The Dogs, from Michigan. It rocks and has some cool backing vocals. The 80s garage revival brought back garage cuts, and The Nuthins -from Salisbury, not London! - brought back this one. Some cool 12-string geetar and snotty vocals - slap it on at your next Shindig! More recently, RTX covered the song and it evokes the long-haired 80s. This one's wee-urd! - Jennifer Herrema sounds like Macho Man Randy Savage and the band sounds like several Yngwe Malmsteen's. Yeah, boys wear pants!!!

The British & Irish Lions Tour of Australia in 2025 in finally underway, as Brett McKay and Harry Jones rip into the first Lions Tour edition of the Weekend Post-Mortem for The 8-9 Combo Rugby Podcast. The Western Force asked plenty of questions of the Lions for as long as they could in Perth, before the tourists' class and experience rose to the top, sealing the 54-7 eight tries to one win to open their Australian tour with a win. Plenty of really good performers amongst then: Dan Sheehan, Joe McCarthy, ‘bellend-issimo' Henry Pollock, Tomos Williams, and the unflappable Finn Russell. Darcy Swain from the Force did his chances of a Wallabies recall no harm, too. Plus, the French Top 14 and US Major League Rugby Champions have been crowned as well, and the Springboks raised the bat against the travelling Barbarians in Cape Town. #rugby #rugbypodcast #89Combo #SuperRugbyPacific #UnitedRugbyChampionship #Premiership #Top14 #JapanRugbyLeagueOne #MajorLeagueRugby #LionsTour Find us: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@8-9Combo?sub_confirmation=1 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1BcKhb24YOtwQhKc0S3sDm Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-8-9-combo-rugby-podcast/id1729575866 Social media: #89Combo Twitter: https://twitter.com/89combo BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/89combo.bsky.social Find Brett and Harry on both Twitter and on BlueSky: @BMcSport + @HaribaldiJones Music: "Stalling" by Topher Mohr & Alex Elena (via YouTube Creator Studio) Voiceovers by Chookman + Sean Maloney Learn more about your ad choices.

Across the ditch the British and Irish Lions tour is set to kick off in Perth while the Barbarians super squad head to Cape Town with a number of All Blacks in tow for a game with the Springboks. Sports reporter Jamie Wall spoke to Lisa Owen.

Rugby: Die Stad Kaapstad verwag 'n vol Kaapstad-stadion vir Saterdag se geskiedkundige kragmeting tussen die Springbokke en die Barbarians. Die wedstryd is die eerste ontmoeting tussen die twee spanne sedert 2016 en die eerste een op Suid-Afrikaanse bodem. Die burgemeesterskomiteelid vir Veiligheid en Sekerheid, JP Smith, sê meer as 40 000 toeskouers word verwag en dit sal die verkeer beïnvloed:

America's Ivy League universities have long been hotbeds of censorship and intolerance. Unpopular views are deplatformed, unorthodox professors are cancelled and research prioritises PC fads over facts. Donald Trump has vowed to force universities to clean up their act – but is he helping on hurting? Here, Yascha Mounk – editor of Persuasion and author of The Identity Trap – argues that Trump's campus diktats are only stoking a woke backlash. Free speech and reason are just as imperilled as ever, he says. The university could now be in its death throes.   Read spiked: ⁠https://www.spiked-online.com/⁠     Support spiked:⁠https://www.spiked-online.com/support/⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

Rugby: Die Springbokke se hulpafrigter, Tony Brown, sê Saterdag se wedstryd teen die Barbarians is 'n ideale toets vir die span wat die toon sal aangee vir die komende seisoen. Die wedstryd op die Kaapstad-stadion is die eerste ontmoeting tussen die Bokke en die BaaBaas sedert 2016. Brown sê aspekte van Suid-Afrika se speelstyl sal deur die seisoen ontwikkel terwyl hulle daarop fokus om aanhoudend te verbeter:

John Maytham is joined by Daily Maverick sports journalist Craig Ray to unpack why Saturday’s Springboks vs Barbarians match in Cape Town is being viewed more as a high-profile training exercise than a true Test match Presenter John Maytham is an actor and author-turned-talk radio veteran and seasoned journalist. His show serves a round-up of local and international news coupled with the latest in business, sport, traffic and weather. The host’s eclectic interests mean the program often surprises the audience with intriguing book reviews and inspiring interviews profiling artists. A daily highlight is Rapid Fire, just after 5:30pm. CapeTalk fans call in, to stump the presenter with their general knowledge questions. Another firm favourite is the humorous Thursday crossing with award-winning journalist Rebecca Davis, called “Plan B”.

Springbok-afrigter Rassie Erasmus sê hy sal voortgaan met sy span-rotasiebeleid. In 2024 het hy 50 spelers in 13 toetswedstryde gebruik en 12 nuwelinge ingespan. Erasmus het nege nuwelinge in sy groep van 55 vir die kragmeting teen die Barbarians op 28 Junie en toetse teen Italië en Georgië in Julie. Hy sê hulle wil iets soortgelyk aan verlede jaar doen waar die senior spelers en sommige van die jonger spelers ʼn bydrae op die veld lewer:

Issu d'une famille d'agriculteurs, Clément grandit dans la campagne Tarnaise. D'abord attiré par le foot, il découvre réellement le rugby au collège, et c'est en suivant ses copains qu'il décide de prendre sa première licence. Il débute à Cagnac les Mines avant de rapidement rejoindre un Sporting Club Albigeois en pleine ascension !Franchissant les étapes une à une, il atteint le groupe pro après sa majorité. Pensionnaire de l'équipe de France -20, il fait par ailleurs sa place en Pro D2, et monte même une saison en Top 14.En 2013, son diplôme d'ingénieur en poche, il quitte le Tarn et prend la direction de l'Union Bordeaux Bègles où il s'imposera, et sera même sélectionné à 8 reprises avec le XV de France.Retraité des terrains en 2024 après 17 saisons en tant que joueur pro, Clément a la particularité d'avoir quasiment toujours travaillé à coté de sa brillante carrière rugbystique.Pas particulièrement doué, c'est un forçat de travail, un véritable besogneux, aujourd'hui reconverti dans un domaine plutôt inattendu : l'ostréiculture !Très proche de sa famille et des siens, Clément est un personnage authentique… il est pour ainsi dire, franc du collier, et c'est aussi ce qui a fait sa force.J'ai passé un superbe moment en sa compagnie, en témoignent la richesse et la durée de notre échange... et je suis certain que vous allez vous aussi vous régaler !Bonne écoute !-----------------------------

Hello! Today we have on repeat guest Karen Hao to talk about her new blockbuster book “Empire of AI: Dreams and Nightmares in Sam Altman's OpenAI.” It's an amazing, deeply reported book that somehow encapsulates the history of AI, Silicon Valley, and OpenAI while also making a needed and clear argument about how we should think about this technology. Truly like if “Barbarians at the Gate” met “The Shock Doctrine” and it was about AI. We talk about the beginnings of OpenAI, how it burns a colonial path throughout the rest of the world in the form of data centers and exploitative labor, and how we might find a better alternative to Sam Altman's plan to take over the world. Can't recommend this book more highly — go get it! This is a public episode.

Founder of Borderhawk.News and head of Infowars Europe, Dan Lyman stops by to break down what is happening along the southern border of the United States as close to seven million illegal aliens have illegally crossed into America under the watch, and with the assistance, of the Biden regime. With Europe dealing with a similar situation as millions of fighting-age men from Africa and the Middle East stream into Western Europe in a coordinated fashion, Dan's team discovered how George Soros and his Open Society have partnered with Mastercard and the European Union to finance the migration with more than half a billion dollars as a way of changing the cultural makeup of the countries in their path. Yet another Soros-financed color revolution is well underway, this time disguised as refugees and asylum seekers.

The CEO of NPR faced Congress and had to keep lying to continue to get funding from the taxpayer. The best frozen pizza.
