Two Days and a Wake-Up until Joanne Rowling Murray's 60th Birthday. In their home stretch conversation, Nick and John fulfill a reader request to discuss the book inside Deathly Hallows (one of three actually…), ‘Tales of Beedle the Bard,' a text that Albus Dumbledore leaves Hermione in his will for her to read and apply to the Horcrux Hunt. Nick tells the story of Rowling's creation of six hand-written copies as six-of-a-kind gifts for those who brought Harry Potter to life. John dives into the center story of the five tales, ‘The Hairy Heart,' and tells the meaning of Harry's heart to draw out what Rowling meant by describing Beedle as “the distillation” of the Hogwarts Saga. Enjoy!New to the Lake and Shed Kanreki Birthday series? Here's what we're doing:On 31 July 2025, Joanne Murray, aka J. K. Rowling and Robert Galbraith, will be celebrating her 60th birthday. This celebration is considered a ‘second birth' in Japan or Kanreki because it is the completion of the oriental astrological cycle. To mark JKR's Kanreki, Dr John Granger and Nick Jeffery, both Nipponophiles, are reading through Rowling's twenty-one published works and reviewing them in light of the author's writing process, her ‘Lake and Shed' metaphor. The ‘Lake' is the biographical source of her inspiration; the ‘Shed' is the alocal place of her intentional artistry, in which garage she transforms the biographical stuff provided by her subconscious mind into the archetypal stories that have made her the most important author of her age.

How accurately do AI models like ChatGPT, Grok, and Bard portray the theory of intelligent design? Can large language models rise above the biases of sources like Wikipedia to help level the playing field for intelligent design? Today, host Andrew McDiarmid begins a conversation with mathematician and philosopher Dr. William Dembski to address the relationship between AI and ID. In recent years, Dr. Dembski has been putting LLMs through their paces to see if they can accurately and fairly discuss and portray intelligent design arguments and concepts. Here, Dembski discusses what he discovered as he used various methods to interrogate these complex algorithms. This is Part 1 of a two-part conversation. Look for Part 2 in a separate episode.

In this episode, the boys look back at the MLS All-Star Game and the recent clash between Nashville SC and San Diego with a little help from the Bard himself.  It may not have been totally worth it to stay up late on Friday night to catch the game, but there were some terrific concerts worth going to this weekend instead.  And while the boys show a lot of love for Joe Willis, they've got bones to pick with MLS ownership for their greed and general disinterest in the game of soccer.  But that's okay, because Nashville is still having a great season, and the boys express the joy of 2025 through poetry before offering up some incredibly spicy (and slightly uncomfortable) takes about Walker Zimmerman's starting role.  Finally, the boys look ahead to the friendly match against Aston Villa.  Ryan is torn between two of his favorite teams, but in the end, they're all rooting for the gold and blue.  And they drink beer.

Emerson brings his signature intensity to a chilling reading of the king's guilt-laden soliloquy from Act 3 Scene 3 — “O, my offense is rank, it smells to heaven” — illuminating the psychological depth and moral ambiguity of one of the Bard's most enigmatic villains. Together, they unpack the emotional weight and political cunning embedded in the text, offering rich insights into performance, motivation, and the enduring relevance of Shakespeare's work.

En France, 39% de la population utilise désormais l'intelligence artificielle générative au quotidien (ARCEP/BVA 2025).Mais à quel prix pour nos liens sociaux, notre identité et notre planète ? Face à cette rupture technologique, Soluble(s) a ouvert son micro à Maxime Derian, anthropologue du numérique et entrepreneur IA basé au Luxembourg, pour décrypter les mutations en cours et esquisser des pistes de maîtrise collective.L'anthropologue Maxime Derian qualifie l'IA d'outil "totalement inédit dans l'humanité", questionnant son impact sur notre identité via l'usage quotidien de "prothèses cognitives" comme les IA génératives. Il alerte sur une "servitude volontaire numérique", où l'efficacité masque une profonde transformation de notre être.Il souligne l'illusion d'empathie créée par l'IA, racontant comment Bard s'est adapté à son langage, créant une "forme d'homophilie" troublante. La machine, dénuée d'intériorité, singe parfaitement les émotions, soulevant des questions sur l'authenticité des relations, cruciales pour les plus vulnérables.Maxime Derian exprime une "urgence absolue" concernant les enfants et adolescents, avec 12% des ados français confiant des informations intimes aux chatbots. Il craint que l'IA ne devienne "constituant de sa psyché" pour l'enfant, altérant son développement social et émotionnel, habitué à une "empathie" artificielle. C'est pourquoi il s'est allié à Everyone.ai pour lancer la coalition "iRAISE", visant à établir des garde-fous pour un développement numérique sain des plus jeunes.Face à ces défis, il prône le "Technoréalisme", une approche mesurée pour débattre des limites à instaurer et promouvoir des IA locales et souveraines, essentielles pour ne pas être "acculturés".Juriste de formation, il propose une "troisième branche du droit français" dédiée à l'IA, un droit algo-constitutionnel intégrant les règles juridiques directement dans la programmation pour une régulation fine des pratiques à risques.Il identifie l'environnement comme "le problème principal" de l'IA, dont la consommation énergétique colossale due à son succès menace nos ressources finies. La solution réside dans l'efficience et une utilisation raisonnée. Enfin, il pointe la dépendance européenne aux clouds américains et le "réveil tardif" mais nécessaire de l'Europe face aux risques de souveraineté numérique.Maxime Derian articule sa feuille de route autour de quatre limites essentielles : environnementales, cognitives, juridiques et économiques, pour reprendre le contrôle de notre avenir numérique.Écoutez cet échange passionnant.

It seems like every season of 'The Bear' is subject to more scrutiny and analysis than any play by The Bard himself,  Shakespeare. Every scene and every character's persona is being sifted through like cake flour. So like many serious eaters I know, I got hooked on the Bear. I have binge-watched all four seasons, including the latest, which I watched in two sittings. On a previous episode of Special Sauce I discussed the first season of 'The Bear' with Kenji Lopez-Alt and The New Yorker's Helen Rosner. As food writers, and in Kenji's case as someone who's cooked in restaurants like the one depicted in the series, they offered invaluable perspective. And though I have been devouring all the informed takes on season 4, one struck me as being particularly incisive and just spot on. That one is by James Poniewozik, the chief TV critic of The New York Times which means according to his NYT bio, that he has the largest beat in the world. And that beat now includes joining the conversation on Special Sauce.  Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

In this episode, we explore the provocative Atlantic article that reignited the theory that Shakespeare may have been a woman — possibly Emilia Bassano — and the heated responses that followed.

Episode 158 - Using Videotaped Deposition Clips in Openings and Closings

In this episode, Jim Garrity argues for more frequent videotaping of depositions, especially those of parties and witnesses likely to be unavailable at trial. The reason? Unlike live witnesses - who are generally called once in trial - videotaped testimony can be played two or more times. This technique utilizes one of the most effective tools of persuasion ever invented, repetition, borrowed straight from Madison Avenue, where repetition is everything. Clips played during the trial, during closing, and sometimes in opening by consent or court order, allow you to essentially present the same witness and testimony multiple times. This kind of repetition isn't possible with live witnesses, and is far superior to reading deposition transcripts to the jury. In a world where people are accustomed to getting their information through video, reading a transcript of testimony is likely to test your jurors' attention span (and patience). Garrity discusses a UCLA professor's "7-38-55 rule" to underscore the point. The gist of this rule is that when people communicate, only 7% of the message is conveyed through words, 38% through tone and voice, and a whopping 55% through body language. That's what makes the presentation of deposition testimony by video clips so powerful. Listen in!SHOW NOTESSmith, et al. v. City of Chicago, etc., Case No. 21-cv-1159, 2025 WL 1744919 (N. D. Ill.

When live performance shut down during the COVID-19 pandemic, actors Sam Crane and Mark Oosterveen weren't sure when—or if—they'd ever be onstage again. So, they turned to an unexpected venue: Grand Theft Auto Online, a sprawling, open-world video game best known for fast cars, chaotic and often criminal missions, and player-driven mayhem. Amid the game's unpredictable violence, they decided to stage Hamlet—it would be the first ever complete performance of a Shakespeare play within a video game. Filmmaker Pinny Grylls joined them and turned the experiment into a documentary: Grand Theft Hamlet. Shot entirely within the game, the film won the Grand Jury Award for Best Documentary Feature at the 2024 SXSW Film Festival. “A startling example of using any tools at your disposal to make memorable art,” said the Rotten Tomatoes website. “Grand Theft Hamlet's experimental approach does justice by the Bard.” In this episode, Crane and Grylls talk about performance, friendship, and grief during lockdown, as well as how one of Shakespeare's most famous plays unexpectedly resonated with a virtual cast of strangers and a world in isolation. The result is both funny and poignant, and as surprising as live theater itself. From the Shakespeare Unlimited podcast. Published July 1, 2025. © Folger Shakespeare Library. All rights reserved.
