Isaiah 25 is divided into three parts. In the center is a festive banquet (Isa. 25:6–8). On either side is a song. The first is sung by a solitary singer, doubtless Isaiah himself (Isa. 25:1–5); the second is a communal song of praise (Isa. 25:9–12).At the feast (Isa. 25:6–8) the food is the finest, and free—“a feast of rich food for all peoples.” The “shroud” or “sheet” that “covers all nations” (Isa. 25:7) is death itself, the result of the curse mentioned in the preceding chapter. This feast is a celebration because God “will swallow up death forever” (Isa. 25:8). Indeed, all the results of the curse will be obliterated: “The Sovereign LORD will wipe away the tears from all faces” (Isa. 25:8; compare Rev. 21). Indeed, the blessings depicted in this verse are secured by Jesus (see Luke 14:15–24), who vanquishes death (1 Cor. 15:25–26, 51–57; 2 Tim. 1:10). This feast is for “all peoples” (Isa. 25:6)—another of the many Isaianic prefigurings of the universal application of the Gospel—yet they must come to “this mountain” (Isa. 25:7); for salvation, as Jesus insists to the Samaritan woman, is “from the Jews” (John 4:22). When Isaiah adds that God will remove the disgrace of “his people” from all the earth, the reference is slightly ambiguous: this may be a reference to Israel, or it may be a reference to those drawn from “all peoples” who truly prove to be his people on the last day.The song of the lone singer (Isa. 25:1–5) abounds in exuberant praise to God because he is perfectly faithful. This faithfulness is demonstrated both in the devastating judgments he has brought about and in God’s perennial care for the poor and needy (Isa. 25:4). In short, God is praised for the faithful justice of his judgments. The final communal song (Isa. 25:9–12) finds God’s people collectively praising him: “Surely this is our God; we trusted in him, and he saved us” (Isa. 25:9). But here, too, the inverse activity of God is to be praised: God has brought judgment on those full of pride. Moab is singled out as an example of such waywardness. So at the end, there will be two communities: God’s people at the festal banquet where God himself is host and death is destroyed; and the utterly proud, who will not bend the knee but whom God brings down “to the very dust” (Isa. 25:12). One commentator (Barry G. Webb) writes, “Either repentance will bring you to the feast or pride will keep you away, and the consequences will be unsullied joy or unspeakably terrible judgment. The alternatives which the Gospel sets before us are as stark as that.” This podcast is designed to be used alongside TGC's Read The Bible initiative (TGC.org/readthebible). The podcast features devotional commentaries from D.A. Carson’s book For the Love of God (vol. 2) that follow the M’Cheyne Bible reading plan.

Sorry for the delayed episode this week! If you follow me on Instagram or Twitter, you may have seen that I went to DC Podfest. And the first day I was there, I woke up with the beginnings of a cold. Luckily, I was able to get a hold of a bottle of Zicam fairly quickly and stave off the cold for a few days … until I got home. And then, it hit. This week has been a bit of a fever dream for me, but it made me start to wonder about some of the things we say when we're sick and the origins, so get ready for a bit of an etymology episode. But as long as there have been humans, humans have been getting sick, and many of these idioms carry a lot of unverifiable history with them.

If you follow @StoryBehindPod on Instagram, you may have seen that I went to Boston last weekend for the Sound Education conference at Harvard University to be on a panel with other history podcasters that included Liz Covart from Ben Franklin's World, Patrick Wyman from Tides of History, and David Stenhouse from BackStory. I respect these podcasters greatly and it was such an honor to be in the same room as them. Because my travel schedule is pretty hectic this month, I only stayed in Boston for one day so I didn't get to experience anything outside of Harvard and the train station, but if you've ever been to Boston, you know that it seems there's history on every street. I got to hang out with Chris Nesi from The House of #EdTech podcast while I was there and he suggested I do an episode relating to Boston. Since any history regarding Boston would be a huge undertaking, I wanted to pick something a little more obscure, but still very much Boston-related.

This is a very special episode of The Story Behind. Believe it or not, two years ago I pressed Publish on the first three episodes of this podcast, The Story Behind the Theremin, The Story Behind Dry Ice, and The Story Behind Sugar Skulls. This podcast was supposed to be a side-project for me. It was supposed to just take up a little of my time, so I could continue my hobby of podcasting while holding a full-time job and when I was pregnant with my son. That's what it was supposed to be. But in the two years since the show began, it took on more. It became my favorite distraction. It allowed me to geek out over things I never had a reason to learn otherwise. And it kept my brain from going to complete mush with pregnancy brain and post-partum brain. Plus, it led me to a career in podcasting and finally, it became the basis for The Story Behind book. Now, after last year's one-year and 100th episode special of The Story Behind The Musical, which was sung, I knew it would take a lot to top that for this year's episode. In fact, it's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you. There's nothing that a 100 episodes or more could ever do. I'm your host, Emily Prokop, and this is The Story Behind “Africa” by Toto.

If you're a parent who has even been on Pinterest and looked for activities for your child, you've probably seen at least a dozen different recipes for modeling clay or sensory dough, as it's sometimes called. Most of the recipes are different variations on the mixture of flour, water and salt dough I remember using to make Christmas ornaments. So, one morning this week, I was searching for a recipe for my son. I spent a good 20 minutes making it, mixing in different colors, getting just the right proportions of flour to water to coconut oil so it wouldn't stick to my hands or leave a greasy mess, only to have my son pick it up, drop it on the cat, and decide he was done with it. 20 minutes of making it, only to have it covered in cat hair after a minute or so. After all that, I threw away the dough I had made and added today's topic to the shopping list partially because it was easier to keep in the house and more convenient. I'm your host, Emily Prokop, and this is The Story Behind Play-Doh. Find out more about The Story Behind Book!

If you're listening to this episode when it comes out, you may know that The Story Behind book will be released on Monday, October 15th. In the spirit of that, I'll be doing a few episodes revolving around books. This topic seemed almost too easy to cover, since the invention was something I think we all remember learning about in grammar school. But, as per usual with this podcast and the book, whenever I dig a little deeper, I always find out new information that wasn't in my history books. While those books were most likely printed using modern-day printers, there wouldn't even have been widespread use of books without today's topic in the first place. I'm your host, Emily Prokop, and this is The Story Behind the Printing Press. I'll be releasing a separate episode with a book update, plus a sneak peek into the book's acknowledgments because I really want to thank everyone, not just in the book, but also in the podcast, so check your podcast app and the show notes for that link.

School picture time is here and every time I get my daughter ready for her picture, I try not to follow current trends too much. I have this fear she'll have the same experience I had in 1990 when my mom decided to go all out with my school picture and not only give me a big enough pinafore on my dress that it could double as a wind sail on a small boat, but she also teased my bangs and hair so much that I remember the photographer moving his camera back to get the full look.

I honestly didn't think I would be as interested in the history of today's topic when I first started reading about it. There was a lot of chemistry involved and anyone who knew me in high school knows that was the worst subject for me. When you listen to the episode, you'll notice I kept the chemistry aspect to a minimum. But as I kept researching, what intrigued me the most was when the chemistry switched to biology and women's studies toward the end, when working conditions for those making today's subject resulted in a serious epidemic and women went on strike to protect themselves and other workers.

For us in the Northern Hemisphere, the summer is pretty much reaching the end. And, as a parent, I'm pretty happy about that because it means my daughter is back in school. But before we start talking about Pumpkin Spice-everything and the holiday season, here's one last hurrah.

If you haven't pre-ordered your copy yet, you can find the book on Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com. Now, believe it or not, there are a lot of books with “The Story Behind” in the title, so people have said searching The Story Behind with my name works well. Or, the super easy way is to go to TheStoryBehindBook.com and click the links over there. By the way, the more people order the book, the more the price will go down, and when you pre-order on Amazon, you won't be charged until the day it releases, so the more people you share this news with, the more the price will go down. And, one more thing, I was told by my publisher to let people know that if you are an Amazon Associates member, you can make an affiliate link to the book on Amazon and share the link with your audience on your blog or website to receive a little kickback when people purchase it using your link. Anyway, thank you to everyone who has been promoting the book so far. You are all amazing and it's meant the world to me that fellow podcasters and listeners have been some of my biggest supporters. This really is one of the best communities in the world. So, thank you! ---- Find out more about The Story Behind Book! Check out Emily's other podcast, Hate to Weight!

Today I'm doing a collaborative show with Josh Hallmark from the podcast Our Americana, which explores unique small towns across America through the stories that impact, cultivate, and challenge community. America can feel oppressive. Every day it feels more and more like pieces of it are disappearing. That it's losing its value. But … there are monuments and mementos of the past if we just take a moment from our busy lives to take a look. Strange reminders of small victories, new life, love stories, and the strength of community. These stories are all around us, relics of station wagon days, on the highways and gravel roads that connect us all. It's easy to dismiss them as icons of capitalism; if you build it, they will come, and buy. But, there's always something more there, something deeper.

One of my favorite things about doing this podcast is looking at things in everyday life and wondering if they still have the same purpose they did when they were invented. This week's subject is a bit ambiguous. It's most notably known for bringing a pop of color and whimsy to an otherwise drab suit, but aside from that, it's more seen as form over function. Yet it's so ubiquitous and has been around for hundreds of years, showing no signs of going out of fashion, despite many men counting down the minutes until they can loosen theirs every day.

If you've ever read Edgar Allan Poe's “The Tell-Tale Heart,” you may hear a heartbeat as something a little creepy. Although it's funny to note that on many sound machines for babies, a heartbeat is offered as a way to help them remember one of the sounds they heard in the womb. However, for doctors, the sound of a heartbeat can tell an awful lot about a person. It's one of the first things they listen to during a physical exam. It's also one of the first things an OB-GYN looks for and, later in the pregnancy, listens to for a pregnant woman. While listening to the heart isn't new in the world of medicine, one of the most common tools for doing so is only a little more than 200 years old. I'm your host, Emily Prokop, and this is The Story Behind The Stethoscope. Find out more about The Story Behind Book! Check out Emily's other podcast, Hate to Weight!

Earlier this week, one of the funniest exchanges on social media came about after the company known as IHOP changed out their P, which stood for Pancakes, to a B. Initially, no one knew what the B stood for. International House of Breakfast? International House of Bacon? International House of Brunch, complete with mimosas? Nope. The B stood for Burgers, something IHOP has offered on its menu in the past, but when they finally revealed what the mystery was, they also decided to change their marketing to reflect that. And people were bittersweet about the change, including some of the other fast-food social media accounts, with Wendy's even throwing shade on their Twitter account, saying, “Can't wait to try a burger from the place that decided pancakes were too hard.” So, that gave me the idea for this week's episode. And, by the way, the change from IHOP to IHOB is only a temporary marketing campaign. I'm your host, Emily Prokop, and this is The Story Behind Hamburgers. Find out more about The Story Behind Book!

I am pleased to have worked with Win from the podcast Ask Win for this episode and I'm going to let her introduce it. When Win first talked to me about doing an episode in conjunction with Cerebral Palsy Awareness month, which was in March, many of the articles and stories I read were about people with Cerebral Palsy who were amazing athletes competing in the Paralympics. Through that rabbit hole, I discovered Dr. Guttmann and the BBC movie “The Best of Men,” which is an incredible feel-good movie, if you get a chance to watch it. I'm your host, Emily Prokop, and this is The Story Behind The Paralympics. Special thanks, again to Win from the podcast Ask Win for her introduction and inspiration for this episode.

One of my favorite movies I feel doesn't get enough love is Romy & Michele's High School reunion, starring Mira Sorvino and Lisa Kudrow as two 20-somethings who realize their 10-year high school reunion is coming up and begin to transform their lives so they can go back and impress their former classmates. They come up with a story of inventing something they think no one will question them on -- this movie came out in 1997, before we all had tiny computers in our pockets to fact check these things. The product they choose is the subject of today's episode, which, spoiler alert, was not invented by Romy or Michele. I'm your host, Emily Prokop, and this is The Story Behind Post-It Notes.

Today's topic came about in 1928, and in the span of time since then, many things have been said to be the greatest thing since its invention. The more I read about it, and how easy it made people's lives, the more I realize the idiom about how great it is isn't too far off the mark. Because of this topic, sandwiches were made faster, toasters increased in sales and became a common wedding present, and breakfasts became easier to make on the fly. I'm your host, Emily Prokop, and this is The Story Behind Sliced Bread. The snippet from Time Magazine was read by Harriet Morris from the podcast Eating Coach, and who is, funnily enough, working with me to help me make healthier choices that don't always include sliced bread.

Hey there! Remember me? Yup, The Story Behind is finally back after a hiatus I did not expect would be as long as it has. Here's the short version of what happened and why it was so long, and I promise this has everything to do with today's topic. I started editing and writing show notes for other podcasts on the side before I found out in October that I was going to be let go from my full-time job. When I found that out, it was the week I was gearing up for episode 100, so on top of learning a musical number, I also made the decision to turn helping people with their podcasts into a full-time business in the new year. So, I spent the majority of my time creating E Podcast Productions, and if you're interested in learning more about that, you can visit the website at EPodcastProductions.com, but you're here to learn some history, right? Besides for those who are new to The Story Behind and are listening to the back catalog, it's like I never left. Although, none of this would be possible had it not been for the subject of today's episode. I'm your host, Emily Prokop, and this is The Story Behind the Pink Slip.

Warning: If you usually listen to this podcast at a faster speed, singing will be used and this might be a good time to slow your podcast player down. If you've been with me from the very beginning, you know every so often I like to thrown in a little singing now and then. I try to deny being a theater person, but I secretly am. The theater bug bites me every so often and I want to be in a show again. And not just any show. I was brought up listening to Rodgers & Hammerstein, singing along with Julie Andrews and Bernadette Peters, and had it not been for my lack of grace when it comes to dancing, I probably would have pursued it more. But, now that I have a podcast, and I wanted to celebrate the 100 episodes by doing something special, and no one has to see my bad coordination. I'm your host, Emily Prokop, and this is The Story Behind: The Musical! Originally, I had a song for this episode's promo, but I decided to record this straight instead. I just wanted to thank everyone who has supported the show. I'm really proud of not only making it to 100 episodes, but also the one year anniversary of The Story Behind. And many of you have been there from the beginning. Thank you for joining the The Story Behind Facebook Group, Liking the Story Behind Facebook page, following @storybehindpod on Twitter and Instagram, becoming executive producers by supporting the show on Patreon.com, sending notes, emails, DMs of encouragement, retweeting, commenting, telling your friends … really, you guys are the lifeblood of this podcast to keep it going. There's going to be some exciting things planned for this podcast and myself and I can't wait to share it with you all. So here's to another 100 and another year of The Story Behind. Oh, and if you're an executive producer of The Story Behind, you can hear the original song I recorded for the promo by going to Patreon.com/TheStoryBehind. LYRICS This is the story all about the modern major musical The history's quite large and certain facts might be disputable It started back in Greece where many theaters were acoustical The middle ages brought them back with church and tra-ve-ling minstrels The 17- and 18-hundreds' shows were quite satirical Though op-er-a quite serious the musicals were comical The views expressed may not have always suited those imperial But entertainment wins and they continued to be fash'niable. With names like Strauss and Offenbach they spread fast geographical They hit the U.S.A. and folks enjoyed a bit of Vaud-eh-ville The history's quite large and certain facts might be disputable This is the story all about the modern major musical Burlesque, we will not cover because this podcast is for all ears But just to note this was a part of musicals for several years Extravaganzas, Pantomimes and farces were all met with cheers The theater thrived and fattened wallets of investing financiers Broadway emerged as the grand force to rule all things theatrical And stage revues like Zeigfeild's Follies drew crowds international In 1919 unions forced their contracts with a picket line The ‘20s saw Cole Porter, Hart and Rodgers and then Hammerstein The Great Depression didn't keep the musicals from going down But actors moved out west to Hollywood for movies now with sound The history's quite large and certain facts might be disputable This is the story all about the modern major musical The people went to movies to escape thoughts of the second war The musicals were loved and records flew off shelves at music stores The decades passed and rock and roll soon stepped on music theater's toes But Sondheim came and introduced the people to his concept shows The trend revived and musicals came back strong like they were before The audiences clamored for Andrew Lloyd Webber's epic scores And now our favorite movies-turned-to-musicals all do quite well And history has sold out crowds with R&B by Lin-Manuel. For episode 100 I came up with doing musicals I hope you learned a bit and all my rhymes weren't inexcusable The history's quite large and certain facts might be disputable This is the story all about the modern major musical!  *** Join The Story Behind Discussion Group on Facebook!

I should probably apologize in advance for today's topic, since last week's episode The Story Behind Lollipops got Shirley Temple and The Chordettes stuck in the heads of a few listeners. I promise I won't play the theme song to the candy bar I'll be talk about in this episode, but if it gets stuck in your head anyway, you're not alone.

I thought I knew the story behind this candy bar before researching it, but it turns out, there was more layers to this story than I originally thought. You know how in Shrek, there's the line “Ogres are like onions,” equating their personalities with that of the layers in an onion? Well, the story behind this episode's topic is broken down into layers, as well, which is convenient since the candy bar, itself, is layered with nougat, peanuts, caramel and finally chocolate.

From crime dramas to magic acts to "50 Shades of Grey," today's topic is known around the world, although there are restrictions in place depending on the country about how a person is displayed with them. France, for example, prohibits the media from showing pictures of people with them until they've been convicted. Those being restrained with the device in Hong Kong are offered head coverings for anonymity. And in Japan, a person's hands may be blurred in photographs if they're wearing them. Normally when I have to make a disclaimer for episodes, they involve content that may not be suitable for all ages. But this episode's disclaimer is a bit different.

Barry G is the "Boogeyman" down in JA. Barry G is also Barrington Seymour Gordon a sophisticated Jamaican radio announcer since 1975. He has worked at JBC, RJR, Power 106, Hot 102, KLAS, and nows hosts an afternoon slot at Mello Fm 88.5 Barry G is also known for his work with Yellowman in the early 1980s, which helped to boost Yellowman into the international market. This podcast features Barry G's work with England's David Rodigan as well as Barry G's own sound system - Wha Dat Sound. Barry and Rodigan had radio clashes during the period 1983-1989 in JA and performed a series of shows throughout Jamaica. Years later they hosted a huge show in New York City. These "radio clashes" (as Ricky Trooper would call them) were a phenomenon. We hipe that this podcast captures a fraction of that excitement and as a result you may get hooked! Calling all ReggaeMusicLovinPeople!

It was a hot afternoon with an electrical storm. You can hear the electrical interference over the radio waves during the show. So, sit back and imagine that you are listening to YOUR radio in Jamaica in the year 1990 and enjoying the Boogeyman! **Soon come - A Barry G special with interviews, Wha Dat sound selections, and radio clashes between Barry and Rodigan!

As promised a podcast committed to 1980's Dancehall. Many of the tunes are accompanied by artiste interviews, most of which were recorded in the 1980's. A couple are a bit poor in quality, but that much more precious. This is one of my favorite periods of Jamaican music and we hope you enjoy it! *There's more where this came from!
