Podcasts about Ludwig van Beethoven

We meet young musicians from all over the country, from South Carolina to California. A 17-year-old cellist fulfills a childhood dream to be on From the Top and kicks off the program with a gorgeous Beethoven piece. We also hear a beautiful Chopin Nocturne, a Barber Sonata played by a teen flutist, and a young mandolin player shows off her gorgeous new instrument (funded by her Jack Kent Cooke Young Artist Award) with a performance of Bach.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

In his second appearance on Anthony Plog on Music, celebrated biographer and composer Jan Swafford returns for an expansive two-part conversation that dives deep into the very soul of classical music. In his previous interview from 2021, Jan discussed his monumental biographies of Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, and Ives. But his intellectual and creative output extends far beyond those volumes, and this new set of interviews explores more of his wide-ranging contributions to the world of music.In Part 1, the focus turns to Jan's book Language of the Spirit: An Introduction to Classical Music, a refreshingly vivid and often personal guide to the history of Western music. The discussion begins with a few select quotes that set the tone for Swafford's engaging style—an approach that never shies away from humor, insight, or imagination. Along the way, Tony and Jan take an unexpected detour into a blog post imagining a conversation between Mozart and Picasso's Guernica. As the conversation returns to the content of Language of the Spirit, the two explore key aspects of the Baroque period, including figured bass and the challenges of intonation. The episode concludes with a discussion of three of Jan's own compositions—They That Mourn, Late August, First Snow, and River—offering a glimpse into his creative voice as a composer.Part 2 picks up right where they left off, continuing the discussion of the Baroque with special attention to the genius of Bach and the dramatic flair of Händel. This naturally leads into a thoughtful debate on performance practice, particularly the tension between historically informed performances (HIP) and modern approaches. Jan brings his signature candor and wit to the conversation, questioning what authenticity really means and whether the HIP movement sometimes overreaches. The episode closes on a memorable note, as Jan describes the extraordinary experience of holding the original manuscripts of Mozart's Marriage of Figaro and Brahms's German Requiem in his hands. And in true Swafford fashion, he promises to return again—next time, to tackle the Classical era through to the present day.DoricoProfessional music notation and composition software from Steinberg.

En el año 1824, Beethoven dirigió el estreno de su Novena Sinfonía en Viena. Para ese momento, ya estaba completamente sordo. Cuando la pieza terminó, el público estalló en una ovación de pie. Sin embargo, Beethoven seguía de espaldas, sin poder escuchar nada. Una de las solistas se acercó y lo giró suavemente para que viera los aplausos. Solo entonces comprendió lo que había logrado. Su historia está documentada en biografías oficiales y cartas personales. ¿Por qué? Simplemente porque compuso una de las obras más influyentes de la historia sin poder escucharla. Así también, muchas veces tú estás sembrando, obedeciendo o sirviendo sin ver los frutos. Sigues escribiendo, pero no “oyes” los aplausos. Enseñas, oras, das… y parece que nada pasa. Pero el cielo sí está de pie. Dios te invita a seguir componiendo tu obediencia, aunque no veas los resultados inmediatos, porque Él escucha lo que el mundo aún no aplaude. Así que, no vivas para el reconocimiento humano. Vive para el “bien, buen siervo y fiel”. La Biblia dice en Hebreos 6:10: “Porque Dios no es injusto para olvidar vuestra obra y el trabajo de amor que habéis mostrado hacia su nombre...” (RV1960).

CONTENT WARNING: Discussion of homophobia, sexual assault, spousal abuse. This week's movie may not be the gayest movie ever but it's certainly one of the most famous. The star power here is off the charts, with two absolute bona fide movie stars and a perfect up and comer as our three gorgeous, fabulous, out of this world drag queens. Unfortunately the movie seems to think that ultimately we need less time with the queens and more time with a small town looking for help. It's a mistake, and one that keeps the movie from being in the ultimate pantheon. But my, what a magic fairy-dust ride it is.

Spurensuche zu Beethovens rätselhaftem Ohrwurm: War es Liebe? Ein Irrtum? Oder gar ein Fake? Die Geschichte beginnt am 14.7.1865 mit der Kopie eines Notenblatts. Von Holger Noltze.

Dando continuidade à série especial sobre a amizade, este segundo episódio do podcast filosófico da Nova Acrópole do Brasil propõe uma reflexão profunda sobre esse nobre vínculo humano. Os professores Danilo Gomes e Marcelo Silveira exploram a amizade à luz das obras de grandes pensadores como Platão, Aristóteles, Cícero e Khalil Gibran. Mais do que afinidades circunstanciais ou interesses passageiros, a verdadeira amizade se revela como um caminho de crescimento interior e compartilhado. É por meio dela que os seres humanos podem exercitar a excelência moral – a Arethe – segundo os ensinamentos da tradição filosófica clássica. A conversa aborda aspectos essenciais da amizade, como o cuidado mútuo, a liberdade, a franqueza, a adaptabilidade, e sobretudo, a veracidade consigo mesmo. Os filósofos destacam que somente ao cultivar uma relação genuína com o outro é possível vivenciar os frutos dessa jornada que conduz à virtude, à alegria e à fraternidade. A amizade filosófica, como destacam os autores citados, é alicerçada na busca do bem comum, na possibilidade da advertência construtiva e no compromisso recíproco de se tornar melhor, sempre com generosidade e autenticidade. Participantes: Danilo Gomes e Marcelo Silveira Trilha Sonora: Piano Sonata nº 17 em Ré Menor, Opus 31 – Beethoven

Lord Alf Dubs is a Labour peer and former MP. He came to the UK from Prague in 1939 on one of the Kindertransport trains organised by Sir Nicholas Winton which rescued mostly Jewish children from Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia.Alf was born in Prague in 1932. His father was from a Jewish background and was brought up in what was then Northern Bohemia while his mother came from Austria. His father left Prague for London as soon as the Nazis invaded Czechoslovakia in March 1939. In June, when he was six-years-old, Alf was put on a Kindertransport train, arriving at Liverpool Street station two days later where he was met by his father. His mother eventually joined them in London the day before war broke out. Alf studied Politics and Economics at the London School of Economics and was elected as the Member of Parliament for Battersea South in May 1979. He lost his seat in 1987 and the following year he was appointed director of the Refugee Council, becoming the first refugee to head up the charity.In March 2016 Alf tabled an amendment to the 2016 Immigration Act (known as the Dubs Amendment) which asked the Government to accept 3,000 unaccompanied refugee children into the UK. The amendment passed but the Government closed the scheme the following year after accepting 480 children.In 2016 Alf received the Humanist of the Year award by Humanists UK of which he is also a patron. In 2021 his Czech citizenship was restored making him the first Czech-British member of the House of Lords.DISC ONE: It's Easy To Remember (Take 4) - John Coltrane Quartet DISC TWO: Smetana: Má Vlast, JB1:112: 2.

CONTENT WARNING: Discussion of suicide and suicidal ideation. While presented in a lighthearted manner, listener discretion is advised. If you are experiencing a mental health crisis or experiencing suicidal thoughts, please call or text 988 for help. Savage Steve Holland probably never contemplated his cartoons and wacky sense of humor would result in him making a true cult teen classic, but that's exactly what happened. John Cusack is just starting to find his path to the ultra-awkward teen of our dreams, and his supporting cast is pretty fun to boot. But mostly, the bits just keep on coming and just when you think a joke is overdone, a new one pops up in its place. We want our two dollars as we watch 1985's Better Off Dead on Have a Good Movie!

Otto Weininger, at the age of 23, published Sex and Character, an idealist justification for not trusting the cosmic Woman, as well as an extended rumination on genius, sexual compatibility, Judaism, memory, ethics, and logic, all upon the background of his sexual fears. Shortly after the book's tepid critical reception, including accusations of plagiarism, Weininger rented a room in the building where Beethoven died. Here, he shot himself in the chest, gaining himself a number of posthumous admirers, including August Strindberg and Ludwig Wittgenstein.Joining me for this episode is the woman of many talents (but no Genius), Nina Power.Nina's Substack: https://substack.com/@ninapowerNina on X: https://x.com/Nina_Power_VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATIONJack has published a novel called Tower!Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Tower-Jack-BC-ebook/dp/B0CM5P9N9M/ref=monarch_sidesheetThe first nine chapters of Tower are available for free here: jackbc.substack.comOur Patreon: www.patreon.com/TheBookClubfromHellJack's Substack: jackbc.substack.comLevi's website: www.levioutloud.comwww.thebookclubfromhell.comJoin our Discord (the best place to interact with us): discord.gg/ZMtDJ9HscrWatch us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0n7r1ZTpsUw5exoYxb4aKA/featuredX: @bookclubhell666Jack on X: @supersquat1Levi on X: @optimismlevi

Dame Rachel de Souza is the Children's Commissioner for England. She's the fourth person to take on this role, which was established in 2004 to promote and protect the rights of all children. Before becoming the Commissioner in 2021, she worked as a teacher and headteacher, and was credited with improving failing schools in less than privileged areas. In her current post, she's said that her priority is to listen to children, to hear about their lives and champion their voices – and she's focused on big and difficult questions, including mental health, online safety and the strip-searching of children by the police. Rachel's music includes Handel, Tippett, Messiaen and Beethoven.

Er gilt als musikalischer „Papa“ von Mozart und Beethoven, wird aber ständig vergessen: Was man über Joseph Haydn wissen muss.

14 juli 1789. Het volk in Parijs kwam in opstand en de Bastille viel. Na rebellie in Amerika kwam de revolte in Frankrijk. In de Republiek jubelden velen en bovenal de Leidse lakenfabrikant Pieter Vreede. Hij snakte naar radicale democratie en speelde een sleutelrol bij de val van Oranje-stadhouder Willem V. Pieter Vreede (1750-1837) was lang geheel vergeten. Zijn periode werd weggezet als 'de Franse tijd', een soort anti-nationale bezetting en overheersing vanuit Parijs. Maar een indrukwekkende biografie door Dirk Alkemade zorgt voor een heel nieuwe, gedurfde en uitdagende blik op die tijd met zijn politieke revoluties, hun inspiratiebronnen en de dichter, zakenman en oproerkraaier Pieter Vreede. Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger duiken met de jonge doctor in de turbulente jaren rond 1800. *** Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken.

De complete tekst plus linkjes en een overzicht van al onze eerdere afleveringen vind je hier *** De troebelen toen waren deel van omwentelingen wereldwijd. Patriotten als Vreede waren net zo vurig voor verandering als Thomas Jefferson en Benjamin Franklin in Amerika, Lafayette en Condorcet in Parijs, de jonge filosofen en dichters in Jena en Weimar en Beethoven in de muziek. Alkemade schetst de intensieve verbindingen tussen deze vernieuwingsbewegingen en hoe men succesmodellen uit elkaars revoltes overnam. In de Republiek begon de politieke crisis door een hopeloze oorlog van stadhouder Willem V tegen de Britten. Die was rampzalig voor handel, vloot en leger. In de steden broeide het verzet, mensen als Vreede gingen zich politiek én militair organiseren. In 1787 lieten de Oranjes hun zwager uit Berlijn met zijn machtig leger ingrijpen. Een hardhandige interventie van buiten. Die brute repressie was voor de rebelse geesten een beslissend moment. Toen de Franse revolutie uitbarstte en radicaliseerde waren de dagen van Willem V geteld. Met Franse steun grepen zij de macht en installeerden een heel nieuw bewind. Vreede ging dit allemaal lang niet ver genoeg. Hij schrok van de Franse pressie tot 'moderatie' en de weerklank die dat meteen kreeg bij verlichte regentenclubs. Fel trok hij van leer. Pieter Vreede werd zo de eerste radicale oppositieleider in een parlement in ons land. Zijn poëtisch vuur in debatten, zijn felle gedichten, manifesten en krantenstukken sloegen aan. Met zijn Republikeinen partij, vaak ‘Vreedianen’ genoemd, overrompelde hij de Moderaten in het parlement en hun gematigde grondwetontwerp. Een kiene campagne liet het voorstel sneuvelen in het eerste Nederlandse referendum. De politieke impasse die zo ontstond leidde tot een staatsgreep, gesteund vanuit Parijs, met behulp van corrupte betalingen. Vreede was in 1798 de sterke man van het Uitvoerend Bewind. Zijn vijanden noemden hem 'de Hollandse Robespierre' en zijn zuiveringen in het overheidsapparaat riepen die vileine analogie ook wel op. Alkemade vertelt vol adembenemende details over Vreedes daadkrachtige aanpak, waarin een beetje Lenin en een vleugje Mao school. Tot bloedvergieten kwam het overigens nooit. Hij slaagde erin een radicaaldemocratische Grondwet door te drukken, de Staatsregeling voor het Bataafse Volk. Ook agendeerde Vreede met hartstocht de afschaffing van de slavernij. De oude Republiek met zijn Zeven Provinciën en hun eeuwenoud particularisme werd afgeschaft, een sterk uniform bewind doorgevoerd (met voor het eerst een gelijkwaardige rol voor Brabant). De politieke discussies van deze jaren zijn dan ook sterk beïnvloed door die Amerika en voor het Europa van nu verrassend actueel. De radicale zuiveringen ontlokten fel verzet. Na een half jaar werd Vreedes bewind door een tegencoup afgezet. De Fransen drongen aan op 'amnestie' en niet te veel afrekeningen, ook om de corrupte rol van Parijse machthebbers zoveel toe te dekken. Vreedes macht was voorgoed voorbij. Alkemade laat zien hoe verrassend en diep de impact van zijn werk niettemin bleef. Na 1801 was de radicaliteit gesaneerd, regenten en hun netwerken en ook de Oranjes keerden terug. Maar het staatsbestel bleef fundamenteel Vreediaans. Ook Thorbecke bouwde er bewust op voort. Vreedes idealen van radicale democratie en afschaffing van slavernij kregen daarbij overigens geen kans. Met nota bene antirevolutionairen als Abraham Kuyper en linkse bewegingen als die van Domela Nieuwenhuis en Pieter Jelles Troelstra kwamen zulke ideeën pas weer op in de jaren 1880. En pas vanaf 1919 – met het algemeen vrouwenkiesrecht – Was Vreedes droom ten volle gerealiseerd. *** Verder lezen Dirk Alkemade - Radicale democratie.

Beethoven once wrote to his publisher: “What is difficult, is also beautiful, good, great, and so forth. Hence everyone will realize that this is the most lavish praise that can be bestowed, since what is difficult makes one sweat.” If this credo manifests itself most powerfully in any one of Beethoven's works, it might be the piece we'll talk about today, the piano Sonata Op. 106, nicknamed, “Hammerklavier.”  It is the longest Sonata Beethoven ever wrote, which essentially means that it was the longest sonata anyone had written up to that point. It marks one of the pivot points between Beethoven's so-called heroic period and his late period, where his music became even more cosmically beautiful than before. It is certainly his most ambitious Sonata to that point, and his most difficult. The scale of the Hammerklavier sonata is hard to describe; in around 45 minutes of music, Beethoven explores the full gamut of human emotion. The intensity, the difficulty, and the concentration that this sonata requires from the pianist and listener alike has led to many people, as the pianist Andras Schiff says, to “respect and revere this Sonata, but not love it.” Most of the articles and analyses of this sonata that I found in researching this show emphasize its difficulty, its scale, its obsessiveness, and its impenetrability. But I must say that when I talk to musicians abut this piece, their eyes light up. Yes, this sonata is difficult, but what have we just learned from Beethoven? What is difficult is also beautiful, good, great and so forth. Join us as we begin a two part exploration of this remarkable work together.  Thank you to Jerry for sponsoring this show on Patreon!

"If God is good, why aren't all Christians?" Pastor Mark dives deep into this thought-provoking theme, challenging us to reflect on the concept of goodness as a vital fruit of the Spirit. Through a lively exploration of Jesus' parable of the sower, we learn about four types of soil representing different responses to God's word. Each type reveals not just the struggles individuals face in embracing faith but also the far-reaching impact of Christianity on the world—shaping dignity, compassion, and justice throughout history. Pastor Mark encourages us to see that not everyone has cultivated their understanding of faith yet, just like learning to play a complex Beethoven piece takes time; it's about growing in goodness and knowledge. He passionately invites us to become "good soil," ready to produce abundant fruit in our lives and communities.

On this episode, I'm giving a small horror TED talk about The Ugly Stepsister, directed by Emilie Blichfeldt in her directorial debut. This gothic body horror film is bloody, uncomfortable, grotesque and filled with some really dark humor. Beauty is skin deep and then some with this one. Spoiler free and rant filled.

The market lost ground on Monday as investors anxiously awaited for news on "reciprocal tariffs" to be imposed by the United States following a 90-day pause which ends on Wednesday. Market watchers say investors were nervous (緊張的) due to a lack of guidance concerning the status of tariff talks between Taiwan and the U-S. Power grid disrupted as Danas swept across Taiwan Tai-Power says electricity has been restored to over 450,000 households affected by power outages as Danas swept across Taiwan yesterday. According to the state-generator, more than 650 electricity poles and three transmission towers collapsed (倒塌) as a result of the storm. That resulted in over 710,000 households being left without power at the peak of the storm. Tai-Power says the hardest-hit areas included Chiayi city and country - which together saw more than 250,000 outages. While 190,000 households lost power in Tainan. Tai-Power says it mobilized 4,000 personnel for emergency repairs. Two women on scooter killed in knife attack in New Taipei Police in New Taipei say a man remains in custody (拘留) following the stabbing of two woman in the city's Tucheng District. According to law enforcement officials, the two women died after they were allegedly stabbed multiple times by one of the women's husbands while on a scooter. Police say the man had been following them in car prior to the stabbing. Both women were rushed by a nearby hospital, but were later pronounced dead. The suspect was arrested by police in Changhua County some three hours later. The suspect is being held in custody as prosecutors investigate whether he should be charged with murder. More than 90 dead in Texas floods as search efforts continue Search efforts are continuing for a fourth day for dozens of people still missing following flash floods in central Texas - even as more storms are forecast (預報). US correspondent Kate Fisher reports UN Resolution Against Taliban Oppression of Women and Girls The U.N. General Assembly has adopted a resolution over U.S. objections calling on Afghanistan's Taliban rulers to reverse their worsening oppression of women and girls and eliminate all terrorist organizations. The 11-page resolution also emphasizes “the importance of creating opportunities for economic recovery, development and prosperity (繁榮) in Afghanistan,” and urges donors to address the country's dire humanitarian and economic crisis. The resolution adopted Monday is not legally binding but is seen as a reflection of world opinion. The vote was 116 in favor, with two — the United States and close ally Israel — opposed, and 12 abstentions, including Russia, China, India and Iran. UAE Singing Highway A highway in the United Arab Emirates now plays Beethoven's Ninth Symphony as cars drive over special rumble strips. Known as the "Street of Music," this art project spans nearly a kilometer on the E84 highway coming into the city of Fujairah. Drivers in the right-hand lane can hear the iconic "Ode to Joy" as they drive over the rumble strips. The strips look like a larger, rectangular version of the dash lines separating the three-lane highway, and the grooves of the road combine with the speed of the vehicle to make music. The experience is a collaboration (合作) between Fujairah Fine Arts Academy and local authorities which aims to blend art with daily life. That was the I.C.R.T.

McKay shares a collection of powerful, real-world stories here today as he explores the transformative power of viewing life as a journey from one form of strength to another. From a collegiate runner's recovery after a devastating accident to the historic leadership of Abraham Lincoln and the creative genius of Beethoven, our host illustrates how our greatest weaknesses can become the catalysts for our most profound strengths.Listeners will learn to reframe challenges, setbacks, and even failures not as endpoints but as essential experiences that build resilience, empathy, and new capabilities. McKay offers practical advice on the importance of trying, seeking help, and taking small, consistent steps to move forward. Today's episode is a compelling reminder that who we are is not static; we are constantly developing, and our struggles are an integral part of that growth.Main Themes:Life is a continuous journey of moving from one developed strength to another.Weaknesses and challenges are opportunities to build new, deeper strengths.Overcoming adversity fosters resilience, empathy, and maturity.The simple act of trying, especially after failure, is a powerful catalyst for growth.Seeking help is a sign of strength, not a weakness.You can begin to change your life by doing something different today.Growth requires taking risks and stepping outside your comfort zone.Focus on doing a little more of what works and a little less of what doesn't.Top 10 Quotes:"The journey we take in this life is moving really from strength to strength.""The strength you gain in getting help and overcoming weaknesses propels you to the next level in your life.""Weaknesses that are given to us in life can help us move from strength to strength.""For when I am weak, then I am strong.""Each time you try, despite the lack of strength of the bridge or the chasm or the gaps in your life, you strengthen those bridges.""You don't have to let your past dictate your future, even if it's your recent past.""You may not have to have all the answers. Just do a little bit more of what works and a little bit less of what doesn't.""It's when we step outside our normal routine or normal circumstances that we see and grow in new ways.""Starting where you are is sometimes all you can and often all you need to do. Trying is enough.""Your talents rise and your gaps are spanned, and your weaknesses become strengths."Show Links:Open Your Eyes with McKay Christensen

DescriptionKnock Knock... It's Fate: The Four Notes That Shook the World in 60 Seconds. Take a minute to get the scoop!Fun FactDuring WWII, Allied radio broadcasts began with the da-da-da-DUM motif because its rhythm matched the Morse code for “V” (•••–), symbolizing “Victory.” Beethoven's Fifth thus became a sonic emblem of resistance—proof that four notes written in 1808 could help rally hope more than a century later.About Steven, HostSteven is a Canadian composer & actor living in Toronto.

Leddy Hammock Highlights: Inspired by lyrics to “Share the Dream of Peace” by Sue Riley, David Roth, & Jana Stanfield: “My skin may be a diff'rent shade, my language not the same. I pray in different places, I call God by different names. My clothing may not be like yours, might stand out in a crowd. But in universal Spirit, there are diff'rences allowed. We have the precious present and our presence holds the key to a world that is more loving, as we share the dream of peace. My arms embrace my children. I fall in love, I cry. I marvel at the sunset as another day goes by. But halfway ‘round the world, I know, your rain brings rainbows, too. Though we might seem so different, I am just the same as you. Imagining the future, remembering the past. Together we can co-create a vision that will last.

 Swan Songs Portland has a simple but powerful mission: to provide free, intimate concerts for people at the end of their lives and pay local musicians to perform them. The nonprofit fulfilled its first concert request last autumn when it hired a mariachi band to play for a person terminally ill with cancer, surrounded by her friends and family. It is the first affiliate of Swan Songs, which was founded in Austin, Texas 20 years ago.   Currently serving Multnomah, Washington and Clackamas Counties, SSP has nearly 50 musicians – and growing –  it can call on short notice to perform an array of requested musical styles, from Beethoven to Bob Dylan-esque folk and rock. Jim Friscia is Swan Songs Portland’s board president and concert planner. Karyn Thurston is a musician and  board member of SSP who performs with her partner, Ben Grace, in the folk music duo Story & Tune. They join us, along with Terri Burton, who had requested a concert for her dying mother that Grace performed earlier this year.

JUN. 24, 2025Called to overcome (1)"He who overcomes shall inherit all things." Rev 21:7 NKJVA pastor writes: "All of us want every day to be a good day. But if every day was a good day, there would be no 'good' days, because there wouldn't be any bad days to compare the good days to… Sickness helps us appreciate health. Failure helps us appreciate success. Debt helps us appreciate wealth. And the tough times help us appreciate the good times... Adversity is often the seedbed of opportunity [because it has] a way of bringing the best out of us... Adversity is often a blessing in disguise. We dream of zero gravity. We imagine what life would be like without any problems or issues or challenges.But from a biological perspective, zero gravity is hazardous to your health. Astronauts who spend any length of time in zero gravity experience serious medical complications.Without any resistance, they lose muscle mass and bone density, they experience high pulse rates and heart palpitations, and they can barely walk after re-entering the earth's atmosphere. We may dream of zero gravity, but what we really need is a healthy dose of adversity. The people God uses the most are often the people who have experienced the most adversity. This isn't necessarily...what you want to read, but it's true. Adversity can produce an increased capacity to serve God." Why? Because adversity causes us to turn to God, lean on God, seek God, and get to know God in a way we otherwise wouldn't. Some of God's greatest promises in Scripture begin with the words "to him who overcomes." The Bible says, "People who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits" (Da 11:32 NKJV).Called to overcome The tough times help us appreciate the good times.Called to overcome. (2)"This is the victory that has overcome the world -our faith." 1Jn 5:4 NKJVA pastor encourages us: "PsychoanalystAlfred Adler conducted a fascinating research project that popularized the theory of compensation. He studied art students and discovered that seventy percent of them suffered from optical anomalies. He found degenerative traces in the ears of great composers like Mozart and Beethoven. And he cited numerous examples of other people who eventually became successful in the area of their greatest weakness. Adler believed that birth defects, poverty, illness, and negative circumstances often prove to be the springboard for success...God wants to recycle your adversity and turn it into a ministry. People go through a painful divorce or the death of a child or a destructive addiction, but God helps them climb out of the pit so they can help others in similar circumstances. One of the most paralyzing mistakes we make is thinking that our problems somehow disqualify us from being used by God... No one rolls out the red carpet and invites tragedy into their life, but our greatest gifts and passions are often the byproduct of our worst tragedies and failures. Trials have a way of helping us rediscover our purpose in life." The problems God has brought you through become a platform upon which you can stand and minister to others."Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God" (2Co 1:3-4 NIV).Called to overcome  God wants to recycle your adversitySend us a textSupport the showChanging Lives | Building Strong Family | Impacting Our Community For Jesus Christ!

Symphonie arbeitet: ein Werk, das die Musikwelt revolutionieren wird, was zu jenem Zeitpunkt aber noch niemand weiß.

CONTENT WARNING: Discussion of gaslighting, spousal abuse, spousal murder, murder, misogyny. We're getting a little spooky this week with a slow-burn cult horror classic that dares to make its female characters complex and unique and its male characters thoroughly one-dimensional. Somehow it's the men that are utterly unbelievable for a change. That said, there's a pretty great movie to be found in among the wreckage, a fact that filmmakers 30 years later were utterly and completely unable to reconcile. People in 2004 thought that making a dark, subtle allegory for the horrors of the patriarchy into live-action Looney Tunes was a good idea, and then made it. And since we're completionists, we subjected ourselves to both. Join us as we enjoy 1975's and despair 2004's The Stepford Wives on Have a Good Movie!

En el otoño de 2014, un viernes cualquiera, Carlos Alsina y Rubén Amón (junto a David Gistau y Manuel Jabois) le robaron un rato de radio a La Brújula para hablar de otras cosas. Disertaron sobre ‘Interstellar' y de ‘Las uvas de las ira', sobre qué significa ser cultureta en un mundo (con Rajoy en el gobierno y un Felipe VI recién proclamado) en el que empezaban a abrirse paso, lentamente, las plataformas audiovisuales y los libros electrónicos. Así nació La Cultureta hace ya más de diez años, como espacio experimental, y su éxito no tardó en provocar emanciparla y establecerla como contenido independiente y reconocible, "clandestino y autoparódico".Lo celebramos, este viernes de junio de 2025, de la mano de Rubén Amón, Rosa Belmonte, Guillermo Altares y Sergio del Molino. Y lo hacemos colándonos en uno de nuestros lugares predilectos: la sala de conciertos. Junto a piano, violines, clarinetes y timbales, nos adentramos en la historia de las orquestas y sus instrumentos. Y divulgamos una de las pasiones culturetas por antonomasia: la música clásica.¿Cómo nacieron las orquestas? ¿Cómo y por qué fueron incorporando sus diferentes instrumentos y secciones? ¿Y cuáles son las historias de sus propios miembros? Indagamos en todo ello desde la Escuela Superior de Música de Madrid, donde disfrutamos de música en directo (Mozart, Beethoven, Vivaldi) bajo la batuta del director de orquesta Pablo González, con quien también hablaremos y divulgaremos nuestra pasión.

El observatorio Vera Rubin ha ofrecido sus primeras y espectaculares imágenes del firmamento. Este gigantesco telescopio, situado en Chile, está equipado con una cámara de 3.200 megapíxeles, la mayor del mundo. En solo una noche ha descubierto 2.000 asteroides, la décima parte de todos los hallados por el resto de telescopios en un año. Durante la próxima década se encargará de mapear el universo en movimiento, con una sensibilidad, escala y velocidad nunca vistas hasta el momento, abriendo una nueva era en la astronomía. Hemos entrevistado al cosmólogo Juan García-Bellido Capdevila, catedrático de Física Teórica en la Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, investigador del Instituto de Física Teórica (CSIC/UAM) y miembro de la Real Academia de Ciencias. Alejandro Muñoz nos ha informado de un proyecto europeo liderado por el CSIC para desarrollar un sistema de alerta temprana para prevenir la mortalidad de pinares y encinares. Con testimonios de Alberto Hornero, investigador del Instituto de Agricultura Sostenible. Hemos informado de la Encuesta de Percepción Social de la Ciencia y la Tecnología que elabora cada dos años la Fundación Española para la Ciencia y la Tecnología (FECYT). Los españoles muestran un alto grado de confianza en la ciencia y la tecnología y un creciente interés por esos temas, así como un convencimiento de que los beneficios que reporta son mayores que los perjuicios, pero echan de menos una mayor sensibilidad social y una mejor comunicación. La aleación, el arte de mezclar metales con otros elementos, ha sido durante mucho tiempo una piedra angular de la ciencia de los materiales y la metalurgia. Por el contrario, la desaleación se ha conocido principalmente como un proceso corrosivo que degrada los materiales y debilita su estructura. José Manuel Torralba nos ha contado una investigación del Instituto Max Planck que ha convertido estos dos procesos aparentemente opuestos en un concepto innovador y sostenible de síntesis de nuevos materiales. El doctor Pedro Gargantilla nos ha hablado de la sordera de Beethoven, de sus posibles causas y de cómo le influyó en su vida diaria y en su creatividad. Con Javier Ablanque al mando de nuestra máquina del tiempo hemos viajado al Méjico precolombino del siglo X para presenciar un curioso fenómeno físico, la Cola de Quetzal, la reverberación que se produce en la escalinata de la pirámide de Chichén Itzá.Escuchar audio

This Day in Legal History: Federal Housing AdministrationOn June 27, 1934, the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) was created through the National Housing Act, marking a major shift in the federal government's role in the housing market. The FHA was designed to address the housing crisis of the Great Depression, when foreclosures were rampant and private lenders were reluctant to issue long-term mortgages. By insuring loans made by private lenders, the FHA significantly reduced the risk of default, making it easier and more affordable for Americans to buy homes.The FHA introduced standardized, amortized 20- and 30-year mortgages—innovations that quickly became industry norms. These reforms expanded access to home financing for middle-class families and jump-started suburban development. However, the agency's early policies also entrenched racial segregation through redlining, where predominantly Black neighborhoods were systematically denied FHA-backed loans.While the FHA has since evolved and is now part of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), its legacy is a mix of increased homeownership and the deepening of racial disparities in wealth and housing. The legal framework it helped establish continues to shape U.S. housing policy today, making it a pivotal moment in both real estate law and civil rights history. Retired U.S. Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy voiced alarm over the state of American political discourse during a recent international judicial forum, warning that the tone of current debates poses a threat to democracy and freedom. Speaking without directly referencing President Trump, Kennedy criticized the rise of identity politics and emphasized that civil discourse should be about issues, not partisan affiliations. He argued that judges are essential to a functioning democracy and must be protected—both physically and in terms of public respect.Other speakers, including South African jurist Richard Goldstone and U.S. District Judge Esther Salas, echoed Kennedy's concerns. Goldstone condemned personal attacks on judges who ruled against the current administration, while Salas highlighted the growing danger judges face, referencing her own experience with targeted violence and the record-high levels of threats now being reported in the U.S.The event underscored a growing consensus among jurists worldwide: that political attacks on the judiciary undermine democratic institutions and risk eroding the rule of law.Retired US Supreme Court Justice Kennedy warns 'freedom is at risk' | ReutersA federal judge has rejected a joint attempt by Ripple Labs and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to finalize a reduced settlement in their long-running legal battle over unregistered XRP token sales. U.S. District Judge Analisa Torres criticized both parties for proposing a $50 million fine in lieu of a previously imposed $125 million penalty and for attempting to nullify a permanent injunction she had ordered.Judge Torres ruled in 2023 that Ripple's public XRP sales weren't securities, but $728 million in sales to institutional investors violated federal securities laws. While both sides appealed, they later proposed to settle—if the court would cancel the injunction and approve the reduced fine. Torres refused, stating they lacked authority to override a court's final judgment involving a violation of congressional statute.She emphasized that exceptional circumstances justifying the request were not present and that vacating a permanent injunction would undermine the public interest and the administration of justice. The SEC and Ripple still have the option to continue their appeals or drop them entirely.The case is notable amid a broader shift under President Trump's second term, during which the SEC has dropped several high-profile crypto enforcement actions.

Previously, lower courts had issued nationwide injunctions blocking the policy, but the Court ruled these injunctions should apply only to the parties involved in the lawsuits. This means that the policy can now proceed in most states, except those like New Hampshire where separate legal challenges remain in effect. The Court's decision followed ideological lines, with the conservative majority backing the administration and liberal justices dissenting. Justice Amy Coney Barrett, writing for the majority, emphasized that courts must not overreach their authority even when they find executive actions unlawful. In contrast, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson warned the ruling could erode the rule of law by allowing inconsistent application of federal policy across states.The ruling does not address the constitutionality of ending birthright citizenship, leaving that question open for future litigation. The Trump administration's executive order, issued on January 20, 2025, reinterprets the 14th Amendment's Citizenship Clause to exclude children born in the U.S. to non-citizen or non-resident parents. This reinterpretation challenges the longstanding understanding established by the 1898 Supreme Court case United States v. Wong Kim Ark, which confirmed that nearly all individuals born on U.S. soil are citizens. The administration has argued that judges lack the authority to impose broad injunctions and that states challenging the policy lack standing. While the policy remains blocked in certain jurisdictions, the administration can now continue planning for its implementation and potentially face a patchwork of future legal challenges.Supreme Court curbs injunctions that blocked Trump's birthright citizenship planIn a piece I wrote for Forbes yesterday, the Trump administration briefly floated Section 899, a provision dubbed the “revenge tax,” as a retaliatory measure against countries imposing taxes deemed discriminatory toward U.S. companies—particularly tech giants. This measure, hidden within the broader One Big Beautiful Bill Act, proposed punitive tax increases on income earned in the U.S. by individuals and entities linked to “discriminatory foreign countries.” The policy was a response to international developments like the OECD's Pillar 2 framework and digital services taxes (DSTs), which the U.S. perceived as disproportionately targeting American firms.Section 899 would have enabled the Treasury to impose annual 5% tax hikes on everything from dividends to real estate gains, even overriding exemptions for sovereign wealth funds. What made the provision particularly aggressive was its vague triggering criteria—any foreign tax Treasury considered “unfair” could activate the penalties, without congressional oversight.Despite its bold intent, Section 899 was ultimately abandoned. It generated concern among investors and foreign governments alike, with critics warning it would destabilize capital markets and act as an unofficial sanctions regime. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent eventually signaled its withdrawal, citing improved diplomatic relations. Though shelved for now, the idea may resurface if international tax disputes escalate.Section 899—The ‘Revenge Tax' That Didn't SurviveA double dose of me this week, another piece I wrote for Forbes:The Pro Codes Act, currently before Congress as H.R.4072, poses a serious threat to public access to the law by allowing private organizations to retain copyright over technical standards—even after those standards are incorporated by reference into statutes and regulations. Although pitched as a transparency measure, the bill effectively transforms enforceable legal obligations into intellectual property governed by restrictive licenses and online viewer limitations.The Act would require standards to be “publicly accessible,” but this access might mean only being able to view documents behind login walls, with no ability to download, search, or integrate them into legal or compliance tools. This is particularly troubling in areas like tax law, where these standards often form the basis for determining eligibility for deductions or credits.By commodifying access to legal standards, the Pro Codes Act would introduce a two-tiered system: well-resourced firms could pay for commercial access, while small legal clinics, nonprofits, and individuals could find themselves effectively barred from the rules they're legally obligated to follow. The result is an unequal legal landscape where justice becomes contingent on financial capacity.The bill directly undermines a key legal principle reaffirmed by the Supreme Court in 2020: laws and materials carrying the force of law cannot be copyrighted. Permitting private entities to control access to mandatory standards shifts power away from the public and toward entities seeking to monetize compliance.Pro Codes Act—Or, What If The Law Came Behind A Paywall?This week's closing theme is Variations sérieuses, Op. 54 by Felix Mendelssohn—a composer whose elegance, intellect, and structural precision made him one of the early Romantic era's brightest voices. Born into a wealthy, culturally vibrant German-Jewish family in 1809, Mendelssohn was a child prodigy whose musical maturity arrived astonishingly early. He played a pivotal role in reviving J.S. Bach's legacy and was admired for his orchestral works, choral music, and virtuosic piano writing.Composed in 1841, the Variations sérieuses reflect a side of Mendelssohn that is often overshadowed by his lighter, more lyrical pieces. Written as a contribution to a fundraising album for a monument to Beethoven, the work pays tribute to that master's weight and depth. In this set of 17 variations on a solemn original theme, Mendelssohn channels both Classical form and Romantic intensity. The variations begin introspectively but grow in technical difficulty and emotional force, culminating in a stormy, almost defiant finale.Unlike many variation sets of the time, which favored decorative flourishes, Mendelssohn's sérieuses live up to their name: they are dense, architecturally rigorous, and deeply expressive. The piece showcases his command of counterpoint, his sensitivity to dynamic contrasts, and his ability to build drama without sacrificing formal clarity. It's music that demands both interpretive depth and virtuosity—qualities that have kept it central to the serious piano repertoire for over 180 years. Mendelssohn once described music as a language too precise for words, and this piece speaks volumes in that tongue. It is a fitting and focused way to close the week.Without further ado, Variations sérieuses, Op. 54 by Felix Mendelssohn – enjoy! This is a public episode.

CONTENT WARNING: Discussion of gambling. One would think that with the steely blue eyes of Steve McQueen and the highest-stakes poker game ever concocted, we'd be cooking with fire with this next film. Instead, we get one of the most boring 100-minute movies committed to celluloid. Nearly an hour of this movie is preamble and exposition and when we finally get to the poker game we might as well have just had the Kid lose in the first few hands. There are many ways to approach a good poker movie, and this movie chooses literally none of them. Join us as we yawn through 1965's The Cincinnati Kid on Have a Good Movie!
