Podcast appearances and mentions of Benjamin Myers

Cody and Rich interview Dr. Benjamin Myers about his new book of essays, Ambiguity & Belonging. The conversation covers, among other things, the formation that comes from sticking in a community; the balance of particularity and ambiguity in the arts; whether reading classics is important; the benefits of sports; and whether non-Scripture poetry ought to be part of church services.

Yorkshire born actor, Samuel Edward-Cook made his screen debut in the BBC One series LAND GIRLS, before landing the role of Danny Whizz-Bang in the highly acclaimed and BAFTA award-winning crime drama PEAKY BLINDERS alongside Cillian Murphy, Joe Cole and Helen McCrory. Other television credits include the ITV miniseries BRIEF ENCOUNTERS, the ITV anthology series INNOCENT, the long-running BBC series SILENT WITNESS, and the Channel 4 comedy-drama PURE. Samuel will soon appear playing Ceri Davies in BETTER, a BBC series by Sister Pictures, the production company behind THIS IS GOING TO HURT, CHERNOBYL and GANGS OF LONDON, among many others. The crime drama follows a corrupt police detective who undergoes a major moral awakening and makes amends of her wrongdoings of the past. The series will also star Leila Farzad (I HATE SUZIE), Andrew Buchan and Anton lesser. Also in 2023, Samuel will play Isaac Hartley in Shane Meadows' highly anticipated BBC drama THE GALLOWS POLE, based on the novel of the same name by Benjamin Myers. Loosely based on true events, the six-part series set in 18th century Yorkshire will recount the rise and fall of David Hartley and the Crag Vale Coiners. The series will also star Michael Socha (PAPILLON), George Mackay (1917), Thomas Turgoose (THIS IS ENGLAND), Tom Burke (THE SOUVENIR) and Sophie McShera (DOWNTON ABBEY).

His performance as Haimon in Ivo van Hove's production of ANTIGONE alongside Juliette Binoche attracted rave reviews, with theatre critic Stephen Collins praising his “passion” and "extraordinary range of emotions”. The play itself was described as “undeniably impressive” by The Independent and as a "production that combines a sombre aesthetic beauty with a sense of the ambivalence at the heart of Sophocles's play” by The Guardian.

Benjamin Myers is the kind of writer who has devoted readers. A series of novels over the last 15 years or so, particularly those published by indie imprint Bluemoose, have earned him awards, plaudits, and many dedicated booksellers keen to hand-sell his books. His prolific output belies the fact that for the last 5 years he has been working on Cuddy, a novel that takes inspiration from Saint Cuthbert, the unofficial patron saint of the North of England. What led an atheist to write a novel about faith, and how did he alight on the novel's multiple timelines and connected narratives? Join us as we find out.

Linked episodes: 1.10a Jini Reddy, Magic in the Landscape 2.10a Marchelle Farrell, My Garden, My Teacher 4.2a Rebecca Schiller, Earthed 4.7a Benjamin Myers, Writing with the Land in ‘The Perfect Golden Circle' Hello! Welcome to your writing prompt for my conversation with Kathryn Aalto. I got a lot out of the chat with Kathryn and it was lovely to be able to catch up with her and go a little deeper into her own creative life and practice. For this prompt, I'm combining two ideas that came up in the conversation. Firstly, Kathryn's definition of ‘sense of place' and secondly her thoughts on ‘show don't tell.' Both of these concepts we covered in the course I took with Kathryn and the ‘show don't tell' technique is something I used to use a lot with my groups as a school teacher and still use now with my nature writing groups. Kathryn spoke of ‘sense of place' as being ‘That invisible layer of memories, history and emotions that covers a physical landscape with this invisible strata.' For this prompt, I'd like you to create a description of a place. This could either be a space new to you, or that you know well, a place in which you feel a sense of belonging. Perhaps it is a space close to where you live, somewhere you once visited, or somewhere you're new to. Wherever it is, you are going to take your reader there using the show don't tell technique. For this, you are avoiding telling your reader anything but are rather trying to show them it. For example, if you are in a woodland space, rather than telling them explicitly that that's where you are, show them that that's where you are. If you need any ideas, consider the following: How does the air feel? If you close your eyes, what sounds can you hear - close up and far away? What colours, shapes and shades catch your eye? Consider Kathryn's definition: what layers, memories, history and emotions exist in this place. Maybe you have no emotional connection to this place as yet, and aren't already aware of any history or memories held in the place. What comes through when you are here? What can you imagine about this place? When you read your work through, any sign of you telling me something, edit it to be more descriptive. Remember this is just an exercise in which you are training your descriptive muscles to be more perceptive, to create more detail and to entice your reader, inviting them into this world with you as their guide. Please do reach if you use this prompt. You can find me in my favourite online places - on the website, www.promptedbynature.co.uk and on Instagram @prompted.by.nature Happy writing! Helen x

Summary of the Apostles' Creed. The Apostle's Creed is a summary of the Christian faith that depicts the full story of scripture. The Apostle's Creed contains one of the most concise summaries of the Christian faith in straightforward scriptural language. It follows the narrative arch of scripture from creation to incarnation, crucifixion to resurrection, and Pentecost to life everlasting.The Apostle's Creed reminds us that our story and church are rooted in an ancient faith. There is no singular author by which this creed can be traced, rather it is the work of the Western Catholic Church. Though, it seems to have grown out of Peter's confession in Matthew 16:16. Its origin is as a baptismal confession, those that are laying down their life to join Christ in his death and resurrection (Romans 6:4) confess this as their new reality and guiding story.The Apostle's Creed is not simply a routine repetition of doctrine but rather our pledge of allegiance to one God– Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This is not a routine repetition of doctrine. It is a liturgical poem meant to move our heart as a pledge of allegiance to the triune God revealed in the person of Christ.The Church and church people are way more acquainted with the God of the mountaintop than we were with the God of the valley. What would it look like to develop a theology of the valley? “He suffered under Pontius Pilot, was crucified, died, and was buried.”“And he came out and went, as was his custom, to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed him. And when he came to the place, he said to them, “Pray that you may not enter into temptation.” And he withdrew from them about a stone's throw, and knelt down and prayed, saying, “Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.” And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, strengthening him. And being in agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground. And when he rose from prayer, he came to the disciples and found them sleeping for sorrow, and he said to them, “Why are you sleeping? Rise and pray that you may not enter into temptation.” While he was still speaking, there came a crowd, and the man called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He drew near to Jesus to kiss him, but Jesus said to him, “Judas, would you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?” – Luke 22:39-48In this passage we see Jesus experience the fullness of human suffering in four themes: Theme 1: Loneliness “To be crucified was to be cast out of the human community, rejected by God, and the world- a fate worse than death.” - Benjamin Myers, Apostles CreedTheme 2: Anxiety Theme 3: Broken relationship Theme 4: Death “Because in Jesus, God has fully shared our condition there is no human experience that can alienate us from God- every affliction is an opportunity to identify with Jesus- to suffer with him so that we may be glorified with Him. We die differently because the Son of God has touched our frail mortality and has drawn it into the wider context of his life. We die differently because we know that “neither death, nor life … will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.” - Benjamin Myers, Apostles CreedSTEP 1: Experience Grief STEP 2: Re-story STEP 3: A New Narrative Emerges We can find God in moments of suffering when we allow ourselves to experience grief, restory, and emerge with a new narrative, one that knows how to walk with Jesus in the valley.

Johny Pitts talks to Benjamin Myers about his new book, The Perfect Golden Circle.

Welcome to Series 4, episode 7 of Prompted by Nature. This week I have the privilege of releasing my conversation with writer Benjamin Myers. Ben Myers is a writer and journalist from Durham in the north of England. I'll let him introduce himself but his writing awards and accolades are intimidating - though well-deserved! - and his novel Gallow's Pole is about to be released as a TV series directed by Shane Meadows. We talked a lot about the novel The Perfect Golden Circle as well as Ben's relationship with the land and I loved hearing about the ways in which he finds inspiration. I really urge you to get hold of a copy of the book, via the library, your local bookshop or via bookshop.org and then post a glowing review of it on Amazon. Time flew when I read the book and I think you'll really love it. I've also started reading Under the Rock, which is a non-fiction piece and is just beautiful so I highly recommend having a look at that too! We discussed: His literary background The experience of having a book turned into a TV series The process of ‘letting go' as a writer How the idea for Perfect Golden Circle came about Art as an egotistical practice Crop circles as land art Landscape as character Land art and death of the author Whether the novel could have been written now His hope for the future What he's learnt I am a bit gutted I didn't ask him more about his own journey as a writer of a variety of genres but perhaps I'll get to interview him again one day and ask him all the questions I didn't get around to! Before the conversation he told me that he'd listened to a couple of the other conversations on the podcast so I thought I'd recommend them as they both tie in nicely with this episode. They were my interview writer Nick Hayes, episode 2.5a and my interview with land artist Rosalind Lowry, episode 3.7a and I also thought I'd link to another artist episode, which was 3.6a with Jamie Redway, who is an illustrator of the natural world and we have conversations around mindfulness and being out in nature as a creative practice. You can find Ben on Twitter @benmyers1 and on instagram @benmyers76 and over on his website www.benmyers.com As always, I'm on Instagram @prompted.by.nature and now on Twitter (let's see how it goes!) @promptedxnature and on my website www.promptedbynature.co.uk where you can find all the link to all the things! Remember to listen in to the writing prompt that follows this episode! Happy listening and I'll speak to you soon, Helen x

About Dr. Benjamin Myers Ben Myers is an assistant professor at the University of Utah School of Medicine in Salt Lake City, UT, and an investigator with the Huntsman Cancer Institute. Ben's research focuses on Smoothened and other class F GPCRs which play essential roles in embryonic development and in cancer. His group studies the unusual signaling mechanisms employed by these atypical 7-transmembrane receptors, combining biochemical and structural approaches with cell biology and in vivo models. These studies have revealed new and unexpected ways for membrane lipids to regulate GPCR activity and for GPCRs to control intracellular kinases. More recently, Ben's lab has begun studying GPCR signaling pathways that operate within the primary cilium, a tiny antenna-shaped structure at the cell surface with critical links to development, physiology, and disease. Ben studied developmental and cancer signaling as a postdoctoral fellow with Philip Beachy at Stanford University. Prior to that, Ben received his Ph.D. from UCSF in 2008, where he worked with David Julius on the structure, function, and physiology of ion channels and GPCRs in the nervous system. ------------------------------------------- Imagine a world in which the vast majority of us are healthy.

Zwei Außenseiter, eine Idee: Sie wollen einen makellosen Kornkreis erschaffen. "Der perfekte Kreis" von Benjamin Myers ist ruhig, aber sehr intensiv erzählt. Buchhändlerin Vera Corsmeyer stellt den Roman vor.

In dieser Folge wollen wir Eure "Seesucht" wecken. Denn Margret Holota hat in ihrem Buchladen einen tollen Büchertisch rund um die Themen "Leuchtturm, Meer und wildes Wasser" dekoriert. Ganz besonders möchte sie Euch die Bücher "Die Leuchtturmwärter" von Emma Stonex, "Offene See" von Benjamin Myers, und "Der Leuchtturmwärter und ich" von Michael Morpurgo ans Herz legen. So kurz vor den Herbstfrerien ist das sicher genau das Richtige - sowohl für den Urlaub am Meer, als auch für den muckeligen Abend auf der Couch.

Welcome to BookShook! This podcast is all about the second half of June's book, The Offing by Benjamin Myers (from ch.7 to the end if you're reading alongside). The idea of the podcast is that we'll read the first half of a book together (that I've never read) and then I'll share my thoughts in part 1 of the podcast published on the second Friday of the month. And then in part 2 (published on the last Friday of the month), I'll discuss the second half of the book (in this case from ch.7 to the end). We'll see together how the novel concludes and decide whether it's a book we'd recommend to a friend - or not. Of course, you don't have to read the book, you can listen to it, or just follow along without doing either since I'll be summarising what happens (but be aware! - there will be spoilers). You can leave a comment or start a conversation at the BookShook YouTube channel or send an email to bookshook@yahoo.com. The book we'll be reading for July is Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro (so get that ready if you're going to read alongside me). The first podcast will be on 9th July. Thanks for listening to BookShook! RogerContent Warning: There are adult themes in the novel (war and suicide). I have removed any swear words from dialogue.

Don Warrington stars as the head of a family, united and divided by grief in Sian Davila’s debut play for Radio 4, Running with Lions. We speak to both Sian and Don about the play and its particular significance now. Last Sunday, the doyenne of radio criticism, Gillian Reynolds CBE, wrote her final column for the Sunday Times. She joins Front Row to discuss a career that dates back to the late 1960s and shares her thoughts on the future of radio. Durham-born novelist Benjamin Myers has made it his mission to explore the places and people of northern England in his fiction. He came to prominence in 2017 with The Gallows Pole, a novel about a band of 17th century Yorkshire money counterfeiters, which won the Walter Scott Prize. He talks to John about his latest release, his debut collection of short stories, Male Tears, a multifaceted exploration of what it means to be a man featuring some very brutal, troubled characters. Presenter: John Wilson Producer: Simon Richardson Studio Manager: Sue Maillot

This week, Jonathan Rogers talks with Benjamin Myers, author of A Poetics of Orthodoxy: Christian Truth as Aesthetic Foundation. In A Poetics of Orthodoxy, poet Ben Myers makes the case that Christian orthodoxy provides a “reality-based way of knowing what kinds of poetry, what poetic characteristics, most resonate with true human experience.” Poetry, he argues, is a kind of re-incarnation (not THAT kind of reincarnation), and so works against the disembodying tendencies of the digital age.  In this episode, Ben and Jonathan discuss the dangers of gnosticism and the embarrassment caused by beauty, among other things.

Mit "Offene See" hat Benjamin Myers einen ungewöhnlichen Heimat- und Freundschaftsroman geschrieben. Die Geschichte spielt in England 1946, wo ein 16-jähriger Junge nach dem Schulabschluss ans Meer fährt, bevor er mit der Arbeit im Bergbau anfängt. Manuela Reichart hat das Buch gelesen.

Was lesen? Abendblatt-Redakteur Thomas Andre und Literaturhaus-Chef Rainer Moritz über aktuelle Bestseller, die es in sich haben. Taffy Brodesser-Akner hat es in ihrer US-amerikanischen Heimat mit VIP-Porträts zu einiger Bekanntheit gebracht. Ihr erster Roman ist nun auf Deutsch erschienen: „Fleishman steckt in Schwierigkeiten“ ist ein Eheroman. Eheromane erzählen so gut wie immer vom Scheitern, so auch dieser. Im Mittelpunkt der Handlung steht der New Yorker Leberspezialist Toby Fleishman, der frisch geschieden ist. Seine Ex-Frau Rachel ist Künstleragentin und so ehrgeizig und geldgeil, wie man es in der Upperclass Manhattans nun mal oft ist. Toby ist eher Idealist, was folgte, ist die Scheidung. Dann ist Rachel mit einem Mal verschwunden; das gibt diesem Roman einen Spannungsbogen. Toby ist nun allein mit den zwei Kindern, und wir rekapitulieren mit ihm die Ehekrise und die Gesetze unter den Reichen, wonach man immer noch mehr haben muss. Toby selbst ist bescheidene 1,68 Meter groß, aber auf Tinder ein Großer: In diesem manchmal auch komischem Roman beschreibt Brodesser-Akner diverse seiner Sexdates. Wenig überraschend stand dieser Roman auf der Bestsellerliste. Ann Petrys „The Street“ war 1946 ein gewaltiger Erfolg, der sich anderthalb Millionen Mal verkaufte. Die afroamerikanische Autorin traf einen Nerv mit ihrem Stoff, der im Problemstadtteil Harlem spielt. Und diesen Nerv trifft der nun auf Deutsch noch einmal neu veröffentlichte Roman heute wieder, in einer Zeit, in der Amerika mal wieder über Rassismus streitet. „Die Straße“ erzählt vom Aufstiegswillen der alleinerziehenden Mutter Lutie Johnson und wie dieser scheitern muss. Ein beeindruckendes Buch, findet Thomas Andre und Rainer Moritz. Das dritte Thema dieser der englischsprachigen Literatur vorbehaltenen Ausgabe von Next Book Please ist Benjamin Myers’ eigenwilliger Coming-of-age-Roman „Offene See“, einer der Überraschungserfolge dieses Sommers. Die Bildungsreise des 16-jährigen Robert Appleyard zu einer exzentrischen Frau, die ihn in die Geheimnisse des Lebens einweiht und dabei selbst ein großes Geheimnis hat, ist charmant und lebt von den Naturbeschreibungen. Welchem Podcaster er wohl besser gefällt?

Ein junger Mann flieht 1946 in England vor einer tristen Existenz im Bergbau in den Süden des Landes ans Meer. Hier begegnet er einer Exzentrikerin mit einem Geheimnis. Eine atmosphärische Geschichte vom Erwachsenwerden, die von intensiven Naturschilderungen lebt, aber zuweilen das Schwülstige streift.

This week Gilly Smith chats (remotely) with award-winining author, Benjamin Myers whose success with his previous novels, particularly The Gallows Pole has given him the accolade of the most powerful new voices in literature. In this, his eighth novel, The Offing, he tells a Homeric tale of Robert, a 16 year old boy who sets out across 1950’s Yorkshire to Robin Hood’s Bay and finds a gloriously long summer of food, poetry and an unlikely freidnship with an eccentric and artistic older woman called Dulcie.

Although unintentionally, on the podcast this week we definitely have an educational theme going on. When you think about one common experience that almost everybody in America has, we pretty much all went to school. Even though we might have completed various levels of education, we inherently understand that there is something important to learning and gaining knowledge. Today's podcast is dedicated to that commitment. 1. Appreciating the Importance of Vocational Education by Rev. Ben Johnson from the Acton Institute Powerblog 2. Flat Earth Movement: Controversial Conspiracy Theory Is Booming in the U.S. by Katherine Hignett from Newsweek 3. Teacher Discovers that Young Students Really Can Be Taught to Think for Themselves by Annie Holmquist from Intellectual Takeout 4. Stop Acting Like Technology Holds You Hostage by Trevin Wax from The Gospel Coalition 5. The Christian University: Steward of Western Civilization by Benjamin Myers from The Imaginative Conservative All music from Audionautix.com.

In this episode I am asking your question from Benjamin Myers from 1000 Faces Coffee. If you want to submit a question

In this episode, I talk with Benjamin Mayers about how he started his coffee roasting company, 1000 Faces Coffee. He started the company with one roaster, one container of coffee and an idea to prove to coffee growers that it is possible to make a living while producing coffee with sustainable growing practices in mind. Ben tells us about the initial investment they put into this project, and how a slow-growing company can be an advantage when your goal is also to learn through the process of building the company. We will talk about our experiences of getting our initial wholesale customers, and Ben will give you a roadmap for how to approach your first wholesale customer. The key word here is compassion — understanding the place your potential wholesale customers are coming from, what are their needs, and what is their view on life. Ben will also reveal why he enjoys making mistakes and why should you make mistakes too, and sometimes even need to fail. 1000 Faces is using Diedrich as a production roaster and Behmor for sample roasting. Before they got their Behmor they used a barrel sample roaster. Why did they decided to “downgrade” ? I love to discuss how people select their coffee portfolio, and Ben was kind enough to share. We will talk about the advantages of having a small vs. big portfolio, and why you should select one over the other. In 2013, 1000 faces won the Good Food Award. For me it was a great opportunity to ask if a coffee award like this makes a difference in our business? Is it the same as winning the Aeropress World Championship? Enjoy!
