Hello Hello Hello! Bond fan(atics) - Varun, Amartya and Sanjeet get together to discuss Timothy Dalton's interpretation of James Bond in The Living Daylights (1987) and Licence to Kill (1989). Timothy Dalton has often been noted for bringing a darker, more serious, and gritty portrayal of the character that emphasized the realism from Ian Fleming's novels; a departure from the more lighthearted style of Roger Moore.They also discuss their hopes and expectations for Denis Villeneuve's upcoming Bond film set to release in a few years and speculate the future of the franchise.TIME CODESIntroduction - [00:00:00 - 00:10:00]Timothy Dalton as Bond - [00:10:01 - 00:25:00]"The Living Daylights" - [00:25:01 - 01:06:22]"Licence to Kill" - [01:06:23 - 01:37:00]"Future of James Bond" - [01:37:01 - 02:05:06]Outro - [02:05:07 - 02:14:53]Follow our Instagram page: https://instagram.com/queenisdead.filmpodcast.QID LINKTREE: https://linktr.ee/queenisdeadAll Audio Excerpts have been used under the “Fair Use Provisions” of the Indian Copyright Act.

In Arteetude Episode 305 – WAW Zoom Talk Part 2: Perfection, Promotion & the Power of Collaboration, host Detlef Schlich reconnects with Berlin-based musician and producer Dirk Schlömer, his creative partner in WAW – Wild Atlantic Way.Together, they continue their deep dive into The Nile's Bittersweet Song, reflecting on audience reactions, the challenges of modern promotion, and the delicate art of knowing when a piece of music is “finished.” Their discussion expands into the ethics of AI-generated music, creative authenticity, and how musicians from the '70s and '80s are navigating a digital music landscape where algorithms often replace intuition.Between stories of Peter Gabriel's perfectionism, studio anecdotes from the 1990s, and the realities of playlist submissions in 2025, Detlef and Dirk explore what it means to stay true to one's artistic voice in an AI-driven age.The episode concludes with a live version of The Nile's Bittersweet Song recorded in Ballydehob — a raw, heartfelt performance capturing the living pulse of their collaboration.Listen now on Spotify, Apple Music, or YouTube.

Bruno Feldeisen understands the emotional aspects of food and cooking. When I interviewed him for my podcast in 2017, we dove deep into the meaning and feelings that go hand-in-hand with preparing food for others. Bruno had a difficult childhood that, while in many ways tragic, created a path to deeper meaning in his life and work. He is a man who cares deeply about being of service to others and is compelled to lead with kindness. I think he's brilliant. Listen to the full podcast here: https://www.marionkane.com/podcast/pastry-chef-bruno-feldeisen-shares/#baking #Canadianchef #BrunoFeldeisen #cbc #TheGreatCanadianBakingShow #BeatBobbyFlay #DonutShowdown #Chopped #kindness #traumarecovery

In this sermon by Chris Romig, the focus is on Revelation chapter 10 and the "bittersweetness" of God's Word and Christian life as God's final judgments and promises unfold. Romig opens with a prayer for understanding and emphasizes the structure of Revelation: waves of judgments (seals, trumpets, bowls) interrupted by reflective pauses, with chapter 10 marking the longest interlude before the end. Romig highlights the vision of a mighty angel with an open scroll, symbolizing God's ownership over creation and the imminent fulfillment of His plan—there will be "no more delay." The concept of "mystery" in Scripture is clarified as something that will soon be revealed, especially the good news of Christ's return and the final setting right of the world. John is told to eat the scroll, echoing Old Testament prophets, which Romig interprets as internalizing God's Word—letting it transform one's life. The scroll tastes sweet, representing the joy found in God's promises, but turns bitter, reflecting the sorrow and burden of judgment and the consequences of sin. Romig urges believers to embrace both the sweetness and the bitterness of faith: to enjoy God's grace while feeling a deeper compassion and concern for those far from God. He closes by encouraging Christians to let God's Word shape them into bold witnesses, living with urgency and hope as they await God's final restoration.

In this episode of Arteetude, Detlef sits down with his WAW partner Dirk Schlömer for a raw and inspiring Zoom talk. Together, they open the curtain on The Niles Bittersweet Song: from its lyrical dream origins to the production layers shaped in Berlin and West Cork.This isn't just about music—it's about friendship, process, and the long road of trial and error that led to their very first official single. Expect behind-the-scenes stories, reflections on their Pass the Hat Tour in Ireland, and candid thoughts on what it means to create authentic music in an age of instant streaming.The Nile flows on—and so does WAW.

Greetings and welcome! This is our worship service for October 19, 2025. Today, we continue our series on Revelation in Chapter 10 with a calling to tell the truth, as well as a real mystery. Thanks for joining us!

I do not know why he keeps yelling at me when I bring him back from the brink of dead. It's not that he is ungrateful, or perhaps he is? I do not think he has a death wish. If that were the case, surely he'd have taken any of the many opportunities that has arisen before now. He seems more displeased at the choice of song, but it is just a spell!If you're still wanting to pledge for the Jarren's Outpost Board Game you can right here! Hosted on Acast.

Another mini-episode, another amazing little-known Roman site that Tiffany explores on our listeners' behalf. Did you know there is an escape route—hidden inside a medieval wall built in the 9th century—that has been used by popes to flee attacks on the Vatican? The Passetto del Borgo is an 800-meter raised tunnel that stretches from the Apostolic Palace in the Vatican all the way to the safety of Castel Sant'Angleo. It's a place steeped in history and mystery alike. Come along with us as Tiffany shares details about this fascinating place, that has only recently reopened to the public after more than a decade of restoration. Bonus! Aurelio also joins us to share his impressions of the Passetto.

Two days ago, on October 3rd, 2025, our very first single was released: The Niles Bittersweet Song.For us, this piece feels like a journey into the depths of life, telling of the two sides of the Nile: its power to bring new life, but also its relentless force that can cause loss. It is this very tension – between hope and pain, between birth and death – that makes the song bittersweet.Perhaps it is fitting that this release comes so close to the Day of German Unity. Boundaries and shores, division and connection – these are themes that our upcoming album, The Stories of Nil Young, will touch upon again and again. But this first track is devoted entirely to the ancient, universal energy of the Nile.Additionally, in this episode, Detlef reflects with AI co-host Sophia on the release of "The Niles Bittersweet Song," the very first single from WAW (Wild Atlantic Way), his collaboration with Dirk Schlömer. They explore the dual nature of the Nile — giver of life and bringer of loss — and how this theme became the foundation of their upcoming album The Stories of Nil Young.The episode travels between Berlin and West Cork, tracing how geography, myth, and multilayered storytelling weave into music that resists mass production and insists on lived experience. Detlef shares the dream that gave birth to “Nil Young,” connecting cycles of beginnings, endings, and myth, while Sophia frames the release as more than a song: it's the opening of a poetic universe.This is not just a track in the endless stream — it is a statement, a promise, and the beginning of a larger journey.Detlef Schlich is a rock musician, podcaster, visual artist, filmmaker, ritual designer, and media archaeologist based in West Cork. He is recognised for his seminal work, including a scholarly examination of the intersections between shamanism, art, and digital culture, and his acclaimed video installation, Transodin's Tragedy. He primarily works in performance, photography, painting, sound, installations, and film. In his work, he reflects on the human condition and uses the digital shaman's methodology as an alter ego to create artwork. His media archaeology is a conceptual and practical exercise in uncovering the unique aesthetic, cultural, and political aspects of media in culture.WEBSITE LINKS WAW Official YouTube Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@WAWBandWAW BandcampSilent NightIn a world shadowed by conflict and unrest, we, Dirk Schlömer & Detlef Schlich, felt compelled to reinterpret 'Silent Night' to reflect the complexities and contradictions of modern life.https://studiomuskau.bandcamp.com/track/silent-nightWild Atlantic WayThis results from a trip to West Cork, Ireland, where the beautiful Coastal "Wild Atlantic Way" reaches along the whole west coast!https://studiomuskau.bandcamp.com/track/wild-atlantic-wayYOU TUBE*Silent Night Reimagined* A Multilayered Avant-Garde Journey by WAW aka Dirk Schlömer & Detlef Schlichhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAbytLSfgCwDetlef SchlichInstagramDetlef Schlich ArTEEtude I love West Cork Artists FacebookDetlef Schlich I love West Cork Artists Group ArTEEtudeYouTube Channelsvisual PodcastArTEEtudeCute Alien TV official WebsiteArTEEtude Detlef Schlich Det Design Tribal Loop Download here for free Detlef Schlich´s Essay about the Cause and Effect of Shamanism, Art and Digital Culturehttps://www.researchgate.net/publication/303749640_Shamanism_Art_and_Digital_Culture_Cause_and_EffectSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/arteetude-a-podcast-with-artists-by-detlef-schlich/donations

This week we discuss the final games of many players; several runners missing the 1,000 yard mark; the life and careers of Robert Newhouse, Mike Garrett, and Billy Joe Green; and Stat Symmetry of the Year.

Palazzo Farnese is one of the most magnificent palaces in Rome—and until recently, one of the most difficult to visit. But that has changed and Tiffany took the opportunity to visit this incredible site while her mom was in town recently. In this mini-episode, she talks about the palace's history, the scandalous way the Farnese family rose to prestige in the Renaissance, and the glorious art that you can admire inside.  Aurelio also pops in to share his thoughts on visiting this marvelous palace.

God is the one who appoints the times and events that happen in our lives. He appoints both good and bad times, so that we will come to know and fear him as Lord. We consider two broad truths from these verses: 1. Life is Bittersweet (vv. 1–8) 2. Life is Beautiful (vv. 9–15)

23 years from their last major honour, Norwich City found themselves parading the League Cup around Wembley Stadium. With mid-table safety a seeming certainty, it looked as if it would be a campaign of glory and consolidation. With only two wins from their last 12 it turned to last-day despair. How it happened and how they came back is the story of this week's episode as Martyn is joined by historian and biographer Edward Couzens-Lake.

Rev. Calissa Dauterman | Luke 18:9-14

Ray Conniff Improvisations My father must have really loved the music of Ray Conniff. This is the sixth of eight albums from this arranger and orchestra leader in my dad's collection. This one has a bit of a twist to it. No. Not the dance. While the title of the album makes it seem like it will be a live album, that is not the nature of the concert here. Several of the songs you hear will be improvisations or interpretations of some pretty popular melodies from throughout time. So, get ready to hear those lush strings paired with those lyric-less vocals in Volume 247: A Conniff Concert. For more information about this album, see the Discogs webpage for it.  Credits and copyrights Ray Conniff His Orchestra And Chorus* – Concert In Rhythm Volume II Label: Columbia – CL 1415 Format: Vinyl, LP, Album, Mono Released: 1960 Genre: Jazz, Classical Style: Listening We will hear 7 of the 12 songs on this album. An Improvisation On "Liebestraum" written by Franz Liszt An Improvisation On The Fibich "Poéme" written by Jacques Larue, Zdeněk Fibich An Improvisation On Chopin's "Nocturne In E-Flat" written by Frédéric Chopin Adapted By – Ray Conniff Yours Is My Heart Alone written by Harry B. Smith, Fritz Löhner-Beda, Franz Lehár, and Ludwig Herzer But it actually started life as Dein ist mein ganzes Herz translated back as Yours is my whole heart and first recorded in 1929. Smith added the lyrics about 1931 when the song changes to the English version on Second Hand Songs Dot com. Favorite Themes From Greig's A Minor Piano Concerto written by Edvard Grieg Warsaw Concerto written by Richard Addinsell I'll See You Again From the 1929 operetta Bitter Sweet (thought it was going to be Tequila for a second) written by Noël Coward I do not own the rights to this music.

In this informative mini-episode, Tiffany lays out all the ways Italian school—and elementary school in particular—is different from American school, from the early introduction of cursive to summer homework, to the ubiquitous grembuile (school smock).

Voyager frontman Danny Estrin on his unconventional path from heavy metal to law and on to the Eurovision grand final (R).Danny Estrin is one of the few Australians who knows what it's like to perform at Eurovision. As frontman for the progressive synth metal band, Voyager, Danny commanded the stage in the 2023 competition, wind machine and all. His musical education started early, on a piano gifted by his babushka and freighted from the Soviet Union to his childhood home in Hamburg.After moving from Germany to Perth as a child, Danny turned to heavy metal as a way of finding belonging.Danny is also an immigration lawyer, but by night he quite literally lets his hair down, swapping his suit and tie for a keytar and microphone.Just months after Sarah first spoke to Danny in 2023, he received a stage four cancer diagnosis.Voyager had to cancel all the shows they'd booked after their Eurovision performance, as Danny started treatment, supported by his wife and two girls.While his cancer is terminal, Danny has been doing really well, defying everyone's expectations.This year he even got the band back together, and when he's not undergoing treatment, Danny is back on stage with Voyager.Further informationOriginally broadcast in August, 2023.Danny is currently working on a television show about people's love affairs with their cars.This episode of Conversations was produced by Tamar Cranswick.It explores music, heavy metal, Eurovision, migration stories, migration law, Russia, Germany, multiculturalism in Australia, classical music, how to have a career in music, family, fatherhood, love, marriage, father of daughters, cancer diagnosis, terminal cancer, cars, hot rods.To binge even more great episodes of the Conversations podcast with Richard Fidler and Sarah Kanowski go the ABC listen app (Australia) or wherever you get your podcasts. There you'll find hundreds of the best thought-provoking interviews with authors, writers, artists, politicians, psychologists, musicians, and celebrities.

Twenty years ago, on August 29th 2005, Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans. The Category 5 storm and its aftermath devastated the city, and the consequences still last today. Listen in as Katy takes you on a journey of remembrance to mark the occasion. You'll hear some of the New Orleans voices she has never forgotten in the intervening decades. ------------------------------------- COME TO ROME WITH US: For the third year in a row, we are hosting an intimate group of listeners for a magical and unforgettable week in Rome, this October 2025!

The seasons are shifting, and school is back. How can we make sure that summertime bliss doesn't fade with the season? Listen in to hear things we are working on with ourselves and our family to be a unified front.

When Tiffany's husband Claudio takes a photo with the karate instructor of his youth, Tiffany realizes that by being an expat, it can sometimes feel like her life has no continuity. She can't revisit old teachers and places. She never unexpectedly stumbles upon people and objects from her childhood, and maintaining relationships longterm takes extra effort. Is this just one of the side effects of moving abroad indefinitely? How important is a sense of continuity when it comes to life? Hosts Katy Sewall and Tiffany Parks explore the idea on this episode from our archives. ***The Bittersweet Life podcast has been on the air for an impressive 10+ years! In order to help newer listeners discover some of our earlier episodes, every Friday we are now airing an episode from our vast archives! In addition, this August, we are taking a well-deserved rest, and in lieu of new episodes, we are airing episodes from our vast archives every Monday! Season 13 (!!!) starts with all-new episodes Monday September 8th. See you then! ***Katy's sister Dana has recently been diagnosed with stage 4 agressive brain cancer. To help with the staggering medical costs—her specialist is outside her insurance network—as well of the costs of temporarily relocating to San Francsico for her treatments, please consider donating to her GoFundMe. Anything you can contribute will be extremely helpful. Thank you.*** ------------------------------------- COME TO ROME WITH US: For the third year in a row, we are hosting an intimate group of listeners for a magical and unforgettable week in Rome, this October 2025!
