Et si nous vivions un moment de "fatigue démocratique" ? Vu la façon dont plusieurs démocraties occidentales se jettent "à corps perdu dans des modèles alternatifs" - ceux que proposent Trump, Giorgia Meloni ou Viktor Orban - il y a de quoi se demander si nous avons encore conscience des "vertus" de la république, et de ce qu'elle procure aux citoyens, comme l'équilibre des pouvoirs ou les libertés publiques. Ce constat alarmant est celui de l'historien Jean Garrigues, spécialiste de l'histoire politique de la France.Or, justement, au cours de notre histoire, des orateurs talentueux, avocats pour la plupart, ont défendu la république : François Robert, Ledru-Rollin, Gambetta, Jules Ferry, mais aussi Pierre Waldeck-Rousseau, Pierre Cot, Jean Zay, Aristide Briand, Léon Blum, Pierre Mendes-France, Gaston Monnerville, Paul Reynaud, Robert Badinter ou Gisèle Halimi - la seule femme de la liste établie par Jean Garrigues dans "Les Avocats de la République - Ceux qui l'ont construite, ceux qui la défendent" (éd. Odile Jacob, 2025).Retrouvez tous nos contenus, articles et épisodes sur rcf.frSi vous avez apprécié cet épisode, participez à sa production en soutenant RCF.Vous pouvez également laisser un commentaire ou une note afin de nous aider à le faire rayonner sur la plateforme.Retrouvez d'autres contenus de culture ci-dessous :Visages : https://audmns.com/YNRfPcJJuste ciel · RCF Cœur de Champagne : https://audmns.com/TyoHCKoLa suite de l'Histoire : https://audmns.com/IlGYVbxLa suite de l'Histoire, l'intégrale : https://audmns.com/vwgmJNuTous mélomanes : https://audmns.com/oZJUpqCMarche & rêve : 8 personnalités transformées par la marche : https://audmns.com/fLjYOLLEnfin, n'hésitez pas à vous abonner pour ne manquer aucun nouvel épisode.À bientôt à l'écoute de RCF sur les ondes ou sur rcf.fr !Hébergé par Audiomeans.

Joshua Blum is the host of The Thirteenth Hour Podcast, a show about the creative process as it relates to writing, music, and imagination. He's also the author of The Thirteenth Hour, a fantasy adventure novel, and the creator of Once Upon a Dream—an 80's-inspired synth soundtrack to accompany the book. Josh builds a rich creative world around his stories, blending music, writing, and visual art to tell bigger, immersive narratives. In this conversation, we talk about the routines, strategies, and mindset shifts that help Josh stay creative while managing the demands of everyday life. He shares how working within time constraints forces him to be more focused and playful, how constraints fuel creativity, and why creative output doesn't need to be perfect to be meaningful. We also talk about nostalgia, world-building, and how developing recurring characters and themes across mediums can unlock a deeper connection to your work. This episode is a simulcast with The Thirteenth Hour Podcast, and it was a real pleasure to swap perspectives with someone who thinks deeply about creativity across disciplines. Listen on Apple, Spotify, YouTube Takeaways: Time Constraints Can Be Creative Superpowers - Josh works in short, focused bursts—15 minutes at a time—which keeps him consistent and prevents overwhelm. Build a World, Not Just a Project - By creating music, stories, and visuals around a central fictional world, Josh finds new ways to stay inspired and expand his creative universe. Let Go of Perfect - A finished piece that's "good enough" beats the idea that never leaves your head. Josh treats creativity like a muscle—small, steady reps matter. Routines Protect Creativity - Morning journaling, evening music sessions, and other small rituals help Josh build momentum and reduce decision fatigue. Nostalgia as a Lens, Not a Limitation - Josh embraces his love of '80s aesthetics not as a gimmick, but as a creative compass that helps him stay aligned with his artistic voice.

Don't miss this inspirational episode with Dr. E, a family practice physician with a specialty in pediatric anxiety and depression.  Dr. E has four children. Her second child, Sophie, has Selective Mutism, a mental health condition where a person can't talk in certain situations because of fear and anxiety. Dr. E says she knew something was off when Sophie was about 3 1/2 years old.  Sophie was super talkative at home, but became a different person when she was out of the house. Advocating for her daughter sent Dr. E on a quest to find Sophie the right help.  After several different diagnoses and even accusations of child abuse, Dr. E set out to figure out for herself what Sophie was battling. Through her research and work, Dr. E found the diagnosis of Selective Mutism and founded the Selective Mutism Association (https://www.selectivemutism.org/). Dr. E then created the Social Communication Anxiety Treatment (S-CAT) and the Selective Mutism Anxiety and Related Disorders Treatment Center (Smart Center) (https://selectivemutismcenter.org/), where thousands of people worldwide overcome Selective Mutism. Dr. E emphasizes the importance of parents trusting their guts, and how critical it is to be your child's advocate. Dr. E concludes the episode by talking about the book Sophie wrote called Unspoken Words (https://www.amazon.com/Unspoken-Words-Childs-Selective-Mutism/dp/1467982598) at age 13. Sophie went to college and medical school and is now married and expecting her first child. Dr. E also hosts a podcast called Unspoken Words (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/unspoken-words-a-selective-mutism-podcast-by-dr/id1621959774?i=1000732656789)
