Episode No. 735 features curators Dan Nadel and Laura Phipps, and curator Alexander J. Noelle. With Elizabeth Sussman and Scott Rothkopf, Nadel and Phipps are the co-curators of "Sixties Surreal" at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York. The exhibition works to complicate the march of -isms which, outside the academy and too few art museums, has too often ossified into the the era's US art history. "Sixties Surreal" offers some of the ways in which artists working around the US (and not only in New York or for its market) mined surrealist thought and theory to help them reckon with the era's sociopolitical extremes. The exhibition is on view through January 19, 2026. The thought-provoking exhibition catalogue was published by the Whitney. Amazon and Bookshop offer it for about $40-45. Also, Nadel and Phipps have made a 113-song Spotify playlist to accompany the show. The Cleveland Museum of Art's remarkable autumn of major Italian Renaissance presentations continues with Noelle's "Filippino Lippi and Rome," a look at the Florentine's painter's work in and informed by travel to Rome. The impetus for the exhibition was Cleveland's own tondo The Holy Family with Saint John the Baptist and Saint Margaret (ca. 1488-93), a masterpiece and the only known independent work that Filippino produced in Rome. Filippino is the son of the famed Fra Filippo Lippi, and apprenticed and collaborated with Sandro Botticelli before working on his own. "Lippi and Rome" is on view through February 22, 2026. A superb catalogue was published by the museum. Amazon and Bookshop offer it for $40. Several months ago the Cleveland Museum of Art debuted Giambologna's Fata Morgana, a high-profile acquisition of a rare Giambologna marble sculpture. Instagram: Dan Nadel, Laura Phipps, Alexander J. Noelle, and Tyler Green.

Ever since the novel was invented, women have used it as a platform for sharing ideas about sexual consent. In her new book Courting Disaster: Reading Between the Lines of the Regency Novel, Dr. Zoë McGee reveals how Jane Austen and other women writers from this time used their stories to try to change society's mind about rape culture - and to reassure survivors they were not alone. Zoë joins us today to talk about how her research revealed a quiet feminist movement that still resonates today. Because every novel about marriage is also a novel about consent.

For the 236th episode of Private Parts Unknown, host Courtney Kocak welcomes Paris-based journalist Monique El-Faizy to unpack France's Gisèle Pelicot case. This French legal battle, which culminated in a landmark verdict last December, exposed a horrifying conspiracy to rape involving dozens of men—led by Pelicot's own husband. To break it all down, I'm joined by Monique El-Faizy, who has been closely following the case and is writing a book about it. We discuss the disturbing details, Pelicot's incredible bravery in waiving her anonymity and making the case public, and what this case reveals about the insidious nature of misogyny and the banality of sexual assault. We also talk about the parallels in Monique's previous book, All the President's Women: Donald Trump and the Making of a Predator. But don't worry—we end on a lighter note, with Monique sharing her experiences with dating and non-monogamy in Paris in her 50s. Read my HuffPost Personal essay inspired by the case here.

Author Marty Neumeier discusses his new thriller, Octavo. This didactic novel delves into the nature of creativity while spinning a thrilling tale through two storylines. One is set during the Renaissance and follows the last pupil of Leonardo DaVinci who writes an adventurous account of the lengths he and DaVinci go through to get DaVinci's notebooks published. There is a mystery surrounding why and how the notebooks fail to be published, and Marty's tale shows DaVinci in the role of detective, trying to solve the mystery. The second storyline is set in modern times and features two art authenticators discover the manuscript. Determined not to let the manuscript meet the same fate as Davinci's notebooks, they hatch a plan to steal it, which leads to even more adventure.

Life doesn't have to be hard to be meaningful. In this episode, I share about a moment I had on my new e-bike, when an old belief pattern snuck up on me: If it feels easy, it can't really count. I reflect on why so many of us expect life to be difficult, how we tie our value to effort and struggle, and what happens when we start allowing more ease, support, and flow. The guides also chime in with a powerful reminder about the difference between healthy challenges that help us grow and the unnecessary struggle we create out of habit. If you've ever felt guilty when things feel too good or too simple, this conversation is a reminder that ease is not the enemy, it's our natural state.

From modelling in her early twenties, she trained as a counsellor and worked alongside bringing up a family. So far, so familiar. Then, as she puts it, she had her final period, attended her first football match and everything changed. Growing up in the 70s, when girls weren't allowed to play football at school (although the law had changed to technically allow us to play in 1971, Karen had less than no interest in football, until she discovered women's football, became a passionate supporter and director of Lewes FC, famed for being the first team to pay its male and female players the same. Her five years on the board there are the subject of her new book, Pitch Invasion. Karen joined me to talk about what it takes to be a feminist on a football club board and her part in helping to turn the pitch into a place that welcomes women. the benefits of being an outsider. Why manspreading starts in the playground. How menopause gave her permission to get angry. The importance of celebrating what our bodies can do, not what they look like. Why football is helping put a little prick in the Trump balloon. And why she created a town called fuckery! * You can buy all the books mentioned in this podcast at The Shift bookshop on Bookshop.org, including Pitch Invasion by Karen Dobres as well as the book that inspired this podcast, The Shift: how I lost and found myself after 40 - and you can too, by me. * If you enjoyed this episode and you fancy buying me a coffee, pop over to my page on buymeacoffee.com. • And if you'd like to support the work that goes into making this podcast and get a weekly newsletter plus loads more content including exclusive transcripts of the podcast, why not join The Shift community, come and have a look around at www.theshiftwithsambaker.substack.com Learn more about your ad choices.

My guest today is 17-year-old Abdullah Ansari, and listening to him talk about teen health, food, stress, tech, and purpose made my jaw drop more than once. Not because he sounded rehearsed or polished. But because he sounded awake in a way most adults are still struggling to be.He talks about teen health like it is urgent. Because it is. He talks about food like it is power. Because it is. And he talks about freedom in a way that completely reframes how most teens think about independence.If you are raising a teen right now, or if you will be in the next few years, I truly believe this episode is one you will want to listen to together.Here is just a small taste of what we unpack in this conversation:Why ultra-processed food is designed to override a teen's self-controlHow the gut microbiome directly affects mood, anxiety, focus, and skinWhy scrolling is not actually a “break” for a stressed-out brainTwo free, simple stress reset tools every teen can use todayHow Abdullah handles peer pressure when everyone else is eating junkWhy gratitude is not just emotional but biologicalHow purpose changes the way teens use their bodies and their timeResources We Mention for the Teen Health RevolutionOrder The Teen Health Revolution: Unlocking Lifestyle Secrets for the Mind, Body, and Soul by Abdullah Ansari, Zain Ansari, Emaad Ansari, Qasim Ansari, and Madiha Saeed, MD on Amazon or Bookshop.orgIf you order the book before December 11, 2025, get the awesome bonuses from Abdullah and fam!Holistic Parenting with Dr. SaeedGetting to the Root of Chronic Inflammation and Disease in Kids with Dr. Madiha SaeedOne Simple Stress-Busting Habit to Use Every DayListen to the Holistic Kids' Show podcast!Visit Abullah and brothers at their website The Holistic Kid's Show or visit them on Facebook or InstagramGet four free life skills workshops now!

Send us a textBerry Good MedicineEnding Physician Overwhelm – Episode 205This week we're diving into one of the easiest, most delicious ways to lower stress and protect your health as a women physician: berries. Yes… berries. No, they won't fix the existential dread of your overflowing inbox, but they will equip your brain and body to handle the demands of physician life with more ease, more resilience, and more energy.In Week 6 of our 10-Week Recharge Challenge we're focusing on how berries help reduce oxidative stress, improve endothelial function, support cognitive performance, lower LDL, reduce inflammation, and literally protect your telomeres. (Translation: they help you age well despite the dumpster fire of modern medicine.)Inside this episode we explore:Why berries outperform apples, bananas, and mangoes on anti-inflammatory scales (by a landslide)The surprisingly robust research on berries and heart health, cognition, joint inflammation, and blood pressureHow berries can support metabolic health when chronic stress, cortisol, and irregular schedules work against usWhy separating dairy from your antioxidants helps you get the full benefit (no shame—just physiology)Easy ways to get more berries into your day, no perfectionism requiredHow this week fits into the broader arc of yoga nidra → greens → breath → sleep → laughter → berriesWe're not aiming for perfect. We're aiming for better—one small intentional practice at a time. You deserve a body and brain that feel supported, not just squeezed for output.✨ Browse the books mentioned in this challenge: How Not to Age and The Telomere Effect on my Bookshop page:
Nestled on Main Street in Woodstock, Bonfire Bookstore & Yarnery radiates the cozy, community-centric charm that so many small towns crave. During this Tourism Tuesday episode on The Valley Today, host Janet Michael, Shenandoah County Tourism's Kary Haun, and owner Kara Balcerzak dive into how a lifelong love of books—and a desire to combat modern loneliness—became one of the county's newest gathering places. A Dream Shelved—Then Finally Opened Kara, a self-described lifelong reader and third-generation librarian, relocated to Woodstock in 2019. Although she always fantasized about owning a bookstore, she didn't initially know how to launch a business. However, after participating in a local leadership program, she discovered a network of small-business support. Encouraged and equipped, she went for it. Her leap of faith resulted in Bonfire Bookstore & Yarnery, which opened on June 6 and was immediately embraced by the local community. The location on Main Street, she says, has only added to its warm, inviting personality. More Than Books: A Store Built on Connection While Bonfire carries a beautifully curated selection of fiction, nonfiction, local history, and children's titles, it offers much more than traditional bookstore staples. Kara intentionally stocks puzzles, games, gifts, craft kits, and an impressive selection of yarn, all chosen with a shared mission: helping people rediscover offline joy and authentic connection. She explains that the lingering effects of COVID, paired with the omnipresence of social media, have made people lonelier than ever. "So many people want to get off their phones and do something with their hands," she notes. Yarn enthusiasts, knitters, crocheters, and crafters visit regularly—and Kara even teaches classes in-store thanks to the building's generous space. Why Yarn Belongs in a Bookstore Yarn may seem like an unexpected addition to a bookstore, but Kara makes it feel natural. She has been knitting and crocheting for over 20 years, and she quickly discovered that readers and stitchers share similar "cozy hobby" energy. Moreover, diversifying her inventory helps the shop remain sustainable in an era dominated by online megaretailers. The yarn department has since become one of the store's most vibrant community-building features, complete with beginner classes launching again in January. A Community Space, Not Just a Retail Shop Walking into Bonfire feels less like visiting a shop and more like entering a living room. Plush chairs, a welcoming sofa, a whimsically decorated fireplace, and a children's reading nook encourage visitors to linger. Kara laughs as she recounts advice from a fellow bookstore owner who warned her against offering comfortable seating—"You don't want readers; you want buyers." But Kara had a different vision. In her mind, Woodstock needs more places for people to gather, chat, read, knit, drink tea, or simply exist without pressure to spend money. She even offers a self-serve hot beverage bar where less than two dollars for a cup of tea can also buy hours of community bonding. Holiday Happenings & Gift Ideas Bonfire Bookstore & Yarnery shines especially bright during the holiday season. Kara shares several upcoming festive events: Story Time with Santa – December 20, 11 AM–12 PM Christmas Carol Sing-Along – December 21, 12:30–2 PM with local musician Angie Vann Stocking Stuffers, Local Artisan Gifts & Specialty Items – including gardening tools, planters, puzzles, locally curated reads, and yarn-lover favorites Gift Certificates Available Janet and Kary rave about the store's wide variety—everything from nonfiction to crossword books to local history, and even pizza-herb planters inspired by popular garden titles. Shopping Local in the Age of Online Giants While Bonfire doesn't yet sell merchandise directly through its website, Kara partners with Bookshop.org and Libro.fm, ensuring customers can order books and audiobooks online while still supporting an independent store. She can also special-order nearly any book in print and typically receives orders within a week to ten days. A Magical Setting for Conversation and Community As Janet and Kary continue their Tourism Tuesday tour, they settle deeper into Bonfire's cozy atmosphere—so much so that Janet jokes Kara may eventually need to kick them out. The store inspires nostalgia, curiosity, and warmth. With its children's wardrobe-themed reading nook, eclectic shelves, and handmade touches, Bonfire feels not just magical, but meaningful. It's the kind of place where time slows down, conversations come easily, and community naturally forms—exactly the vision Kara hoped for when she opened the doors. Where Stories—and Community—Come Alive Bonfire Bookstore succeeds not just because it sells books, puzzles, and yarn, but because it taps into something essential: the deep human need for connection. Kara built a place where neighbors meet, creativity flourishes, and people rediscover joy in unplugging—even for just an hour. In a world that often feels rushed and digital, Bonfire reminds us that the most magical spaces are the ones where people simply gather. A Hub for Holiday Spirit Throughout Shenandoah County After the bookstore conversation, the episode shifts to holiday happenings across the valley. Kary and Brittany Clem-Hott share a dazzling list of parades, tree lightings, markets, open houses, and theatrical productions—including Theatre Shenandoah's first-ever performance of "A Christmas Story." Meanwhile, listeners learn about dazzling new events like Christmas at the Celebration at American Celebration on Parade, multiple town-wide festive weekends, studio open houses, cookie crawls, drive-through light shows, and more.

Send us a textWhat is liberal education? It's the prompt that has launched one thousand essays, and in a 1959 lecture at the University of Chicago, the (in)famous Leo Strauss gave his answer. Despite fleeing Nazi Germany and coming to the United States, Strauss wasn't afraid of criticizing the positivism, historicism, and relativism of the American academy. And as is evident in reading his lecture "What is Liberal Education?" neither was he afraid of calling into question the value and feasibility of modern democracy. Wyoming Catholic College professor Pavlos Papadopoulos joins Jonathan and Ryan to discuss Strauss, his relation to the Great Books movement, and his views on the relation between liberal education and mass democratic society.Leo Strauss's What Is Liberal Education? https://archive.org/details/LeoStraussOnLiberalEducation/Strauss-WhatIsLiberalEducation/Josef Pieper's Leisure, The Basis of Culture: https://bookshop.org/a/25626/9781586172565New Humanists is brought to you by the Ancient Language Institute: https://ancientlanguage.com/Links may have referral codes, which earn us a commission at no additional cost to you.

Send us a textThe ancient Rishis, through deep states of consciousness perceived the true architecture of cosmic time, shedding light on why the impossible (like interstellar travel) is infinitely possible. Vedic knowledge, is not myth. it is memory that sustains within the humanity's DNA. All that we call myth - from the ancient domain of Africa ( which includes Egypt ), India, China, the great pyramids, Mayan civilization's UN-erasable history- the universal truth etched in our memory- memory to be remembered. A more recent Vedic aeronautic tome called the Vaimanika Shastra written by Pt. Sastry cited the intricate architectural designs implemented in ancient Vedic models for starships such as Ai Atlas and R2 Swan - the design and construction and propulsion of these ancient starships noted untra-dense metal construction and mercury vortex engines and other highly advanced technologies. The modern discovery of concepts like ion drives, warp drives and anti-gravity technology align with the supreme design architecture described in this text which elaborated on ancient Vedic texts such as Ramayana and Mahabharata that noted these flying machines called Vimana, a Sanskrit term: The descriptions of Vimanas as silent hovering craft moving with aquatic grace at unfathomable speeds across great swaths of the universe navigating through known cosmic portals. Vaimanika Sastra surmised the starship's design complied with Vedic mathematical principles that emulate the natural symmetrical pulsation and geometrical sequence of the universe. ancient Vedic renditions of spacecraft design would have had to include a timed emission system that is synchronized to match the pulsation of the cosmic heartbeat generating from Spanda, the primordial vibration. Its navigation system is rooted in the cosmic code imbued into the spiral of galaxies, a concept founded in 200BCE by the Vedic mathematician, Pingala in his work on Sanskrit prosody where he surmised the Virahanka numbers, the knowledge of what is now known as the Fibonacci sequence - the cosmic code imbued in the spiral of galaxies, in the full cycle of the DNA double helix, and in various aspects of nature.To help us understand the impossible timeline being not only possible but holding infinite possibilities listen to the deeper vibration of truth currently resonating in every cell of your being. There is simply nothing to fear from the arrival of interstellar starships and their Supra-conscious sojourners.Vedic cosmology describes time in vast cycles called kalpas, 4.32 billion years, for example, represent a day of Brahma followed by a night of Brahma of equal length, where the universe is created and then dissolved. This cyclical model predates present day Big Bang theories. The Vedas propose that the universe expands from a singularity and at the end of each Kalpa it collapses into dissolution therein triggering the next Big Bang. This understanding of the Kalpa principle of time offers insights into the bending and folding of cosmic time.
