In this episode, we sit down with filmmakers Jack Piatt and David Breschel, the creative forces behind Highway West Entertainment, whose work spans literature, music, and the open road of independent cinema. Their short film The Singers, a haunting and poetic adaptation of Ivan Turgenev's 19th-century story, has been selected for the prestigious Tribeca Film Festival, where its timeless themes of memory, art, and loss will find a new audience. Jack and David share how they discovered the story, why it resonated with them today, and what it means to adapt classical literature in a modern cinematic language.We also talk about their powerful documentary I Need You, a heartfelt chronicle of the legendary band America, which was screened to great acclaim at last year's Ojai Film Festival, and also with more recently at the Ojai Playhouse with founding members Dewey Bunnell and Gerry Beckley.With behind-the-scenes access and deep reverence for their enduring legacy, the film captures the band's extraordinary 50+ year journey — from their British-American roots to their emotional farewell tour. Jack and David reflect on the art of telling a band's story with honesty, tenderness, and the kind of nuance that comes only from true fans.In both projects, you'll hear their passion for storytelling—whether through fiction, film, or friendship. And you'll get a glimpse of what it takes to shepherd meaningful, independent work into the world.Tune in for a conversation that travels from 19th-century Russia to the stage lights of the present, with two artists who are helping shape the future of narrative film.We did not talk about the in-migration of Sinaloa Cartel leaders, ghost ships of the Namibian Desert or the declining recruitment into the U.S. armed forces.

In this episode of the Anglotopia podcast, host Jonathan Thomas engages historian John Ferling in a deep exploration of the American Revolution, emphasizing its global implications and the international dynamics that shaped the conflict. Ferling discusses his extensive research, the surprising elements he uncovered, and the various perspectives from both American and British sides. The conversation also delves into the role of France in the revolution, the impact of propaganda, and the reasons behind Britain's eventual defeat. Links Shots Heard Around the World Book Link (Amazon) Shots Heart Around the World Book Link (Bookshop.org) John Ferling's Website Friends of Anglotopia Club Takeaways The American Revolution was a global conflict involving multiple powers. John Ferling's career as a historian began with a transformative college course. Research revealed significant internal dissent in Britain during the war. The Boston Tea Party marked a turning point in British-American relations. Colonial unity was underestimated by British leaders. The role of propaganda was crucial in shaping public opinion on both sides. France's secret aid was motivated by a desire for revenge against Britain. The French alliance was solidified after the American victory at Saratoga. The British military strategy was hampered by logistical challenges. Ultimately, Britain's resources were insufficient to sustain a global war. Soundbites "The American Revolution wasn't just fought in North America—there was fighting in the Caribbean, the Mediterranean, Central America, South America, Europe, Africa, on the subcontinent. It really was a global war and a very long war... America's longest war until the war in Vietnam." - John Ferling "I didn't realize that there was as much internal dissension and opposition to the war in Great Britain. By the time a couple of years had gone by, it began to appear as though this was a sinkhole that the British had gotten into... In a sense, it reminded me of the opposition to the war in Vietnam." - John Ferling "Even after the war began for more than a year, about 13-14 months after the war began, the majority of delegates in Congress still were in favor of reconciliation with Britain. They weren't pushing for independence." - John Ferling "The Boston Tea Party makes it sound like a lark, but the fact was that in today's currency, millions of dollars in private property had been destroyed. After that, the mood in England is really to get tough." - John Ferling "What surprised me about Lord North was that he's kind of like the proverbial man riding on the back of a tiger. He can't get off the tiger without being destroyed." - John Ferling "When you go to war, it's like opening the door into a dark room. You don't know what's in that room. And there's always some surprises." - John Ferling "The British underestimated just the size of America... It's a very large continent. And it was so large, in fact, that the Royal Navy, strongest Navy in the world at the time, really could not maintain the embargo that it tried to impose on American trade." - John Ferling "The French believed that the real source of British strength that had enabled Britain to win the Seven Years War was their possession of the American colonies... If the colonists would break away, become independent, then Britain would lose that source of wealth and France would be able to gain its revenge." - John Ferling Chapters 00:00 Exploring the American Revolution's Global Impact 05:28 John Ferling's Journey as a Historian 10:18 Research Insights and Surprises 16:22 The Importance of Multiple Perspectives 18:22 Inevitability of the American Revolution 25:53 Points of No Return in the Conflict 29:45 The British Response to Colonial Trade 31:21 Opposition to the War in Britain 36:15 Underestimating American Resistance 42:28 The Role of Propaganda in the War 45:41 France's Secret Aid to the Americans 52:56 France's Open Support for the Revolution 56:50 Why Britain Lost the War 01:03:00 anglotopia-podcast-outro.mp4 Video Version

“If we're not in community with other people, it's much easier to throw rocks at each other.” - John Crowley, Aqus Community Foundation.Perhaps you've had the opportunity to travel to England or Ireland and experienced it first hand. You step inside a darkly lit room, hard wood paneling defines the space. You step up to the bar, littered with glasses, beer taps and warm bodies waiting to be served. The walls are filled with dozens of yellowing photographs, framed football kits and requisite Guinness signs. Around you, a couple dozen unfamiliar friendly faces, but. strangers, the saying goes, are just friends you haven't met yet. The match is on, conversation reverberates in the air, and before you know it, people start singing. “I worked in my father's pub when I was a kid, “ says John Crowley, a native of Dublin, Ireland. “I really fell in love with it —with the community aspect of it, and I missed it when I got here.” When he emigrated to the United States, it was one of the things he longed for, but no matter where he looked, he couldn't seem to find. Sure, there were great bars and restaurants —he was in the San Francisco Bay Area after all, but he couldn't find the sense of community reminiscent of his formative years. Twenty five years ago, Crowley read Bowling Alone, and it changed his life. The book was about the power of social connection, asking the question, Where is our social capital? Where are the networks in community that bind it together and make is stronger? Unable to find it in his new home, he went about trying to create it. He invited people to join him in conversation at a local restaurant. The topic? What was the last postcard you received? That night, he waited to see what would happen. A couple of new acquaintances arrived. As they sat and chatted, a few others joined. And then a few more.  A social quorum emerged., and as they sat and chatted, the threads of community began to emerge. The rest, as they say, is history.From the seeds of those early conversations, to a lifetime of dedication to building social connection, John Crowley has dedicated his life to expanding social capital. Along with British American business partner Lesley McCullaugh, he is the the owner of Aqus Cafe and founder of Aqus Community Foundation, a nonprofit focused on building a community connection that provides a sense of belonging and encourages people to invest in where they live.You can learn more about John Crowley and Aqus Community Foundation here.Do you know someone who has a story to tell?

In this episode of the Anglotopia podcast, host Jonathan Thomas interviews military historian John Maass about his book "From Trenton to Yorktown: The Five Decisive Turning Points of the American Revolution." Maass, who works at the National Army Museum, discusses why he selected these specific turning points and how they altered the trajectory of the war. The conversation explores Washington's desperate gamble at Trenton when his army was at its lowest point, the truth behind the Valley Forge mythology, the critical importance of the Saratoga victory in securing French support, and how British strategic errors and logistical failures contributed to their ultimate defeat. Maass provides fresh insights into how these key moments secured American independence while highlighting the shared British-American history before the revolution. Links "From Trenton to Yorktown" book (Osprey Publishing) - Amazon "From Trenton to Yorktown" book (Osprey Publishing) - Bookshop.org National Museum of the US Army website and programs National Army Museum Events Join the Friends of Anglotopia Club to Get Early Podcast Access Key Takeaways Maass defines turning points as "battles, campaigns, seizures, and other military events that are decisive and result in significant change that alters the trajectory of the conflict toward the war's outcome." Washington's victories at Trenton and Princeton, though involving relatively small forces, were crucial when the Continental Army was at its lowest point and restored morale. Valley Forge wasn't just about Baron von Steuben's training—it was where Washington solidified his political position, improved relations with Congress, and created a more disciplined army. The Saratoga campaign's British failure resulted from divided command structures and severe logistical challenges in North American terrain. The French alliance after Saratoga was essential for American victory, particularly the French Navy's contribution which culminated in the Battle of the Capes before Yorktown. British strategic mistakes included dividing their forces, underestimating American resolve, and prioritizing the West Indies over the American colonies after French involvement. Sound Bites "I wanted to do something interpretive that kind of pulled together a lot of existing scholarship… and that was, I intended it to be provocative in that I wanted to literally provoke discussion." "When Washington decided a few days before Christmas that he was going to cross the Delaware River with his army… he was arguably at the lowest point in the war, professionally himself, but also militarily." "Washington knew that his army was the embodiment of the cause of independence. It wasn't Congress. It wasn't some mythical 'the people.' It wasn't the spirit of '76, but the revolution really was alive, not well, in his army." "Up until Valley Forge, he was definitely the general. And I think after that, he was also the commander in chief." "I don't think the outcome would have been favorable if there was no French intervention at all, period, end of story." "Really the most important moment in the entire Yorktown campaign… was the British and French naval battle off the coast of the mouth of the Chesapeake called the Battle of the Capes… the most important naval battle in early American history. And not a single American was involved in it."

What does it mean to have undivided loyalty? In this thought-provoking episode, I explore the powerful connection between our faith commitments and our national identity through the lens of Theodore Roosevelt's 1916 speech rejecting "hyphenated Americans."The journey begins with a hard look at our daily priorities. When we examine how we actually spend our time—scrolling social media, watching entertainment, or engaged in other distractions—versus how much time we devote to prayer, Scripture, and spiritual growth, what does that reveal about our true values? These small daily choices form the foundation of our larger loyalties.Drawing from Colossians 1, we explore how Paul emphasizes the supremacy of Christ and the importance of giving Him first place in everything. This spiritual principle parallels Roosevelt's passionate call for citizens to be "Americans and nothing but Americans." Both perspectives challenge us to examine where our true allegiances lie and what it means to have an undivided heart.The heart of this episode centers on Roosevelt's powerful declaration that he would dismiss anyone from his cabinet who identified themselves as a hyphenated American. "If they had severally designated themselves and had acted as one a German-American, another a French-American, another an Irish-American, another a British-American... not one of them would have remained an hour in my cabinet." This historical stance raises profound questions about our modern identity politics and the fragmentation of both national and spiritual loyalties.What would it look like to reclaim an undivided American identity while also embracing an undivided Christian identity? Whether you're wrestling with questions of faith, citizenship, or personal priorities, this episode offers historical wisdom and spiritual insight to help navigate these complex waters. Join me in exploring what it means to be wholly committed to both God and country in an age of divided loyalties.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

The years leading up to the independence and accompanying partition of India mark a tumultuous period in the history of Bengal. Representing both a major front in the Indian struggle against colonial rule, as well as a crucial Allied outpost in the British/American war against Japan, Bengal stood at the crossroads of complex and contentious structural forces - both domestic and international - which, taken together, defined an era of political uncertainty, social turmoil, and collective violence. While for the British the overarching priority was to save the empire from imminent collapse at any cost, for the majority of the Indian population the 1940s were years of acute scarcity, violent dislocation and enduring calamity. In particular there are three major crises that shaped the social, economic and political context of pre-partition Bengal: the Second World War, the Bengal famine of 1943, and the Calcutta riots of 1946.  Hungry Bengal: War, Famine and the End of Empire (Oxford UP, 2015) examines these intricately interconnected events, foregrounding the political economy of war and famine in order to analyze the complex nexus of hunger, war and civil violence in colonial Bengal at the twilight of British rule.

Julian, Madeline, and Emilio are graced by the enthusiastic presence of Tony-nominated actor Rob McClure to finish off their episode cycle on Oscar-Winning Supporting Performances with a "Close-Up" about three classic comedic roles, which each garnered their performers the coveted trophies. The first of these would be Kevin Kline's role in "A Fish Called Wanda" (1988), the British-American, Monty Python-adjacent caper where Kline plays the audaciously stubborn diamond thief Otto West. Next is that of Jack Palance in "City Slickers" (1991), the story of three New Yorkers on a cattle-herding vacation in the American West, in which Palance plays their rugged-yet-warm-hearted trail boss, Curly. And rounding out this trio is Marisa Tomei in "My Cousin Vinny," the courtroom dramedy where the titular Brooklyn lawyer is enlisted to represent his wrongfully-accused cousin and best friend in Alabama, depending on crucial contributions from his brash and mechanically-astute fiancée Mona Lisa Vito to work towards their exoneration. Though all of these films were released in nearby years, the group discusses why these performances stand the test of time, be it due to laugh-out-loud physical gags, the contrast between locals and fish-out-of-water, or the resonant truths at each role's foundation. Aided by Rob McClure's inimitable experience and expert insight about the "actually, actually" that defines a great comic performance, they trace the vast range of humor among these characters and the greater stories in which they appear, making notable stops along the way at unforgettable facial expressions, one-armed push-ups, and scathing instruction-manual retorts. Rob McClure has earned Tony nominations for his roles in the Broadway productions of Mrs. Doubtfire and Chaplin, and has also appeared in Something Rotten!, Mary Poppins, Hello Dolly, Beetlejuice, and many more productions On- and Off-Broadway.

China's Tiangong space station is expected to welcome its first foreign visitor—a Pakistani astronaut who will likely become the first from the nation to fly in outer space, according to a heavyweight cooperation agreement.根据一项重量级合作协议，中国天宫空间站将迎来首位外国访客——一名巴基斯坦航天员，其很可能成为该国首位进入太空的人。The agreement, signed by the China Manned Space Agency and Pakistan's Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission at a ceremony in Islamabad on Friday, covers the bilateral efforts to select and train Pakistani astronauts and then send some of them to China's Tiangong space station, which has been in orbit for nearly four years.2月28日，中国载人航天工程办公室与巴基斯坦太空与高层大气研究委员会在伊斯兰堡举行仪式，正式签署《关于选拔、训练巴基斯坦航天员并参与中国空间站飞行任务的合作协议》，双方将共同努力，选拔训练巴基斯坦航天员，并将其中部分航天员送往已在轨运行近四年的中国天宫空间站。Its signing, witnessed by Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, marks the first time for China to help a foreign nation select and train astronauts, and also the first time for Tiangong to expect a non-Chinese visitor, the agency said in a news release.中国载人航天工程办公室发布新闻称，巴基斯坦总理夏巴兹·谢里夫见证了协议签署，这标志着中国首次帮助外国选拔训练航天员，天宫空间站将迎来首位外籍航天员造访。It said the two sides will spend about one year to complete the selection process and then send the Pakistani candidates to China to receive comprehensive and systematic training. It did not mention whether the selection has begun or when it will start.新闻指出，双方将利用一年左右的时间完成选拔工作，巴基斯坦航天员将在中国接受全方位的系统训练。但选拔工作是否已经开始或何时开始尚未公布。After the Pakistani trainees are ready, one of them will be chosen as the first foreign crew member to fly with Chinese astronauts toward Tiangong space station and spend a short-term stay inside the colossal spacecraft, currently orbiting Earth at about 400 kilometers above the ground, the agency noted.中国载人航天工程办公室表示，在巴基斯坦受训人员准备就绪后，将选择其中一人作为首位外籍航天员，与中国航天员一道进入天宫空间站短期驻留。目前天宫空间站在距地面约400公里的近地轨道运行。Until now, the highest altitude any Pakistani citizen has ever achieved is about 87.4 km, which was reached by female polar adventurer and artist Namira Salim during a 55-minute suborbital journey arranged by British-American aerospace company Virgin Galactic on Oct 6, 2023.迄今为止，巴基斯坦公民到达的最高高度约为87.4公里，这一纪录由巴基斯坦女性极地探险家和艺术家纳米拉·萨利姆创造。2023年10月6日，她在英美航空航天公司维珍银河的安排下进行了55分钟的亚轨道飞行。It is commonly recognized that the Karman line, at an altitude of 100 km above sea level, is the start of outer space and the threshold for orbital flight.国际上普遍认为，位于海拔100公里处的卡门线是外太空与地球大气层的分界线，也是进入轨道飞行的最低高度。The signing of the cooperation agreement has created fresh opportunities and set a model for more developing countries to engage in international manned space collaboration. It is expected to inspire nations worldwide to join hands in exploring the mysteries of the universe and collectively forging a new chapter in advancing shared interests for the benefit of all humanity, according to the release.据新闻表示，这次合作协议的签订，为更多发展中国家参加国际载人航天合作提供了新机遇和范例，将激励更多国家携手探索宇宙奥秘，共同在造福全人类的道路上书写新的篇章。Since the launch of Tiangong's first component in April 2021, Chinese space officials have floated the idea of selecting and sending foreigners to the space station.自2021年4月天宫空间站首个组件发射后，中国航天官员就提出了选拔派遣外国航天员进入空间站的想法。Key project leaders such as Yang Liwei, the first Chinese astronaut in space and now a deputy chief planner of the country's manned spaceflights—and Lin Xiqiang, deputy head of the China Manned Space Agency—have said several times that China is open to international cooperation on its space station.中国首位航天员、中国载人航天工程副总设计师杨利伟和中国载人航天工程办公室副主任林西强等关键项目负责人多次表示，中国对空间站国际合作持开放态度。Chen Shanguang, another senior official in the country's manned space program, said in February 2023 that "multiple countries have told China that they hope to send their astronauts to Tiangong".2023年2月，中国载人航天工程高级官员陈善广表示，“已有多个国家向中国表示希望派遣航天员入驻天宫”。Pang Zhihao, an expert on space exploration technology and a renowned writer on spaceflight, said that the Pakistani trainees will need to undergo a series of stringent training and tests before qualifying themselves for actual spaceflight.空间探测技术专家、著名航天作家庞之浩表示，巴基斯坦受训人员在具备实际飞行资格前，需经历一系列严格训练和测试。"Of course, the first and foremost lesson they need to take is the Chinese language. The language to be spoken inside a Chinese station is naturally Chinese. Second, though they must have had good physical and psychological qualities, they still need to train very hard to make their body and mind perfectly prepared for a space mission. This is especially important if some of the Pakistani trainees were not selected from among pilots. They must learn how to eat, drink, sleep and deal with personal hygiene in microgravity, which poses a huge challenge to anyone flying into space," Pang said.庞之浩说：“当然，他们首先需要上中文课。在中国空间站内自然要说中文。其次，尽管他们必须具备良好的身心素质，但仍需刻苦训练，全身心为太空任务做好充分准备。这对部分非飞行员出身的巴基斯坦受训人员尤为重要。他们必须学会如何在微重力环境下进食、饮水、睡觉、处理个人卫生，这对任何进入太空的人来说都是巨大挑战。”After arriving at the space station, the selected Pakistani astronaut will likely carry out at least one scientific experiment designed by Pakistani researchers, according to the expert.据专家介绍，入选的巴基斯坦航天员抵达空间站后，将可能开展至少一项由巴基斯坦研究人员设计的科学实验。Another Chinese spaceflight expert who wished to remain anonymous said that the new agreement is a very good example for space cooperation between developing countries and for South-South cooperation.另一位不愿透露姓名的中国航天专家表示，这项新协议为发展中国家进行航天合作以及南南合作提供了很好的范例。"It will effectively boost Pakistan's social development and help it become an emerging force in the international space arena," he said.他说：“这将有效促进巴基斯坦的社会发展，助力其成为国际航天领域的新兴力量。”stringentadj.严格的，苛刻的

In this episode of Lit with Charles, I sit down with Benjamin Markovits to discuss his latest novel, The Rest of Our Lives. This beautifully reflective book follows Tom, a middle-aged father who, after dropping his youngest daughter at college, keeps driving, embarking on an unplanned journey that forces him to confront the unresolved trauma of an affair, a failing marriage, and a mysterious health condition. Blending the themes of a road trip novel, midlife crisis, and personal reckoning, Markovits crafts a story that is much more than the sum of its parts—meditative, intimate, and profoundly moving.Markovits, a British-American novelist and former professional basketball player, has a long and acclaimed bibliography, including You Don't Have to Live Like This, which won the James Tait Black Prize for Fiction in 2016. In this conversation, we explore his own transatlantic upbringing, how his writing is influenced by his experiences, and why midlife transitions make for such compelling literary themes. The Rest of Our Lives is set for release in the UK in late March, and I wholeheartedly recommend adding it to your reading list.If you enjoyed this episode, please leave a review and follow me on Instagram (@litwithcharles) to keep the literary conversations going.

Pricing. It's one of the most critical decisions your business will ever make, yet most people approach it like a finger-in-the-air guessing game. But what if you could tap into psychological principles to not just set prices, but make your customers feel they're getting a great deal? That's what this episode of The Intuitive Customer is all about. Join Colin Shaw and Professor Ryan Hamilton as they break down the fascinating—and sometimes hilarious—world of psychological pricing. From late-night infomercials and $400 bath towels to popcorn buckets and outrageous anchoring techniques, we explore why pricing is more than numbers on a tag—it's a story you tell your customers. Along the way, Ryan reveals the secrets behind charm pricing, scarcity cues, and the “decoy effect,” while Colin shares how early mistakes taught him the importance of understanding customer perception. (Spoiler alert: guesswork is not a strategy.) If you want to understand the psychology behind pricing—and how to use it to improve your bottom line—you'll love this episode. But be warned: you might never look at a price tag the same way again. Best Quote from the Episode: "The price isn't just a number; it's a conversation you're having with your customer. And if you're not telling the right story, someone else will." — Professor Ryan Hamilton Key Takeaways (But You'll Have to Tune In for the Full Insights!): Anchoring: The "Big Daddy" of Pricing Why giving customers a frame of reference can make your prices seem more attractive.

Salman Rushdie has been getting death threats for more than 35 years. The Indian-born British-American novelist sparked outrage with his book "The Satanic Verses" in 1988. It was declared blasphemous by many Muslims, so much so that Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khomeini issued a fatwa against him, calling for his death. In August 2022, the Booker Prize-winning author was stabbed multiple times on stage in New York state, leaving him blind in one eye. His attacker is now on trial for attempted murder. The book "Knife" is Rushdie's account of what happened. He spoke about the work at the 20th edition of the Hay Festival Cartagena in Colombia, where he sat down with Léa Hurel from FRANCE 24's Spanish channel.

During the early days of the American Revolution, British Americans attempted to sway their fellow Britons with consumer politics. In 1768 and 1769, they organized a non-consumption movement of British goods to protest the Townshend Duties. In 1774, they arranged a non-importation and non-exportation movement to protest the Tea Act and Coercive Acts. Why did the colonists protest the Tea Act and Coercive Acts? Why did they chose to protest those acts with the consumer politics of a non-importation/non-exportation program? James Fichter, the author of Tea: Consumption, Politics, and Revolution, 1773-1776, joins us to explore the Tea Crisis of 1773 and the resulting non-importation/non-exportation movement the colonists organized after Parliament passed the Coercive Acts.
