Professor Yasir Suleiman-Malley speaks about the complexities of Arabic tracing his personal journey with the language, from early struggles with grammar to a deep appreciation for its richness. We explore the historical and pedagogical challenges of teaching Arabic, especially given its sacred status connected to the Quranic text and the socio-cultural resistance to modernizing its grammatical teaching methods. The conversation also delves into the dual nature of Arabic, the spoken and the written forms, their impact on education, everyday use, and the broader implications of Arabic as a cultural and identity-defining symbol in the Arab world.  00:00 Introduction 00:05 Professor Suleiman-Malley's Early Relationship with Arabic01:24 Challenges in Teaching Arabic Grammar05:34 Cultural and Historical Context of Arabic Pedagogy11:30 Arabic as a Symbol of Identity and Conflict15:43 The Health of the Arabic Language23:50 Decolonization and Language29:45 Reviving and Managing Languages38:26 The Role of Language in Identity39:19 Language as a Membership Card41:04 Diversity and Unity in the Arab World42:50 Cultural Arabness vs Racial Arabness45:39 Historical Perspectives on Arab Identity54:01 The Concept of Diglossia01:03:08 Challenges of Written vs Spoken Arabic01:07:11 The Future of Arabic Language and Identity01:13:30 Final Thoughts Professor Yasir Suleiman-Malley is Chair of the Panel of Judges, British-Kuwaiti Friendship Society Book Prize in Middle Eastern Studies.

A REMARKABLE BOOKSELLER. James Daunt is the founder of the Daunt Books chain in the UK, and has been managing director of Waterstones, the bookshop chain of more than 300 stores, since 2011. In 2019 he also became CEO of Barnes & Noble, the American bookstore chain of some 650 stores. An Honorary Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature, Daunt was appointed Commander of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2022 Birthday Honours for services to publishing. “The real joy of a bookstore is that it does curate and it does the job of ensuring that readers and customers are browsing the best that's available.“ “The book is ultimately the most satisfying way in which to educate oneself and to illuminate around the issue of interest“ “There are booksellers up and down, particularly in Europe, who are espousing the same principles, which is let the booksellers in each shop run their own bookstores“

As an architect, are you influenced by the environment you grew up in, even if your work looks vastly different to where you spent your formative years? John Pawson thinks so. He grew up in the north of England in the 1950s with his four sisters, playing with kids from houses around their family home. Despite being a master of minimalism, he grew up in a house that was quite the opposite. John Pawson CBE has spent over forty years making rigorously simple architecture. His work spans everything from London’s Design Museum to the Czech Republic’s Cistercian Monastery, Calvin Klein’s store on Madison Ave in New York and a range of private homes and the furnishings to go with them. His work is defined by the use of natural materials, a sensitivity to light and spare spaces that have a feeling of calm. At a turning point in his life as a young man, Pawson set off on a ‘round the world ticket with nothing to lose. His first stop was in Nagoya, where he had the idea to become a Buddhist monk. When that failed, he went to Tokyo and met Shiro Kuramata. Despite having no formal qualification as an architect, his accolades are many. They recognise his influence as one of the world’s leading architects. In 2007 he was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) for his contribution to architecture in the UK. Listen in as Vince and John discuss knocking down walls to redesign Hester van Royen’s rented flat, the moment Calvin Klein turned up to his office unannounced in 1993 and how starting out can often feel painfully slow.

In this episode, we are delighted to be joined in conversation by Jenny Body CBE. This episode was recorded in front of a live audience at Aerospace Bristol on the morning of our annual awards ceremony on the 13th of October this year. The recording was made almost within touching distance of Concorde, an aircraft that Jenny had the privilege of working on some years ago.Jenny Body is a British Aerospace engineer and former President (the first ever woman to hold this post) of the  Royal Aeronautical Society. Jenny grew up in rural Gloucestershire; her father was an aerospace engineer, and her mum worked hard to qualify as a dispensing chemist. Growing up, Jenny was naturally good at maths/physics but also developed a passion for English, which still stays with her to this day. Told by her headteacher that engineering was "not a suitable career for a young woman", she thankfully ignored this advice and, throughout her career, has worked to demonstrate that gender should be no barrier to progression in her chosen profession. Working in the avionics group at British Aerospace, Jenny was part of the team that generated some of the first 'fly by wire' software. She established and led the Next Generation Composite Wing Programme, one of the most extensive and expensive research programmes in the history of British Aerospace. In 2002 Jenny was made engineering lead on the Nimrod wing design team. In 2013, Jenny became the first female President of the Royal Aeronautical Society. Whilst she very humbly places this in our conversation, this was hugely significant as not only her gender was in play here, but also her route to this role and the fact that she came from a civilian background and not through the RAF, where many of the previous holders of this post had graduated from.  Already an OBE. Jenny was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2020 New Year Honours list this in recognition of her services to aerospace engineering.  This is a fascinating conversation with a groundbreaking engineer as we trace her journey from school to working with government to secure funding and lead a huge engineering team to advance British Aerospace. So sit back, grab an hour to yourself and enjoy Designed for Life in conversation with Jenny Body CBE.

He co-wrote the screenplay for the 1968 film 2001: A Space Odyssey, widely regarded as one of the most influential films of all time. Clarke was a science fiction writer, an avid popularizer of space travel, and a futurist of a distinguished ability. He wrote many books and many essays for popular magazines. In 1961, he received the Kalinga Prize, a UNESCO award for popularizing science. Clarke's science and science fiction writings earned him the moniker "Prophet of the Space Age". His science fiction writings in particular earned him a number of Hugo and Nebula awards, which along with a large readership, made him one of the towering figures of the genre. For many years Clarke, Robert Heinlein, and Isaac Asimov were known as the "Big Three" of science fiction. Clarke was a lifelong proponent of space travel. In 1934, while still a teenager, he joined the BIS, British Interplanetary Society. In 1945, he proposed a satellite communication system using geostationary orbits. He was the chairman of the British Interplanetary Society from 1946 to 1947 and again in 1951–1953. Clarke immigrated to Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) in 1956, to pursue his interest in scuba diving. That year, he discovered the underwater ruins of the ancient original Koneswaram Temple in Trincomalee. Clarke augmented his popularity in the 1980s, as the host of television shows such as Arthur C. Clarke's Mysterious World. He lived in Sri Lanka until his death. Clarke was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in 1989 "for services to British cultural interests in Sri Lanka". He was knighted in 1998 and was awarded Sri Lanka's highest civil honour, Sri Lankabhimanya, in 2005. Audio source ⁠(and more) here⁠⁠ Full Wikipedia entry ⁠here⁠ Arthur C.

This week, we're covering some of the finest female vocal performances and songs of the O3L era. But, as the ladies of Bananarama wisely imparted, "it ain't what you do, it's the way that you do it!" That's why we are thrilled to "do it" with indie pop giants Heavenly as our Third Lads this week: Amelia Fletcher, Rob Pursey, Pete Momtchiloff and Cathy Rogers! Heavenly are reuniting for a pair of sold out London shows this month to celebrate their ongoing reissue campaign on Skep Wax, and they were gracious enough to hang out with us to share music, memories and laughs with us. Heavenly was formed in Oxford, England in 1989, springing from one of the seminal UK indie bands of the '80s, Talulah Gosh. From 1990-1996, the group released four albums and a run of brilliant singles (mostly on Sarah Records), full of jangly twee pop sweetness with an occasional riot grrrl attitude. Following the untimely passing of drummer Matthew Fletcher, the surviving members regrouped as Marine Research for the terrific 1999 LP Sounds From The Gulf Stream. In the 21st century, Amelia and Rob have been involved in various musical projects including Sportique, Tender Trap, Caternary Wires and Swansea Sound, as well as running the Skep Wax label. Amelia is also an esteemed economist who has been appointed as an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) and Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE). Pete has played in bands including Scarlet's Well (with Bid from Monochrome Set), Would-Be-Goods, and Tufthunter.

This week, we're covering some of the finest female vocal performances and songs of the O3L era. But, as the ladies of Bananarama wisely imparted, "it ain't what you do, it's the way that you do it!" That's why we are thrilled to "do it" with indie pop giants Heavenly as our Third Lads this week: Amelia Fletcher, Rob Pursey, Pete Momtchiloff and Cathy Rogers! Heavenly are reuniting for a pair of sold out London shows this month to celebrate their ongoing reissue campaign on Skep Wax, and they were gracious enough to hang out with us to share music, memories and laughs with us. Heavenly was formed in Oxford, England in 1989, springing from one of the seminal UK indie bands of the '80s, Talulah Gosh. From 1990-1996, the group released four albums and a run of brilliant singles (mostly on Sarah Records), full of jangly twee pop sweetness with an occasional riot grrrl attitude. Following the untimely passing of drummer Matthew Fletcher, the surviving members regrouped as Marine Research for the terrific 1999 LP Sounds From The Gulf Stream. In the 21st century, Amelia and Rob have been involved in various musical projects including Sportique, Tender Trap, Caternary Wires and Swansea Sound, as well as running the Skep Wax label. Amelia is also an esteemed economist who has been appointed as an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) and Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE). Pete has played in bands including Scarlet's Well (with Bid from Monochrome Set), Would-Be-Goods, and Tufthunter. Cathy has a PhD in Educational Neuroscience, and is well known as the creator, producer and host of the reality competition shows Scrapheap Challenge (UK) and Junkyard Wars (US).

Join Mark Homer today as he interviews co-founder of award winning investment service Hargreaves Lansdown and majority shareholder of Bristol City FC, Stephen Lansdown CBE. Together they discuss the impact the pandemic has had on the financial market globally, why saving for your future is more important than ever and why people should take an active interest in their personal investments. KEY TAKEAWAYS There is a lot of value accredited to trail commissions businesses, especially over the last 10-15 years. Company valuations that are based on repeat income seem stronger than those that are taking a one off chunk. If you're giving a good service then a client will stay loyal to you and you will continue to take that income. The more clients you get the more assets you have got and the more fees you generate. Governments are so much in debt due to the financial crisis and the pandemic, that you have to make your own precisions which is why saving is so important. Financial services platforms are in a good position to service that market. Healthcare, technology and renewable energy are good investment opportunities for now and the future. Whilst the timing of it is hard to predict, the reality is there will be inflation at some point. Inflation is needed because that is how assets recover and how we get ourselves out of debt. Cash is not great at the moment and the alternative to that is equity investment which is why the stock market is benefiting massively. There has always been a herd instinct in investment and many people tend to follow the crowd. You can follow it too far, and that is what makes the market. The market will not go up forever, and it will not go down forever, it will adjust along the way. A wise way to use your money is to firstly ensure you have a certain amount in cash to meet your short term expenditure so that you are never caught short. Secondly, get some income that gives you a guaranteed return with fixed interest rates. Finally look towards investing in growth and income with either equity or property. The fixed interest market is more of a property rental market these days. If you can find a good property/properties that can give you a good yield and can ensure you a good, guaranteed income then you can budget accordingly and make further investments along the way. People should take an active interest in their investments, that is what the platform Hargreaves Lansdown has done for people. It allows people to look at all their investments in one place, to make decisions very quickly and to get information on those investments. You have got to plan for your later life and your family at the earliest possible stage. The stock market and investments markets are the best place to do that. BEST MOMENTS “It was because other people were stealing our food off the table we decided to beat them at their own game.” “As long as we give you a good service, as long as we make sure your money is secure and you're happy and confident in what we're doing, then you're going to give us the instructions to do every transaction that you possibly can.” “The moment of truth arrives as to where all the balls are going to land once the government starts to withdraw stamp duty holiday, furlough, grants and all the rest of it.” “Everyone makes loads of money until the money stops coming in, and then it falls apart.” “There is no working together for the common good.” “They are all the ingredients for a good all around investment attitude.” ABOUT THE GUEST: Stephen Philip Lansdown CBE is an English-born Guernsey billionaire. He co-founded the British financial services firm Hargreaves Lansdown with Peter Hargreaves. He is a founder of Bristol Sport and majority shareholder of Bristol Bears, Bristol Flyers, and Bristol City Football Club. Lansdown was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2017 Birthday Honours for services to business and the community in Bristol. ABOUT THE HOST Mark Homer is an entrepreneur investor.  He has worked with investment since he was 15 years old using the laws of wealth! He is a spreadsheet analyst with an impressive following from major publications including BBC Radio, The Wall Street Journal, The Independent, and co-authoring the UK's best-selling property books.  Mark has always looked for the best investment vehicle, and at the end of 2007 with Rob Moore the co-founder of Progressive Property his joint portfolio produced more profit than any of the other investments he'd tried in the last ten years, combined.

Find out more on our website: https://bit.ly/3qqw1TY This webinar presentation will highlight Birkbeck's history and its importance to working Londoners in its near 200 year history. The history is important to understand in the context of more contemporary policy challenges such as how the London workforce can be reskilled after the covid pandemic, the emerging Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR), and London's post Brexit future. Professor Latchman will go on to give an overview of specific measures currently being considered by the UK Government such as the Augar Review of Post 18 Education, the Skills and Post 16 Bill, and ‘Levelling Up' and what all of this means for employees and businesses in London. Speaker: Professor David Latchman has been Vice-Chancellor of Birkbeck since 2003. His advocacy for lifelong learning has resulted in further funding for part-time students and the universities that serve them. These include fee and maintenance loans being made available to part-time undergraduate and postgraduate students and the raising of eligibility for such assistance to 60 years of age– a raise of 30 years on the previous upper age limit. During his time at Birkbeck, he has overseen significant development of the College's estate including the research facility of the Wohl Wolfson Toddler Lab and enhanced teaching facilities at 373 Euston Road. The most recent acquisition is the former University of London owned Student Central Building. This is scheduled to re-open in 2024 and will result in the further enhancement of existing teaching, learning and student social space. Birkbeck has continually been rated highly in successive government research and teaching assessment exercises and there has been a significant increase in income from philanthropic sources. Professor Latchman has published extensively in the field of Genetics and Molecular Biology and also has significant experience of the commercial exploitation of intellectual property, having obtained Venture Capital funding to found a Company (BioVex Ltd) on the basis of patents developed by his laboratory in the area of gene therapy. The Company was subsequently acquired by Amgen Ltd and its viral vector is now used in an approved treatment for patients with melanoma. Professor Latchman was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in 2010 for his services to Higher Education.

Moura: Her Autobiography tells the story of the English concert pianist, Moura Lympany (1916-2005). Written in partnership with her cousin, Margot Strickland, the book covers the career of a stylish and resilient artist who endured many personal hardships. Born Mary Johnstone, Moura Lympany changed her name at the suggestion of the conductor, Basil Cameron, with whom she made her debut at Harrogate in a performance of the Mendelssohn G-minor Piano Concerto in 1929. Cameron had thought that “Moura” (the Russian version of “Mary”) might lend itself well to a concert career, particularly when combined with an old spelling of her mother's maiden name, “Limpenny.” A brief synopsis of Lympany's life begins with her early piano studies given by her mother. Her father had served in the First World War. Having been sent to a convent school in Belgium, Lympany later went on to study with Paul Weingarten, Mathilde Verne (a pupil of Clara Schumann) and Tobias Matthay, whose spirit and teaching legacy live on in the book as witnessed by numerous stories and anecdotes. Having made her London debut at Wigmore Hall in 1935, Lympany placed second to Emil Gilels in the Ysaÿe Piano Competition of 1938. Married in 1944 to Colin Defries, a man thirty-two years older than Lympany, the two divorced in 1950, the marriage not having been without complications. A second marriage occurred in 1951 to the American television executive, Bennet Korn. The two divorced in 1961. Lympany had longed for children and speaks about this in her book. Unfortunately, she suffered two miscarriages, as well as a son who died shortly after birth. Having performed around the world, Lympany's career picked up considerable momentum after the Second World War. Of notable interest is the Steinway Centenary Concert that Lympany performed at, along with a host of other great pianists, including my piano teacher, Constance Keene. This concert took place in October of 1953 and was apparently broadcast on the television show, Toast of the Town. Diagnosed with breast cancer in 1969, Lympany had a mastectomy, followed later by a second one. In 1979, she was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE). Two years later, Lympany established the Rasiguères Festival of Music and Wine in France. From the mid-1980s and on, she was based in Monaco, having helped Prince Louis de Polignac to establish the Festival des Sept Chapelles in Brittany. Lympany was made a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE) in 1992 and served as a juror for the Ninth Van Cliburn International Piano Competition in 1993. Throughout her autobiography, one gets a sense of the degree to which Lympany loved living the good life, both in terms of her flair for fine fashion, food, wine, as well as travel, parties and society. Her contacts included many notable individuals, including figures of royalty. The archive of Lympany's musical career is located at the International Piano Archive at the University of Maryland (IPAM).

This concert took place in October of 1953 and was apparently broadcast on the television show, Toast of the Town. Diagnosed with breast cancer in 1969, Lympany had a mastectomy, followed later by a second one. In 1979, she was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE). Two years later, Lympany established the Rasiguères Festival of Music and Wine in France. From the mid-1980s and on, she was based in Monaco, having helped Prince Louis de Polignac to establish the Festival des Sept Chapelles in Brittany. Lympany was made a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE) in 1992 and served as a juror for the Ninth Van Cliburn International Piano Competition in 1993. Throughout her autobiography, one gets a sense of the degree to which Lympany loved living the good life, both in terms of her flair for fine fashion, food, wine, as well as travel, parties and society. Her contacts included many notable individuals, including figures of royalty. The archive of Lympany's musical career is located at the International Piano Archive at the University of Maryland (IPAM).

Join Mark Homer today as he interviews co-founder of award winning investment service Hargreaves Lansdown and majority shareholder of Bristol City FC, Stephen Lansdown CBE. Together they discuss the impact the pandemic has had on the financial market globally, why saving for your future is more important than ever and why people should take an active interest in their personal investments.   KEY TAKEAWAYS There is a lot of value accredited to trail commissions businesses, especially over the last 10-15 years. Company valuations that are based on repeat income seem stronger than those that are taking a one off chunk. If you’re giving a good service then a client will stay loyal to you and you will continue to take that income. The more clients you get the more assets you have got and the more fees you generate.   Governments are so much in debt due to the financial crisis and the pandemic, that you have to make your own precisions which is why saving is so important. Financial services platforms are in a good position to service that market. Healthcare, technology and renewable energy are good investment opportunities for now and the future.   Whilst the timing of it is hard to predict, the reality is there will be inflation at some point. Inflation is needed because that is how assets recover and how we get ourselves out of debt. Cash is not great at the moment and the alternative to that is equity investment which is why the stock market is benefiting massively.   There has always been a herd instinct in investment and many people tend to follow the crowd. You can follow it too far, and that is what makes the market. The market will not go up forever, and it will not go down forever, it will adjust along the way.   A wise way to use your money is to firstly ensure you have a certain amount in cash to meet your short term expenditure so that you are never caught short. Secondly, get some income that gives you a guaranteed return with fixed interest rates. Finally look towards investing in growth and income with either equity or property.   The fixed interest market is more of a property rental market these days. If you can find a good property/properties that can give you a good yield and can ensure you a good, guaranteed income then you can budget accordingly and make further investments along the way.   People should take an active interest in their investments, that is what the platform Hargreaves Lansdown has done for people. It allows people to look at all their investments in one place, to make decisions very quickly and to get information on those investments. You have got to plan for your later life and your family at the earliest possible stage. The stock market and investments markets are the best place to do that.           BEST MOMENTS “It was because other people were stealing our food off the table we decided to beat them at their own game.”   “As long as we give you a good service, as long as we make sure your money is secure and you’re happy and confident in what we’re doing, then you’re going to give us the instructions to do every transaction that you possibly can.”   “The moment of truth arrives as to where all the balls are going to land once the government starts to withdraw stamp duty holiday, furlough, grants and all the rest of it.”   “Everyone makes loads of money until the money stops coming in, and then it falls apart.”   “There is no working together for the common good.”   “They are all the ingredients for a good all around investment attitude.”   ABOUT THE GUEST: Stephen Philip Lansdown CBE is an English-born Guernsey billionaire. He co-founded the British financial services firm Hargreaves Lansdown with Peter Hargreaves. He is a founder of Bristol Sport and majority shareholder of Bristol Bears, Bristol Flyers, and Bristol City Football Club. Lansdown was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2017 Birthday Honours for services to business and the community in Bristol.   ABOUT THE HOST Mark Homer is an entrepreneur investor.  He has worked with investment since he was 15 years old using the laws of wealth! He is a spreadsheet analyst with an impressive following from major publications including BBC Radio, The Wall Street Journal, The Independent, and co-authoring the UK’s best-selling property books.  Mark has always looked for the best investment vehicle, and at the end of 2007 with Rob Moore the co-founder of Progressive Property his joint portfolio produced more profit than any of the other investments he’d tried in the last ten years, combined.

This history of the corporation is a meandering and expanding one but one thing that is common among them, more often than not, is that the profit motive overshadows the potential negative impacts they have on society and the place we all call home. While today’s landscape of corporate structure has broadened to include more mission driven, or worker owned structures, there remain mechanisms in place and questions left unasked that keep the corporation fundamentally flawed. In this session we will hear from leading experts who are asking those questions and are developing mechanisms that can radically move the goalpost. SPEAKERSColin Mayer is the Peter Moores Professor of Management Studies at the Saïd Business School at the University of Oxford.

When I asked Paul what "Leadership" means he focussed on the Fundamentals.3 things he believes strongly make good leaders: 1. Develop and forge strong teams to work together 2. Problem Solving - learn how to tackle complex decisions and empower those you lead3.Serve to Lead - lead by example and put your people before yourself.Leaders take “Extreme Ownership” of what happens. Too often in society and Politics people in leadership positions rarely take accountability for the impact of their decisions or poor behaviour.Paul Spoke of the crucial military philosophy of "Mission Command". Also to understand the key issues for your leader and that he can clearly encapsulate: "Commander’s Intent". Disciplined initiative is required by leaders to exploit fleeting opportunities.Put Stress the importance of delegation and empowerment so that decision-making is given to the leader at the point where the information is. Too often in business it is given to the person with the most senior role - who doesn't necessarily know what is going on.It is the responsibility of Leader to retain ultimate accountability - even if you give authority to others to act. He spoke of Good leaders vs Selfish individuals.Special qualities of British Army Officers - these are even more highly relevant to Business Employers today than ever before.Especially Reserve officers. These qualities are: Leadership development, decision making, problem solving, generating high performance teams & leading teams. We both Discussed the Executive Coaching skills of Army officers. I know that Paul is a experienced and high calibre executive coach himself and feels that these skills are crucial for army officers to develop and employ with all those the lead and influenceArmy leadership is very different from the traditional stereotypes people criticise. Less tell - more encouraging of greater self-awareness, to recognise blind spots, seek 360 Feedback, have coaches.

5, 4, 3, 2, 1 – Nerds Amalgamated Go! We are here once again with your irregular dose of fun, news, entertainment and educational synopsis that we like to call a show. We hope everyone is surviving the rigours and tortures of university, college, school, work, life, or whatever else it is you do. This week we have another exciting show for you all filled with space, games, and some viewing material to look forward to. We hope you enjoy and let us know what you think, we do listen. First up it is the 50th anniversary of the Apollo missions and Buck has brought us links to a number of different stories regarding them. Also, some of the myriad events that are happening around the world involved in the celebration for everyone to enjoy. We also talk about the movies inspired by events and documentaries about the rock stars who ride the bullet into space. What is your favourite Apollo story, movie, mission, or general piece of trivia? Drop us a line or post in the comments on the facebook page. Next up we look at this year’s less than stellar E3. The major highlight moments were the Keanu Reeves appearance at the launch of Cyberpunk 2077. Where he showed once again that indelible charm that makes everyone love him when people yelled out from the crowd. Why can’t he be the President of America? He would be a darn tooting sight better than almost everyone they have had for a long time. We also take a moment to acknowledge the fabulous Ikumi Nakamura, the director of Ghostwire Tokyo who just had fun. We also take a moment to glance at Devolver Studios and the madcap mayhem that is the ongoing saga of their E3 show. It is still so much more fun then must be legal. The biggest failure was the announcement that Bethesda is making Fallout 76 a battle royale (yayyyy, another one…yawn) in an attempt to save the game from becoming a complete failure (too late). This week the DJ has the story of Netflix planning a new series based on Tom Clancy’s The Division. The discussion runs through the idea, worrying at the potential failure of yet another game to cinema/television cross over. Further the potential overload of too many post-apocalyptic shows (no, not with zombies either, we discussed that). We do know two of the cast members Jessica Chastain and Jake Gyllenhaal, so it starts with two beautiful people surviving… or do they? This week’s games are: Buck is playing Assassins Creed 2 (Not Unity). Professor is still playing Cataclysm: Dark days ahead (Listen in for how he dies this week). DJ is once again playing Apex Legends We have the usual list of shout outs, remembrances, birthdays and special events. Hidden somewhere in the show is Buck telling us about a delightful Pug that doesn’t like being licked in return. Listen out for that, we have the link provided, it is funny. Other than that, we just wish to say thank you once again for listening and supporting us. We do appreciate it. Please remember to take care of yourselves and look out for each other, and drink lots of water to stay hydrated. Peace out.EPISODE NOTES:Apollo 50th Anniversary - http://www.astronomy.com/bonus/apollo_home - https://www.nasa.gov/specials/apollo50th/events.htmlE3 2019 - https://www.theguardian.com/games/2019/jun/10/e3-2019-biggest-news-xbox-bethesda-ubisoft-nintendo-square-enixThe Division now on Netflix - https://variety.com/2019/film/news/jessica-chastain-jake-gyllenhaal-the-division-movie-netflix-1203238700/Games Currently playingBuck – Assassin Creed 2 - https://store.steampowered.com/app/33230/Assassins_Creed_2_Deluxe_Edition/Professor – Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead - https://cataclysmdda.org/ DJ – Apex Legends - https://www.playstation.com/en-us/games/apex-legends-ps4/Other topics discussed[un]featured Articles (That’s Not Canon Podcast)- https://thatsnotcanon.com/ufapodcastMargaret Hamilton (Software engineer)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Hamilton_(software_engineer)The Dish (2000 Australian movie)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_DishPast Apollo programs- Apollo 8 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_8- Apollo 13 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_13List of Apollo missions- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Apollo_missions#Crewed_Apollo_missionsFunny Flat Earth and Anti Vax Shirt- Picture - https://image.spreadshirtmedia.com/image-server/v1/mp/products/T812A1MPA3140PT17X10Y30D1021097368FS5253/views/1,width=550,height=550,appearanceId=1,backgroundColor=F2F2F2,modelId=1237,crop=list,version=1557984561,modelImageVersion=1554797138/anti-vax-flat-earth-mens-premium-t-shirt.jpg- Purchase Link - https://www.spreadshirt.com/shop/design/anti+vax+flat+earth+mens+premium+t-shirt-D5c662501f937645575149bc8Mars One- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_OneHow long does it take to go to Mars from Earth?- https://www.universetoday.com/14841/how-long-does-it-take-to-get-to-mars/Falltout 76 battle royale: Nuclear Winter- https://www.gamesradar.com/au/fallout-76-battle-royale-mode-nuclear-winter/Legend of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild 2- https://www.gamespot.com/articles/legend-of-zelda-breath-of-the-wild-2-revealed-for-/1100-6467700/Keanu Reeves in Cyberpunk 2077- https://www.gameinformer.com/e3-2019/2019/06/11/keanu-reeves-is-more-than-a-cameo-in-cyberpunk-2077Battle Royale game from Devolver Studios: Fall Guys- https://techcrunch.com/2019/06/12/fall-guys-is-a-kinder-gentler-battle-royale/Devolver Bootleg - https://store.steampowered.com/app/1066260/Devolver_Bootleg/Ikumi Nakamura captures internet hearts- https://www.cnet.com/news/e3-2019-ghostwire-tokyo-director-ikumi-nakamura-captures-the-internets-heart/Netflix games announced on E3- https://www.techradar.com/au/news/netflix-teases-new-games-at-e3-2019-including-a-location-based-stranger-things-mobile-rpgThe Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Tactics- https://www.ign.com/articles/2019/06/11/dark-crystal-age-of-resistance-tactics-announced-e3-2019Collection and Trials of Mana now available on the Switch- https://www.forbes.com/sites/olliebarder/2019/06/12/collection-of-mana-is-now-available-on-the-switch-and-trials-of-mana-is-released-next-year/#4b9cd85b4876Revolution (TV Series)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolution_(TV_series)Prince of Persia : The Sand of Time (2010 film) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_of_Persia:_The_Sands_of_Time_(film)Prince of Persia (game franchise)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_of_PersiaMovies Jake Gyllenhaal acted- City Slickers (1991 movie) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_Slickers- Zodiac (2007 movie) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zodiac_(film)- Nightcrawler (2014 movie) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nightcrawler_(film)Movies Jessica Chastin acted- Lawless (2012 movie) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawless_(film)Pug doesn’t like being licked - https://www.reddit.com/r/Whatthefuckgetitoffme/comments/77pqrb/pug_doesnt_like_to_taste_its_own_medicine/Michael Jordan (American former professional basketball player)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_JordanWayne Gardner (Australian former professional Grand Prix motorcycle and touring car racer)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayne_GardnerLady Godiva, Countess of Mercia- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lady_GodivaShoutouts8 Jun 2019 - Ashleigh Barty Wins the French Open - https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/08/sports/french-open-ashleigh-barty-marketa-vondrousova.html 11 Jun 1955 - The 1955 Le Mans disaster occurred during the 24 Hours of Le Mans motor race at Circuit de la Sarthe in Le Mans, France on 11 June 1955.

He was among the top box office draws for three decades. He starred in 142 motion pictures altogether. According to one biographer, "John Wayne personified for millions the nation's frontier heritage. Eighty-three of his movies were Westerns, and in them he played cowboys, cavalrymen, and unconquerable loners extracted from the Republic's central creation myth." He appeared with many important Hollywood stars of his era and made his last public appearance at the Academy Awards ceremony on April 9, 1979. He died of stomach cancer at 72 in Los Angeles, California - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Wayne11 Jun 1999 - DeForest Kelley, known to colleagues as "De", was an American actor, screenwriter, poet and singer known for his roles in Westerns and as Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy of the USS Enterprise in the television and film series Star Trek (1966–1991).

Peck also received Oscar nominations for his roles in The Keys of the Kingdom, The Yearling, Gentleman's Agreement, and Twelve O'Clock High. Other notable films in which he appeared include Moby Dick (1956, and its 1998 mini-series), The Guns of Navarone, Cape Fear (1962, and its 1991 remake), How the West Was Won, The Omen (1976), and The Boys from Brazil. U.S. President Lyndon Johnson honored Peck with the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1969 for his lifetime humanitarian efforts. In 1999, the American Film Institute named Peck among Greatest Male Stars of Classic Hollywood cinema, ranking him at No. 12.

His reputation was so great that he was requested during the 1850s by the French government to help put down a tribal rebellion in Algeria using his skills. This is surely a feat that not many magicians can boast about.

For the tenth episode of Talking Classical, I thought it would be fun to do something a little different and relive one of my archive interviews I recorded when I was a student. In 2013, I was very lucky to interview the British composer, broadcaster and writer Howard Goodall. Due to Howard's incredibly busy schedule, we met during the interval of a concert his daughter was performing in at the Sheldonian Theatre in Oxford - we recorded in a rather cozy and small space underneath the theatre itself! In this interview, you'll hear about Howard's experiences of Oxford and his television series The Story of Music, which was being shown on the BBC at the time. Special thanks to: Emily Rees Jones at PBJ Management for kindly arranging the interview. Howard for taking the time out of his very busy schedule to talk to me. Visit Howard's website: www.howardgoodall.co.uk. Watch The Story of Music here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0Y6NPahlDE&list=PLQNuUaKJvEpoP4OTYb2NQ8lihO--M1J99. Howard is an EMMY, BRIT and BAFTA award-winning composer of choral music, stage musicals, film and TV scores. He is a distinguished music historian and broadcaster. In recent years he has been England’s first ever National Ambassador for Singing, the Classical Brit Composer of the Year and was Classic FM’s Composer-in-Residence for 6 years. In the 2011 New Year Honours he was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) for services to music education.
