Our guest today is an exciting new voice in singer-songwriter music—Sebastian Schub. The British-German artist first made a name for himself busking in London and Dublin before shifting to original music, leading to his breakout track Sing Like Madonna. With 15 million Spotify streams, the song is drawing comparisons to Hozier and Michael Marcagi thanks to his rich baritone and powerful storytelling. While in Australia for special showcases, Sebastian joins us to chat about Sing Like Madonna, the breaking point that nearly made him quit songwriting, the balance between mathematical precision and gut instinct in crafting a song, and what's next—including new music on the horizon.Sebastian Schub : Instagram / Spotify Visit our official website here and follow us across our socials.

You can currently experience the piece “Hamlet” at the Sydney Opera House. It is a demanding, contemporary performance that challenges the musicians as well as the audience. The music was composed by Australian Brett Dean and, in addition to a Dolby Surround sound concept, also integrates unusual elements such as water bottles, an accordion and electronic sounds. Bringing all this together is a challenge that the young British-German conductor Tim Anderson set himself during his Sydney Opera House debut. - Derzeit kann man das Stück „Hamlet“ im Sydney Opera House erleben. Es ist eine anspruchsvolle, zeitgemäße Aufführung, die die Musiker genau so fordert wie die Zuschauerinnen und Zuschauer. Die Musik wurde vom Australier Brett Dean komponiert und integriert neben einem Dolby Surround Klangkonzept auch ungewöhnliche Elemente wie Wasserflaschen, ein Akkordeon und elektronische Klänge. Dies alles zusammenzubringen, ist eine Herausforderung, der sich der junge Britisch-Deutsche Dirigent Tim Anderson bei seinem Sydney Opera House Debüt mit Bravour gestellt hat.

In this episode, Chris Clark talks with Esra Özyürek about the backstories behind conversions to Islam in today's Germany. Converts to Islam in Germany number about 100,000 according to current estimates. What motivates German converts to take this step? And what kind of step is it? How are converts viewed by the communities they seek to join and how are they seen by mainstream German society? And what does the convert's journey across boundaries tell us about national and social belonging? A conversation about identity, difference and the place of religion in a secular society.Professor Esra Ozyurek joined University of Cambridge after having taught at the London School of Economics and University of California, San Deigo.

The rogue planet Medusa arrives in our solar system. Beneath its surface is an advanced alien civilisation where women rule and men are slaves. Adam and Shem steal a space yacht and travel to Earth, a paradise where it is rumoured that men are in charge and women obey. Hot in pursuit are Security Chief Octavia and Councillor Fulvia, Adam's owner. A space adventure series, a satire on the battle of the sexes, a SF parody, or a seriously intended rival to Gerry Anderson's Century 21 productions? Star Maidens is a mass of contradictions wrapped in Seventies disco futurism and C&A fashion disasters. Joining host Gareth Preston to try and untangle this British/German patchwork is Dr Rebecca Wray and Kevin Hiley.

Part of legendary director Alfred Hitchcock's "9," The Pleasure Garden marks his directorial debut with this British-German wonder. For the Master of Suspense, Hitchcock shows in this film many of the talents he would develop eventually, notably a great mastery of image composition and lighting, with a probable influence of German expressionism in his use of shadow and on-location shooting to natural sets to recreate the appropriate atmosphere. Patsy (Carmelita Geraghty) is a young chorus girl at Mr. Hamilton's Pleasure Garden Theatre in London. One evening after the show, she meets Jill (Virginia Valli) whose money and letter of introduction to Mr. Hamilton have just been stolen. Offering help to Jill, Patsy takes her home and promises to introduce her to the boss. Jill manages to convince Hamilton that she should be the lead, and eventually begins to climb up the social ladder, leaving behind Patsy and her fiancé, Hugh (John Stuart), being courted by rich men, notably the wealthy Prince Ivan. Hugh's partner Levet (Miles Mander) convinces Patsy to marry him, though it turns to be a false romance. An excellent watch for WSF and every new viewer, "This first production of Alfred Hitchcock promises much for the future." The Pordenone Silent Film Festival, October 3rd - October 10th!

The former West German chancellor Helmut Schmidt grew up as a devout Anglophile, yet he clashed heavily and repeatedly with his British counterparts Wilson, Callaghan, and Thatcher during his time in office between 1974 and 1982. Helmut Schmidt and British-German Relations: A European Misunderstanding (Cambridge University Press, 2019) looks at Schmidt's personal experience to explore how and why Britain and Germany rarely saw eye to eye over European integration, uncovering the two countries' deeply competing visions and incompatible strategies for post-war Europe. But it also zooms out to reveal the remarkable extent of simultaneous British-German cooperation in fostering joint European interests on the wider international stage, not least within the transatlantic alliance against the background of a worsening superpower relationship. By connecting these two key areas of bilateral cooperation, Mathias Haeussler of the University of Regensburg offers a major revisionist reinterpretation of Anglo-German bilateral relationship under Schmidt, relevant to anybody interested in British-German relations, European integration, and the Cold War. Charles Coutinho Ph. D. of the Royal Historical Society, received his doctorate from New York University. His area of specialization is 19th and 20th-century European, American diplomatic and political history. He has written recently for Chatham House's International Affairs.
