DescriptionIn the wake of the news this week of Pope Francis' death, I immediately wondered what we could do here at Better Preach to honor his legacy, teaching and example - particularly around Preaching. For a while I wanted to do a dive into his first major letter to the Church, the Joy of the Gospel, from 2013, and look closely at his lengthy section in that document on homiletics. And thanks to Fr. Craig Vasek, who joined me way back in the beginning on episode 2 of Better Preach, he agreed to join me again at the last minute here to look back at Pope Francis' longest magisterial teaching on Preaching. Father Craig Vasek currently serves as pastor of St. Bernard's Catholic Church in Thief River Falls, Minnesota. Ordained in 2010 as a priest of the Diocese of Crookston, Minnesota, Fr. Vasek is a graduate of the Pontifical North American College in Vatican City, having obtained a Licentiate of Sacred Theology in 2011. Father Vasek has worked extensively with the Missionaries of Charity of Saint Teresa of Calcutta in Europe, Asia, Africa, and North America. He has produced works on the topics of Scripture and the Spiritual Life, and served as Specialist for the National Eucharist Revival with the US Conference of Catholic Bishops.Check out Fr. Vasek's homilies here on: Podbean: https://stbernards.podbean.comSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6mwAvHPBm7c0pjGYUZxWEdLinksFor more information about the Better Preach Podcast visit: www.ryanohara.org/betterpreachBetter Preach Podcast is now on YouTube.

In this special episode, historian Corinne Fowler joins EMPIRE LINES live with visual artist and researcher Ingrid Pollard, linking rural British landscapes, buildings, and houses, to global histories of transatlantic slavery, through their book, Our Island Stories: Country Walks Through Colonial Britain (2024).Though integral to national identity in Britain, the countryside is rarely seen as having anything to do with British colonialism. In Our Island Stories, historian Corinne Fowler brings together rural life and colonial rule, through ten country walks with various companions. These journeys combine local and global history, connecting the Cotswolds to Calcutta, Dolgellau to Virginia, and Grasmere to Canton. They also highlight how the British Empire transformed rural lives, whether in Welsh sheep farms or Cornish copper mines, presenting both opportunity and exploitation.Corinne explains how the booming profits of overseas colonial activities directly contributed to enclosure, land clearances, and dispossession in England. They highlight how these histories, usually considered separately, persist in the lives of their descendants and our landscapes today. We explore the two-way flows of colonial plant cultures, as evident in WIlliam Wordsworth's 19th century poems about daffodils, as contemporary works of literature by Chinua Achebe and Grace Nichols.Contemporary artist - and walking companion - Ingrid Pollard shares their research into ferns, seeds, and magic, across Northumberland, the Lake District, and South West England, Ingrid details histories of lacemaking in Devon and Cornwall, and we explore representations of ‘African' and Caribbean flowers in art. Bringing together Ingrid and Corinne's works, installed at the exhibition, Invasion Ecology, at Southcombe Barn on Dartmoor, we also explore their previous collaborations including the project, Colonial Countryside: National Trust Houses Reimagined. Plus, Corinne questions ‘cancel culture' in the British media and academia, drawing on their experiences as Professor of Colonialism and Heritage in Museum Studies at the University of Leicester.Our Island Stories: Country Walks Through Colonial Britain by Corinne Fowler is published by Penguin, and available in all good bookshops and online. You can pre-order the paperback, released on 1 May 2025. This episode was recorded live as part of the programme for Invasion Ecology, co-curated by Jelena Sofronijevic for Radical Ecology, and Vashti Cassinelli at Southcombe Barn, an arts space and gardens on Dartmoor. The central group exhibition, featuring Ingrid Pollard, Iman Datoo, Hanna Tuulikki, Ashish Ghadiali, Fern Leigh Albert, and Ashanti Hare, ran from 1 June to 10 August 2024.The wider programme featured anti-colonial talks and workshops with exhibiting artists, writers, researchers, and gardeners, reimagining more empathic connections between humans, plants, animals, and landscapes.

Hear about travel to Kolkata, India (formerly Calcutta) as the Amateur Traveler talks to Sam Sarkar from Travels with Dr. Sam about this city built by the British East India Company. Why should you go to Kolkata? Sam says, "It's a real hidden secret. This is a city that has grand colonial buildings. It used to be the second city of the British Empire for the longest time. The first US consulate in the world was set up in Kolkata even before Thomas Jefferson was president in the late 17 hundreds. It's a city that has produced six Nobel laureates. There's a lot of art and culture festivals, and outstanding food. So I think there's a lot to see." What Dr. Sam Recommends in Kolkata: 1. Start with European Heritage & Colonial Architecture Walking Tour with Calcutta Walks — Sam's top recommendation for understanding Kolkata's colonial history and European architecture. Highlights include: Victoria Memorial — "British Taj Mahal," the most spectacular building in Kolkata. St. Paul's Cathedral St. John's Church, Kolkata (oldest Anglican church) High Court Building Writers' Building General Post Office, Kolkata Governor's House The Lalit Great Eastern Kolkata (oldest continuously operating hotel in Asia — Mark Twain stayed there) TIP: Go on a Sunday or during off-hours for less crowd. Buildings are beautifully lit at night. ... https://amateurtraveler.com/travel-to-kolkata-india/ Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ https://www.bastabugie.it/8123OMELIA DOM. DELLE PALME - ANNO C (Lc 22,14-23.56) di Don Stefano Bimbi La Domenica delle Palme apre la Settimana Santa: i giorni in cui riviviamo il cuore della fede cristiana. Non si tratta solo di ricordare eventi del passato. Si tratta di entrare, anche noi, nella Passione di Gesù, lasciandoci trasformare.UN MOMENTO DI INTIMITÀ CON IL PADRE: ANDÒ AL MONTE DEGLI ULIVIGesù "uscì e andò, come al solito, al monte degli Ulivi; anche i discepoli lo seguirono". Egli aveva l'abitudine di ritirarsi in preghiera, ad esempio prima della scelta dei dodici apostoli. Anche noi abbiamo bisogno di momenti di silenzio e di preghiera per affrontare le sfide della vita: il lavoro, le relazioni, le incertezze sul futuro. Spesso siamo distratti, presi dalla frenesia o dalle distrazioni digitali. Gesù ci mostra che la preghiera non è un optional, ma una necessità.Quando è l'ultima volta che hai cercato un momento di silenzio per parlare con Dio? Cosa ti impedisce di farlo regolarmente? Come puoi trasformare un luogo o un momento della tua giornata in un "monte degli Ulivi" personale?San Francesco d'Assisi, nella sua vita, cercava spesso la solitudine per pregare, come quando si ritirava nei boschi o nelle grotte. Anche nei momenti di dubbio o sofferenza, trovava forza nell'abbandono a Dio, come quando disse: "Signore, che vuoi che io faccia?". Si sentì rispondere: "Va' e ripara la mia casa".L'INVITO ALLA VIGILANZA: PREGATE, PER NON ENTRARE IN TENTAZIONEGesù, giunto al Getsemani, dice ai discepoli: "Pregate, per non entrare in tentazione". Queste parole sono un monito per noi oggi. La "tentazione" non è solo il peccato, ma anche la stanchezza, la paura, la disperazione che ci fanno perdere di vista ciò che è veramente importante. Nella tua vita, quali sono le tentazioni che ti allontanano da Dio o dai principi cristiani? Potrebbe essere la pressione sociale, la ricerca del successo a tutti i costi, la paura di fallire, ecc.Gesù ci invita a essere vigili, a non "addormentarci" come i discepoli, che erano sopraffatti dalla tristezza. La preghiera non è solo parlare con Dio, ma anche ascoltare, lasciarsi guidare. È un'àncora che ci tiene saldi nelle tempeste. In quali momenti senti di essere più vulnerabile alla tentazione? Quali sono le "tentazioni" che ti distraggono dalla relazione con Dio o con gli altri? Come puoi essere più vigile e attivo nella tua vita spirituale? Da quanto tempo non vai a parlare con il tuo padre spirituale?Santa Teresa di Calcutta, pur vivendo nella povertà e nel caos delle strade, trovava tempo ogni giorno per pregare: ogni mattina tre ore che comprendevano la Santa Messa, l'adorazione e la meditazione personale. Diceva: "Nella preghiera troviamo la forza per affrontare qualsiasi sfida". La sua vigilanza spirituale le ha permesso di non cedere mai alla disperazione, anche nei momenti più difficili.LA LOTTA UMANA DI GESÙ: ALLONTANA DA ME QUESTO CALICENella Passione vediamo Gesù nella sua umanità. Chiede al Padre di allontanare da Lui il "calice", cioè la sofferenza e la morte che lo attendono. È una preghiera sincera, che rivela paura e angoscia, ma termina con un atto di fiducia: "Tuttavia non sia fatta la mia, ma la tua volontà". Questo ci insegna che è normale avere paura, sentirsi sopraffatti. La vera forza non sta nel basarsi sulle nostre forze, ma nell'affidarsi a Dio, anche quando non capiamo il suo progetto.Per noi questo può significare affrontare una scelta difficile soprattutto quando la malattia e la sofferenza, la solitudine e l'abbandono, bussano alla nostra porta inaspettatamente o per lungo tempo. Qual è il "calice" che fatichi ad accettare nella tua vita? Una situazione che non scegli, ma ti tocca vivere? Riesci a dire, come Gesù, "non sia fatta la mia, ma la tua volontà" o ti senti bloccato dalla paura o dall'angoscia?San Massimiliano Maria Kolbe accattò il calice della sofferenza quando offrì la sua vita per salvare quella di un padre di famiglia in un lager nazista. Nel bunker della fame e della sete, riservato a chi aveva tentato di evadere, non si abbandonò alla tristezza o alla disperazione, ma pregava e cantava in onore di Dio e della Madonna coinvolgendo gli altri condannati per far loro rivolgere lo sguardo al Cielo. Non morì di fame, ma dopo lunghi giorni di indicibile sofferenza gli fu praticata una iniezione letale. La sua vicenda sarebbe potuta rimanere sconosciuta, mentre ebbe una diffusione planetaria grazie ai testimoni oculari sopravvissuti alla prigionia.LA LOTTA INTERIORE: IL SUO SUDORE DIVENTÒ COME GOCCE DI SANGUEGesù, nella preghiera, lotta intensamente, tanto che il suo sudore diventa "come gocce di sangue". Questa immagine ci mostra quanto fosse reale la sua sofferenza, sia quella fisica che quella spirituale. Non era una recita con degli attori, ma una battaglia interiore tra la sua volontà umana e la missione che il Padre gli aveva affidato.Anche noi, a volte, viviamo battaglie interiori: dubbi sulla fede, sensi di colpa, pressioni esterne. Quali sono le tue "battaglie interiori" attuali? Come affronti queste lotte? Ti chiudi in te stesso, o cerchi conforto in Dio, nella preghiera e nei sacramenti? Come puoi trasformare queste difficoltà in un momento di crescita?San Giovanni Bosco, educando i giovani difficili del suo tempo, affrontò molte sfide e opposizioni. Una volta, per eliminarlo, chiamarono il manicomio dicendo che il sacerdote era diventato pazzo. Quando arrivò il mezzo trainato da cavalli per prenderlo capì dove l'avrebbero portato gli infermieri. Allora li convinse a salire prima loro e poi, anziché seguirli anche lui, chiuse lo sportello dicendo al cocchiere di andare via velocemente. I poveretti gridavano di non essere loro i pazzi, ma lui non gli dette retta visto che chi è veramente pazzo non sa di esserlo e le loro grida confermavano questa regola. La forza e l'astuzia di don Bosco veniva dalla preghiera e dalla fiducia in Dio, anche quando tutto sembrava perduto e tutti gli erano contro.L'APPELLO ALLA RESPONSABILITÀ: PERCHÉ DORMITE? ALZATEVI E PREGATEGesù trova i discepoli che dormono "per la tristezza". Non sono cattivi, ma fragili, distratti, incapaci di sostenere la prova. Quante volte anche noi ci "addormentiamo" spiritualmente, lasciando che la pigrizia, la distrazione o la paura ci tengano lontani dal cammino spirituale? Gesù li invita ad alzarsi e a pregare, a non arrendersi alla tentazione.Per noi questo può significare prendere decisioni coraggiose che diano una svolta alla nostra vita. Non possiamo permetterci di "dormire" quando il mondo ha bisogno di testimoni di Cristo.In quali aree della tua vita stai "dormendo" spiritualmente o moralmente? Cosa puoi fare, oggi, per "alzarti" e rispondere all'appello di Gesù?Santa Giovanna d'Arco, nonostante la sua giovane età, non si tirò indietro davanti alle voci dei santi che le dicevano che avrebbe salvato la Francia dall'invasore Inglese. Fu vigilante e coraggiosa, guidata dalla preghiera e dalla fiducia in Dio, anche quando tutti le voltarono le spalle, incluso Carlo VII che era riuscita a fare incoronare re di Francia.LUCE NELLE TENEBRE: IL TRADIMENTO DI GIUDA E LA REAZIONE DI GESÙQuando Giuda arriva per tradire Gesù con un bacio, vediamo il contrasto tra l'amore di Cristo e la malvagità umana. Gesù non reagisce con rabbia o violenza, ma con dignità e misericordia, guarendo persino l'orecchio del servo del sommo sacerdote che Pietro aveva mozzato con la spada. Questo ci insegna che, anche quando siamo feriti o traditi, dobbiamo rispondere con amore e perdono.Nella tua vita, hai mai sperimentato un tradimento come quello di Giuda o una delusione da parte di persone di cui ti fidavi? Come hai reagito? Come puoi imitare Gesù, scegliendo la misericordia invece della vendetta? Santo Stefano, il primo martire, mentre veniva lapidato, pregò per i suoi persecutori, dicendo: "Signore, non imputare loro questo peccato". La sua testimonianza di perdono è un esempio luminoso di come seguire Cristo anche nelle situazioni più dolorose. Santo Stefano è il primo ad aver seguito Gesù sulla via del martirio, ma è anche il primo dopo Gesù a perdonare i suoi persecutori.VIVERE SPIRITUALMENTE LA SETTIMANA SANTAOggi siamo entrati nella Settimana Santa con il ricordo della Domenica delle Palme: lasciamo che il racconto della Passione ci accompagni. Gesù ci mostra la strada: la preghiera, la fiducia in Dio, la vigilanza e il perdono. Non si tratta solo di ricordare ciò che è accaduto 2000 anni fa, ma di vivere oggi, nella nostra vita, la stessa passione di Cristo.Fai di tutto per partecipare il più possibile alle celebrazioni della Settimana Santa: la Messa del Giovedì Santo, la Via Crucis del Venerdì Santo, la Veglia Pasquale.Che questi giorni siano per ciascuno di noi un tempo di grazia, di conversione e di rinnovato impegno a seguire Cristo con tutto il cuore, confidando nell'aiuto costante di Dio che ci sostiene in ogni passo del nostro cammino.

“The Tragic Life of Classic Cinema Star Gail Russell” (082) - 4/07/2025 Hollywood legend has it that ethereal beauty GAIL RUSSELL was discovered after a Paramount Studios talent manager picked up two hitchhiking Santa Monica high school boys who told him all about the "Hedy Lamarr of Santa Monica High School." Allegedly, he then tracked down Russell at school and arranged for a screen test. The rest, as they say, is Hollywood history. If only it had been that easy. Russell, who was painfully shy and had no interest in a career as an actress was pushed in front of the camera by her ambitious mother and the executives at Paramount who saw dollar signs in her startling blue eyes. This week, we explore the life and career of one of Hollywood's most tragic beauties, GAIL RUSSELL.  SHOW NOTES:  Sources: Fallen Star: A Biography of Gail Russell (2016), by Steven Glenn Ochoa; John Wayne: The Life and Legend (2015), by Scott Erman; It's the Pictures That Got Smaller: Charles Brackett on Billy Wilder (2104), edited by Anthony Slide; “Paramount Official Biography of Gail Russell,” March 1940, Paramount Pictures; “Gail Russell,” May 1971, by Jim Meyer, Film Fan Monthly; “Stars Attend Funeral of Gail Russell,” August 30, 1961, Los Angeles Times; “Private Rites Scheduled Today for Gail Russell,” August 29, 1961, Los Angeles Times; “Gail Russell Found Dead At Home,” May 28, 1961, Los Angeles Times; “Gail Russell Threatens to Sue on Wayne Case Charge,” October 21, 1953, The Los Angeles Evening Herald & Express; “Gail Russell Held On Drunk Driving Charges,” November 25, 1953, Los Angeles Times; “Film Star Gail Russell Jailed As Drunk Driver,” November 25, 1953, LA Daily News; “Gail Russell Fights Drunk Driving Charge; Trial Set,” November 27, 1953, The Los Angeles Evening Herald & Express; “Gail Russell Charges $150 Drunk Charge,” January 18, 1954, The Los Angeles Evening Herald & Express; Wikipedia.com; TCM.com; IMDBPro.com; Movies Mentioned:  Henry Aldrich Gets Glamour (1943), starring James Lydon & Diana Lynn; Lady In The Dark (1944), starring Ginger Rogers & Ray Milland; The Uninvited (1944), starring Ray Milland, Ruth Hussey, & Gail Russell; Our Hearts Were Young And Gay (1944), starring Gail Russell & Diana Lynn; Salty O'Rourke (1945), starring Alan Ladd & Gail Russell; The Unseen (1945), starring Joel McCrea & Gail Russell; Our Hearts Were Growing Up (1946), starring Gail Russell & Diana Lynn; Calcutta (1947), starring Alan Ladd & Gail Russell; Angel And The Badman (1947), starring John Wayne & Gail Russell; Night Has A Thousand Eyes (1948), starring Edward G.

Rav Yosef Chaim (1835-1909), better known by his popular work Ben Ish Chai, was an important leader of the Baghdad Jewish community of the 19th century, whose influence reached across the Ottoman Empire and beyond. Having grown up in the rabbinical aristocracy of Baghdad, he succeeded his father's position in 1859, serving the Jewish community for the next half century. This was primarily through his masterful oratorical skills, which he delivered twice daily, every Shabbos and on special occasions to the entire community. He wrote tens of works on the entire gamut of Torah literature, and financed his own publication costs to have them printed in Jerusalem. He made a historic journey to the Land of Israel in 1869, and at the end of his life inspired the Calcutta based philanthropist Yosef Avraham Shalom to fund the establishment of the famed Porat Yosef yeshiva. His innovative halachic methodology influences the world of Sephardic psak until today.   Subscribe to Jewish History Soundbites Podcast on: PodBean: https://jsoundbites.podbean.com/ or your favorite podcast platform Follow us on LinkedIn, Twitter or Instagram at @Jsoundbites For sponsorship opportunities about your favorite topics of Jewish history or feedback contact Yehuda at:  yehuda@yehudageberer.com

For the past three decades, Don Dahler has been a fixture on national network news covering the world's biggest stories-global wars, presidential elections, school shootings, natural disasters. Now, drawn from the journals he kept for most of his life, Don charts his unlikely rise from a teenage runaway to an award-winning correspondent and anchor in SOUVENIRS FROM AN ABSURD LIFE (Post Hill Press, February 25, 2025). As a young man, chance encounters with baseball idol Mickey Mantle and legendary sports broadcaster Dick Enberg changed the trajectory of Don's life. Rejecting the prospects of a dim, boring, unfulfilling future, he set out to tell stories that mattered. He worked his way up from local TV stations in Texas and North Carolina and went on to cover the most important stories of the times for Fox News, CNBC, ABC News, and CBS News, reporting from more than 120 countries and often living abroad for months at a time. Don was the first network correspondent to report live from the scene on 9/11 and reported extensively from Afghanistan and Iraq in the months and years that followed. As a documentary filmmaker he traveled to Calcutta, Johannesburg, Taipei, and thousands of places in between. He's interviewed Nobel Prize recipients, future presidents, Olympic champions, and countless movie stars. He's been shot (twice), had lions stalk outside his tent in Africa, tamed a wild fruit bat, and flown in an ultralight airplane over the heads of elephants.

This is a very special episode that takes a look into a region famous for tea production for over a hundred years, Darjeeling. Alex took a recent three week tour of some old tea estates and some interesting cooperatives out on the border between India and Nepal. They toured many estates all around Darjeeling, from the Calcutta to the Nepali boarder. Alex recounts his meeting with the father of Moonlight White tea, an Indian Gentleman by the name of Rajah Banerjee. While we currently don't sell any Indian teas not he One River Tea Website, there is one special cooperative mentioned toward the end of the episode that we look forward to cooperating with in the future, that's the Fall Orthodox in the Sample Freebie we got from out in Sitong.In the meantime, for all you Indian tea connoisseurs, we highly recommend checking out Ketlee Teas, thats ketlee.in we have a great respect for the main force behind the project Susmit Pratik, Alex mentioned that he saw some tea from the Okayti Estate on offer, which is in Alex's opinion the most legitimate of the old estates.

Full Text of ReadingsFirst Sunday of Lent Lectionary: 24The Saint of the day is Saint Frances of RomeSaint Frances of Rome's Story Frances' life combines aspects of secular and religious life. A devoted and loving wife, she longed for a lifestyle of prayer and service, so she organized a group of women to minister to the needs of Rome's poor. Born of wealthy parents, Frances found herself attracted to the religious life during her youth. But her parents objected and a young nobleman was selected to be her husband. As she became acquainted with her new relatives, Frances soon discovered that the wife of her husband's brother also wished to live a life of service and prayer. So the two, Frances and Vannozza, set out together—with their husbands' blessings—to help the poor. Frances fell ill for a time, but this apparently only deepened her commitment to the suffering people she met. The years passed, and Frances gave birth to two sons and a daughter. With the new responsibilities of family life, the young mother turned her attention more to the needs of her own household. The family flourished under Frances' care, but within a few years a great plague began to sweep across Italy. It struck Rome with devastating cruelty and left Frances' second son dead. In an effort to help alleviate some of the suffering, Frances used all her money and sold her possessions to buy whatever the sick might possibly need. When all the resources had been exhausted, Frances and Vannozza went door to door begging. Later, Frances' daughter died, and the saint opened a section of her house as a hospital. Frances became more and more convinced that this way of life was so necessary for the world, and it was not long before she requested and was given permission to found a society of women bound by no vows. They simply offered themselves to God and to the service of the poor. Once the society was established, Frances chose not to live at the community residence, but rather at home with her husband. She did this for seven years, until her husband passed away, and then came to live the remainder of her life with the society—serving the poorest of the poor. Reflection Looking at the exemplary life of fidelity to God and devotion to her fellow human beings which Frances of Rome was blessed to lead, one cannot help but be reminded of Saint Teresa of Calcutta, who loved Jesus Christ in prayer and also in the poor. The life of Frances of Rome calls each of us not only to look deeply for God in prayer, but also to carry our devotion to Jesus living in the suffering of our world. Frances shows us that this life need not be restricted to those bound by vows. Saint Frances of Rome is the Patron Saint of: MotoristsWidows Click here for more on Saint Frances of Rome!

Why did Mother Teresa of Calcutta and Pope John Paul II go to confession every week? They were not robbing banks. (Rumor has it, Pope John Paul II had a Redemptorist in Rome as his regular confessor.) I think these saints went to confession every week because they learned the lesson that Isaiah the Prophet, Paul the Evangelist, and Peter the Apostle learned: we are totally dependent upon the grace of God.  These saints knew who they were. Peter expressed it this way: “Depart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man,” while Isaiah pronounced: “I am a man of unclean lips, living among a people of unclean lips.” They might also have had the same hesitations that we have; that God might ask of us something that we are not ready to give. God's gaze is not on this world, but on the Kingdom to come, our true home. When God looks deeply into our hearts, God sees all the talents and strengths that are uniquely yours. You can reach people that no one else can - and we may all have hidden gifts that we are not even aware of! Oh, but I am too young, you might be thinking. Isaiah probably said the same. Oh, I have so much in my past that I am not proud of. Peter had the same reservations. I am not worthy to be called a disciple of Christ. Certainly, Saul of Tarsus was only too aware of his rebellious past. Or, we may be thinking at this moment that my best days are behind me. What could God expect out of me? But God does not see us that way. God looks upon us with tender love and hopefulness.  I like to conclude with a story of a man named Harry Lipzig. He was a lawyer, but he did not practice law. He ran the shop. He worked the business end of the firm. But that changed when Harry took on a case when he was 88 years old. It was the case of a woman whose 71 year old husband was struck and killed by a drunken city employee driving his city vehicle. She was suing the city for the future earnings that she was deprived of due to her husbands death.  The city thought they had a solid case. What was a 71 year old going to earn, anyway? Their clever case was undermined however, when they realized that the woman had hired an 88 year old lawyer. She was awarded $1.25 million. The truth is, the world still needs prophets. We still need people to express what is noble and deepest within us. The world still needs people who do not merely catch fish, but catch people in the unconditional love of God. The voice of God can come to us at any age and asks us the same question asked to Isaiah: “Whom shall I send? Who will go for me?” Scripture prompts us to answer: “Here I am, Lord; send me.”  

For the past three decades, Don Dahler has been a fixture on national network news covering the world's biggest stories-global wars, presidential elections, school shootings, natural disasters. Now, drawn from the journals he kept for most of his life, Don charts his unlikely rise from a teenage runaway to an award-winning correspondent and anchor in SOUVENIRS FROM AN ABSURD LIFE (Post Hill Press, February 25, 2025). As a young man, chance encounters with baseball idol Mickey Mantle and legendary sports broadcaster Dick Enberg changed the trajectory of Don's life. Rejecting the prospects of a dim, boring, unfulfilling future, he set out to tell stories that mattered. He worked his way up from local TV stations in Texas and North Carolina and went on to cover the most important stories of the times for Fox News, CNBC, ABC News, and CBS News, reporting from more than 120 countries and often living abroad for months at a time. Don was the first network correspondent to report live from the scene on 9/11 and reported extensively from Afghanistan and Iraq in the months and years that followed. As a documentary filmmaker he traveled to Calcutta, Johannesburg, Taipei, and thousands of places in between. He's interviewed Nobel Prize recipients, future presidents, Olympic champions, and countless movie stars. He's been shot (twice), had lions stalk outside his tent in Africa, tamed a wild fruit bat, and flown in an ultralight airplane over the heads of elephants. These and more incredible adventures are collected in SOUVENIRS FROM AN ABSURD LIFE, a memoir that is full of humor, heart, and grit-and also nine-lives-level luck and good timing. Don's insider's account of the highly competitive world of network news also revisits a bygone era of broadcast journalism-one with robust budgets and an appetite for foreign reporting. And he reveals which stars aren't who they pretend to be, how his reporting on 9/11 was co-opted by conspiracy theorists, and what goes on behind the scenes of the country's powerful media channels.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

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.

What do Fareed Zakaria, Nikki Haley, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, Google CEO Sundar Pichai, Vinod Khosla and Kamala Harris all have in common? They are all, of course, highly successful Americans of Indian descent. According Meenakshi Ahamed, author of Indian Genius, one reason for what she calls the “meteoric rise” of Indians in America are their humble beginnings here. Arriving with minimal resources (what she calls the "$8 club"), Ahamed attributes their success to "jugaad" (resourcefulness), competitive spirit, family values, and an emphasis on education. She notes Indians are America's fastest-growing immigrant group, with traditionally Democratic voting patterns, though a 10% shift toward Republicans occurred in recent elections. So what are the chances that Trump will read Indian Genius to understand the upside of immigration to America? Less than zero, of course. 5 Key Takeaways * Successful Immigration Counter-Narrative: Ahamed's book presents a counter-narrative to anti-immigrant rhetoric, showcasing how Indian Americans have made significant contributions to American society, particularly in medicine, technology, and business.* The "$8 Club" Phenomenon: Many successful Indian immigrants came to America with extremely limited resources (just $8 due to India's currency restrictions) yet achieved remarkable success through determination, education, and hard work.* "Jugaad" Mindset: Ahamed attributes much of Indian immigrants' success to "jugaad" - a resourcefulness and ability to create something from nothing, developed in India's competitive environment where people must constantly find ways to get ahead.* Generational and Class Dynamics: Earlier Indian immigrants (1965-2010) typically came from upper castes with access to education, though this is changing. Additionally, Ahamed notes differences between first-generation immigrants like Vinod Khosla and later arrivals like Nadella and Pichai.* Shifting Political Allegiances: While Indian Americans traditionally voted 75% Democratic, Ahamed notes a recent 10% shift toward Republicans, particularly among younger Indian American men born in the US, reflecting broader demographic voting patterns.Meenakshi Ahamed was born in 1954 in Calcutta, India. After finishing school in India, she obtained an MA from Johns Hopkins University's School of Advanced International Studies in 1978. She has had a varied career as a journalist, and prior to that, as a development consultant. She has worked at the World Bank in Washington, DC, as well as for the Ashoka Society. In 1989, she moved to London and became the foreign correspondent for New Delhi Television (NDTV). After returning to the United States in 1996, she worked as a freelance journalist. Her op-eds and articles have been published in the Asian Age, Seminar, Foreign Policy, the Wall Street Journal, and the Washington Post. She has served on the board of Doctors Without Borders, the Turquoise Mountain Foundation, and Drugs for Neglected Diseases. She divides her time between the United States and India.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators. In addition to presenting the daily KEEN ON show, he is the host of the long-running How To Fix Democracy interview series. He is also the author of four prescient books about digital technology: CULT OF THE AMATEUR, DIGITAL VERTIGO, THE INTERNET IS NOT THE ANSWER and HOW TO FIX THE FUTURE.

God's gaze is not on this world, but on the Kingdom to come, our true home. When God looks deeply into our hearts, God sees all the talents and strengths that are uniquely yours. You can reach people that no one else can - and we may all have hidden gifts that we are not even aware of! Oh, but I am too young, you might be thinking. Isaiah probably said the same. Oh, I have so much in my past that I am not proud of. Peter had the same reservations. I am not worthy to be called a disciple of Christ. Certainly, Saul of Tarsus was only too aware of his rebellious past. Or, we may be thinking at this moment that my best days are behind me. What could God expect out of me? But God does not see us that way. God looks upon us with tender love and hopefulness.  I like to conclude with a story of a man named Harry Lipzig. He was a lawyer, but he did not practice law. He ran the shop. He worked the business end of the firm. But that changed when Harry took on a case when he was 88 years old. It was the case of a woman whose 71 year old husband was struck and killed by a drunken city employee driving his city vehicle. She was suing the city for the future earnings that she was deprived of due to her husbands death.  The city thought they had a solid case. What was a 71 year old going to earn, anyway? Their clever case was undermined however, when they realized that the woman had hired an 88 year old lawyer. She was awarded $1.25 million. The truth is, the world still needs prophets. We still need people to express what is noble and deepest within us. The world still needs people who do not merely catch fish, but catch people in the unconditional love of God. The voice of God can come to us at any age and asks us the same question asked to Isaiah: “Whom shall I send? Who will go for me?” Scripture prompts us to answer: “Here I am, Lord; send me.”   Blessings,Fr. Kevin MacDonald, C.Ss.R.

Storge is the love that allows you to do just that. If we neglect it, we risk losing what matters most—our families, our children's future, and our role in God's divine plan.This episode will challenge you to take action. No more passivity. No more excuses.

Calcutta in the late 18th century was a chaotic, fast-growing city, filled with fortune seekers, towering mansions, and an ever-present sense of impermanence. Inspired by the botanical and zoological paintings they encountered in Lucknow, Sir Elijah Impey, the first Chief Justice of Bengal, and his wife, Lady Mary Impey, brought this style to Calcutta, where they assembled an artistic salon and commissioned Indian artists to document the natural world in beautiful detail. Lady Impey, a passionate naturalist, became the unlikely patron of some of India's greatest animal painters, including Sheikh Zayn al-Din, Bhawani Das, and Ram Das. Working with delicate squirrel-hair brushes, these artists captured birds, mammals, and even bats with stunning precision. Their art, once viewed merely as scientific record-keeping, is now recognized as some of the finest examples of Indian painting from the colonial period. Listen as William and Anita trace the journey of this artistic tradition from Lucknow to Calcutta and beyond, exploring how European patrons influenced Indian artists - and how, in turn, Indian artistry left an indelible mark on Western botanical and zoological illustration.  Twitter: @Empirepoduk Email: empirepoduk@gmail.com Goalhangerpodcasts.com Assistant Producer: Becki Hills Producer: Anouska Lewis Senior Producer: Callum Hill Exec Producer: Neil Fearn Learn more about your ad choices.

From April 10, 2023: On March 23, 2023, an Indian court found Prime Minister Narendra Modi's principal opposition leader, Rahul Gandhi, guilty of defaming the Prime Minister and the Modi surname. He was sentenced to two years in prison and expelled from Parliament in what journalists and pro-democracy groups view as yet another inflection point of democratic decline under Modi's leadership. To understand the challenges facing Indian society and the current deterioration of India's democracy, Lawfare Legal Fellow Saraphin Dhanani sat down with Debasish Roy Chowdhury, an Indian journalist based in Hong Kong and Calcutta, who has written extensively on Indian politics, society, and geopolitics. He co-authored a book titled “To Kill a Democracy: India's Passage to Despotism,” which paints a chilling history and reality of the state of Indian democracy. They discussed the Rahul Gandhi case, the spillover of Hindu nationalism into mainstream politics under Modi's leadership, and the future of India's democracy.
