Hecate started as the ruling goddess of the Asian region of Caria, and got taken over by the Greeks as the only one able to operate in every realm of the cosmos. This then gave her special responsibility for travellers, doorways and restless ghosts. That slowly darkened her image, so that she became associated with the night, the moon, and magicians. By the Roman period, she was the goddess of sorcery par excellence, invoked for all sorts of enchantments, good or bad. In the late ancient worlds this also turned her into a saviour figure, enabling humans directly to contact the divine. This lecture traces that colourful journey.This lecture was recorded by Robin May on the 26th of November 2025 at Bernard's Inn Hall, LondonProfessor Hutton is Professor of History at the University of Bristol. He took degrees at Cambridge and then Oxford Universities, and was a fellow of Magdalen College, Oxford. He is now a Fellow of the British Academy, the Royal Historical Society, the Society of Antiquaries and the Learned Society of Wales, and has won awards for teaching and research.He has lectured all over the world, authored twenty books and ninety-six essays, appeared in or presented scores of television and radio programmes, and sits on the editorial boards of six journals concerned with the history of religion and magic.He is currently working on the third volume of his biography of Oliver Cromwell. The transcript of the lecture is available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/goddess-hecateGresham College has offered free public lectures for over 400 years, thanks to the generosity of our supporters.

The challenge with any cross-cultural dialogue resides in the reality that what we say generally has roots deep in our cultural context. It is a context in which we move seamlessly, unknowingly, not realizing the context is unknown to others, meaning any attempted dialogue is obscured by clouds blotting out foundational understandings. A couple examples should help clarify. It is common in Vietnam to point using the middle finger, an action frequently viewed as vulgar in the USA because it is seen as flipping a person off, a flagrant insult.

In this episode of the Shakespeare and Company Podcast, Adam Biles speaks with poet, translator and critic Ian Patterson about Books: A Manifesto, his passionate defence of reading in all its forms. What begins with the construction of a personal library in a converted coach house opens into a wide-ranging meditation on memory, loss, vulnerability and the profound role books play in shaping a life. Patterson discusses the anguish of parting with thousands of volumes, the intimacy of marked-up, well-lived-in books, and the politics of reading slowly in a culture addicted to speed. The conversation moves through genre snobbery, guilty pleasures, poetry's complex rewards, the porous borders of contemporary literature, and Patterson's experience translating the final volume of Proust—an immersion so deep it altered his own prose. It's a warm, generous exploration of why books matter, how they remake us, and why defending them feels more urgent than ever.Buy Books: A Manifesto: https://www.shakespeareandcompany.com/books/books-a-manifesto*Ian Patterson is a widely published poet and translator, and a former academic. The translator of Finding Time Again, the final volume of the Penguin Proust, he is also the author of Guernica and Total War and Nemo's Almanac. He won the Forward Prize for Best Poem in 2017, with an elegy for his late wife, Jenny Diski. He worked in Further Education between 1970 and 1984, had a second-hand bookselling business for ten years after that, and from 1995 until 2018 was an academic, teaching English Literature at the University of Cambridge. Many of his students have gone on to shape the world of publishing and writing, both in the UK and the US.Adam Biles is Literary Director at Shakespeare and Company.Listen to Alex Freiman's latest EP, In The Beginning: https://open.spotify.com/album/5iZYPMCUnG7xiCtsFCBlVa?si=h5x3FK1URq6SwH9Kb_SO3w Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, Julia speaks with Anna Kalmer, a social entrepreneur who founded a yoga-based organisation supporting refugees, children in state care, mothers raising children with disabilities, and others facing adversity.Anna shares how stepping into leading wasn't a grand decision it happened when the organisation she created began to truly form, and people started looking to her for direction. Suddenly, she realised she wasn't becoming the leader. She already was one, long before she felt ready for the title.She talks about seeking coaching in the early years because she couldn't even say out loud, “I am a social entrepreneur.” She thought she needed to adopt a louder, more traditionally “masculine” style of leading to be taken seriously. But as she describes beautifully, that didn't fit. The journey wasn't about changing herself rather it was about authorising herself. And about discovering an approach to leading that is both caring and fierce, collaborative and boundaried.This episode is a reminder that great leading doesn't come from reshaping yourself into someone else's mould. It comes from being anchored in who you are and being brave enough to stand firm in it.About the Guest:Anna Kalmár is a social entrepreneur and mental health professional, the founder of the Budapest based mental health initiative, AdniJóga.She holds a Master's degree in Social Innovation from the University of Cambridge and currently serves on the board of the Hungarian Coalition of Social Enterprises.She has been recognized as a Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree in Hungary and named one of the Top 100 European Women in Social Enterprise in 2023. She is passionate about understanding how systemic change happens and how we can shape more just and equitable societies.

Passage: Psalm 118

1 Tesalonicenses 4:6“Que ninguno agravie ni engañe en nada a su hermano, porque, como ya os hemos dicho y testificado, el Señor es vengador de todo esto”.La mayoría de radioescuchas han escuchado del pequeño “pez limpiador” o budión que limpian los dientes de los peces más grandes. Nuevas investigaciones sobre el comportamiento de estos peces muestran que no siempre son peces honestos. Otros peces, incluyendo aquellos que por lo general podrían considerar una comida de “peces más limpios”, en realidad se paran en fila para sus servicios. Esto es debido a que necesitan que se les quiten parásitos tejidos enfermos. También saben que el “pez limpiador” ofrece masajes.Es sorprendente que inclusive los predadores más viables se convertirán en clientes por una buena limpieza y masaje. Los investigadores de la Universidad de Cambridge en Inglaterra observaron 28 estaciones de limpieza, y descubrieron algunos comportamientos inesperados. De cuando en cuando, mientras un “pez limpiador”, saca parásitos de sus clientes, también puede sacar un pedazo de carne saludable. Sabiamente, ellos evitan este comportamiento cuando limpian a predadores que les podrían morder de regreso. Los investigadores también observaron que los clientes potenciales si estaban concientes de este riesgo y miraban de cerca como el cliente actual estaban siendo tratado. Tenían más probabilidad de buscar servicios de un budión que no mordía a ninguno de sus clientes antes de él. Por supuesto, los budiones también estaban al tanto de esto y eran observados para ofrecer a esos clientes que podrían morder un tratamiento cuatro estrellas, incluyendo un masaje.Las Escrituras enseñan que el pecado del hombre infectó toda la creación. Afortunadamente, Cristo vino a traernos perdón.Oración: Padre, Te agradezco por Tus leyes, pero como un pecador, Te agradezco aún más por el perdón en Cristo Jesús. Amén.Ref: Science News, S.

Lessiter Media president and CEO Mike Lessiter caught up recently with Cambridge, Ill., no-tiller and Ag Solutions Network co-founder Monte Bottens, who shares why the USDA's announced $700 million commitment to regenerative ag is a big deal for the no-till and soil health movement. Bottens also explains why he's excited for the upcoming National No-Tillage Conference and the new "Ted-style” talks he's participating in, as well as cutting-edge technology for killing weeds and planting non-GMO seeds.

In this episode, we talk to Beryl Pong, UKRI Future Leaders Fellow at the University of Cambridge, where she leads the Centre for Drones and Culture. Beryl reflects on what it means to think about drones as “good” or “ethical” technologies and how it can be assessed through its socio-political context. Beryl examines the dual nature of drones, looking at both their humanitarian uses and the ethical implications of their deployment in civilian life. The discussion also touches on the aesthetics of drones and their representation in popular culture, concluding with a reflection on drone light shows as a new form of cultural expression.

John Anderson speaks with James Orr to examine the deeper moral, cultural, and institutional pressures shaping Britain and the wider Western world. Drawing on political philosophy, social analysis, and recent events, Orr challenges the prevailing assumption that economic management and procedural politics can sustain a stable society. He argues that questions of identity, belonging, and shared obligation now sit at the centre of national renewal. This conversation traces the erosion of social trust, the limits of rights-based politics, and the consequences of demographic and cultural fragmentation. It is a measured discussion that reorients political debate toward the moral and cultural foundations required for long-term national stability, rather than short-term policy adjustments. Dr. Orr holds a PhD and MPhil in Philosophy of Religion from the University of Cambridge and a BA in Classics from Oxford. He is a political philosopher, writer, and commentator whose work focuses on conservatism, political theology, identity, and the cultural preconditions of liberal democracy, with particular attention to Britain's institutional and civilisational inheritance.

EPISODE 651 - Mark J Wilson - Full of Beans - A dead professor. A missing student, And a time-traveling detective.Mark is a scientist who works in gene therapy and very foolishly decided he had to write a novel about a time-traveling detective in his spare time.I live in Washington, DC with my wife, Carrie, but I was born and brought up in Reading, England. My favourite place in the world is in the Cotswolds, just down the road from Oxford (where most of Full of Beans is set).I went to college in Canterbury where I studied biochemistry and got a PhD. I have worked in biopharmaceuticals for the last 35 years or so.I'm currently working in gene therapy, helping to develop a much-needed cure for Rett Syndrome.I worked in Nottingham and Cambridge before moving back to Reading (so it can't be all bad, right?). Then I came to America in 2009. It does seem like a drastic move just to get out of Reading again. I lived in North Carolina for 7 years before moving to the DC area.Growing up in Reading gave me a fascination with trains and planes, being as how there wasn't much else there to interest a kid. I loved hanging around at the west end of Platform 5, and when Concorde would fly over. And there was a Model Shop. I loved the Model Shop. And Eames' model train shop.My dad gave me lifelong passions for astronomy, physics, chess, cooking, and model-making. And I love model trains. Over the years, in my spare time, I've also been a watercolor artist and a music producer. I love electronic dance music.Full of Beans is my first published novel and it is dedicated to Carrie and her coffee machine, which would constantly instruct us to “Fill Beans,” whether the hopper was full or empty. Without either of them this book might never have been written. It took over two years to write, on the weekends and holidays, and I learned a lot about writing.I heard they are bringing back Clippy... ‘I see you're writing a novel. Do you need help with that?' I did need help, but instead I have relied on some actually talented hooman-beans for that.The book was an editor's nightmare to work on. We chose British English spellings (like ‘colour') and phrases (such as ‘bugger off') to go with most of the settings and characters. However, we also chose to go with the Chicago Manual of Style for other stuff like punctuation, rather than the Oxford Guide to Style. Sorry Oxford. Please check the CMOS before levelling criticism at the editing; it was a heroic effort. Thanks Kevin and Avery.Feel free, however, to debate the choice to liberally use the Oxford comma. And to jolly-well split some infinitives. And start sentences with conjunctions.If strict British grammar is your passion, rather than a fun read, then hard cheese. It isn't meant to be bloody Shakespeare. I'm sure there'll be a new Booker Prize nominee along any minute now.The artwork was accomplished with help from artlist.io, using its Comic Noir algorithm and many, many attempts, amalgamations, and many hours of editing images to get what I wanted. The book cover was a team effort with Joe and Michelle. https://markjwilson.com/Support the show___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks!https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca

To celebrate Melvyn Bragg's 27 years presenting In Our Time, five well-known fans of the programme have chosen their favourite episodes. Guy Garvey, lyricist and lead singer of the band Elbow, has selected the episode on eclipses, first broadcast in December 2020. Solar eclipses are some of life's most extraordinary moments, when day becomes night and the stars come out before day returns either all too soon or not soon enough, depending on what you understand to be happening. In ancient China, for example, there was a story that a dragon was eating the sun and it had to be scared away by banging pots and pans if the sun were to return. Total lunar eclipses are more frequent and last longer, with a blood moon coloured red like a sunrise or sunset. Both events have created the chance for scientists to learn something remarkable, from the speed of light, to the width of the Atlantic, to the roundness of the Earth, to discovering helium and proving Einstein's Theory of General Relativity. With Carolin Crawford Public Astronomer based at the Institute of Astronomy, University of Cambridge and a fellow of Emmanuel College Frank Close Emeritus Professor of Physics at the University of Oxford And Lucie Green Professor of Physics and a Royal Society University Research Fellow at Mullard Space Science Laboratory at University College London Producers: Simon Tillotson and Julia Johnson Spanning history, religion, culture, science and philosophy, In Our Time from BBC Radio 4 is essential listening for the intellectually curious.
