Podcasts about Carrara

It's been quite a while since we've sat down for an episode of the Roar Deal in full doom & gloom mode, but Saturday's crisis in Carrara has us not too far from that ballpark. It was our heaviest defeat since the 2022 Prelim Final loss to a red-hot Geelong side, and also our heaviest home & away defeat we've had since 2018. It's also put Dom in a real mood this week on the podcast, with Mike doing his best to lift Dom out of the slump ahead of a season-shaping game against Collingwood this Saturday. Also this week:-Why Dom feels so much resentment to Damien Hardwick-Is Murray Davis a senior coach in waiting?-The worst footy-related birthday celebration of all timeAnd much more!

fWotD Episode 3007: Gaetano Bresci Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Tuesday, 29 July 2025, is Gaetano Bresci.Gaetano Bresci (Italian: [ɡaeˈtaːno ˈbreʃʃi]; 11 November 1869 – 22 May 1901) was an Italian anarchist who assassinated King Umberto I of Italy. As a young weaver, his experiences with exploitation in the workplace drew him to anarchism. Bresci emigrated to the United States, where he became involved with other Italian immigrant anarchists in Paterson, New Jersey. News of the Bava Beccaris massacre motivated him to return to Italy, where he planned to assassinate Umberto. Local police knew of his return but did not mobilize. Bresci killed the king in July 1900 during Umberto's scheduled appearance in Monza amid a sparse police presence.The government of Italy suspected that Bresci had been a part of a conspiracy but no evidence was found to indicate that others were involved. He was consequently sentenced to life imprisonment for murder and confined on Santo Stefano Island in Latina, Lazio, where he was found dead of an apparent suicide within the year. After his death, Bresci gained the status of a martyr within the Italian anarchist movement, who defended his regicidal act. Bresci inspired some anarchists to carry out their own acts of propaganda by deed, most prominently Leon Czolgosz's assassination of United States president William McKinley. Italian anarchists erected a monument to Bresci in Carrara despite governmental attempts to block it.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:21 UTC on Tuesday, 29 July 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Gaetano Bresci on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Gregory.

Proverbios 27: 17, NTV¿Alguna vez te has preguntado por qué dos amigas que eran inseparables ahora ya no se soportan? ¿Por qué esas parejas que parecen sacadas de un cuento de hadas terminan y ya no se cruzan palabra? ¿Y cómo, por el contrario, dos personas que inicialmente no se soportan terminan juntas por toda la vida? La respuesta parece estar en la mirada. De forma más concreta, en lo que se conoce como «el efecto Miguel Ángel».Los psicólogos señalan que el «efecto Miguel Ángel» tiene lugar cuando un cónyuge ve en el otro un «mundo de posibilidades», un enorme potencial. Cuando este se da cuenta de que los ojos del ser amado lo ven en esa luz tan favorable, procura elevarse a la altura de esas expectativas, confirmando así lo que su cónyuge ya creía. «Es así como cada miembro de la pareja actúa como refuerzo y apoyo para que el otro pueda conseguir alcanzar sus metas y convertirse en su mejor versión».¿Y por qué se le denomina al presente fenómeno como el «efecto Miguel Ángel»? Esto se debe a la manera en que el destacado artista del Renacimiento italiano concebía sus esculturas. Se cuenta que mucho antes de esculpir sus obras, Miguel Ángel pasaba días o incluso semanas contemplando el bloque de mármol, intentando visualizar la figura que ya se encontraba latente dentro de él. Luego, simplemente se dedicaba a liberarla. Cuando el renombrado escultor divisó un enorme bloque de mármol de Carrara que había sido abandonado, pasó meses frecuentando el lugar, observando el macizo bloque y tratando de desentrañar el potencial que este ocultaba. Cuatro años más tarde, emergió el David, la más célebre de sus creaciones escultóricas.Miguel Ángel no observaba el bloque por lo que era en ese instante, sino por su potencial. ¿No consideras que nosotros deberíamos adoptar esa mirada? En lugar de ver a los demás únicamente por su estado actual, podríamos contemplarlos como Dios los ve, bajo la luz del potencial que poseen, para convertirse en algo más. Este ejercicio podría ayudarnos a crecer como individuos y potenciar nuestra influencia para «afilar» positivamente a las personas que nos rodean.

Em tempo de Feira do Livro de Lisboa, o Ensaio Geral conversou com três autores sobre os seus novos livros. Os convidados do programa desta semana são: Nuno Duarte, último Prémio Leya com o livro "Pés de Barro"; Mariana Salomão Carrara, autora brasileira de "A Árvore Mais Sozinha do Mundo”; e Sérgio Tréfaut, realizador e curador da exposição/livro “Venham Mais Cinco”, cujo catálogo é agora lançado na Feira do Livro.

For decades, prolific Cuban spies working in the U.S. government, serving in high profile positions with top security clearances, have evaded American intelligence officials. Correspondent Cecilia Vega reports from Washington, D.C. and Miami on the stories of two such undercover agents, former U.S. Ambassador Victor Manuel Rocha and onetime Pentagon official Ana Montes. Cuba continues to supply one of the most dangerous exports to American adversaries around the world: American secrets. For centuries, the giants of the art world, like Michelangelo, have made a beeline for the world-famous Carrara marble quarries of Northern Tuscany, turning the white stone into masterpieces. Now, a fleet of robots has moved in, carving with pinpoint precision and sparking an art world fracas. Correspondent Bill Whitaker travels to Carrara and jumps into the fray: can a robot make art? While many contemporary A-listers are turning to robots for help, many of Italy's hammer-and-chisel brigade are up in arms. They claim Italy's artistic heritage is on the line. Many teenagers want to become pop stars, but few convince their parents to let them pack their bags and move to another country to make it big. That's precisely what Dua Lipa did when she was 15 years old, trading Pristina, Kosovo, for London. Correspondent Anderson Cooper talks with her about her journey from unknown songwriter to international sensation.

Giorgio Van StratenSeminare Idee FestivalPrato, dal 6 all'8 giugno 2025Uno spazio dove si incrociano pensieri diversi, trasversali a tutte le discipline, per far nascere una comunità di persone unite dal rito della condivisione, della cultura e delle esperienze, facendo leva sulle più importanti fonti della conoscenza: curiosità, meraviglia e partecipazione.Tre giornate di letture, conferenze, dialoghi e incontri. Grandi nomi della cultura, della scienza e dello spettacolo si ritroveranno a Prato dal 6 all'8 giugno. Il tema della prima edizione è: coraggio.sabato 7 Giugno 2025, ore 10:15Giorgio Van Straten e Walter VeltroniCapitane coraggioseLa Resistenza è stato un momento cruciale in cui gli italiani hanno dovuto decidere da che parte stare. È un periodo su cui vale la pena riflettere, soprattutto a ottant'anni dalla Liberazione. Giorgio van Straten e Walter Veltroni hanno scritto due libri dedicati a due donne che, in quegli anni, hanno preso decisioni coraggiose. Queste donne, seguendo percorsi personali, hanno unito sentimenti e consapevolezza politica, facendo coincidere pubblico e privato, alimentando l'uno con l'altro e accettando i rischi e le conseguenze. Il libro di Giorgio van Straten, “La ribelle. Vita straordinaria di Nada Parri” (Laterza), racconta la storia di Nada Parri, una giovane donna toscana che lascia tutto per unirsi ai partigiani insieme a un disertore tedesco, Hermann Wilkens, di cui si innamora. I sentimenti per Hermann la conducono verso una consapevolezza politica, fino a diventare comunista e, nel dopoguerra, il primo sindaco donna dell'empolese-valdelsa. Walter Veltroni, invece, narra le vicende di Iris Versari nel libro “Iris, la libertà” (Rizzoli). Anche Iris è una partigiana, insieme al compagno di lotta e di vita Silvio Corbari. Morì a poco più di vent'anni nell'agosto del 1944 ed è stata insignita della medaglia d'oro al valor militare alla memoria. Due giovani donne, come molti combattenti della lotta di liberazione, coraggiose e pronte a pagare il prezzo delle loro scelte.Giorgio van Straten (Firenze, 1955) è uno scrittore e dirigente di istituzioni culturali. Dal febbraio 2009 al luglio 2012 è stato membro del Consiglio di Amministrazione della RAI. Dal 2015 al 2019 è stato direttore dell'Istituto Italiano di Cultura di New York. Da gennaio a marzo 2020 è stato writer in residence presso il dipartimento di italiano della New York University dove ha tenuto un corso sul rapporto fra storia e letteratura. Dal 2020 è stato nominato Presidente della Fondazione Alinari per la Fotografia. Tra le sue ultime opere: Una disperata vitalità (HarperCollins Italia, 2022), Invasione di campo. Quando la letteratura racconta la storia (Laterza, 2023) e La ribelle. Vita straordinaria di Nada Parri (Laterza, 2025).Giorgio Van Straten"La ribelle"Vita straordinaria di Nadia Parri.Editori Laterzawww.laterza.itUna grande storia d'amore, vera e tragica come le grandi storie d'amore. La guerra, la Resistenza, la ricostruzione: la storia che travolge le nostre esistenze e le indirizza come un destino.La vita di Nada, donna ribelle e coraggiosa, ci porta a riflettere sulla speranza che ogni generazione, contro ogni apparente ragionevolezza, continua a riporre nel futuro.Nada ha vent'anni, una bambina di due ed è sola. Il marito è partito volontario per la guerra in Africa. La sua famiglia è lontana e nella nuova città dove abita non conosce quasi nessuno. Hermann di anni ne ha quasi quaranta, una famiglia in Germania, è sottufficiale della Wehrmacht e odia Hitler. Si incontrano per caso in un pomeriggio d'inverno a Marina di Carrara e si innamorano. Insieme decidono di fuggire, lei da una famiglia sbagliata, lui da un esercito che da alleato è diventato occupante e invasore. Scappano sui monti e si uniscono ai partigiani. Rischieranno la vita, parteciperanno alla liberazione di Parma, convinti che il futuro sia dalla loro parte. Non sarà così.Giorgio van Straten ci porta sapientemente sulle tracce di Nada e di Hermann, inseguendo persone, documenti, oggetti, fotografie: riaffiora così una storia incredibile e ricca di colpi di scena. Una ricerca che ci fa ‘inciampare' in domande e interrogativi che riguardano tutti: l'amore è una forza capace di travolgerci, anche di farci rischiare la vita stessa? I grandi sogni della giovinezza indirizzano tutta la nostra esistenza o sono destinati a diventare fonte inesauribile di nostalgia e frustrazione? Le cicatrici di esperienze così travolgenti possono essere nascoste e dimenticate?IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

courtesy of Ruiz-Healy Art, New York / San Antonio Nicolás Leiva is renowned for his exuberant sculptures and paintings that capture various expressive personal visions. Vessels, boats, abstract forms, flying carriages are transformed into ceramics in an explosion of lush primary colors embossed with metals like silver and gold. Animals and vegetables commingle in a garden of flowers amidst otherworldly places of shelter, are replicated as box-like reliquaries, and plate-like medallions in miniature close-up show territories transitioned from his works on paper. His imaginative world unfolds in infinite realms like a Möbius strip. Highly gestural, organic, or geometric, Leiva presents a host of archetypes in his emblems of flight, safety, and delight. Born in 1958 in Tucumán, Argentina, Leiva graduated from the Fine Arts School of the Universidad Nacional de Tucumán. He continued his studies in Buenos Aires and moved to Miami in 1990. In 1996, he extended his practice to sculpture and ceramics. He lives part-time in Faenza, Italy, where he works with a variety of materials at the workshops of Ceramica Gatti. His work is the subject of the 2005 monograph Nicolas Leiva: The Fire of Self and Multiplication with scholarly text by Ricardo Pau-Llosa and Mariza Vescovo published by Bandecchi & Vivaldi in Italy. He has had many important solo and group exhibitions in the US and internationally, notably his 2023 solo exhibition, Historia de un día, Museo de Bellas Artes Laureano Brizuela, Catamarca, Argentina. Leiva was recently selected for the 2023 Miami Individual Artist (MIA) Grant, Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs in Miami, FL. His works are in the permanent collections of the Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires (MALBA); The Snite Museum of Art at the University of Notre Dame, Indiana; the Berardo Collection in Lisbon, Portugal; the Gollinelli Collection in Bologna, Italy; and the Museum of Art of Fort Lauderdale in Florida.

Uno siciliano, che fa capo alla storica famiglia dei Rizzuto; l'altro calabrese, che cova malavita a Woodbridge, a nord di Toronto, la nuova Little Italy con villette piene di marmo di Carrara e santi da giardino.

See pictures and read more on materiallyspeaking.comDutch artist Anne-Claire trained and worked as a lawyer until she followed her heart to become an artist. She moved to Pietrasanta, where she lived, and worked, for 15 years. Now she divides her time between the Hague and Pietrasanta.After the pandemic she was looking for a way to capture peoples' thoughts and emotions in order to make a three-dimensional sculpture of them in clay. Having discovered that a traditional scanner was unable to grab the emotion she saw in a split second, Anne-Claire was happy to meet Claudio Giustiniani of ArtaxLab in Pietrasanta, who showed her how he used 30 Nikon cameras in conjunction with a 3-D printer. Working with Claudio she could get what she wanted and began her project to capture the emotions around the experience of COVID-19 called My Collection of Souls.To create her My Collection of Souls Anne-Claire talked to the person about COVID-19 and, at the exact moment she saw their strongest expression, she pressed the button on the cameras. Claudio and she discuss in this episode how they created the work - from taking the photograph through to the finished collection.Another collaboration Anne-Claire made was with photographer Gail Skoff.Gail came to this part of Italy in 2017 to photograph the quarries of Carrara but soon became fascinated by the artists working in marble. When she met Anne-Claire they instantly clicked, and embarked on a collaboration with Gail's photographic collage technique. Gail likes to enter the world of the artist and elaborate on their process, creating more of an impression of the artist's work rather than its ultimate reality.Anne-Claire tells us how it was working with Gail and how happy she was to have Icarus flying.From her childhood, Anne-Claire was inspired by how Michelangelo expressed such soft emotions in hard marble. Below is a piece in tribute to him. Anne-Claire thought David's victory over Goliath was an excellent metaphor for our battle and the optimism needed to succeed during COVID-19.anneclaire.nlinstagram.com/anneclairevandenelshoutArtAxlab aims to build a bridge between the artisan world and digital technologiesartaxlab.cominstagram.com/artaxlab

See pictures and read more on materiallyspeaking.comA sculptor and painter born in Damascus, Usama tells of the impact of being brought up in Syria and of continuously dealing with people from different religions with diverse ways of looking at things. Usama's studio space, and home, is tucked away in the shadow of the statuario marble quarries. Usama bought the space in this historic marble area because he felt an urgency to build a stone amphitheatre there. Initially he dismissed the land because he feared flooding. But he worked non-stop his first winter to build his theatre. He tells us about his childhood and how it informed the person he's become. His uncles are both sculptors and their books on marble, in his grandmother's library, inspired him from a young age. First he studied art in Damascus, where he carved in wood, and then he came to Carrara to study sculpting in marble. Usama talks about his relationship with nature and his love of plants. He grew up in Syria with a family garden of fruit and vegetables, and always loved working in nature. He has planted many trees and plants in his Carrara home.Many of Usama's pieces are inspired by immigration There's a wall of marble blocks sculpted with luggage handles, straps and zips. He tells how immigrants who used to carry lots of luggage now find their luggage has become much smaller, sometimes even just a mobile phone.Usama created a series of sculptures of women depicting the life of women in the Middle East and their freedom to travel around. His sculptures explore how women have sometimes been transformed by religion into more of an icon than a person, and how this can also become a prison. However, they often find virtual freedom through the internet.This piece is a woman on one side and on the other side a horse, her hair represents an extension of her thoughts.Usama loves teaching and sharing his skills whilst allowing his students to develop their own personalities in their work.alnassar.itinstagram.com/alnassarsculpture

See pictures and read more on materiallyspeaking.comSandy first came to Italy to be with her partner, the sculptor John Fisher, and enjoyed the influences of the Italian Renaissance, and the detailed work of the Baroque.From observing the sculptors she learned about shadow and light, negative shape and profile lines. However, she was offered a three month artist residency in a paper making village in Japan where she discovered an economy of stroke and a muted palette which inspired her to develop her work with paper.Gail and I met Sandy at Pescarella studios, in Vallechia, on the road from Pietrasanta towards Carrara. As we entered the large studio space, Sandy was calmly taping collages onto the wall, for a pop-up exhibition she was staging.Her beautiful collages feature fruits, wine bottles and inviting cups of cappuccino - with froth you can almost taste. There's a three dimensional effect on wooden spoons that she has created with papers of different shades.On another work a tower of coffee cups leans so precariously I want to reach out and save them.Beside Sandy there's a table heaped with fine, plain and patterned, papers carefully arranged by colour. She shows us some samples of the paper and talks about how they are made and tells us about her techniques.Sandy speaks about an ongoing series of womens' portraits called Women in the World. In this project she aims to honour and recognise struggles and successes of notable women who have made a special contribution to the world.

It's the state's bellwether county, which voted for nearly every president in the last century including President Biden in 2020 and President Trump last week. Why did Northampton flip this election cycle? Pelley speaks with longtime residents to find out.CBS News senior foreign correspondent Holly Williams turns the lens on a fellow war reporter on the frontline of the Russia-Ukraine war. She travels to Kharkiv to meet the fearless Andriy Tsaplienko, a Ukrainian journalist who is using his reporting to fight for his country's survival. As Williams discovers, Tsaplienko's relentless search for the facts serves as a powerful weapon to counter disinformation and propaganda. His battle to reveal the truth underscores the critical role journalists play in actively shaping the outcome of global crises where information is a battlefield.For centuries, the giants of the art world, like Michelangelo, have made a beeline for the world-famous Carrara marble quarries of Northern Tuscany, turning the white stone into marble masterpieces. Now, a fleet of robots has moved in, carving with pinpoint precision and sparking an art world fracas. Correspondent Bill Whitaker travels to Carrara and jumps into the fray: can a robot make art? While many contemporary A-listers are turning to robots for help, many of Italy's hammer-and-chisel brigade are up in arms. They claim Italy's artistic heritage is on the line.Correspondent Cecilia Vega reports from Spain on the unsolved shooting of a Russian defector in the seaside town of Villajoyosa.

A mineira Carla Madeira é a escritora mais vendida no Brasil. Ainda assim, ela conta que não sente a pressão do pódio ao escrever, nem tem o leitor na cabeça quando põe no papel uma nova história. Seu quarto livro, ainda sem nome, está em processo de escrita desde que Madeira viveu uma combinação de muitos lutos: da mãe, do psicanalista, de uma amiga-irmã. Ao visitá-la em fase terminal de um câncer no pâncreas, disse ter sentido um ímpeto de começar uma nova história. “É muito nítido esse lugar da literatura para lidar com o real”, ela afirma ao Podcast da Semana sobre literatura, da qual é a convidada. “A ficção vaza. Imaginar é sempre revelar um pouco de si mesmo, não tem jeito. Vai uma dose enorme de inconsciente.” Madeira é autora de "Tudo É Rio" (Record, 2021), seu primeiro romance e um best-seller. Ele conta uma história de amor que se desfaz num ato brutal de violência e dá espaço para um triângulo amoroso com muito sexo. Depois dele, a escritora e publicitária lançou outros dois títulos, “Véspera” (2021) e "A Natureza da Mordida" (Record, 2022), todos publicados pela editora Record. Agora, ela se prepara para encerrar a Festa Literária Internacional de Paraty de 2024, em uma mesa sobre a invenção e a linguagem do romance, ao lado de Mariana Salomão Carrara e de Silvana Tavano. Ao Podcast da Semana, Madeira afirma que é uma escritora muito focada em acontecimentos e não gosta de usar seus personagens para assumir suas inquietações. “Não dá para entrar numa lógica dos personagens começarem a ocupar um lugar de recado porque você pode entrar num caminho meio moralista, ou meio “sabidão”, na vibe quase que do conselho, da moral”, afirma. Na conversa, Madeira fala sobre seu processo criativo, sobre a importância do ritmo no texto, de suas ideias para o futuro do romance e dá ainda três dicas dos livros de que mais gostou em 2024. Roteiro e apresentação: Isabelle Moreira Lima

Arthur Marchetto e Cecília Garcia Marcon (com uma presença espectral de Vilto Reis) conversam sobre o Prêmio São Paulo de Literatura e apresentam um de seus ganhadores recentes: "Não fossem as sílabas do sábado" (Ed.

O livro conta a história de duas mulheres e uma menina afetadas pela morte de dois maridos: uma situação que envolve a queda de um homem do décimo andar em cima de outro, que passava na rua. No episódio, eles discutem questões sobre luto, memória, relacionamentos e amores. E você, o que acha: merece o prêmio? - Links ⁠⁠⁠⁠Apoie o 30:MIN⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Siga a gente nas redes⁠⁠ ⁠Já apoia?

Tonight, my special guest is author Rebecca Pittman who's here to discuss her book about the reported hauntings at The Myrtles Plantation.  Get the book for your collection.   Welcome back to the haunted hallways of the Myrtles Plantation, in St. Francisville, Louisiana. Named The Most-Haunted Home in America, this 220-year-old antebellum plantation plays host to guests from around the world...and "other worlds." Her moss-laden trees have witnessed it all--from murders to voodoo, pirates to poison, slavery and the Civil War.With new photos, history, and today's ghost stories, this 2nd Edition issue will invite you to peek through her upside-down keyholes and discover the secrets of the Myrtles Plantation.   More on the Myrtles Plantation: Sited on a hill, the eastward-facing frame house, which features a clapboard exterior, is built in the Creole cottage style that characterized many Louisiana plantation houses in the 19th century. The original house was built in 1796 and featured six bays and three dormers on the roof. In the mid-1850s, the one-and-a-half-story house was extended south, almost doubling its size, and increased to nine bays including a new double door entrance. The entry doors are surrounded with a transom and sidelights, showcasing original hand-painted stained glass, etched and patterned after the French cross to allegedly ward off evil. The main feature of the Myrtles is the 125-foot-long veranda that extends the entire length of the façade, and wraps around the southern end of the house. The ornamental cast-iron railing, with an elaborate grape-cluster design, supports a broad Doric entablature, and on the gabled roof, with six brick chimneys, are two large double-paned, pedimented dormers with Doric style pilasters, interspersed with three single-paned dormers. When the original roof of the house was extended to encompass the new addition, the existing dormers were copied to maintain a smooth line. The west facing rear façade features a central, open loggia that is enclosed on three sides by the house, and on the roof are five pedimented dormers identical to the front. The Myrtles has 22 rooms spread over two floors. The spacious entry hall runs the length of the house and features faux-bois, open pierced friezework molding, a French Baccarat crystal chandelier weighing more than 300 pounds and a cantilevered staircase. The flooring and most of the windows in the house are original. To the left of the hall is the music room that is adjacent to the only bedroom found on the first floor. The principal rooms of the house are found to the right of the hall. The walls of the original house were removed and repositioned to create four large rooms that were used as identical ladies and gentlemen's parlors, a formal dining room and a game room. The two parlors feature Carrara marble mantles in the Rococo Revival-style on the north and south walls, and are crowned with elaborate plaster cornices and ceiling medallions, made from a mixture of clay, Spanish moss and cattle hair, with no two being the same. The second floor features five bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. The largest bedroom, known as the Judge Clarke Woodruff Suite, is the only room that is accessed by the main staircase in the entry hall. The remaining four bedrooms, that are separated by a common sitting room, are accessed by a staircase that ascends from the rear loggia. The floor of these bedrooms were raised one foot when the house was renovated, as the addition had higher ceilings than the original house.Follow Our Other ShowsFollow UFO WitnessesFollow Crime Watch WeeklyFollow Paranormal FearsFollow Seven: Disturbing Chronicle StoriesJoin our Patreon for ad-free listening and more bonus content.Follow us on Instagram @mysteriousradioFollow us on TikTok mysteriousradioTikTok Follow us on Twitter @mysteriousradio Follow us on Pinterest pinterest.com/mysteriousradio Like us on Facebook Facebook.com/mysteriousradio

Every game is a chance for a designer to pull another trick out of their sleeve. But for a lot of designers, that new trick can often feel like the same trick with a new coat of paint. Not to say that's a bad thing, it's one of the things that keep us coming back for more! But what are some of these tricks? How do designers keep them fresh? Why do we like them so? This week Evan, Steve, Robert and special guest Aaron discuss just that! Want to ask a question or give us your two cents about the state of euros? Hit us up at cardboardphilosophypod@gmail.com!

Florence, 1584. Rumours are spreading about the virility of a prince marrying into the powerful Medici family. Orphan Giulia is chosen to put an end to the gossip. In return she will gain her freedom, and start a new life with a dowry and her own husband. Cloistered since childhood and an innocent in a world ruled by men, Giulia reluctantly agrees, only to be drawn under the control of the Medicis' lecherous minister. Years later, married and with a growing family, Giulia hopes she has finally escaped the legacy of her past. But when a threat arrives from a sinister figure from her youth, she must finally take control of events – and become the author of her own story. Based on true events and reminiscent of The Marriage Portrait by Maggie O'Farrell, The Maiden of Florence (Fairlight Books, 2024) a charismatic voice to a woman cast aside by history. Katherine Mezzacappa is an Irish author currently living in Carrara, northern Tuscany. She holds a BA in History of Art from UEA, an MLitt in English Literature from Durham and a Masters in Creative Writing from Canterbury Christ Church University. Her debut novel (writing as Katie Hutton), The Gypsy Bride, made the last fifteen in the Historical Novel Society's 2018 new novel competition. Her short fiction has been short- and longlisted in numerous competitions, and she has been awarded residencies at Cill Rialaig Artists village by the Irish Writers Centre in 2019 and at Hald Hovedgaard by the Danish Centre for Writers and Translators in 2022.  Learn more about your ad choices.

In s3e59, Platemark host Ann Shafer continues talking to artists included in Print Austin's 5x5 exhibition, juried by Myzska Lewis, a curator at Tandem Press. Second up is Anna Trojanowska, an artist and lithographer from Wroclaw, Poland. Anna creates collages made from lithographs, which she creates on a single marble slab in her garage studio. The works included in 5x5 seek to give the feeling of echolalia, a form of autism in which words and phrases are repeated over and over. That repetition is a central part of the collages and gives the feeling of uncontrolled reverberation. Ann and Anna talk about falling in love with lithography, what it's like to use marble instead of limestone, how the veins in marble wander as the stone is ground down, how to transfer sound into images, and the surprise technique she would turn to if she had to give up lithography.
