Welcome to What Matters Now, a weekly podcast exploring key issues currently shaping Israel and the Jewish World, with host Jessica Steinberg speaking with celebrated writer Etgar Keret. Etgar Keret, a leading voice in Israeli literature, with books published in over four dozen languages, talks about how his perception of writing has changed since the October 7, 2023, Hamas onslaught. Using typical Keret metaphors and description, he explains the challenges of the times, how he once wrote about ethics and ideas and community, and finds that those more abstract ideas have evaporated. Keret speaks at length about the disadvantages of being an Israeli artist in the public sphere, as audiences wait to hear something they don't like. He also discusses social media in this time period and the shifts in the artist-audience relationship. Keret's Substack newsletter, Alphabet Soup, has become a more amenable space in which to share his short stories and ideas. Keret, who teaches creative writing at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, now directs a new MFA program at the Jewish Theological Seminary and he speaks about his students and his desire to make a small but important change by leading the group of nascent writers. What Matters Now podcasts are available for download on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts. This episode was produced by Ari Schlacht.

Journalists and politicians are honouring Robert Fife, who retired after 48 years. Known for his big scoops, Fife leveraged anonymous sources to hold the powerful accountable. But Fife's brand of “access journalism” also runs the risk of being used as a political tool. Jan Wong joins Jesse Brown to explain why journalists shouldn't get too cozy with the politicians they cover.

In Shakespeare's England, the middle of summer was a time of celebration. While the summer season begins at May Day, the longest day of the year, from June 23 into the 24th, was celebrated as the holiday of Midsummer, and Christianized as St. John's Eve and St. John's Day. It was the longest day of the year, and for the life of William Shakespeare, this holiday was marked with celebrations of feasting, dancing, and bonfires. Shakespeare himself immortalizes the spirit of the festivities in Twelfth Night when Olivia says "Why, this is very midsummer madness." Here today to help us unpack what Midsummer celebrations would have been like in the 16-17th century England, as well as to explain for us how seemingly heathen celebration to celebrate the summer solstice lined up with the celebration of the venerable St. John, is our guest and historian, Bill Petro.
We look back on the life of David Hockney - one of the world's most influential modern artists and one of the best-known British contributors to Pop Art.

Iran says major parts of an agreement to end the war with the US have almost been finalised after President Trump claimed a deal was ready to be signed. The UN's top official on HIV and AIDS says massive international aid cuts have left the world's response to the disease "in peril".

Together, with Fr. Mike, we examine the question of when the liturgy is celebrated. The Catechism states that there is a word that marks Christian prayer, and that word is “today.” Fr. Mike emphasizes that our liturgy and worship happens “today,” not in the past and not in the future, but right now in this present moment. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1163-1167. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

We continue to examine the celebration of the liturgy and sacraments. In the context of how the liturgy is celebrated, Fr. Mike explains that we are both body and spirit, and so signs and symbols are the way in which we communicate with and understand the world around us. God communicates spiritual realities in the same way. The signs and symbols which are utilized in the liturgy not only point to spiritual realities, but also make them present. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1145-1152.

It's Thursday, June 4th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark China's Tiananmen Square massacre anniversary Today is the 37th anniversary of China's Tiananmen Square massacre in 1989. In the weeks leading up to the tragic event, students were protesting for democracy in Beijing. The Communist Chinese government responded by forcibly putting down the protests. Hundreds, if not thousands, died in the massacre. China's military also arrested leaders in the underground church which had fueled the protests. Communist Chinese denying Bible to imprisoned pastors Speaking of China, the country continues its persecution of the church. International Christian Concern reports Communist officials are denying access to Bibles for imprisoned pastors. Authorities arrested three leaders of Maizhong Reformed Church last year. Their family members requested to send them Bibles during their imprisonment. But officials refused the request and subjected the families to more intimidation. Please pray for our persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ of the underground church in China. According to Open Doors, China is the 17th most oppressive country worldwide for Christians. Please send a 2-3 sentence letter urging officials to give the Bible to imprisoned pastors. Send it to Chinese Ambassador Xie Feng, Chinese Embassy, 3505 International Place NW, Washington DC 20008. Africa's fertility rate above replacement level Pew Research reports that Africa boasts a young and growing population compared to the rest of the world. The continent is home to 19 percent of people around the globe. And it contains 28 percent of all people under the age of 25. In the next 75 years, nearly half of the world's young people are projected to live in Africa. Also, it is the only world region where the fertility rate is above the replacement level. Scotland officials drop case against pro-life grandmother The government of Scotland recently dropped its case against a pro-life, Christian grandmother. Last September, authorities arrested 75-year-old Rose Docherty. She was simply holding a sign near an abortion mill in Glasgow. The sign read: “Coercion is a crime. Here to talk, only if you want.” A court cleared her of criminal charges in April. And Scotland's prosecution office dropped the case last month. Listen to comments from Mrs. Docherty after her victory. DOCHERTY: “I was arrested, charged, and prosecuted for nothing more than peacefully inviting consensual conversation in a public space that I was permitted to be in. When I was arrested, I was handcuffed, placed in the back of a police van, and placed in a police cell for over two hours without a chair to sit on. Simply for being available for the lonely, the afraid, and the coerced, I have been treated like a violent criminal. “But thankfully, today the charges have been dismissed. The judge ruled that the charges were irrelevant and that they were a breach of my Article 10 free speech rights. Thank you all for your support and prayers. Thank you to ADF International and my entire legal team, who were brilliant. “Nobody should be criminalized for consensual conversations, and I am glad that that truth has been vindicated here today.” In Matthew 5:10, Jesus said, “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven.” Trump proposed new tariffs on 60 countries In the United States, the Trump administration proposed new tariffs of up to 12.5 percent on 60 economies. The U.S. Trade Representative's office released the proposal on Tuesday. It accuses these economies of failing to curb the importation of goods produced with forced labor. These economies include China, India, the European Union, the United Kingdom, and Canada. Episcopal Church installed lesbian bishop in North Carolina An Episcopal Diocese in North Carolina installed Sarah Fisher, a self-avowed lesbian, as its bishop last month. She is living in unnatural relations with another woman, Mandy Brady, who is an Episcopal priestess. It is reportedly the denomination's first appointment of its kind in the American south. Back in 1977, the Episcopal Church received its first homosexual into the clergy. Since then, membership has declined by nearly 50 percent as it has rejected clear Biblical teaching. Gallup poll: Americans less likely to support sexual perversion now A new survey from Gallup found that Americans are becoming less likely to support sexually perverted lifestyles. Support for such sinful lifestyles grew rapidly for two decades, peaking five years ago. Now, 65 percent of U.S. adults favor legal homosexual unions. That's down from a high of 71 percent in 2022. Similarly, 62 percent support homosexual relations now, down from 71 percent over the same time period. Wycliffe Bible Translators celebrated 800th Bible translation And finally, Wycliffe Bible Translators celebrated its 800th Bible translation this week. About 6.2 billion people now have the complete Bible in their own language. It took over 1,900 years to translate the Bible into 400 languages. The next 400 translations were completed in just the last 28 years. Isaiah 11:9-10 says, “The Earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea. And in that day there shall be a Root of Jesse, who shall stand as a banner to the people; for the Gentiles shall seek Him, and His resting place shall be glorious.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, June 4th, in the year of our Lord 2026.

(8) Josiah Osgood explains that following his death, Cato became a "Stoic saint" and a symbol of lost liberty, celebrated by poets like Virgil and Lucan. Caesar's attempt to trash his memory in the Anti-Cato failed to dim Cato's luster as a noble martyr. His reputation for reform even influenced Augustus's imperial image. Under Nero's tyranny, Cato's suicide inspired dissidents who sought dignity through defiant ends. The book concludes with the irony of the Civil War: the peace Romans craved ultimately brought a master, ending the Republic through the very rivalry that defined it.CATO SUICIDE

Ultimately, they stress that podcasting can be a powerful tool for speakers to grow their business without being overly salesy, focusing instead on providing value to listeners.Antoniette and Anastasia explore the nuances of speaking engagements and podcast guesting. They discuss the importance of trust in recommendations, the differences between speaking and podcasting, and the need for evergreen content.Anastasia emphasizes the significance of early engagement and the challenges of booking podcasts, while also providing actionable tips for listeners on how to effectively promote themselves and their messages.

Speakers can no longer treat podcast guesting as a casual add-on. It's increasingly becoming a space where opportunities, positioning, and long-term momentum quietly take shape beyond traditional stages.What seems visible on the surface is only part of the picture. There's more happening beneath what audiences actually see—subtle layers that influence how a speaker is received long before the conversation begins.The shift is less about doing more and more about doing it differently. It's no longer just about increasing appearances, but about understanding how certain environments naturally change the way your message lands.Many speakers are still approaching it the old way. While the space continues to evolve, a lot of strategies haven't caught up—creating a gap between effort and outcome that isn't always obvious at first.Impact is shaped by more than just being present. Two speakers can show up in similar places, yet the way they are perceived and remembered can vary in ways that aren't immediately visible.Positioning plays a quiet but powerful role. How a speaker is framed or introduced can subtly influence how their message is received, even before they begin speaking.Relationships are becoming a silent driver in the background. Beyond the spotlight, familiarity, trust, and ongoing connection often shape how opportunities naturally unfold over time.Every appearance contributes to a larger narrative. Nothing really stands alone—each conversation adds to a broader impression that builds gradually and often quietly.The landscape is evolving in ways most don't fully notice at first. What worked before still exists, but the conditions around it are slowly shifting in ways that change the overall experience.There are layers to visibility most speakers don't immediately see. What looks straightforward on the outside often has deeper dynamics that influence outcomes in subtle but important ways.There's a deeper layer happening beneath every interview, introduction, and interaction that most people overlook. And once you see it, you won't look at podcast appearances—or your speaking strategy—the same way again.If you're serious about growing your influence beyond the stage, building real authority in your space, and understanding how opportunities are actually formed in today's landscape…Ready to see what most speakers are missing in how podcasting actually shapes visibility, positioning, and long-term speaking opportunities?

Are you putting in the hours, doing the deep work, and ticking all your boxes of progress—yet still feeling completely invisible to the world around you? Welcome to the high-performance trap, where chaotic seasons, digital noise, and heavy environment dramas constantly whisper that you are falling short. In this raw, highly anticipated repost episode of the Interviewing Jesus Podcast, host Kristen Wambach tears down performance-based lies to reveal a profound, liberating reality: how God and you celebrate you, even when those around you are completely distracted.Diving deep into the ancient wisdom of Zephaniah 3:17, Kristen pulls back the curtain on a truth most believers miss. God is not an aloof orchestra leader standing on a pedestal, ticking a baton and demanding perfection. He is a mighty warrior actively moving through the details of your ordinary life, singing a literal, loud soundtrack of triumph over your existence. Moving past old, pre-cross frameworks of judgment, Kristen delivers an immediate, outcome-focused layout to shift your heart from the exhaustion of striving for visibility into the secure rest of your true, intrinsic worth.EPISODE TAKEAWAYS The "Monday-Morning" Choice: Happiness is one of the most powerful choices you can make; you do not have to wait for a massive external breakthrough to experience joy when you choose to celebrate the small stuff, like ordinary consistency and quiet acts of kindness. The Validation Shift: Embracing Zephaniah 3:17 permanently shifts your internal perspective from an exhausting cycle of seeking God's approval to simply resting in His preexisting pleasure. Clean Relationship Boundaries: Learning to hold your head high and celebrate your daily growth in His presence acts as a critical line of defense that helps you avoid calamity in relationships. The Emotional Audit: You possess the structural choice to refuse to defend, carry, or entertain other people's bad attitudes, keeping your own heart in perfect peace because their happiness is not your responsibility. Redemptive Imperfection: The cross permanently removed performance-based judgment; your imperfections are no longer areas of rebuke, but the exact places where His grace is most perfectly displayed.
If you've driven through the South, you know the image… entire treelines swallowed whole, every individual form buried under a mass of relentless green. That's kudzu. And I think most of us have some version of it growing in the interior landscape of our lives.Here's the part that I couldn't shake when I started researching this: kudzu wasn't snuck in. It was invited. Celebrated, actually. The U.S. government paid farmers to plant it in the 1930s because it looked like a solution to a real problem. By the 1950s it was classified as a weed. By the 1970s, a federal pest. What was subsidized and welcomed became what devoured the landscape.That's the episode. Because the things that do the most damage in our lives are rarely the things we chose in obvious rebellion, they're the things we welcomed in because they looked like solutions. The coping mechanism that made total sense in the season we adopted it. The way of thinking about ourselves that started as protection and became a prison.And here's the harder truth I had to say out loud first. You can deal with the vine all day long. Cut it, name it, make a commitment. But if you don't deal with the root, it simply waits and resends. The kudzu root goes seven feet deep and weighs four hundred pounds. The vine is just evidence. The root is the conversation.This one's a little uncomfortable. But I think it's the kind of uncomfortable that's actually really good for us.Shannon's Website: https://www.shannonsuzannescott.com/Shannon on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shannonsscott/

Alcock and Brown's 1919 triumph predated Charles Lindbergh's famous crossing by eight years; Lindbergh himself credited them for showing the way. Following their landing, the pair was celebrated across London, eventually attending a luncheon where a young Winston Churchill, then Minister of War and Air, presented the £10,000 prize. Churchill was an early and industrious devotee of aviation. The saga concluded with a poignant banquet in Mayfair where twenty people, including former rivals and engineers, gathered around a single table. The atmosphere shifted from intense competition to a collective celebration of an achievement that changed the world. The Vickers Vimy remains a romantic symbol of this breakthrough in London's Science Museum. David Rooney reflects that this "big hop" into the unknown represents a human spirit of discovery that will likely be mirrored in a future trip to Mars. (4/4)1925

The untimely passing of Nicholas Brendon left BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER fans feeling as though a familiar light had flickered unexpectedly. Appearing in nearly every episode, he became a beloved presence — the kind of character who could make you laugh even when the Hellmouth was doing its worst. His charm, warmth, and unmistakable wit made him a fan favorite, and his absence is felt deeply by those who followed his work.To honor his memory, the award‑nominated Dark Discussions Podcast is turning its attention to one of the most intriguing films in his career: COHERENCE (2013). It's a movie where a simple dinner party becomes a cosmic puzzle box, and reality behaves like it's had one too many glasses of wine. IMDB describes it as a night when a passing comet triggers a chain of reality‑bending events among eight unsuspecting friends — a premise that feels tailor‑made for Brendon's blend of grounded humor and emotional nuance.Written and directed by James Ward Byrkit, the film stars Brendon alongside Emily Baldoni, Maury Sterling, Elizabeth Gracen, Hugo Armstrong, and Lauren Maher. Celebrated by critics and audiences alike, this hidden gem is both an actor's playground and a screenwriter's delight. Your co‑hosts revisit the film with admiration, exploring its clever twists while paying heartfelt tribute to Nicholas Brendon and the memorable artistry he brought to the screen.
Laura Donefer is known for artwork that pushes boundaries by exploring memory, assault, bereavement, joy and madness. Celebrated for her innovative, colorful blown glass and flameworked Amulet Baskets, the artist has been using glass as the primary medium in her work for over 40 years, all while teaching, promoting the glass arts worldwide, and producing her unforgettable Glass Fashion Show (GFS). Donefer has produced 15 of her extraordinary fashion shows, many for the Glass Art Society (GAS). In fact, at GAS Murano 2018, her remarkable and ground-breaking event included 33 glass costumes worn by models as they glided past thrilled onlookers through the canals of Murano, Italy. Award-winning documentary filmmaker David Marshall of Blue Sky Projects Films has undertaken a years-long documentary project dedicated to capturing both the history of Donefer's GFS and the work artists are undertaking to present a captivating and memorable show at GAS's June 2026 conference to be held at the Corning Museum of Glass, Corning, New York. Writes Donefer's assistant and GFS participating artist, Jennifer Hand: "Ten years ago this June, Rik Allen stepped onto a catwalk at the Corning Museum of Glass in a full astronaut getup accompanied by David Bowie's Major Tom and changed my life forever. I found my community in the rapturous throng of creative, compassionate and collaborative humanity who cheered alongside me that night: Die-hard lovers of glass art united by the magnificent spectacle of Laura Donefer's Glass Fashion Show. It was my first Glass Art Society conference, and though the days before the grand finale had been filled with inspiring content and exciting connections, nothing could have prepared me for the cascading emotions I felt witnessing the wild, weird wonder of the artists who had spent years creating costumes for this one-night-only performance. It would have been inconceivable to me at the time, but two short springs later, I danced in my own glass costume on Murano's grand canal to an equally exuberant crowd. It may be challenging for those who have not had the pleasure of attending one of these happenings to fully appreciate their splendor, but for prior participants and audience members alike, the verdict is unanimous - there is nothing on earth like the GFS. Since Donefer hosted the inaugural show at the first Canadian GAS Conference in 1989, she has traveled around the world putting on versions of the event - including several at Corning, Toledo and Toronto, and one particularly raunchy romp in New Orleans. AACG member Beth Hylen, who has been in every glass fashion show except the first, credits the events with transforming her from a quiet librarian to a glassy diva. Hylen describes that experience as a "dream," saying, 'Strutting on the stage is so much fun. The energy behind the scenes is electric, and Laura encourages us to energize our performance on stage. I love working for months creating weird and wonderful wearable glass, and there's nothing like watching the artists who put so much time to create their creations seeing it all come together.' An evening of transcendent beauty is arguably an end goal in itself, but the GFS has impacts far beyond the moment when the last bow has been taken and the last shard of glass swept from the stage. In the years leading up to each fashion show, Donefer provides her encouragement, advice and mentorship to each participant, building a sense of community and modeling her style of unapologetically ebullient leadership to each new generation of GFS artists. GFS veterans seeing each other in the wild at glass world events have a unique bond, and, if we're being fair, an almost evangelical zeal to lure outsiders into the fandom. Neither Donefer nor the models and artists for the performance are compensated for their time, materials or travel to participate - they work their glassy magic into exquisite wearable art out of sheer love of the community and the desire to make the audience gasp in astonished joy.. When Donefer delivers lectures on the history of the Glass Fashion Show, she shares a multitude of stories from her decades leading this singular aspect of the glass field - friendships made, injuries narrowly avoided, and institutional boundaries skirted. Profound storyteller that she is, her lectures are equal parts entertaining and educational, but alone they cannot tell the full story of this cultural phenomenon. Recognizing the magnitude of Donefer's contribution to the trajectory of the glass community, award-winning film maker David Marshall of Blue Sky Projects Films has undertaken a years-long documentary project dedicated to capturing… the Glass Fashion Show… Marshall has begun filming interviews with Donefer and her participating artists, including teams from Murano, Hilltop Artists in Tacoma and Project Fire in Chicago. Film crews will also be on hand in Corning this June to do cinematic justice to the detail and exquisite skilling of this year's costumes, which have been mandated by Donefer to be the most extravagant ever - headpieces, footwear, and head-to-toe glass on every model. Between the passion and labor of the artists and Marshall's thoughtful filmmaking, the documentary will properly honor and record the unparalleled contributions Donefer has made to glass history."

Reflecting on his childhood during the Iran-Iraq War, Abdul-Ahad recalls the pervasive militarization of society, where children wore military uniforms and celebrated hollow "victories." Saddam Hussein was revered as the "Leader of Necessity," justifying his absolute authority. Crucially, Abdul-Ahad argues that pre-2003 Iraq was defined by class and geography rather than sectarianism — the Sunni-Shia divide was a narrative largely "imposed" by exiles and the conditions created by the American-led war.
