We are proud to bring you two very different films that celebrate representation from international independent voices.At the Place of Ghosts is a trauma-centric horror film that follows two estranged brothers as they venture into the wilderness to exorcise a demon and confront the ghosts of the past in order to find healing and closure. We are joined by director Bretten Hannam to dive into the difficulties of filming in the middle of a dense forest, the importance of sharing the indigenous language, and the sibling dynamics and family secrets at the core of this film.Black Burns Fast is a sweet and awkward coming-of-age story about a scholarship student at an elite all girls' private school whose world is turned upside down when she forms a crush on the new girl in school. Director Sandulela Asanda shares why she wanted to share a lighthearted queer narrative, telling a story that she wanted to see as a kid, and how writing a letter to her 17-year-old self helped her write the screenplay.At the Place of Ghosts is screening on June 20th at the Roxie, get tickets HERE!Black Burns Fast is screening on June 19th at New Parkway and June 26th at the Roxie, get tickets HERE!Follow director Bretten Hannam on IGFollow director Sandulela Asanda on IGSupport the showThanks for listening and for your support!

 What was it like to grow up American in 1968 Bangkok, living in the shadow of the Vietnam War? In this episode, I sit down with author Daria Sommers to discuss her debut historical fiction novel, Sawadika American Girl — a coming-of-age story set against one of history's most turbulent eras. Daria shares the little known story of the vast American expat community in Thailand during the Vietnam War, the experience of being a "third culture kid," and how storytelling and art can heal even the deepest historical wounds. A must-listen for fans of historical fiction, Vietnam War history, and the power of narrative to reclaim hidden stories.[3:44] Introduction to Sawadika American Girl — historical fiction set in 1968 Bangkok[4:36] The American expat community in Thailand during the Vietnam War[5:48] Piper's backstory — loss, family tension, and dislocation[8:59] The role of friendship and freedom in a coming-of-age story[14:56] Music, healing, and the Thai prince who anchored it all[17:45] First love during wartime — Jack's story and what they were up against[21:34] Daria's own background as a third culture kid in Bangkok[23:02] The burden of a childhood you couldn't talk about[32:16] Returning home — finding your people after a third culture childhood[39:06] From documentary filmmaker to veteran's advocate — the making of Lioness[44:36] Speaking at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial — when hidden stories finally matter[50:17] Where to find Sawadika American Girl and follow Daria's workDaria's websiteSupport the show

FANCY YOURSELF A CELEB EXPERT? Take The Spill's Pop Culture Quiz here.There's a brand-new young adult romance that's completely binge-worthy, and if you've been rewatching The Summer I Turned Pretty and Off Campus, this is your next obsession. It's set in a picturesque lakeside town with impossibly attractive brothers, and characters navigating first love, secrets, and the kind of emotional complexity that makes you want to keep pressing play at 2am.Plus, a darkly comic slasher that's an absolute masterpiece has just hit streaming services. Jason Segel and Samara Weaving have come out with one of the best screams in the business, playing a married couple whose relationship has deteriorated so badly that they've each independently decided to kill each other on a romantic getaway. It's hilarious, chaotic, properly gory, and proof that sometimes watching a relationship implode in the most absurd, violent way possible is the funniest thing you'll see all week.

COA Youth & Mentors, with Rev. Stevie Carmody, Minister of Religious Education Worship service given May 31, 2026 Prayer by Rev. Carolyn Patierno, Adjunct Minister https://firstparish.info/ First Parish A liberal religious community, welcoming to all First gathered 1739 At First Parish, we honor the passage from childhood towards adulthood through our Coming of Age program for 8th graders. Join us to hear them share their Credo ("I believe") statements. As another cohort passes through the "Arch of Love," we celebrate all the people who have contributed to our multigenerational community. The service will be accompanied by music from the First Parish Bell Choir and First Parish Choir.  Offering and Giving First The Giving First program donates 50% of the non-pledge offering each month to a charitable organization that we feel is consistent with Unitarian Universalist principles. The program began in November 2009, and First Parish has donated over $200,000 to more than 70 organizations. For May 2026, The First Pioneer Valley Dream Center will share half the offering collected during Sunday worship at First Parish.  The First Pioneer Valley Dream Center, based in Springfield, MA, provides essential services like food and clothing at no cost to struggling families and individuals from all walks of life. Living their call to love and serve God and others, their goal is to inspire hope and empower lives. One of their services is to provide purpose-driven volunteer work to the residents of the local correctional facility where one of our First Parish members was housed recently. This member nominated the organization in recognition of their excellent work and in gratitude for the care and support they offered her during her service at the Dream Center. Learn more at their website: https://firstpvdreamcenter.org/. The remaining half of your offering supports the life and work of this Parish. To donate using your smartphone, you may text "fpuu" to 73256. Then follow the directions in the texts you receive.

In her third feature (Saccharine, in theaters now and on Shudder in July), Natalie Erika James tackles themes of obsession, disordered eating, and queerness. And while the two movies are VERY different (one a psychological horror, the other a quiet, BAFTA-winning drama), those are all themes Saccharine shares with My Summer of Love, Pawel Pawlikowski's 2004 film that introduced the world to Emily Blunt. Then, Jordan has one quick thing about Jane Schoenbrun's upcoming Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, which just premiered at Cannes.

It's even better because I'm with you."Ko: 둘은 같은 속도로 천천히 나무 길을 따라 걸었다.En: They walked slowly along the wooden path, keeping the same pace.Ko: 가지마다 피어 있는 꽃들이 떨어질 것 같이 바람에 흔들렸다.En: The flowers blooming on the branches shook as if they might fall in the breeze.Ko: 마침내 그들은 강가로 이어지는 작은 다리에 다다랐다.En: Finally, they reached a small bridge leading to the riverside.Ko: 그런데 그때, 예상치 못한 인물이 그곳에 있었다.En: However, at that moment, an unexpected person was there.Ko: "안녕, 소진?" 하고 다정하게 인사하는 소리에 두 사람은 동시에 돌아보았다.En: At the sound of a friendly greeting, "Hello, Sojin?" both turned simultaneously.Ko: 이다. 하나는 소진의 옛 사랑이었다.En: It was Hana, Sojin's old love.Ko: 그녀는 언제나 자신감 넘치는 미소를 가지고 있었다.En: She always wore a confident smile.Ko: 소진은 놀란 듯 잠시 멈칫하다가, 따뜻한 미소로 대답했다. "하나! 여기에 있을 줄 몰랐어."En: Sojin paused momentarily in surprise and then replied with a warm smile, "Hana! I didn't expect to see you here."Ko: 진우는 갑작스러운 인물의 등장이 더욱 당황스러워졌다.En: Jinwoo was even more bewildered by the sudden appearance of this person.Ko: 하지만 그는 조용히 뒤로 물러서서 소진과 하나의 대화를 지켜보았다.En: However, he quietly stepped back and watched the conversation between Sojin and Hana.Ko: 이내 그들의 대화는 추억과 감정으로 가득 찼다.En: Soon, their conversation was filled with memories and emotions.Ko: 하늘이 점점 흐려지면서 진우의 마음도 무거워졌다.En: As the sky grew overcast, Jinwoo's heart grew heavy.Ko: 그는 소진에게 고백할 계획이었지만, 그녀가 하나와 재회한 장면에 혼란스러웠다.En: He had planned to confess to Sojin, but he was confused by the scene of her reunion with Hana.Ko: 멀리서 들려오는 새들의 노래는 그에게 작은 위안을 주었지만, 결정을 내리는 것은 여전히 어려웠다.En: The distant songs of birds provided him some comfort, but making a decision was still difficult.Ko: 마침내, 소진과 하나가 작별 인사를 했다.En: Finally, Sojin and Hana bid farewell.Ko: 소진은 진우에게 돌아와 다정하게 미소 지었다.En: Sojin returned to Jinwoo with a gentle smile.Ko: "정말 오래된 친구를 다시 만나니 이상한 기분이야."En: "It's a strange feeling to meet such an old friend again."Ko: 진우는 심호흡을 하며 용기를 냈다.En: Jinwoo took a deep breath and summoned his courage.Ko: "소진, 할 말 있어." 그는 속마음을 털어놓았다.En: "Sojin, I have something to say." He poured out his heart.Ko: "너가 정말 소중해. 항상 곁에 있고 싶어."En: "You are really precious to me. I always want to be by your side."Ko: 소진은 순간 놀랐지만, 그의 눈을 마주했다.En: Sojin was momentarily surprised but met his gaze.Ko: "고마워, 진우. 그런 감정을 표현해줘서 감사해. 나에게는 시간이 필요해.En: "Thank you, Jinwoo. Thank you for expressing those feelings. I need some time.Ko: 하지만 너와의 우정을 잃고 싶지 않아."En: But I don't want to lose our friendship."Ko: 봄바람이 두 사람의 사이를 지나듯 부드럽게 흩날렸다.En: The spring breeze gently blew between them, as if passing through.Ko: 그들은 서로를 이해하며, 새로운 시작의 의미를 그렸다.En: They understood each other and drew meaning from the start of something new.Ko: 진우는 결정을 내리고 소중한 마음을 표현하는 것의 가치를 배웠다.En: Jinwoo learned the value of making a decision and expressing cherished feelings.Ko: 그는 그들의 우정이 시간이 지나도 굳건하리라는 것을 느꼈다.En: He felt that their friendship would remain strong as time went by.Ko: 하늘은 여전히 옅은 분홍빛으로 빛났다.En: The sky still shone with a faint pink hue.Ko: 두 사람은 다시 섬의 길을 따라 나아갔다.En: The two of them moved forward along the island path again.Ko: 벚꽃이 날리는 모습을 보며, 진정한 우정과 사랑이 시간과 함께 깊어지는 것을 천천히 깨달았다.En: Watching the falling cherry blossoms, they slowly realized that true friendship and love deepen with time.

In dieser Folge wird es familiär und wie immer literarisch vielschichtig. Karla und Günter stellen euch vier Bücher vor, die zeigen, wie schnell Fassaden bröckeln: in der Vorstadt, in der eigenen Familiengeschichte, in der Welt der Vermögenden – und das über mehrere Generationen hinweg.Madeline Cash: „Verlorene Schäfchen“: Die Familie Flynn ist ein schräges, chaotisches Vorstadt-System: drei Töchter, die überall anecken und Eltern in der Midlife-Crisis. Madeline Cash erzählt ihren Debüt-Roman mit Tempo, Witz und einer Wärme, die selbst die dunkelsten Momente überraschend menschlich macht. Anja Jonuleit: „Wo der Wind die Namen trägt“: Mit 85 bekommt Inge Sundermann Post aus der Heimat – und mit ihr kehren Erinnerungen zurück, die sie jahrzehntelang weggesperrt hat. Der Roman erzählt in Rückblicken von einer Kindheit, in der ein Verbrechen und sein Verschweigen einen ganzen Ort bis heute prägen. Ohne Romantisierung, aber mit Sogwirkung und eindrucksvoller Recherche.Florian Scheibe: „Die Verluste“: Ein Patriarch will Millionen in einen privaten Luxusbunker stecken – und plötzlich bricht in der privilegierten Familie Werner alles auf, was lange unter der Oberfläche brodelte. Erbe, Status, alte Kränkungen und Lebenslügen treffen aufeinander, bis eine unausweichliche Konfrontation näher rückt.Mithu Sanyal: „Antichristie“: London 2022: Durga soll Hercule Poirot für eine antirassistische Neuverfilmung adaptieren – und landet dann buchstäblich in einer anderen Zeit. Zwischen 1906, indischen Revolutionären und einem ziemlich entzauberten Gandhi jongliert Sanyal mit Genres und Perspektiven – absurd, klug, politisch und dabei extrem unterhaltsam.Alle Titel dieser Folge:Madeline Cash: "Verlorene Schäfchen" (Penguin)Anja Jonuleit: "Wo der Wind die Namen trägt" (C.Bertelsmann)Florian Scheibe: "Die Verluste" (btb)Mithu Sanyal: "Antichristie" (btb)+++Viel Spaß mit dieser Folge.

Itt az ideje ünnepelni!”En: She approached him and enthusiastically said, "Gábor, don't worry so much! It's time to celebrate!"Hu: Az ünnepség zajlott tovább.En: The ceremony continued.Hu: A tanárok büszke szavakkal köszöntötték a búcsúzó diákokat.En: The teachers greeted the departing students with proud words.Hu: Az udvar zöld füvén a diákok nevetéssel és reményekkel telve ültek.En: On the green grass of the courtyard, the students sat, filled with laughter and hopes.Hu: Zsófia ekkor odahajolt Gáborhoz: „Van egy tervem.En: Zsófia then leaned over to Gábor: "I have a plan.Hu: Ma este rendezünk egy kis bulit!En: Tonight we'll have a little party!Hu: Csak mi, barátok.En: Just us, friends.Hu: Ez segít, hogy kikapcsolódj és élvezd ezt a napot.”En: This will help you relax and enjoy the day."Hu: Gábor mosolygott, bár gondolatai még mindig a jövő körött forogtak.En: Gábor smiled, though his thoughts still revolved around the future.Hu: Az egyetem vonzotta, közel volt, de a gondolat, hogy a megszokott utat válassza, nem lelkesítette.En: The thought of university attracted him; it was close, but the idea of choosing the usual path didn't excite him.Hu: Mindig is szeretett volna elmenni egy nyári szakmai gyakorlatra, belekóstolni valami újba, de nem volt biztos benne, hogy merjen lépni.En: He had always wanted to go for a summer internship, to try something new, but he wasn't sure if he dared to take the step.Hu: A nap végén Zsófia maga után húzta Gábort a virágzó cseresznyefa alá.En: At the end of the day, Zsófia pulled Gábor under the blossoming cherry tree.Hu: Itt, a rokonlelkű barát árnyékában, végre beszélni kezdett a félelmeiről.En: Here, in the shade of a kindred spirit, he finally began to speak about his fears.Hu: „Nem tudom, mit csináljak, Zsófia.En: "I don't know what to do, Zsófia.Hu: Félek, hogy rossz döntést hozok.”En: I'm afraid I'll make the wrong decision."Hu: Zsófia keze Gábor vállára simult.En: Zsófia's hand rested on Gábor's shoulder.Hu: „Gábor, nézd meg ezt a fát.En: "Gábor, look at this tree.Hu: Minden tavasszal újrakezdi.En: Every spring, it starts anew.Hu: A jövő sem más, mint egy új kezdet.En: The future is nothing but a new beginning.Hu: Használj ki minden lehetőséget.En: Take advantage of every opportunity.Hu: Hidd el, megéri kockáztatni.”En: Believe me, it's worth taking the risk."Hu: Gábor figyelt a csendes szavakra.En: Gábor listened to the quiet words.Hu: A cseresznyefa fölött madarak repkedtek, ahogy az esti szél lobogtatta leveleiket.En: Above the cherry tree, birds flew as the evening wind fluttered their leaves.Hu: Hirtelen mindent másképp látott.En: Suddenly he saw everything differently.Hu: Nem kellett félnie a jövőtől; inkább meg kellett ismerkednie vele.En: He didn't have to be afraid of the future; he should get acquainted with it instead.Hu: Az estén tartott ünnepségen Gábor végül lazított.En: During the evening celebration, Gábor finally relaxed.Hu: A barátok nevetése, a zeneszó és Zsófia bátorítása végre megtették hatásukat.En: The laughter of friends, the music, and Zsófia's encouragement finally took effect.Hu: Az este végén megerősödött benne a döntés: jelentkezni fog a szakmai gyakorlatra.En: By the end of the evening, he was resolute in his decision: he would apply for the internship.Hu: Az első lépés mindig a legnehezebb, de úgy döntött, a jövő lehetőségeit örömmel fogja üdvözölni.En: The first step is always the hardest, but he decided to welcome the possibilities of the future with joy.

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: Blossoms of Hope: Bence's Bold Step Into Adulthood Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2026-05-21-07-38-20-hu Story Transcript:Hu: A tavaszi napok érkezése mindig különleges időszak volt a kis magyar faluban, ahol az árvaház állt.En: The arrival of spring days was always a special period in the small Hungarian village where the orphanage stood.Hu: Az utca mentén kövek és virágzó tavaszi virágok díszítették a környezetet, mindenhol az élet öröme érződött.En: Stones and blooming spring flowers decorated the streets, and the joy of life was felt everywhere.Hu: Az árvaház, a falu szélén, barátságos menedék volt, ahol a gyermekek szívesen játszottak a friss tavaszi szélben.En: The orphanage, at the edge of the village, was a friendly refuge where the children loved to play in the fresh spring breeze.Hu: Kata, az árvaház kedves gondozónője, mindig érzékeny figyelemmel követte a gyermekek napjait.En: Kata, the kind caretaker of the orphanage, always watched the children's days with sensitive attention.Hu: Különösen figyelt Bence iránt, aki nemrégiben töltötte be a tizennyolcadik életévét.En: She paid special attention to Bence, who had recently turned eighteen.Hu: Bence előtt izgalmas, ám bizonytalan idők álltak, amint készült elhagyni az egyetlen otthonát, amelyet valaha ismert.En: Exciting yet uncertain times awaited Bence as he was preparing to leave the only home he had ever known.Hu: Kata elhatározta, hogy segít Bencének ebben a fontos életszakaszban.En: Kata decided to help Bence during this important stage of his life.Hu: Tudta, hogy a közelgő ünnepi fesztivál, amely Magyarország alapítását ünnepli, tökéletes lehetőség lehet Bence számára.En: She knew that the upcoming holiday festival, celebrating the founding of Hungary, could be a perfect opportunity for Bence.Hu: A pünkösdi ünnepség, tele színes programokkal, talán új inspirációt adna neki.En: The Pentecost celebration, filled with colorful programs, might offer him new inspiration.Hu: Egy napsütéses reggelen Kata és Bence elindultak a fesztiválra.En: On a sunny morning, Kata and Bence set off for the festival.Hu: Az utcák tele voltak emberekkel, nevetgéléssel és zene hangzott minden sarokból.En: The streets were full of people, laughter echoed, and music played on every corner.Hu: Bence szíve először kissé feszült volt, hiszen félt az ismeretlentől, de Kata mellette állt, biztatva őt.En: Bence's heart was a little tense at first, as he feared the unknown, but Kata was beside him, encouraging him.Hu: Ahogy járkáltak a rendezvényen, egy csoport előadó ragadta meg Bence figyelmét.En: As they walked around the event, a group of performers caught Bence's attention.Hu: Bátor és átalakuló történeteik egybevágtak Bence belső útkeresésével.En: Their bold and transformative stories resonated with Bence's internal quest.Hu: Talán először érezte igazán, hogy nem ő az egyetlen, aki küzd a jövővel szemben.En: Perhaps for the first time, he truly felt that he wasn't the only one struggling with the future.Hu: Az előadók példái erőt és reményt adtak neki.En: The performers' examples gave him strength and hope.Hu: A fesztivál végére Bence új önbizalommal tért vissza az árvaházba.En: By the end of the festival, Bence returned to the orphanage with newfound confidence.Hu: Arcán mosollyal és új energiával ment végig a faluban.En: With a smile on his face and new energy, he walked through the village.Hu: Kata, aki mindvégig szorosan követte őt tekintetével, végre megkönnyebbült sóhajtásra fakadt.En: Kata, who closely watched him all along, finally let out a sigh of relief.Hu: Tudta, hogy Bence készen áll a világra, bátran nézhet szembe az élet új kihívásaival.En: She knew that Bence was ready for the world and could bravely face the new challenges of life.Hu: Bence most már biztosabb volt a dolgában, készen állt arra, hogy elinduljon a saját útján.En: Bence was now more certain about his path, ready to embark on his own journey.Hu: Kata ugyan egy kicsit szomorú volt, hogy el kell engednie őt, mégis boldog volt, hiszen látta, hogy Bence megérett a felnőtté válásra.En: While Kata felt a little sad about letting him go, she was happy because she saw that Bence had matured into adulthood.Hu: Az árvaház kapui mögött egy új fejezet kezdődött mindkettőjük életében, ahol a múlt szeretetteljes emlékei kísérték őket az új kalandokhoz vezető úton.En: Behind the gates of the orphanage, a new chapter began in both of their lives, where the loving memories of the past accompanied them on their way to new adventures.

Missed Sunday's inspiring Coming of Age service? Our youth shared powerful personal credos—deep reflections on the beliefs, values, and experiences shaping their lives. Their honesty, wisdom, and courage moved our community deeply. Listen now to witness their journeys and celebrate the voices of the next generation.

The year 1968 has become synonymous with protest and upheaval around the world. On this episode of the Transatlantic, Bakhti talks with Adrian Matus, author of the book The Long 1968 in Hungary and Romania, about what this pivotal year looked like in Hungary, Romania, and elsewhere behind the Iron Curtain. Bakhti and Adrian discuss how the generation of eastern Europeans born admidst World War II resisted the authoritarian systems they grew up in in uncoventional ways—through universities, literature, and even making their own instruments. Adrian then shares how the legacy of the '68ers lives on in Ukrainians under Russian occupation who are keeping their culture and identity alive using many of the same methods. --- Adrian Matus is an educator and scholar annd the Editor of the Democracy and Culture section. He defended his PhD in History at the European University Institute in 2022. Subsequently, he wrote a book entitled, "The Long 1968 in Hungary and Romania." Previously he graduated from Université Sorbonne Paris IV and Babeș-Bolyai University from Cluj-Napoca. From 2020 to 2022, he curated the "Communist Parties from Non-Socialist Countries" collection at the Blinken Open Society Archives, then continued researching this topic as a postdoctoral fellow at the New Europe College Bucharest.

de bryr sig inte om prov eller betyg."En: "Look at those moose—they don't care about exams or grades."Sv: Oskar skrattade, men tankarna på hans framtid gav honom ingen vila.En: Oskar laughed, but thoughts of his future gave him no rest.Sv: När de stannade vid ett av de gamla svenska stugorna, satte de sig ner på en bänk.En: When they stopped by one of the old Swedish cottages, they sat down on a bench.Sv: Här, mitt i historiens skugga, delade Elsa sin perspektiv med Oskar.En: Here, in the shadow of history, Elsa shared her perspective with Oskar.Sv: "Du vet, Oskar, ibland är det viktigare att njuta av stunden," sa Elsa mjukt.En: "You know, Oskar, sometimes it's more important to enjoy the moment," Elsa said softly.Sv: "Vi kan inte alltid planera allt.En: "We can't always plan everything.Sv: Vad händer om du missar små ögonblick av lycka för att du alltid tänker på framtiden?"En: What if you miss small moments of happiness because you're always thinking about the future?"Sv: Oskar tänkte efter.En: Oskar reflected.Sv: Elsa hade kanske rätt.En: Elsa might be right.Sv: Han behövde hitta balansen mellan att arbeta hårt och att faktiskt leva.En: He needed to find a balance between working hard and actually living.Sv: Inspirationen från denna dag på Skansen var en ögonöppnare.En: The inspiration from this day at Skansen was an eye-opener.Sv: Senare, när de sagt hejdå och Oskar var hemma igen, satte han sig vid sitt skrivbord.En: Later, when they said goodbye and Oskar was back home, he sat down at his desk.Sv: Han kände sig lättare, som om en okänd tyngd lämnat honom.En: He felt lighter, as if an unknown weight had left him.Sv: Han bestämde sig för att ta korta pauser mellan studierna.En: He decided to take short breaks between his studies.Sv: Han skulle fortfarande vara flitig, men nu med en ny insikt: det fanns plats för både arbete och glädje i hans liv.En: He would still be diligent but now with a new insight: there was room for both work and joy in his life.Sv: När provveckan var över, hade Oskar en märkbar ny energi och självsäkerhet.En: When exam week was over, Oskar had a noticeable new energy and confidence.Sv: Att släppa oron, om än bara lite, hade gjort det möjligt att se klarare och tänka tydligare.En: Letting go of worry, even just a little, had made it possible to see more clearly and think more lucidly.Sv: Medan våren fortsatte sprida färg och liv omkring honom, visste Oskar att han kanske inte visste allt om framtiden.En: As spring continued to spread color and life around him, Oskar knew he might not know everything about the future.Sv: Men han hade lärt sig vikten av att omfamna både förberedelserna och de oväntade ögonblicken av lycka.En: But he had learned the importance of embracing both preparations and the unexpected moments of happiness.

Transcript:Da: I de tætte skove i det nordlige Danmark lå et åndeligt retreat, omgivet af høje, grønne træer og en stille bæk, der snoede sig gennem landskabet.En: In the dense forests of northern Danmark lay a spiritual retreat, surrounded by tall, green trees and a quiet brook that wound through the landscape.Da: Det var forår, og luften var frisk.En: It was spring, and the air was fresh.Da: Skolen havde arrangeret en tur til retreatet, og eleverne så frem til nogle dage væk fra klasselokalet.En: The school had arranged a trip to the retreat, and the students looked forward to a few days away from the classroom.Da: Freja gik langs kanten af gruppen.En: Freja walked along the edge of the group.Da: Hun følte sig ofte uset og misforstået af sine klassekammerater.En: She often felt unseen and misunderstood by her classmates.Da: Hendes tanker var som en uro, der aldrig helt kunne finde ro.En: Her thoughts were like a turmoil that could never quite find peace.Da: Jonas, klassekammeraten, skinnede som solen blandt dem alle.En: Jonas, her classmate, shone like the sun among them all.Da: Han var populær, snakkesalig og havde altid en vittighed klar.En: He was popular, talkative, and always had a joke ready.Da: Men indeni søgte Jonas noget mere.En: But inside, Jonas was seeking something more.Da: Mens gruppen satte sig for at høre dagens program, gled Frejas blik mod de tætte træer.En: As the group sat down to hear the day's program, Freja's gaze drifted toward the dense trees.Da: Hun tænkte på, hvor rart det ville være at slippe fra det hele.En: She thought about how nice it would be to escape it all.Da: Hun havde brug for fred.En: She needed peace.Da: Selvom argumenterne i hendes hoved var svære at ignorere, tog hun en beslutning.En: Though the arguments in her head were hard to ignore, she made a decision.Da: Hun rejste sig stille og gik ind mod skovens dyb.En: She quietly stood up and walked into the depths of the forest.Da: Jonas lagde mærke til hendes fravær.En: Jonas noticed her absence.Da: Nysgerrig og måske lidt bekymret, besluttede han at følge hende.En: Curious and maybe a little worried, he decided to follow her.Da: Skoven var tættere end den så ud, men han fulgte lyden af bækken, indtil han fandt hende.En: The forest was denser than it appeared, but he followed the sound of the brook until he found her.Da: Freja sad med lukkede øjne ved den lille strøm og trak vejret dybt.En: Freja sat with her eyes closed by the small stream and took a deep breath.Da: "Freja?"En: "Freja?"Da: sagde Jonas stille og satte sig ved hendes side.En: said Jonas softly and sat down beside her.Da: Freja åbnede øjnene og kiggede forbløffet på ham.En: Freja opened her eyes and looked at him in surprise.Da: Hun tøvede, men Jonas' venlige øjne opmuntrede hende.En: She hesitated, but Jonas' friendly eyes encouraged her.Da: Hun begyndte at tale, nervøs men ærlig.En: She began to speak, nervous but honest.Da: Hun fortalte Jonas om, hvordan hun ofte følte sig usynlig.En: She told Jonas how she often felt invisible.Da: Hvordan hun kæmpede med at finde sin plads.En: How she struggled to find her place.Da: Jonas lyttede opmærksomt.En: Jonas listened attentively.Da: Sandsynligvis for første gang i lang tid, delte han sine egne tanker.En: Probably for the first time in a long while, he shared his own thoughts.Da: Hans venner var mange, men ofte følte han sig alene.En: His friends were many, but often he felt alone.Da: Alene i jagten på noget ægte.En: Alone in the pursuit of something real.Da: Der, ved den stille bæk, forstod de hinanden.En: There, by the quiet brook, they understood each other.Da: Skoven omkring dem virkede som en tryg ramme for deres nye forbindelse.En: The forest around them seemed like a safe frame for their new connection.Da: Da de vendte tilbage til de andre, føltes alt anderledes.En: When they returned to the others, everything felt different.Da: Freja med en ny fundet styrke og Jonas med en følelse af ægthed.En: Freja with newfound strength and Jonas with a sense of authenticity.Da: De gik side om side tilbage mod gruppen, klar til at møde verden på en ny måde.En: They walked side by side back to the group, ready to face the world in a new way.Da: Freja smilede.En: Freja smiled.Da: Jonas trak vejret dybt ind, som om han endelig havde fundet det, han ikke vidste, han havde ledt efter.En: Jonas took a deep breath, as if he had finally found what he didn't know he was looking for.Da: De havde indgået en stille aftale om altid at være der for hinanden.En: They had made a silent pact to always be there for each other.Da: Denne tur til skoven havde givet mere end blot en pause fra skolen.En: This trip to the forest had given more than just a break from school.Da: Den havde givet to sjæle en ny forståelse og dybde.En: It had given two souls a new understanding and depth.

Transcript:Hi: धूप खिली थी और समुद्र की ठंडी हवा मुंबई के गेटवे ऑफ इंडिया पर मचल रही थी।En: The sun was shining and the cool sea breeze was playfully swirling around the Gateway of India in Mumbai.Hi: पूरे शहर की चमक-दमक में यह ऐतिहासिक धरोहर अपनी अलग ही शान बिखेर रही थी।En: Amidst the city's vibrant grandeur, this historical monument exuded its distinct charm.Hi: आज एक स्कूल ट्रिप का दिन था, और हर कोई अपने दोस्तों के साथ मस्ती के लिए तैयार था।En: Today was the day of a school trip, and everyone was ready to have fun with their friends.Hi: आरव भी इस ट्रिप का हिस्सा था, लेकिन उसके मन में कई उलझनें थीं।En: Aarav was also part of this trip, although he had many confusions on his mind.Hi: वह एक जिज्ञासु और साहसी लड़का था, लेकिन अपने सहपाठियों के बीच घुलना-मिलना उसके लिए मुश्किल होता था।En: He was a curious and brave boy, but mingling with his classmates was difficult for him.Hi: खासकर, जब बात प्रिया की हो, जिसकी आत्मविश्वास भरी मुस्कान से वह प्रभावित था।En: Especially when it came to Priya, whose confident smile deeply impressed him.Hi: प्रिया आत्मविश्वास से लबरेज थी और हर नए अनुभव पर खुले दिल से मुस्कुरा कर आगे बढ़ती थी।En: Priya was full of confidence and approached every new experience with an open and smiling heart.Hi: गेटवे ऑफ इंडिया की सुंदरता उसके मन को बहुत भा रही थी, और वह सबके साथ इसे खोजना चाहती थी।En: The beauty of the Gateway of India greatly delighted her, and she wanted to explore it with everyone.Hi: लेकिन आरव अब तक एक कोने में खड़ा था, बाकी लोगों की बातें सुनने की कोशिश करता।En: Meanwhile, Aarav stood in a corner, trying to listen to the conversations of others.Hi: आरव ने फैसला किया कि आज वह अपनी झिझक को तोड़ेगा।En: Aarav decided that today he would break his hesitation.Hi: वह प्रिया के पास गया और उसे दोस्तों के साथ इमारत की नक्काशी देखने के लिए कहा।En: He went up to Priya and asked her to join friends in viewing the building's carvings.Hi: यह आरव के लिए एक बड़ा कदम था।En: This was a big step for Aarav.Hi: गेटवे ऑफ इंडिया के चारों ओर चहल-पहल थी।En: There was a buzz of activity around the Gateway of India.Hi: पास ही ताज होटल की बड़ी इमारत थी, जिससे यह स्थल और आकर्षक लग रहा था।En: Nearby was the large building of the Taj Hotel, making the place even more attractive.Hi: दोनों भवनों के पीछे समुद्र अपनी लहरों के साथ धीमे-धीमे गूंज रहा था।En: Behind both buildings, the sea was gently resonating with its waves.Hi: जब सब लोग इधर-उधर घूम रहे थे, प्रिया और आरव अचानक ही ग्रुप से अलग हो गए।En: While everyone was wandering around, Priya and Aarav suddenly found themselves separated from the group.Hi: गेटवे ऑफ इंडिया के पास एक छोटी गली की ओर देखते हुए, प्रिया ने आरव से कहा, "चलो, थोड़ा और एक्सप्लोर करते हैं?En: Looking towards a small alley near the Gateway of India, Priya said to Aarav, "Shall we do a little more exploring?"Hi: " आरव ने हिम्मत जुटाई और सहमति में सिर हिला दिया।En: Aarav gathered courage and nodded in agreement.Hi: यह उनके लिए एक विशेष अवसर था।En: This was a special opportunity for them.Hi: प्रिया के आत्मविश्वास और खुलेपन ने आरव को स्वयं को व्यक्त करने की स्वतंत्रता दी।En: Priya's confidence and openness gave Aarav the freedom to express himself.Hi: चलते हुए, उन्होंने अपने जीवन, पसंद-नापसंद और कई अन्य बातें साझा कीं।En: As they walked, they shared their lives, likes, dislikes, and many other things.Hi: आरव ने महसूस किया कि प्रिया न केवल एक अच्छी साथी थी बल्कि एक अच्छी श्रोता भी थी।En: Aarav realized that Priya was not only a good companion but also a good listener.Hi: थोड़ी देर बाद, वे दोनों वापस अपने ग्रुप के पास पहुंचे।En: After a while, they both returned to their group.Hi: हालांकि ग्रीष्म की दोपहर ढल रही थी, लेकिन आरव की मुस्कान नहीं थमी।En: Although the summer afternoon was waning, Aarav's smile did not fade.Hi: उसके कदम अब हल्के थे और मन आत्मविश्वास से भरा था।En: His steps were now light, and his mind was filled with confidence.Hi: उसके चेहरे पर समझदारियों की एक नई चमक थी।En: There was a new glow of understanding on his face.Hi: प्रिया की दोस्ती का हाथ थामकर, आरव को एहसास हुआ कि बाकी लोगों के साथ घुलने-मिलने का डर सिर्फ उसके मन का वहम था।En: Holding the hand of Priya's friendship, Aarav realized that the fear of mingling with others was just an illusion of his mind.Hi: वह जान गया था कि खुद को व्यक्त करने में कुछ भी गलत नहीं है।En: He understood that there was nothing wrong with expressing oneself.Hi: अब आरव का दिल हर नई चुनौती के लिए तैयार था।En: Now Aarav's heart was ready for every new challenge.Hi: स्कूल ट्रिप खत्म हुई, लेकिन आरव की यह यात्रा उसे हमेशा याद रहेगी।En: The school trip ended, but this journey remained a lasting memory for Aarav.Hi: उसने पाया कि जो दिखाई देता है, उससे कहीं ज्यादा हमारे अंदर छुपा होता है।En: He discovered that there is much more hidden inside us than what is visible.Hi: गेटवे ऑफ इंडिया की यह यात्रा उसके जीवन की सबसे खास यात्राओं में से एक बन गई।En: This journey to the Gateway of India became one of the most special journeys of his life.

She lives in New Jersey with her husband, son, and their wise cat, Goosie.YASHA'S AMAZIN' BAR MITZVAH offers a poignant and authentic portrayal of the Russian American experience in the 1980s while speaking to the universal challenges of growing up and finding one's place in the world. “Like Yasha's parents, my parents fought hard to achieve the ‘American Dream',” says Margaret. “However, in spite of attending night school for months to learn English, holding degrees from the Soviet Union equivalent to MA+ in the US, and achieving a level of employment in the United States that allowed them to save up to buy a house in the suburbs, to many, my parents' Russian accents were still their main identifying feature. As for me, while I did not have a Russian accent, it took a long time for people to stop seeing my differences—food, clothes, experiences—as anything besides being ‘other'. In time, like Yasha, I learned to embrace the reality of being a hyphenated American—someone who is Russian and Jewish and just as American as others." When author Margaret Gurevich set up to write YASHA'S AMAZIN' BAR MITZVAH  she was basing the story on her own experiences growing up during the end of the Cold War. Gureveich's latest novel is a touching and humorous story following the journey of a young Russian American boy as he navigates the challenges of adolescence, cultural identity, and the pursuit of his dreams.  Set in 1986, thirteen-year-old Yasha Reznik is struggling to adjust to his new life in the suburban town of Rockwood, New Jersey. Having moved from the close-knit Russian community of Brighton Beach, Yasha finds himself feeling out of place and yearning for the familiarity of his old neighborhood. His parents may see their move as the fulfillment of the "American Dream," but for Yasha, it feels like anything but. As Yasha prepares for his Bar Mitzvah, he faces the typical trials of adolescence, compounded by the cultural differences that set him apart from his peers. Despite his efforts to fit in, including adopting the name "Jake," he is still seen as an outsider. The only person who truly understands him is Bernie, a resident at the senior citizen home where Yasha volunteers for his Bar Mitzvah project. Bernie shares Yasha's passion for the New York Mets, and together they dream of seeing the team win the World Series. Determined to make this dream a reality, Yasha embarks on a quest to secure tickets to the game, all while grappling with his own identity and the complexities of friendship. ****If you would like to contact the show Dauna@betertopodcast.comFollow us on Social MediaYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCX0ETs2wpOHbCuhUNr0XFTw?view_as=subscriberInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/author_d.m.needom/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bettertopodcastwithdmneedomSupport the podcast here: https://www.patreon.com/bettertopodcastwithdmneedom©2Support the show

Poof that hair and swap around your vaguely ethnic family tropes as we serve up 1988's Mystic Pizza. Why must Hollywood erase the proud tradition of Greek American pizzerias? Is there a single bearable male character in this movie? And can we get more sister scenes in this sister movie? We hopefully have more answers for you in this episode than an emotionally confused teenager at the end of an angsty summer.
