Podcasts about Coming of age

RECALL: Act Two In February 1961, the boys of Miami Military Academy are still marching, joking, fighting, shaving, bleeding, stealing, and pretending the world outside the gates is someone else’s problem. But the world is already inside the school. It is in the news from Cuba. It is in the old munitions bunkers by the bay. It is in the secrets the adults keep, the wounds they drink through, and the wars they keep handing down to children. Written by Academy Award nominee Bruce Davison, and once optioned and held by the great Al Pacino, RECALL is a funny, savage, deeply human coming-of-age drama about abandoned boys, broken fathers, old soldiers, Cuban exiles, secret weapons, and the machinery that turns fear into patriotism. Act Two begins as Stephen Lishinsky tries to survive the strange education of “A” Company. His head has been butchered. His pride has been beaten. His idea of honor has already taken a few direct hits. When he tries to run, Commander Patterson finds him at the bus stop and gives him the kind of broken advice only a broken soldier can give: if you are in a storm, sometimes the only move is to sit tight and let the morning come. But morning at Miami Military Academy is never clean. Coombs is missing. The Razor Fiend is back. Bear is bleeding into the sink. Lindquist, the feral boy from the mango trees, is pulled into uniform and passed off as a cadet because, at this school, identity is just another piece of equipment someone misplaced. Sally Barnes drifts through the place like a lit match, furious at her father, suspicious of Patterson, and impossible for Lishinsky to ignore. Patterson tries to protect her, but the past between him, Colonel Barnes, and Sally’s mother is its own battlefield. Meanwhile, Slouch and Bebop stop pretending their war is imaginary. The key to Bunker 3 becomes guns, ammunition, and contraband dragged through the machinery of a school that is already falling apart. Patterson lectures boys on amphibious landings while the real invasion waits in the shadows. Bebop is pulled closer to the Cuban exile cause. Slouch, half romantic and half criminal, follows him into the Everglades, into blindfolds, pistols, secret rooms, and men who do not look like teachers. There is comedy everywhere because boys make comedy out of terror. There is coconut rum, marching songs, bad haircuts, chocolate cokes, contraband, dirty jokes, and the Dade County Fair waiting like a reward for good behavior nobody intends to have. But underneath the noise, the rifles are getting heavier. The lies are getting harder to carry. And the adults are running out of time. RECALL is about boyhood at the exact moment history stops being a lesson and starts becoming a weapon. It is about fathers who failed, sons who improvise, countries that ask for sacrifice before they explain the cost, and boys who are still laughing because they do not yet understand what the world is loading.

 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.

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.

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. Adrian has also worked on various educational initiatives, designing history, cultural studies and social sciences syllabi for high-school students, asylum-seekers, and refugees. --- This podcast is hosted by Bakhti Nishanov and produced by Alanna Novetsky and Carly Breland, in conjunction with the Senate Recording Studio.

Fluent Fiction - Danish: Whispers in the Woods: A Journey to True Connection Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/da/episode/2026-05-13-07-38-20-da Story 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.
