Richie is joined by Staurt Waiton. Stuart is an author, columnist and Senior Lecturer in Sociology and Criminology at Abertay University. He is well-known across the UK as a fierce defender of free speech. He is a regular writer for The Spectator and The Critic. On today's show, Stuart discusses the UK government's decision to ban under-16's from social media sites, societal rage - what's causing it? the attack on activist Young Bob in Manchester and Stuart's work with Justice For Innocent Men Scotland. As many as one thousand men may have been wrongfully convicted of sexual offences because judges ruled that potentially exculpatory evidence was inadmissible. https://www.jimsscotland.org/https://www.facebook.com/stuart.waiton/https://scottishunionforeducation.substack.com/about

The Herle Burly was created by Air Quotes Media with support from our presenting sponsor TELUS, as well as CN Rail, and Anthropic.Greetings, you curiouser and curiouser Herle Burly-ites! It's been a year of economic anxiety and trade upheaval in Canada with our largest trading partner applying tariffs, making threats, and taking a far more adversarial stance, in advance of the upcoming CUSMA negotiation.We're experiencing an economy with a very low growth rate, an affordability crisis, and industry disruption in steel, autos, and aluminum.I was particularly curious to get a fulsome and thoughtful Conservative take on the Carney approach, so we're joined by Adam Chambers, Conservative MP and Trade Critic, and Vice-Chair of the House Standing Committee on International Trade. Adam acknowledged the realities of dealing with a difficult American government, but that a deal that could advantage the Canadian economy might still be possible. We discuss his view that Canada's fiscal position is a reckless one that puts the country in long-term jeopardy, and much more.Thank you for joining us on #TheHerleBurly podcast.

Live, die, repeat. According to Decider's John Serba, “It's 2054, and human cloning is a thing now. Not a legal thing, mind you, and that's why icky politicians are doing the offshore-account thing and hauling their human-generating 3D printers into outer space to colonize other planets since—big shocker here—Earth is increasingly uninhabitable.” They say cats have nine lives, but Robert Pattinson has 18.

Hava Mendelle defies easy categorisation. Openly gay and proudly Jewish, she is a fifteen-year Australian Army veteran, emergency department nurse, published author, and co-founder of Minority Impact — a coalition of Australian minorities united in their opposition to Islamic radicalism and far-left extremism. She writes for The Spectator Australia, The Times of Israel, and The Jewish Independent, and has been making waves on social media for her unflinching commentary on antisemitism, the activist left, and the slow erosion of Australian national identity.In this conversation with Quillette's Zoe Sankey, Hava traces a remarkable personal journey — from an orthodox Jewish childhood and boarding school in Israel, to climate activism and Marxist study groups at university, to her current role as one of Australia's most clear-eyed critics of the movements she once moved in. They discuss the red-green alliance, the activists behind the Gaza flotilla, the radicalisation of the Australian Greens, why the United Nations deserves far more scepticism than it receives, and what October 7th changed — for Hava personally, and for Jewish Australians more broadly Learn more about your ad choices.

Critic of screens large and small, Wenlei Ma joins Philip Clark on Nightlife to review the latest to watch. 

A Sudanese man has been arrested in north Belfast following what can only be described as an attempted beheading — a horrific, graphic attack captured on video. Meanwhile, the BBC initially buried it beneath the headline: "Man taken to hospital with serious injuries after Belfast stabbing." Julia Hartley-Brewer is joined by Henry Hill, Political Editor of The Critic, who explains why journalists strip out the most critical details of violent crimes — and why the Public Order Act is being weaponised to protect hypothetical racists over real victims.Reform UK Deputy Leader Richard Tice joins live as the Belfast attacker's identity is confirmed on air. He pulls no punches: the public has a right to know the full history of this individual — now, not in two years' time after a court case. He also reacts to the bombshell Telegraph revelation that £28 billion in taxpayers' money was handed to terrorist groups including ISIS, hostile states such as Russia, and Chinese military-linked companies — through foreign aid and COVID relief loans — which was then actively covered up by the Conservative government.Lord Daniel Hannan, Director of the Institute of Economic Affairs, connects the dots: a bloated, unaccountable, ideologically captured state that selects in favour of dangerous migrants, funds our enemies abroad, and then buries the evidence. He also takes aim at Kemi Badenoch's pledge to scrap the public sector equality duty — welcome, he says, but the real rot runs far deeper than any single piece of legislation.Julia Hartley-Brewer broadcasts on Talk from Monday to Thursday, 10AM to 1PM. Available on YouTube and streaming platforms, along with DAB+ radio and your smart speaker. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Visiting Critic and Home of the Year expert Siobhán Lam went panning for gold in the Wicklow mountains.

This week, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz kick off the summer months with a new installment of the Critics at Large advice series. Listeners' questions run the gamut: a high-school economics teacher seeks films for his students which aren't set in the world of finance; a caller from Iran looks for cultural works to help endure periods of extreme uncertainty; and two friends on the cusp of college graduation ask for recommendations to guide them in their next chapter. “Art is not a thing separate from our troubles or from our awareness of the insane contingencies of life,” Cunningham says. “It's meant as a companion and a response to those. I think that's shining through in some of these questions.”Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“Sorry to Bother You” (2018)“My Architect: A Son's Journey” (2003)“Les dites cariatides” (1984)“Twenty Minutes in Manhattan,” by Michael SorkinThe photography of Eugène AtgetThe music of the Notorious B.I.G., Heavy D, Fat Joe, and Big Pun“Sentimental Education,” by Gustave FlaubertVáclav Havel's “Audience”“The Best of Everything,” by Rona Jaffe“How to Murder Your Life,” by Cat Marnell“Becoming a Centenarian,” by Calvin Tomkins (The New Yorker)“This Old Man,” by Roger Angell (The New Yorker)“Tabula Rasa,” by John McPhee (The New Yorker)“Kramer vs. Kramer” (1979)“Divorcing,” by Susan TaubesElena Ferrante's Neapolitan novels“Ghost World,” by Daniel Clowes“Frances Ha” (2012)“Asparagus” (1979)Roger Payne's “Songs of the Humpback Whale”“Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters and Seymour: An Introduction,” by J.

How is the tool of Artificial Intelligence shaping the writing of fiction? Is AI emerging as more than just a potentially handy aid to an author—and, ominously, more like an actual author? I discuss these ripe questions and others with the literary critic Mark McGurl, professor of English at Stanford. He is the author of The Program Era: Postwar Fiction and the Rise of Creative Writing (Harvard University Press, 2009) and Everything and Less: The Novel in the Age of Amazon (Verso, 2021). As our conversation shows, McGurl is a nuanced, reasoned voice on an emotive subject that all too readily lends itself to apocalyptic or pollyannaish pronouncements. Mark McGurl is a Professor of English at Stanford University. Veteran journalist Paul Starobin is a former Moscow bureau chief for Business Week and a former contributing editor of The Atlantic. His companion Substack newsletter, America and Beyond,” offers commentary and insights on the podcast.

You are joining us for another perennial favorite here on Time Sensitive. At the end of nearly every episode, we ask our guest hosts a simple question: What are you into? Even though this sounds like a sexual invitation (it mostly isn't), we ask our guests to focus on a movie, book, album, game, podcast, or pop culture subject they are currently enjoying. But no one ever asks Sam and Ian what they are into, so we have decided to devote a whole episode to our own pop culture proclivities.Check us out on...Twitter @TSMoviePodFacebook: Time SensitiveInstagram: @timesensitivepodcastGrab some Merch at TeePublicBig Heads Media

We see if this is purely nostalgia or if it becomes a timeless piece of extreme sports in the movies.Other topics include the skating movie genre of the era, adjacent Bond-like movies targeted to youth, the Corey Haim and Corey Feldman era, Stranger Things events, further streaming woes, and physical media featuring the Rambo steel book collection and Student Bodies VHS.Songs of the WeekThree Angels by CJ RamoneHey Moon by John MausRemainders Jukebox PlaylistWebsiteFacebookInstagramYouTubeTwitter

The anarchic comedian, writer and filmmaker Mel Brooks turns 100 years old this June. Across a career spanning more than seven decades, Brooks has turned cinematic satire into an art form, through razor-sharp spoofs like Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein and Spaceballs. But while these films are now acclaimed as all-time comedy classics, the broader genre of the spoof has often struggled for respectability. Not least Scary Movie - one of the most commercially successful film franchises of recent years, despite widespread critical panning. With Scary Movie 6 on the horizon, Ellen E Jones and Mark Kermode ask - what makes for a truly great movie spoof?Critic and Screenshot regular Anne Billson talks Ellen through a selection of spoofs, from classic Hollywood-era films from the Marx Brothers and Bob Hope, to the parody boom of the 2000s, including films like Date Movie and Epic Movie. Mark talks to David Zucker - one third of the filmmaking trio Zucker Abrahams Zucker -about the landmark disaster spoof Airplane!, and why he believes the recent attempt to revive the team's hit The Naked Gun series missed the mark. And Ellen speaks to Keenen Ivory Wayans, the creative force behind the Wayans entertainment dynasty, and the director of a string of spoofs, including I'm Gonna Git You Sucka and Scary Movie - about why he feels his films have been misunderstood. Producer: Jane Long A Prospect Street production for BBC Radio 4

The Parent Playbook: Navigating the "Sideline Culture" https://teachhoops.com/ In a 30-year coaching career, you learn that you aren't just coaching the 15 players on your roster; you are managing a 45-person ecosystem that includes parents, guardians, and extended "inner circles." Navigating parent behaviors is less about "conflict resolution" and more about Environmental Design. Most parent friction occurs in the Information Vacuum—the space between what you see in the gym every day and what the parent hopes for at the dinner table. To build a championship culture, you must be the Chief Transparency Officer, ensuring that the "Standard" is so clearly communicated that there is no room for a counter-narrative to grow. The greatest tool in your belt is the Mandatory Buffer. Emotions are highest in the 15 minutes following a tough loss. The Standard: No parent-coach communication regarding game strategy or playing time until 24 hours have passed. The Protocol: Require that all concerns be addressed via a scheduled meeting rather than a "sideline ambush." This moves the conversation from the emotional (the heat of the game) to the logical (the film and the data). As we often discuss in the world of analytics, "The numbers don't have feelings." When a parent challenges playing time, move the conversation away from "opinion" and toward Objective Efficiency. The "Truth Room" Metrics: If a player is struggling with their Effective Field Goal Percentage ($eFG%$) or has a high turnover rate in transition, show the data. The Probability of Success: Use the stats to explain the "Why." For example: "Our team's defensive rating improves by $12%$ when we have this specific rotation on the floor." It is very difficult to argue with a $95%$ confidence interval. Parent anxiety usually stems from a lack of Role Definition. If a player thinks they are a "Green Light" shooter but the coach sees them as a "Defensive Specialist," the parent is caught in the middle. The Solution: Conduct mid-season "Role Reviews." Give the player (and by extension, the parent) a clear list of the three things they must do to earn more minutes. The Transformation: You shift the parent from being a "Critic" of your decisions to being a "Partner" in their child's development. They now know exactly what "success" looks like in your system. You cannot coach a kid hard if you haven't made a deposit into their parent's Trust Account. The Strategy: Make it a point to send a "Positive Pulse" text or email to a parent when their child does something that doesn't show up in the box score—diving for a loose ball, cheering for a teammate, or showing "Next Play" speed after an error. The Impact: When you eventually have to have a "Hard Truth" conversation about playing time, the parent listens because they know you see the whole child, not just the stat line.

Send us a message.We open with a letter — Rilke's first letter to a young poet, written in 1903 — and the question at the center of it: must I write? Not do I want to, not is it going well, but must I. We talk about what it means to look outward for reassurance while making something, how that search for validation reshapes work before it's even finished, and what happens when you're writing toward an external voice instead of your own.That leads us into a broader conversation about photography as a practice of finding things rather than making them — and what that distinction reveals about why certain work holds and other work doesn't. We walk through what it means to stand in front of a print by Eggleston or Crewdson or Deana Lawson, what a body of work asks of the people presenting it, and what gets lost when criticism becomes a form of signaling rather than a genuine attempt to see. We end somewhere near solitude: the argument that if you've found the thing you need to do, everything else is secondary — and that's been true since at least 1903. -AiSupport the show If you enjoyed this episode, please consider giving us a rating and/or a review.

Yascha Mounk and David Bromwich discuss grade inflation, political conformity, and the crisis of trust in higher education. David Bromwich has taught literature at Yale University since 1988. His books include Hazlitt: the Mind of a Critic, The Intellectual Life of Edmund Burke, How Words Make Things Happen, and Politics by Other Means: Higher Education and Group Thinking. In this week's conversation, Yascha Mounk and David Bromwich discuss why Americans have lost faith in universities, how grade inflation and political conformity undermine academic credibility, and whether the opacity of elite admissions processes can be reformed.
