Podcast appearances and mentions of Daniel Read

In this episode Miles is joined by Robert Cremins (University of Houston, Texas) and Daniel Read (Kingston University) to celebrate the anniversary of Murdoch's Whitbread Award-winning novel from 1974. They cover the culture of the 1970s, trauma, childhood, cruelty, black humour, love triangles, links to other writers, links to other novels by Murdoch and much more. Robert is a writer and Senior Lecturer in the Honours College at the University of Houston, and the Faculty Director of Creative Works. A novelist, short story writer and literary critic, Robert has got a lifelong love of Murdoch's fiction. He is currently working on next year's North American special edition of the Iris Murdoch Review which will be published in the Autumn of 2025. Daniel Read lectures at the University of Kingston and his monograph, Degrees of Evil in Iris Murdoch's Fiction and Philosophy, is due from Palgrave MacMillan in early 2025.

"Don't judge a book by its cover" is an old adage for a good reason. Elegant book cover designs can create a positive impression and make you more likely to judge the writing quality more positively. But these traits—cover art and writing—are separate and distinct features of books. So why do we allow the judgment of one trait to spill over to another unrelated trait? In this episode of Choiceology with Katy Milkman, we look at a tendency to allow our judgments of one trait of a person (or product or company) to overly influence our judgments of another, unrelated trait of that same person or product or company. The Traitors is a popular reality TV show, where contestants are assigned either the role of a "Faithful" or "Traitor." Those selected as Traitors eliminate Faithfuls each night and try to keep their identity a secret so the Faithfuls don't vote to eliminate them. By the end of the game, over $100,000 is up for grabs for those left standing. But how can the Faithfuls sniff out the Traitors and decide whom to banish? How do people form judgments of others and decide whom to trust? Wilfred Webster was a contestant on The Traitors, Season 1, on the BBC and played the game brilliantly, leveraging the way he appeared to other contestants to make it to the end. Wilfred Webster is the runner up to The Traitors, Season 1, on the BBC. Before The Traitors, Will managed face-to-face fundraising for one of the largest charities in the U.K. Today, he's a content creator and fundraising consultant. Next, Katy speaks with Daniel Read about his research on how our evaluations of a person or product or company on a single trait can spill over and excessively influence our judgments of that same person or product or company on another, separate trait.

In this special edition of the podcast Miles is joined by Dan Read (Kingston) to answer questions sent in by listeners. These are: Is it possible to say where Murdoch stands in relation to other ‘great' writers? Is she on a par with Dickens, Shakespeare (or others) for example? In A Fairly Honourable Defeat Murdoch assigns astrological birth signs on several of the characters, and they discuss the subject somewhat knowledgeably. Does she give evidence of interest in the subject in other works? Do we know if de Beauvoir read Murdoch? Does she mention Murdoch anywhere in her writings? Did any other existentialists reply to Murdoch's criticisms of their views? To what extent are changing ways of reading Murdoch novels mere fashion, and how much do they have to do with what someone might refer to as “academic work”? Iris seemed to say that philosophy and fiction were totally separate things. Is this borne out in her work or not? I'd like to know more about which of her contemporaries she admired most as a reader. (And the writers she hated reading!) Did Kierkegaard influence Murdoch's writing and thinking? What do you think is the most underrated work by Iris? Daniel Read lectures at the University of Kingston (UK). His monograph, Degrees of Evil in Iris Murdoch's Fiction and Philosophy, is due from Palgrave MacMillan later this year.

Tom McKenna is once again joined by Daniel Read, Partner and Head of Employment Jersey at Walkers, and David Postlethwaite, ESG Associate Director at KPMG. They discuss the value derived from positive connections between the business, its employees and the wider business community.Episode two is titled ‘How Does Social Capital Contribute to Business Value?'. As the value derived from positive connections between the business, its employees and the wider business community is increasingly being measured, scrutinised and reported on, we discussed its overall contribution to the ‘S' in ‘ESG'. 

Our two-part podcast miniseries on ‘ESG and Employees' was hosted by our Sustainable Finance Lead, Tom McKenna. He was joined by Daniel Read, Partner and Head of Employment Jersey at Walkers, and David Postlethwaite, ESG Associate Director at KPMG.Episode one, titled ‘ESG and Staff Retention and Attraction', focussed on how firms are seeking ways to stay competitive to retain and attract top quality people, despite facing challenges including talent shortages, skills gaps and changing workforce demographics.

Daniel Read teaches and researches at the University of Kingston, UK. He is an editor of the Iris Murdoch Review and his first monograph, The Problem of Evil in the Fiction and Philosophy of Iris Murdoch is due to be published by Palgrave Macmillan in the 'Iris Murdoch Today' series in 2024.

What We Cover In This Episode: More on an exciting upcoming feature that facilitates internal interactions [3:06] How it will allow you to invite others through the app via chat instead of external text message [4:49] The way that the chat feature evolved [5:38] What to be aware of with the social and privacy settings from the student perspective [10:53] The admin-facing features that will give you the ability to disable or define the people in your chats [12:42] Group chat features and benefits [14:47]   Quotes: “The main use was getting to improve community features [so] that clients can talk to each other. We also get to improve the instructor/client communication, and now [chat] is this admin tool as well for the internal staff.” Nick [4:38] “With inviting people, you don't have to send them a text anymore. Now when you hit the invite button, what we've done is we've made it so it'll actually pop up and ask you who you want to message internally in the fitDEGREE app, and as it sends them the invite, it'll also start a chat. So, you can talk to the person about it or send it to a group of people at once.” [Dan, 4:51]    “One of our big things is we wanted to make it feel like it was a modern chat app, not like just a tack-on to an app that would feel like a lesser experience.” [Dan, 6:17] “It is more than just messaging, it is fitDEGREE messaging. It is the things that matter to us, like sharing a class, and it previews your friends that are already going. That's all unique stuff that we had to build, obviously from the ground up, but people don't think about it.” [Nick, 9:59] “I think it has just such great potential, because I know a lot of studios run accountability groups and or series sessions, where [customers] have to download WhatsApp, or they all have to go to Telegram or whatever other random app, and now it just lives in fitDEGREE.” [Megan [17:07]   LINKS:   Prologue 2: The Story of fitDEGREE: Dan Read's Version fitDEGREE's Business Portal https://calendly.com/fitdegree/support  support@fitDEGREE.com https://www.instagram.com/fitdegree/ ​​https://www.instagram.com/fitspot_guru/  https://www.instagram.com/whycoachingandconsulting/  https://www.fitdegree.com/blog  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChJ5rK6zWPXjbxtUQx3ys9Q

We welcome Tucker Biddlecombe with the debut of Music In The Listening Place, a collection of choral works performed by the Vanderbilt University Chorale and conducted by Biddlecombe. Biddlecombe demonstrates masterful programming in his ability to curate a modern listening experience based on mostly classical texts. Of particular note is Three Songs of Faith, an elegant collection of settings of e.e. cummings texts by Eric Whitacre. In a similar vein are the delicate Trois Chansons of Maurice Ravel. A particular gem is Three Settings of Ezra Pound, composed by PARMA artist Michael Slayton. Eliza Gilkyson’s “Requiem” is unlike any other. Sweet and nostalgic, this hymn for the departed draws innocence from the youthful voices of the Chorale. Another highlight is David Dickau’s exquisite setting of If Music Be the Food of Love, through which the Chorale expresses remarkable balance and dynamic facility. Also included on the album are several text settings by composer Jonathan Dove; an arrangement of the traditional Indodana, as well as settings by Alf Houkum, Daniel Read, and James Mulholland. Truly, Biddlecombe captures the joy and sophistication of all things choral with this enchanting recording.

George Steiner commented in Existentialists and Mystics that Iris Murdoch's writings present ‘[l]uminous shades of Blake's “holiness of the minute particular”'. This lecture explores some of the ways in which Murdoch engages with this oft-maligned Romantic visionary, whose works are referenced in her fiction, her letters and her philosophy. Blake and Murdoch share a dialectical moral vision that suggests the necessity for revolutionary violence, seeks an acknowledgement of evil, and invites the individual to attend to the world around them. Dr Daniel Read completed his doctoral studies at Kingston University. This lecture was given at the University of Chichester in February, 2018.

Core Insights host Trevor Barnes talks to Daniel Read, Professor of Behavioural Science, about his research into intertemporal choices, which looks at why, even though we are on a diet, we choose to eat a cream bun now, rather than wait for our lunchtime salad. Or why in repeated experiments people would prefer £10 now rather than £15 in two weeks. These are intertemporal trade-offs and despite economics teaching us we should weigh up the options, calculating the benefits between the two points in time and choosing the most beneficial, we don't always do this in a way that is best for us, or for society. You can see it playing out at every climate change conference, where hard choices to curb emissions are put off for another day. Professor Read also reveals research on a way to make us more patient and take the better, but further away, option - by simply adding a zero. Read more on this here.

Downing Street is trying to shift the conversation on to reviving the economy, but the debate remains around the return to school. Lloyd Russell-Moyle, Labour MP for Brighton Kemptown, tells Bloomberg Westminster's Roger Hearing and Sebastian Salek how much he thinks should be up to the government, rather than schools themselves. Plus, are face masks making people too relaxed about social distancing? Daniel Read, professor of behavioural science at Warwick Business School, joins to discuss.

This is a song based on a buddhist text, and a christian church style song. Great to see the mixing of traditions. Lyrics: Through birth and rebirth's endless round, I ran and sought but never found Who framed and built this house of clay what misery rebirth always O builder you at last I see Ne'er shall you build again for me Your rafters all are broken now, Demolished the ridge lies low And when the builder I can see; Then this my last abode shall be: Desire will end, all lust will cease, And with their end my heart have peace. Music by Daniel Read, Translations by Charles Lanman and Paul Carus,

These are some confusing chapters, and they bring to mind Revelation, which has some obvious similarities (obvious = confusing, sounding a little crazy, etc.). I want to step back and take this at a really high level, at least in this first read-through. What we are seeing is God in communication with Daniel through visions and dreams, as we later see God doing with John in Revelation. So many people have ventured to try to understand this stuff, and there is just so much symbolism and so much imagery and so many dates and details that it actually makes it very difficult to fully nail down the exact events being discussed. But it also points out something to me - that we are just not equipped as humans to fully understand what God is up to in this world. What if part of the purpose of these messages from God is simply to help us to grasp the scale on which God is working? In fact, I would argue that this is precisely ONE of the purposes. Today, I am going to keep it simple, as I tend to try to do when I get deep into the weeds. First, I am going to go ahead and pause and go through my time of prayer. Doing that now. So, my prayer today is simply that God would show up for me, and give me clarity around his calling for me life. I pray that God would help me to understand my purpose; that God would help my faith develop to deeper and deeper levels as he did with Daniel, and that I would have to courage to continue to step into that faith as Daniel did.

In the last reading, I covered Daniel 1-4, and today I have gone through chapters 5-7. Today we see a story about Belshazzar's pride in chapter 5, Daniel's famous story about the lion's den in chapter 6, and a story about Daniel's own dream and vision in chapter 7. So, we have seen laid out in front of us 3 big ideas now. In chapters 1, 3, and 6, we see stories about the faithfulness of Daniel and his friends, across a few extraordinary situations. In chapters 4 and 5, we see the reason for all of the chaos in this book is related to human pride, specifically these two kings Nebuchadnezzar and Belshazzar. And we then see encouragement that God's people should be patient, and faithful, and should be in a sort of mode of ‘waiting' and ‘longing' in chapters 2 and 7, as we see the interpretation of Nebuchadnezzar's dream and Daniel's dream. As we flip to the last few chapters, the question we start looking to have answered is simply, “When?”. When will we see these rescue that is promised? The thing that strikes me this morning, which is not nearly as complex or deep of a thought as this material could provoke, is Daniel's journey. As I read this, I am thinking about how Daniel's first actions was a small step of faithfulness (compared to later steps), to refuse to eat food that he felt compelled to resist because of his relationship with God. It was his battle. In doing that, he discipled three guys (Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego), and he brought them on his journey of faithfulness. Then Daniel is tested again, this time alone in the story of the lion's den, and proves a faithful servant of God. All along the way, we see him interpreting visions and dreams that are more and more complex. Eventually, he finds himself communicating with the angel Gabriel, and even God. The reason I find this encouraging to me is that it demonstrates how our spiritual maturity takes us to a deeper level of understanding over time. It leads us to a place of more intimate relationship with God. It reminds me that the world isn't really completely visible or understandable to me...God has to bring me to a place of understanding over time, and as I develop. It reminds me that there is a reward for faithfulness here in this life; that is understanding. I also have to imagine that with that understanding comes a love and respect that is also deeper...for God, for life, for those around me. Daniel is showing me that there really is a lifelong journey of spiritual development for me. What a great reminder for this morning.

Today is the first half of my full read through on the book of Daniel. It is long enough and I'm breaking it up into two sections. Today I listened while following along in my Bible to chapters 1 through 4. I actually do this a lot, I will listen and follow along because it engages me in a different way than simply reading. Three things really stood out to me this morning. The first is in chapter 1, and it's how strongly Daniel follows his lead from God to resist eating food that he was being given. I don't think the point of the passage is to inform us about food to eat. I think what's important is that Daniel had a personal relationship with God and clearly felt led to conduct his life in a certain way. Daniel followed that personalized directive from God. This reminds me that our spiritual journey is personal, and it looks different for each of us. For me, the most obvious example of that is the global mission field. I don't believe we ALL are called to go travel the world on mission. For some of us, our mission field is here. For some, our mission field may be one other person. Each of us has a unique journey, and it is incumbent upon us to seek out God's unique plan for our own life, and then to pursue it. The second thing that really jumped out at me was Daniels humility in chapter 2, in verses 27 and 28 when he clearly credits God as it relates to his ability to see and interpret visions for the king. How many times I've been credited with success and not given the glory to God? How many times has God been largely responsible for that success? The answer to both of those questions is approaching 100% unfortunately. Shame on me. And third, King Nebuchadnezzar really is a lot more like me than any other character in this reading this morning. He is changed by an interaction with God, he has a momentary perspective, and then he snapped back into his sinful self. That's my journey; I feel like the best I can manage sometimes is two steps forward and one step back. Today, I will be praying that God would instill a little more of Daniel in me, and a little less of Nebuchadnezzar.

Daniel leads us through a guided meditation for the 1st week of Lent. Due to some last minute changes we ended up using the lectionary text for the second week of Lent rather than the 1st. Stay tuned for next week as we will come back to the original lectionary text for the 1st week of Lent.

Have you ever wondered what your life would be like if you lived on a boat? What about if you spent your life working toward that most idealistic goal of all: World Peace? We all dream about our a better world, but working for community groups or NGOs is often a life of very little pay and even less payoff. So why would someone with experience and opportunities continue to do it for years?In this episode, we bring you Caspar's conversation with activist-interpreter Daniel Read. Dan lives in Japan, but travels the world working as an interpreter for a non-governmental organisation called Peace Boat - a cruise ship that blends education, tourism and activism together as a vehicle for change. As a founding member of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons, Peace Boat's work has, among other things, contributed toward the receipt of the Nobel Peace Prize. Dan and Caspar discuss his work as an interpreter in international dialogue and his passion for educating people about differences in the world. Dan also shares his struggle with NGO work and the challenge in affecting real change on complex issues.This episode was produced and edited by Nina Roxburgh and features music by Big Gigantic.
