Podcast appearances and mentions of David Copperfield

What does it mean to experience time? Is it a linear journey from past to present, or is it a complex and intricate web of memories, feelings, and experiences?

The same author that gave us Ebenezer Scrooge and Oliver Twist also gifted readers with a kind, loyal, misfortunate, and somewhat naïve, David Copperfield. After reading this novel from the genre, bildungsroman (dealing with the protagonist maturing) we agree with the famous praise of Thackery, ‘Bravo Dickens'. Let's share a few quotes from these classic characters: “My meaning simply is, that whatever I have tried to do in life, I have tried with all my heart to do well; that whatever I have devoted myself to, I have devoted myself to completely; that in great aims and in small, I have always been thoroughly in earnest.” David Copperfield This quote echoes Ecclesiastes 9, “Whatever your hand finds to do, to it with all your might.” David did everything wholeheartedly. Even when he fell in love, David was ‘head over ears' in love with Dora and willing to ‘take his woodman's ax in hand and clear his way through the forest of difficulty' to become her husband. “Cheer up, keep a good heart and know your own value.” Mrs. Crupp We should never forget our value either, we were made in God's image. David struggled with this because he had an unsavory step-father who sent the downtrodden seven year old away from the only home he'd ever known. “We must meet reverses boldly, and not suffer them to frighten us, my dear. We must learn to act the play out. We must live misfortune down, Trot!” Aunt Betsy Trotwood ‘“I look back on my life, child,' said my aunt, ‘and I think of some who are in their graves, with whom I might have been on kinder terms…I have been a grumpy, frumpy, wayward sort of a woman, a good many years. But you and I have done one another some good, Trot-” Another jewel from Aunt Betsy What a worthwhile goal for us all as well, ‘Let us strive daily to do some good ❤️.' If you are looking for a classic that has stood the test of time by delivering endearing characters, dastardly dudes, and comical quips, David Copperfield has it all

‘Los niños en la Literatura', capítulo dedicado a la niñez y que hoy Patricia del Río nos ofrece una vasta gama de novelas donde los pequeños son los protagonistas y, sobre todo, el papel que juega la infancia en la sociedad a lo largo de la historia de la humanidad. El escritor inglés, Charles Dickens, es quizás quién más ha reflejado la problemática infantil en sus novelas ‘Oliver Twist', ‘David Copperfield' y ‘Grandes esperanzas', que son una muestra de la dureza con que eran tratados los niños y las niñas en la Inglaterra del siglo XVIII. También ‘El señor de las moscas', de William Golding; ‘Perú', de Gordon Lish; y ‘Anna', de Niccolò Ammaniti. La literatura peruana no es ajena a esta realidad; nuestro poeta mayor, César Vallejo, lo pone de manifiesto en ‘Paco Yunque', el niño víctima de bullyng; así como José María Arguedas en ‘Los ríos profundos' y Enrique Congrains en ‘El niño de junto al cielo. Hacemos referencia también a Alfredo Bryce Echenique, autor de ‘Un mundo para Julius', que también ha sido llevada al cine; a Mario Guibellini, en ‘La canción del capitán Garfio', y Juan Carlos Ortecho de ‘La fe de ayer'. En el séptimo arte, recomendamos las películas ‘Cinema paradiso' y ‘La vida es bella'. El invitado de la semana es el escritor Santiago Roncagliolo, quien en ‘El año que nació el demonio', nos remonta a la Lima virreinal del siglo XVII, ciudad enlodada por el crimen y la corrupción, con la disyuntiva de distinguir los caminos que separan el bien del mal. Las canciones alusivas son ‘Teach your children', Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young; ‘Canción para un niño en la calle', Diego El Cigala; ‘Santa Rosa', Daniel Drexler; ‘Se buscan valientes'; ‘Mi verdad', Maná & Shakira; ‘For children Vol. 1, Sz. 42: Nro 3 quasi adagio', Bela Bartok; ‘For children Vol. 1, Sz. 42: Nro 13 Ballade; For children Vol. 1, Sz. 42: Nro 19 Allegretto; Cinema paradiso', Ennio Morricone; y‘La pequeña', Miki Gonzales. Todo esto y mucho más en Letras en el tiempo, este domingo a las 19:00 h por RPP. Escúchanos también por rpp.pe y podcast del programa en las diversas plataformas.

Today on another encore episode of the Rarified Heir Podcast, we are talking to Sara Ballantine, daughter of comedian and magician Carl Ballentine. Or how some of you may know him: The Amazing Ballantine. Or maybe it's The World's Greatest Magician. Whatever the case, you might also remember Carl from his “magic act” or stints on McHale's Navy, episodes of The Monkees, films like Speedway with Elvis Presley or via master magician David Copperfield who is a massive fan of Carl Ballentine. We talk to Sara (or Saratoga – so named after the horse racing track her father liked to frequent) about her years with her dad and mother Ceil Cabot a New York actor who was every bit as wild and outrageous as her father – in the best says possible. Sara tells us about her growing up in Hollywood in the 1970s, her own voice over career in commercials and animated shows as well as stories about the famed Los Angeles venue, The Magic Castle, how her dad came up with the name Ballentine, his groundbreaking Las Vegas gig which purportedly was the first-ever magician to grace the stage on the Las Vegas Strip and much more. When both George Carlin and Steve Martin tell you how funny your dad was, you know just how funny Carl Ballentine was. Take a listen on this episode of the Rarified Heir Podcast. Everyone has a story.

Do the names David Blaine, David Copperfield, Harry Houdini or Reza (I had to be sure to include the Brookings, South Dakota native) mean anything to you? It's a pretty recognizable list, so I'm pretty sure you realized they were all illusionists. These men have done a variety of things, from dangerous escapes to making important landmarks disappear. They make things appear different than they really are in a way that makes you question what is real. Sometimes that happens in the Church as well. How do we avoid it? That's what we will talk about this weekend.

Demon befriends us on this, his journey through the modern perils of foster care, child labor, derelict schools, athletic success, addiction, disastrous loves, and crushing losses. Through all of it, he reckons with his own invisibility in a popular culture where even the superheroes have abandoned rural people in favor of cities. Inspired by the unflinching truth-telling of David Copperfield, Kingsolver enlists Dickens' anger and compassion, and above all, his faith in the transformative powers of a good story. Demon Copperhead gives voice to a new generation of lost boys, and all those born into beautiful, cursed places they can't imagine leaving behind.

For this bonus episode of The Shift, I'm delighted to welcome a very special guest: the award-winning author of ten bestselling novels, Barbara Kingsolver. Every so often, a book comes along that you want to press into the hands of everyone you meet. For me, Demon Copperhead, is one of those books. A reimagining of the Dickens classic, David Copperfield, translated to the Appalachian mountains in the midst of the opioid crisis that has gripped the area. It's funny, it's furious and its hero Demon is a character you will never ever forget. I'm not the only one who thinks so. Earlier this year Barbara was awarded a Pulitzer Prize and now she's become the first person ever to win the Women's Prize for Fiction twice (she won over a decade ago for her novel, The Lacuna).A couple of weeks ago, Barbara foolishly let me and my little mic into her Edinburgh hotel room to tell me how growing up weird, bookish and poor shaped her and how she discovered she was a so-called hillbilly. We also discussed being an introvert in an extrovert world, finding love second time around, not winning the jackpot in the mothering department and why life gets better with every decade – and at 68 and the top of her game, she's living proof.She also shares her killer packing tips and, I have to say, if you ever wanted to do a three week holiday with just a carry-on, Barbara is your woman!* You can buy all the books mentioned in this podcast at The Shift bookshop on Bookshop.org, including Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver and the book that inspired this podcast, The Shift: how I lost and found myself after 40 - and you can too, by me.* And if you'd like to support the work that goes into making this podcast and get a weekly newsletter plus loads more content including transcripts of the podcast, please consider joining The Shift community.

In front of an audience at the Hay Festival Tom Sutcliffe asks what Dickens would say about the world today. The prize-winning Barbara Kingsolver discusses her retelling of David Copperfield, in which her eponymous hero, Demon Copperfield, must struggle to survive amid rural poverty and America's opioid crisis. Michael Rosen has imagined his own modern Oliver Twist (An Unexpected Twist) and A Christmas Carol (Bah! Humbug!) and reflects on the unspoken grief and trauma of recent years, retold in his memoir, Getting Better. And while Natalie Haynes's favourite Dickens adaptation is The Muppet Christmas Carol, she explores how the telling and retelling of stories and ancient myths shines a light on our contemporary world. Her latest work, Stone Blind, looks again at the tragedy of Medusa. Producer: Katy Hickman

Barbara Kingsolver's book Demon Copperhead is a retelling of Charles Dickens' David Copperfield set in today's Appalachia. Martha shares memories of a long-ago visit to Kingsolver's family farm in Virginia, where they discussed many of the same issues covered in this Pulitzer-winning novel. Plus, the Carp River in Michigan had that name long before carp were introduced to the area. The reason involves the history of immigration. And a high-schooler asks how throwing someone under the bus became a synonym for betrayal.

“Soul” is a word that I've never really used, but it perfectly encapsulates what has made David Copperfield the most successful magician of all time.  He has filled global audiences with awe for over 40 years.  He made the Statue of Liberty disappear, escaped from Alcatraz, and walked through the Great Wall of China.  And it turns out, the key to great magic is also the key to any great work: a visceral, emotional connection between the act and the performer.  You have to find and honor the soul of the idea.  This is…A Bit of Optimism. For more on David and his work check out: https://www.davidcopperfield.com/html/

What's up, dudes?  I pity the fool who misses this episode all about the toughest man in the world! Yes, Bradley Lyndon from Million Monkey Theater joins me to talk all about the team up between Mr. T and Emmanuel Lewis in this wacky 1984 special!  Mr. T stars as Benny, a Salvation Army-style Santa  who meets a young latch-key kid, played by Emmanuel Lewis of TV's Webster, who seems to have lost his Christmas spirit. Mr. T sets out to change Billy's mind, taking him around the city to all the touristy must see spots! First up is FAO Schwartz, where    David Copperfield gives him an ‘80s cigarette smoke filled magic lesson. There's even an Olympic figure skater routine at Rockefeller Center! The duo then proceed to Radio City Music Hall, where Maureen McGovern serenades them with Christmas songs. In typical kid fashion, Webster falls asleep watching a rehearsal and consequently imagines himself as one of the toy soldiers in the Rockettes' Christmas Show. Oh yeah, he also meets Willie Tyler and his dummy Lester. Naturally, in the big holiday  finale, he's moved to realize the true meaning of Christmas, before being reunited with his workaholic parents.This one's got it all! ‘80s icons? Check. Former variety show stars? Yup. The true meaning of Christmas? As only Mr. T could tell it! So grab your gold chains, pack your trick quarter and cigarettes, and take an incredibly expensive carriage ride to this episode!Million Monkey TheaterFB: @MillionMonkeyTheaterIG: @millionmonkeytheaterCheck us out on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Totally Rad Christmas Mall & Arcade, Teepublic.com, or TotallyRadChristmas.com!

Move over David Copperfield, because in this episode, Ellie and Chris get their Houdini on as they discuss John Gottman's discovery of the 5 to 1 magic ratio in relationships. Apparently, if you have five positive interactions for every one negative interaction, your team may be more succesful. They talk about a study that looked at 60 different teams and found that positive interactions were key to team success. So, whether you're trying to keep the love alive or get that promotion, remember: abracadabra, 5 to 1 and you're done!They also discuss: What is your “Trust fund”?  How do you make deposits and withdrawals in your “Trust fund”. The two most used words in thriving relationships. More info about the study: https://www.gottman.com/blog/the-magic-relationship-ratio-according-science/

 Lisa discusses Demon Copperhead,  by Barbara Kingsolver, which is very popular and is a similar book to Charles Dickens's  David Copperfield. A number of reviews, including The Washington Post have said this was the best book of 2022. The New York Times says this book is a close retelling of David Copperfield and there aren't a lot of major plot differences between the two books.  This article states that you can read Demon Copperhead without reading David Copperfield.  Kelly on Goodreads says the book is stereotypical, painting people from Appalachia poorly. Books Discussed on the Show:  Betty by Tiffany McDaniel Dopesick: Dealers, Doctors, and the Drug Company That Addicted America by Beth MacyFor more information, find Lisa on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and her website. *The book titles mentioned include affiliate links.

Titular is an adjective that means related to a title.  The Latin word titulus (TEA too loose) means name, and was morphed into the word title in late 16th century. Our word of the day is an adjective that came around soon after. Here's an example of titular in use: I love the Charles Dickens novel David Copperfield, but found the titular character kind of boring. You'd think if someone's name was used as a title of a book, they'd be more dynamic and charismatic.

Going out to dinner with Juan Tamariz in Madrid is a little like accompanying a cartoon character on a journey to the real world. As Shuja Haider, the author of today's Sunday Read, walked with him on side streets off the city center's main drag, the Calle Gran Vía, heads turned left and right.Mr. Tamariz, 80, has been a professional magician for 52 years, and in that time, he has managed the singular feat of becoming both a household name in his home country and a living legend in magic everywhere. David Blaine has called him “the greatest and most influential card magician alive.” But in Spain, Mr. Tamariz is an icon, less like Mr. Blaine or David Copperfield and more like Kermit the Frog.In the United States, the most visible performers of magic in the late 20th century were stage illusionists who worked with big boxes and flashing lights. But Mr. Tamariz appears on stage and screen armed with little more than his two hands. He introduced Spanish viewers to the style of magic called “close-up,” done with ordinary objects, in near-enough proximity for a conversation and incorporating the participation of spectators.This story was recorded by Audm.
