Podcasts about Davies

With special guest: Dr Will Davies… in conversation with Bill Kable Will Davies has been on the program before, bringing us inside stories from The Great War. Today we get to discuss Will’s new book Secret and Special. We hear about a boys’ own adventure story that started at a beautiful part of Sydney and which took our adventurers on a dangerous trip to Singapore harbour. They were on a night mission to put limpet mines on some ships in port. The unsuspecting Japanese occupiers of Singapore never knew what hit them. The difference from most adventure stories is that this is all true and draws on the meticulous research of Dr Davies that we have come to expect. Podcast (mp3)

David chats with Tara Davies, Co-Head of European Infrastructure and Co-Head of EMEA at KKR, one of the world's most influential alternative investment firms. Tara's career spans two decades at the top of global infrastructure investing, from Macquarie in the formative years of privatisations to now helping lead KKR through one of the largest capital deployment cycles in history. For investors watching the rapid rise of private markets, particularly those curious about how KKR thinks about risk, returns, leverage, vintages, AI-driven infrastructure, and liquidity in evergreen structures, this is a rare opportunity to hear it directly from someone charged with allocating tens of billions globally. Tara brings depth of cycle-tested judgment and unpacks how KKR underwrites downside, protects capital, and finds differentiated returns across energy transition, digital infrastructure, and private credit–linked opportunities. Listen to hear about: * How KKR defines “true infrastructure” — and where the market is mispricing risk * Why AI is turbo-charging transmission, renewables, and data-center build-out globally * The move from closed-end drawdown funds to evergreen vehicles designed for private clients * The role of vintage-year diversification as the stealth driver of long-term returns * How to think about debt discipline in an era where leverage is the thing that kills good assets This is a masterclass in private markets from one of the most senior women in global investing, and a rare transparent look “inside the room” at KKR's worldview on infrastructure as an asset class for wealth preservation and compounding.

In this week's episode, we break down all the fallout from the Bristol match, asking whether Davies is now under real pressure after another tough result.

Asmodeus is more than the “demon of lust.” In this episode, I trace his journey from the Avestan aēšma in Zoroastrian texts to Ashmedai in Jewish literature, through the Book of Tobit and the Babylonian Talmud, into Islamic narratives of Solomon's throne, and on to Christian demonology, Renaissance grimoires, Enlightenment satire, and modern occult reinterpretations. Rather than a single biography, Asmodeus emerges as a cultural palimpsest that different communities used to think about desire, power, and knowledge. We examine philology, theology, ritual technologies, and iconography to ask what this demon reveals about changing ideas of evil and the management of sexuality. If you value evidence-based scholarship on magic and esotericism, this one is for you.CONNECT & SUPPORT

In the coming weeks we have some terrific conversations that are both fun and inspiring. They are going to include thought provoking futurists, AI technology mavens, retailers, international hotel design executives as well as designers and architects of brand experience places.We talk with authors and people focused on wellness and sustainable design practices as well as neuroscientists who will continue to help us look at the built environment and the connections between our mind-body and the built world around us.We'll also have guests who are creative marketing masters from international brands and people who have started and grown some of the companies that are striking a new path for us follow.The NXTLVL Experience Design podcast is grateful for the support of VMSD magazine.VMSD brings us, in the brand experience world, the International Retail Design Conference. The IRDC is one of the best retail design conferences that there is bringing together the world of retailers, brands and experience place makers every year for two days of engaging conversations and pushing us to keep on talking about what makes retailing relevant. You will find the archive of the NXTLVL Experience Design podcast on VMSD.com.Thanks also goes to Shop Association the only global retail trade association dedicated to elevating the in-store experience.SHOP Association represents companies and affiliates from 25 countries and brings value to their members through research, networking, education, events and awards. Check then out on SHOPAssociation.org Today, EPISODE 81… I talk with Christian Davies. We actually recorded this discussion months ago and Christian wondered if publishing it now was still relevant.I assured him it was, since Christian tends to unearth issues that are future forward - things to be mindful about should we want to address the issues we all face as individuals or societies or as architects and designers making places and things as we serve as our clients creative sherpa guides bringing ideas into the built world. Now… Christian has been sitting atop the heap of 80 conversations as the most listened to episode since we recorded our first talk a couple years ago. So, I thought, well why not do Christian Davies 2.0?Christian does not disappoint - never has – over a couple of decades, Christian has consistently drawn audiences and colleagues into conversation, sometimes challenging, and always brilliant and things that drive design thinking. His matter-of-fact English attitude to the world of design is sometimes a ‘no holds barred' reality check that makes you think twice about the truths you have held dear. His drive towards excellence is irrepressible. That makes him, some may say, demanding because I think he expects that we all give a damn about what we are brining into the world. And why not? We all share space on this little blue dot and, we had better get it, and soon, that we are part of a vast ecosystem of interdependencies.We cover a lot of ground in this open-ended conversation – I'd not expect less from Christian - And here is a few thoughts on subject areas we touch on…1. Entropy:Entropy is a scientific measure of disorder, randomness.Astrophysicist and other cosmologists have postulated that our universe is continuing to expand to a maximum state of entropy from a moment in time, the beginning of the Universe that they have called The Big Bang.There's lots of great content that you can certainly dig up on what happens when the universe finally expands to maximum entropy and all particles are spread out evenly within the unimaginably large space of the universe. It's suggested that of course this maximun expansion will take something like 10 to the 36 or 37 power years in other words trillions and trillions of years. A very very long time….But for now, the way I try to think of it is things will expand and eventually slow down as they all spread out to be evenly distributed throughout the universe… seems reasonable…It's kind of like imagining the initial moments after a massive explosion. Things spread out pretty quickly from the epicenter of the explosion and as they're flung far and wide, particles eventually slow and if you think of it in terms of entropy they all reach maximum randomness.I kind of think that right now, today, considering that the scientists think that the universe has only been around for 14 1/2 billion years or so, that we're kind of right at that very beginning stage of the explosion and things are moving faster and faster away from the epicenter of The Big Bang. This is interesting if you think that the universe will continue to be expanding for a few trillion years so right now yeah, we're kind of sort of in the one second after the explosion time frame. Anyway I am not an astrophysicist and some of these enormous ideas still leave me scratching my head…If we look at today, and everything around us, it certainly seems that things are speeding up and becoming more distributed, more random.I know I've talked about the whole idea of the pace of change in a number of episodes but I find this really interesting because, as I discussed with Christian, it's really hard to design into a future state when you consider that the sands beneath your feet are always shifting.How do we know which step is the right one? How do you know when we step on solid ground or drop forever into a bottomless void…I think the challenge here for designers is that, at least for a time, we need to have a sense of stability and order. The challenge is, I think, is that we're moving to an increasing rate of change where stability and order might be elusive to say the least.2. Moments of human connection make experiences great:I think as we speed along and never ending sea of change perhaps one of the things that we can hang on to, a stake in the ground if you will, will continue to be our ability to maintain our relationships.Change has a funny way of, well… changing people. And, one of our jobs will be to keep up with changing expectations of brands and their customers. One thing is sure, as we scream along this ever changing path, relationships will remain as one of the fundamental qualities of great experiences. Both brand experience architecture and the means with which we engage with brands will change to meet evolving expecations but, my expectation, (or maybe it's just my hope) is that humans still stay at the center of it all - Since at least for this short little time that humans have been in existence, we have relied on the empathic connection between individuals to help create meaning and connection to the world around us as well as the things well as the things we simply buy.And I, like Christian, believe that in the end, when you look at successful projects in our long design careers, the good ones, I mean the really good ones, we're not just because we received a great brief with an inspired client who had a vision of changing up the world,but that the teams we were connected to both on the consultant and client sides were also great. There was something that clicked. There was a gel in communication, respect and collaboration that drove these projects forward.Some may have heard me say before projects will come and go but the relationships are really what make the work great. I'd rather lose a project than trash the relationships…3. Three things that facilitate success stories in the world of retail place-making:So, if you're going to look at success stories over a career full of projects, when you look back at what really made them great was, of course that they were successful from a financial point of view, that they drove increase customers and deeper brand relationships and better revenues all those things are important indicators of success but that there are things that are required to make all of that happen. One would be that there's a big idea someone at the helm of a brand or business that has a thought about doing something different breaking out of a traditional way of bringing goods or services to market, of serving a customer in a different way and technology is often being a facilitator of that.There was coffee long before Starbucks. There was getting from A to B lby horse, camel, richshaw, long before Uber. There were places to stay along the Silk Road before Airbnb. And if you had a shaman in your village you could likely find out where you ame from and where your future was going to be long before there were anything like 23&Me or ancestry.com. In some ways the goods or services have not really changed. How we get them in the hands of customers has changed and that has often been facilitated with new technologies.4. AI – as a new tool for ideation and the ‘why' behind design:One of those technological advances of course that everybody is talking about these days is artificial intelligence.AI it's both causing a lot of excitement about what it sees has to offer in the short term, becoming a new tool in the architect and designers toolbox for ideation as well as causing a lot of concern about what happens to humankind when we finally get to general AI or super artificial intelligence.I am both excited and increasingly aware of influences that it will have on the job market, delivery of goods and services and other parts of the ecosystem like education and manufacturing etcetera etcetera.But if we just for a moment set some of the anxieties aside and simply look at as a tool for imagination and engagement with clients fostering the collaborative process of ideation, it has extraordinary potential to change the game of how we designers and architects work with our clients and create ideas about bringing their goods and services to market.There's a lot of opportunity and uncertainty about what happens when you turbocharge the creative process with AI tools.In the end though, at least for now, the question remains - is that there is a human at the helm of prompt curation?The output is only as good as the input that I'm able to suggest as a prompt. If not… garbage in – garbage out.This of course is interesting because it puts the initial burden still on people to be able to articulate their vision in language and use AI tools to refine the visualizations and other content that emerges from using them.As we use these tools they make things faster but I also sometimes wonder about whether they simply make us lazy and remove our thinking from the process.So Christian does talk about the idea of the drawings or images being very compelling but also needing to ask, and answer, the question of ‘why this particular approach or output is relevant and connected to the brand or customer that we're trying to serve?In the end it's not about the ‘what' of things that make solutions to design challenges great but more and more about the ‘why' you're doing certain things.It's about the process by which you got to the solution rather than simply the solution itself.Don't get me wrong the solutions to the challenges are sometimes very satisfying but what I'm ultimately interested in is the thinking process that led you to along this pathway… it's the journey not just the destination that's important in the creative process….And I think it's ever more important to our clients in the design world that they're looking for people who are not just production oriented but who are also focused on guiding them through an uncertain future5. B-Corporations:And this in a way leads us to the part of our my discussion with Christian about how his company Bergmeyer has recently become a B-Corp.A B-Corporation is a for profit company, but it is certified by the non-profit  B Lab Global and the whole idea is that it seeks to meet high standards for social and environmental performance and accountability and even more so transparency in the ways that they are doing business in support of being good stewards of our environment.In the changing sands that we're all standing on, as entropy increases and uncertainty continues to unfold in front of us, there is certainty that our planet is also in peril as climate change continues to wreak havoc on environmental systems. These B-corporations are seen as a force for good who work to balance profit with a commitment to both people and our planet. What differentiates them from other traditional companies is that they prioritize the social and environmental impacts of their business while at the same time not discounting the fact that they still are in business - that they are accountable to stakeholders as well as shareholders.The stakeholders can be considered as all of us because as companies continue to pull resources out of the ground and push the byproducts of industrialization into landfills and oceans all of our lives are at stake.All right then that's a not so brief summary of some of the ideas that Christian and I riff on in our conversation…Let's dig into some of the details…ABOUT DAVID KEPRON:LinkedIn Profile: linkedin.com/in/david-kepron-9a1582bWebsites: https://www.davidkepron.com    (personal website)vmsd.com/taxonomy/term/8645  (Blog)Email: david.kepron@NXTLVLexperiencedesign.comTwitter: DavidKepronPersonal Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davidkepron/NXTLVL Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nxtlvl_experience_design/Bio:David Kepron is a multifaceted creative professional with a deep curiosity to understand ‘why', ‘what's now' and ‘what's next'.

Alex Forsyth presents political debate and discussion from All Saints Weston Church Esher

It seems we've always had monsters among us. We've long been enthralled by dragons and and giants, by the likes of Frankenstein and Godzilla and Dracula, by witches and werewolves and countless others. They roam our maps and creation myths; they crop up in our dreams, in our children's books, in our political rhetoric. Where do these beings spring from? What do they do for us? How have they changed over time? And, ultimately, what do our monsters say about their makers? My guests today are Dr. Natalie Lawrence and Dr. Surekha Davies. Both are historians of science and authors of recent books on monsters: Natalie's book is Enchanted creatures: Our monsters and their meanings. Surekha's book is Humans: A monstrous history. Here, Surekha, Natalie, and I talk about monsters as category breakers and boundary walkers—and about how monstrosity is in the eye of the beholder. We walk through a menagerie of monsters—from the apocryphal blemmyes of old travelogues, to a hairy-faced girl in 16th century France, to the figure of Caliban in The Tempest. We discuss the psychological and cultural forces that generate monsters. And we talk about whether anyone would want to live in a world without them. Along the way we touch on, the "monstrification" of social groups; psychoanalysis; our primal fear of snakes; curiosity cabinets; therianthropes and the Cave of the Three Brothers; the relationship between the monstrosity and geography; our long fascination with so-called monstrous births; the Muppet Show; dinosaurs and sea creatures; and the question what monsters might do for children in particular. Alright friends, it's the monstrous season and this is a fun one to help you celebrate. Enjoy!   Notes 3:00 – Grendel's mother has often been a subject of critical discussion and adaptation.

As we officially close the book on the incredible Everybody Wants 10th Anniversary Tour, it's only fitting we end with a final, behind-the-scenes debrief from the one and only Gethin Davies. Fresh off the road, Geth joins me to pull back the curtain on a tour that was more than just a celebration—it was a revelation. What really happened in San Diego that brought the last decade full circle in a way no one planned? Which fan questions during the new Q&A sessions left the band speechless, and which ones will they never, ever answer again? From the grueling schedules and near-disasters of early van life to the Texas barbecue obsession that took over the bus, Gethin shares the untold stories you won't hear anywhere else. But most importantly, discover how this nostalgic journey back in time has unexpectedly ignited the creative fire for album number five, setting the stage for the next ten years of The Struts.

This week on Stanford Hispanic Broadcasting, we're proud to feature an exclusive interview with Martha Rodríguez‑Salazar, curator of the San Francisco Symphony's annual Día de los Muertos celebration. Martha, a classically trained musician, educator, and cultural leader originally from Mexico City, has been the visionary behind this beloved event since 2008. Her deep commitment to community, tradition, and education shines through in every detail of the celebration — from the music to the vibrant lobby experiences that welcome families into the heart of this cultural ritual. This year's Día de los Muertos event takes place on Saturday, November 1, 2025, at Davies Symphony Hall in San Francisco. The focus is on children and interactivity — creating a space where families can connect with the meaning and magic of this tradition. Starting at 1:30 pm, the lobby of Davies Hall will transform into a colorful, immersive experience featuring altars created by local artists, face painting, sugar skull decorating, paper flower making, and even a Mariachi instrument “petting zoo.” It's an opportunity for young people to engage directly with the symbols, sounds, and spirit of Día de los Muertos. At 3:00 pm, the concert begins — a vibrant musical tribute under the [...]

This video explores the fascinating figure of Paimon, one of the most prominent kings of the Goetia, tracing his journey from early modern demonological catalogues to his reinvention in contemporary occultism and popular culture. We will examine how his image shifts across grimoires, from Johann Weyer's Pseudomonarchia Daemonum to the Ars Goetia, and how his regal yet ambiguous traits became symbols of hidden wisdom, exotic authority, and intellectual mastery. The talk also considers Aleister Crowley's psychological reinterpretation, the adaptations within Left-Hand Path traditions, and the transformation of Paimon into a mentor-like figure in modern demonolatry. Finally, we look at his unexpected entry into mainstream media through Ari Aster's Hereditary and his reimagining in gaming and internet culture. Paimon's enduring appeal lies not in stability but in continual reinvention, making him a key case study in the dynamics of Western esotericism.CONNECT & SUPPORT

Send us a textPat Davies enjoyed participating in a variety of sports in his youth, including Little League and swimming. As an adult, he found new outlets for his competitive spirit, spending a decade in karate, moving into marathons and ultrarunning, hiking, and even competing in the unique “ride and tie” races that combine running with endurance horseback riding. He has completed over 100 hikes to the top of Lone Peak, over 11,000 feet up in the Wasatch front in Northern Utah. Now 68, Pat embraced gravel biking a year ago, and this summer, he completed a 4,000-mile solo ride across the United States from Anacortes, Washington to Maine. While members of his family would sometimes meet him at stops along the way, he braved storms, equipment breakdowns, headwinds, and long lonely roads, averaging 76 miles a day and chronicling the journey through daily YouTube videos. Pat lives in Sandy, Utah with his wife and four children and continues to prove that adventure doesn't have an age limit.

What does it mean to be a woman today? Our culture has turned this into a debate, but for many young women—especially in Christian homes and schools—the real struggle comes in sorting through competing voices, conflicting priorities, and a lack of clear role models.In this episode of BaseCamp Live, Davies sits down with his daughter, Hannah Owens, founder of The Swish Magazine. Drawing from her own classical Christian upbringing, Hannah shares how she came face-to-face with the confusion around womanhood in her Gen Z college years and why she's now committed to recovering a vision of classical femininity—the preservation and reflection of truth, goodness, and beauty in womanhood.Together they discuss:Why Gen Z women often prioritize career over marriage and family—and what that reveals about cultural messaging.The gap between “pioneer bonnets” and modern feminism—and why girls need something more rooted and hopeful in between.How role models, from Princess Catherine to contemporary Christian entrepreneurs, can embody duty, beauty, and service.Practical ways parents and schools can guide daughters toward confident, Christ-centered womanhood.From family photo walls to auditing media habits, Hannah offers tangible steps to help reframe femininity not as performance, but as calling. This is a conversation for parents, educators, and young women alike who long to celebrate the true, good, and beautiful in a culture that has lost its way.Special Thanks to our partners who make BaseCamp Live possible:The Herzog FoundationThe Champion GroupZipCastWilson Hill AcademyLife Architects Coaching Stay tuned for more enlightening discussions on classical Christian education, and join us next time on BaseCamp Live!

The government is shut down, but the show is fired up, tackling everything from Washington's political theater to a high-school image scandal and a "demonic" Super Bowl halftime pick. North Dakota Attorney General Drew Wrigley joins to discuss the criminal nature of sharing explicit and AI-generated images among teens, while Congresswoman Julie Fedorchak breaks down why Democrats are "holding the American people hostage" over government funding. Plus, a community rallying cry for a wholesome alternative to the Bad Bunny Super Bowl halftime show.   Key Moments: 01:45 - The "Life Erickson" 5K Run/Walk in Moorhead on October 9th is announced, complete with Viking helmets and beer glasses from Swing Barrel Brewing. 08:06 - North Dakota Attorney General Drew Wrigley joins to discuss the disturbing and illegal sharing of nude and AI-generated images among students at Davies and West Fargo schools. 12:56 - Dana in Williston calls in, highly disturbed by the NFL's selection of "Puerto Rican rapper" Bad Bunny for the Super Bowl halftime show, calling him "anti-everything." 13:51 - The host and caller discuss Taylor Swift reportedly turning down the Super Bowl halftime show because the NFL would not meet her financial demands. 17:34 - Drew Wrigley addresses a common pushback, clarifying that while a student who sends an explicit image of themselves is not the focus of prosecution, the distributor of that image is committing a crime. 20:46 - A caller connects the student image scandal to a larger "crisis" in North Dakota, mentioning a recent suicide linked to "revenge porn" and digital harassment. 23:44 - Mike calls in, arguing that AI itself should be prosecuted as a new entity for its role in fostering suicidal thoughts in children undergoing mental health crises. 26:50 - Congresswoman Julie Fedorchak explains the political dynamic behind the government shutdown, detailing how Democrats' "ridiculous demands," like unwinding Medicaid work requirements and funding free healthcare for illegal aliens, caused the stoppage. 31:58 - A listener suggests that football players who claim Christ as their savior should "take a knee about Bad Bunny" to protest the halftime choice. 34:54 - Dana in Bismarck encourages listeners to honor the legacy of Charlie Kirk by asking themselves, "would I do that to myself?" when making decisions.

Former President **Bill Clinton's inscription to Ghislaine Maxwell — “To Ghislaine, with love” — in a signed copy of his memoir is more than just a casual gesture; it reeks of intimacy and poor judgment. At a time when Maxwell was already deeply enmeshed in Epstein's world, such a public figure choosing to gift her a personalized keepsake raises troubling questions about the depth of his relationship with her. It underscores the hypocrisy of powerful leaders who later sought to distance themselves from Epstein and Maxwell, even as evidence continues to surface showing they were more than passing acquaintances.In 2002, a photograph surfaced showing former President Bill Clinton receiving a shoulder massage at an airport from Chauntae Davies, who later became one of Jeffrey Epstein's accusers. The image was taken during a stopover while Clinton's jet refueled en route to Africa on what was described as a humanitarian mission. Davies was 22 at the time.

Earlier this year, a new movie called “My Father's Shadow” made history when it became the first Nigerian film to be officially selected for the Cannes Film Festival. Set over the course of a single day in Lagos in 1993 (a day that happens to be one of the most catastrophic in Nigerian history), the film follows two young boys who join their father on a trip to the city so he can collect his paycheck. The story is semi-autobiographical, based on director Akinola Davies Jr.'s own family experiences. During this year's Toronto International Film Festival, Akinola sat down with Tom Power to talk about memory, Nigeria's lesser known history, and the stuff you learn about your parents after they're gone.

Wale & Funmbi, the writer and producers of My Father's Shadow, join us for such a well-rounded episode. We discuss what to do if you're a dark-hearted cheat, how to get over the idea of “the one that got away”, father-son dynamics in Nigerian society and how tumultuous parental relationships can be, which led us to their highly anticipated film, written to portray the father-son connection set against a 1993 military-ruled Nigeria.
