Podcasts about Despot

Der letzte Takt | Komödie mit Kammerorchester Ein kleines Kammerorchester in Reykjavik steht vor dem Aus – die staatliche Förderung wackelt, die Zukunft ist ungewiss. Da kehrt ein weltberühmter isländischer Cellist in die Heimat zurück. Seine Präsenz verspricht Rettung, doch schon bald entpuppt sich der gefeierte Virtuose als herrischer Despot. Beim entscheidenden Konzertabend eskaliert die Situation – was danach geschieht, wird an dieser Stelle jedoch nicht verraten. Stattdessen empfehlen wir euch den Podcast mit Lida und Sero. Dort erfahrt ihr, ob sich „Der letzte Takt“, der am 12. Juni in den deutschen Kinos startet, wirklich lohnt. Viel Spaß mit der neuen Folge vom Tele-Stammtisch!

We are so back. After a longer than expected hiatus to write, record, and produce our Beastie Boys miniseries (more on that in a moment) we are returning to the world of weekly indie rap podcasting with a special guest. We sometimes joke that DBRP started as a way for three old friends to share their love of classic rap music but at some point morphed into a show about how billy woods is really good at rapping. This week we are examining Golliwog, woods' latest album, including a long conversation with the Backwoodz label head himself. Topics include checking in on Vordul, the album's guest rappers especially Bruiser Wolf and Despot, how woods is dealing with his increasing notoriety, and some Bay Area restaurant recommendations not just for traveling hip-hop artists. woods also asks us to name our top 3 albums of his, after refusing to talk about his own catalog that way, but he does engage with us on some Backwoodz releases. Golliwog is a serious contender for Album of the Year, and it was a pleasure to break it down with one of our favorite MCs. Toward the end of the show we explain a bit about what we have been doing on hiatus. Starting next week we will be dropping an 8-part miniseries examining the Beastie Boys' storied career, breaking down each of their albums in our own discursive, punny way. We hope you'll join us on the ride as we High Plains Drift through their extensive catalog and try to figure out of they are good rappers or not. It's a more complicated question than it might seem so we invited friends of the show Date Ross, Cutso, Sean Kantrowitz, and Open Mike Eagle to get into it with us. Dad Bod Rap Pod is produced by Nate LeBlanc. Theme song by DEM ONE and Cutso. Guest booking by David Ma. Available on the internet by the good graces of Stony Island Audio.

Immer mehr Menschen fordern einen Schlussstrich unter die Aufarbeitung der NS-Zeit. Geschichte ist aber nie zu Ende aufgearbeitet, sagt die Historikerin Andrea Despot. Leider fehle immer mehr Menschen das Verständnis für dieses Bewusstsein. Despot, Andrea www.deutschlandfunkkultur.de, Interview

Wir sind Billonär*innen! - Zumindest sitzt das Geld jetzt sehr locker und natürlich besprechen die beiden Berliner DRAGQUEENS Margot Schlönzke und Jurassica Parka, was man so alles mit dem Geld machen kann. Doch die wichtigste Nachricht: der erste Spargel ist gestochen! Jurassica liebt es, Margot kann darauf verzichten. Außerdem philosophieren die beiden, wer Deutschlands nächster "große Nagus" wird. Und während die dänische Post den Briefverkehr einstellt, Paris rund 500 Straßen stillegt, gehen den USA die Eier aus... Da tobt der "Despot"! TrumPutin telefonieren miteinander und haben dennoch unterschiedliche Gespräche geführt. Und bei Teslas fehlen 1,4 Milliarden... Konnte man bei Ex-"Twitter" lesen... wenn es denn mal online war. Und dann gab es da noch den Golf von Tegel und vielleicht auch demnächst den "Golf von Parka und Schlönzke"? Ansonsten hatte Margot Spaß mit dem Finanzamt. Bei Jurassica war hingegen nichts los. Aber hört selbst. Und wusstet ihr eigentlich, dass die beiden auch ne Kieztour in Berlin machen?

Die letzten Zeitzeugen des Holocausts sind bald nicht mehr da. Rechte politische Kräfte verharmlosen den Völkermord durch die Deutschen. Wie schaffen wir es, die Erinnerung wach zu halten, besonders für junge Menschen? Despot, Andrea;Gryglewski, Elke www.deutschlandfunkkultur.de, Im Gespräch

Putin | Despot als Deepfake Der polnische Regisseur Patryk Vega widmet sich in seinem neuen Film dem Leben von Wladimir Putin und greift dabei auf KI-gestützte Deepfake-Technologie zurück, um das Gesicht des russischen Präsidenten und Diktators authentisch nachzubilden. „Putin“ gerät damit gleich doppelt ins Kreuzfeuer: zum einen wegen seines kontroversen Themas, zum anderen aufgrund seiner Inszenierung. Der Film wirkt wie eine gezielte Provokation – was grundsätzlich nichts Verwerfliches ist. Doch laut Lida und Stu entpuppt sich der Wannabe-Schocker im Biopic-Gewand als ziemliches Debakel. Ab dem 9. Januar 2025 könnt ihr euch selbst ein Bild davon in den deutschen Kinos machen. Mehr dazu im Podcast. Viel Spaß mit der neuen Folge vom Tele-Stammtisch!

This week, Adam and Tiana are feeling TOTALLY NORMAL, NOTHING TO DISCUSS HERE, and talk about what a despot looks like. Dictators and despots can be incredibly intricate TTRPG villains, usable in a number of circumstances ranging from mustache-twirling to "doing the wrong thing for the right reasons."

Un muzician consecvent cu arta lui. Un om consecvent cu sine însuși. Un personaj pentru care onestitatea nu e opțională. ADRIAN DESPOT, alături de Diana Popescu și Marius Chivu, într-un episod Cronicari Digitali în care rațiunea e mereu la paritate cu emoția.

Haile Selassie herrscht fast vier Jahrzehnte über Äthiopien. Von einigen wird er als göttliche Inkarnation Jesu verehrt, für seine Kritiker ist er ein absolutistischer Despot.

Er schafft die Sklaverei ab, wird als Freiheitskämpfer verehrt, aber auch als machtbesessener Despot verachtet. Am 12.09.1974 wird der letzte Kaiser Äthiopiens gestürzt. Von Daniela Wakonigg.

Though traditionally regarded as a monarch who failed to arrest the gradual decline of his kingdom, the Korean king Chŏngjo has benefited in recent decades from a wave of new scholarship which has reassessed both his reign and his role in Korean history. The latest to do so is Christopher Lovins, who in his book King Chŏngjo: An Enlightened Despot in Early Modern Korea (State University of New York Press 2019) explains how as king Chŏngjo governed not as a weak ruler but as an absolute monarch. Lovins situates this within modern definitions of absolutism, showing how their conceptualizations apply to Chŏngjo just as effectively as they do to such period rulers as the Chinese emperor Qianlong and the French monarch Louis XIV. Motivated by the experiences with court factionalism that he blamed for the death of his father, Chŏngjo drew upon Confucian thinking to strengthen his position ideologically. These arguments he used to centralize power in his hands, most dramatically in his strengthening of the traditionally weak Korean army. Though many of Chŏngjo's changes were undone after his death in 1800, Lovins makes the case that Chŏngjo's legacy should be considered separate from the failings of his successors rather than as part of them.

50 - Despot Stefan Lazarević - Stevan Visoki, bio je jedan od najistaknutijih vladara, ratnika, diplomate i književnika srednjovekovne Srbije. Sin kneza Lazara, preuzeo je upravu nad Srbijom 1402. godine do svoje smrti 1427. Bio je vrstan vojskovođa, hrabar vitez, ali i talentovani pesnik, poznat po delu "Slovo ljubve". O njemu u današnjoj epizodi istoričar Nikola Đukić razgovara sa kolegom Milošem Ivanovićem.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Do What You Can (A Poem), published by ElliotTep on July 1, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Audio is here if you prefer. Hope you like it. I got something to offer, all I ask is your time. And forgiveness for the form: a cheesy rhyme. You're skeptical? Makes sense. But I know your type's vice. You strike me as a purveyor, of do-gooder advice. And it's pretty damn good, I don't mean to boast, This advice always fits. Well…sort of. Almost! Listen good, take your time, to ensure I'm understood, As I tell you how to do the utmost good. But first let's all travel, to that fateful day. When you first got involved, with that thing called EA. Maybe a colleague, a classmate, or old childhood friend, Solemnly broke the news, of how this world will end. Or perhaps it was fanfic, of a boy with a wand, career tips, free pizza, or a child in a pond. Well, you found the people, who in turn shaped the art, of how to do good with the head and heart. Do-gooder nerds, you knew through and through, You found it! Well done! Your purpose. Your crew. So to all of you, here it is: my tip, my advice. Alright! I'll tell you. You don't need to ask twice. To help those not yet born. The ill. The caged birds, And if that wasn't enough, it's only 8 words, An elegant plan, a simple process: Do what you can. No more. No less. "Well that's cute and that's neat" I can hear you retort "But it's hardly a plan that can hold down the fort: To reduce the myriad, global catastrophic risks, Spare the shrimp, help the poor, and those who don't yet exist. Now don't get me wrong, I don't think you're some jerk, But the world is on fire…I should get back to work. Thanks for the rhyme. It was silly and sweet. But it's got too much fluff, needs to be more concrete." I'm so glad you asked, it's a fair thing to do, Coz I saved my best bits for last (and wrote your lines too). So let's get specific, let's chat details, Let's get some shit done, put some wind in those sails. If you do what you can, and I do it too, Imagine all the things, that we both can do. Rid the paint of the lead, take the birds out of cages, Stop a pathogen's spread, double a village's wages. Convince others to join you, more people is better, The EV goes up, the more you go meta. As a powerful clan, begins to coalesce, When you do what you can. No more. No less. If you can do more than that, then that is your mission. Do as much as you can, with your skills and ambition. Train up and network, guard your health and routine, Improvements compound, you do-gooder machine. And don't bother comparing, against what others can do. They'll do what they can, and you'll do the same too. Because all you can do, is your personal best, So just do what you can. No more. No less. And sometimes the winds blow, in the wrong direction, Ag-gag laws. FTX. Despot wins an election. And sometimes the storm rages, right over your head, Grant rejected. RSI. Too sad to get out of bed. In times like these, my recommendation, Is to look after yourself, maybe take a vacation. Take time off with loved ones, tend your wounds, nurse your cuts. As long as is needed, no ifs, ands, or buts. If you're feeling disillusioned, fed up, or impatient, Well, this phrase still applies, if you're EA adjacent. Don't need to attend meetups, or read Slatestarcodex, To still do what you can. No more. No less. And I'm sorry if my words, land flippant or trite. Like cheering "hit good better!", when you've just lost a fight. I'm hoping these words, will resonate with someone, If that someone ain't you, close this page, get some sun. And if you're done and you quit, done with doing good. I'm so sorry. I don't know what happened that got you to this point. But I know it must have been really hard. Thank you for trying. I wish it had worked out differently. My heart goes out to you. Look. Wo...

✍︎: The Curious Worldview Newsletter https://curiousworldview.beehiiv.com/subscribehttps://atlasgeographica.com/bill-browder-russia/Bill Browder is back for his #2 appearance on the pod!This was recorded in his London offices, and builds upon the themes from our first conversation.Bill discusses the very real threat of assassination by both Putin and China. He lays out his Rouges Gallery of both nations and individuals and offers what is a rather desolate and grim picture of the Russian culture and economy.Bill Browder is the author of Red Notice & Freezing Order.Red Notice is one of my favourite autobiographies.
