Author : Charles DickensCharles Dickens is one of the most celebrated English novelists of the 19th century. During his life, he wrote a total of 15 full-length novels, more than a hundred short stories, dozens of novellas, and numerous essays, travel journals, and plays. He was one of the most prolific writers the world has ever known, creating works in almost every genre apart from poetry. Dickens' novels reflect the social conditions of his times, evoking them in vivid detail. Through his works, Dickens articulated the views and outlooks of his contemporaries and exposed the stark societal conflicts and hypocrisies of his age. Overview | Chapter 1Hi, welcome to Bookey. Today we will unlock the novel Oliver Twist. In England, in 1837, when Victoria came to the throne, it signaled the dawn of the “Victorian era”. It was a period of relative domestic peace with few international conflicts. Tranquility and stability lasted, and in 1851, the Great Exhibition was staged in London, consolidating the achievements of the Queen's reign and establishing England's position as the leading power in the world. Charles Dickens was a rising star on the literary scene at the time. He had established his reputation with the publication of his novel The Pickwick Papers. In that founding year of the Victorian era, 1837, Dickens began writing a serialized novel for the monthly magazine Bentley's Miscellany. The two-year-long series later became his novel Oliver Twist. This book tells the story of an orphan raised in an abusive workhouse who later escapes to London. His name is Oliver Twist. In the city, Oliver chances upon a group of thieves who want to use him as an accomplice. In their company, he suffers many hardships. Finally, good Samaritans come to his aid and rescue him, and Oliver discovers the true circumstances of his birth. In Oliver, Dickens created a tragic but kind-hearted protagonist who won the love and sympathy of countless readers. In telling Oliver's tale, Dickens also reveals the darkness and injustices common in English society at the time, especially when it comes to treating the underclasses. Although Victorian England is remembered today as a powerful state, Dickens' writing presents the era as, in equal parts, good and evil. Under the same sun, the palatial estates of the wealthy sat beside the filthy slums of the poor. At any moment, both the upstanding and the wretched could be on their way up to heaven or on a descent toward the gates of hell. Dickens was born in 1812 in the town of Portsmouth in the southeast of England. There, his father worked as a minor clerk at the Navy Pay Office. In 1823, the family moved to London, but their finances were in dire straits. The entire family of eight adults and children lived in a cramped little shack in Camden, a district in North London. Their situation was so grave that by the start of the following year, Dickens' father was sent to...

They were the King and Queen of TV westerns but this week's guest called them, Grandma and Grandpa.Julie Rogers Pomilia's father Tom was Dale Evans' son. Roy and Dale were warm and attentive grandparents and Julie had the run of the Double R Bar Ranch as her backyard.In her book, Your Heroes, My Grandparents: A Granddaughter's Love, Julie details cherished memories spent with Roy, Dale, a gaggle of sisters and cousins and Trigger. Her idilic, special scrapbook moments are filled with birthdays, Christmases and recitals and they are seasoned with Hollywood events, backstage explorations, movie sets and TV appearances. Then there's the time her second grade teacher asked her if she could identify the cowboy on the cover of her Weekly Reader. Julie said, “That's my grandpa,” and went home to ask her mom why Grandpa is famous.Julie grew up singing with her sisters and parents, sometimes backing up her grandparents at shows, parades and rodeos. Iconic show biz figures were in and out of the ranch but mostly, Grandpa hung with Clark Gable because they shared hobbies and Nudie Cohn because he designed Grandma and Grandpa's cosutmes.Julie shares her most precious memories of riding on the back of Grandpa's motorcycle and gunning it back and forth across an empty air strip, pheasant hunting… not because she likes it but because she loved making memories with Grandpa, traveling to Scotland with Grandma who made every adventure an event and the true story of Dale Evans' heartbreaking journey towards stardom which required her to keep her son Tom a secret.Also, whatever did happen to Trigger? Is he stuffed or mounted and/or living forever in our hearts? How did Roy and Dale jump start the merchandising industry? And so much more. Plus, Fritz and Weezy are recommending Under the Banner of Heaven on Hulu and Great Expectations… pick an adaptation and read the Dickens classic.And, Fritz's newest special, Unassisted Living is streaming now on Tubi!Path Points of Interest:Your Heroes, My Grandparents: A Granddaughter's LoveThe Roy Rogers Show on TubiUnassisted Living Starring Fritz ColemanUnder The Banner of Heaven Great Expectations - 2023Great Expectations by Charles Dickens (It's Free!)

There's been a bridge over the Thames in London for about 2000 years. In the time since its founding during the Roman Empire, London has become one of the world's most diverse cities. Today, it's as well known for its Indian food (try the restaurants in Brick Lane) and Middle Eastern cuisine (visit Edgeware Road) as it is for a proper afternoon tea (finger sandwiches, scones, pastries, and endless pots of tea). It's also a book lover's paradise with museums dedicated to literary classics — Hello, Sherlock Holmes! Good day, Mr. Dickens! – along with the British Library (don't miss the tour), Poets' Corner in Westminster Abbey, and Shakespeare's Globe where you can watch a play in a faithful reproduction of the Bard's theater. In this episode, we clear up any confusion about London's main bridges, make a case for why you should visit the Tower's Ravenmaster (and his six raven friends), and learn about the mad skills of London cab drivers. Then we recommend five great books that took us there on the page, including a twisty courtroom drama, a time-traveling guidebook, a murder mystery set in London's North End, a beloved urban fantasy, and a modern classic with an unlikely hero. Here are the books about London we recommend on the show: Something to Hide by Elizabeth George Rivers of London by Ben Aaronovitch Anatomy of a Scandal by Sarah Vaughan London: A Travel Guide Through Time by Matthew Green Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel For more on the books we recommend, plus the other cool stuff we talk about, visit our show notes.

After the Elephant Recap: Food/Beverage/Beauty Panel In the trade media/association “After the Elephant” discussion of “Identifying the Elephant in the Room: Critical Communications Strategies in the Face of Sexism','' host of Late Night Health Radio, Mark Alyn, moderated the conversation with guests: Eric Schnell, co-founder of BeyondBrands and Beyond SKU, Jasmine Dickens, COO/operations manager of Misha's Kind Foods, and Miguel Leal, co-founder/CEO of SOMOS Foods, to respond and discuss session three of the sexism seminar series and challenge other leaders in the industry to do some deep work to make meaningful and fundamental changes when it comes to sexism within the natural products industry. The discussion included some key takeaways and memorable moments including:Schnell noted that he had a mix of emotions after watching the panel. He was “sad, angry and disgusted” at the presence of sexism in the natural products industry, but he was also happy that women on the panel finally had a platform to speak about their experiences. Schnell also noted the importance of conversations about sexism, such as this one, that “act as a catalyst for change.”Dickens was also excited to be having this discussion, but she noted that we have a very long way to go in the quest to end sexism. She noted that until recently, women were always hushed and not allowed to speak on their own experiences with sexism. She said that “we have to be willing to take risks collectively” for this change to occur. When it comes to leadership, “we need to be willing to lose an account or client to hold the abuser accountable in the event of sexual harassment.” Leal said that he is glad to be a part of this series to learn how he can play a role in ending sexism and how “all of us, especially men, can become a bigger part of the change.” Leal noted that companies need to have resources that allow an individual to file a complaint or concern to retailers, and how being heard is important for change in the future. Each guest agreed that more accountability needs to be taken when it comes to sexism in the natural products industry, especially from men and those in leadership. Additionally, empowering women through leadership roles can also be a driving force in creating a long-term change. Session Three Action Items:Stop calling employees "family."Create policies at work on how to behave.Don't ask about relationship statuses.Compliment women for accomplishments not on appearance.Leadership must set the tone for culture.Don't tell someone to "smile" (it's belittling).Prioritize women leadership on boards (by 51% or more).Boycott retailers for abusive behavior.Develop an educational program requirement for industry leaders.Be part of the change and help us say #GoodbyeElephants by learning more at https://inicivox.com

Digitálni domorodci – označenie, ktoré prischlo poslednej – najmladšej generácii, ktorá si tu žije s nami po roku 2000. V digitálnom prostredí sú na jednej strane ako ryba vo vode – technologicky zruční, multitaskingoví. Na druhej vždy len ľudia – s obmedzenou kapacitou spracovania až neskutočne bohatej ponuky vnemov, s tendenciami považovať virtuálne za skutočné, hru za realitu; až po problém, že čo nie je na obrazovke smartfónu akoby ani nebolo. Čo však môže priniesť následný stret so svetom, ktorý je ohraničený najbežnejšou fyzikou, nevirtuálnymi dôsledkami virtuálnych hier? Pozrieme sa na to s expertkou na takéto presahy online sveta do toho hmatateľného offlineového. A že v ňom môže pomôcť najobyčajnejšie stretnutie s rozprávkou?   Téma pre Viktóriu Norisovú.   „Tým, že sú kompasom a návodom na život, môžu nám ukázať, ako k nemu pristupovať“. Viktória Norisová poukazuje na rolu rozprávok a ich príbehov, ktorú môžu ponúknuť pre aktuálnu dobu až revolučných zmien v oblasti IT technológií. „Rozprávky môžu byť tým, čo nás spája, čo rodičom ponúkne stráviť so svojimi deťmi kvalitný čas“, vysvetľuje.   Poukazuje pritom na skúsenosť spred dvoch storočí z obdobia veľkej priemyselnej revolúcie s príbehmi Charlesa Dickensa. „V novinách vydával na pokračovanie svoje príbehy. Tie sa kupovali, rodiny na ne čakali a stretávali sa pri ich spoločnom čítaní. Bolo to veľmi úspešné“, tvrdí odborníčka na mediálnu gramotnosť.   Nedávny výskum tímu okolo psychológa Juraja Holdoša (KU Ružomberok) prišiel so zaujímavými dátami o spolunažívaní detí a dospievajúcich s online svetom. Dáta z výskumu hovoria, že zo smartfónu sa pre väčšinu detí a dospievajúcich stalo akési centrum existencie. Do online sveta ním vstupuje viac ako 90 percent mladých – a so zvyšujúcim vekom sa ich podiel zvyšuje; a robia to „niekoľkokrát za deň, denne alebo takmer denne“.   V pracovné dni strávia na internete podľa Viktórie Norisovej viac ako štyri hodiny. Počas víkendov to ešte narastá. „Je prirodzené, že čas na sieťach stúpa. Žiaci s internetom pracujú aj v škole, majú na ňom zadania“, vysvetľuje.   Dôležité je však podľa nej aj to, čo na internete robia. „Je dôležitý obsah a rovnako miesto, kde sú na internete. Či sa deti pred rodičmi neskrývajú, alebo či dokážu otvorene hovoriť o tom, čo na internete robia“, dodáva.   Online svet poskytuje na jednej strane nesporné výhody, na druhej predstavuje aj nástrahy. Spomínaný výskum ukázal, že napríklad tretina detí a dospievajúcich zažila šikanu formou „hnusných a nepríjemných správ“. Vážnym zistením je, že veľká časť detí o nej vôbec s nikým nehovorí (29 percent).   61 percent detí a dospievajúcich vo veku medzi jedenástym a sedemnástym rokom uviedlo, že „videlo sexuálne obsahy“ a najčastejšie sa s nimi stretávajú cez internet. Tretina pritom videla tieto obsahy na pornografickej stránke a to minimálne raz za týždeň.   Aké miesto tu má rodič, učiteľ, vychovávateľ? Podľa Norisovej zodpovednosť za deti majú v prvom rade rodičia. „Trávte na internete čas spolu“, odporúča. „A rozprávajte sa o tom, čo deti zažívajú nielen vo svete reálnom, ale aj v tom virtuálnom“, dodáva.   Pomocou môže byť aj spomínané rozprávky. „Zohrávajú dôležitú úlohu pri výchove, lebo obsahujú skryté návody na život od predošlých generácií“, hovorí Norisová. Pripomína, že sú studnicou hodnôt.   „Neexistuje rozprávka, v ktorej by človek získal šťastie vďaka svojmu sebectvu alebo zákernosti. Naozajstné rozprávky učia deti odpúšťať a milovať. Boj proti krutým životným prekážkam a úskaliam neodmysliteľne patrí k životu a ak sa im človek nevyhýba a postaví sa im, prekoná ich a z boja vyjde ako víťaz“, pripomína.   V podcaste sa dozviete aj veľmi konkrétne odpovede na otázky, kedy deťom dovoliť prístup na sociálne siete, aký čas môžu tráviť na internete, aké sú prípadne príznaky jeho nadužívania, či ako viesť dospievajúcich k mediálnej gramotnosti v online priestore.   Podcast pripravil Jaroslav Barborák.

Some years ago, Oliver Darkshire stepped into the hushed interior of Henry Sotheran Ltd (est. 1761) to apply for a job. Allured by the smell of old books and the temptation of a management-approved afternoon nap, Darkshire was soon unteetering stacks of first editions and placating the store's resident ghost (the late Mr. Sotheran, hit by a tram). A novice in this ancient, potentially haunted establishment, Darkshire describes Sotheran's brushes with history (Dickens, the Titanic), its joyous disorganization, and the unspoken rules of its gleefully old-fashioned staff, whose mere glance may cause the computer to burst into flames. As Darkshire gains confidence and experience, he shares trivia about ancient editions and explores the strange space that books occupy in our lives―where old books often have strong sentimental value, but rarely a commercial one. By turns unhinged and earnest, Once Upon a Tome is the colorful story of life in one of the world's oldest bookshops and a love letter to the benign, unruly world of antiquarian bookselling, where to be uncommon or strange is the best possible compliment.

En el centenario de su nacimiento, ocurrido en 1880, el estado americano de Pensilvania declaró el 27 de junio como el Día de Helen Keller, promovido por el museo dedicado a esta audaz personalidad que, probablemente, muchos ya conocéis. La estadounidense Helen Adams Keller, conferenciante, activista y escritora, fue una mujer extraordinaria. Debido a unas fiebres altas cuando apenas tenía dos años, Helen se quedó ciega, muda y sorda. A los 7 años inventó hasta 60 signos para comunicarse con una amiga, pero su comportamiento errático dejó a su familia preocupada por la necesidad de ingresarla en un centro. Aun así, su madre no se rindió y tras leer sobre la posible educación de otro niño ciego y sordo en una obra de Dickens, recorrió varias instituciones, hasta llegar al Instituto Perkins para ciegos, en Boston, animada por el inventor del teléfono, Alexander Graham Bell, que trabajaba con niños sordos en esa época. En Perkins, Helen empezó a formarse con la educadora Susan Sullivan. Esa relación duraría los siguientes 49 años de sus vidas. Deletrear con los dedos fue la fórmula inicial para seguir con clases de conversación en varios institutos para sordos (tardó 25 años en aprender a hablar para comunicarse con los demás) y asistir a la universidad. Las personas se sentían admiradas y sorprendidas de los logros de Helen, y conoció a mucha gente influyente, como el escritor Mark Twain, quien le procuró el patrocinio del hombre de negocios Henry H. Rogers, que financió sus estudios universitarios. Susan Sullivan la acompañaba a las clases. Keller se graduó con cum laude, a la vez que escribía sus logros en “La historia de mi vida”. Helen Keller se convirtió en una conferenciante y activista convencida, por el voto femenino, los derechos de los trabajadores, los derechos de los discapacitados o el pacifismo.

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of March 31, 2023. Will "Dungeons and Dragons" the movie live up to Dungeons and Dragons the game? That's the big question as "Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves" takes the iconic tabletop role-playing game to the big screen. Another game-turned-movie is "Tetris" on Apple TV+, a sort of Cold War spy movie about a video game. Over on Netflix, Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston are back as the charming, somewhat bumbling, yet unexpectedly effective husband/wife detective team in "Murder Mystery 2." Actor Kiefer Sutherland has a new action-thriller TV series on Paramount+ called "Rabbit Hole." And for fans of sitcoms, Rob Lowe has a comedy for you on Netflix with the quirky show "Unstable." And Finally, a new adaptation of "Great Expectations" on FX & Hulu, starring Olivia Colman as Miss Havisham. But fair warning, this ain't your parents Charles Dickens!

Award-winning children's book author Nancy Churnin talks with "The Shmooze" about her illustrated children's book "Dear Mr. Dickens," which tells the true story of Eliza Davis. In Eliza Davis's day, Charles Dickens was the most celebrated living writer in England. But some of his books reflected a mindset that was all too common at the time: prejudice against Jewish people. Eliza was Jewish and wanted to point out how unfair that was—even if it meant speaking out against the great writer. So she wrote a letter to Dickens himself. What happened next is history.

Choo Choo! Time to hop aboard the podcast train, destination: The Chris Moyles Show on Radio podcast! It was guests galore this week as the team were firstly joined by Mcfly legend Danny Jones who is swapping his guitar for a spatula as he embarks on a food festival tour of the UK with Pub in the Park. Later, we were joined by comedian and political activist Eddie Izzard who told us all about her latest theatre escapades with her one woman adaptation of Dickens' Great Expectations. The team then looked north as we were joined by Paddy McGuiness who ditched Bolton life for somewhere a little more exotic in his latest TV show Tempting Fortune. As Always, 50 at 50 swarmed the show as we thought we'd give Dom a nice surprise and give him a lesson (or two) on his favourite instrument - a cello.

State Representative Teri Anulewicz, a Smyrna Democrat, criticized Republicans for supporting a bill that would ban "gender-affirming care" for transgender youth in her speech to attendees at the Cobb Democratic Party's meeting on March 18. Anulewicz argued that the bill's supporters are motivated by money and the need to remain relevant, suggesting that they are "punching down on vulnerable kids and their families who are just trying to do the best for their kids." Anulewicz also mentioned that there have been zero gender affirming surgeries done on trans minors in the last year in Georgia, but that the bill could penalize doctors who perform certain procedures that may be performed for non-gender-affirming reasons, such as breast reduction surgeries to alleviate back pain.  Meanwhile, State Representative Ginny Ehrhart, an East Cobb Republican, defended the legislation, claiming it was in the best interest of children. The bill has passed the Republican-controlled state Senate and is now awaiting Governor Brian Kemp's approval. Voters sent Aaron Carman and Michael Owens to a runoff in the race for mayor of Mableton on Tuesday, according to unofficial results reported by Cobb County elections. As neither candidate received more than 50% of the vote, the race heads to an April 18 runoff.  With 100% of precincts reporting, Carman, a sales manager who was endorsed by the group behind the movement to de-annex areas from the new city, finished with 2,162 votes, or 35.8%. Owens, former chairman of the Cobb Democratic Party, finished with 1,846 votes, or 30.6%. Cobb County's court in Georgia has largely resolved its backlog of almost 4,000 cases, due to its judges' efficient use of technology during the Covid-19 pandemic. Gregory Poole, the new chief judge of the Cobb Superior Court, noted the use of technology to hold virtual pre-trial and motion hearings and live streaming court cases for family members as ways that helped resolve the backlog. He added that the court is still seeing the benefit of these adaptations to date, even though it has since returned to normal in terms of jury trials, which continue to be held in-person. The Atlanta Braves are taking their Truist Park experience on a road trip across Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, South Carolina, and North Carolina from March through July. The tour will stop at various locations, such as the Cherry Blossom Festival in Macon, the Georgia Food and Wine Festival at Jim R. Miller Park, and The Battery Atlanta. At each stop, fans can step into a replica of Truist Park and pose for a customizable baseball card. Additionally, fans can enter to win two premium Delta Sky360 Club tickets and two batting practice experiences for a 2023 regular season game. By signing up for Braves communications, fans can receive a special ticket offer for 20% off a regular-season game of choice. For more information, visit Braves.com/BCRT. While several Mableton races are headed to a runoff, one outcome has been certain for weeks — Debora Herndon will represent District 6 on the City Council. Herndon, a legal practice specialist, was elected unopposed Tuesday night. She received 539 votes, with 100% of precincts reporting. Another candidate, Ricky Dickens, had originally qualified to run in District 6, and even participated in an early campaign forum. But he notified Cobb Elections in late February that he wished to withdraw from the race. It was too late to remove Dickens' name from the ballot, but votes cast for him did not count. Herndon was endorsed by the De-Annexation from Mableton group, which is pushing for parts of the city that voted against incorporation last fall to be removed from the city. De-annexation can occur through two channels — acts of the state legislature or approval by the mayor and City Council. Our friends at Ingles Market join the program to learn how we can all get more fiber in our diet.  Senator Jason Esteves, an Atlanta Democrat, held a virtual town hall meeting to discuss the controversy over the Sterigenics plant in Smyrna, Georgia. Esteves announced plans to introduce legislation to increase regulation on the testing and monitoring of ethylene oxide, a known carcinogen used to sterilize medical equipment. The Sterigenics plant is facing lawsuits from Cobb County residents, workers, and homeowners over its emissions of ethylene oxide. Panelists discussed other proposals, such as giving local jurisdictions such as Cobb County funds to do their own air monitoring. The EPA had previously identified two census tracts near the Smyrna facility with elevated health risks from airborne toxins. Air quality testing found levels of ethylene oxide up to 395 times higher than what federal regulators deem acceptable. Esteves pledged to hold another town hall in the coming months. The Chattahoochee Nature Center in Roswell has engaged Atlanta muralist Thomas Turner to create a unique mural masterpiece at the Center. The mural will cascade down a multi-tier hillside staircase in the heart of the 127-acre campus and will serve as a backdrop for events hosted at the Center's Ben Brady Lakeside Pavilion. This original, progressive masterpiece will tell a story and welcome visitors to embrace Turner's fantastical universe and surrealist lens of the natural world. The mural will be purpose-built to serve as an iconic landmark and celebration of CNC's history, ecosystem of local flora and fauna, and its native habitats and riverways while reflecting a cultural representation of the Center's values and ethos. The public is invited to attend the grand reveal at CNC's Community Day on April 23 from noon to 4 p.m. The Community Day, which closely coincides with Earth Day, will include the grand reveal of the mural, photo opportunities, guided hikes and live animal encounters. It will also celebrate one year of CNC's new River Boardwalk Trail. The event is free, but reservations are required.

If this automatically downloaded and says it is 1 hour 30 minutes long, it is the wrong version of the episode. Delete the episode and redownload. Sorry for the inconvenience! (Or, if you're a hardcore fan, you're welcome for the exclusive, behind-the-scenes raw podcast.) Initially, an unedited version of this episode was uploaded.  The newer version is a lot more fun to listen to.  Inklings Variety Hour welcomes author Jonathan Geltner to the show to discuss The Neverending Story!   Yes, The Neverending Story is a 1979 children's novel by Michael Ende, who was never an Inkling, and it was made famous by the 1984 movie which Ende disavowed.  We get it. But we really, really love synth. In all seriousness, Inklings fans should read this underrated book, as it has much to say about the virtues and perils of imagination and other worlds.   Among other things discussed:  The Catholic Imagination Conference 1980s Fantasy Films The Second Half of The Neverending Story and the dangers of fantasy The evolution of the term "fantasy" Carl Conrad Coreander and Chesterton's/Dickens' "MOOR EEFFOC" Possible military implications of Falkor coming to Vancouver Fantasy as part of reality, rather than an escape from it "Fantastica: It just sounds better in German" Geography and Landscape in Fantasy Tomorrow, we will post a bonus episode discussing Jonathan's own highly acclaimed debut novel, Absolute Music.  Both conversations are part of a larger discussion about fairy stories, fantasy, and imagination.   This episode masterfully produced by Logan Huggins.  There are a few more sonic treasures like this sprinkled throughout the season--enjoy them!  Chris continues to try to grapple with the basics of editing for future episodes--but that, as they say, is another story, and will be told another time.

Daveed Diggs — Jefferson himself! — joins us on this week's show. Plus the whole team is practically giddy (too much sugar, most likely) as we get back to the wilderness for Yellowjackets, sample Ireland's answer to Fleabag (apparently) with ITV's The Dry, and see what Steven Knight does with Dickens in BBC1's Great Expectations. Plus there's a whole to-do about cake and Kay comes perilously close to murdering James on air (fair).

Dominic is joined by the inimitable actor and Dickens descendant Harry Lloyd. Together they discuss their first impressions of  FX's new Great Expectations and Harry's experience of playing Dickens characters in previous BBC dramatisations of his Great Great Great Grandfather's works, and his career more widely.This podcast is supported by FX's Great Expectations. From executive producers Ridley Scott, Tom Hardy and Steven Knight and starring Olivia Colman and Fionn Whitehead, the series follows Pip, an orphan who yearns for a greater lot in life, until a twist of fate and the evil machinations of the mysterious and eccentric Miss Havisham, show him a dark world of possibilities. FX's Great Expectations premieres in the U.S. Sunday, March 26, only on Hulu.

For this episode, I'm joined by Rachel Vorona Cote (@RVoronaCote), author of the excellent book Too Much: How Victorian Constraints Still Bind Women Today to talk about the concept of “too muchness” (or, how social norms and expectations constrain women's bodies, minds, and sexualities). Specifically, we looked at too muchness and the BBC series on HBO Gentleman Jack, a series based on the diaries of Anne Lister, aka “the first modern lesbian" who lived from 1791 to 1840. We talked about too muchness and: Anne Lister's gender and sexuality, women's mental health and the threat of institutionalization, and lots more.

Best-selling novelist Charles Palliser is best known for his debut novel, The Quincunx, a vast mystery set in Regency England that deftly combines Dickensian elements with contemporary techniques such as the use of unreliable narrators. Published in 1989, after 12 years of research and writing, this 800 page tour de force became an international best-seller. The Anglo-American Palliser was praised for his intricate plotting, vivid characters, and a portrayal of London in the early 19th century so shockingly realistic that Dickens wouldn't have dared expose social conditions with such brutal honesty. Palliser has published four other successful novels including Betrayals, The Unburied and Rustication. Palliser's newest novel Sufferance is projected for release near the end of 2023.

"Shat The Movies" has seen its share of literary adaptations but never one that inspired Big D to draw, Gene to regain his teen mojo and Ash to besmirch the good name of coastal Florida. It's Charles Dickens' "Great Expectations!" This 1998 drama looks great on paper, boasting a star-studded cast including Robert De Niro, Ethan Hawke, Gwyneth Paltrow, Chris Cooper, Hank Azaria and Anne Bancroft. The killer soundtrack features two original songs by Tori Amos and Pulp (remember that nude posing scene? Yow!) And yet somehow the director, Alfonso Cuaron, was disappointed in how it turned out. So we re-watched "Great Expectations" for commissioner Rachel C. and came up with our own ideas of where the movie falls short (mainly costuming) and where it really shines (sexy times).  In this episode, find out why Big D hated the art, why Ash loved the sets, why Gene felt weird and how the whole movie did Joe dirty.

No, he can't.Clark from CA has a transcendental argument for God and asks if moral statements are propositional.Kevin from GA claims that traditional Christian values produce the most moral society. Why are we in such a rush to toss those society-shaping rules aside?Amunuel from TX wants to discuss Kenneth's position of free will when it comes to the proposition that God created people. Apparently, god created some people to be saved and others to be sent to hell and punished. What an immoral thug that God is.Jon from Canada is back, again. Today he asks what evidence would convince our hosts. Listen to Kenneth's fantastic reframing of this question.Zach from D.C. asks if Atheists have an argument against Islam. Apparently, Atheism is just doubt and arrogance. If it is arrogant to admit you don't know something, then I'll take arrogance any day. “Beware this boy.” - Dickens.

In which a bizarrely illustrated codex baffles codebreakers for almost four hundred years, and Ken should not have sent that text about the collected works of Dickens. Certificate #42634.

Corky's flat is invaded by an unknown woman whose stripling in tow is bent on seeing the sights of London – the murderey ones. P.G. Wodehouse, today on The Classic Tales Podcast.

Thank you so much. We're going to continue with the adventures of Ukridge. Wodehouse uses this character elsewhere, but I think that this collection of stories from Corky's point of view, and seeing Ukridge as the well-meaning antagonist is quite effective. The first few stories in this series are available in the podcast feed. You can hear them if you scroll back to episodes 748, to 751, back in September of 2021. And now, The Return of Battling Billson, by P.G. Wodehouse.
