Podcasts about dickens

In this episode, Gwyneth sits down with filmmaker Ky Dickens, creator of The Telepathy Tapes, the podcast that's sparked a powerful conversation about connection, consciousness, and how we listen. Dickens shares what she's uncovered after years spent with families of nonspeaking autistic children—many of whom seem to communicate in ways that challenge everything we think we know about language, intuition, and the mind. They talk about the resistance to what we can't quantify, the power of deep maternal bonds, and what becomes possible when we learn to truly listen. Whether you approach this with skepticism or curiosity, this conversation invites a new way of thinking about consciousness—and the unexpected forms it might take.

Hot on the heels of Dominic's audiobook of George Silverman's Explanation comes the discussion with Dr. Emily Middleton (formerly Bell) … who we've met before in the episodes on Oliver Twist and The Lazy Tour of Two Idle Apprentices …Emily is working on George Silverman, and other rarer Dickens stories for Oxford University Press, and has just published The Verse of Charles of Dickens for Edinburgh University Press which she has co-authored with Dr Lydia Craig. ( There is a joint episode on this with Emily and Lydia already waiting in the wings)George Silverman's Explanation is an indictment against poverty, as powerful as you will find in any of Dickens' larger works. It is also a biting satire against the 'daring ignorance' and little 'meannesses' found in many non-conformist movements. Above all it is a deeply affecting examination of how far a childhood of of both want and punishing religious control can impact a man's self-worth and future happiness.

Scuzz Nation: Britain's slow and grubby decline If you want to understand why voters flocked to Reform last week, Gus Carter says, look no further than Goat Man. In one ward in Runcorn, ‘residents found that no one would listen when a neighbour filled his derelict house with goats and burned the animals' manure in his garden'. This embodies Scuzz Nation – a ‘grubbier and more unpleasant' Britain, ‘where decay happens faster than repair, where crime largely goes unpunished, and where the social fabric has been slashed, graffitied and left by the side of the road'. On the podcast, Gus speaks to Dr Lawrence Newport, founder of Crush Crime, to diagnose the issues facing Britain – and offer some solutions to stop the rot. (01:28) Next: is it demeaning to study Dickens? In the magazine this week, Philip Hensher reviews ‘Literature and Learning: A History of English Studies in Britain' by Stefan Collini. Philip's main gripe is that the history stops short of charting the threats posed to the study of English literature in the past fifty years. Accessible, ‘relevant' short stories are increasingly replacing the classics, as the monuments of Victorian literature defeat today's undergraduates. So can English literature still teach us how to read deeply in an age of diminishing attention spans? Philip joins the podcast alongside Orlando Reade, author and assistant professor at Northeastern University London, where he teaches English and creative writing. (17:47) And finally: are you a bad house guest? In the magazine, Christa D'Souza bemoans terrible house guests. Set against the idyllic backdrop of her home in the Greek Cyclades, she gives an account of the trials and absurdities of hosting – from towel-hoarding Americans to the toddler-like breakfast habits of many grown adults. She joins the podcast alongside our very own agony aunt, Mary Killen, to discuss further – and hopefully offer some advice on how better to deal with rude house guests. (29:04) Hosted by Lara Prendergast and Gus Carter. Produced by Oscar Edmondson.

How to tackle overwhelming tasks with a simple mental trick called “just go to the shed.” Why keeping a “done list” might be more motivating than a to-do list (feat. Marie Curie). How inboxes, perfectionism, and productivity guilt trap us in modern-day Sisyphus cycles.

Ky Dickens is the award-winning filmmaker behind "The Telepathy Tapes," the viral podcast phenomenon. This conversation explores the intersection of neurodiversity and consciousness as Ky shares her journey documenting non-speaking autistic individuals with apparent telepathic abilities. We discuss her transformation from pragmatic skeptic to someone witnessing replicable telepathic demonstrations, the concept of "The Hill" (where individuals telepathically gather), and how these discoveries challenge our materialist conceptualization of reality. As I oscillate between wonder and skepticism, Ky provides a steady compass through my conflicted intellectual terrain. Ky's work is a profound invitation to question the crude facsimile we call reality. This conversation is mind-blowing! Enjoy!

Charles Dickens' expose of the French Revolution is cleverly performed and seems a little too close to home in today's political climate. I would highly recommend this anyone unfamiliar with "A Tale of Two Cities" by DIckens, anyone unfamiliar with the history of the French Revolution and anyone interested in how a political movement run amok can affect the lives of every person involved resulting in unfathomable horrors perpetrated in the name of justice.

In this episode of the Family Biz Show, host Michael Palumbos is joined by filmmaker and entrepreneur Eriksen Dickens of Platinum Peak and Dickens Brothers to explore the power of legacy documentaries in preserving family stories for future generations. Eriksen shares the inspiring story of building a creative business with his brother—starting with childhood movies on their family ranch to directing legacy films for philanthropists, founders, and family foundations. They discuss the unique dynamics of working with family, the evolution of their business, and the challenges of leadership, delegation, and growth as their team expanded. This heartfelt conversation dives deep into the emotional and strategic value of storytelling for family enterprises. Eriksen explains the Seven Storytelling Pillars his team uses to bring generational narratives to life, and how these documentaries foster connection, healing, and clarity across generations. Michael and Eriksen also reflect on the importance of identity post-succession, what people regret at the end of life, and why every family should consider capturing their story on film—before it's too late.

Hello, my friends! Today we are talking about the exquisite piece of literature, Hard Times by Charles Dickens. Dickens is one of the greatest authors of all time and this is one of his grumpiest novels of all time. We break it down today on the show!Thanks for listening!Mentioned in this episode:Human Cure by Tom Withers

Author and researcher, Stephen Sakellarios, believes that his former reincarnational lifetime as writer Matthew Whittier actually co-authored the original version of A Christmas Carol, long attributed to Engish author Charles Dickens. Stephen has researched documents that to him prove that the original manuscript was passed to Dickens instead of him managing to write and publish it within six weeks as originally portrayed. To discuss this and other aspects of reincarnation on The Paranormal Peep Show is Ben Emlyn-Jones and Neil Ward.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/paranormal-uk-radio-network--4541473/support.

It's been a minute since 'Atlanta Voice' editor-in-chief Donnell Suggs and I last spoke, and with so much to discuss, today seemed like as good a day as any to reconnect. Suggs got to spend a wire-to-wire day with Atlanta mayor Andre Dickens recently, so naturally, I had questions. With his re-election campaign's coffers brimming with cash, is that positive or negative in the eyes of Atlantans? Will 'Cop City' be a drag for him? His 11th hour pivot on 'Beltline rail?' Recent word that former mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms is looking into a gubernatorial run had me wondering if she's more popular with the Atlanta voter base than conventional wisdom might bely. Will Senator Jon Ossoff lose support from black voters because of attack ads targeting his vote on trans sports participants?Will looming tariff costs to the average American household keep folks from traveling this summer? Like to the new Universal Epic Universe theme park journalists like Suggs had the opportunity to get a sneak peak of?

Today, on Karl and Crew, we continued our weekly theme of fasting with a discussion about turning back to the Lord. We all make mistakes, but we have a merciful Heavenly Father who loves us unconditionally and will look past those mistakes because He wants us to return to Him. We are affirmed of His merciful embrace in Joel 2:12-13, where He is described as “gracious, merciful, slow to anger, of great kindness, and relents from doing harm.” Have you returned to the Lord? We were also joined by Dr. Drew Dickens, our special guest, who provided insight into the intersection of technology and spirituality. Dr. Dickens is a visionary leader, an AI expert, and a scholar who focuses on the intersection of technology, spirituality, and faith-based engagement. He also founded the Encountering Peace app and the Encouter Podcast, which provide biblical meditations, resources, and dialogue. Dr. Dickens has also authored the book, “Whispers of the Spirit: A 40-Day Guide to Intimate Prayer,” which was released today. We also had Franklin Graham as a special guest. Franklin is a speaker, author, and evangelist. He is also the President and CEO of Samaritan’s Purse, an international Christian relief and evangelism organization, as well as the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.

Author Allison Epstein says when she read Oliver Twist, she found Charles Dickens' portrayal of Fagin, the novel's central scoundrel, to be stereotypical and antisemitic. But there was also something about the character that piqued her curiosity. Now, her new novel Fagin the Thief gives that character a backstory – and a literary second chance. In today's episode, Epstein speaks with NPR's Scott Simon about her research into where someone like Fagin might've grown up, her reimagination of the character's intentions, and how she came to view Dickens as a working writer.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

LIKE A TIME PORTAL: 4/4: Once Upon a Tome: The Misadventures of a Rare Bookseller by Oliver Darkshire  (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Once-Upon-Misadventures-Rare-Bookseller/dp/1324092076/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= Welcome to Sotheran's, one of the oldest bookshops in the world, with its weird and wonderful clientele, suspicious cupboards, unlabeled keys, poisoned books, and some things that aren't even books, presided over by one deeply eccentric apprentice. 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. 1935 ZANE GREY AND LILLIAN PERTKA
