We recorded this week's marriage diary podcast on location under the famous Sycamore Tree in Bampton, the real village of Downton Abbey. But it was harder than we thought. Downton Abbey has become our family's anchor, so when we found ourselves in the UK close to the location where many of the show's outdoor scenes were filmed, we packed our microphones and set off to record a podcast. While we were talking about why this show has become a lifeline for both our marriage and our family, a coachload of tourists turned up. I've never felt so awkward and self-conscious in my life. But Brian refused to stop filming. So you will hear my awkwardness in all its glory... After a year of loss and leaving our home in New Zealand, Liz and Brian, husband and wife, have been living out of suitcases, feeling nomadic and uncertain. In this very raw episode, we talk about how binge-watching Downton Abbey has given our family a surprising sense of routine, safety, and connection as we travel the world and heal after loss. We also open up about the expat's identity crisis, what it's like to not know where "home" is, and pushing through the fear of being seen when you're grieving. This is one of our most authentic and vulnerable conversations yet, and we hope you enjoy it. Thank you for joining us, you are what make this happen. Our hearts Liz and Brian xx Kia Kaha.

Expectations can make or break a marriage—and they're usually invisible until they collide. In this honest, light-hearted episode, Rusty and Heather share real stories (toilet seats, toothpaste, yard work, and yes…Downton Abbey) to show how unspoken expectations create conflict and how simple conversations create connection. Whether you're engaged, newly married, or 29 years in, you'll learn practical ways to name what you want, listen with grace, and renegotiate roles as life changes. Discover how family of origin shapes your assumptions, why “both” is often the healthiest answer for chores and decision-making, and how everyday choices—like going to bed at the same time—build emotional intimacy. Packed with encouragement and practical tools, this episode helps couples replace resentment with teamwork, boundaries, and clear communication. If you're ready to stop fighting about the trash and start growing together, press play. The Redeemed Marriage Website Watch on YouTube

Wiltshire, ein früher Morgen: Nebel liegt über den Feldern, am Horizont ragen gewaltige Steine auf, die seit Jahrtausenden Rätsel aufgeben – Stonehenge. Errichtet in der Jungsteinzeit, mindestens 3000 v. Chr., besteht das Monument aus tonnenschweren Quadern, deren Transport bis heute ein ungelöstes Geheimnis bleibt. Zur Sommersonnenwende fällt ein Lichtstrahl exakt auf den Opferstein – ein astronomisches Phänomen, das Pilger bis heute anzieht. Mythen erzählen, der Zauberer Merlin habe die Steine aus Irland herbeigezaubert oder Riesen hätten sie aufgestellt. Wissenschaftlich gilt Stonehenge als Begräbnisstätte, Ritualort und Kalender zugleich – und als das bekannteste Wahrzeichen einer Grafschaft, die weit mehr zu bieten hat. -- In dieser Folge BRITPOD nehmen Euch Alexander-Klaus Stecher und Claus Beling mit nach Wiltshire, die Region mit der größten Dichte prähistorischer Monumente weltweit. Neben Stonehenge besuchen sie das Dorf Avebury mit seinem noch größeren Steinkreis, durch den man bis heute frei spazieren kann. Sie entdecken die weißen Pferde, die im 18. Jahrhundert in die Kreidehügel gescharrt wurden und bis heute die Identität der Region prägen. Und sie erzählen von der majestätischen Kathedrale von Salisbury, einem architektonischen Wunder, das Ken Follett zu „Die Säulen der Erde“ inspirierte und die Magna Carta beherbergt – jenes Dokument, das als Grundlage moderner Demokratie gilt. -- Wiltshire ist auch ein Ort der Zeitreisen: In Castle Combe und Lacock scheint die Zeit stehen geblieben zu sein. Mittelalterliche Gassen, einst durch die Wollindustrie wohlhabend, heute weltbekannte Drehorte für Filme wie Harry Potter und Downton Abbey. Dazu Bradford on Avon, oft „Mini-Bath“ genannt, mit seinen engen Brücken und Fachwerkhäusern. Wer das Land auf andere Weise erkunden will, fährt auf einem Narrowboat über den Kennet-&-Avon-Kanal, einst Handelsweg, heute ein stilles Band durch die Landschaft. Alexander-Klaus Stecher und Claus Beling nehmen Euch mit in eine Grafschaft, in der Geschichte, Natur und Magie bis heute untrennbar verbunden sind. BRITPOD – England at its best! -- WhatsApp: Du kannst Alexander und Claus direkt auf ihre Handys Nachrichten schicken! Welche Ecke Englands sollten die beiden mal besuchen?

President Donald Trump is in town, so it's back to Windsor Castle for our Ed Balls! A podcast recording the morning after a lavish state banquet? Not a problem, it's all par for the course for Ed, who has apparently been catching up on Downton Abbey in preparation. He brought George Osborne up to speed on the events of the evening; who sat where and did he get to say hello to the 47th president? It's hard to believe the US President's visit could be considered a reprieve for Prime Minister Keir Starmer after a grueling two weeks back from summer recess. Soon after Angela Rayner made her sudden, tax-enforced exit the government faced its next drama: US Ambassador Peter Mandelson and his long, email-documented friendship with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. A deputy leadership contest, scrutiny over Mandelson vetting process and - in recent days - questions over whether Andy Burnham is gunning for Starmer's job… It should be catnip for leader of the Tories, Kemi Badenoch - except Danny Kruger's gone and spoiled it by defecting to Reform! Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve has cut rates for the first time this year - while the Bank of England is holding firm at 4%. Ed and George take stock of the global economic position and what's next for the bond market after its moment of tumult earlier this month … To get episodes early and ad-free, join Political Currency Gold or the Kitchen Cabinet:
With box office takings on the rise, James Cameron-Wilson celebrates the arrival of Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale, an exquisitely packaged producdtion with most of the regulars that rounds the trilogy off nicely. He finds #4 The Long Walk, based on a Stephen King novel about boys forced onto a deadly march, to be so compelling you didn't worry about its illogicalities. #7 Spinal Tap II: The End Continues plays on a nostalgic yearning. Often too silly, it still has a high chuckle quotient. James also pays tribute to Robert Redford. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

047 - The long Walk, Dir. Francis Lawrence The Long Walk is a dystopian, post modern Civil War America. Every year each state is represented by a young boy who walks for the grand prize of whatever they want. The cost of victory? The other 49 have to be dead. There s no finish line and no breaks. To fall behind or stop is to be killed. Par the corse for Stephen King. Mark Hamill (The Major) plays his part beautifully as the guy we love to hate. Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale (timecode below) finds Lady Mary Talbot and family a year into The Great Depression and rocked with a scandal. It's ore of what we've come to love about the show- excellent writing, brilliant performances, and an old world English charm that keeps us coming back for more. If you're a fan of Downton Abbey, this one will put a smile on your face. 0:00:00 - Introductions and Banter 0:08:30 - Box Office 0:11:15 - The Best Toy Story Movie? 0:18:50 - Movie Recommendation- The Road, Dir.

We're here to provide a little distraction -- and a positive online community during these weird times -- with the latest episode of our Breakfast All Day podcast. Our first movie isn't exactly escapist fun, though: "The Long Walk," which is one of the better Stephen King adaptations. It's beautifully written and acted but also harrowing to watch, especially now. This may not be the best week to see people getting shot in the head, but this movie is really good otherwise. In theaters. Next up, it's "Spinal Tap II: The End Continues," the painfully unfunny sequel to the 1984 comedy classic "This Is Spinal Tap." It would be impossible to match the brilliance of a movie that invented an entire genre, but this one really doesn't. Rob Reiner, Michael McKean, Christopher Guest and Harry Shearer are all back, along with some major celebrity cameos. In theaters. If you're looking for elegant pleasures, we have "Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale." Everyone's lives are in flux in 1930s England, but they look great doing it. And despite their financial woes, they find time to get gussied up for the horse races at Ascot. This tidies up all the stories in satisfying fashion. In theaters. Finally, a lengthy Movie News LIVE!: Early reactions to "One Battle After Another," Emmy Awards on Sunday, "Big Little Lies" season 3 and much more. We tried to keep the politics to a minimum but dipped into some entertainment-adjacent items toward the end. Join us every Friday at Noon Pacific. Thanks for all you do for our community! Subscribe to Christy's Saturday Matinee newsletter: https://christylemire.beehiiv.com/ Come hang out with us before a showing of "One Battle After Another"!

Stassi is back with bestie Taylor Strecker, fresh from the Downton Abbey premiere in New York (yes, she left on Messer's 2nd birthday and Taylor calls her out). The premiere was absolutely amazing, and she's still a little drunk from the after-party of her period-piece dreams—but that doesn't stop the two from diving into something even juicier: they share the same therapist. Stassi admits she's not sold on therapy, preferring “de-lu-lu land” over digging up childhood drama, while Taylor explains why it's helped her relationships. Their honest, hilarious back-and-forth proves why they're an iconic duo. And in true Stassi fashion, things end with one last pop-culture bombshell: she's officially over Meghan Markle… and finally hit unfollow.Thanks for supporting our sponsors:Hiya: Receive 50% off your first order.

This episode pulls back the curtain on the craftsmanship that made Downton Abbey a fully realized universe. Costume designer Anna Robbins discusses the evolution of style from Edwardian formality to 1930s glamour, while Production Designer Donal Woods explains how Highclere Castle and meticulously built sets created both grandeur and intimacy. Cast members reflect on how these details deepened their performances, grounding their characters in a believable world. Together, these creative elements demonstrate why Downton's immersive atmosphere became as iconic as the Crawleys themselves.Experience Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale in theaters on September 12th.Get tickets at DowntonAbbey.com.See Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale + one more film at AMC Theatres to start earning rewards.

As the new feature film Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale opens worldwide, we see for the final time the elegant, glamorous and always dramatic world of Lord and Lady Grantham and their family. We also have a chance to look back at the evolving fashion and hairstyles of Downton's characters as they have evolved from the series debut set in 1912 up to this final film set in 1930. Joining The Gilded Gentleman table to trace this fashion history is listener favorite Dr. Elizabeth L. Block, who takes us from the high Edwardian style we saw with Violet, the Dowager Countess, to the body hugging slinky styles of Coco Chanel we see on Lady Mary in this latest film. We also explore the flapper look, the influence of war years on fashion and how the great cultural forces such as the Ballets Russes all influence the styles of the Crawley sisters. And we even take a look downstairs and talk about how styles for domestic staff were shifting as well. This episode was produced and edited by Kieran Gannon.

Stassi and C-O-Lo are back—jet lagged, slightly blotchy from a late-night spray tan, and ready to dive into pop culture. Stassi shares what it's like to parent through airports, survive marathon meetings, and still miss her English naps. The girlies unpack Taylor Swift's engagement, Sydney Sweeney's headline-making choices (Glenn Powell, Scooter Braun, Bezos' wedding, and that ballerina ad), and why authenticity is everything in 2025. They gush about Love Thy Nader and debate Dancing with the Stars casting news. Plus, Stassi opens up about mom guilt, Messer's upcoming birthday vs. the Downton Abbey premiere, and why September feels like the real New Year.Thanks for supporting our sponsors:Progressive: Visit Progressive.com to see if you could save on car insurance.Thrive Causemetics: Maximize your look with minimal effort.
