Dans cet épisode nous partons à la découverte de l'univers de la mode. Lumière sur Cristobal Balenciaga (Disney +) que nous allons examiner sous toutes ses coutures (je sors!). Dans le bloc notes une explosion de bonnes séries à regarder sous son plaid. Priscilla nous conseille la série animée Gloutons et Dragons (Netflix) et pour regarder en famille: Percy Jackson et les Olympiens (Disney +). Fanny a vu Nada série brésilienne qui se passe dans le monde de la cuisine (Disney +) , Reacher dans laquelle un ancien militaire mène de l'enquête de façon très musclée (Prime Video) et vous recommande vivement de rattraper la magnifique série The Durrells ou la Folle Aventure des Durrell sur Arte.tv. Enfin nous terminons l'émission par une note plus négative avec la review commune de Sam saison 7 (TF1)

La télévision britannique est douée pour raconter des pans de vie, souvent historiques, et parmi eux, The Durrells sous-titré « une famille anglaise à Corfou » a su se démarquer avec ses 4 saisons. Diffusée de 2016 à 2019, cette série nous transporte dans le pittoresque décor de l'île grecque de Corfou dans les années 1930. Portée par une distribution exceptionnelle, dont Keeley Hawes (Louisa Durrell, la mère) et Josh O'Connor (Larry Durrell le fils aîné), etc., cette série en quatre saisons a conquis le cœur du public avec son charme authentique et son humour irrésistible. L'intégrale est disponible sur Arte.tv. https://youtu.be/aHx23I7LNsU?si=GobZbzndkEBWzx8u The Durrells est une adaptation libre des mémoires de l'écrivain naturaliste Gerald Durrell. L'histoire suit Louisa Durrell, une veuve anglaise excentrique, qui décide de quitter la grisaille de l'Angleterre pour commencer une nouvelle vie ensoleillée à Corfou avec ses quatre enfants. Le choc est assez difficile pour Larry, mais dans l'ensemble, c'est surtout une nouvelle aventure qui les attend. Chacun des enfants Durrell apporte une personnalité unique à la maisonnée, créant un cocktail de charme et d'humour. Larry, l'aîné, incarne l'esprit littéraire et intellectuel avec son sarcasme mordant et ses aspirations artistiques. Margo, la deuxième plus âgée, ajoute une touche de glamour et de réalisme à la famille avec ses préoccupations plus terre-à-terre et son envie de romantisme. Gerry, le passionné de la nature, incarne l'innocence et la fascination émerveillée pour le monde qui l'entoure et va s'amuser à découvrir Corfou. Enfin, Leslie, souvent en retrait, se distingue par son amour pour les armes à feu et son côté rustique, offrant une nuance d'humour brut et de simplicité. Ensemble, ces personnalités divergentes et fortement attachantes forment un tableau de famille haut en couleur, où les querelles et les rires cohabitent. L'évolution de ces personnalités au fil des saisons constitue le cœur de la série, offrant aux spectateurs un aperçu de la croissance individuelle au sein d'une unité familiale aimante. Bien sûr, quatre saisons seraient redondantes si elles se concentraient uniquement sur l'intégration de cette famille britannique à Corfou. The Durrells"ne se contente pas de reposer sur son concept initial. Au fil des saisons, l'intrigue évolue, explorant toujours les relations familiales, les amours naissantes, et les défis de l'adolescence. Comme les enfants grandissent au cours de l'histoire, les thématiques varient selon eux. Bref, avec l'essence même de la vie méditerranéenne et un charme presque désuet, la série a conquis son public. Certains diront qu'il ne s'y passe rien, mais pourtant les personnages évoluent énormément. Certes, on n'a pas de coup d'état ou de tragédies fortes, mais on y trouve une simplicité et un tableau d'une famille solidaire sur fond de décor enchanteur. À la manière d'un Doc Martin, qui explore la vie quotidienne dans un petit village côtier, ou encore d'un All Creatures Great and Small, The Durrells se concentre sur les aspects simples de la vie, mais avec une famille des plus originales et un cadre pittoresque. On aime ses personnages, cet enthousiasme et parfois même, sa niaiserie. [bs_show url="the-durrells"] Les quatre saisons sont à retrouver sur arte.tv.

Fear– An unpleasant often strong emotion caused by anticipation or awareness of danger. We are not immune to fear. It comes to us like waves and is usually unwelcome. There are global fears such as the war in Ukraine, global warming, food shortages, death. Death of a loved one, or our own amount of time on this spinning globe. I will touch on some of that later, but today I want to tackle some fears that we ourselves can have control over to allow us to stretch outside our comfort zones, try new things, and find peace and joy in our lives. Fear stems from uncertainty and doubt. How do we face it? We have to sit with discomfort. “Never be afraid of not knowing, find out” Discomfort- make (someone) feel uneasy, anxious, or embarrassed The internet has become something that has made us more afraid than ever and extremely comfortable being more than an arms length away from coming face to face with our discomfort. Discomfort is why most of us never face our fears or step outside of our comfort zones. Think about it. Who wants to feel uneasy, anxious or embarrassed… nobody. The problem is when we avoid these feelings we create a bubble of safety around us that isolates us and keeps us fixed in our habits, patterns and zone of comfort. Let's look at an example of this. You get invited to a party, and at first you have every intention of going. You knew what you were going to wear, what to bring. You looked forward to seeing some friends you haven't connected with in a while. The day of the party comes and you suddenly think to yourself. “What if I don't know anyone there? What if nobody talks to me? Staying home and watching The Durrells in Corfu sounds amazing, I don't have to go. Nobody will miss me.” Now, I am not saying that a little couch introvert time isn't needed by all of us, but I am sure there have been situations where you wanted to attend an event, and discomfort or fear of the unknown held you back. In order to conquer and face our fear we must push past discomfort. It takes a leap of faith to delve into uncertainty… How do we deal with uncertainty? “The unknown is just something we don't know yet.” This statement is 100 percent fact. Uncertainty is just having doubts about the unknown. Not knowing something gives people anxiety, it fuels self doubt, and ultimately makes them feel self-conscious and uncomfortable. Think about it. If you know a subject very well, you would be happy to speak about it. Someone gives you a topic you know nothing about, and suddenly you are freaking out. All that is, is you learning about the topic! How incredibly powerful is that fact?! That you have the power to shed your fears by learning what you don't know. It is simple, yet something we overlook due to massive amount of distraction. Our minds have power over our joy and happiness, it just takes some discomfort getting there. Here are some personal examples of this… I decided to push Phil's and I's boundaries this year by signing us up for Improv Comedy Classes. Getting Phil to go was not an easy feat. He was ridiculously upset that I signed us up. He didn't want to be put on display. When I finally convinced him to go, he was miserable, and extremely anxious the entire two hours before we went, acting like a 10 year old that is being dragged to church. Once we arrived, he was fine. I even caught him smiling a couple times. The second class was the same, only this time I caught him laughing. Third class he was beginning to loosen up on stage, having more fun with it. Now he looks forward to our classes, and goes to shows every weekend! It is a new hobby he never would have discovered if he wasn't brave enough to try and learn this new skill, make new friends ands with his discomfort. He now knows the process. He knows people who are going to be there, and he is more confident because he is starting to understand improv and open up communication with others. I use Phil because he is a classic example of someone who was extremely uncomfortable with showing up for something new, BUT after going for a while, now loves it! Improv has since improved our communication with one another, we laugh and joke more, listen more, and has brought increased joy and playfulness back into our lives. Hence, why they are sponsoring this episode. Do you have a something like this in your life? Something you know you would love, but you avoid because of the discomfort or fear of going? How do we move past these feelings? I actually encourage you to ask for help on this one. Working up the nerve to do things alone can be intimidating, but I know there are people out there that probably feel the exact same way and would love to join you on your new fear busting journey. FRIENDS are the key to helping you overcome your fears. Try this… Grab a piece of paper or a journal and write down- A list of fears that you have. At least three activities or experiences you have always wanted to try but haven't due to discomfort. A lists of friends or family that would help you overcome this fear or complete something you want to do. Now comes the hard part of pushing past your discomfort and ASKING them to help you achieve the results you want which can look like- Having them do some research on the subject and explaining it to you. Asking them to listen as you talk openly about your fears to them. Asking them to go with you to a class or adventure so you don't have to go alone. I too need those people in my life to help me break past my comfort zones and face some anxieties and fear. For all of us will just require some vulnerability on your part asking for help, which is never easy. I promise you that if you sit with your discomfort a bit, you will find the root cause and possibly overcome it. Doing this will not only allow you to try something new, but will create a more meaningful relationships with that friend because they will feel honored that you asked them for help with this. Instant joy! “Sometimes happiness is not knowing the whole story” On the flip side of learning about your fears to become comfortable and more certain, there is also the possibility that you will never have understanding, or even want to know something about the larger questions of our existence. Death, uncertainty and what will the future bring cause pain and anxiety in all of us. In this case. Sitting with your uncertainty and accepting that everything will work out IS possible. It is when we are in a state of calm peace that the nagging uncertainty removes itself from our lives and we become open to possibilities and not worry about what we can't control. How do we accomplish this? For me, it was through self care. Self care in the form of movement, meditation, therapy, shadow work. This is all very healing work, and the goal of all of it is to find stillness which leads to happiness because you are pulling yourself into the present moment. It is why I love teaching meditation with my students. I know what that restlessness feels like, and it isn't pretty. You feel trapped in it and it feels endless. It creates negative emotions, judgement, fear, and of course… uncertainty, discomfort and doubt. If we can all learn to sit with our emotions and bring awareness to the surface, peace CAN be found. In the end…we have this one life, and that is a gift. We should soak in every minute of it and try and spread happiness. That joy starts within by sitting with discomfort. Recent Personal Experiences in Conquering Fear, Change, and Uncertainty I am on my own personal journey of exploring wishes, dreams, and experiences that I had either left aside in my younger years, or never stepped up to the plate to try. So often as adults life has influenced our opinions about what we LOVE to do. It becomes blurry, and habitual. We can sometimes forget the dreams we had when we were younger. Through deep meditation, and journaling work, almost a year later, and I now have my list of what truly fills my cup, and what is preprogrammed to look like it does. (But it doesn't… happy hour anyone?) After I had my list I began digging into my fears, and traumas. There was a ton of discomfort through that process, but it uncovered a lot for me and is leading me to finding more joy, peace and meaning in my life. It is opening up doors to allow me pursue my passion of helping others lead their lives from their hearts. If you are ready to grow, break some boundaries, and open your heart to lead your life with joy feel free to ask me about my classes or my new Marta on the Move Mentorship program. I would love to hear about something you were fearful or uncomfortable with that you pushed past and overcame. Send me an email and tell me all about it for inspiration

Books and TV series have kept me sane during the past few years. Two series that pop into mind are The Durrells in Corfu and, more recently, Around the World in 80 Days. As the credits rolled by, I smiled when I saw Steve Barron's name pop up as episode director multiple times. My mind drifted back to the 80s when I'd been lucky enough to work on a few music videos Steve directed out of Limelight Production in Los Angeles. Steve was one of the good guys, a gentleman who didn't scream or pout, and due to his background in the camera department, he understood and appreciated film crews.  Steve Barron started in films as a camera assistant on epic productions such as Richard Donner's Superman, Richard Attenborough's A Bridge Too Far and Ridley Scott's The Duellists. He began directing what were known in the UK as promotional videos in the early eighties for bands such as The Jam, Human League, and Adam & the Ants.  In 1982 he conceived and directed the award-winning Billie-Jean music video, the first single from Michael Jackson's incredible Thriller album. More seminal videos followed, and at the 1986 MTV Awards, Steve's work was acknowledged when Dire Straits' Money for Nothing won Best Video, and A-Ha's Take On Me was awarded Best Director.  Steve's cult classic film Electric Dreams was released in 1984. His second film, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1986), stunned the industry by becoming the first independent feature to break the $100 million theatrical mark. Steve directed other features, including Coneheads, Rat, Mike Bassett: England Manager, and TV network mega-series Merlin, Arabian Nights, Dreamkeeper, and Treasure Island, all garnering him a slew of awards, including 27 Emmy nominations, 5 Gold Globe nominations, and a DGA nod.Oh, and he's also a hemp farmer!Steve Barron IMDBEGG N CHIPS & BILLIE JEANAround the World in 80 DaysThe Durrells in CorfuSupport the show (https://paypal.me/TheBookshopPodcast?locale.x=en_US)

Leslie Caron is an award-winning actress and dancer who starred in some of the most memorable films of Hollywood's golden age including An American in Paris and Gigi. Leslie was first cast away on Desert Island Discs in 1956 when she was 25, and her return, nearly 66 years later, marks the greatest gap between appearances in the programme's 80-year history. She was born in Paris in 1931 and started ballet lessons at 11 to please her mother, a dancer herself who had performed on Broadway. Her early childhood was marred by the war and growing up in occupied Paris, but when she was 16 she joined Roland Petit's Ballets des Champs-Elysées which opened up a new world of possibility. A year later she was spotted during a performance by a member of the audience - Gene Kelly. He lobbied MGM to cast her as his leading lady in An American in Paris, which launched her Hollywood career. Leslie played the tile role in Gigi both on stage in London in a production directed by Peter Hall, who she married, and in the feature film directed by Vincente Minelli. The film won all nine of its nominations at the 1959 Academy Awards – a record at the time. Leslie went on to star in the L-Shaped Room and later played roles in the films Chocolat and Damage. In 2006 she won an Emmy Award for her part in the television series Law and Order: Special Victims Unit. More recently she was on our TV screens playing the Countess Mavrodaki in the drama series The Durrells. She was awarded the Commandeur de la Légion d'honneur in 2013 and the JF Kennedy Gold Medal in the Arts two years later. Leslie lives in London and describes herself as “almost retired.” Presenter Lauren Laverne Producer Paula McGinley

After getting her degree in the biological sciences, she was working for Dairy Queen corporate offices. She really thought she was going to be heading down that path. A chance encounter with a news director helped shape the course of her future. Starting on the West coast as a weather reporter, she eventually received a call from The Weather Channel. She isn't sure how they found out about her, but she took the job and relocated to Atlanta, Georgia. After a time, she thought she would be taking a new role in Florida.

As a divorced mother of two, she juggled work, raising her daughters, going to school and getting her certification. She spent the rest of her career as a news and weather anchor for WSB-TV, retiring just a couple years ago. Though she has hung up her Doppler Radar, she is eyeing a possible future as a patient advocate. However, before that, she has a few trips she'd like to go on and some fun to be had. Following the interivew, Karen hung out as Walt began his review of another horrible movie he was forced to watch. Next, Alan and Walt each shared a pair of crazy news items. And, as always, they all wrapped up with the entertainment segment, letting us know what they have been watching, reading and listening to.

He re-watched, A Fish Called Wanda, Dave, Pale Rider and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Each of those movies is highly recommended. Alan continues to watch the weekly drops of, Loki, and has not yet been disappointed. As to the YouTube channels, he watched Ashleigh Burton react to Thor, Casablanca, A League of Their Own, Snatch and Ferris Beuller's Day Off. The Channel, Popcorn in Bed, reacted to Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Pulp Fiction, Independence Day, Arrival and Top Gun. Finally, he always catches The Daily Doug. Karen loved the series, Chuck. She also his hooked on British shows and suggests, Victoria, The Crown, Endeavor, Shetland, Midummer Murders, Outlander, The Durrells of Corfu, Grantchester and Zen. READING Walt and Alan and both trying to finish the Star Trek behind-the-scenes book they both have. Karen just finished, "The Art of Power," by John Meacham, a book about Thomas Jefferson.

If you’ve seen The Durrells in Corfu, you’ll undoubtedly remember the slightly dotty daughter in the series, Margo. When I finished the show (a slightly heartbreaking moment – I hope they release a new season in the future!), I was exceptionally curious about what happened next for the family. Though the show offers a fictionalized account of the Durrells’ lives, the characters were based on real people. To think of them in the clutches of World War II… For episode 75 of the Vocabbett podcast, I share more about the remarkable life of Margo Durrell.

Obelisk och Olympia press gav ut böcker ingen annan vågade röra. Några blev odödliga klassiker. Gabriella Håkansson berättar den vilda historien om Parisförlagen som förändrade litteraturhistorien.  ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Först publicerad 2017. William S Burroughs, Samuel Beckett, Jean Genet, Henry Miller och James Joyce: alla har de en sak gemensamt de har publicerat sig på ett obskyrt litet förlag i Paris, som under 1950-talet gav ut engelskspråkig litteratur i små gröna pocketböcker i serien Travellers Companion. Bakom den gemytliga rubriken dolde sig all den litteratur som inga andra förlag i Europa eller USA ville ta i med tång, av rädsla för att bli stämda. Allt började med att den brittiske dandyn Jack Kahane 1914 trampade på en landmina i Ypern (Ieper) i Belgien och entledigades från sin krigstjänstgöring. Under konvalescensen träffade han sin fru, fransyskan Marcelle Girodias, flyttade till Paris och började skriva böcker. Kahanes produktion var medelmåttig och innehöll lite för många erotiska anspelningar för att de engelska biblioteken skulle känna sig bekväma, så böckerna plockades bort och han fick dåligt rykte. Samtidigt började romanerna efterfrågas i bokhandeln. Kahane fick en insikt. Minsta inslag av erotik och den mest mediokra bok börjar sälja. I USA och England rådde fortfarande ålderdomliga censurlagar som satte stopp för allt som uppfattades som moraliskt eller erotiskt utmanande, men i Frankrike var situationen en annan, och nu hade Kahane fått en affärsidé. Han registrerade en fransk firma under namnet Obelisk Press och hyrde sunkig kontorslokal på vänstra stranden, nu gällde det bara att hitta sexuellt frispråkiga författare. Det var lättare sagt än gjort. I slutet av 20-talet kontaktar Kahane Sylvia Beach på bokhandeln Shakespeare & Co och får henne att förmedla kontakt med James Joyce, som några år tidigare gjort skandalsuccé på hennes förlag med den frispråkiga Ulysses. Hade Joyce möjligen något mer som kunde publiceras? Det hade han. Experimentboken Haveth Childers Everywhere blev Kahanes första framgångsrika publikation, snabbt åtföljd av Radcliffe Halls lesbiska roman Ensamhetens brunn, som precis blivit förbjuden i England. Även D H Lawrences indragna Lady Chatterleys älskare lades till på utgivningslistan, och nu rullade det på. Kahane fick snabbt rykte om sig att ge ut sånt som ingen annan vågade publicera, och snart köade folk utanför kontoret. Först ut var en helt okänd författare som hette Henry Miller och hade skrivit en bok med en titel som lät som något som handlade om cancer. Det var Kräftans vändkrets. Snart hade även hans vänner Anaïs Nin och Lawrence Durrell fått manus antagna och Kahane var på banan, men när Kräftans vändkrets efter många turer väl skulle ut, ja, då hade Kahane slut på pengar. Ett mönster som skulle komma att upprepa sig. Anaïs Nin visade handlingskraft och finansierade via sin psykoanalytiker Otto Rank trycket av både Millers och Durrells böcker. Som en gentjänst betalade sedan Durrell tryckningen av hennes bok Incest. Sedan hann inte Kahane ge ut mer. Han dog oväntat 1939 vid bara 52-års ålder. Och med det kunde allt ha tagit slut. Det gjorde det inte. Hans 27-årige son Maurice Girodias hade hjälpt pappa på förlaget sedan han var liten, och när andra världskriget var över bestämde han sig för att blåsa liv i verksamheten igen. Nu skulle kampen för den sexuella frispråkigheten stegras ytterligare. Han började med att byta förlagsnamn till Olympia Press och kontaktade sedan faderns gamla författare för att sondera terrängen. Miller skickar in Plexus men sedan var det stopp, så Girodias låter översätta alla franska erotiska böcker han hittar; Genet, Apollinaire, de Sade, Bataille, Queaneau, Reage men det räcker inte, läsarna går inte igång på litterär erotika, de vill ha hederlig porr som kan läsas med vänsterhanden. Girodias gör nu ett genidrag. Han kontaktar klicken kring avantagardetidskriften Merlin som som var de som hade översatt de franska erotiska böckerna, och frågar om de kan tänka sig att börja skriva pornografi istället. Naturligtvis under pseudonym, och gärna med lite kinky inslag. På så vis skulle de kunna finansiera sin tidskrift. Det vill de gärna. Merlin består av ett gäng jazzdansande, amfetaminsnortande utlänningar av båda könen, ledda av författaren Alexander Trocchi och finansierade av amerikanskan Jane Lougee. Kvinnor som män tar sig an uppgiften med förtjusning, och nu börjar Olympia Press glanstid. Merlin flyttar in på kontoret och redaktionen blir förlagets hårda kärna av redaktörer, sekreterare, korrekturläsare och allmänna hangaroaunds. Ur tryckpressarna spottas heta titlar som Tender was my flesh och The Loins of Amon. Olympia Press billiga gröna pocketböcker förses med myndigheternas varning att de inte får säljas i England eller USA, och sprids sedan till turister, matroser, soldater och pornografer som smugglar dem över gränserna en masse. Inkomsterna flödar, men Girodias är ännu värre än sin far vad gäller det ekonomiska. Han vägrar skriva kontrakt och betalar ut royalties lite när det passar. Författarna får köa utanför hans kontor när han är på gott humör, och hoppas på det bästa. Inte heller för han bok över hur många utgåvor han trycker. Ibland ger han ut en censurerad version för bokhandeln, och en annan för illegal spridning. Allt detta fungerar till en början väl med Merlins glada pornografer, men det går inte med riktiga författare som J.P. Donleavy och Vladimir Nabokov. De rasar och drar honom inför rätta. Inte heller går det att betala skatt med vänsterhanden. Bara några år in på det nya äventyret är Maurice Girodias skuldsatt, belånad och åtalad för såväl brott mot obscenitetslagarna som obetalda royalties. Och så här håller det på. Mygel, skulder, porr, åtal allt i en eskalerande spiral, tills Girodias mot slutet av sextiotalet tröttnar på myndigheternas hetsjakt och författarnas pengatjat, och flyttar till USA för att starta ett amerikanskt Olympia Press. Där går det ännu sämre. Valerie Solanas, som författaren heter, går tre kvarter bort och skjuter Andy Warhol istället. Förläggaren som hela sitt liv bekämpat censuren verkar ha grävt sin egen grav. Den nya tidens libertiner behövde inte längre hans förlag, och när han 1968 struntar i att publicera en av sina nya författare som det är bestämt, så går hon upp på kontoret för att skjuta honom. Girodias är inte på plats och Valerie Solanas, som författaren heter, går tre kvarter bort och skjuter Andy Warhol istället. Girodias är inte sen att utnyttja publiciteten och får snabbt iväg SCUM-manifestet till tryck, det blir hans sista viktiga utgivning, innan allt går utför i ett träsk av hårdporr, scientologi och boxningsböcker. Hans livshistoria kan låta tragisk, men den ledde faktiskt fram till en av 1900-talets stora landvinningar: avskaffandet av censuren. De många och långa rättsprocesserna Girodias drogs inför och tappert utkämpade blev prejudicerande, och satte stopp för en puritanism som präglat bokbranschen i flera hundra år. Vi har familjen Kahane/Girodias att tacka för den frihet litteraturen åtnjuter idag. Och för att banbrytande böcker som Millers Kräftans vändkrets, Burroughs Den nakna lunchen, Trocchis Young Adam och Nabokovs Lolita överhuvudtaget kom i tryck. Och de gröna pocketböckerna som på 50-talet kostade några kronor när de kom ut, betingar idag skyhöga priser på den antikvariska marknaden. Samlarna dammsuger gamla lumplådor och porraffärer för att hitta kvarglömda Olympia Press, och granskar sedan böckernas omslag med lupp för att avgöra vilken utgåva det kan röra sig om. Finns påklistrade prislappar, myndighetsstämplar och korrekta tryckorter där, kan de ha stött på en äkta förstautgåva. Är det någon av klassikerna, som till exempel Lolita kan de räkna med att vara 100 000 kronor rikare. Maurice Girodias dör utblottad och bitter 1990 och begravs på Père-Lachaisekyrkogården i Paris. På hans gravsten låter brodern Eric Kahane gravera Une journée sur la Terre. En dag på jorden. Gabriella Håkansson, författare Litteratur John de St Jorre Venus Bound.

Usually on Material Matters I speak to a combination of designers, architects, artists or makers. This episode is a little bit different. Steve Barron is a multi-award winning movie and television director, who made his name in the eighties with a slew of iconic videos featuring artists such as: Michael Jackson, Dire Straits, A-ha, Madonna, Paul McCartney, David Bowie and The Jam to name just a few. Subsequently, he segued into films – directing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Coneheads, and Mike Bassett: England manager – as well as the small screen, with recent credits including The Durrells on the BBC. However, in 2016 he established Margent Farm on a 53-acre site in the Cambridgeshire countryside where he grows hemp – a rather magical but misunderstood crop, which has an array of possible uses and the potential to change all our lives for the better. Not only that but he used the crop as the key material to build his own farm house, designed by Practice Architecture.In this episode we talk about: deciding to farm hemp in the first instance; its potential as a building material, in cooking, and for the fashion world; persuading the government of hemp’s import; why it should not be confused with Marijuana; Steve’s early career working with the likes of A-ha; and making the groundbreaking Billie Jean video with a certain Michael Jackson. It’s eclectic stuff.You can find out more about Margent Farm hereAnd you can sign up to my newsletter here Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/materialmatters?fan_landing=true)

Note from your cohosts: This week's episode is coming to you from several weeks ago, so there's a noteworthy lack of commentary about these, our ever changing modern times! In lieu of begging for 5-star reviews, please focus your efforts on a much more worthwhile cause and join us in donating and learning how you can help at the following links: https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/# https://secure.actblue.com/donate/bailfundsgeorge_floyd?refcode=cwg Have you done that? Great! Now if what you need is some escapist tv, we fortuitously chose this week to talk about The Durrells in Corfu. This show may or may not be a prequel to Mamma Mia (yes we know there already is a prequel), and what it lacks in song and dance numbers it makes up for in sass and men that are both Hot and Tall.

Today's podcast deviates from my usual vocabulary-boosting stories to address the latest updates regarding COVID-19 and school closures — specifically, one big mistake I see people making! When we first learned about the closures, many of us thought they would last for two weeks. And because they've been expanding incrementally, many of us have continued with the same plan and mindset — even though circumstances have radically changed. In many states, students won't be returning at all before summer break.  Have you re-evaluated your plan in light of the changing circumstances? -- Referenced in this episode:  The Durrells in Corfu (this is an affiliate link, which means I may earn a small commission from Amazon at no additional cost to you) Tweet

*Warning: This episode contains spoilers for Episode One of Season Four of *The Durrells In Corfu. Simon Nye, the creator and head writer of The Durrells In Corfu, doesn’t see Gerald Durrell’s books as necessarily sacrosanct, but his fictionalized family is awfully similar to the Durrells’ actual four years in Greece. Now, as the fourth and final season begins, Nye joins us for a conversation exploring the family’s journey from page to screen, with a special preview of what remains for everyone’s favorite Bournemouth Britons in sunny exile overseas.

Dominic Green talks to Simon Nye, who adapted the memoir-novels of Gerald Durrell into the television series ‘The Durrells of Corfu'.

The dashingly charming Spiros Halikiopoulos is based on a real-life friend of the actual Durrell family during their time on the island of Corfu.

Lapaine’s role as Hugh on this season of The Durrells in Corfu is more of the same, but he explains how the allure of the Durrell family is all too real for this Australian actor. Will Louisa head back to England with Hugh? Lapaine isn’t saying.

The Total Tutor Neil Haley will interview David Morrissey of Starz's The Missing. One of TV's most gripping thrillers, “The Missing” returns with a new case, new characters and a new location. The series follows Sam and Gemma played by David Morrissey (“The Walking Dead,” “Extant”) and Keeley Hawes (“Line of Duty,” “The Casual Vacancy,” “The Durrells”), whose daughter Alice went missing in 2003. In 2014, a young British woman stumbles through the streets of her German hometown and collapses. Her name is Alice Webster, played by newcomer Abigail Hardingham (Nina Forever), and she has been missing for 11 years. Alice's return sends shockwaves through the small community. Told in dual timelines, flitting between 2014 and the present day, we follow Alice's family as they are thrown back into a turmoil that threatens to tear them apart at the seams. When French missing person's detective, Julien Baptiste, played by Tchéky Karyo (Goldeneye, The Patriot), races across Europe to pursue a 12-year-old case that he never let die, we begin to explore the murky morality and emotional complexity of what happens when the missing child you've been longing to return actually comes back. The cast also includes Roger Allam (“Endeavour,” “Tamara Drewe”), Laura Fraser (“Breaking Bad,” “Peter & Wendy,” “One of Us”), Anastasia Hille (Snow White and the Huntsman, “Prey”), Lia Williams (“The Crown,” “The Foreigner”), Jake Davies (“X + Y,” “Yen”), Florian Bartholomäi (“Deutschland 83,” Smaragdgrün, “Tatort-Taxi nach Leipzig”), Daniel Ezra (“Murdered by My Boyfriend,” Blood Cells).
