Our summer world tour continues — and for Stop 2, we're trading the warm Caribbean rhythms of Puerto Rico for something entirely different: the misty fjords, ancient forests, and hauntingly beautiful folk music of Norway. In this episode, we explore Norway's deep folk music roots, from the Norse storytelling tradition to the extraordinary sound of the Hardanger fiddle — an instrument that doesn't just play a melody but seems to fill the air around it. We also talk about the athletic halling dance, the improvised poetry of the stev, and how composer Edvard Grieg (the very first composer we ever featured on this podcast, back in Episode 2) deliberately wove Norwegian folk traditions into classical music that eventually reached concert halls around the world. Norway's folk music survived centuries of foreign rule because ordinary people held onto it tightly. That's a story worth hearing. What We Cover in This Episode Norway's geography and why the landscape shaped its music The Norse people, the Vikings, and the rich storytelling tradition behind Norwegian folk music How folk music became an act of cultural survival during centuries of Danish and Swedish rule The Hardanger fiddle — what makes it unlike almost any other instrument in the world (hint: it has strings you never touch) Dance forms of Norwegian folk music: the springar and the halling The stev — improvised sung poetry, and how it connects to the décima tradition we heard in Puerto Rico Edvard Grieg and how he translated Norwegian folk music into classical compositions heard around the world How Norwegian folk traditions are being carried forward by younger musicians today Free Downloads for This Episode

Why have I gathered you all here today? This Gun in My Hand!Show Notes:1. Charters and Caldicott were two minor characters in Hitchcock's 1938 film The Lady Vanishes. Played by the actors Basil Radford and Naunton Wayne, the pair were popular enough to get three films of their own, though not with Hitchcock. After creative differences with the film studio in 1946, the actors appeared as similar characters with different names in seven other films and five BBC radio productions. A 1985 BBC television series rebooted Charters and Caldicott with new actors.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charters_and_Caldicott2. “Sir, a woman has been murdered in your house, therefore it follows there must be a murderer.” That line is from a teaser for an actual British police procedural show. They use it in a promo on almost every dvd for Acorn TV and the dullness of it kills me every time.Credits:Music in this episode came from these public domain films:The Sun Sets at Dawn (1950), and Too Late for Tears (1949, aka Killer Bait).

This week on Inside Quotes, Jeremy and Jonathan revisit the 1991 comedy classic Father of the Bride starring Steve Martin, Diane Keaton, and Martin Short. We talk about what makes this movie such a comfort watch, why Steve Martin absolutely carries the chaos of this film, and whether Father of the Bride truly deserves “staple movie” status. Along the way we dive into the movie's music, set design, memorable characters, behind-the-scenes trivia, remakes, and Steve Martin's legendary filmography. Oh… and Jonathan got married?!?!?! We're also trying out a brand new format for Inside Quotes! From now on, we're putting every movie through the ultimate movie test to decide once and for all… Is it actually a staple?

Die ehemalige Tänzerin Paloma Selma musste ihre Karriere wegen eines Bühnenunfalls vorzeitig beenden. Seither setzt sich dafür ein, Kultur und soziale Arbeit zu verbinden: als Gründerin des Surprise-Strassenchors ebenso wie als Leiterin des Basler Tanzfests. Wer aus eigener Erfahrung weiss, wie sich Brüche im Leben anfühlen, hat mehr Verständnis für Menschen in schwierigen Situationen, sagt Paloma Selma. Sie wuchs in der spanischen Hafenstadt Valencia auf und verliess ihre Heimat schon in jungen Jahren, um professionelle Tänzerin zu werden. Nach ersten Engagements in Bonn und Berlin kam sie 2001 nach Basel, um in der Compagnie von Richard Wherlock zu tanzen. Auf dem Höhepunkt ihrer Karriere riss während einer Vorstellung eine Sehne in ihrem Fuss. Danach sei sie nicht nur körperlich, sondern auch seelisch eine Weile verletzt gewesen, sagt Paloma Selma im Rückblick. Es fiel ihr nicht leicht, ihre Identität als Tänzerin aufzugeben, doch dann fand sie einen neuen Weg, indem sie sich für die Verbindung von Kultur und Sozialem einsetzte. In «Musik für einen Gast» erzählt sie von ihrem Engagement für das Basler Tanzfest und für den «Surprise-Strassenchor», den sie vor rund 20 Jahren gegründet hat. Und sie erklärt am Beispiel ihrer Musikwünsche, was auf Spanisch «Duende» bedeutet. Die Musiktitel: - Fréderic Chopin: Nocturne Es-Dur op. 9 Nr. 2 (Lars Vogt, Klavier) - Irene Cara: Fame - Camarón de la Isla, Paco de Lucía & Tomatito: Como el agua - Edvard Grieg: Åses Tod, aus Peer Gynt (Estonian National Symphony Orchestra; Paavo Järvi, Leitung) - Miriam Makeba: Malaika - Celia Cruz: La vida es un carnaval

Can you believe the world's most famous music is 3,000 years old? Not necessarily from the first note written, but from the idea that created it. In this episode we cross paths with Thomas Edison, Stanley Kubrick, Walt Disney, The Lone Ranger, Richard Strauss, Johannes Brahms, Charles Darwin, The Who, Edvard Grieg, Peer Gynt, Freidrich Schiller and Friedrich Nietzche and many more.
Trolls in Scandinavian folklore can be a little different from what’s imagined in the rest of the world. We begin our show with a montage of clips from recent movies, Trollhunter (2010), Troll (2022), and Troll 2 (2025) — the latter two being Netflix productions that have rekindled interest in the subject while reimagining trollsin a way that does not always conform to the folklore. While all Scandinavian countries have their share of troll lore, this episode focuses specifically on Norway, the country with the most compelling collection of troll folklore. The first portion of our show looks at the Norwegian writer Henrik Ibsen’s play along with incidental music composed for the play by his associate Edvard Grieg. Introducing this topic is a clip from the 1970 musical Song of Norway, a fanciful Edvard Grieg biopic that garnered particularly bad reviews. We learn a bit about why Grieg hated his well-known “Hall of the Mountain King,” a composition which accompanies Peer Gynt’s encounter with trolls inside a mountain in the Dovre mountain chain. We also learn what Ibsen hoped to achieve in telling the story of his antihero Peer Gynt, and how he wrestled with the movement known in Norway as Romantic Nationalism. Next we look at two figures integral to this movement, Peter Christen Asbjørnsen and Jørgen Moe, a pair of folktale collectors often described as the “Brothers Grimm of Norway.” Their 1841 publication, Norwegian Folk-Tales, along with updated volumes published in 1844, 1845, and 1871, provide most all the troll tales with examine in this episode. An exception to this is a book authored by Asbjørnsen alone, High Mountain Scenes, volume 2, Reindeer Hunt at Rondane. Published sometime before 1846, it’s the only volume referencing tales told about Peer Gynt, those being very loosely represented in Ibsen’s play. Asbjørnsen & Moe’s “Norwegian Folk Tales” The first of these we retell concerns a creature known as “the Bøyg,” something referred to as a type of troll in the story is described more as a giant serpent of sorts. We follow this with more Peer Gynt episodes involving male trolls flirting with human females and a troll poking his enormous nose through a cabin window and suffering the consequences inflicted by Gynt. The final story, “The Cat on the Dovre-Mountain,” takes place at Christmas, a time when troll encounters are particularly prevalent, and involves Gynt outsmarting a group of bothersome trolls via a peculiar stratagem. Next, we run through some lesser-known details of the best-known troll tale “The Three Billygoats Gruff.” We follow this with another well-known (in Norway) story, “The Boy Who Had an Eating Match with a Troll.” It involves a youth outwitting a troll with a particularly gruesome ruse It was familiar enough to Norwegian audiences to be referenced in Trollhunter. Next we look at a character Askeladden, who is pitted against trolls in several of Asbjørnsen & Moe's stories. He’s usually describing the good-for-nothing youngest brother of a trio, an underdog who surprisingly achieves great things. His name (literally “ash lad”) referenes his stay-at home habits, in particular, sitting by the hearth playing in the ashes. We learn of several characters with related names and habits in Scandinavian literature and a more insultingly rude nickname for such characters, one which Asbjørnsen & Moe chose to censor from their stories. Theodor Kittlesen, “Troll Pondering How Old iIt Is” (1911) Our next troll tale, “The Lads who Met the Trolls in the Hedale Woods,” gives us particularly monstrous trio of trolls sharing a single eyeball. While this is atypical, we also encounter here the common trope of trolls sniffing the air for “Christian blood,” a suggestion that their kind of an older pre-Christian order. A reference to trolls using magic is also contained in this story, something we’ll run into in other tales. We then hear some clips from a couple of Asbjørnsen & Moe-inspired films, the 2017 Norwegian film Ash Lad: In the Hall of the Mountain King and its 2019 follow-up, The Ash Lad: In Search of the Golden Castle. The “Golden Castle” in Norwegian film title and the title of the relevant Asbjørnsen & Moe story is “Soria Moria Castle.” This one also features trolls, but in a peripheral role. It’s a longer legend quest rather than a short folk tale in which we encounter three multi-headed trolls holding human women captive in three different castles. Our last story, “The Hen is Trips in the Mountain,” takes its weird title from a strange phrase uttered to open a door into a mountain, like “Open Sesame.” When a young woman enters theis particular mountain looking for a lost hen, she meets an unpleasant end, as does her younger sister, but when the youngest of the three enters, she manages not to repeat the mistakes of her two siblings and later discovers that trolls can explode when touched by the first rays of dawn (as well as turning to stone, another common folklore trope). We wrap up the show with some interesting stats regarding the fascination trolls exert over the heavy metal subculture. Theodor Kittlesen, “Mountain Troll” (1887)

Tobias Stückelberger ist ein leidenschaftlicher Chorleiter. Das Hören ist ihm dabei genauso wichtig wie das Singen selbst. Die Grundlage für gute Chorarbeit, so sagt er im Gespräch, bestehe aber darin, dem Chor ein Zuhause zu bieten. Tobias Stückelberger stammt aus einer Pfarrersfamilie und wächst in der Baselbieter Gemeinde Therwil auf. Die Predigten seiner Mutter, zu denen er als Kind mitgenommen wurden, bringen ihn früh in Berührung mit Kirchenmusik. Er schliesst sich dem Kinderchor der Gemeinde an und wechselt mit zehn Jahren zur Knabenkantorei Basel. Mittlerweile ist Tobias Stückelberger 32 Jahre alt und schaut bereits auf eine intensive Zeit als Chorleiter zurück. Nach einem Studium in Basel wird er Assistent der Leiterin des «Norwegian Soloist Choir» Grete Pedersen in Oslo, wo er wesentliche Impulse für seine Arbeit bekommt und gleichzeitig den Master macht. Und nach einer weiteren Station in Südafrika als Leiter des Chores der «Drakensberg Boys Choir School» kehrt er in die Schweiz zurück, wo er nun die vielen internationalen Einflüsse in seine Arbeit als Leiter der Solothurner Singknaben und anderer Chorprojekte im Raum Basel einfliessen lässt. Von seiner Liebe zur Chormusik und seiner Art zu arbeiten, von einer unglaublichen Begegnung in Südafrika und einer darauffolgenden Reise nach London, von seiner aktuellen Arbeit bei den Solothurner Singknaben und einem nicht wirklich geplanten Erfolg als Dominospieler erzählt Tobias Stückelberger im Gespräch mit Gastgeber Michael Luisier.

Neste episódio do podcast filosófico da Nova Acrópole, Pedro Guimarães conversa com a professora Erika Kalvelage sobre a obra A Vida da Vida, de Edgar Morin. A partir de uma visão integradora e profunda, o autor propõe refletir sobre a complexidade da vida, sua constante transformação e os laços que unem todos os seres. O diálogo aborda a importância da consciência de unidade, da humildade filosófica e do reconhecimento de que o Ser Humano é parte da Natureza e influencia — e é influenciado — pelo todo. A partir dessa compreensão, é possível viver de forma mais plena, fraterna e responsável. O Ser Humano e o cosmos são unidades funcionais da Natureza. O organismo humano funciona de forma unitária, cada célula, cada órgão cumpre sua função de acordo com sua natureza e em benefício do todo que participa. O mesmo ocorre com os demais elementos do cosmos que possuem uma individualidade, mas cumprem sua função em benefício do todo. Participantes: Erika Kalvelage e Pedro Guimarães Trilha Sonora: Opus nº12 Arrieta, de Edvard Grieg
