Chapter 30 - In Which Phileas Fogg Simply Does His Duty Chapter 31 - In Which Fix, the Detective, Considerably Furthers the Interests of Phileas FoggFogg doing his duty sounds routine. In this context it is anything but.Chapter 30 gives us a side of Phileas Fogg that the whole book has been quietly building toward - and it's worth the wait. Then Chapter 31 has Fix, of all people, doing something that actually helps Fogg. The detective who has been a thorn in this journey's side for thousands of miles makes a choice in this one that changes everything.We are very close to the end now.

"Around the World in Seventy-Two Days" is a captivating true account by American journalist Nellie Bly, who embarked on a daring journey in 1889 to challenge the fictional adventure depicted in Jules Verne's "Around the World in Eighty Days." Armed with just one dress and a handbag, Bly's travels were reported back to eager readers, showcasing her determination and pioneering spirit. This remarkable tale of courage and resilience resonates today, highlighting the relentless pursuit of dreams and the breaking of societal norms. Bly's journey not only entertains but also inspires, reminding listeners of the power of perseverance and the spirit of exploration that transcends time.
"Around the World in Eighty Days" is a classic adventure novel by Jules Verne that follows the meticulous Phileas Fogg and his French valet Passepartout as they embark on a daring journey to circumnavigate the globe in just eighty days, all for a wager of £20,000. This tale of determination and ingenuity highlights themes of time, commitment, and the spirit of adventure, making it a timeless exploration of human ambition. Verne's vivid storytelling and the challenges faced by the protagonists resonate today, reminding us of the thrill of pushing boundaries and the importance of perseverance in the face of obstacles.
Chapter 28 - In Which Passepartout Does Not Succeed in Making Anybody Listen to Reason Chapter 29 - In Which Certain Incidents Are Narrated Which Are Only to Be Met With on American RailroadsPassepartout has something important to say and absolutely nobody wants to hear it.Chapter 28 is a masterclass in frustration - our man can see exactly what's coming and cannot get a single person to take him seriously, which is both very funny and increasingly alarming. Then Chapter 29 delivers on the promise of that title in the most Verne way possible. "Certain incidents only to be met with on American railroads" is doing a lot of work as a description, and the chapter earns every bit of it.This is peak adventure territory.

Chapter 26 - In Which Phileas Fogg and Party Travel by the Pacific RailroadChapter 27 - In Which Passepartout Undergoes, at a Speed of Twenty Miles an Hour, a Course of Mormon HistoryAmerica by rail, and Verne is clearly delighted to be writing it.Chapter 26 puts the whole party on the Pacific Railroad - the transcontinental line that was, at the time this book was written, one of the genuine wonders of the modern world, and Verne treats it as such. Then Chapter 27 gives Passepartout a captive audience situation he did not ask for and cannot escape, courtesy of a very enthusiastic Mormon gentleman with a lot of history to cover and a long stretch of track to cover it on.Honestly Passepartout deserves a rest. He is not getting one. Let's go.You could've enjoyed this full episode early if you'd been a Patron!

Chapter 24 - In Which Mr. Fogg and Party Cross the Pacific OceanChapter 25 - In Which a Slight Glimpse Is Had of San FranciscoThe Pacific Ocean. The longest leg of the journey, and Verne dispatches it with characteristic efficiency.Chapter 24 gets the whole party across the Pacific in the way Fogg does everything - on schedule, without sentiment, and without once stopping to appreciate how remarkable it is that they're doing it. Then Chapter 25 lands us in San Francisco, and "a slight glimpse" is Verne being modest — there's enough happening in this chapter to make an impression.America. Final stretch.

Chapter 22 - In Which Passepartout Finds Out That, Even at the Antipodes, It Is Convenient to Have Some Money in One's PocketChapter 23 - In Which Passepartout's Nose Becomes Outrageously LongPassepartout learns a lesson that honestly should not have needed learning at this point in the journey.Chapter 22 finds him in a situation that a little money would have solved immediately — money he does not have — and Verne wrings every bit of comedy out of it that he possibly can. Then Chapter 23 has Passepartout's nose growing outrageously long, which is not literal but is somehow even better than if it were.

One of the sillier myths in our culture claims, “Most men don't read.” Sometimes this is a real trend. Other times it's wishful thinking because some folks don't want to share stories that boys and men want to read. Still, we can join to equip Christian fathers and other mentors for their unique God-given responsibility—to train kids to fight dragons. And for that mission, author James R. Hannibal rides back into the studio.

Hannibal Former stealth pilot James R. Hannibal is no stranger to secrets and adventure. He has been shot at, locked up by surface to air missiles, has hunted insurgents with drones, and was once chased by an armed terrorist down a winding German road. James is the Realm Award–winning author of the Lightraider Academy Trilogy series and a three-time winner of the Silver Falchion Award for Juvenile Fiction for his Section 13 series. He also stewards the discipleship learning adventure game Lightraiders. JamesRHannibal.com · Facebook · Instagram · X.com 1.

Meanwhile, the original for-profit Lightraiders is now a nonprofit. Reasons for the change, especially for culture-changing Christians. 2. Behold the goal of discipleship storytelling Dragons roam the land. We must learn to combat these creatures. Christians do need “just for fun” creative works that entertain. Yet we also need fiction that teaches truth, beauty, and goodness. Parents need both kinds of stories to help train future warriors. 3.

Com station Top question for listeners How did mentors and fantastical stories train you to fight dragons? Lavay Byrd enjoyed ep. 316 with Rebecca P. Minor Hi, all! I was just listening to the podcast, and all your discussions really hit what I've been feeling towards the sad explosion of overly sexualized/”porn” romantasty or even considered “regular fantasy” populating bookstores, while books like Lord of the Rings or even Christian Fantasy being treated as an afterthought. Listening to you all discuss such a sad reality made me think of how “overly-sensationalized” books are basically harmful drugs that's poisoning readers, more so among the teens and YA. I'm so glad to see writers like Rebecca P Minor and many others not only acknowledging the darkness for what it is, but also shining HOPE LIGHT and TRUTH that always overcome darkness through story. I also agree that we need more real characters with flaws and struggles, making choices both dark and good, while opening up a path for grace and redemption. Next on Fantastical Truth Our next episode will release after Realm Makers. So at this point, we haven't yet planned it! Perhaps you'll have an amazing idea. Or maybe we'll catch some trend or topic at the Expo that we never would have considered. Either way, we hope to see you next week in St. Louis.
Chapter 18 - In Which Phileas Fogg, Passepartout, and Fix Go Each About His BusinessChapter 19 - In Which Passepartout Takes a Too Great Interest in His Master, and What Comes of ItEveryone goes their separate ways in Hong Kong — and that is immediately a problem.Chapter 18 splits our three main players off in different directions, which sounds harmless enough until you remember that Fix has an agenda and Passepartout has absolutely no filter. Chapter 19 delivers on exactly what that title promises - our man gets a little too involved in making sure things go well for Fogg, and the consequences are the kind that are very funny to everyone except Passepartout.This might be one of my favorite episodes yet.

Chapter 16 - In Which Fix Does Not Seem to Understand in the Least What Is Said to HimChapter 17 - Showing What Happened on the Voyage from Singapore to Hong KongFix is having a rough stretch, and it is deeply enjoyable to watch.Chapter 16 puts him in a conversation where he is genuinely, completely lost - and the comedy of a professional detective being this thoroughly confused is something Verne clearly relished writing. Then Chapter 17 gets us on the water between Singapore and Hong Kong, and the voyage produces exactly the kind of unexpected development that keeps this story moving at such a relentless pace.New city, new complications.

That chapter 14 title might be the most perfectly Fogg sentence in the entire book.The man travels through one of the most breathtaking landscapes on earth and simply doesn't look up. Meanwhile the rest of us would be pressed against the window. It tells you everything you need to know about Phileas Fogg in eight words. Then Chapter 15 reminds us that his solution to virtually every problem on this journey is the same - and that he brought enough money to keep solving problems for a very long time.The clock is still ticking.

Chapter 12 - In Which Phileas Fogg and His Companions Venture Across the Indian Forests, and What Ensued Chapter 13 - In Which Passepartout Receives a New Proof That Fortune Favors the BraveWe're deep in India now, and Verne is having the time of his life.Fogg and company get off the beaten path and into the Indian forests — and when Verne says "and what ensued," he means it. What ensues is exactly the kind of thing that makes this book so much fun. Then Chapter 13 gives Passepartout a moment that is equal parts terrifying and triumphant, and honestly he earns every bit of it.Fortune does favor the brave. It also apparently favors the recklessly optimistic Frenchman who keeps stumbling into situations no reasonable person would survive.Enjoy!You could've enjoyed this full episode early if you'd been a Patron!

Chapter 10 - In Which Passepartout Is Only Too Glad to Get Off with the Loss of His ShoesChapter 11 - In Which Phileas Fogg Secures a Curious Means of Conveyance at a Fabulous PricePassepartout having a bad day is quickly becoming one of my favorite recurring themes in this book. Then Chapter 11 has Fogg doing what Fogg does best: identifying an impossible problem and solving it by throwing money at it in the most audacious way imaginable. The "curious means of conveyance" is exactly as entertaining as it sounds.This journey keeps getting better. Let's go.You could've enjoyed this full episode early if you'd been a Patron!

Then Chapter 9 gives us some breathing room as Fogg and company cross the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean, the kind of passage that should be uneventful but somehow never quite is when Fix is lurking around.Enjoy!You could've enjoyed this full episode early if you'd been a Patron!

Betting on everything is common these days, yet somehow Around The World In Eighty Days isn't on everyone's lips in 2026. And...it shouldn't be. You really feel that 3 hours. Michael Anderson's adventure comedy has posh David Niven circumnavigating the globe with his man-of-action valet, Cantinflas, and they have to do it in the title deadline...while being pursued by an man from Scotland Yard, who thinks he robbed a bank to fund this trip. Producer Mike Todd seemed to will this film into being finished...and then turned it into an award-winning blockbuster, helped immensely by a staggering amount of star cameos. Well, "famous" at the time. And there's young Shirley MacLaine too! So plop this 722nd edition of Have You Ever Seen right onto your device as I analyze Around The World In Eighty Days.

This week we delve into the life of Jules Verne, one of the world's most widely translated writers. The French author's "Extraordinary Voyages" include "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea", "Around the World in Eighty Days" and "Journey to the Center of the Earth". They continue to inspire fans of adventure stories, 120 years after his death in 1905. Many consider Verne to be one of the founding fathers of science fiction, while others see him as a visionary. Those familiar with the man himself speak of a tireless worker, with an unparalleled gift for making his ideas accessible to all and, with the help of his publisher Pierre-Jules Hetzel, a creator of imaginary worlds that are still part of the cultural landscape today.We discuss Verne's life and legacy with Jean Verne, his great-grandson; Céline Giton, author of "Jules Verne: an Extraordinary Animal Anthology"; Agnès Marcetteau-Paul, author of "The very curious Jules Verne"; and Pierre Stépanoff, director of the Maison Jules Verne in Amiens.
Tonight's reading comes from Around the World in Eighty Days. Written by Jules Verne and published in 1873, this book looks at a race against time as its characters aim to travel around the world in Eighty Days. My name is Teddy and I aim to help people everywhere get a good night's rest. Sleep is so important and my mission is to help you get the rest you need. The podcast is designed to play in the background while you slowly fall asleep.For those new to the podcast, it started from my own struggles with sleep. I wanted to create a resource for others facing similar challenges, and I'm so grateful for the amazing community we've built together.
In this podcast, we look at the episode Around the World in Eighty Days from the fifth radio series The episode, which was lost for many years, is a brilliant parody of Jules Verne's 1872 novel. The gang of three consider how the show encapsulates the atmosphere of 1950s Britain in the middle of the Cold War, discuss Kenneth Williams's incredible nine different roles and Hattie Jacques's six roles, and discuss in detail, how best to spend two and half months in Southend!

In the first of our new series of podcasts, we look at the radio episode The Wild Man of the Woods from the fourth radio series. The episode, which was released on Hancock's first LP This is Hancock, is considered by the Team as one of best of the radio episodes. The gang look at the number of roles played by Kenneth Williams, discuss the great performances from all of the cast, consider the beautiful language used by Galton and Simpson in this episode and review probably the most well known fluff in all of the radio episodes!Don't forget to rate and subscribe to the podcast.

I can remember it like it was yesterday. October, 1976, Sunday night, 7pm.I was already dressed for bed and I settled down in front of the TV.“When you wish upon a star” played from the speakers and the opening credits of “The Wonderful World of Disney” played across the screen. This was a normal Sunday night for me and it is the reason I am a huge Kurt Russell fan to this day.But this night of television was going to be very different.This night was going to change me forever.The music swelled and the screen was filled with stage curtains in blue, lights like waves splashed over the opening credits as the title card “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea” played across the screen.That movie started my love of Science Fiction. The next day I checked out the Jules Verne book from the library and when I finished that, I went back for more. The Journey to the Center of the Earth, From the Earth to the Moon, Mysterious Island, and Around the World in Eighty Days just to name a few.Since then, Science Fiction has been my go-to when I am reading, watching TV or films, and gaming.The Science Fiction Genre has been described as the “Literature of Ideas” and it's one of the most versatile and expansive genres in existence. From the fantasy landscapes of J.R,R, Tolkien, to the time travelling HG Wells, to the Ringworlds of Larry Niven and the depths of the human mind from Neil Stephenson, Sci-Fi can do it all.On this episode Christina, Mike and I are going to talk about the Sci-Fi genre and how to bring it to life in your roleplaying games.Christina, do you remember your first exposure to Sci-Fi?

Nellie Bly, a trailblazing journalist, adventurer, and advocate who shattered barriers and changed the face of journalism forever. Nellie Bly's life was an incredible journey marked by courage, tenacity, and a relentless pursuit of truth. In the late 19th century, Nellie Bly burst onto the scene with her groundbreaking investigative reporting. She fearlessly tackled societal issues, from exposing the grim conditions within mental institutions with her daring undercover work in the infamous Blackwell's Island asylum to her unparalleled around-the-world journey inspired by Jules Verne's "Around the World in Eighty Days." As we peel back the layers of Nellie Bly's life, we'll uncover her unyielding determination to break free from the conventional roles assigned to women during her time. From her early struggles to be taken seriously as a journalist to her record-breaking accomplishments that solidified her legacy, Nellie's story is one of audacity and empowerment.

Around the World in Eighty Days. Junior Deluxe Edition
**Carrie and I are taking a much needed holiday break. We will be back in Mid-January with all new episodes. Until then, we have some replay episodes. New Year's Eve is just a few days away and often we think of toasting with a glass of sparkly at the stroke of midnight. Historical fiction writer Rebecca Rosenberg's love of wine and sparkling wine in particular took her on travels to France to visit the great wine houses. And one of the things she discovered was the huge influence women had on the wine and sparkling wine industry. That inspired her to write Champagne Widows, a novel about Madame Clicquot, France's first lady of wine from Napoleon's time. In fact you may be toasting in 2023 with a glass of Clicquot wine as it is still one of the premier sparkling wines today. Rebecca will continue the series this coming March with the story of Madame Pommery who lived in the 1860s but changed the way we think of champagne today. Cheers everyone! ** Part of what drew us to this week's author, Rebecca Rosenberg, was the cool cover of her historical fiction novel, Champagne Widows. But as we read the book, we realized it was a pretty fascinating story of a young widow, Madame Clicquot, who essentially revolutionized champagne production in France during the Napoleonic years. Rebecaa has written two other historical fiction novels but Champagne Widows is the first in a series about the trailblazing women of wine in France in the 19th century. As a champagne historian, Rebecca decided these stories needed to be told. She gave us a lot of the background on champagne and Madame Clicquot when we spoke to her. And reading Rebecca's book right around New Year's gave Amy all the excuse she needed to splurge on a bottle of Veuve Clicquot Champagne and share it with me to toast in 2022.

**Carrie and I are taking a much needed holiday break. We will be back in Mid-January with all new episodes. Until then, we have some replay episodes. New Year's Eve is just a few days away and often we think of toasting with a glass of sparkly at the stroke of midnight. Historical fiction writer Rebecca Rosenberg's love of wine and sparkling wine in particular took her on travels to France to visit the great wine houses. And one of the things she discovered was the huge influence women had on the wine and sparkling wine industry. That inspired her to write Champagne Widows, a novel about Madame Clicquot, France's first lady of wine from Napoleon's time. In fact you may be toasting in 2023 with a glass of Clicquot wine as it is still one of the premier sparkling wines today. Rebecca will continue the series this coming March with the story of Madame Pommery who lived in the 1860s but changed the way we think of champagne today. Cheers everyone! ** Part of what drew us to this week's author, Rebecca Rosenberg, was the cool cover of her historical fiction novel, Champagne Widows. But as we read the book, we realized it was a pretty fascinating story of a young widow, Madame Clicquot, who essentially revolutionized champagne production in France during the Napoleonic years.

This week is the first production from, The Mercury Summer Theatre of the Air, with an adaptation of the Jules Verne novel from 1873, Around the World in Eighty Days. This is the musical short version, sometime later he did a non-musical version that was an hour. I strongly prefer the second version. Music by Cole Porter. Cast includes: Orson Welles (Fix), Arthur Margetson (Phileas Fogg), Larry Laurence (Passepartout), Mary Healy (Princess Aouda), Julie Warren (Molly Muggins). This is the greatly shortened version of the Broadway play that Welles produced. The expensive musical extravaganza opened on Broadway in May 1946 but closed after 75 performances. The Broadway show was considered a huge flop. After New York drama critic Robert Garland wrote disdainfully that the show had "everything but the kitchen sink", Welles had a kitchen sink brought to him onstage during his curtain speech. Although Broadway audiences reportedly loved Around the World, its precarious finances—and the theatre's inadequate air conditioning—could not sustain it through the summer, and Welles was forced to close it. He personally lost an estimated $320,000 (equivalent to $4,450,000 in 2021) on the production. Due to bad legal advice, he was unable to claim the loss on his taxes, and it took him many years to pay the debt.
