In dieser Episode bespreche ich das fesselnde Thriller-Debüt "Sieben Lügen" von Elizabeth Kay, das mich in seinen Bann gezogen hat. Der Klappentext deutet bereits an, dass alles mit einer kleinen Notlüge beginnt. Die Hauptfiguren, Jane und ihre beste Freundin Marnie, scheinen trotz ihrer tiefen Freundschaft in eine toxische Dynamik verwickelt zu werden, als Marnie sich mit Charles verlobt. Während Jane von innermisstrauischen Gedanken getrieben wird, entwickelt sich die Situation zunehmend außer Kontrolle. Ich tauche tief in die Erzählung ein und zeichne nach, wie eine Lüge nach der anderen folgt und damit das gesamte Beziehungsverhältnis zwischen den Protagonisten in eine dunkle Richtung führt. Ich teile meine persönliche Rezension und beschreibe, wie ich beim Lesen von Jane, ihrer komplizierten Vergangenheit und ihren inneren Konflikten betroffen war. Besonders prägnant sind Janes Herausforderungen mit dem Verlust ihres Mannes, der Erkrankung ihrer Mutter und dem Kampf ihrer Schwester gegen die Magersucht. Diese vielschichtigen Aspekte machen Jane zu einem faszinierenden, aber auch tragischen Charakter. Die Interviewstruktur bietet den Zuhörern die Möglichkeit, eine Verbindung zu Jane herzustellen und sich zu fragen, wie sie in ähnlichen Situationen handeln würden. Ich reflektiere über die moralischen Dilemmata, die Jane erlebt, und hinterfrage parallel dazu auch meine eigenen Erfahrungen in Freundschaften und den Druck, den zwischenmenschliche Beziehungen mit sich bringen können. Obwohl im Verlauf der Geschichte nicht viel passiert — das zentrale Element ist ein Mord — schafft es das Buch, die Spannung konstant zu halten. Ich beschreibe, wie es mir ergeht, wenn ich darüber nachdenke, ob ich ebenfalls in ein Netz aus Lügen geraten könnte oder ob ich in der schwierigen Lage, in der sich Jane befindet, ähnliche Entscheidungen treffen würde. Ich teile meine Gedanken, dass ich es bevorzuge, mich von Konflikten zurückzuziehen, anstatt sie noch weiter zu eskalieren. Das Buch schafft es, eine düstere Atmosphäre aufzubauen, die mich auch emotional herausgefordert hat. Ich erforsche die verschiedenen Reaktionen, die ein solches Werk hervorrufen kann — es scheint zwei Lager zu geben, die einen lieben es, andere können damit nicht umgehen. Ich persönlich konnte das Buch nicht einfach beiseitelegen, auch wenn ich ihm nur in kleinen Häppchen begegnen konnte. Mit jeder gelesenen Seite wurde ich mehr gefesselt und frage die Zuhörer, welches Gefühl "Sieben Lügen" bei ihnen auslösen könnte. Abschließend informiere ich über die Verfügbarkeit des Buches als E-Book und lade dazu ein, die eigene Meinung über diese packende Geschichte zu teilen.

Wilno przecież nieustannie podkreśla, że Rosja i Białoruś wykorzystują cały wachlarz narzędzi przeciwko Polsce i państwom bałtyckim - mówi politolog z Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego. Teraz słychać głosy, że tak naprawdę nie wiadomo ile tych wagonów się pali, jak wygląda sytuacja. Oprócz tego, że pożaru nie udało się ugasić. Gaz musi się wypalić i o ile jeszcze rano mieszkańcy otrzymali informację, że powinni się ewakuować w promieniu jednego kilometra, to teraz słyszymy już o pięciu kilometrów. Więc zapaliły się wagony, mieszkańcy otrzymali alert smsowy z sugestią pozostania w domu, zamknięcia okien, ale następnie już pojawiła się informacja o tym, że należy się ewakuować  tak wedle relacji Barbary Jundo-Kaliszewskiej 10 września rano i popołudniu wyglądała sytuacja w okolicach litewskiej stolicy. Politolog dodaje, że pomimo iż Litwini muszą sami mierzyć się z hybrydowymi atakami, to i tak uważnie obserwują rozwój sytuacji w sąsiedniej Polsce.

This week on Smashing Secrets Feng Shui, Chloe and Jo ride the wave from a very real forest-fire moment (with a heroic cat Theo) to the soothing science of Blue Mind, before landing on your feng shui guide for September. We unpack the shift from Monkey month → Rooster month (starts 7 September) in a Snake year, what that means for BaZi (Chinese astrology), and how to work with yin wood over yin metal for clarity, creativity and calmer communication.   In this episode Storytime: Chloe stumbles on a live fire in Epping Forest and rallies help (and records an interview!)—a lesson in intuition, earth energy and serendipity. Energy weather: What the Rooster month brings in a Snake year—endings → beginnings, polish, elegance, communication upgrades. Element check-in: Why yin wood creativity meets yin metal refinement—and when to lean on Water if your Day Master is Yin Metal. Blue Mind 101: Remembering Dr Wallace J. Nichols—why being in/near/on/under water calms the nervous system (and how to tap it when anxiety spikes). Nature prescriptions: Forest bathing, barefoot grounding, and why September–November wood energy loves you outside more than “activating” wood sectors at home this month. Feng shui compass tips (September): Luckiest sectors: South, South-West, West, North Trickier sectors: North-East, East, South-East, North-West → add appropriate remedies and go gently Your diary, sorted — 3 “banging” good dates (for everyone): 9 September (best 15:00–17:00 and 19:00–21:00) — success, heavenly happiness, relationship uplift 17 September — romance, weddings, stability, long-term moves, study starts, investments 23 September — openings, acquisitions, business launches; communications smooth as Rooster energy beds in   Key takeaways September Rooster Month Feng Shui: Expect refinement, polish, and better communication after the 23rd. Chinese Astrology (BaZi) tips: Strong yin wood can feel pressurised against yin metal—support with Water (Blue Mind practices). Feng Shui Directions September: Prioritise S/ SW/ W/ N; apply cures in NE/ E/ SE/ NW. Wellbeing: Use water, nature, forest bathing, grounding to regulate and inspire. Lucky Dates September: 9th, 17th, 23rd—bookmark for proposals, launches, romance, and big conversations.   Links & mentions Chloe's behind-the-scenes stories & essays: Substack – @ChloePresents Support extra tips, monthly cures & deep-dives: Patreon – Smashing Secrets Feng Shui If you enjoyed today's mix of feng shui, Chinese astrology, and a dash of real-life adventure, share the episode with a friend and tag us with what you're planning on 9th, 17th, or 23rd.

According to a voiceline by the Democracy Officer, these aliens predate humanity's existence by millennia. They are a technologically advanced, mystical, and highly intelligent species, having gone down the path of electricity in the same way that humans went from rocks to bullets.The Terminids, sometimes referred to as the Terminid Horde or Terminid Swarm, and commonly called Bugs, are one of the enemy factions in the Second Galactic War. Having escaped the farms where they were harvested for Element-710, the Terminids engage in the violent attacks against the citizenry of Super Earth and with their un-Democratic power structure.Support the show

In Episode 155, we dive into the controversial and captivating story of Bob Lazar, the man who rocked the world in 1989 with claims of working on reverse-engineering alien spacecraft at a secret site near Area 51. Was Lazar a whistleblower exposing extraterrestrial secrets, backed by his detailed accounts of anti-gravity propulsion and Element 115? Or is he a master storyteller weaving a sci-fi scam, with a trail of disputed credentials and no verifiable evidence? Join us as we explore Lazar's explosive allegations, the government's response, and the enduring debate that's kept UFO enthusiasts and skeptics buzzing for decades.

Douglas MacArthur – Held, Stratege, Egomane. Kaum eine Figur der US-amerikanischen Militärgeschichte ist so bewundert und zugleich so umstritten. Von Geburt an im Schatten der Uniform – Sohn eines Generals, geboren auf einem Militärstützpunkt – war sein Lebensweg früh gezeichnet: Der Krieg wurde sein Beruf, das Kommando sein Element. Er kämpfte im Ersten Weltkrieg, führte die US-Truppen im Pazifik gegen Japan, lenkte die alliierte Besatzungspolitik nach 1945 und wurde zur Schlüsselfigur im Koreakrieg. Sein Einfluss reichte weit über das Schlachtfeld hinaus: In Japan prägte er demokratische Reformen, die bis heute nachwirken. Doch so groß seine Erfolge, so ausgeprägt war auch sein Ego. MacArthur war ein Mann mit Sendungsbewusstsein – hochintelligent, entschlossen, aber auch autoritär und konfliktreich. Seine Entlassung durch Präsident Truman 1951 markierte den Bruch zwischen militärischer Macht und ziviler Kontrolle. In dieser Folge blicken wir auf das Leben eines Mannes, der als Fünf-Sterne-General Geschichte schrieb – und dabei selbst zur politischen Figur wurde. Wer war Douglas MacArthur wirklich: ein Held der Freiheit oder ein General, der sich selbst zu ernst nahm?

TransGenre (Cambridge UP, 2025) is a reconsideration of genre theory in long-form fiction through transgender minor literature in the US and Canada. Using four genre sites (the road novel, the mourning novel, the chosen family novel, and the archival novel), this Element considers how the minoritized becomes the minoritarian through deterritorializing generic conventions in fiction to its own ends. In so doing, TransGenre proposes narrative reading practices as strategies of the minor to subvert, transgress, and reappropriate the novel's genealogy and radical future prospects. A range of fiction published in the last decade is deployed as largely self-theorizing, generating its own epistemological, thematic, and formal innovations and possibilities, revealing cisheteronormative underpinnings of generic categories and turning them in on themselves. Aaron Hammes holds a PhD in English from the CUNY Graduate Center, and was most recently the Virginia and Walter Nord Postdoctoral Fellow in the Humanities at Case Western Reserve University. Dr. Hammes has published on sex work, transgender literature, and prison abolition in South Atlantic Review, Women's Studies Quarterly, the Routledge Handbook of Transgender Literature, Journal of Feminist Scholarship, and GLQ. Their first monograph, TransGenre, (Cambridge, 2025) is an exploration of genre theory and contemporary transgender minor literature.

Using four genre sites (the road novel, the mourning novel, the chosen family novel, and the archival novel), this Element considers how the minoritized becomes the minoritarian through deterritorializing generic conventions in fiction to its own ends. In so doing, TransGenre proposes narrative reading practices as strategies of the minor to subvert, transgress, and reappropriate the novel's genealogy and radical future prospects. A range of fiction published in the last decade is deployed as largely self-theorizing, generating its own epistemological, thematic, and formal innovations and possibilities, revealing cisheteronormative underpinnings of generic categories and turning them in on themselves. Aaron Hammes holds a PhD in English from the CUNY Graduate Center, and was most recently the Virginia and Walter Nord Postdoctoral Fellow in the Humanities at Case Western Reserve University. Dr. Hammes has published on sex work, transgender literature, and prison abolition in South Atlantic Review, Women's Studies Quarterly, the Routledge Handbook of Transgender Literature, Journal of Feminist Scholarship, and GLQ. Their first monograph, TransGenre, (Cambridge, 2025) is an exploration of genre theory and contemporary transgender minor literature.

When bestselling author Sulari Gentill was diagnosed with stage four cancer, she decided to write the ending she wanted. In episode 121, she joins James and Ashley to discuss her seventeenth novel, Five Found Dead, which features a main character riding the Orient Express to celebrate his recent cancer recovery – and who ends up solving several murders along the way.  Sulari shares her own experience of riding the Orient Express and describes how her creativity and writing reminded her who she was at a time when her illness was reducing her sense of self to 'patient'.  Plus she shares an excellent story involving red carpets, international awards and to-die-for chocolate cake.  Published in English in Australia, the UK and the US, and in translation in more than a dozen territories, Sulari Gentill is the author of The Hero Trilogy and the multi-award-winning Rowland Sinclair Mysteries.

Beyond hot flashes and physical changes lies an invitation to profound self-discovery and authenticity.In our third conversation together, Istra—now a licensed professional counselor—shares how midlife transitions often spark more than symptoms.

What if the changes you're experiencing are actually guiding you back to your truest self?In this episode, you'll discover:Why menopause is more than symptoms—it's an identity shiftHow hormonal changes invite deeper emotional and mental workWhy self-acceptance and inner wisdom matter more than quick fixesThe surprising freedom many women find from external validation
