At the dawn of the twentieth century, a writer emerged who learned his craft not in a classroom, but in battlefields, bullrings, and bars. To some, Ernest Hemingway was the greatest writer of his generation. A Nobel laureate whose sparse, muscular prose changed literature forever. But to others, he was a swaggering egotist, a man addicted to danger and performance, obsessed with his own legend. His own life fuelled his work, just as his work in turn fed his own myth. But behind the mask he forged through his writing lay a man haunted by fear, violence, and the tyranny of bravery. But why, more than sixty years after his death, does Hemingway remain a symbol of masculinity and modernism? Who were the people whose lives were swept up in the hurricane of his own? And how did the same passions that made Hemingway great also destroy him in the end? This is a Short History Of Ernest Hemingway. A Noiser podcast production. Hosted by John Hopkins. With thanks to Paul Hendrickson, author, journalist, professor, and the writer of Hemingway's Boat: Everything He Loved in Life, and Lost.

On the happy occasion of the publication of Francesca Wade's magnificent Gertrude Stein: An Afterlife, we speak with the biographer about Stein's life, work, and complicated relationships.Wade describes her access to new Stein archives that afforded her a fresh look on the enigmatic writer, the difference between Stein's legend and her life, the particular value of her various publications, and what she was ultimately trying to capture with her singular writing style. Wade also explores Stein's “afterlife,” the controversial legacy that her writings and persona have left us.We also discuss the fraught Hemingway-Stein relationship, that cryptic passage in A Moveable Feast, and what each might have meant to the other.Join us for a new consideration of one of Hemingway's oldest friendships and rivalries!
Tom Junod spent more than two decades as one the most celebrated writers in the men's magazine game, winning two National Magazine Awards and penning unforgettable articles about everything from 9/11 to Mister Rogers. Dubbed by Esquire as the man who has "helped teach readers what masculinity looks like in the 21st century," Junod has been considered one of great writers in the magazine's nearly 100-year history, alongside Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Tom Wolfe. But Junod certainly didn't learn about masculinity from a magazine. Instead he absorbed lessons about manhood imparted by his father Lou, a man who emulated the leading men of 1930s Hollywood and offered a treasure trove of men's-only secrets of success about wearing turtlenecks, making eye contact, and offering a firm handshake. Then Tom learned the details of his father's other secrets, and it reshaped his opinion of what it means to be a good man. Junod is the author of the memoir In The Days Of My Youth I Was Told What It Means To Be A Man, available now wherever you buy books.

(This podcast was previously published on April 18, 2021) Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... When we are watching television, often we will hear someone say something that we know to be opposite to the Word of God as stated by God in the Holy Bible. It is very important for us to renew our mind to the Bible. Recently I heard a very famous man say, "All die. No one escapes death." Because of the Bible, I know that statement is not true. Immediately after I heard this man say this, I took my Bible and made a screen print of the page of scripture where Paul says, "We shall not all sleep (die)," I Corinthians 15:51-52 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep (die), but we shall all be changed, 52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. When Jesus returns, first the dead in Christ will be raised, then those who are still alive will be changed from this earthly physical body, and be raised from off this present earth and taken into the air to meet Jesus and those who are raised from the dead. I Thessalonians 4:13-17 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep (dead), that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with Him. 15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent (precede) them which are asleep. 16 For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words. ***** Romans 12:1-2 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. We who believe in God, must be diligent to cling to truth of the Bible. Therefore when we hear someone on TV speak that which is contrary to Bible, it is important for us to renew our mind to the truth from the Bible. For that which is false could go down into our heart and at some point deceive us. Some will think this unnecessary. But I know it is critical to do the scriptures and not just hear the scriptures. And I know it is important to collect scriptures which are brought before us in situations such as this and put those scriptures into some form of collected file and meditate upon those scriptures as we live daily on this present earth, keeping ourselves by the Word of God. Joshua 1:8 God says: This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. I use my Kindle tablet photo section and make screen prints of such scriptures which I usually read daily. The man who said the lie of the world was Ernest Hemingway. A three part series of his life appeared on PBS and I recorded it. I watched some of Episode 1, but felt it best to stop watching when he divorced his first wife and married a second wife, and later a third wife, all of which is adultery according to the Bible. Matthew 5:32 Jesus said: But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery. I only watched part of Episode 1, but as they praised Hemingway, I found myself saying, "But Hemingway committed suicide." Several times I said this. I deleted Episode 2, but I watched some of Episode 3, wanting to hear their report of Hemingway suicide. Toward the end of his life, he became crazy, thinking men in restaurants were government agents who were out to get him. At the Mayo clinic they were giving him electric shock treatments but he continued in his imagined fears. He was a very heavy drinker, a drunk. I just kept thinking of how you can have all that fame and glory of men, and destroy yourself and lose everything. Matthew 16:26 Jesus says: For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? It is important for us to guard our own hearts with all diligence, uprooting the saying of this world and wisdom of this world, and clinging to the truth of the Word of God in the Bible. Also I was reminded of the following: God says: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. (Joshua 1:5 & Hebrews 13:5) And God gives us a "sound mind", when we follow HIM. II Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. *** Other scriptures in this recording: Genesis 8:22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. *** II Peter 3:10-14 10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. 11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, 12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? 13 Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. 14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of Him in peace, without spot, and blameless. *** Philippians 4:6-7 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. *** James 1:21-22 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. 22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. James 2:24 by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. 26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. *** Luke 21 Jesus says: 33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but MY words shall not pass away. 34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting (over indulgence), and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. 35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. *** Matthew 18 Jesus says: 3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. 4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. *** Philippians 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. *** Revelation 12 9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. 10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. 11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. 12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. *** Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. *** James 3:15-17 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. 17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961) was one of the most famous American writers of the twentieth century. His plain, economical prose style--inspired by journalism and the King James Bible, with an assist from the Cezannes he viewed in Gertrude Stein's apartment--became a hallmark of modernism and changed the course of American literature. In this episode, Jacke and Mike take a look at an author and novel, The Sun Also Rises (1927), they've been reading and discussing for decades. Want more Hemingway?

In our second episode devoted to the centenary of The Sun Also Rises, we turn our focus to the beloved Count Mippipopolous. He's an epicurean and an entrepreneur; he's battle-tested, arrow-wounded, champagne-enjoying, no-dancing, business-tripping, generous-tipping... and he's always in love. We discuss his role in the novel, his relationship with Brett and Jake, Hemingway's original plan for him in the manuscript, and how he emerges as such a resonant figure.Make sure to listen for a snippet of Leonard Nimoy as the Count in the polarizing 1984 mini-series, where he says things that he doesn't say in the novel. As always, we enjoy the legendary actor William Hurt reading a pivotal scene involving the Count, courtesy of our friends at Simon & Schuster Audio.If you're quite one of us, you will love this exploration of Hemingway's great novel and this indelible, magnificently alive secondary character.Audio excerpt courtesy of Simon & Schuster Audio from The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway, read by William Hurt.

With only five weeks left in this year-long journey, I can feel the end approaching—less like a high-wire act and more like gathering momentum toward something unknown. Week 47 of Ted Gioia's Immersive Humanities course explores twentieth-century American fiction through short stories and novel excerpts, revealing a distinctly American voice: sharp dialogue, vivid settings, and an experimental edge.O. Henry, “The Gift of the Magi” (1906): A charming story of love and sacrifice.F. Scott Fitzgerald, “A Diamond as Big as the Ritz” (1922): Wealth, excess, and a surprising twist.Ernest Hemingway, “The Killers” (1927): Sparse, tension-filled dialogue.William Faulkner, The Sound and the Fury (1929, excerpt): Challenging, with shifting time and perspective.Ralph Ellison, Invisible Man (1947, excerpt): A powerful sense of invisibility and identity.Shirley Jackson, “The Lottery” (1948): Disturbing and unforgettable.Flannery O'Connor, “A Good Man is Hard to Find” (1955): A Southern Gothic tale with shocking turns.Together, these works feel spacious, restless, and distinctly American—and they remind me how much more willing I am now to embrace difficult, even strange, books.This is a year-long challenge!

In this RTB and Novel Dialogue episode from 2021, Helen Garner sits down with John and Elizabeth McMahon, a distinguished scholar of Australian literature. Helen's novels range from the anti-patriarchy exuberance of Monkey Grip (1977) to the heartbreaking mortality at the heart of The Spare Room (2008). She has also authored a slew of nonfiction, plus screenplays for Jane Campion's Two Friends and Gillian Armstrong's wonderfully Garneresque The Last Days of Chez Nous. After a reading from John's favorite, The Children's Bach, the trio discusses Garner's capacity for cutting and cutting, creating resonant, thought-inducing gaps. Garner connects that taste for excision, perhaps paradoxically, to her tendency to accumulate scraps, bits and pieces of life. She relates her father's restlessness to her own life-total of houses inhabited (27). “Why wouldn't I write about households?” asks Helen, “They're just so endlessly interesting.” Who shaped her writing? Raymond Carver: packed with power, but the pages white with omissions and excisions. Helen offers an anecdote about her own pruning that ends with her “ankle-deep in adverbs.” That's how to escape the “fat writing” that stems for distrust of the reader. She thoughtfully compares the practical virtues of keeping notebooks for the “music” of everyday life to the nightly process of diary-writing (more analytical). John raises the question of pervasive musical metaphors in Helen's writing, and she reports her passion for “boring pieces” and the “formal” side of Bach, which makes a listener feel that there is such a thing as meaning. “There's something about shaping a sentence, too, which can be musical.” Mentioned in the Episode Marilynne Robinson, Housekeeping (the fixed people and the wandering people), Gilead, Home, The West Wing (yes, the TV show! Helen watched it during lockdown when she couldn't bear fiction…) Raymond Carver‘s minimalist fiction (his first collection) Tess Gallagher (as writer and as Carver's editor) Willa Cather, “The Novel Démeublé” (1922; on how to un-furnish fiction, leaving it an empty room) Ernest Hemingway, A Moveable Feast Sigmund Freud on “the day's residue” (e.g. in The Interpretation of Dreams, 1900) George Eliot, Quarry for Middlemarch Listen to Episode Learn more about your ad choices.

We are thrilled to welcome Susan Shillinglaw, the preeminent John Steinbeck scholar, to discuss one of Hemingway's contemporaries and fellow Nobel laureates. Although Hemingway and Steinbeck are not discussed comparatively as frequently as some of his other fellow literary titans, Prof. Shillinglaw talks about Steinbeck's life, career, and temperament in ways that will inspire us to remap the overlaps between these two men. We explore Steinbeck's fondness for “The Butterfly and the Tank,” Hemingway and Steinbeck's different paths during the 1930s, the way The Red Pony's Jody Tiflin functions as a Nick Adams-like character, and much more. Make sure to tune in to the very end of the episode! In honor of Steinbeck, our friend Michael Kim Roos treats us to a version of Woody Guthrie's “Tom Joad.” For more information about Mike's music, see: https://mikeroos.com.

One of Ernest Hemingway's short stories, "The Capital of the World,” opens:"Madrid is full of boys named Paco, which is diminutive of the name Francisco, and there is a Madrid joke about a father who came to Madrid and inserted an advertisement in the personal columns of El Liberal which said: PACO MEET ME AT HOTEL MONTANA NOON TUESDAY ALL IS FORGIVEN PAPA and how a squadron of Guardia Civil had to be called out to disperse the eight hundred young men who answered the advertisement."Aside from highlighting how common the name Paco is in Spain, this short word picture also highlights all of humanity's deep longing for forgiveness.Luke 17 finds Jesus giving his disciples a command about forgiveness in order to heal broken relationships within the body, and to display the splendor of the New Kingdom to those who are outsiders. Read Luke 17 and we'll see how it all fits together on Sunday in worship!
Throughout the course of this year, we will celebrate the centenary of The Sun Also Rises by inviting guests on the show to talk about fascinating aspects of the book and its rich history. In this episode, we explore how the book was actually written—from a sloppy first draft to a modernist masterpiece. What will tracing this composition history tells us about the evolution of The Sun Also Rises and Hemingway's own development as a writer?To help us explore this topic, Carl Eby joins us once again! Eby is the former President of the Hemingway Society and has focused much of his research on Hemingway's posthumous work. He has joined us previously for episodes on Islands in the Stream and The Garden of Eden, and he also inaugurated our One True Sentence series with One True Sentence #1, a discussion of Hemingway's "Paris 1922" sketches.Thanks to the support of Simon & Schuster, this episode also includes an audio portion from William Hurt's narration of The Sun Also Rises.

Warum war Ernest Hemingway, der Inbegriff männlicher Härte und Abenteuerlust, innerlich so zerrissen? Was trieb ihn an? Was versuchte er zeitlebens zu vermeiden? Und warum erinnert sein Leben so sehr an das vieler Männer, die stark wirken – und doch ständig auf der Flucht sind? Sie erfahren etwas über: • die psychologischen Wurzeln von Hemingways Selbstinszenierung • seine Kindheit als „Ernestine“ – und die Urwunde, die blieb • Männlichkeit als Überlebensstrategie • Frauen, Krieg, Schreiben – alles als Fluchtversuche • neun psychische Abwehrmechanismen, die sein Leben bestimmten • und was Sie selbst daraus mitnehmen können, wenn Sie sich manchmal ähnlich fühlen
One True Podcast is back with a look at another Hemingway short story, an under-discussed gem from Winner Take Nothing. One of the weirdest works in his career, “Homage to Switzerland” is a Modernist experiment that tells a similar story three times, each one set in a different Swiss train station. To walk us through this bizarre tale, we call on excellent Hemingway scholar and actual citizen of Switzerland, Boris Vejdovksy, professor at the University of Lausanne. Vejdovksy explains the story's structure, its setting, its Modernist qualities, the way the iceberg principle functions in the story, and even its “Swiss-ness.”Join us as we explore this fascinating triptych!

A Phil Svitek Podcast - A Series From Your 360 Creative Coach
“Be the author of your life, not the editor” sounds like a platitude—until you actually try to live it.In this episode, I unpack what that phrase really means for artists, filmmakers, and anyone navigating uncertainty. There is never a perfect time to start a project, pitch an idea, or pursue a dream. Waiting for every light to turn green is a trap.Drawing from the realities of the creative industry, historical examples like Ernest Hemingway, and my own experience as a working filmmaker, I talk about how to take agency without denying reality—how to work within constraints instead of reacting to them, and how to keep creating even when conditions aren't ideal.If you're feeling stalled, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward, this episode is about reclaiming authorship over your life and your work.
As America prepares to celebrate its 250th anniversary, Carl takes listeners on a bold, unforgettable journey through the people, ideas, and moments that shaped the United States. For the sake of brevity, this special episode traces only a sample of America's heroes, innovators, and cultural icons. From the Enlightenment ideals that inspired the Founding Fathers—Jefferson, Adams, and Franklin—to the defining leadership of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, the episode explores how liberty, courage, and conviction forged a nation. Lincoln's leadership during the Civil War, and the enduring power of the Gettysburg Address, reveal how America's moral compass was tested—and strengthened. The story expands beyond politics to honor cultural and humanitarian trailblazers, including Elvis Presley, Julia Ward Howe, and Clara Barton, whose influence reshaped music, social reform, and humanitarian care. Modern leadership comes into focus through Eisenhower, Kennedy, Reagan, and Donald Trump, examining moments that redefined America's role at home and on the world stage. The episode also celebrates American creativity and innovation—from Frank Sinatra, Marilyn Monroe, Michael Jackson, and Taylor Swift, to inventors like Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, and Steve Jobs, whose ideas transformed everyday life. Sports legends such as Babe Ruth, Muhammad Ali, Michael Jordan, Serena and Venus Williams, and Shohei Ohtani embody the spirit of perseverance and excellence that continues to inspire generations. Woven throughout is the power of storytelling, honoring literary voices like Mark Twain, Maya Angelou, and Ernest Hemingway, whose words helped shape the American identity. As the nation approaches 250 years of independence, this episode stands as both a tribute and a challenge: honor the past, protect the principles that unite us, and take part in shaping what comes next. America's story isn't finished. What will you contribute?

Comenzaremos nuestra discusión de la actualidad con una tendencia preocupante: el grave deterioro de los derechos de la mujer en Israel. En la segunda noticia comentaremos una nueva generación de chatbots de IA que simulan a Jesús y ofrecen consejos espirituales y compañía online. En el segmento de ciencia discutiremos un problema al que se enfrenta la gente durante la temporada de fiestas: las dietas depurativas tras las indulgencias navideñas. Los expertos defienden un planteamiento más sostenible para nuestra alimentación durante y después de las fiestas. Y, para acabar, nos divertiremos un poco con los comentarios que hizo el presidente Trump mientras atendía llamadas telefónicas de niños para conocer sus deseos navideños. El resto del episodio de hoy lo dedicaremos a la lengua y la cultura españolas. La primera conversación incluirá ejemplos del tema de gramática de la semana, The Past Perfect Indicative - Part II. En esta conversación hablaremos de las tradiciones de Navidad y Año Nuevo en España. Algunas son nuevas, otras han desaparecido completamente. Pero hay algunas que quizá estemos perdiendo y deberíamos esforzarnos para que esto no ocurra. Y, en nuestra última conversación, aprenderemos a usar una nueva expresión española, Perro ladrador, poco mordedor. La usaremos para hablar de una visita inesperada: la que hizo el escritor estadounidense, Ernest Hemingway, a un moribundo escritor español, Pío Baroja. El premio Nobel de literatura tuvo bonitas palabras de agradecimiento hacia el escritor español. También le regaló un par de cosas… ¿Refleja un retroceso global el desplome de los derechos de la mujer en Israel?

Happy New Year from One True Podcast! We look forward to a rich, exciting 2026 by looking back to 1926.In our first show of the year, we ask an esteemed guest to take us back exactly one hundred years to see what was happening in Hemingway's life, work, and world. So, to guide us through Hemingway's 1926 -- his travels, his relationships, his publishing, and his writing – we welcome the great Hemingway scholar Ross K. Tangedal. For Hemingway, 1926 was a colossally important year that saw his transition from Hadley to his second wife, Pauline; the transition from Boni & Liveright to Scribner's; and the publication of The Torrents of Spring and The Sun Also Rises, both crucially important for different reasons. Tangedal guides us through this remarkable year in Hemingway's life and his writing. We have previously begun calendar years with flashback episodes featuring: Mary Dearborn on 1922; James M. Hutchisson on 1923; Verna Kale on 1924; and J. Gerald Kennedy on 1925. We encourage you to check out those past shows to get up to date!

In this episode of the Agents of Innovation podcast, Francisco Gonzalez joins Ryan Doyle aboard Amigo, a 1937 classic wooden Wheeler and sister ship to Ernest Hemingway's famed Pilar, at the Riviera Beach Marina near West Palm Beach. Ryan shares his journey from a horse farm in Connecticut to the U.S. Coast Guard, maritime academy, and eventually a career in yachting that led him to founding Doyle Marine Management, the Vintage Boat Club, and the new Admiralty Marine Center. He explains what makes classic wooden boats so special, why he sees himself as a steward of maritime history, and how yacht management quietly turns owners' dreams into reality. Ryan also lays out his vision for a marine trade school to train the next generation of shipwrights and wooden boat carpenters, an in-demand trade that AI won't replace anytime soon. Throughout the conversation, themes of integrity, persistence, and the American Dream run strong, as Ryan and Francisco talk about finding a niche where passion meets market need and encourage listeners to “keep moving forward” in their own journeys.

Send us a textErnest Hemingway's life was a testament to his belief in living authentically and drawing from rich, personal experience for his writing. His three primary homes in Key West, Havana, and Ketchum were more than just residences; they were essential backdrops and sources of inspiration for his work, each intrinsically linked to his lifestyle and creativity. Unifying these locales, and a symbol of his deep connection to the sea, was his beloved fishing boat, the Pilar.In Key West, Florida (his home during the 1930s), Hemingway found a laid-back, "bohemian" atmosphere that fostered a disciplined writing routine in the mornings and deep-sea fishing adventures in the afternoons with local friends, later dubbed the "Key West Mob". The house on Whitehead Street, a National Historic Landmark, provided a stable base where he wrote works like To Have and Have Not and numerous short stories.His time in Key West served as a gateway to Havana, Cuba, where he eventually moved and lived for over two decades, longer than anywhere else. His home there, Finca Vigía (Lookout Farm), offered the quiet and space where he wrote some of his most celebrated work, including For Whom the Bell Tolls and the Pulitzer Prize-winning The Old Man and the Sea. It was from the nearby village of Cojimar that he and his captain, Gregorio Fuentes, would set out on the Pilar.The 38-foot custom Wheeler yacht, the Pilar, was a constant companion for 27 years, serving as an escape from the pressures of fame and the setting for big-game fishing exploits that earned him a reputation as a founder of sportfishing. The boat was a personal and literary anchor, its name a nickname for his second wife Pauline and a character in For Whom the Bell Tolls. It became a literal and figurative vessel that carried him to the experiences he translated into raw, real stories.Finally, Ketchum, Idaho, became his autumn retreat and final home in the late 1950s, after planning to leave Cuba amidst political tensions. In the rugged landscape of Idaho, he hunted and fished the rivers and plains, finding a different kind of solace. It was here, struggling with deteriorating health and depression, that he ultimately ended his life in 1961, leaving behind a legacy deeply tied to the physical locations that shaped his life and literature.

Thank you for making 2025 such a special year for One True Podcast! Together, we devoted shows to the centenary of In Our Time, to our One True Book Club discussion of W.H. Hudson's The Purple Land, to the 100th anniversary of The Great Gatsby, and to so much more. We're so grateful to all of our amazing guests for enriching and enlivening our program, and to all of our listeners for their loyalty.As our gift back to you, we close 2025 in our favorite of ways: we welcome Suzanne del Gizzo onto the show to discuss a season-appropriate piece of Hemingway's work. This year, we discuss “Christmas in Paris,” Hemingway's poignant, melancholy sketch describing a young couple away from home for the holidays.Before we welcome in Suzanne, old friend Mackenzie Astin narrates Hemingway's “Christmas in Paris” to put us in the spirit. Make sure you keep listening after the episode to be treated to a rendition of “Noël à Paris,” performed by Bill Hemminger (piano) and Melody Winfrey (vocals).Wishing you all happiness over the holidays, and we'll see you on the other side.
Send us a textOur Noirvember pod on The Big Sleep had me ooohhhing and aaahhhing about the talent that brought the film to life in front of and behind the camera. As we enter the classic period of noir in America, we're going to look at a film that has some of the most impactful and prolific noir actors ever assembled, with just as talented a production team as in Sleep. For your holiday enjoyment by the crackling fire, we bring you the noir based on a very short Ernest Hemingway story, 1946's The Killers from Universal. Historically, we've liked to propose that, if you want to introduce a friend to film noir in a short sitting, you'd put them in a comfortable chair, roll Double Indemnity from 1944, allow them to stretch afterwards, perhaps all “go out to the lobby,” then give them a shot of Bob Mitchum playing Bob Mitchum in 1947's Out Of The Past. But if you wanted to show them a noir that has maximum acting talent at every level, so much so that it seems almost wasteful, you'd have to delight them with a triple feature and run The Killers.

(Antevíspera del Aniversario de la Entrega del Premio Nobel a Ernest Hemingway) Escrita en 1951 en la isla de Cayo Blanco (frente a la playa de Varadero en Cuba), fue la última obra de ficción importante publicada en vida de Ernest Hemingway, y tal vez su más famosa. Considerada una de las obras más destacadas del siglo veinte, le mereció el Premio Pulitzer en 1953, un año antes de que Hemingway recibiera el Premio Nobel de Literatura por su obra completa. Se trata de El viejo y el mar, novela breve que cuenta la historia de Santiago, un pescador cubano, ya anciano, que lleva ochenta y cuatro días sin pescar nada. Harto de su mala racha, se propone salir solo —sin Manolín, el joven que antes lo acompañaba—, y no regresar a tierra hasta volver a tener éxito mar adentro en el Caribe. Por fin logra enganchar un enorme marlín, pero traba con el pez una lucha a muerte que dura tres días. El viejo logra finalmente matar a su gigantesca presa, más grande aún que su esquife, pero en el camino de regreso a casa diversos tiburones poco a poco devoran el pez, dejándolo sin carne. Menos mal que la enormidad del esqueleto basta para que recupere el respeto de sus compañeros de pesca y refuerce la admiración del joven Manolín, que decide volver a pescar con él. Antes de aquella faena, Santiago le había dicho a Manolín: «Ojalá no se presente un pez tan grande que me haga quedar en mal lugar.» Y el joven le había asegurado: «Si sigue usted tan fuerte como dice, no habrá pez que pueda con usted», a lo que el viejo había contestado: «Quizá no lo sea tanto como creo. Pero conozco muchos trucos y soy un hombre decidido.»1 A lo largo de los tres días de su épica lucha contra el marlín, el viejo exclamó: «¡Ojalá estuviese aquí el chico para ayudarme!» Pero no fue una sola vez; fueron cinco las veces que se lamentó: «¡Ojalá estuviese aquí el chico!» Y en una de esas añadió: «Nadie debería estar solo de viejo».2 Gracias a Dios, a la inversa de cómo al final Santiago ya no tendría que estar solo de viejo en las luchas que le esperaban, sino acompañado por su discípulo Manolín, nosotros como discípulos de Cristo no tenemos que estar solos en las luchas que enfrentaremos, sino que podemos estar siempre acompañados por Él como nuestro Maestro. Eso fue precisamente lo que Jesucristo, siendo el Hijo de Dios, les prometió a sus discípulos antes de regresar a su hogar en el cielo para estar de nuevo al lado del Padre celestial. Habiendo acabado de vencer a nuestro enemigo mortal al pagar el castigo por nuestro pecado, Jesús les dijo: «Les aseguro que estaré con ustedes siempre, hasta el fin del mundo.»3 Lo cierto es que eso es lo que más necesitamos, ya que, tal como nos advierte el apóstol Pablo: «Nuestra lucha no es contra seres humanos, sino contra... fuerzas espirituales malignas en las regiones celestiales».4 Más vale entonces que nos aseguremos de ir acompañados por Cristo, para que con su fuerza divina ¡no haya pez maligno que pueda con nosotros!

One True Podcast would never let 2025 end without one more episode celebrating the centenary of In Our Time, so today we discuss a classic short story from that collection: “The Doctor and the Doctor's Wife.”Scholar (and podcaster) Scott Yarbrough visits us from Charleston to lead us through the many elements of this great story: Dr. Adams's quarrel with Dick Boulton, the doctor's icy relationship with his wife, and finally his moment of connection with his son. Along the way, we touch on the ethics of log stealing, the implications of Christian Scientism, Hemingway's captivating early prose style, Nick's role in the narrative, and whether or not this story qualifies as one of Hemingway's “greatest hits.”Join us for a trip into the Michigan woods and a guided tour through “The Doctor and the Doctor's Wife.” We know where there's black squirrels!
