Die Debatte mit Natascha Freundel, Laurynas Katkus und Oliver Moody "Man hat die Freiheit errungen." (Oliver Moody) Die sicherheitspolitische Lage im Ostseeraum hat sich in den vergangenen Monaten spürbar verschärft. Vor allem Finnland und die baltischen Staaten Estland, Lettland und Litauen sind auf die Verteidigung gegen die russische Aggression eingestellt: „Je näher man an der Grenze zu Russland wohnt, desto höher ist die Bereitschaft, für Land und Bündnis zu kämpfen“, so der britische Journalist Oliver Moody. Mit dem litauischen Schriftsteller Laurynas Katkus spricht er über die Bedeutung historischer Erfahrungen, die Rolle der NATO und die Präsenz der Bundeswehr in Litauen. Aufgezeichnet am 10. September 2026 in Kooperation mit der Landesvertretung Schleswig-Holstein, dem Litauischen Kulturinstitut, der Academia Baltica e.V., der Europäischen Akademie Berlin und dem Europaministerium des Landes Schleswig-Holstein. Laurynas Katkus ist litauischer Schriftsteller, Essayist und Übersetzer. Seine Lyrik und Prosa wurde in viele Sprachen übersetzt, ins Deutsche u.a. der Essayband "Moskauer Pelmeni" (Leipziger Literaturverlag 2017) und sein Roman "Schwankende Schatten" (Klak Verlag 2022). Oliver Moody ist Berlin-Korrespondent der The Times und Sunday Times, Mit "Konfliktzone Ostsee – Die Zukunft Europas" (Klett-Cottag 2025) hat er ein vielbeachtetes geopolitisches Porträt des Ostseeraums.

At the time of Washington Irving's death, he was the most famous and widely praised American writer of his or any other era. But his reputation soon dwindled, and today he's known primarily as the author of just two stories ("The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" and "Rip Van Winkle"), while his groundbreaking works of history, biography, and essays are barely known. In this episode, Jacke talks to essayist Phillip Lopate about his book A Washington Irving Sketch Book: Reflections on an American Writer, in which Lopate pays tribute to the life and works of a nineteenth-century kindred spirit. Then Mike Palindrome turns the tables on Jacke, interviewing him about this summer's History of Literature Podcast Tour, in which Jacke, Emma, and a hearty band of guests journeyed together through literary England.

In this special episode we go behind the scenes with memoirist Deepa Paul, essayist, cookbook author Gina Beach, and novelist Daisy Buchanan and talk about the two things that keep them going: the passion behind the work, and the practice that makes the work possible. From an essay that no editor wanted to a Women's Prize-longlisted memoir, a personal research rabbit hole that became a four-year book project, and the journey from idea to novel, this is a personal conversation with three writers about about why they write the things they write — and what kept them going. You'll learn Why an essay no editor wanted a decade ago turned out not to be an essay at all. How to break a book into tasks small enough to finish inside a single hour. The case for treating your own interior life as seriously as any grand subject. How a rabbit hole of personal research turned into a four-year book project. Why the hardest part of self-publishing has nothing to do with production. When procrastination is doing useful work, and when it's just filling the gaps. What changes in your writing once you stop trying to get it right. A reason to stop measuring a writing session by its word count. How sitting alongside other writers quietly rearranges your sense of your own work. The tidal metaphor that makes a bad writing day easier to let go of.

Musik und Literatur – bei kaum einem Schriftsteller des 20. Jahrhunderts fließen beide Kunstformen so eng zusammen wie in den Texten von Thomas Mann. Ob er als Essayist über die Opern von Richard Wagner schreibt, ob er in den Buddenbrooks den kleinen Hanno am Klavier fantasieren lässt oder im Davoser Berg-Sanatorium ein ganzes Kapitel dem Hören von Schallplatten widmet – Musik war für Thomas Mann ein „Lebenselixier“. Kein Wunder also, dass er im fortgeschrittenen Alter mit „Doktor Faustus“ einen ganzen Musiker-Roman geschrieben hat, die fiktive Biografie eines Komponisten. In unserer Reihe „Klassiker der Musik-Literatur“ stellt uns das Buch Christoph Vratz vor – für ihn ist „Doktor Faustus“ einer der Meilensteine der Musik-Literatur.

Daniel ist Autor und Essayist. Er hat über Zuhause, Nüchternheit und das Alleinsein geschrieben – und jetzt über die Liebe als politischen Akt. Wir haben das Gespräch live vor Publikum in Leipzig geführt. Ich wollte von ihm wissen, warum er seit einigen Jahren eine immer stärker werdende Welle des Hasses wahrnimmt und wieso er ausgerechnet in der Liebe eine politische Antwort darauf sieht. Wir sprechen darüber, wie sich seine eigene Angst und Retraumatisierung aus den 90ern anfühlt und warum Schweigen und Wegschauen für ihn keine Option mehr sind. Es geht um radikale Freundlichkeit, Nächstenliebe, über die Idee einer großen Allianz gegen rechtsextreme und neoliberale Eliten und die Frage, wie man mit Menschen spricht, die völlig andere politische Positionen haben.

Comics will mend your heart. That's the energy we're taking into the new year and the thought we carried as we assembled The Stampies, our end-of-the-year award show celebrating The Best Comics of 2024 - ahem - (Part One). Over the last six years, we've turned to comics to understand ourselves and the world around us better. They've guided us through tumultuous times, and we know we'll need them even more in the coming months and years. Our award show is very much OUR award show. We have peculiar tastes, and our favorite comics reflect that. Some categories stuck around from last year's ceremony, but with this episode in particular, you'll find several new ones, also. Next week's Part Two will be stacked with the more traditional Best Original Graphic Novel, Best Limited Series, Best Ongoing, etc. For The Best Comics of 2024 (Part One), we get a little more cutesy with Best New Superhero and Best Murder Mystery, plus categories like Best First Issue and Best Single Issue. As has become tradition, we've asked our friends in journalism and podcasting to name their favorite books of the year. New to our 2024 celebrations, however, we've also asked a few retailers and comic book creators to contribute their favorite books. If you want to be spoiled about who will be guest-starring in today's podcast, scroll below. Please thank them by following their work and social media handles (and letting them know how much you enjoyed their contributions to the podcast). 2024 was another banger of a year regarding comics. Highlighting our favorites was more challenging than ever. The Stampies contain sixteen categories, with a few extra surprise categories tossed in during next week's show. That's simply not enough space to name all "the best" books from the year. So, keep your eyes trained on the Comic Book Couples Counseling website. At the very end of the year, we'll unleash our massive 50 Best Comics of 2024 list. The Best Comics of 2023 (Part One) Category Timestamps:  Best Comic Book Couple - 12:14 Best Murder Mystery - 18:18 Best New Superhero - 25:54 Best Adaptation - 32:29 Best Collaboration - 40:07 Best Short Story - 47:33 Best First Issue - 56:43 Best Single Issue - 1:05:05 The Best Comics of 2023 (Part One) Guest-Stars:  Erik C.

A new study by consulting firm McKinsey found that while women now hold more of the top jobs than ever before, they still lag far behind men, and Black and Latina women have an even harder time moving up the ranks. Despite some progress, women still face bias in the workplace and more caregiving responsibilities at home than men, among other challenges.

After a somewhat wobbly start, Harris seized the momentum with a visceral, deeply affecting answer about the consequences of the GOP's assault on abortion rights, then baited Trump into a rambling rant about the size of his crowds. He never really recovered, and spent much of the rest of the debate running his mouth about the debunked story of Haitian immigrants stealing and eat pets in Ohio or claiming that Harris was responsible for every policy of the Biden administration. What did we learn about the candidates and their priorities? Did Harris break with Biden in any significant ways? What does the Trump-Vance obsession with immigrants reveal about their campaign? What firearm does Harris own? And what about foreign policy?
