30.11.2025 – Die Unternehmerin Gloria von Thurn und Taxis, der Essayist und Kontrafunk-Redakteur Markus Vahlefeld sowie der Rechtswissenschaftler und Rechtsanwalt Dr. Ulrich Vosgerau diskutieren mit Burkhard Müller-Ullrich über die Feigheit der Unternehmer, die am Staatstropf hängen, und den späten Mut der Verzweifelten; über die Psychologie der Selbstzerstörung bei den Deutschen und das Erstaunen, dass die Amerikaner so etwas nicht kennen; über den Aufmarsch linksextremer Sturmtruppen in Gießen, um Mitglieder der größten deutschen Volkspartei zu bedrohen und zu verletzten, sowie über radikalisierte Eliten, die jene rotlackierten Faschisten dulden, ermuntern und mitfinanzieren.

Das jüngste Buch von Michael Andrick „Ich bin nicht dabei - Denk-Zettel für einen freien Geist“ ist ein Plädoyer für den freien Geist und ein Aufruf zum kritischen Denken.

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.

This is the second in a loose trilogy featuring France's infamous humanist and humorist, François Rabelais.

Weshalb sind Werke von Goethe, Kafka und Thomas Mann, aber auch die Autobiografie von Hildegard Knef stilistisch hervorragend, was bedeutet "Stil" überhaupt, was sind gute und schlechte Metaphern und wieso das Adjektiv "der Spazierstock unter den Wörtern"? Der Publizist und Essayist Michael Maar gilt als der "genaueste Leser des Literaturbetriebs".

Sabine Kroissenbrunner im Gespräch mit Christian RederBEREIT ZUM AUFBRECHEN Schwierige Zeiten heute? Immer schon. Und immer schon im Aufbruch – in eine solidarische Zukunft. Christian Reder, geb. 1944, stellt auf 384 Seiten dar, welche Arbeitserfahrungen, Projekte und Versuche ihn seit jeher geprägt haben und auf welche Widerstände, Diskussionskulturen und politische Abgründe er, nunmehr 81 Jahre alt, gestoßen ist. Dabei kompromisslos weltoffen zu sein, aber vor allem auch zu bleiben, hat aus dem studierten Staatswissenschaftler einen gefragten Analysten, aus dem Projektberater einen produktiven Essayisten, aus dem Welterkunder (u. a. Nicaragua, Syrien, Libyen, Ukraine, Afghanistan …) einen Krisenmanager und Finanzier von Hilfs- und Bildungsprojekten gemacht. Sein Plädoyer für selbstbestimmtes Arbeiten ist eine Grundsatzdevise geblieben, die sich an den österreichischen Verhältnissen in Politik und Wirtschaft, Medien oder Universitätsbetrieb ordentlich gerieben hat – „wert zu was“ kann man links auf der PC-Tastatur lesen, eine weitere Frage, die allen seinen Projekten zu unterliegen scheint. Neben der Vielzahl an Büchern und Publikationen unterstützt die von ihm geleitete RD Foundation Vienna politische und humanitäre Projekte: überschaubar, aber zielgerichtet, nachhaltig.Ein Leben in Österreich als „Projektarbeit“ – darf man das überhaupt? Christian Reder, Politikwissenschaftler, Projektentwickler, Essayist, Autor und Herausgeber zahlreicher Bücher zu analytisch-kulturübergreifenden Themen. Seit 1985 Professor an der Universität für angewandte Kunst Wien, Leiter des von ihm aufgebauten Zentrums für Kunst- und Wissenstransfer, Emeritierung 2012. Die 2011 mit seiner Frau Ingrid Reder zur Bestärkung der Zivilgesellschaft, plausibler Projekte und Publikationen gegründete gemeinnützige Privatstiftung RD Foundation Vienna. Research. Development. Human Rights, finanzierte auch die Konferenzen des Vienna Process for a Democratic Afghanistan, als nun weithin anerkanntes Forum des Exils, dessen in diesem Herbst publiziertes Programm alternative Perspektiven zur Taliban-Herrschaft präzisiert. Im Mandelbaum Verlag erschienen von ihm zuletzt: Bereit zum Aufbrechen. Arbeitserfahrungen, Projekte, Versuche (2025); Grenzland Ukraine. Unterdrückte Potenziale. Drastische Gewalterfahrungen (2022); Daniel Defoe. Ein Essay über Projekte (als Herausgeber mit ausführlichem Kommentar, Neuauflage 2022); Mediterrane Urbanität. Perioden vitaler Vielfalt als Grundlagen Europas (2020), Noch Jahre der Unruhe … Ali M. Zahma und Afghanistan (2018; Farsi 2023).Sabine Kroissenbrunner, Generalsekretärin, Bruno Kreisky Forum

Giuseppe Gracia ist Schriftsteller, Essayist – und ab sofort neuer Herausgeber der traditionsreichen Autorenzeitschrift Schweizer Monat. Im Gespräch mit dem Stoischen Piraten spricht er über den Verlust echter Streitkultur, den wachsenden Moralismus unserer Zeit und warum Freiheit ohne Widerspruch nicht existieren kann.„Demokratie ist Streit der Ideen“, sagt Gracia. „Sie ist ein dauernder Prozess der Korrektur – kein Heiligtum.“ Für ihn steht fest: Wenn die Gesellschaft den offenen Diskurs durch moralische Dogmen ersetzt, wird aus Politik Religion. „Wir wollen Debatten, keine Priester.“Gracia erklärt, weshalb er den Schweizer Monat als Ort des freien Denkens erhalten will – jenseits von Parteilogik und Empörungsritualen. Er spricht über intellektuelle Redlichkeit, über den Mut, unmodern zu sein, und über die Verantwortung der Autoren, Fragen zu stellen statt Wahrheiten zu verkünden.Ein Gespräch über Glauben, Vernunft, Mut und die Rückeroberung des öffentlichen Denkraums – ruhig, ehrlich und doch mit revolutionärem Geist.

Scenes where self-described progressives marching with anti-Israel placards and Palestinian flags might be a source of endless mockery and derision, but they represent a real effort by hardline anti-Israel activists to hijack the progressive cause, all under the guise of the religion of 'Palestinianism.'How did this movement allow itself to be taken over so quickly, and is there hope for it to find its way out of this morass? To help us understand this situation, we are joined by Pat Johnson. He is a commentator and ally to the Jewish community, a member of the LGBTQ+ community and a progressive who has become vocal in the last two years, decrying the obscenity of progressive leaders embracing a hateful and decidedly non-progressive movement.

Leere Flieger, sinkende Buchungszahlen – seit Donald Trump in den USA an der Macht ist, wollen weniger Menschen Urlaub im Land machen. Viele empören sich über den Regierungsstil Trumps. Auch bei Urlaubszielen wie der Türkei oder Italien fragen sich offenbar mehr Menschen, ob es moralisch vertretbar ist, in diese autokratisch bzw. rechtspopulistisch regierten Länder zu reisen. Sind diese Bedenken angemessen? Gibt es überhaupt so etwas wie legitime Motive zu reisen? Doris Maull diskutiert mit Christian Schüle – Schriftsteller und Essayist; Anke Budde –Präsidiumsmitglied Bundesverband Deutsche Tourismuswirtschaft; Prof. Dr. Harald Friedl – Professor für Angewandte Tourismuswirtschaft, FH Joanneum Graz

Essayist, poet, and Yale Review editor Meghan O'Rourke joins co-hosts Whitney Terrell and V.V. Ganeshananthan to talk about her recent New York Times piece, “The End of the University as We Know It.” O'Rourke discusses the situation at Columbia University; the Trump administration's attacks on other universities, including the threats to deport international students for participation in pro-Palestine protests; the false notion of the radical college campus; and how the political balance on campuses has actually shifted in recent years. She also reflects on how the Cold War reshaped these institutions and made them national assets; the financial relationship between the university and the state; and why schools can't just spend their endowments.

Wegen eines Unfalls im Gravitationssystem stürzt die Erde in die Sonne. Auf der Erde wird es immer heisser. So lautet die Nachricht, die um die Welt geht. Erst wollen das die Menschen gar nicht glauben, man erfreut sich am schönen Wetter. Aber bald wird klar: Vor der Hitze gibt es kein Entkommen. Wer das Hörspiel am Radio hören will: Samstag, 15.03.2025, 20.00 Uhr, Radio SRF 2 Kultur Charles Ferdinand Ramuz, Schweizer Schriftsteller, Lyriker und Essayist, gilt als einer der bedeutendsten Vertreter der Schweizer Literatur in französischer Sprache. 1922, als sein Roman mit dem Originaltitel «Présence de la mort» erschien, wusste C. F. Ramuz noch nichts von der Bedrohung der globalen Erwärmung. Die Analogie zwischen aktuellen Szenarien und Ramuz' über hundert Jahre alter Dystopie sind zwar erstaunlich, doch beschreibt «Sturz in die Sonne», wie der Roman in der deutschen Übersetzung heisst, vielmehr die Reaktionen der Menschen auf den drohenden Untergang. Erst wird die Katastrophe verleugnet, die Nachricht wird nicht ernst genommen: «Hier bei uns hat man nicht viel Vorstellungskraft». Die Freude über das schöne Wetter und die üppige Ernte schlägt bald in Angst um. Jeden Tag wird es ein Grad wärmer, und die soziale Ordnung beginnt zu zerfallen. Das Bekannte wird auf einmal unheimlich und das Vertraute tödlich. Es kommt angesichts der Apokalypse zu Ausschweifungen, zu Selbstjustiz und zur Resignation. Dem Schweizer Klangkünstler Stefan Weber ist es gelungen, das rauschhafte Gefühl der Bedrohung und des Untergangs in ein eindrückliches Hörerlebnis zu übertragen. ____________________ Mit: Katja Reinke, Katrin Thurm, Thomas Sarbacher, Vincent Leittersdorf und Gottfried Breitfuss ____________________ Aus dem Französischen von Steven Wyss - Dramaturgie: Lia Schmieder - Hörspielfassung, Aufnahmen, Klangdesign und Regie: Stefan Weber - Produktion: SRF 2025 - Dauer: 55'

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.

Essayist, poet and now novelist Michelle Rahurahu's first novel Poorhara has been praised by critics as "possibly the best Aoteraroa novel of the year." 

Laundering Black Rage: The Washing of Black Death, People, Property, and Profits (Routledge, 2024) examines the dilution and commodification of Black Rage--conceived as a constructive response to the conquest of resources, land, and human beings--in a spatial and historical critique of the capitalist State. Interweaving academic criticism with journalistic essays, it presents a thoughtful challenge to popular narratives surrounding recent US events such as the Black Lives Matter movement, the death of George Floyd and other police killings, and cases of White vigilantism, arguing that the maintenance of capitalism increasingly requires the manufactured consent of the conquered. Essayist/performer Too Black and geographer Rasul A. Mowatt assert Black Rage as a threat to the flow of capital, which must therefore be conquered by laundering, defined as a process of: - Incubation via the State, which places rage in circulation by setting both the oppressive conditions for its expression and seeding contradictions for it to be cleaned. - Labour, which sets mass uprisings in motion, layers the narcissistic rage of the Black elite over the illegal, militant rage of the masses to conceal class interests and collapse labour into capital. - Commodification, in which the now-laundered Black Rage is integrated within the State, ready to be withdrawn as a labour-crushed commodity to be bought, sold, or repressed by White capital.

Laundering Black Rage: The Washing of Black Death, People, Property, and Profits (Routledge, 2024) examines the dilution and commodification of Black Rage--conceived as a constructive response to the conquest of resources, land, and human beings--in a spatial and historical critique of the capitalist State. Interweaving academic criticism with journalistic essays, it presents a thoughtful challenge to popular narratives surrounding recent US events such as the Black Lives Matter movement, the death of George Floyd and other police killings, and cases of White vigilantism, arguing that the maintenance of capitalism increasingly requires the manufactured consent of the conquered.

Direktor des Instituts für öffentliche Finanzen der Universität Hannover), Tom-Oliver Regenauer (Musikproduzent, Managementberater und Essayist) sowie Dr. habil. Ulrich Vosgerau (Rechtsanwalt und Rechtswissenschaftler) diskutieren mit Burkhard Müller-Ullrich über die Lust führender Politiker, den einfachen Leuten mit Polizei und Staatsanwaltschaft das Maul zu stopfen; über die juristische Bewertung der vom Bundesgerichtshof bestätigten „Rechtsbeugung“ durch den Weimarer Richter Dettmar, der Schulkinder vom Maskenzwang befreien wollte; über den offenkundigen Willen des Staatsapparats, den „Querdenken“-Gründer Michael Ballweg in Grund und Boden zu prozessieren – sowie über die von den Übeltätern selber aufgeführten Schattenspiele einer fingierten Corona-Aufarbeitung.

Send us a textHi, and welcome to The Bookshop Podcast! In this episode, I chat with Joyce Carol Oates about the 2024 republication of her novel Broke Heart Blues by Akashic Books. We explore how nostalgia and adolescent pressures shape her storytelling, with John Reddy Hart at the center—a character in Broke Heart Blues who encapsulates the dual nature of high school fame and the journey from family protector to solitary adult. Joyce lends her unique perspective, rooted in her rural upbringing and experience navigating more affluent circles, to reflect on how external perceptions often clash with self-view.Venture into the enigmatic isolations of celebrity life with insights into iconic figures like Marilyn Monroe and Elvis Presley. Joyce shares her reflections on how these stars were often imprisoned by their fame, becoming reflections of their public personas. We also discuss the intricacies of adapting Joyce's novel Blonde into a film, the interconnected worlds of friendship, fashion, the arts, and her friendship with Gloria Vanderbilt.I ask Joyce about teaching, an anchor amidst the creative whirlwind that emerges as a profound pillar of her life. She explains how teaching balances the uncertainties of writing with the gratifying structure of education. This episode celebrates a life committed to the arts, creativity, and the ever-evolving landscape of expression.Joyce Carol OatesPurchase in AustraliaBroke Heart BluesPurchase in the USBroke Heart BluesSupport the showThe Bookshop PodcastMandy Jackson-BeverlySocial Media Links

Sheryl Sandberg released her bestselling book, “Lean In,” ten years ago sparking a movement among professional women to pursue leadership roles at work. 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. We'll talk about the barriers keeping women out of management, what makes a difference in helping women advance and the impact the Lean In movement has had on you.

Telling stories about your life feels fraught. How do you weave together a story that is deeply personal to you and others, contains the right amount of tension without being too dramatic, and feels both gripping and accessible for your audience? In the case of our guest today, Nat Eliason, his story is about the moment he went from investing hundreds of dollars to having $10 million of his own money on the line, plus more than $100 million of others under his purview, when the whole system was hacked.Nat recently published his first book, “Crypto Confidential: Winning and Losing Millions in the New Frontier of Finance,” and in this episode, he dissects the choices he made writing his prologue (which he shared with more than 20 people to get right).Together, Jay and Nat dissect Nat's thrilling story, unpacking how he grounded the drama, making it feel authentic and relatable, while still embracing the primacy and recency effects in storytelling. Plus, they discuss strategies for getting more valuable feedback on your creative work, Nat's decision to focus on such a dramatic moment for his prologue, and how to effectively combine educational or technical concepts into a story in a way that doesn't lose or bore readers.Whether you are an aspiring author, give keynotes, write articles, or record multimedia content, this episode will make you look a bit closer at how your favorite stories are told—from the very first hook to a perfectly placed detail to the closing line that makes you realize that although the story was specific … it was profoundly universal.Resources:⚫ Follow Nat on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nateliason/⚫  Follow Nat on X: https://x.com/nateliason⚫ Visit Nat's website: https://www.nateliason.com/⚫ Subscribe to Nat's Substack: https://blog.nateliason.com/

Listen to the rest of this premium episode by subscribing at patreon.com/knowyourenemyYour intrepid hosts watched the first, and possibly only, presidential debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump so you didn't have to—and then stayed up late to talk about it. 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?

Essayist and author Antonia Malchik joins me in this wandering, expansive discussion, touching on subjects at the heart of her writings and 2019 book, A Walking Life, and her upcoming book, No Trespassing. We discuss how the infrastructure of an automobile dependent society shapes our perception of nature and built environments, and in turn how we relate and move through it. I asked her about her more expansive view of walking and walkability, and how getting lost is good for our brains and souls. And near the later half of our time together, Antonia talks about her decision to ditch smartphones and social media, and how the creeping demands of our digital lives relate to her broader focus on enclosure, property, and reclaiming the commons. // Episode notes: https://www.lastborninthewilderness.com/episodes/antonia-malchik // Sustain + support: https://www.patreon.com/lastborninthewilderness // Donate: https://www.paypal.me/lastbornpodcast

Most of us learned in school that the U.S. Constitution gives everyone born in America lifelong citizenship, no matter what. But that's a lie. Essayist and former Trump aide Michael Anton explains where they lie came from, and how the next GOP administration can dispel it. Then, online influencer and Ron DeSantis supporter Mike Cernovich gives a deep, honest assessment of why the campaign became such a mess so quickly.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
