In this month's Bookmarked spoiler discussion, we explore Philip Pullman's return to the world of His Dark Materials with the first novel in The Book of Dust trilogy. Beyond the adventure, we examine the philosophical ideas that make Pullman's work so enduring—from free will, authority, and consciousness to mythology, religion, and the power of curiosity.We also discuss Malcolm Polstead's journey, the expanding mythology surrounding Dust, Pullman's writing style, the novel's themes, and whether La Belle Sauvage works as both a standalone novel and a companion to His Dark Materials. Whether you're a longtime Pullman fan or considering reading the series for the first time, this conversation explores why his stories continue to resonate with readers decades later.

What makes a fair exam? It's a question that has grown in significance as upper secondary certificates play an ever more pivotal role in students' lives. They are a passport to higher education, training and employment at a time when institutions and employers are often choosing from larger pools of candidates than ever before. In this episode of Top Class, the OECD's Chris Moore is joined by Ruth Johnson, Director of Assessment at Cambridge OCR, one of the United Kingdom's leading exam boards. She discusses how to keep exams inclusive, why she believes they remain the fairest way of testing students' abilities - and the challenges facing assessors in the age of artificial intelligence.

In this message from Philippians 3, we're challenged to take an honest look at the person staring back at us in the mirror. Like the Apostle Paul, many of us know the frustration of falling short of the people we want to be. Yet Paul's life proves that it's possible to move from "I'm missing it" to "I have finished the race" by becoming intentional in the way we follow Christ.Through Paul's words, we discover three areas that shape spiritual growth: being intentional in our focus, our formation, and our function. We learn to leave the past behind and fix our eyes on Jesus, allow God to form Christlike character within us instead of settling for outward appearances, and faithfully use our lives to impact others for His Kingdom. Spiritual maturity isn't about perfection—it's about continually pressing toward the One who first took hold of us.This message is an invitation to ask God to reveal who we really are, reshape us into who He has called us to be, and empower us to live lives that make an eternal difference. The greatest testimony isn't what God did through you years ago—it's what He's doing through you today.

This week we go back in time with former Footscray midfielder Brian 'Chocco' Royal. Brian reminisces about his career, reflects on some of special moments during his time in the game. A standout for the Footscray Football Club, Brian made an immediate impact, winning the Charles Sutton Medal as the club's Best and Fairest in his first season. He went on to build a distinguished career, representing his state on seven occasions and earning All-Australian honours.Royal finished his playing career with 199 games and 299 goals, cruelly cut short by a ruptured Achilles tendon late in the 1993 season against the Essendon Football Club.Following his playing days, Brian transitioned into coaching, becoming a highly respected assistant at several AFL clubs, including the Melbourne Football Club, St Kilda Football Club, Richmond Football Club and the Western Bulldogs.In this episode, Brian talks about entering the VFL as a mature-age player, the highs and lows of his time with the Dogs, the near misses in securing a senior AFL coaching role, and provides deeper insights into a lifelong connection to football.A great listen with the 121st member of 'The 90's Club Footy Podcast'.

In this Bible study we Examine the Value of beauty. An internal beauty that we get to curate through the power of God. We learn about God's beauty and the beauty of His amazing love. We will look at the concept of what it truly means to be beautiful in spirit and to cultivate that in our lives. Often we feel that when ugly things happen in childhood we must carry that through our lives, but the Bible teaches us that God gives beauty for ashes. God is always there to make old things new. You don't have to live in the ugliness of a cruel heart, an unkind word, a malicious slight. God has beauty to give you, if you will give him your ashes. No matter who tried to torch your dreams and hopes, God has a crown and glory to give you anyway. You earn it by being His son.LoveWalk is online:LoveWalk.substack.comLoveWalk.gumroad.comSocial Media @lovewalkfellowshipOn TikTok, YouTube and Pinterest Support at PayPal.me/lelawinston

President Trump trolls for information in the embattled Hormuz Strait and one main US ally fails the test: The UK.

The plan to replace RINO holdouts like John Thune, Lindsay Graham and others is taking shape in the House. Do Republicans WANT to fail?

The Wisconsin Fairest of the Fairs program has been impacting people’s lives for over 60 years. Throughout the years, the sisterhood of the Fairests has remained a place where young women grow in confidence, poise and public speaking. But the community goes beyond the girls themselves. Nicole Nohl-Ress & Kevin C. Ress described themselves to me as Fairest of the Fair enthusiasts. They take joy in seeing the development the program instills in those who participate and enjoy giving back to it. Creativity and charity took over as they made a logo for the program and gave this year’s contestants a keepsakeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

60 years ago Wisconsin created the position of "Fairest of the Fairs". Designed to be an ambassador for all fairs in the state, the program is thriving today. Kiley Allan gets a chance to visit with the first "fairest" that started it all. Connie McCallister, was Wisconsin's 1st Fairest of Fairs and says the format was much more relaxed than it is today. She notes that the original competition mirrored the Miss America pageant, featuring swimsuit and formal wear segments. The actual crowning took place on the grandstand stage of the WI State Fair! McCallister says she lived on the fairgrounds during her term, presenting trophies to 4-H participants, appearing in daily parades, and opening nightly grandstand shows for famous entertainers. After her time as Fairest, she worked briefly in Washington D.C. media before serving as a Lutheran minister for 41 years. McAllister emphasizes that while the competition has changed, the fair remains a vital "gift" that celebrates the hard work of 4-H youth and their animals.Warmer weather this week should help with outdoor chores according to Stu Muck.Post Super Bowl, our emphasis is on athletes and agriculture. Dave Bangert is a dairy farmer in Clark County that sits on the Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin board. He's also a coach who knows how sports brings communities together. That's why he believes the investment DFW makes annually to partner with the WIAA in Wisconsin makes sense. Bangert says not only does it connect the dots on dairy nutrition in young people's diets, it highlights the connection that dairy farm families have with student athletes and their communities. Paid for by Dairy Farmer of Wisconsin.What happens when the sports spotlight ends? It could be by the athletes choice or not. What's next? For Marcus Landry, a former UW-Madison Badger basketball player, his playing career ended at 35. Stephanie Hoff learns that Landry found agriculture when his wife sent him for eggs. He returned with 14 chickens instead in the back of her Cadillac Escalade. He jokingly refers to it as providing a "life supply of eggs" rather than just a carton. He says those were initially kept in the living room while he built a coop outside. Today Landry and his family share their farm with students and 4-H members from the area as they work on their business plans for life.

The crowning of this year's Wisconsin Fairest of the Fairs looked a little bit different than the first one that took place 60 years ago. Connie McCallister was the first to wear the crown. She reflects on her experience and compares the program in its beginning to its current competition.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"In 1960s New York City lived a blind, often homeless man with a long, flowing beard, who dressed as a Viking and stood sentinel at the corner of West 54th Street and Sixth Avenue in midtown Manhattan. He sold his poetry and performed on custom-built percussion.  His recordings are considered legendary pieces of original sound emanating from a unique artist who continues to be misunderstood and under appreciated.""Nico was used to being treated as a physical spectacle. At the Dom, Leonard Cohen was a regular guest, and he began writing songs in hopes of seducing her. Her improbable bone structure, and her role in “La Dolce Vita,” intrigued prominent rock managers like Albert Grossman, who worked with Bob Dylan. But her songs were less appealing, and the Dom's clientele often laughed through her set. She was eventually accompanied on guitar by Tim Buckley, and then by Jackson Browne, who had just arrived in New York. Browne became enamored with Nico, and before they fell out—she accused him of harassing her with obscene phone calls—he gave her two songs: “The Fairest of the Seasons” and “These Days,” both of which appeared on her 1967 début, “Chelsea Girl.”-

Cold and slick days are ahead according to ag meteorologist Stu Muck. He reminds listeners to dress appropriately for the weather and stay safe while driving. When people are walking through the grocery store they are faced with many options. Kiley Allan talks with Charlie Arnot, the CEO at the Center for Food Integrity, to give insight into why consumers will pick certain items. He says farmers should be honest about their products even when it is difficult. The 60th Fairest of the Fairs has been crowned. Kiley Allan has a chat with Kaelie Billingsley of Kenosha County to see what her feeling was when her name was read. Rob Shields, the Chair of the Wisconsin Certified Crop Adviser Board, gives a look at the current agriculture climate from his perspective. Host Ben Jarboe talks with Ryan Yonkman, the Vice President of EverAg to get an update on the dairy industry. He says the signing of the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act and the updated Dairy Margin Coverage is good news during the current low prices. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Last year brought many challenges for Christian fantasy fans. From flops at the theaters now threatened by streaming slop, to creators making more events for Christian storytelling, to the continued growth of biblical fiction as the top genre of Christian-made entertainment—let's survey the top ten fantasy-related headlines from last year. Episode sponsors Edmund Spenser's The Faerie Queen The Case of the Heart Stone by Tulli Cole Above the Circle of Earth by E. Stephen Burnett Mission update New at Lorehaven: many features over the holidays! We announced our new book quest in the Lorehaven Guild: Taliesin Onscreen: ‘Stranger Things' Season Five Gives Weight to Parents' Fears, A. D. Sheehan Onscreen: ‘David' Creators Answer all Your Questions About the Animated Hit Movie, Josh Shepherd Engage: Alleged ‘Rock and Roll' Soundtrack Incites Suspicion of Netflix's Narnia Movie, newcomer Sierra Simopoulos Sierra Simopoulos also reviewed Sons of Day and Night My own article: Why Christians Need Fantastical Stories Subscribe free to get updates and join the Lorehaven Guild Stop by the homepage for many upgrades, especially the Library. Soon: discover the Guild's new wing, the Lorehaven Authorship. 10. Superheroes failed to save ailing cinema Marvel movies, despite their strengths, all flopped at the box office. Personally I did like Fantastic Four: First Steps, but didn't love it. Lorehaven folks were generally positive about some hero movies. ‘Captain America: Brave New World' Labors to Save a Struggling MCU, Marian A. Jacobs The Antiheroes of Thunderbolts* Preach to Marvel Itself, Daniel Whyte IV ‘Superman' (2025) Will Make You Believe a Man Can Be Earnest, Josiah DeGraaf However, audiences were tepid; none of these films broke even. The greatest foe of superheroes? Flippancy. Next: lack of family. MCU reached its apex with creators who at least feigned sincerity. DC's nobledark tone was winning fans, until the studio freaked out. 9. Disney's ‘Snow White' remake bombed Sticking with cinemas, this one might be the year's greatest fail. ‘Snow White' (2025) Isn't the Fairest of Adaptations, Parker J. Cole I didn't see it. Few people did. More people saw YouTube roasts. This whole nonsense was an ugly reflection of three terrible trends ruining films: “woke” checkboxes, cynicism, and corporate gloss. 8. Fans abandoned legacy sci-fi franchises Once a Doctor Who hero, Russell T. Davies has ruined that series. Star Trek is adrift, desperately trying to hail imaginary “new fans.” Of course, Star Wars keeps failing to please its own alienated fans. The greatest culprit here: Godless, sex-obsessed progressivism. One can't correct from this without visibly rejecting “woke” politics. 7. K-Pop Demon Hunters owned the summer We haven't had a genuine pop-culture movie phenomenon in ages. Then along comes this little giant animated movie on Netflix. ‘K-Pop Demon Hunters' Pits Singing Heroines vs. Monster Idols, Marian A. Jacobs Kids sang catchy songs. Adults found deeper themes to explore. YouTube reactions and covers on Instagram/TikTok exploded. For the first time, Netflix had a true four-quadrant hit on its hands. And dear Lord, may they learn only the right lessons from this, and not turn this into another streaming slop like so much other stuff. 6. ‘Woke' stories stepped back, yet persisted 251. Could a Cultural ‘Vibe Shift' Advance Christian-Made Fiction? Due to political events we won't detail, that agenda is on the wane. At least the Sexualityism religion is seen as stale and unstable. Many are still trying to figure out what, if any, ideas will replace it. A. D. Sheehan had to critique Brandon Sanderson, a late arrival to the “woke” content scene: Brandon Sanderson's New Fantasy ‘Wind and Truth' Summons a Postmodern Cringestorm. Oddly enough, we keep seeing Christian parents posting about the random books they find, after which they ask “Is it woke?” Pro tip: yeah, it's probably woke, especially with a cover like that. By now we surely have enough Christian-made novels to help? 5. Corporate slop threatens human stories 274. Why Shouldn't AI-Generated Content Replace Human Stories? This is partly about AI-generated slop, but not always. Skeptical fans now refer to anything bad with “this looks AI.” Why? Because the problem goes deeper than technology amok. Long before AI, corporate studios began relying on algorithms. I believe that's when these stories began feeling less, well, human. 272. Can We Save Cinema from Sloppy Stories? Instead of human hunches, stories get greenlit by metallic minds. Reference: the short-lived run of Robert Zemekis mocap movies. At first people express curiosity, but eventually they get bored. Prediction: this too shall pass. We'll see a lot of forced “firsts,” like “the first fully AI-generated movie.” They may even succeed. But the novelty will quickly wear off as it did before Mars Needs Moms. Still, Christian creators must dig deeper to defend organic human stories with philosophies deeper than “AI destroys the Earth.” 4. Conservative TV is trying more fantasy We greatly anticipate the DailyWire+ show The Pendragon Cycle. Based on Stephen Lawhead's novels, seven episodes drop Jan. 22. Christian showrunner Jeremy Boreing actually stepped down from being Daily Wire co-CEO, it seems, to ensure finishing this series. Political hot takes scarcely outlast the day. Great stories last long. Alas, there's the constantly controversial Magician's Nephew movie Marketing for this is dreadful, with publicly floated nonsense about an actress playing Aslan or the movie featuring “rock and roll.” 257. By Aslan's Mane, is Netflix Really Casting a Lady as the Lion? Meanwhile, platforms like Angel (run by LDS members, yet with freedom for Christians) released The Wingfeather Saga season 2. We also saw a new angel-heroes show, Gabriel and the Guardians. ‘Gabriel and the Guardians' Echoes a Golden Era of Saturday Morning Cartoons, Jenneth Leed Alas, any sci-fi-ish efforts seem restricted to dystopian dramas. We need higher budgets and risks to widen those genre limits. 3. Realm Makers unites Christian creators 265. How Can We Shine the Gospel at the Realm Makers Expo? 266. How Do You Assemble a New Expo for Christian Fandoms? | with Scott Minor Last year's conference in Grand Rapids marked an experiment. Can this organization blend creator training with a public expo? Results were mixed-positive, mainly because of the venue choice. For me, a debut sci-fi novelist, results may have skewed better. Yet our primary audience must be Christian fans and families. A semi-major downtown is difficult for these folks to access. Next year's new venue in St. Louis looks much more promising! And it sounds like the public Expo will be easier for fans to access. For Christian fantasy to grow, we must unite over common interest. Yet this unity must be based on love for the true Jesus, our Author. 2. Biblical fiction is the top Christian genre There's no contest. Amish and historical fiction is dethroned. Christian fantasy (mostly romantasy) remains confined to books. Amazon's ‘House of David' Anoints an Intriguing Biblical Epic, Michael Allen ‘House of David' Is Crowned King of Amazon Prime, Jenneth Leed 1. Fantasy for teen/YA women continues to rule the Christian-made fantastical worlds This might well be the repeat headline from previous years. Facts are facts. Teen girls and women outread everyone else. When they like fantasy, they prefer female heroes/relationships. Romantasy is the queen. And her handmaiden is royal drama. 249. What is ‘Romantasy'? | with Parker J. Cole And the new princess on the block? Time-travel romance, for sure. 263. What is Time-Travel Romance? | Every Hour Until Then with Gabrielle Meyer These books get the most attention on Instagram and elsewhere. Is it true that “men don't read”? Not necessarily. Men do read. But they tend to read nonfiction about culture, theology, history. And for fantastical fiction, these readers have unique expectations. Christians here favor proven legacies, especially Lewis/Tolkien. One can't complain about the reality. Instead, meet the standard. Frankly, that's my hope for Above the Circle of Earth and beyond. Of course I support teen/YA female-focused fantasy stories! Yet that's not my genre; it doesn't help me, personally, grow in joy. Surely there are more readers who favor other kinds of stories, maybe deeper, maybe in underdog genres like sci-fi and horror. Christians must expect a true joyous sci-fi future under King Jesus. And we uniquely understand supernatural realities/horror today. But making new stories isn't enough. We must cultivate readers. That's our mission at Lorehaven with our new mission statement: Escape bad books. Find the best Christian fantasy and sci-fi! Watch this space for more about bad books, reader cultivation, and new resolutions to avoid scroll traps and level up your imagination. Com station Top question for listeners What was your top fantasy story or least-liked story in 2025? Next on Fantastical Truth “In one cataclysmic moment, millions around the world disappear.” Jesus returned thirty years ago. Or rather, He sort of pre-returned, the warm-up act, if you will. Many faithful Christians believe in this kind of “rapture.” And in December 1995, two authors teamed up and used this idea to create the most successful biblical end-times thriller we've yet seen. Last summer, we overviewed the series. Yet now we'll ask how that first Left Behind novel has aged, thirty years after its release.

Aaron “Gocsy” Gocs is back on the couch to unpack his love affair with one of footy's great battler clubs: the St Kilda Saints. From growing up a Broncos and NRL kid in Brisbane to falling in love with Melbourne's AFL culture, Gocsy explains how family ties, Shane Warne, Eric Bana and a bit of self-imposed suffering turned him into a diehard Saints tragic.We yarn about his unofficial role with the club, shooting vids with players, getting shouted membership when he was broke, rubbing shoulders at Best & Fairest nights and copping it non-stop from fans of richer clubs. Gocsy breaks down sports fandom, why people act like they won the premiership, and why following a struggler teaches you to actually enjoy the little wins in footy - and in life.#propertrueyarn Hosted on Acast.

This composition is a multi-layered synth improvisation, reacting in real time to the sounds of the breaking waves and calling birds in the field recording. Listening through to the full recording four or five times to immerse myself in the location, I then responded live to the recording on three passes with three separate synth sounds, allowing the emotions I felt listening to the recording to guide the performance, instead of a formal structure. The title comes from the poem by druidic bard Amergin Glangel: “I am the Wind that blows across the Sea I am the Wave of the Ocean I am the Murmur of the Billows I am the Bull of the Seven Combats I am the Vulture on the Rock I am a Ray of the Sun I am the Fairest of Flowers I am a Wild Boar in Valour I am a Salmon in the Pool I am a Lake on the Plain I am the Skill of the Craftsman I am a Word of Science I am the Spear-point that gives Battle I am the god who creates in the head of man the Fire of Thought. Who is it that Enlightens the Assembly upon the mountain, if not I? Who tells the ages of the moon, if not I? Who shows the place where the sun goes to rest, if not I? Who calls the cattle from the House of Tethra? On whom do the cattle of Tethra smile? Who is the god that fashions enchantments - the enchantment of battle and the wind of change?"

Mitch Cleary calls in with a wrap on day 1 of the AFL Trade Period - including Merrett, Curnow, Petracca, Oliver, and many more big names.

You're walking through a busy modern city—and then a towering Gothic church stops you in your tracks. That's exactly what happened to me in Bristol, when I stumbled upon St Mary Redcliffe, a church Queen Elizabeth I herself called “the fairest, goodliest and most famous parish church in England.” I'm Claire Ridgway, historian and author, and in this episode I share the story behind this incredible Tudor site—from Elizabeth's 1574 visit, to her letters patent for its restoration, to the royal grammar school she founded right next door. Did you know a statue of Elizabeth I from her lifetime still survives—inside this very church? Join me as I explore this hidden Tudor gem and reveal why it should be on every history lover's travel list. I also share a few other places to visit in Bristol, including the nearby cathedral and the fascinating M Shed museum.

In this special podcast originally aired by the St. Josemaria Institute, Fr. Javier del Castillo reflects on the feast of Mary, Mother of Fairest Love (February 14th), and the significance of this Marian title in the life of the Church and the history of Opus Dei. Listen to dive into the history of Mary, Mother of Fairest Love starting from the Old Testament, to how St. Josemaria Escriva helped to revive the devotion to Mary as “the guardian of the beauty of chastity” and “as a way of praying for holy purity, for the sanctity of marriage, for the sanctity of the family, and for vocations to celibacy.”

Bishop Gomez's homily from the Mass of Enthronement of Mary Mother Fairest Love on June 26th, 2025 at St. Louise de Marillac in Covina, CA.

Send us a textThe Gents have always been fans of parody and cultural references, especially in animated comedy shows. That is why when Family Guy did a highlight for Barstool's One Bite (2:00), EstoBro and TV greatly appreciate Seth MacFarlane for always staying relevant with their jokes. As they depart the roller coaster that was the cold open, the Gents freely riff the multimedia and entertainment episode. It takes them a minute, and they finally reach the point where they address the state of Disney Studios after the release of the live action of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves (26:45). In such a symbolic IP for the Disney franchise, which is shrouded by more controversy than a film should be, the Gents highlight why this film is performing under expectations and why Disney does not care if it succeeds or fails. EstoBro and TV heed the warning on what tightrope Disney is walking, especially when their MCU studio has received lukewarm reviews with the latest entries for comic book films. The summer blockbuster fight will occur between the MCU and DC cinematic studios, now led by James Gunn (48:00). A great debate on the state of films in March, right here on the EstoBro TV Podcast.Theme song made by iamRavedadInteract with the Gents of the podcast on the following social media platforms:X (Formally known as Twitter) YouTube InstagramBlog/websiteJoin the Discord serverSubscribe to the official playlist of the podcast
