Podcasts about Farfar

1957 börjar Britta Aronsson som hushållerska hos familjen Collin och blir kvar i 53 år. Lotten Collin söker svar på varför hon blev kvar så länge. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Farfar ska snart fylla 90. Han pillar med sina frimärken och tillbringar eftermiddagarna på den exklusiva herrklubben Sällskapet. Och så planerar han för vad som ska hända med hans hushållerska Britta när han dör. Hon lagar mat, bakar och putsar kristallkronorna i sexrumsvåningen där de bor tillsammans. Men vem är hon egentligen – och varför har hon stannat i 53 år? Britta stiger av bussen i Bromma hösten 1957. Då har familjen Collin två barn. Ett år senare föds minstingen Fabian. Han ser till att Brittas kjolfåll inte sticker ut under rocken under promenaderna i Humlegården och handlar helgmaten med henne i Östermalmshallen. Han följer med henne till Västergötland på somrarna när hon åker tillbaka till gården för att hjälpa till med skörden. ”Fabian blev Brittas son”, säger farfar. Det blir en historia om hur två familjer flätas samman. Vem är det till slut som tar hand om vem? – När jag började spela in min farfar och hans hushållerska Britta 2008 hade RUT-reformen precis införts, berättar Lotten Collin. Pigdebatten rasade för fullt. Jag började fundera mer på Britta. Vem var hon egentligen? Varför hade hon stannat hos min farfar och farmor hela sitt liv? Britta var barnvakt även åt mig när jag var liten. Hon har lagat pannkakor till mig, borstat mina tänder, dragit min barnvagn. Ändå visste jag knappt vad hon hette i efternamn. Hon var bara Britta. Hon hade alltid varit där, och det kändes som att hon skulle stanna för alltid.Reporter Lotten CollinProducent Håkan EngströmSlutmix Tor Sigvardsson Produktion Stockholm 2023

I doktor Allings väntrum smyger en vild puma in bland patienterna. Året är 1927 och doktorns nya husdjur får känslorna att svalla i skånska Höganäs. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Gustaf Alling från Höganäs skjuter en puma när han är på resa i Argentina. Puman visar sig ha ungar och Gustaf, som är bruksläkare på Höganäsbolaget och älskar djur, bestämmer sig för att ta en av dem med sig hem till Sverige. Pumaungen döps till Bob och får behålla sitt namn, trots att man senare upptäcker att det är en hona.I lilla Höganäs, ja på hela Kullahalvön, väcker Bob uppmärksamhet - inte minst när hon då och då rymmer från läkarvillans trädgård för att ge sig ut på jakt. En och annan höna får emellanåt plikta med sitt liv på bondgårdarna i nordvästra Skåne.Humoristen och normbrytaren doktor Alling Berättelserna om den färgstarke doktor Alling är många i folkminnet och i lokalhistorien - inte minst vad gäller hans hans stora hjärta för sina patienter och hans lust för att skämta med folk.– Farfar var ju en humoristisk person. Han tyckte det var roligt att skoja med folk, emellanåt driva med folk också för den delen, berättar Gustaf Allings barnbarn Christina Alling Linder. Skådespelaren och dragartisten Robert Fux är barnbarnsbarn till den färgstarke doktorn och säger att han själv nog har ärvt vissa drag av Gustaf Alling.– Det fanns ett medvetet normbrytande hos honom och det kan jag känna igen mig också i, det där att nämen... tänk inte hela tiden på vad andra säger och tycker. Gör nånting så att det händer nåt!Dragartisten Robert Fux identifierar sig med puman BobRobert Fux säger också att han själv identifierar sig som Bob ibland.– Jag tycker mycket om pumans läten. Det är precis som mina läten. Jag morrar, jag väser och jag skriker! – Och sen så är ju puman också en omskrivning för en brud eller en tjej. Och det var det ju också! Så att jag tänker också att Bob, som man trodde var då av hankön, som sen visade sig vara en hona, fick skifta identitet. Jag tänker Bob för mig är en förebild i att vara en sak, men uppfattas som en annan.Puman Bob levde till 1941 och står numera uppstoppad i en monter på Höganäs Museum.

In the rarest of occurrences, Chamberlain, Chance and Alex have all played the same game. This time it is Star Wars Outlaws. Unlike modern classics like Spider-Man, however, there is some disagreement on its quality. In other words, Chamberlain hated it and cannot be dissuaded. He brings Nobody Wants To Die and Dungeons of Hinterburg to the table, but makes no progress. Chance is still playing sabacc on Tatooine and Alex has gotten back together with an old girlfriend named X-Com 2, having forgotten how abusive that relationship really was.

In the message, "Good from Far, Far from Good," Pastor Rich Whitter explores Mark 11:1-31, focusing on the contrast between outward appearances and true spiritual health. From Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem to His cleansing of the temple and the cursing of the fig tree, the urgency of genuine faith and righteousness is evident. Pastor Rich emphasizes that like the fig tree, which looked healthy from a distance but bore no fruit, our lives may appear "good" on the outside, yet lack true spiritual substance. The chapter concludes with a powerful call to examine our hearts, ensuring our faith is authentic and fruitful. We hope this message encourages you to embrace Jesus' authority, letting His transformative influence bring genuine growth and righteousness, moving beyond appearances to a deep, life-changing faith.

Are the Russo Brothers back for more Avengers? New Shrek is official and it's not too Far, Far Away, the hit TV series 24 is set to hit the big screen, Blumhouse gives Spawn the royal treatment, and yes, we have a Red Hulk.

To commemorate the release of Twisters (2024), a follow-up to the beloved 90s movie Twister (1996), and a nod to Christmas in July, we thought we would review a randomly discovered holiday take, Christmas Twister. Good idea? Debatable.

FAR, FAR AWAY: 1/4  T:he Next 500 Years: Engineering Life to Reach New Worlds, by Christopher E. Mason.   https://www.amazon.com/Next-500-Years-Engineering-Worlds/dp/0262044404 An argument that we have a moral duty to explore other planets and solar systems—because human life on Earth has an expiration date. Inevitably, life on Earth will come to an end, whether by climate disaster, cataclysmic war, or the death of the sun in a few billion years. To avoid extinction, we will have to find a new home planet, perhaps even a new solar system, to inhabit. In this provocative and fascinating book, Christopher Mason argues that we have a moral duty to do just that. As the only species aware that life on Earth has an expiration date, we have a responsibility to act as the shepherd of life-forms—not only for our species but for all species on which we depend and for those still to come (by accidental or designed evolution). Mason argues that the same capacity for ingenuity that has enabled us to build rockets and land on other planets can be applied to redesigning biology so that we can sustainably inhabit those planets. And he lays out a 500-year plan for undertaking the massively ambitious project of reengineering human genetics for life on other worlds.  As they are today, our frail human bodies could never survive travel to another habitable planet. Mason describes the toll that long-term space travel took on the astronaut Scott Kelly, who returned from a year on the International Space Station with changes to his blood, bones, and genes. Mason proposes a ten-phase, 500-year program that would engineer the genome so that humans can tolerate the extreme environments of outer space—with the ultimate goal of achieving human settlement of new solar systems. He lays out a roadmap of which solar systems to visit first, and merges biotechnology, philosophy, and genetics to offer an unparalleled vision of the universe to come. 1968

Episode 113: A Long Time Ago, In A Podcast Far Far Away Professor Andy, Artstar and Joe are joined by a new pupil, Carrington, who “knows nothing about” Star Wars, but loves anime and is a cosplayer. The group shared their experiences and perceptions of the Star Wars franchise, including discussions about representation and diversity, particularly with regards to the representation of black characters in the franchise. They also discussed their personal views on the franchise. Carrington explained that while her father introduced her to many things, including Star Wars, she never got into it as she found it old and not as appealing as other genres. Carrington and Artstar engage in a discussion about their appreciation for the anime series, One Piece, the appeal of anime in general, attributing it to the genre's advanced storytelling and unique cultural influences. The old nerds discuss their fond childhood memories of Star Wars and their respective nerdy credentials. They shared their experiences of introducing new audiences to the Star Wars universe and debated on the best ways to do so. They touch on the depth and complexity of the Star Wars universe, discussing the evolution of canon and the rich mythology it has created.

Experiences on my two last cruises reminded me that just because my cruise ship is calling into a port does not mean that I can assume it's safe for me to get off and explore. In fact, even in the two most popular cruising regions, the Caribbean and Mediterranean, many of the most visited ports are amongst the riskiest.  Welcome aboard, I'm Gary Bembridge and I'm going to tell you what dangerous ports in these two regions to avoid, and how to keep yourself safe if you've got a cruise booked that's going to one of them.  Link mentioned in the video: Carole Copeland Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/conversations-with-carole/id218435600 Become a Tips For Travellers Patron: https://www.patreon.com/tipsfortravellers and get exclusive Patron-only content, downloads and livestreams Visit my Tips For Travellers YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/tipsfortravellers
