Podcasts about fatherland

In Episode 228, Sarah, Catherine (@GilmoreGuide), and Chrissie (@ChrissieWhitley) take stock of the reading year so far, discussing the books, publishing trends, and industry chatter that have defined the first half of 2026. They dive into the biggest publishing stories of the year, the rise of "cozy everything," the continued influence of self-publishing and book-to-screen success stories, and whether it's possible to tap a Book of the Year before the second half of the publishing calendar arrives. Then, they share their Top 5 Books of 2026 So Far and a few disappointing reads that didn't quite live up to expectations.

Michael Drew (Guest)CALI THE DESTROYER is a bold and highly stylized work of visionary fiction that blends dystopian themes, mythological symbolism, and speculative romance into a provocative and imaginative narrative. Sol Luckman constructs a world that is both futuristic and allegorical, using heightened reality to explore control systems, awakening, and resistance.At its core, the story presents a reality where societal structures have collapsed into a controlled, surveillance driven “Fatherland,” shaped by patriarchal power, hidden forces, and distorted systems of authority. Against this backdrop, the narrative introduces Cali and Juice, characters whose connection becomes both personal and mythic, suggesting a bond that transcends ordinary time and identity.What makes the book distinctive is its fusion of genres and tones. It moves between dystopian critique, supernatural romance, and spiritual allegory, often within the same narrative space. This gives the novel a surreal, almost dreamlike quality, where symbolic meaning often carries as much weight as plot progression.Thematically, the book is driven by ideas of awakening, resistance, and hidden truth. It explores what happens when individuals begin to question the systems around them and perceive reality as something constructed rather than fixed. The introduction of mythological and Gnostic elements amplifies this sense of revelation, positioning the story as both a rebellion narrative and a metaphysical journey.The romantic element between Cali and Juice adds emotional intensity and grounding to the broader philosophical themes. Their connection is framed as timeless and foundational, reinforcing the idea that identity and love can exist beyond imposed structures.Overall, CALI THE DESTROYER is a visionary and symbolic dystopian novel that will strongly appeal to readers who enjoy metaphysical fiction, myth driven storytelling, speculative rebellion narratives, and experimental blends of romance and philosophy.

Jonas und Alper sind zurück aus Cannes. Sie haben sich den Sand aus ihren Sandalen geschüttelt und die Flut an Filmen auf dem Festival verarbeitet. Zusammen mit Xenia sprechen sie über drei wichtige Gewinner-Filme vom Filmfestival Cannes: FJORD, MINOTAUR und FATHERLAND. Außerdem sprechen sie darüber, ob die romantische Eishockey-Serie OFF CAMPUS es mit HEATED RIVALRY aufnehmen kann und wie sie das Finale von THE BOYS fanden. Also viel Spaß mit dieser neuen Podcastfolge hier bei CINEMA STRIKES BACK!

durée : 00:05:00 - Le masque et la plume - par : Rebecca Manzoni - Le film "Fatherland" de Pawel Pawlikowski revient sur le retour en Allemagne de l'écrivain Thomas Mann en 1949.

The Cannes awards are here, and somehow the Oscar race feels less clear than it did before.In this episode of The Oscars Outsider Podcast, we react to the major winners from the Cannes Film Festival, including the Palme d'Or win for Fjord, and try to figure out what any of it means for the Oscar race.The big question: did Cannes give us a new frontrunner, or did it make the whole season even messier?We dig into the Screen Cannes jury grid, where Fjord landed at 2.5 while several other contenders, including Fatherland, Minotaur, and All of a Sudden, scored higher. We also talk through the mismatch between critical consensus and jury awards, which films feel stronger after Cannes, which ones suddenly look shakier, and whether the Palme winner is actually positioned for Oscar attention.If you follow Cannes, Oscar season, festival buzz, or the strange gap between critics' favorites and awards bodies, this episode is for you.Subscribe for more Oscar race analysis, festival reactions, and awards season chaos.

The Guardian's Peter Bradshaw has been sending dispatches from Cannes since 1999. If you ask him what's changed in 27 years, he claims: nothing. He means it as a compliment.Hugo Emmerzael sits down with the legendary film critic on the Croisette mapping out Peter's journey through film, from his first memory of cinema through the strange, accidental route into one of the most-read critic chairs in the English-speaking press. They get into why only Cannes, among the major film festivals, still places film criticism at the heart of it all.Plus five films that caught Peter's attention this year: Andrey Zvyagintsev's Minotaur, Paweł Pawlikowski's Fatherland, Rodrigo Sorogoyen's Beloved, Marine Atlan's La Gradiva, and Clio Barnard's I See Buildings Fall Like Lightning, and why we should value the politics inside the films rather than the statements and press conferences around them.Get tickets to ⁠Cine of The Times: The Fast And The Furious⁠ @ LAB111 Get tickets to ⁠Moving incl.

Jak rosyjskie media budują w maju 2026 r. obraz Polski jako kraju frontowego, zdradzającego Ukrainę i prześladującego przyjaciół Rosji? I dlaczego w tym samym maju rosyjskojęzyczna prasa emigracyjna z szacunkiem pisze o polskim kinie — a na gali w Cannes spotykają się drogi Pawła Pawlikowskiego i Andrieja Zwiagincewa?W odcinku: karetki w Rzeszowie jako „dowód" udziału NATO w wojnie, zwalniani lekarze z Ukrainy i zero punktów od ukraińskiego jury na Eurowizji, postrzelony Białorusin i anatomia operacji informacyjnej, sprawa archeologa Butiagina i szpiegów ABW, Ziobro jako „biegłyj" i Artiemij Lebiediew bez wizy Schengen, zjazd historyków w Baranowie Sandomierskim i cień Wołynia, nekrolog Piesiewicza w „Kommersancie" oraz Cannes 2026 — Pawlikowski, Zwiagincew i apel do Putina ze sceny.Po podcaście zapraszamy na felieton Nikodema Cudzicha z cyklu Alfabet Ukrainy — literka Є, Je Bali.Zaprasza Bartosz Gołąbek.Wsparcie projektu:

El Festival de Cannes nos permite, cada año, hacer una fotografía a la industria del cine mundial. Por dentro y por fuera. De sus fortalezas y sus debilidades. Es decir, conocemos cuáles son las dinámicas de la industria, con los precios por las nubes y con el temor a que la estabilidad y el peso del cine de autor desaparezca por la falta de apoyo institucional, por la amenaza de la extrema derecha y por las dinámicas de un capitalismo que también quiere adueñarse del arte libre. La sección oficial de este certamen, el más importante del mundo, refleja tendencias comunes y muestra los miedos y sufrimientos que tenemos. Lo hace mirando al presente, con películas como la del japonés Hamaguchi y buscando como desafiar al sistema, y la del ruso Andrey Zvyagintsev. También mirando al pasado, a ese momento donde empezaron los problemas que hoy no sabemos cómo solucionar. ‘Fatherland', ‘

Quel film succédera à « Un simple accident », Palme d'or l'an dernier ? Les jeux semblent très ouverts pour le jury présidé par le cinéaste sud-coréen Park Chan Wook. Plusieurs films sont de sérieux candidats à la récompense cannoise, signés du Roumain Christian Mungiu, de l'Américain James Gray ou du Russe Andreï Zviaguintsev. Mais il faut compter aussi sur de nouveaux venus, comme Emmanuel Marre ou Rodrigo Sorogoyen. On dresse le bilan de cette édition avec trois critiques de cinéma. La Palme d'or 2026 sera-t-elle décernée à Fatherland de Pawel Pawlikowski ? Minotaure du Russe Andreï Zviaguintsev ou Paper Tiger de James Gray ? Que retenir de ce millésime 2026 marqué par une polémique qui agite le cinéma français, après la pétition lancée par 600 professionnels de cinéma pour s'inquiéter de la mainmise du milliardaire Vincent Bolloré, et de son projet idéologique d'extrême droite, sur le cinéma français. On parle films, coups de cœur, déceptions et agitation politique avec trois critiques : Maria-Carolina Pina, notre consœur de la rédaction hispanophone de RFI, elle y présente l'émission Carrusel de las artes, Étienne Sorin du quotidien Le Figaro et Ben Croll qui écrit dans Variety, Indie Wire et The Wrap. Musiques : Popcorn de Gershon Kingsley, et Libertango de Grace Jones.

La película "Fjord" se alzó el sábado con la Palma de Oro a la Mejor película al término de la 79ₐ edición del Festival de Cannes. La elegante velada en el Palacio de los Festivales congregó a la crema y nata del cine mundial, con la presencia de artistas como Penélope Cruz, Zoe Saldaña o Geena Davis. El aclamado director rumano Cristián Mungiu alzó el sábado la segunda Palma de Oro de su carrera por "Fjord", un drama sobre las diferencias culturales entre los países de Europa a través de una piadosa pareja rumano-noruega que se instala con su familia en un fiordo. Cuando las maestras de los niños descubren moretones en sus cuerpos, la sociedad comienza a cuestionar las costumbres conservadoras de los padres evangélicos y estalla un álgido debate en medio de la atmosfera glacial nórdica. “Déjenme por favor saborear este momento. Un premio de esta categoría, por segunda vez… Hoy en día es un riesgo elevar la voz frente a los peligros que nos acechan. Hay cosas de las nadie quiere hablar. Las sociedades están fracturadas. Y esta es una película contra el autoritarismo”, dijo Mungiu al recibir la máxima recompensa del festival. Leer también"Siempre soy tu animal materno" de Valentina Maurel: miradas cruzadas en Cannes El director rumano es un invitado recurrente de Cannes, donde ha recibido numerosos premios, principalmente una primera Palma de Oro en 2007 por la extraordinaria “4 meses, 3 semanas, 2 días” sobre una chica que debe recurrir a un aborto clandestino en Rumania. Los españoles Javier Ambrossi y Javier Calvo fueron honrados con el Premio a la Mejor dirección por « La bola negra », junto al polaco Pawel Pawlikowski por su increible "Fatherland", sobre un viaje del escritor Thomas Mann y su hija por Alemania. El jurado decidió entregar su premio a la alemana "La aventura soñada" de Valeska Grisebach, mientras que "Minotauro" del ruso Andrei Zviaguintsev ganó el Gran Premio. Leer también"El ser querido" de Rodrigo Sorogoyen en Cannes: radiografía de un tóxico El Premio al Mejor guion fue para Emmanuel Marre por su cinta "Notre salut", un drama histórico ambientado en la Segunda Guerra Mundial, y que había recibido excelentes críticas por parte de la prensa francesa. Para esta película sobre un funcionario colaboracionista con el régimen nazi, Marre se inspiró de la historia de su bisabuelo. El premio a la Mejor interpretación masculina fue entregado a Emmanuel Macchia y Valentin Campagne, protagonistas de "Coward" de Lukas Dhont. De su lado, las actrices belga Virginie Effira y la japonesa Tao Okamoto fueron premiadas por sus respectivos papeles en "All of a sudden" de Ryusuke Hamaguchi. Leer también"Ceniza en la boca" de Diego Luna: migrar, maternar y empezar de nuevo en España La gala de cierre permitió entregar una Palma de oro de honor a Barbra Streissand por el conjunto de su carrera, anunciado por la diva francesa Isabelle Huppert. Streissand sin embargo no pudo estar presente, aunque envió un mensaje donde habló de su pasión por el cine y de su poder para "abrir corazones y mentes". En esta edición del Festival de Cannes se entregaron otros dos reconocimientos similares, a Peter Jackson y John Travolta. El primer premio anunciado durante la velada fue el galardón al Mejor Cortometraje, que fue para el argentino Federico Luis, por su cinta "Para los contrincantes", que cuenta el universo de las peleas de boxeo infantil en el barrio de Tepitos, en Ciudad de México.

Jesteśmy idealnie w połowie festiwalu. Poziom filmów z dnia na dzień wzrasta. Nie wyłonił się jeszcze jednoznaczny faworyt krytyków, ale Fatherland zaczyna mieć coraz mocniejszą konkurencję o złotą palmę.Dzisiaj obejrzałam film, który zaspokoił mój konkursowy niedosyt FJORD reż. Cristian Mungiu. To subtelna opowieść o tym, jak pięciodzietna rodzina stara się zaadaptować w nowym środowisku, jakim są fiordy norweskie. Obserwujemy ich od pierwszego dnia w nowej szkole i pracy. Pojawiają się trudności związane z różnicą kulturową, które okazują się kluczowe w świetle prawa. Niedopowiedzenia i piękne pejzaże natury. Więcej  o Fjordzie opowiemy w następnym podcaście!

Cannes is almost over, which means it is time to make our Palme d'Or predictions.In this episode, we break down the Cannes competition, make our picks for who we think could win the Palme d'Or, and talk through which films might carry momentum into the Oscar race. We get into the strange energy of this year's festival, the movies that seem built for jury attention, the ones that could break out later, and whether Cannes still feels like the launchpad it used to be.Along the way, we also talk John Travolta's honorary Palme d'Or, Paul Schrader's Cannes grumpiness, Jacob Elordi's jury absence, and the general chaos of trying to read festival buzz from afar. The episode sets up the Palme prediction segment directly in the intro, so this title and thumbnail are aligned with what the show actually promises.Chapters:0:00 Intro0:42 John Travolta's honorary Palme d'Or & Paul Schrader4:24 Setting the stage: Cannes wraps up5:06 Top storylines & the Screen jury grid (Fatherland, Minotaur)9:43 Standing ovations & the clapping arms race12:08 Polarizing films & Fjord (Cristian Mungiu)14:01 Where's Hollywood?

Puntata in diretta da Cannes dove quest'anno mancano gli americani ma la gente è più dell'anno scorso. L'evento mondano è Vin Diesel che celebra i 25 anni di Fast and Furious con un discorso di mezz'ora e una giacca tempestata di diamanti che compongono la sagoma di un'auto con la scritta "Fast Forever", coattaggine a livelli inediti. Statham è al mercato a vendere il prossimo film con David Ayer perché i suoi film d'azione hanno un rapporto qualità-prezzo imbattibile. Faster invece si è piegato alla modernità e consiglia caldamente Legends su Netflix, serie thriller avvincente da goccette per l'ansia. Tra i film il più bello è Fatherland, la storia di Thomas Mann che torna nella Germania divisa del dopoguerra, sulla carta noiosissimo ma in realtà molto toccante. Da tenere d'occhio il documentario The Match sulla famosa Inghilterra-Argentina del gol di mano, che secondo chi l'ha visto è un capolavoro. In chiusura un film giapponese di 3 ore da cui si esce un attimo provati.

Rhineland: Hitler's Last Defence, 1944–45 by Anthony Tucker-Jones is a dramatic retelling of the desperate battle of the Rhineland during World War II from the German perspective.The Rhineland was where Adolf Hitler sowed the seeds for the Second World War when he remilitarized it in breach of the Treaty of Versailles in 1936, and by late 1944 the Rhine provided the last major obstacle to the advancing Allied armies that were threatening the Fatherland itself.In this new history of this vital campaign, respected military historian Tucker-Jones describes the race against time as the Germans fought to stave off the inevitable. It was essential that the Germans held the west bank in order to protect the Rhine crossings at Cologne, Bonn, Koblenz and Remagen, but Hitler was intent on counter-attacking in the Ardennes in the winter of 1944 and this meant there was little left to bolster the defences of the Rhine.Rhineland relates the course of this desperate defence, describing the build-up of forces and operational plans before going on to tell the story of the campaign from the point of view of the forces involved, from the ordinary German soldier through to the high command.Anthony Tucker-Jones, a former intelligence officer, is a highly prolific writer and military historian with well over 50 books to his name. His work has also been published in an array of magazines and online. He regularly appears on television and radio commenting on current and historical military matters.#rhineland #worldwar2 #hitler #podcast #authorpodcast #anthonytuckerjones #speakingofwriterspodcast

Investigators hunting for Maksim Yakubets, allege he is working with the FSB – Russia's security agency. They say the Evil Corp gang has stolen more than $100m from at least 300 victim organisations in 43 countries - but who is the powerful man in Moscow said to be protecting Maksim, their alleged leader? We follow his family's journey from a humble sausage factory in Ukraine to the Russian high-life – and the frontier of cybercrime. Hosted by Joe Tidy, the BBC's cyber correspondent – one of the few Western journalists to have met an alleged member of Evil Corp – and the BBC's Sarah Rainsford, who spent more than two decades reporting from Moscow.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZw1prITHfg Comrade Vicky of the CPGB-ML speaks about the central role and tremendous impact that revolutionary working women had upon the Great Socialist October Revolution of November 7th 2017, at our celebration of its 108th anniversary held in Saklatvala Hall, Southall, London on Saturday November 8th 2025. Not only did the Women's struggle launch the strike that triggered the October Revolution, but the Bolshevik party and movement would not have succeeded were it not for the participation of very many women throughout its ranks - from Alexandra Kollontai (People's Commissar for Welfare in the initial Soviet government - unheard of and undreampt of in the capitalist nations in 1917!), to Krupskaya and tens of thousands more. Indeed no revolutionary workers movement can succeed unless it is able to mobilise the working women for the struggle. Having come to power, the Revolutionary Soviet government in the RSFSR, in re-building the economy, in uprooting norms of exploitative society, in educating the entire population, and in re-writing the laws and the constitution of the Russian and other Soviet Nations, remade society to suite the needs of the working class and peasant masses, and in so doing revolutionised relations between men and women. For the first time the communist society, under the dictatorship of the proletariat and peasantry, put women on an equal footing, creating legal and actual physical social conditions that allowed women to take a full and active part in the running of society, to work and to govern -- including the mass provision of socialised childcare, creates, kindergartens, and high quality dining-rooms and restaurants throughout the territory of the Soviet Union. It was, of course, the Soviet government that not only decreed the equality of women, but gave the women full equality and full voting rights - more than a decade before the Suffaragist movement in Britain succeeded in wresting any voting concessions for women. Truly, in the Soviet Union, Women held up half the sky! Vicky explains the heroic role that Soviet Women took in the ranks of the Red Army, in smashing the Imperialist war of intervention and above all in defeating and dismantling the German Nazi War Machine, launched with vitriolic fury against he Soviet people on June 22nd 1941. This year is the 80th anniversary of the great victory of the Fatherland liberation war and great ant-fascist war, in which the Soviet people gave 27b million lives to Vanquish German and European Fascism - and China some 40 million to Vanquish Japanese Fascism.

During the summer break, the 15-Minute History podcast team are republishing some of their favorite episodes. This episode originally aired on June 12, 2023.___The dull hum of aircraft filled the morning air. German soldiers looked up from the French town of St. Lô, expecting to see a few enemy fighters bearing down on them. Their hearts froze in their chests as nearly a thousand bombers emerged from the clouds. They had heard of the devastation wrought by their enemy on the Fatherland's cities, but St. Lô was only a tiny provincial settlement far from the Paris metropolis. In minutes, their world was aflame as Allied bombs exploded around them and tore flesh and metal apart in equal measure. The panzer division holding St. Lô was nearly annihilated in the first of three waves, and little was left as the sun reached its noon height. Then, the survivors heard engines approaching from the north and east in the direction of the Normandy beaches. Tanks and half-tracks bearing white stars swarmed through the town, finishing off the defenders and ripping open the Nazi left flank that had held the Allies back for over a month.The Third United States Army is one of the best-known units of the Second World War. From the opening move on St. Lô in August 1944 to the war's end nine months later, it liberated an area of Nazi-occupied Europe roughly the size of Afghanistan. Its soldiers were the best-trained men in the US Army, its officers and NCOs among the most professional in American military history, and its record of battle remains unsurpassed in enemy casualties inflicted and land covered. Most of the credit is due, of course, to the soldiers in tanks and trucks, but even the proudest of these would point to their commander as the man who made the Third Army such a terrifying weapon of war: General George S. Patton, Jr.Join us for this special, double-length episode of 15-Minute History as we teach you about General George Patton, his life, leadership, heroism, and his effect on the world we know today.

New Yorker staff writer Burkhard Bilger doesn't have great teeth. According to Bilger, his “gaptoothed grin” makes him look like he came from a bar fight or a remake of “Deliverance.” Given his lousy dental insurance, a friend recommended that Bilger head to Mexico's “Molar City,” Los Algodones, a place that has the highest per capita concentration of dentists in the world, to get his teeth fixed. Medical tourism is nothing new, but few think of going abroad for their teeth. Yet most Americans have inadequate dental insurance and the system is geared to abandon you just when you need it the most. We talk to Bilger and dental professionals about why dental care does not get the respect, or coverage, that it deserves. Guests: Burkhard Bilger, journalist and staff writer, New Yorker Magazine; Bilger is the author of "Fatherland" and "Noodling Flatheads" - his most recent piece for the New Yorker was titled "Word of Mouth: A Pilgrimage to Mexico's Molar City" Dr. Lisa Simon, physician, dentist and health researcher; Dr. Simon is also an assistant professor of medicine at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School Learn more about your ad choices.

Aleister Crowley was an English occultist, ceremonial magician, poet, philosopher, political theorist, novelist, mountaineer, and painter. He founded the religion of Thelema, identifying himself as the prophet entrusted with guiding humanity into the Æon of Horus in the early 20th century. Most know of him from his occult celebrity built on the premise, "Do What Thou Will Is The Whole of The Law" but what about his other "secret" life as an agent for the British government? Joel explores more of Crowley's time as a secret agent and how the Beast was a catalyst to drag the United States into World War I. He looks at Crowley's entrance into the U.S. in 1914 and the different handlers he worked for when he came to New York. He takes an even deeper dive into Crowley's time working for George Sylvester Viereck and his writings for The Fatherland, a German propaganda outlet to dissuade the U.S. from entering the war. Lastly, Joel takes a look at the ill-fated, Lusitania, and how Crowley manipulated the Germans into attacking it by orders of British Intelligence.

We're celebrating the birthday month of the iconic Marlene Deitrich by revisiting a special episode from the "Mobituaries" audiobook. Marlene Dietrich cemented her status as a Hollywood legend with a series of iconic performances that flouted traditional women's roles and ignited the screen. But it's her passionate support for the United States, her adopted homeland, and the troops fighting in World War II that led Hitler to label her a traitor to the "Fatherland." When she could have enjoyed the indulgences of fame, she risked everything. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
