Raphaël Quenard est comédien, scénariste et désormais réalisateur avec son film I Love Peru. Charles Pépin est philosophe et auteur du livre Vivre avec son passé. Cet épisode est le fruit d'une rencontre entre moi et Amaury de breakbuild que je remercie vivementDans un monde tellement polarisé, j'ai eu envie de créer des ponts entre des personnes qui ne se connaissent et que rien ne relie à priori.J'ai démandé à Raphael, un sujet qui l'intéressait particulièrement et il m'a parlé de solitude, j'ai donc décidé de le mettre face à Charles.Dans cet épisode de Vlan, j'ai réuni ces deux personnalités singulières pour parler d'un thème qui me touche profondément : la solitude. Que ce soit dans la création, l'amour ou la philosophie, la solitude nous traverse tous. Mais chacun en fait une expérience radicalement différente.Avec Raphaël, nous avons évoqué la solitude de l'artiste, celle que l'on choisit et qui devient source de puissance créative. Il revient sur le processus de création de son film, réalisé dans le chaos, le flou, et pourtant porteur d'une vérité sensible rare. Il parle aussi, avec beaucoup de sincérité, du deuil amoureux qui a nourri ce projet, de cette fracture intime qui nous laisse souvent sans voix.Charles, lui, éclaire nos échanges de sa pensée précise et lumineuse. Il nous rappelle combien la solitude est un royaume, traversé de moments sublimes et d'autres, plus sombres, où l'on doute, où l'on cherche. Il parle aussi de la solitude morale, celle face à sa conscience, et de celle du politique, seul face au réel.J'ai voulu faire de cet épisode un espace de rencontre, de réflexion, presque une parenthèse où l'on peut penser autrement notre rapport à la création, à la norme, à la marginalité. Avec humour, profondeur et parfois même une forme de poésie, Charles et Raphaël se rejoignent là où l'on ne les attendait pas toujours.Dans cet épisode, nous parlons aussi de rupture amoureuse, de docu-fiction, de la souffrance de ne pas comprendre pourquoi l'on est quitté, et de ce que cela dit de nous. J'ai partagé mon propre vécu, mon « kit de secours pour cœur brisé », et cela a nourri une conversation vraie, sans détour.Citations marquantes« La solitude, je la traque. Elle me connecte à mon cerveau reptilien. » — Raphaël Quenard« Quand tu écris, tu es seul, mais c'est parfois la plus grande des joies. » — Charles Pépin« On n'est pas éduqués à comprendre qu'il n'y a rien à comprendre. » — Raphaël Quenard« Être singulier, c'est être seul à être soi. » — Charles Pépin« L'amour, c'est la plus inestimable des drogues. Et la plus destructrice. » — Raphaël Quenard10 questions structurées posées dans l'interviewQuel lien faites-vous entre solitude et processus de création ?Est-ce que la solitude est une souffrance ou une ressource pour vous ?Comment vivez-vous la reconnaissance après une période d'écriture solitaire ?Peut-on être seul même entouré ?Qu'est-ce que la notoriété change à la solitude ?Quel rôle joue la solitude dans la conscience morale ?Pourquoi avoir choisi de parler d'amour dans ce film ?Quelle est la place du deuil amoureux dans la création artistique ?Est-il possible d'être ami avec ses ex ou d'aimer sans fusionner ?La rupture amicale est-elle plus douloureuse que la rupture amoureuse ?Timestamps clés pour YouTube00:01 – Introduction : rencontre entre Raphaël Quenard et Charles Pépin01:00 – La solitude de l'écrivain et du créateur05:00 – Processus d'écriture, manque d'inspiration et discipline09:00 – Solitude choisie vs isolement subi12:30 – La marginalité comme puissance créative18:00 – La solitude de la célébrité22:30 – Création du film I Love Peru : chaos et docu-fiction26:30 – Le montage comme acte psychanalytique30:00 – La solitude du politique et la confrontation au réel34:00 – Le deuil amoureux, un déclencheur créatif39:00 – L'amour durable et les promesses impossibles44:00 – Fiction et documentaire : trouver le naturel dans le film46:00 – Rupture amicale : douleur silencieuse48:00 – L'amour platonique : un contresens courant50:00 – Est-il possible de désirer l'autre après 40 ans ?Distribué par Audiomeans.

Simon and Rachel speak with the novelist and academic Viet Thanh Nguyen. Born in Vietnam, Viet came to the United States as a refugee in 1975. He completed a PhD in English at Berkeley, moved to Los Angeles for a teaching position at the University of Southern California, and has been there ever since, now as a chair of English and Professor of American Studies and Ethnicity. Viet's first novel, "The Sympathizer", published in 2015, won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and became a New York Times bestseller. HBO also turned "The Sympathizer" into a TV series in 2024, directed by Park Chan-wook. Viet's other books include "The Committed", a sequel to "The Sympathizer", "Nothing Ever Dies: Vietnam and the Memory of War" (a finalist for the National Book Award in non-fiction and the National Book Critics Circle Award) and "Race and Resistance: Literature and Politics in Asian America".

In this thought-provoking Q&A episode of Space Nuts, hosts Heidi Campo and Professor Fred Watson tackle a variety of intriguing listener questions that delve into the realms of astrophysics and the possibilities of life beyond Earth. From the complexities of time dilation to the potential for extraterrestrial communication, this episode is a treasure trove of cosmic knowledge.Episode Highlights:- Time Dilation and Space Travel: The episode kicks off with a fascinating question from listener Peter about the implications of time dilation as depicted in Queen's song "39." Fred explains the calculations needed to understand how a journey at 99.995% the speed of light could allow travelers to experience just one year while 100 years pass on Earth, revealing the mind-bending effects of Einstein's theory of relativity.- Observing Gravitational Waves: Trent from North Georgia poses a compelling question about how observatories can detect light from events that have already emitted gravitational waves. Fred clarifies the relationship between different types of radiation and their detection, using gamma-ray bursts as a prime example of how various signals can provide insight into cosmic events.- Limits of Biological Detection: Listener Chris wonders why organisms on Earth can only sense a limited part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Fred discusses the potential for extraterrestrial life to communicate using different frequencies, exploring the limits of biology and the intriguing possibilities of non-verbal communication in the cosmos.- Earth-Sized Moons Around Gas Giants: Martin raises an interesting question about the possibility of Earth-sized moons orbiting gas giants in other solar systems. Fred elaborates on the feasibility of such moons and their potential to harbor life, while also considering the dynamic challenges posed by their environments.For more Space Nuts, including our continuously updating newsfeed and to listen to all our episodes, visit our website. Follow us on social media at SpaceNutsPod on Facebook, X, YouTube Music Music, Tumblr, Instagram, and TikTok.

Current Sermon Series Faith in Fiction: Finding God Between the Lines June 29 – July 13 Stories have always been God's chosen medium—from ancient parables to modern novels. Literature doesn't just entertain; it reveals profound truths about the human condition, moral struggle, and our deepest longings for meaning and redemption. In this transformative sermon series, we'll explore how faith intersects with great works of fiction, discovering how authors across centuries have wrestled with questions of belief, doubt, sacrifice, and grace.  Each week, we'll examine how fictional characters mirror our own faith journeys—their moments of crisis and revelation, struggles with forgiveness, and encounters with the divine in unexpected places. Join us as we discover that the greatest stories are ultimately about us, our relationship with God, and the enduring narrative of redemption.

633. We talk to Heidi Kim about her research into the novel, Vieux Salomon. "Set in Guadeloupe, New Orleans, the surrounding Louisiana plantations, and briefly in other areas of the South, this is a key text of the history of slavery in Louisiana and the Deep South.There is obviously a difference between memoirs and novels in terms of perception and claims to nonfiction. However, in U.S. antislavery literature, both usually attempted to appeal to the same white mainstream readership (with the exception in this case of Testut's audience being French-speaking and largely Catholic). Most claimed realism; even novels asserted that they depicted events that had happened or were familiar, even if the characters were fictional." "Heidi's research and teaching ranges through 19th-21st century American literature, with specializations in the Japanese American incarceration of World War II, law and literature, and the Cold War period. She has also published on Walt Whitman and antislavery literature, including the partial translation of Louisiana Francophone novel Le Vieux Salomon, and collaborated on interdisciplinary environmental research" (Kim).

Deal, Teel James Glenn, Karen Renner, Daemon Manx, Charles Barouch (aka Oliver Bear), and Stephen Van Patten—as they wrestle with the big questions: How do turbulent times, personal pain, and societal fears become the raw material for compelling stories?

Abby and Patrick sit down with writer Hilary Plum to discuss her remarkable new book, State Champ. A novel at which the politics of abortion stand at the center, but far from a didactically “political novel,” State Champ gives the three an opportunity to explore a suite of deeply psychoanalytic themes and topics: from the gap between our first-person experiences of our bodies to the claims and restrictions made by others on our bodily autonomy; from the purposes of protest to our motivations for undertaking them; from discourses about “regret” versus certainty and judgement; from the knowledge we anticipate to come from experiences versus things we know already versus things that others think they better; and from sex to eating disorders to humor to running and more. The three also reflect on writing and reading novels in 2025, genre, audiences, and on what communication and psychic change we hope fiction can achieve. Hilary Plum, State Champ: https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/state-champ-9781639735433/Hilary's website: http://www.hilaryplum.com/Index for Continuance, a podcast about small press publishing, politics, and practice, hosted by Hilary Plum and Zach Peckham: https://www.csupoetrycenter.com/index-for-continuance-podcastSusan Bordo, “The Body and the Reproduction of Femininity”Have you noticed that Freud is back?

Realizing they have a moment to breathe, the party takes a break to tend to their wounds and enjoy a short rest. They can hear the alarm still ringing in the distance, so they know it's only a matter of time before they're confronted by the enemy. As break draws to a close, Eight approaches Mongo and tries to convince them that they've been fooled and should tear through the Emperor's fortress as payback. Mongo seems to agree and begins sniffing around. He comes to a portion of the far wall and uses the cudgel to break it, revealing a tunnel.Trix insists the party leave without them, feeling they can still convince the Emperor they're still loyal. As the rest of the party head down the tunnel, the Emperor, Erdir and some guards arrive. Despite Trix's best efforts at convincing the Emperor, Erdir produces a glass orb and reveals a “playback” of Trix and Zero having a conversation about Trix's plan. The Emperor then commands Trix to be locked away until their "flawed thinking" can be corrected. When they're alone, hidden away in a dark magic cell within the walls, Trix hears breathing nearby.      Follow Dax @gmdax, Kappa @TheKappaChris, Sebastian @sebastianyue and Wren @ThornyDryad EPISODE CREDITS: Produced by DaxOpening theme music, editing and mixing by WrenLogo Artwork design by JessieCharacter Artwork design by RiyuskiSegment music and sound effects licensed through Epidemic SoundLINKS:Be sure to follow and tag Roads Uncharted on Bluesky!

This week on "Everybody in the Pool," we are on one last week of summer vacation but we didn't want to leave you without anything to listen to any longer! One of Molly's other projects is a podcast called Futureverse, where she and co-host Ramanan Raghavendran interview authors of climate fiction, to try to understand how fiction and science fiction imagine a present or a future in the world of a changing climate. Recently, they interviewed the Harvard professor and scientist Naomi Oreskes. She is known for her climate change activism, for nonfiction works on coordinated disinformation, and for trying to communicate science to the masses — which led her to co-author a work of fiction called The Collapse of Western Civilization. We spoke with her about knowing what's coming, how to stop it, how to win people to your side, and how sometimes fiction can tell better stories than science.LINKS: The Futureverse podcastNaomi OreskesThe Collapse of Western CivilizationAll episodes: https://www.everybodyinthepool.com/Subscribe to the Everybody in the Pool newsletter: https://www.mollywood.co/Become a member and get an ad-free version of the podcast: https://everybodyinthepool.supercast.com/Please subscribe and tell your friends about Everybody in the Pool!

We began recording stories from his father, Smokey Vannoy—vivid tales of a bygone West Virginia filled with cinder-bottom towns, red-light districts, and river adventures. What started as a collection of oral history soon grew into something more—a shared book project, born from legacy and love.Adventures in Cinder Bottom became more than a family story. It turned into a vibrant retelling of time, place, and identity. In this episode of Authors Who Lead, as we reflect on our second book, Greenbrier River, we weren't just navigating the usual creative hurdles of fiction—we were also carrying the weight of loss. Smokey passed away during the writing process, and that grief wove itself into every chapter. What makes these stories resonate is that they're rooted in real people, real places, and a real desire to honor someone we both deeply admired.Timestamp:00:00 Smokey's stories and Cinder Bottom03:08 Greenbrier River: growth through stories08:54 Authentic storytelling for Appalachia11:37 Boom to bust: a county's journey13:32 Avoiding judgment in polarized times16:41 Early integration in segregated America19:34 Living stories: a father's legacy25:32 Believe in your story26:46 From starter to finisher29:18 Join Authors Who Lead podcastFull show notesCOMMUNITY PROGRAMS

In this special Independence Day episode of Ron's Amazing Stories, we celebrate the 4th of July with tales that dive into the heart of American history—blending revolutionary fervor with a dash of humor. From the signatures on the Declaration of Independence to a tooth-related parody involving Paul Revere, we've got an episode that's as entertaining as a fireworks finale. Story 1: Philadelphia, July 4, 1776 - Travel back to 1776 with an episode from CBS's You Are There, imagining modern reporters covering the signing of the Declaration OF Indepence. Hear interviews with historical figures like Jefferson, Franklin, Washington, and Adams, bringing a fresh perspective to a pivotal moment in history. Story 2: A Tooth For Paul Revere - A parody from the OTR series Escape, featuring Liege Butterwick and his tooth in a fictional tale loosely connected to Paul Revere. While historically inaccurate (confirmed after some "rigorous" research), it's a fun, whimsical story perfect for the holiday.  Ron's Amazing Stories Is Sponsored by: Audible - You can get a free audiobook and a 30 day free trial at .

James Hogg's ghoulish metaphysical crime novel 'The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner' (1824) was presented as a found documented dating from the 17th century, describing in different voices the path to devilry of an antinomian Calvinist, Robert Wringhim. Mikhail Bulgakov's 'The Master and Margarita', written between 1928 and 1940, also hinges around a pact with Satan (Woland), who arrives in Moscow to create mayhem among its literary community and helps reunite an outcast writer, the Master, with his lover, Margarita. In this extended extra from ‘Fiction and the Fantastic', Marina Warner and Adam Thirlwell look at the ways in which these two ferocious works of comic horror tackle the challenge of representing fanaticism, be it Calvinism or Bolshevism, and consider why both writers used the fantastical to test reality. ‘Fiction and the Fantastic' is part of the LRB's Close Readings podcast.

Sunday Morning Live 29 June 2025In this episode, I explore the nature of inner dialogue and its impact on empathy and communication. I reveal that many individuals operate without an inner monologue, prompting discussions on understanding differing perspectives in conflicts. We also examine the development of children's inner dialogue through questioning, the role of fiction in fostering empathy, and the challenges posed by “weaponized empathy.” Personal anecdotes highlight the importance of literature in shaping our understanding of human behavior. Ultimately, I emphasize the value of cultivating inner dialogue to enhance self-awareness and improve our relationships.The livestream continues to a donor-only hour!
