Good morning. ‘Her own thoughts and reflections were habitually her best companions.' So says Jane Austen of Fanny Price in Mansfield Park. But she could equally have said it of herself. Jane Austen's 250th birthday this week is being widely celebrated on this network. She was swathed in the practice of faith: her father and two of her brothers were ordained, and two visits to church on Sunday were her lifelong pattern. She certainly knew the shortcomings of religion: parodying the servility and self-importance of the parson Mr Collins, she says he ‘was not a sensible man, and the deficiency of nature had been but little assisted by education or society.' Her gift is to turn the interactions of family and community, and especially the elaborate dance and fragility of finding a marriage partner, into a whole moral universe. Her characters transcend their surroundings. One, Mr Bennet, says laconically, ‘For what do we live, but to make sport for our neighbours, and laugh at them in our turn?' Another, Mr Knightley, says poignantly to Emma Woodhouse, ‘If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more.' It's a truth universally acknowledged that it's never been clear what it actually means to be a Christian. Some insist on adherence to specific doctrines. Others on obedience to identifiable moral codes. Others point to formation in a traditional culture. A woman of her time, Jane Austen's participation in worship and devotion was socially conventional. But she has her own answers to this perennial question. If she were to identify a favourite parable, my guess is she'd choose the story of the two sons, one of whom refused his father's request to go into the vineyard, but did; while his brother said, ‘I will,' but didn't. For Austen, Christianity's about actions not words. ‘Christian' is more of a verb than a noun. The many suitors are sifted out not by their protestations of love, but by their true character. Of Fanny Price, we're told, ‘She made herself indispensable to those she loved.' Which connects Jane Austen in a significant way to Christmas. For the Christmas story's not about what God says. It's about what God does. In Northanger Abbey, Isabella Thorpe exclaims, ‘There's nothing I would not do for those who are really my friends. I have no notion of loving people by halves. It's not my nature.' Coming in person as a vulnerable baby is communicating by action rather than by word. Maybe Jane Austen knew exactly what she thought being a Christian meant. It meant not loving by halves. Perhaps she's more of a theologian than she's usually given credit for.
It's a banner day here on the pod, Slushies. We welcome a very special guest, American Poetry Review's Elizabeth Scanlon to the table as we discuss three prose poems from Sara Burant. Dagne sends out birthday wishes to Canada's own Margaret Atwood while Lisa shows the team her Margaret Atwood-as-saint candle. We note the recent poetry trend towards raising the profile of female visual artists whose work has been overlooked during their lifetimes. Artists like Sonia Delaunay, mentioned in Burant's poem “Fields,” and Hilma af Kilmt, whose art inspired Didi Jackson's recent book “My Infinity.” The mention of a clay pipe in one poem sends Marion running for a treasure her husband found while mudlarking. Kathy cops to her blue-collar resistance to a precious ars poetica and we discuss what it takes to win her over in the end. Elizabeth relates how John Ashbery likens waiting for a poem to a cat's finicky arrival. We note Frank O'Hara's notion of “deep gossip,” name checking his own friends along with celebrities in his poems, a gesture Burant employs in her poem “Heat wave.” And we come full circle with a shout out to American Poetry Review's own podcast where Elizabeth interviewed Margaret Atwood during the pandemic. As always, thanks for listening! At the table: Dagne Forrest, Samantha Neugebauer, Elizabeth Scanlon, Kathleen Volk Miller, Marion Wrenn, Lisa Zerkle, and Lillie Volpe (sound engineer) Bio: Sara Burant's poems, reviews, and collaborative translations of Paul Éluard's poems have appeared in journals such as OmniVerse, Pedestal, periodicities, Ruminate, and The Denver Quarterly. Her work has been honored with a fellowship from Oregon Literary Arts and a residency at Playa. At 55, she received an MFA in Poetry from Saint Mary's College of California. She's the author of a chapbook, Verge. Fields after Frank O'Hara And the truck driver I was made in the image of has a tattoo reminiscent of a Sonia Delaunay on her chest. And on her upper left arm, a nude torso of Apollo reminiscent not only of Rilke but of the male figure who loved her passionately in a dream—my god, he knew how to kiss and be kissed and knew her better than she'll ever know herself. Nobody sees these tattoos except her, looking in the mirror in a cheap motel's bathroom. At home she has no mirrors, just the phone she occasionally snaps a selfie with to make sure she has no spinach or gristle lodged between her teeth before heading to the bar. Actually, the truck driver I was made in the image of is undercover. She's really a Jungian analyst. Those cows in another dream, her heaviest self, chewing the cud of the past, farting, trampling the delicate vegetation, forming a tight circle around the calves when threatened, bellowing when all else fails. Hauling 30 tons in her 35-ton rig, she speeds past field after field which are all the same field. Oh field of dreams, why hasn't she built you? Instead she deletes photos to make room for more photos, wondering why this sunset, that face, this puddle's reflection, that abstract painting. She fished and caught and couldn't filet the tender meat that smelled too much like drowning. One rainy winter in Paris she nearly did drown. Creeping water-logged from museum to museum, finally she clung to Cézanne's misshapen fruit as if to a buoy. The apples and pears, just one man's apprehension of apples and pears, not thoughts inside thought-balloons, not some parable of ancient September. Just tilting tabletops, shapes, colors, the suggestion of shadows and light. Ars poetica For the chickens I save tidbits, potato skins, and the outer cabbage leaves which make me think of hats. The red wobble of the hens' combs and the smell of their fecal heat, unaccountably dear to me. Awaiting a match to warm me, I chew on a clay pipe's stem, contemplating the waning moon of its bowl and my pink lipstick past. The silence behind words spoken or thought clucks softly in my inner ear. Sitting inside, I can't help looking out, a lifting, carrying blue, the wind's little pull on the earlobe of my heart. Lately I've been cutting paper into shapes that mean Feed me or Take me to your leader, wishing I'd been taught to name feelings as they arise. Tenderness for the apple still hanging from winter's limb. Loneliness drunk down with morning's darjeeling. There are conspirators for beauty. Like rabbits, they leave tracks in the snow. Like geese, they arrow through hallways of night. Without sentiment or self-pity they gaze at certain slants of light. They chip away the ice with a pick to get at the lock. Then they pick the lock. And oh, what a view. I want to walk in the dark to get there, not following anyone's directions. To enter the fortune teller's crystal ball with bread in my pocket and a botanist's loupe. Though I don't know your name, I move forward only beside you, your imaginary hand in mine. Heat wave The woman at the table next to mine gives up loud-talking in favor of song, but it's not looking for love, it's looking for FUN—& feeling groovy. Maybe I should warn her—today's theme isn't love or fun, it's submarine & skedaddle, it's danger-danger, hold your breath & sound. This avalanche of heat, these record-shattering days. See the breakage piling up on sidewalks so hot the barefoot babies weep as they learn to toddle. Maybe, as you like to point out, I'm catastrophizing, when what I really want is to feel groovy again. To butter my skin with baby oil & sizzle, walking barefoot along the burning sand, Bradford Beach where I fell in love unrequited for the umpteenth time. Back then, who was counting? Back then summer lasted for years & still wasn't long enough. 1978, despite Mother's reservations, I saved my babysitting money for a ticket to Fleetwood Mac at County Stadium. Eilleen, Maggie, Liz, Jean, Mary, me—& Stevie Nicks & Christine McVie, the elm trees & long summer dusk of those women's voices. A dusk so filled with the orange, violet & chartreuse silk of its immense flag flying above, beside & through you, you neglect to notice shadows splotching the periphery & forget your curfew. I didn't notice much, so stoned I was, we were, melting into the moment's spotlessness, our adolescent hips grooving, our tan arms waving, here, now, this, this, this—I mean there, then, that, that, that—no one yet suspended for drinking, no one yet strung out, dropping out, running off with boys to Oregon or Wyoming, limping home pregnant or in rags. The elms, gone. Mom, Vince, Rob & Christine McVie, too. I've had to swear off many things due to poor digestion—but oblivion, I'd still like to indulge in that sometimes, diving into it like a bee into a flower, a morning glory, its dumb, purple, one day only show.

In this third week of Advent, Pastor Nate explores the theme of joy through the powerful moment when God reveals His glory and the message of Christ's birth; Not to kings or religious elites, but to ordinary shepherds in the fields. Drawing from Luke 2:8–20 and 1 Corinthians 1:27–29, we were reminded that God delights in using the overlooked and the humble so that He alone will be glorified and no one can boast in their own merit.We also reflect on how an encounter with God's glory produces lasting joy. This joy then overflows into witness, even in suffering, as seen in the life of Betsie ten Boom. True joy is not tied to circumstances but rooted in Christ, and it shines as a powerful testimony to the world.Never underestimate what God can do through a surrendered, ordinary life, and to ask Him to fill us anew with the joy that comes from encountering His glory. As Jesus reminds us in Matthew 5:14–16, we are called to let that light and joy shine to everyone around us!
A lively, cinematic wander into the story of St Martin in the Fields, the church that began life in the fields and ended up beating at the heart of London. From plague pits to Handel, from Nell Gwyn's funeral bells to today's world-famous concerts and homelessness work, this is the tale of the warmest, most open-armed church in the city. Architecture. Anecdote. Music. Magic. St Martin's has it all.
What conditions do we gather in? Can this exist without hierarchy, or even a physical space? Most Dismal Swamp joins the second episode of our mini series ‘as a chorus', sharing audio extracts from the recent film, The Bastard Fields. A mixtape of 3 sketches, each audio builds on the language of historical preachers, reddit forums and social media commentary. They weave a world which asks about the violence or nightmares that instills our need to come together. With Most Dismal Swamp, we discuss the mechanics of making shared spaces, how an art practice can parody this by collaging the works of multiple authors into longer ‘playlists' that become complex and inconsistent worlds (such as the ones we all live through), and a self-cannibalising process built on pattern recognition, outliers in data sets, and the impact of regional specificities in AI models. We ask how art practices traverse creative production, curation and production to open up space outside of traditional systems and build artistic community both within and around the works being shown.Bio:Most Dismal Swamp is a mixed-reality biome; a place and a practice where a dank miasma of fictions, artists, model worlds, adversarial realisms, external hard drives, camera-tracking data, campfires, opaque rituals, game engines, amateur heresies, visual effects plug-ins, and other animals come together.Emerging from the curation, artwork, and research of Dane Sutherland, Most Dismal Swamp's multimedia projects involve collaboration and convivial speculation with many other artists. These projects are modular and densely populated, presented across various immersive and bespoke installations and online; Multi-User Shared Hallucinations dredged from the slumgullion swamp of adversarial digital, platform, and neural media.A rigorous ‘acid pessimism' inspirits the work of Most Dismal Swamp: an acerbic yet playful immersion into the composite hallucinatory lifeworlds, gamespaces, and protocols that make up the hostile architecture of our shared platform-mediated crises.

Spain is the European Union's largest fruit and vegetable producer, with exports topping €18 billion in 2024. Yet those whose work sustains this lucrative sector face widespread underpayment and labour rights violations - with some facing extreme exploitation bordering on modern slavery.As Eoghan tells Alan, this model should not be seen as some antiqued part of the Spanish economy but rather in its employment of digital surveillance techniques and with the growing financialization of the agricultural sector, Spain is at the cutting edge of European farming.If you like what we produce, and want more, please think of contributing and making the podcast sustainable going forward:https://buymeacoffee.com/thesobremeyThe investigation discussed in this episode:1.

The Fields of Athenry 10K will return this St. Stephen's Day as the annual tradition will this year, for the first time, include a cash prize for the top three male and female finishers. Behind it all, the race remains a fundraiser at heart. Proceeds go toward the continued development of the club track, supporting athletics for all in the region. This year's event is made possible thanks to the generous support of Kare Plus Ireland (Main Sponsor) and The Castle Group (Platinum Sponsor). Alan Burke from Athenry Athletics Club spoke to John Mulligan about the massive event...
"The track was built around a single, imperfect moment in time: a field recording I captured while walking through a tunnel by the main market. You can hear distant voices trading words, footsteps, fragments of conversations and the natural reverb of the tunnel itself. That recording became the spine of the piece – I didn't treat it as background noise, but as the main “instrument”. "I started by isolating the most atmospheric sections of the recording, then layered and looped them so the voices and echoes slowly morph into a constant, breathing texture. Multiple delays with different feedback times smear the sounds into long, ghostly trails, while deep reverbs exaggerate the tunnel's natural space and push everything further into an ambiguous, dreamlike distance. "From there, I added subtle filtering, pitch shifting and modulation effects to carve movement inside the static drone, so the ambience never sits still. Underneath, a restrained dub techno pulse emerges – low-end hits, soft chords and minimal percussive details – all heavily processed with send delays and tape-style saturation. The result is a slow, hypnotic piece where the original tunnel recording is still recognisable, but transformed into a drifting soundscape: half real-world memory, half submerged, echoing dream." Jingzhou City South Gate sounds reimagined by Yiannis Vlastaris.

Taylor-Lehman follows four promising teams on a mission to reach Vegas before unwinding an electric account of what it takes to win the world's premier amateur tournament—and what you take away when the balls aren't sunk. Entertaining and immersive, Going Rackless puts readers tableside to watch a game everyone has played but few truly understand. Dylan Taylor-Lehman is a journalist and writer and the author of Sealand: The True Story of the World's Most Stubborn Micronation and Its Eccentric Royal Family and Dance of the Trustees: On the Astonishing Concerns of a Small Ohio Township.

In Goldey v. Fields, the Court considered whether an implied damages action under Bivens v. Six Unknown Fed. Narcotics Agents can be extended to cover an Eighth Amendment excessive-force claim against federal prison officials.The Supreme Court of the United States held that a damages remedy under Bivens v. Six Unknown Federal Narcotics Agents does not extend to allow an Eighth Amendment excessive-force claim by a federal prisoner against federal prison officials. Specifically:The Court concluded the claim “arises in a new context,” and that “special factors” counseled against creating or extending a Bivens cause of action in this situation.The Court reversed the Fourth Circuit's ruling that the prisoner could proceed under Bivens and remanded the case for further proceedings consistent with that determination.The opinion is presented here in its entirety, but with citations omitted.

What does it mean when we talk about God's providence? It means that without violating our free will and decisions, God orchestrates the events in our lives to accomplish His purposes. Here now in Ruth Ch. 2, we find a stunning example of what that looks like in the life of a believer.
The Metaphysics of Quantum FieldsThe source material explores the profound metaphysical ramifications of Quantum Field Theory (QFT), shifting the foundation of reality away from classical materialism. According to QFT, the universe is fundamentally composed not of tiny solid pieces, but of omnipresent, dynamic fields, where known subatomic particles are instead described as temporary, localized vibrations or excitations. This framework promotes the idea that potentiality is primary over actuality and redefines existence as a continuous process or activity, moving away from thinking of reality as a collection of static "nouns." The text confirms that modern physics identifies seventeen fundamental fields in the Standard Model, stressing that these entities are deeply interconnected through mathematical symmetries rather than existing independently. Ultimately, this perspective replaces the image of a mechanical, material universe with a holistic, interdependent symphony where all observable matter emerges from a pervasive ground of potentiality.If we go back to creation we will discover that matter is not primary. Fields (and possibly consciousness) are primary.Grant Cameron Bookshttps://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B00EFGCJRC
Rogers ventures beyond the city walls to meet Zavier, the Captain of the Fields—an isolated, aging guild officer starved for information from the Tower. Over sour cider and half-truths, Rogers carefully manipulates the old captain's frustrations, painting Ralan as a chaotic, incompetent leader while casting himself as the guild's true savior during the crisis. He omits crucial details about why communication ceased, weaponizing Zavier's isolation against the absent Guildmaster. As Rogers weaves his narrative of heroism and Ralan's failures, he secures another potential ally in his shadow campaign.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-thieves-guild--6141933/support.Some secrets are worth dying for.

We are getting this episode out later than planned, but it is a special one and worth the wait. As humanity tries to understand the rise of artificial intelligence, Patrick and I sit down with our contributing hosts Peter from the Midwest and Micah Greene to talk about JOI in the time of AI. AI is here in every corner of our lives now, from ChatGPT to large language systems to the generative engines reshaping art and communication. With this new reality around us, how does JOI read today. Does she feel different? Does she come across as something more troubling or more harmless? Has the world changed enough that her presence in the Blade Runner universe means something new. We explore all of it in this episode. We hope you enjoy the conversation. // For more on this and our other projects, please visit www.bladerunnerpodcast.com // If you'd like to join the conversation, find us on our closed Facebook group: Fields of Calantha. // To support the show, please consider visiting www.bladerunnerpodcast.com/support.

Adam Wolf is back, and he brings a whole new story with him. Since his last visit, he packed up his life in LA and moved to Oregon's Willamette Valley to work at Saffron Fields. We talk about that jump, what pulled him into the region, and how different the wine world feels when you live inside it instead of tasting from a distance.Adam walks us through his new role, the tasting room culture, and why Oregon's wine community feels so supportive. We get into the local food scene, the shift from LA's global wine focus to Oregon's drink-local mentality, and what it's like to taste in a place with more than 800 wineries.He also sends us a bottle of the 2021 Spectrum Pinot Noir, an entry point into Saffron Fields' lineup. We dig into what makes it approachable, how the winemaking works, and why clones matter so much in the Willamette Valley. The conversation takes us into tasting structure, flavor differences, and the challenge of keeping your palate alive after 15 Pinots in two days.It's an easy, honest episode with a lot of energy. A friend of the pod comes back, brings great wine, and reminds us why the Willamette Valley is one of the most exciting wine regions in the country.Learn More About Saffron FieldsSaffron Fields Websitehttps://saffronfields.com/Follow Saffron Fields on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/saffronfieldsvineyard/Connect With Adam on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/wineaboutmusic/Check Out Adam's New Column, 100 Point Wines, on Substack!100 Point WinesConnect with the show.

For most of his childhood, Jeremy's North Dakota farm was the kind of place where nothing ever happened—until the land decided to wake up. It began quietly: missing tools that reappeared exactly where he'd left them weeks later, strange lights hovering over the fields at night, and whispers about the Red River valley—where locals swore something old and unholy roamed after dark. Then one cold autumn evening, Jeremy stayed late to finish a job, his dog suddenly growling at the woods. When he looked toward the tree line, two red eyes glowed back at him, unblinking. Moments later, on the gravel road home, a tall hooded figure appeared in the tractor's headlights—its teeth sharp, its eyes the same burning red. It moved like it didn't belong to this world. Jeremy's father brushed it off as imagination—until their neighbor described seeing the exact same thing… decades earlier. #RealGhostStories #TheGraveTalks #NorthDakota #ParanormalEncounter #CryptidStories #TrueHaunting #RedRiverLegend #ShadowCreature #UnexplainedMystery #FarmHaunting Love real ghost stories?
