This week we dig into the hot new expansion for last year's most popular civilization game, Mosaic. Mosaic: Wars and Disasters was designed by Glen Drover and was published by Forbidden Games in 2023. Episode Summary The panel covers everything Mosaic: Wars and Disasters adds to Mosaic, including new civilization achievements, new wonders, disaster triggers, and two new types of towns. We break down the new government type, new national military powers, and the one-time-use military actions.  In the second part of our episode, we dissect strategies and tactics to stay ahead in a game like Mosaic. Hear from our panel as we analyze Cody's staggering 190-point score and Sam's struggle with his broken economy and engine. We further explore the differences between Mosaic and a racing game and the significance of strategic goal-setting. Join us as we debate the effect of disaster triggers, balancing production and technology cards, and discuss our overall impressions of the expansion.

It's sometimes said that this is a golden era of sports documentary. F1's Drive to Survive has changed the landscape. Every sports rights holder wants its own version, to use as a tool to reach new audiences, whether that's the infamous Gen Z demographic or in different parts of the world, delivered by the global streamers such as Netflix and Amazon Prime.But what are trade offs required in this form of commercialised documentary. Adam Darke is a veteran documentary maker, whose work includes Winning Ugly on rugby union; Forbidden Games, the life of Justin Fashanu, Keeping Up With The Brownlees and All Or Nothing Juventus. Darke's latest series is Deadline Day: Football's Transfer Window, currently available on Sky and produced by Pitch International.  It goes behind the scenes of football's transfer marketplace, revealing the work of agents and clubs in sourcing and acquiring soccer talent at every price point.

This week on The Sound Kitchen you'll hear the answer to the question about Alice Diop. There's The Sound Kitchen mailbag, the bonus question and the “Listeners Corner” with Michael Fitzpatrick, and plenty of good music. All that, and the new quiz question, too, so click on the “Audio” arrow above and enjoy!  Hello everyone! Welcome to The Sound Kitchen weekly podcast, published every Saturday – here on our website, or wherever you get your podcasts. You'll hear the winner's names announced and the week's quiz question, along with all the other ingredients you've grown accustomed to: your letters and essays, “On This Day”, quirky facts and news, interviews, and great music … so be sure and listen every week. Erwan and I are busy cooking up special shows with your musical requests, so get them in! Send your musical requests to thesoundkitchen@rfi.fr  Tell us why you like the piece of music, too – it makes it more interesting for us all! Be sure you check out our wonderful podcasts! In addition to the breaking news articles on our site, with in-depth analysis of current affairs in France and across the globe, we have several podcasts which will leave you hungry for more. There's Paris Perspective, Africa Calling, Spotlight on France, and of course, The Sound Kitchen. We have an award-winning bilingual series – an old-time radio show, with actors (!) to help you learn French, called Les voisins du 12 bis. And there is the excellent International Report, too. As you see, sound is still quite present in the RFI English service.  Keep checking our website for updates on the latest from our staff of journalists. You never know what we'll surprise you with! To listen to our podcasts from your PC, go to our website and click on the three horizontal bars on the top right, choose “Listen to RFI / Podcasts”, and you've got ‘em ! You can either listen directly or subscribe and receive them directly on your mobile phone. To listen to our podcasts from your mobile phone, slide through the tabs just under the lead article (the first tab is “Headline News”) until you see “Podcasts”, and choose your show.  Teachers, take note!  I save postcards and stamps from all over the world to send to you for your students. If you would like stamps and postcards for your students, just write and let me know.

Gerald Muller, my beloved music teacher from St Edward's University in Austin, Texas, has been writing books for young adults in his retirement – and they are free! There is a volume of biographies of painters and musicians called Gentle Giants, and an excellent biography of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., too. They are also a good way to help you improve your English - that's how I worked on my French, reading books which were meant for young readers – and I guarantee you, it's a good method for improving your language skills. To get Br. Gerald's free books, click here. Independent RFI English Clubs: Be sure to always include Audrey Iattoni (audrey.iattoni@rfi.fr) from our Listener Relations department in all your RFI Club correspondence. Remember to copy me (thesoundkitchen@rfi.fr) when you write to her so that I know what is going on, too. N.B.: You do not need to send her your quiz answers! Email overload! And don't forget, there is a Facebook page just for you, the independent RFI English Clubs. Only members of RFI English Clubs can belong to this group page, so when you apply to join, be sure you include the name of your RFI Club and your membership number. Everyone can look at it, but only members of the group can post on it. If you haven't yet asked to join the group, and you are a member of an independent, officially recognized RFI English club, go to the Facebook link above, and fill out the questionnaire !!!!! (if you do not answer the questions, I click “decline”). There's a Facebook page for members of the general RFI Listeners Club too. Just click on the link and fill out the questionnaire, and you can connect with your fellow Club members around the world. Be sure you include your RFI Listeners Club membership number (most of them begin with an A, followed by a number) in the questionnaire, or I will have to click “Decline”, which I don't like to do!

Welcome Sufian, welcome Shovan, welcome Tahamina! I look forward to seeing your quiz responses and your bonus question answers every week, as well as your posts on the RFI Listeners Club Facebook page! This week's quiz: On 17 September, I asked you a question about our article “French director receives two awards for debut film at Venice festival”. Earlier that week, Frenchwoman Alice Diop won the Silver Lion for her film Saint Omer at the Venice Film Festival. Saint Omer not only won the Silver Lion, it also won the "Best First Film" award. Alice Diop has, up until now, specialized in documentaries. In 2017 she won a César – the French Oscars, if you remember - for Best Short Film. And that was your question: What was the name of that documentary?   The answer is: Vers la tendresse, or Towards Tenderness. For her first feature film, Diop said she had used, as we noted in our article: “a seemingly sordid news item to question something much broader, which is the relationship that all women and men have with motherhood". In addition to the quiz question, there was the bonus question: What three things would you not take to a desert island? The winners are: RFI English listener Sajjad Hossain from Joypurhat, Bangladesh, who is also the winner of this week's bonus question. Congratulations Sajjad!  The other winners this week are Muhammed Nazim, a member of the International RFI DX Radio Listeners Club in Murshidabad, India - which is our very first official RFI English Club. There's Amran Hossain, a member of the Shetu RFI Listeners Club in Naogaon, Bangladesh; Faheem Noor, the president of the World United RFI Listeners Organization Club (WULO) in Nankana Sahib, Pakistan – the club celebrated its 22nd anniversary this past week. Congratulations to WULO president Faheem Noor and all the members! Last but certainly not least is RFI Listeners Club member Ding Lu from Jiangsu Province in China. Congratulations winners! Here's the music you heard on this week's program: “Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend” by Jule Stein and Leo Robin, sung by Carol Channing; “Gondola Song” op.19, no.6 by Felix Mendelssohn, performed by Oh Hyoung Lee; “The Flight of the Bumblebee” by Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov; “The Cakewalk” from Children's Corner by Claude Debussy, performed by the composer, and “Forbidden Games” by Narciso Yepes and Marcel Stellman, sung by Miriam Makeba. Do you have a musical request? Send it to thesoundkitchen@rfi.fr  This week's question ... you must listen to the show to participate. After you've listened to the show, re-read our article “French government ready to 'intervene' to break fuel depot strike” to help you with the answer. You have until 7 November to enter this week's quiz; the winners will be announced on the 12 November podcast.

Soli, by Roberta LippiOsho earned the definition of “sex guru” because his cult members were allowed to freely express their physical desire, even with multiple partners. The guru had no trouble in openly talking about sex and even gave practical advices to his cult members on how to get the best out of the intercourse. He also preached that children had to know the truth about everything, including sex - but he did not consider that children imitate adults. They want to be like them, do whatever they do. What happens if what they start to imitate is sex? At the center of this episode is Swami Anand Satish, who recalls how all the experiences in the sannyasin communes started far too early. All of them.Cover image by Martino PietropoliMusic by Smokelab

Dr. Snuggles and friends - including sister podcast Ball Busters co-host Carlo - check out Robert Angelo's 1999 erotic thriller Forbidden Sins, and talk about writer Daryl 'Duke' Haney! Dr. Snuggles and friends return for episode 95 of your guide to the truly astonishing world of softcore films, and the world’s number one podcast on that subject! What better way to follow up Forbidden Games than with a little Forbidden Sins? We’re joined by Carlo, from sister podcast Ball Busters, to talk about the 1999 Robert Angelo erotic thriller. It’s...divisive, but it’s a fairly tightly plotted affair (although opinions on the show vary as to how well it pulls everything together). The good news is it’s got a pretty good cast, headlined by the queen of erotic thrillers herself, the one and only Shannon Tweed. She’s as brilliant as ever. Plus, in Drew news, it turns out he was growing his hair long up until a couple of weeks ago for a tremendous Halloween prank! Did he pull it off? Listen to find out! This film is one of a handful of softcore/erotic thriller efforts from the great Daryl ‘Duke’ Haney, so naturally we talk his life and career. You may know Haney as a regular actor in Corman films in the ‘80s and ‘90s, but you definitely know his writing from Friday the 13th Part VII. Suffice to say that’s not exactly his favourite work (and nor is this film, no doubt). Please support our Patreon, if you can! Hey, why not call us on our hotline? (724) 246-4669!

Dr. Snuggles and friends - including MAG alumni and current Heavy Leather Horror Show cast member Squeaky Dave - check out Ed Holzman's 1995 erotic thriller Forbidden Games, and talk about star Jeff Griggs! Dr. Snuggles and friends return for episode 94 of your guide to the truly astonishing world of softcore films, and the world’s number one podcast on that subject! Turns out there’s a whole lot of erotic thrillers with the word ‘forbidden’ in the title, and somehow we’ve never done any of them. Time to correct that omission by checking out Edward Holzman’s 1995 murder mystery Forbidden Games! We’ve previously seen Ed’s work in Pamela Principle 2, and he’s really got quite the cast with him this time: future soap opera veterans Jeff Griggs and Lesli Kay, future WWE wrestler Amy Weber, the late great Beckie Mullen, and the incomparable Gail Thackray. Gail’s accent veers from southern to British and even a little Australian, as the plot veers from outrageous BDSM murders to gentle horse rides through the Californian countryside to the burden of psychometry. The rest of the plot is a little on the confusing side, even for a movie expert like our guest: Squeaky Dave from Compañeros sister show Heavy Leather Horror Show! Plus, we talk the life and career of the film’s star, Jeff Griggs! Now a silver fox, Griggs ticks a lot of the Get Soft mainstay boxes - not just in terms of soap opera fame, but also appearances in Power Rangers, and 24! He’s more recently been in Bosch, which it turns out Drew Buzzy recommends. Please support our Patreon, if you can! Hey, why not call us on our hotline? (724) 246-4669!

With Kirsty Lang The actor Charles Dance is best-known for playing quintessential Englishmen and villains. He reflects on his latest TV role as an ageing former rock-band manager, compares the experiences of working on both sides of the Atlantic, and looks back on his career. A giant white pet robot and malfunctioning computers feature in In the Beginning Was the End, the latest site-specific production by the theatre company dreamthinkspeak. In the past they have performed in a vast disused department store, and an underground abattoir. The performance takes place in a series of tunnels and offices underneath Somerset House in London. Tristan Sharps, the artistic director of dreamthinkspeak, walks us through the labyrinth of tunnels and the technology that lies within. Rene Clement was once dubbed the French Hitchcock, his war-time drama Forbidden Games won the Oscar for best foreign film in 1952, the BAFTA for best film from any source and the top prize at the Venice Film Festival. His thriller Plein Soleil is considered to be the best of the many adaptations of Patricia Highsmith's Ripley series. And yet, he is all but forgotten, even in his home country of France. The mysterious case of the disappearing director is investigated by Ginette Vincendeau, Ian Christie and Matthew Sweet. Producer: Penny Murphy.

So Very Wrong About Games

Is there a difference between a fruit salad and a fruit cup? I mean, the first question is whether a fruit cup contains a fruit salad, or if the contents are some other substance; then one can query whether the cup and its contents are a gestalt whole. Let us not forget the prospect of a fruit cup of Theseus, whereby each fruit piece is removed and replaced with an equivalent fruit (I would ask what an equivalent fruit is, but that's getting sidetracked)--is it the same fruit cup? Heraclitus would say you can't take a bite of the same fruit salad twice. There's the somewhat absurd possibility of a fruit cup of Damocles--presumably the fruits therein would have been prepared by Procrustes. What I'm getting at is melon is gross.Games Played Last Week:00:53 -Just One (Ludovic Roudy & Bruno Sautter, Repos Production, 2018)01:04 -So Clover!
