Podcasts about formative years

In this episode, we dive into the chaotic, controversial, and extremely entertaining life of Helena Blavatsky — the 19th-century mystic, world traveler, occult celebrity, and eventual co-founder of the Theosophical Society. But before she became the founder (grifter?) of a major spiritual movement, she was just a kooky little girl born into the Russian aristocracy with a flair for folklore, drama, and telling everyone she could talk to ghosts. Whether you know her as a spiritual icon, a fraud, or the original chaos witch of the Victorian era, this episode explores the myths, scandals, astral projections, and truly unhinged adventures that shaped the occult revival, Victorian spiritualism, esoteric philosophy, and the early New Age movement. If you're into messy historical women, occult weirdness, or “Ma'am, what are you doing?” energy… welcome home.

English:Arteetude 299 is a raw, personal reflection with Detlef Schlich and his AI co-host Sophia. Together, they explore Detlef's early life — from his civil servant years in Cologne and the heaviness of elderly care, to the spark of his first band Paradiesox Peacepack. They discuss fear as part of performance, art as a ritual, and why resisting mass production is central to creative authenticity—a dialogue of honesty, fragility, and the fire that still burns in WAW.German:Arteetude 299 ist eine rohe, persönliche Reflexion mit Detlef Schlich und seiner KI-Co-Host Sophia. Gemeinsam erkunden sie Detlefs frühe Jahre – vom Beamtenjob in Köln und den Belastungen der Altenpflege bis zum Funken seiner ersten Band Paradiesox Peacepack. Sie sprechen über Angst als Teil der Performance, Kunst als Ritual und warum der Widerstand gegen Massenproduktion zentral für künstlerische Wahrheit ist. Ein Dialog über Ehrlichkeit, Verletzlichkeit und das Feuer, das in WAW weiterbrennt.No place for the massesVerse 1I stand against the crowd now,their rhythm feels too thin.Surrounded by the stillness,where systems lock me in.I move through empty spaces,past products lined in rows.Each pulse feels manufactured,each movement pre-composed.ChorusNo place for the masses —give me cracks, give me scars.I choose the broken voices,over polished avatars.No place for the masses —only fragments, only true.I won't repeat the pattern,I carve a road brand new.Verse 2Mass-produced perfection,drowns out the honest song.But beauty lives in discord,where raw emotions throng.I've built my own resistance,in music pure and rare.A space beyond the market,where truth can breathe free air.Chorus (repeat)No place for the masses —give me cracks, give me scars.I choose the broken voices,over polished avatars.No place for the masses —only fragments, only true.I won't repeat the pattern,I carve a road brand new.BridgeLet them chase perfection,let them sell their lies.I'll make art in wreckage,where authenticity lies.Final Chorus (slow, mantra-like)No place for the masses…Only silence, only few.No place for the masses…I am the crack,and so are you.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/arteetude-a-podcast-with-artists-by-detlef-schlich/donations

This second episode on the Calvary Maiden takes you through some of the formative years of the author, Nadezhda Durova. Durova wrote briefly of her years growing up then focused on her time dressing as a man and serving for 10 years as a low-level officer in the Czar's army, starting around 1806.Her journals were source material for Tolstoy as to the lives of those who served in the period War & Peace is set, 1805-1812.  It is presented to give you a glimpse into those frequently nameless and overlooked, who often gave their lives in the Napoleonic conflicts.Durova's story brings up still-relevant issues of identify, in terms how some who grew up in modern-day Ukraine or partitioned Poland, had different ties, (some to Polish nobility, others to Cossacks, some to Turks, others to runaway serfs), identified themselves.  A number, like Durova, graciously accepted a life of service to the Czar. Others, like the former serf, Taras Shevchenko, or the Polish Diplomat, Adam Czartoryski, advanced the idea of nationhood and identity separate from Russian domination.This episode is a brief overview of Durova's experience from when she was 4 months-old, when she begins to articulate the ever-present animosity with her mother. This is illustrated with Durova being thrown out of a moving carriage upon her mother became frustrated while nursing. Her father then gave her to the primary care of one of his male servants, who Durova clung to at the sight of her mother.  For her first four years of life, Durova's family remained on the road, in military service, where she was affected by hussars shouting, drilling and riding their horses. This lifestyle attracted her. Her Muscovite father recognized life with a growing family mandated a different position and traveled to Moscow in search of same.  It was at that time that Durova and her mother returned to her parents' home near the Poltova region in Ukraine. She spent time on the property marching, making forts, and pretending to be in hussar service.  Her maternal grandparents, who initially rejected their Ukrainian daughter marrying a Muscovite, reconciled with the situation. Durova's father eventually received a commission to become a district mayor in Sarapul, near the Kama River in the foothills of the Ural Mountains. She spent the better part of a decade in this colder climate. She would often run away and explore nearby forests and rivers. Her father accepted her adventurous inclinations and gifted her horse, Alcides, who remained with Durova well into her military service. Durova would often wake up at the crack-of-dawn and take Alcides for a liberating run, with servants becoming accustomed to this unusual dynamic.  This frustrated her mother to no end. However, her kind father and the rest of the family got a kick out of Durova's precociousness. She remained in Sarapul until her mother grew tired of her presence and encouraged sending her back to Ukraine to live with her grandmother.

He grew up in a Muslim home but found his faith in Christianity through personal experiences and encounters with the Holy Spirit. He highlights the importance of finding a supportive and accepting community in a church, where individuals can grow and be encouraged in their faith. Pastor Nur Rashid also discusses the challenges and hypocrisy he witnessed in the Christian community, emphasizing the need for authenticity and genuine transformation. His story serves as a reminder that true Christianity is not just about cultural practices, but about a personal relationship with God and a commitment to living according to His teachings. Joining a ministry can provide the accountability and community needed for spiritual growth. Acknowledging and utilizing people's talents in ministry is important for their engagement and effectiveness. God's timing and His work in our lives are crucial in relationships and ministry. Pastoral calling can be influenced by family heritage and personal conviction. Surrendering our dreams and plans to God's calling is essential for fulfilling His purpose in our lives. Seeking God's will and making Him the ultimate destination brings fulfillment and blessings, regardless of our circumstances. Being a pastor is not just a title, but a calling that requires becoming what God has called us to be. Discipleship involves loving and valuing people from all backgrounds and helping them grow in their relationship with God. As missionaries, we must rely on God as our main help and not depend solely on outside ministry support. Building a thriving work for God requires breakthroughs with different people groups and populations. The verse 2 Corinthians 5:17 reminds us that in Christ, we become new creations and old things pass away. Recommended books: 'Disciples Are Made, Not Born' and 'The Master Plan of Evangelism'. Prayer requests: a new building location, breakthroughs with different people groups, and financial provision for the mission. Sound Bites "God saved me and turned my life to the gospel. And ever since I became now, now I truly am a pastor." "Christians just lean on grace, they lean on the cross, but there is no actual change in lifestyle is what he saw a lot of." "I think God's calling me to be a pastor" "I can't go to New York until my whole family's saved" "God's plan for our lives are the best and they are unfathomable"

Today's episode is the epitome of the #Enlightentainment that @MessyTimes was founded to provide in ample portions and frequent doses. Who doesn't love a prurient view into the lives of evil men? Half of Netflix and Hollywood is all about drug lords and mobsters. Ever wonder how much of what you see is fiction and if there is any fact at all? Brian Dennard spent years in clandestine service to the US and visits the Messy Times studios to discuss the early days in the 1970s when the American government was most concerned about the proceeds of drug money going to foment Marxist revolution abroad and here at home. Tune in for a rollicking tale of Alberto Sicilia-Falcon, La Tigressa Irma Serrano, Mexican President Echevarria, Jose-Lopez Portillo and why the matador Gaston Santos thrust his groin at massive bulls in the ring. You will learn a great deal not only how the Latin American drug trade got its early growth in the 1970s, but also get a sense of how those early beginnings turned into the colossal financial beast full of violence and futile attempts at control we are familiar with now.

Foundations of Amateur Radio Morse code is a way for people to send information across long distances. The code we use today, made from dit and dah elements is nothing like the code demonstrated and attributed to Samuel Morse in 1837. Over years and with assistance from Professor of Chemistry Leonard Gail and Physicist Joseph Henry, then Professor of Literature, Samuel Morse, and mechanically minded Alfred Vail developed an electrical telegraph system that automatically moved a paper tape and used an electromagnet to pull a stylus into the paper and a spring to retract it, marking the paper with lines. The original system was only intended to transmit numbers, and combined with a dictionary, the operator could decode the message. The telegraph was able to send zig-zag and straight lines, transmitting the message "Successful experiment with telegraph September 4 1837". The system was enhanced to include letters, making it much more versatile. On the 6th of January 1838, across 4.8 km of wire, strung across a barn, the new design with letters and numbers was demonstrated. To optimise the enhanced version of the code, Alfred Vail went to his local newspaper in Morristown, New Jersey, to count the movable type he found in the compositor's type-cases, and assigned shorter sequences to the most common letters. You might think that this explains the distribution of the codes we see today, but you'd be wrong. The 1838 system used four different element lengths and varied the spacing inside a character. For example, the letter "o" was signified by two dits with a two unit space between them, where today it's represented by three dahs. The letter "p" was signified by five dits, today this represents the number "5", and the code didn't distinguish between "i" and "y", between "g" and "j", and between "s" and "z". A decade later and an ocean away in Germany, writer, journalist, and musician Friedrich Gerke created the Hamburg alphabet, based on the work by Vail and Morse, it standardised the length of the elements and spacing into what we use today, the dit and the dah. He changed about half of the characters and also incorporated four special German characters, the umlaut version of A, O and U and the CH sound - pronounced like the sound for the composer "Bach" or the Dutch name "Benschop" - not to be confused with the CH in child, or the CK in clock, or the SH sound in shop. It was different in other ways. For example, the letter "i" and "j" had the same code. The code was optimised to be more robust across undersea telegraph cables. I'll be coming back to that before we're done exploring, but not today. If you want to skip ahead, the term you're looking for is dispersion. Gerke's code was adopted in 1851 across Germany and Austria and it is known as Continental Morse code. By the time most of Gerke's code was adopted as the European Standard in 1865 as one of many agreements that mark the founding of the International Telegraph Union in Paris, only four sequences of the original 1838 code remained and only two of those, "e" and "h" were identical. Which means that although the idea that Morse code is based around English is often repeated, at this stage it's nothing more than a myth, which my previous word list and subsequent dictionary letter counts across over fifty languages confirm. I'll mention that given Gerke's German heritage, I also made a letter count from a modern German dictionary and one from 1901 and found that the letter distribution in those two are very similar with only the letter "s" and "t" swapped between position four and five in the popularity contest stakes. The German letter Top-5 is "enrts" and the "o" is the 16th most popular letter. Speaking of "o", one observation to make is that the new International Morse code contained the letter "o" as dah-dah-dah, it also contained the letter "p" as dit-dah-dah-dit. These two codes come from an 1849 telegraph code designed by physicist, inventor, engineer and astronomer Carl August von Steinheil. There is evidence suggesting that he invented a print telegraph and matching dot script in 1836, based around positive and negative pulses, rather than pulse duration. I'm purposely skipping over earlier telegraph systems built and used by Carl Friedrich Gauss, Wilhelm Edward Weber, and Steinheil, only because we're talking about Morse code, not the telegraph. The 1865 ITU standard for International Morse code includes several accented letters, symbols for semi-colon, exclamation mark, chevrons and several control codes and both normal and short forms for numbers which merge all the dahs in any digit into a single dah. Many of these codes are not part of the official standard today. I'll point out that over time, experienced telegraph operators learnt to decode dits and dahs based on sound alone, negating the need for paper. This translates directly into how we experience Morse in our hobby today, by tone only. There is a much more detailed explanation on how the telegraph evolved in a book by Russel W. Burns called: "Communications: An International History of the Formative Years". Fair warning, there are many claims and counterclaims, including the possibility that someone else entirely, Harrison Gray Dyar, a Chemist, invented an electrochemical telegraph, using chemically treated paper to make marks, dits and dahs, and demonstrated it between 1826 and 1828 near a race track on Long Island. I'm mentioning this because Samuel Morse is often attributed as the source of all things telegraphy, but the reality appears to be much more nuanced and, unsurprisingly, there are conflicting accounts depending on the source, including acceptance and repudiation that Alfred Vail was the inventor of what we now call Morse code.

“I find that when I was a kid I wasn't validated a lot, and I wanted that. I used to internalize that… So I always felt like not having that in my formative years - that validation, that love, that security - it affects me now.
