Podcasts about Frankenstein

Back in 1818, the same year *Frankenstein* hit the shelves, a Scottish professor named Andrew Ure decided to see if electricity could actually bring a dead body back to life—so he hooked up a freshly executed murderer to a current and watched in fascination as the corpse twitched, "breathed," and even made terrifying expressions that sent witnesses into a panic.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources and full transcript): https://weirddarkness.com/AndrewUreREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode:https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/58czndx7FEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: In 1800s numerous scientists were trying to find the reason for life in the hopes of staving off death or even bringing the recently dead back to life. But in 1818 one scientist named Andrew Ure attempted to do even more – to bring the brain of dead human back into the living. And ironically, his experiments took place the very same year the novel “Frankenstein” was published.

Most physicians spend more time fighting their software than seeing patients, and piling on new tools has not fixed it. Grace E. Terrell, a physician executive, argues that decades of layering electronic health records, population health tools, remote patient monitoring, and now AI onto sixty-year-old billing infrastructure has produced a Frankenstein stack that burns out clinicians and harms patients. This episode is based on her article "Connected health care workflows: From chore to core patient care," published on KevinMD. You will hear why layering new tools on old infrastructure keeps failing, how prior authorization became an arms race, and what a genuinely connected workflow would feel like for a clinician evaluating a patient with suspected spinal abscess. You will also learn the one question to ask any vendor pitching a new tool, and why her company's CIO believes EHRs themselves may not survive the next five years. Listen for a concrete path from chore to core patient care. Partner with me on the KevinMD platform.

The Boys is over — but did it actually answer the questions it spent five seasons raising? Matthew is joined by returning guest Ocean Murff, podcast host and movie theory enthusiast, to dig into the finale and wrestle with what the show chose to resolve and what it quietly left on the table.They work through the biggest choices of the final season: Homelander's death, Butcher's suicide-by-Huey, Ryan's rejection of both potential father figures, and Stan Edgar walking back into power as though nothing really changed. The conversation keeps returning to the show's deepest tension;  was Homelander ever really the villain, or was he always just Vought's monster, with Vought as the true Dr. Frankenstein? Matthew and Ocean explore whether the show knew it was delivering a dystopian ending even as it dressed the finale up as a victory.They also mourn what was lost when Gen V was canceled, arguing that the spinoff was quietly becoming the space where the harder ethical questions about coexistence, identity, the ethics of power removal, and whether “good supes” can even exist in a world built by Vought,  were finally getting room to breathe. **************************************************************************This episode is a production of Superhero Ethics, an Ethical Panda podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.

Alain Goudey est directeur de l’innovation numérique à Neoma Business School et co-auteur d’une étude académique à comité de lecture sur l’IA générative dans l’enseignement supérieur. Cette enquête porte sur la façon dont les étudiants, les enseignants et les doyens perçoivent la légitimité de l’IA générative dans les établissements français de formation au management. Ses conclusions sont à la fois rassurantes et dérangeantes. Enseignement supérieur et IA générative : légitimité, paresse intellectuelle et la fin de l’examen traditionnel Le portrait qui se dégage d’une étude sur l’IA générative dans l’enseignement supérieur évoque ces attractions foraines qu’on appelle palais des glaces, où chaque partie prenante voit un problème différent et cherche une solution qui lui est propre. Toutes les illustrations de cet article ont été réalisées avec Midjourney. Lorsqu’Alain Goudey et ses collègues ont commencé à enquêter sur l’enseignement supérieur français début 2024, ils ne cherchaient pas à trancher le débat sur l’IA générative bonne ou mauvaise. Ils voulaient comprendre quelque chose de plus précis : comment le même outil pouvait être simultanément valorisé, redouté, accepté et dénoncé, parfois par la même personne. Leur étude, publiée dans Communications of the Association for Information Systems (CAIS), s’appuie sur des enquêtes menées auprès de 668 étudiants, 204 enseignants et 29 directeurs d’établissement (les « deans » du système anglo-saxon), complétées par 22 entretiens approfondis avec des enseignants ayant adopté l’IA en avance de phase. Ce qui en ressort évoque ces attractions foraines qu’on appelle palais des glaces : chaque partie prenante voit un problème différent et cherche une solution qui lui est propre. Le point de départ est un chiffre qui aurait dû clore le débat. Entre 80 et 92 % des étudiants, selon l’établissement, utilisent déjà des outils d’IA générative dans leur travail universitaire. Ce chiffre a été atteint en à peine dix-huit mois après le lancement public de ChatGPT. L’outil n’a pas attendu l’autorisation des institutions. Il s’est déployé de lui-même. Et dans bien des cas, l’enseignement supérieur est encore en train de rédiger sa note de cadrage. Le piège de la productivité Alain met le doigt sur le fond du sujet d’emblée. Les étudiants apprécient l’IA générative pour sa rapidité, sa capacité à générer des idées et son rôle d’appui à l’apprentissage. Mais ils craignent aussi, et leurs établissements avec eux, ce que les chercheurs appellent la « paresse métacognitive » : l’érosion progressive de l’effort cognitif qui produit un apprentissage réel. Pour lui, ce n’est pas une contradiction à résoudre, c’est un défi de conception pédagogique. « La résolution de ce problème passe par la conception des cours, où il faut réintroduire délibérément l’effort cognitif et la réflexion dans l’usage de l’IA générative en tant qu’outil, et non en tant que substitut à la cognition humaine ». Un problème de posture Le problème n’est pas la technologie, mais la posture que l’utilisateur adopte face à elle. Celui qui formule ce qu’Alain appelle une « requête naïve » obtient une réponse naïve : bien mise en forme, parfaitement médiocre. L’outil est capable de bien davantage, à condition que l’utilisateur apporte suffisamment de connaissances métier et d’esprit critique à l’échange. « Il faut cultiver sa propre réflexion plutôt que de déléguer l’ensemble du processus à la machine ». C’est, je l’ai souligné durant notre entretien, moins une question de prompt engineering que de discipline intellectuelle de base : savoir interroger la question avant de la poser. Les départements de philosophie enseignent cela depuis des siècles, sans se soucier de la mode. IA générative dans l’enseignement supérieur : les enseignants doivent former les étudiants aux outils d’IA générative et à leurs limites. Ils enseignent aussi l’Odyssée d’Homère et Frankenstein de Shelley dans le cadre du cursus de management. Image réalisée avec Midjourney. Une autre vision de la culture numérique Cette observation a conduit Alain à formuler une vision de la culture numérique qui tranche avec ce qu’on entend généralement. Le débat ne porte pas seulement sur la maîtrise technique des outils, il porte autant sur la connaissance suffisante du sujet pour juger si le résultat produit a une quelconque valeur. L’IA générative ne remplace pas l’expertise : elle amplifie celle que l’utilisateur porte déjà en lui. Ce qui soulève une question dérangeante pour les établissements qui forment des diplômés sans leur donner l’occasion de développer cette expertise. À Neoma, la réponse est délibérément double. Les enseignants forment les étudiants aux outils d’IA générative et à leurs limites. Ils enseignent aussi l’Odyssée d’Homère et Frankenstein de Shelley dans le cadre du cursus de management. L’objectif n’est pas l’enrichissement culturel pour lui-même : il s’agit de donner aux étudiants des modèles mentaux pour se représenter ce que peut être le leadership, ou ce qui arrive quand une création échappe aux intentions de son créateur. Alain appelle cela « construire une infrastructure cognitive » : « Nous devons permettre aux étudiants d’appréhender le monde à travers différents modèles, différents types de processus et cadres théoriques, afin de développer une véritable pensée critique sur ce que produit l’IA ». Une école de management qui fait l’impasse sur ces fondements produit des diplômés capables de manier l’outil, mais incapables d’en évaluer les résultats. Des examens qui mesuraient la mauvaise chose C’est dans le domaine de l’évaluation que le problème apparaît le plus clairement. Un enseignant capable de produire un examen de deux heures en trois minutes fait face à des étudiants qui peuvent y répondre en un temps tout aussi court. La valeur de diagnostic de l’exercice s’est ainsi évaporée. « Si ChatGPT ou n’importe quel outil d’IA générative peut réussir un examen, il faut repenser cet examen ». La réponse d’Alain n’est pas un retour au papier-crayon, même s’il reconnaît que l’évaluation écrite en présentiel reste la solution la plus simple à portée de main. Si un outil d’IA générative peut réussir un examen, il faut repenser cet examen. La valeur diagnostique de l’exercice traditionnel a disparu. Image réalisée avec Midjourney. Sa réponse est structurelle : évaluer les compétences tout au long du cours plutôt que de mesurer l’acquisition de contenus en fin de parcours, via des évaluations plus fréquentes et à moindres enjeux. Une solution ? La résolution de problèmes en situation réelle, l’évaluation par le processus et les examens oraux en présentiel préservent une partie de ce que l’examen traditionnel était censé mesurer. Mais Alain est honnête sur les limites : aucun format n’est totalement à l’abri. Les modèles d’IA évoluent trop vite pour qu’une solution unique reste valable durablement. La bonne réponse n’est pas de trouver une formule définitive, mais de considérer la refonte des évaluations comme un travail permanent. La conclusion de l’article va plus loin : ce que l’enseignement supérieur vend réellement devra peut-être changer. Si des contenus peuvent être récupérés, synthétisés et restitués à coût quasi nul par un outil accessible à quiconque dispose d’un navigateur, un diplôme qui certifie la maîtrise de ces contenus certifie quelque chose dont la valeur s’érode. Ce qui résiste à cette érosion, ce sont les compétences que l’IA ne peut pas encore reproduire de façon crédible : le jugement contextuel, le raisonnement éthique, la capacité à construire des cadres d’analyse et à les confronter à la réalité. C’est aussi, en substance, la manière dont j’aborde l’enseignement de l’IA, que ce soit avec des étudiants d’écoles d’ingénieurs ou de commerce, notamment dans le cadre de mon cours à Omnes Education (qui en est désormais à sa quatrième année consécutive). IA générative dans l’enseignement supérieur : une institution fragmentée La réponse institutionnelle de l’enseignement supérieur à l’IA générative a été, pour le dire avec ménagement, inégale. Sciences Po a interdit ChatGPT en janvier 2023, avant de changer d’avis. Trente-cinq universités publiques françaises se sont associées à Mistral AI. Les établissements élaborent une charte nationale. Neoma, où Alain est directeur de l’innovation numérique, a été l’une des premières écoles de commerce françaises à formaliser son approche, en lançant un programme de formation des enseignants, du personnel et des étudiants autour d’un socle commun initial, avant de passer à des ateliers spécialisés sur la conception des cursus, l’évaluation et la refonte des expériences d’apprentissage. Ce que la recherche révèle, c’est que cette activité institutionnelle ne résout pas un problème unique. Trois groupes de parties prenantes tentent chacun de résoudre leur propre version du problème sous le même intitulé. Les étudiants veulent des règles et une formation à la culture de l’IA. De leur côté, les enseignants développent leurs propres approches pédagogiques via des ateliers entre pairs. Les doyens définissent les politiques et négocient les infrastructures souveraines. Les préoccupations s’échelonnent dans une direction prévisible : la performance académique individuelle pour les étudiants, l’intégrité des évaluations pour les enseignants, la réputation institutionnelle pour les doyens. Ces trois groupes ne sont pas toujours en dialogue. L’objectif, tel que Neoma l’a mis en pratique, est de réunir les trois publics autour de la technologie sous un cadrage partagé, suffisamment tôt pour qu’aucun groupe ne puisse s’enfermer dans une position rendant toute coordination ultérieure impossible. La question de l’équité La question de l’équité traverse ces trois niveaux. L’accès aux modèles d’IA haut de gamme n’est pas gratuit. Lorsque j’ai soulevé la question de l’écart entre les abonnements de base et les offres professionnelles, la réponse d’Alain est révélatrice : le problème d’infrastructure est réel, mais secondaire. « La plus grande inégalité ne porte pas sur l’accès à l’outil, mais sur la capacité à l’utiliser correctement ». À Neoma, le partenariat institutionnel avec Mistral donne à tous les étudiants accès à un outil de niveau professionnel. Ce que montrent les données, même à accès égal, c’est un fossé important entre les étudiants qui utilisent l’IA générative pour obtenir la réponse la plus rapide possible et ceux qui s’en servent pour approfondir leur réflexion. Ce fossé ne se comble pas par l’égalisation des abonnements. Même si je partage l’essentiel de ce qu’Alain avance, je pense que la hausse des prix des modèles haut de gamme est prévisible. Elle tient à l’écart entre les investissements consentis et les retours commerciaux obtenus. Cela conduira quasi inévitablement à une fracture économique entre ceux qui ont les moyens et ceux qui ne les ont pas. Il suffit de regarder la grille tarifaire de Claude d’Anthropic pour s’en convaincre. Au-delà du modèle Pro, très limité en termes d’usage de tokens, notamment si l’on utilise le modèle Opus 4.6 plus sophistiqué, les tarifs atteignent déjà 1 200 € par an. Ce n’est pas une somme négligeable, d’autant plus préoccupante à l’heure où Claude s’impose rapidement comme la référence pour les utilisateurs soucieux de qualité. Quel sera l’impact des prix vertigineux de l’IA générative sur l’enseignement supérieur ? Le problème des « héros de l’IA » L’une des formulations les plus frappantes qui ressort des travaux d’Alain est ce qu’il appelle le phénomène des « héros de l’IA ». Dans les établissements d’enseignement supérieur français, certains enseignants font un travail pédagogique excellent et innovant avec l’IA générative : ils conçoivent de nouveaux formats d’évaluation, animent des ateliers, repensent des modules entiers autour de l’apprentissage augmenté par l’IA. Ils produisent des résultats. Et ils le font en grande partie seuls, sans reconnaissance institutionnelle, sans incitations de carrière, sans aucun mécanisme pour partager ce qu’ils ont appris. Les incitations sont mal calibrées. Dans l’enseignement supérieur, c’est la production de recherche qui est récompensée, pas la conception pédagogique, du moins pas de la même façon. Un enseignant pionnier qui repense entièrement un programme autour des compétences liées à l’IA générative recevra peut-être moins de reconnaissance professionnelle qu’un collègue qui publie un seul article dans une revue. « Nous devons aider tous ces héros de l’IA à obtenir davantage de considération pour l’innovation pédagogique, ce qui n’est pas nécessairement le cas par défaut dans l’enseignement supérieur ». Le risque, si rien n’est fait, est l’émergence d’un système à deux vitesses : une minorité d’enseignants à l’aise avec le numérique qui tirent leurs étudiants vers l’avant, tandis que la majorité reste à la traîne, ni formée ni encouragée à s’engager. L’innovation de terrain est réelle et précieuse. Sans structures institutionnelles pour la reconnaître, la valoriser et la reproduire, elle reste une exception plutôt qu’un modèle. IA générative dans l’enseignement supérieur : quand la légitimité s’effrite L’armature théorique de l’étude repose sur le modèle triadique de légitimité de Suchman, qui distingue la légitimité pragmatique (l’outil sert-il mes intérêts ?), la légitimité morale (est-il conforme à mes valeurs ?) et la légitimité cognitive (est-il tenu pour acquis dans la façon dont les choses fonctionnent ?). Ce modèle a été conçu pour des technologies adoptées progressivement. L’IA générative l’a mis à l’épreuve dans des conditions d’adoption massive quasi instantanée. Alain et ses co-auteurs n’y voient pas une raison de rejeter le cadre, mais une occasion de l’enrichir : ils introduisent un continuum légitimité-illégitimité plutôt qu’une simple alternative binaire. Ce que révèlent les étudiants Le résultat qu’Alain décrit comme l’asymétrie la plus notable dans les données concerne la dimension morale chez les étudiants. Les plus grands utilisateurs d’IA générative n’accordent aucune légitimité morale à ces outils dans un contexte académique. Ils les associent, avec une forte fréquence, à la triche, au plagiat, à la dévaluation des diplômes et à l’injustice. Ils utilisent un outil qu’ils considèrent comme éthiquement compromis. Ce n’est manifestement pas tenable. Sur ce point, Alain a une opinion très différente. « Utiliser l’IA générative ne constitue pas nécessairement de la triche. Cela dépend entièrement de la façon dont on l’utilise et à quelle fin ». L’échec institutionnel, selon lui, tient au fait que les établissements n’ont pas fait suffisamment pour modifier la perception que les étudiants ont de la technologie. Ce que révèlent les enseignants Les enseignants offrent un tableau plus complet. Les six dimensions de légitimité et d’illégitimité sont présentes dans leurs réponses. Ils reconnaissent l’utilité de ces outils tout en mettant en doute leur fiabilité, les jugent professionnellement nécessaires tout en trouvant leur architecture opaque, et invoquent leur potentiel inclusif tout en signalant la paresse intellectuelle et l’érosion de la pensée critique comme leur préoccupation la plus fréquemment citée : 58 occurrences dans le corpus qualitatif. Ce que révèlent les directions pédagogiques Pour les directions de ces institutions, le thème dominant est stratégique. La pression concurrentielle, la crainte de se laisser distancer et les gains d’efficacité dans les flux administratifs génèrent une légitimité pragmatique et cognitive. Ce qui introduit de l’illégitimité, ce sont les risques liés à la gouvernance : protection des données, surconfiance dans les résultats produits par l’IA, menace pour l’intégrité des évaluations à l’échelle institutionnelle. Le mouvement théorique le plus significatif de l’article consiste à traiter l’illégitimité comme une catégorie analytique à part entière, et non comme la simple absence de légitimité. L’argument, emprunté à la théorie du changement, est que les signaux d’illégitimité doivent être lus comme des signaux d’alerte qui appellent une réaction rapide. Un établissement qui interprète le malaise moral des étudiants vis-à-vis de l’IA générative comme un simple problème de communication passe à côté du signal. Ce malaise dit quelque chose sur ce que le cursus enseigne réellement, et sur ce que l’évaluation mesure effectivement. Lorsque les étudiants associent l’IA générative à la triche, à l’injustice et à la dévaluation des diplômes, ils ne sont pas irrationnels. Ils se trouvent dans les phases de déni et de résistance du modèle de changement de Scott et Jaffe. Les établissements ne peuvent pas se contenter d’étouffer ce signal : ils doivent traiter ce qu’il révèle. Source : adapté de Scott & Jaffe, « Survive and Thrive in Times of Change », tracé avec Claude. Voir : expertprogrammanagement.com/2018/05/scott-and-jaffe-change-model/ France, souveraineté et course mondiale Le contexte français ajoute une couche de complexité que la recherche saisit avec précision statistique et nuance qualitative. Sur le plan quantitatif, l’analyse n’a révélé aucune différence statistiquement significative dans la dynamique d’adoption de l’IA générative entre les universités publiques et les écoles de commerce. Sur le plan qualitatif, les choses diffèrent. Les écoles de commerce évoluant dans un marché très concurrentiel, ont avancé plus vite. Les universités publiques se sont mobilisées de façon plus systématique autour de la gouvernance, de la souveraineté et des infrastructures collectives, comme en témoigne l’alliance de 35 établissements avec Mistral AI et EdTech France. Alain n’y voit pas une contradiction, mais une division du travail qui, bien gérée, pourrait constituer un véritable atout. « Nous devons jouer collectif, parce que la compétition est mondiale ». La question de l’infrastructure d’IA souveraine, notamment la fédération ILaaS et le partenariat du ministère de l’Enseignement supérieur avec Mistral, déployé dans 26 universités pilotes depuis septembre 2025, n’est pas simplement symbolique. Il s’agit de permettre aux établissements français d’exploiter, de gouverner et d’adapter leurs outils d’IA sans dépendance envers des fournisseurs dont la tarification, les conditions et les capacités peuvent évoluer à tout moment. Encore faut-il que l’effet d’entraînement vers tel ou tel outil ne devienne pas trop fort. En ce moment, il est difficile de résister à l’envie d’utiliser Claude d’Anthropic quand tout le monde loue la qualité de son code et de ses résultats. Et le reste du monde ? La comparaison internationale est difficile à ignorer. Singapour, la Corée du Sud et les Émirats arabes unis intègrent la maîtrise de l’IA comme compétence nationale fondamentale dès le secondaire. Le regard d’Alain est direct : les décideurs publics français ne sont pas encore suffisamment préparés à l’ampleur de ce qui vient. « Avoir moins de personnes compétentes en IA que dans d’autres parties du monde est très dangereux pour notre économie et pour l’ensemble de nos organisations ». Le réflexe réglementaire, profondément ancré dans la culture politique européenne, n’est pas sans fondement. Prendre le temps de réguler de façon responsable a de la valeur. Mais cela ne peut pas se substituer à la rapidité d’adoption au niveau des compétences et des cursus. La question qui encadre la recherche L’entretien se termine, comme il se doit, par la méta-question : qu’est-ce que cela signifie d’étudier la légitimité de l’IA générative en utilisant l’IA générative ? L’équipe d’Alain a utilisé ChatGPT, Perplexity, NotebookLM et OpenAI O3 dans le processus de recherche, et l’a indiqué explicitement dans la déclaration d’utilisation de l’article. Sa réponse à la question des biais est prudente. Chaque étape de l’analyse a impliqué un codeur humain. L’équipe a confronté le codage assisté par IA à une analyse indépendante préalable des mêmes données, réalisée pour un rapport institutionnel français, puis comparé les deux séries. « Il faut être transparent sur l’usage que l’on fait de ces outils, pour quel objectif, à chaque étape ». Cette déclaration était un choix délibéré, précisément parce que le sujet de l’article rendait toute autre approche intenable. Utiliser l’IA pour améliorer la qualité d’un texte et l’utiliser pour en générer un que l’on présente ensuite comme le sien sont deux choses différentes. Techniquement, c’est une question de degré. Dans les faits, c’est la différence entre un travail assumé et une abdication. L’équipe d’Alain a su naviguer entre les deux pour publier. La plupart des étudiants de son corpus cherchent encore à tracer cette ligne, dans un environnement où personne ne l’a clairement expliquée et où les outils d’évaluation n’ont pas encore été reconstruits pour lui donner du sens. Trois recommandations, une par partie prenante Lorsqu’on lui a demandé une recommandation concrète par groupe de parties prenantes, les réponses d’Alain ont été sans ambiguïté. Pour les étudiants : associer la culture technique de l’IA, comprendre le fonctionnement des outils et connaître leurs modes de défaillance, à une réflexion critique et éthique authentique sur les résultats produits. Ni l’une ni l’autre de ces dimensions ne suffit seule. Un étudiant capable de formuler des requêtes avec fluidité mais incapable d’évaluer le résultat n’a rien appris d’utile. Pour les enseignants : ces enseignants pionniers, que lui-même appelle les « héros de l’IA », ne peuvent pas être laissés à opérer seuls. Les établissements doivent créer les conditions du partage des bonnes pratiques au sein de la communauté enseignante, et accorder à l’innovation pédagogique la reconnaissance professionnelle qui lui fait actuellement défaut. Un enseignant qui repense de fond en comble son dispositif d’évaluation mérite au moins autant de crédit institutionnel qu’un collègue qui soumet une communication à un colloque. Pour les dirigeants institutionnels : un cadre politique à plusieurs niveaux n’est pas une option. Les étudiants, les enseignants et le personnel administratif n’abordent pas l’IA générative depuis le même angle, et une politique unique imposée de haut en bas ne satisfera aucun d’eux. La direction doit gérer ces trois dimensions en même temps, et ouvrir un dialogue véritable entre les groupes avant qu’une crise ne force la main. « Les doyens doivent penser à toutes ces dimensions en même temps, et c’est là la partie difficile de l’histoire autour de l’intelligence artificielle ». Des trois niveaux, Alain identifie le niveau institutionnel comme le plus urgent. Les étudiants et les enseignants s’adaptent déjà, imparfaitement, en temps réel. Les cadres institutionnels qui permettraient de donner un sens et une direction à ces adaptations restent, dans la plupart des cas, à construire. L’urgence n’est pas exagérée. La complexité non plus. Le défi d’intégrer l’IA générative de façon responsable dans l’enseignement supérieur est un défi qu’aucun établissement ne peut se permettre d’ignorer, ni de relever seul.

"Humanism has been the dominant Western belief system of the last century. It's based on the worship of human wisdom, human creation, human experience, human mind, and psychoanalysis has very much emerged from this humanist tradition. We believe in psychoanalysis, that delving into our feelings, our thoughts, and our shared wisdom will allow us to access truth and meaning and find proper direction for navigating life. AI is changing all of that. Instead of trusting our feelings and our thoughts, people are turning to algorithms to make meaning of our experiences and to offer us direction. We're plugging in our data and allowing the algorithms, or Chat GPT or Claude, to do the thinking and the decision making for us." Episode Description: We begin with Freud in 1930: "Humanity would proceed to create unimaginably great advances in technology so as to increase our likeness to God." Amy outlines the challenge that AI poses to our humanistic tradition and values within which psychoanalysis makes its home. She starts with the 'cult grooming' aspects of smartphones, which introduces our exchanging "human dependence for AI companionship." The question of the subjectivity of AI is a central focus, with some analysts emphasizing its "simulation of human intimacy" and others considering that "is it not also possible for AIs to at the same time be intersubjectively engaged with us?" Regarding using AIs as a therapist, we discuss the clinical implications of "without there being two bodies in a room, the contact is shallow and lacking an essential human component." Amy describes "a desire for transgression" involving AIs as well as the associated search for immortality that they represent. She writes about Bach's prescient 2008 term of "digital consciousness" as contrasted with the "analog watch where one can see the hour from which the hand has come and the hour to which it is going." Amy shares that it was fear that motivated her personal interest in the AI world we are facing, and she closes with, "And how do we address what we are losing from within psychoanalysis?"   Our Guest: Amy Levy, PhD, is a clinical psychologist and psychoanalyst. She chairs the American Psychoanalytic Association President's Commission on Artificial Intelligence, serves on the subcommittee "Artificial Intelligence" for the International Psychoanalytical Association, serves on the editorial board of The Psychoanalytic Quarterly, and is Editor of the Substack series, "AI in My Mind," for The Psychoanalytic Quarterly. Along with her fellow CAI chair, Todd Essig, she is producing a documentary film for APsA which examines AI from a psychoanalytic perspective for the general public, entitled: Uncharted Territory: Humans and the Rise of AI. Dr. Levy is in private practice in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. She is the author of the 2026 book, The New Other: Alien Intelligence and the Innovation Drive. Recommended Readings:  Harari, Y. N.

Out of order awesomeness... Which luxury and/or exotic cars are preferred by crooks and food-stamp fraudsters (by brand - Ferarris and Lambos and Porsches, oh my) - and what your car behavior says about you (publicly, on gov't docs, you fool), why trusting Door Dash randos to not film you passed out through a closed door and then go full tick-tocking victim-voyeur is probably a bridge too far (invite the worst and you'll get it) and why there's an entire generation that deserves the Ray Liotta prison-island treatment, and the sad death of a (and some fun history about) the first-generation Toyota Rav4. There's also a warning from the Gearhead Consultancy: when you're having fun at less-sanctioned small-scale car-guy gatherings like a bit of crawling, an illegal street race or a monster truck event in Colombia, keeping your head on a swivel is not optional - what keeps you safe is YOU. All that, plus project pouncing (let the geek ride!), Led Zeppelin, battle-driving and coyotes in Chi-town, Bigfoot and friends (El Squatcho and attack avocados - real or just underdiscovered?), and wearing pants for the neighbors.

Welcome to our bi-monthly ENCORE PRESENTATION of classic REVOLUTIONS PER MOVIE episodes from the vault! Today, as we frustratingly say goodbye (for now) to Stephen Colbert on Late Night, I bring you the sweetest and most honest discussion from The Late Show With Stephen Colbert writer & performer, the legendary Brian Stack. Not only did we discuss his love and passion for Townes Van Zandt (whose documentary he chose to discuss), but he was also really open about his time at Late Night With Conan O'Brien and his transition to working on Colbert's show, offering a fascinating glimpse into the world of late-night.Hope to see you again soon, Dr. Frankenstein's Monster!(Episode 104 originally aired on July 17th, 2025).This week, I am joined by one of the greatest late-night writers & performers of all time, BRIAN STACK (Late Night With Conan O'Brien, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert), who picked a beloved music documentary to discuss: Be Here To Love Me - A Film About Townes Van Zandt.We discuss the differences between working on Conan and Stephen's shows, the last-minute panic of doing a late night show, my experience performing on Conan, accidental mistakes turning into magic, how many of Brian's characters are tragically musical, band banter, the melancholy edge of the best comedy, how musicians who write the best sad songs are often the funniest people, the creation of the band Slipnutz, how Townes' music came into both our lives later in life, songs that tear you heart out, being a musician's musician, The Stooges, Aimee Mann, Dave Alvin, The Chelsea Hotel being the headquarters of Zandt's record label, how Townes is his own storyteller in this documentary, self-destructive tendencies in comedy and music, Dylan and Townes relationship, our Chris Elliott obsessions, being under-heard and misunderstood, Steve Shelley of Sonic Youth trying to help Townes make a record, the documentary Heartworn Highways, Neko Case, Mick Jagger's country accent, writing songs in your dreams and so much more.So let's laugh through the pain on this week's episode of Revolutions Per Movie.BRIAN STACK:https://teamcoco.com/celebs/brian-stackREVOLUTIONS PER MOVIE:Host Chris Slusarenko (Eyelids, Guided By Voices, owner of Clinton Street Video rental store) is joined by actors, musicians, comedians, writers & directors who each week pick out their favorite music documentary, musical, music-themed fiction film, or music videos to discuss.

It's Memorial Day in the United States, a day devoted to remembering the soldiers who have died in service. Together, the society grieves, mourns, and attempts to unite. Similarly, communities can come together through actions like loving; giving; marrying; conversing; acting and doing; and speaking to one another. But what happens when individuals are blocked from the processes that bring a community together? In this episode, Jacke talks to author Sarah Beckwith about her book Shakespeare and Loss: The Late, Great Tragedies, which looks at Shakespeare's use of protagonists who are driven out (or drive themselves out) of family and society in plays like Hamlet, King Lear, Timon of Athens, Macbeth, Coriolanus, and Antony and Cleopatra. How (and why) does Shakespeare portray individuals who have lost their access to these vital concepts of human bonding? And what can we learn from Shakespeare's examples? PLUS Caroline Lea (Love, Sex, and Frankenstein) stops by to discuss her choice for the last book she will ever read. The music in this episode is by Gabriel Ruiz-Bernal.

Frankenstein Factory — The Story Behind The Song The Counter Kingdom may be finished… but the music side of Leal Legacy is far from done. One thing I've realized recently is that I create a lot of standalone songs that don't necessarily belong to larger albums or themed projects but are way too fun and creatively fulfilling to just sit unreleased on a hard drive. So with this episode of The Leal Legacy Podcast, I'm introducing a new type of episode: Song Stories These episodes will dive into the inspiration, concepts, and creative process behind original songs from Leal Legacy Music. And the very first entry is: Frankenstein Factory The idea sparked while watching the original 1931 Universal Frankenstein film. As I watched Doctor Frankenstein assemble his creature, my mind wandered toward the modern world: AI assistants humanoid robotics synthetic humans automation mass production Most modern discussions about robots assume synthetic materials:metal parts, wires, processors, silicone skin. But then the weird question hit me: What if Frankenstein's method actually worked? Not metaphorically.Literally. What if future AI assistants weren't manufactured using synthetic components… but were assembled from harvested biological parts like Frankenstein's monster? And if that technology existed, eventually it would become industrialized. Factories would emerge.Assembly lines would form.Workers would punch in every day to help create artificial life. That world became: Frankenstein Factory From there, the concept somehow evolved even further into something unexpected: A 1960's-style country song about what it would feel like to work there. A strange mix of: Universal horror retro Americana AI anxiety factory labor culture and old-school country storytelling Honestly… it might be one of the weirdest and most uniquely “Leal Legacy” ideas I've ever created. And that's exactly why I love it. If people connect with these Song Stories episodes, maybe some of these standalone songs eventually get full independent releases of their own. Until then…welcome to the factory.

They walk through why "insurability is a currency," how convertible term lets you shield tens of millions from estate tax without consuming your exemption, and why the conventional advice to move everything out of your estate is often wrong.Chapters: 00:00 – Opening segment01:55 – Why estate planning is unique to every family 04:25 – The Last Will and Testament: pros, cons, and the guardianship rule 09:35 – The "title test": what goes in the will vs. the trust 12:30 – Probate, public record, and Robin Williams 18:10 – Revocable trusts: what they actually do 25:40 – Frankenstein trusts and the funding problem 27:55 – Pour-over wills as the catch-all 33:25 – Why vague language kills directives 41:30 – Financial power of attorney and conservatorship 44:20 – Why banks demand their own POA forms 48:50 – Why the four documents stay separate 51:35 – Estate tax vs. income tax 01:01:00 – A real case: $6M policy, the irrevocable fix 01:04:00 – Insurability is a currency 01:11:50 – The Rockefeller Method: IBC on the kids 01:17:25 – Intentionally Defective Grantor Trusts 01:23:50 – Why the IRS allows hot-swapping assets 01:35:15 – Apocalyptic optionality: how IBC creates options 01:37:35 – Closing thoughtsKey Takeaways:Every American needs the big four documents: a will, a revocable trust, a medical directive, and a financial power of attorney. The will is non-negotiable if you have kids because it names guardians, and a trust cannot.Insurability is a currency. Every healthy year you don't lock in coverage is wealth left on the table, and convertible term placed in an irrevocable trust consumes $0 of your $30M estate tax exemption.The contrarian play is to keep assets in your estate, not out of it. Preserve the step-up in basis on appreciating assets, then use massive life insurance death benefit (owned irrevocably) to pay the inevitable tax bill tax-free.Whole life beat the Barclays Aggregate Bond Index in 9 of the last 10 years after tax. The 15-year return on the broadest bond index is 2.21% taxable versus roughly 4.5-5% tax-free for dividend-paying whole life, with a death benefit on top.The Rockefeller Method scales this across generations. Start max-funded IBC policies on the kids, keep them in your estate, and create cascading multi-generational liquidity where each generation gets a step-up and tax-free death benefit to pay the next round of taxes.

Thom and Bill dissect minute 38 of FRANKENSTEIN MEETS THE WOLF MAN.

This week, the boys have a blast getting political, discussing 1969's “Z”. This French-language movie was filmed in Algeria about a true story in Greece, and it feels like it could be 2026. The themes of the film are deep, and the tension is high, but we drink whiskey and beer, so we had fun discussing!

In this episode, Chris and Gerry explore the classic Universal horror film Bride of Frankenstein (1935), directed by James Whale and starring Boris Karloff, Colin Clive, and Elsa Lanchester. Widely considered one of the greatest horror sequels ever made, the film expands the tragic story of Frankenstein's Monster with unforgettable performances, gothic atmosphere, dark humor, and groundbreaking visuals. We'll discuss the movie's production history, themes of loneliness and humanity, the unforgettable creation of the Bride, and why this film remains one of the crown jewels of classic horror cinema. From the Monster's emotional journey to Dr. Pretorius' sinister plans, Bride of Frankenstein continues to influence horror movies nearly a century later. If you love classic horror, Universal Monster, gothic cinema, and vintage monster movies, this deep dive is for you.   Topics covered include: The legacy of Universal horror films Boris Karloff's legendary performance Elsa Lanchester as both Mary Shelley and the Bride James Whale's unique directing style The film's gothic visuals and horror atmosphere The Monster's tragic humanity Behind-the-scenes production stories Why Bride of Frankenstein is still influential today Like, comment, and subscribe for more classic horror discussions, movie retrospectives, and Universal Monsters content!

In 1983, Isaac Asimov predicted that computers would let every person learn what they wanted, in their own time, at their own speed. Forty years on, that vision is more or less the world we live in. So what else might science fiction have to tell us about the future we're already inside? Welcome to The Tech Imaginarium — a new six-part series exploring how science fiction made the modern world. Co-hosts John Helmer and Ezri Carlebach introduce the season ahead, the texts and authors they'll be reading as "skewed mirrors" of our technological present, and why now is exactly the right moment to be paying attention to SF.   In this episode: Asimov's startlingly accurate 1983 prediction about computer-aided learning Why science fiction is a form of learning, not just entertainment — Stephen Baxter's "skewed mirror" A first look at the six-episode season: Amazing Stories at 100, five foundational SF authors, two episodes on Asimov, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, and the awkward question of whether SF predicts the future   Links and resources: Website: learninghackpodcast.com Instagram: @TechImaginarium Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@JohnHelmerConsulting   Music by Nick Dwyer and Flintet.

Hope you're having a great week — or at least a better week than certain senators and congressmen who thought it would be okay to run against Trump and smear his supporters.Did you see Thomas Massie — the Kentucky congressman who lost his primary after slamming Trump? In his concession speech he said he was unable to reach his opponent because he “was in Tel Aviv.” Running against Trump is part of the democratic process and should be welcomed — using slurs against your opponent is not. The world is turning very dark, very antisemitic. We are here to expose and explain it all.On this week's podcast we bring you the latest about these and other issues — including what they're NOT telling you about the ABORTION PILL.Did you know the FDA is still withholding 125,000 pages of documents about the safety of the pill that is the most common method of abortion in the US? In the podcast we lay out exactly what's being hidden and why it matters.And it's official — girls aren't safe in Australia anymore.An Australian man, pretending to be a woman, has now sued a girls-only app which excluded him, and won in court after court, and been given full access. The courts ruled he can invade female spaces and they're fining anyone who tries to stop him. We break down the full ruling and what it means for women's spaces everywhere.We're joined by the brilliant broadcaster and journalist Mollie Hemingway, who reveals why she thinks Samuel Alito is the most underrated Supreme Court Justice in America. And you will not believe the dangerous behavior of the liberal justices on the court who seemed to do all they could to bring harm to their colleagues in the run-up to the historic Dobbs case that overturned Roe v. Wade. You can buy her book at the link below.And we may hate Harvey Weinstein's politics, but we hate mob justice even more. After his latest trial in New York, it's time to say: free Harvey Weinstein and end the “Believe All Women” madness. We give you the full story of his case and the disturbing details the public hasn't heard. It really is an untold story. When Harvey Weinstein was first on trial we were at the courthouse every day and produced our verbatim podcast series, The Harvey Weinstein Trial: Unfiltered. Please check it out at the link below.And in our “Crazy Headline of the Week” series there's a hot new “intellectual” take on the Frankenstein story — and according to the smart set, the monster isn't who you think it is. He is actually transgender!There really is nobody who can be as stupid as a smart liberal.We were honored to be invited by the Israeli Embassy to their Independence Day celebrations in D.C. The Ambassador delivered a powerful speech that left the room moved — it's this week's inspiration. Stay tuned at the end of the episode to hear the full excerpt. It's a story of loss (his son was killed in Gaza), defiance, and moral clarity.To listen to The Harvey Weinstein Trial: Unfiltered, click here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-harvey-weinstein-trial-unfiltered/id1494504816 To buy Mollie Hemingway's latest book about Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, click here: https://a.co/d/0fxw2Y1G*****************************************************To Donate: https://secure.anedot.com/unreported-story-society/october7_dublinProjects You Need to Check Out: https://unreportedstorysociety.com/our-projects/To read Substack https://substack.com/@phelimmcaleer?r=58t52b&utm_medium=ios&utm_source=stories&shareImageVariant=image Mollie Hemingway SocialsX: @MZHemingway Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MollieZHemingway?https://www.facebook.com/MollieZHemingway?Ann & Phelim SocialsPhelim's X: (https://x.com/PhelimMcAleer)Ann's X: (https://x.com/annmcelhinney)USS SocialsInsta: (https://www.instagram.com/unreportedstorysociety/)Facebook: (https://www.facebook.com/TheAPScoop/)X: (https://x.com/AP_Unreported)*****************************************************

This week you get a bonus episode because we are revisiting the conversation we had back last November with Daniel Kraus, the author of Angel Down.  This novel just won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction.  So enjoy and we will be back with an all new episode next week.   Our website - www.perksofbeingabooklover.com. Instagram - @perksofbeingabookloverpod Facebook - Perks of Being a Book Lover. To send us a message go to our website and click the Contact button.   You can find Daniel Kraus at his website danielkraus.com or on IG at @kraus_author.   This week our episode features Daniel Kraus, a writer who has published over 20 books, but among moviegoers he may be best known as the co-author with Guillermo del Toro of The Shape of Water. The film of this story won four Oscars in 2018. Daniel's 2023 novel Whalefall is being turned into a 20th Century Fox motion picture, and I hope that at some point his latest novel, Angel Down, will also be on film.  Both the premise and writing in Angel Down are unique. It is the story of a group of World War I soldiers told to go into No Man's Land to rescue what they think is a wounded soldier. What they find is an angel. If you enjoy war novels, and even if you don't, I recommend giving this book a read.    Our book rec section of the show features books related to women in politics. If you are interested in politics yet hate the nuttery of American government at the moment, these books can provide a reprieve. We have contemporary fiction, biography, memoir, alternative history, and electoral nonfiction.    Books Mentioned in this Episode: 1- Whalefall by Daniel Kraus  2- Angel Down by Daniel Kraus  3- The Shape of Water by Guillermo del Toro and Daniel Kraus 4- Frankenstein by Mary Shelley 5- The Leaphorn and Chee Series by Tony Hillerman 6- Hearts of the Missing by Carol Potenza 7- The Death and Life of Zebulon Finch by Daniel Kraus  8- Wolf at the Table by Adam Rapp  9- From Under the Truck by Josh Brolin 10- Madonna in a Fur Coat by Sabahattin Ali  11- The Rachel Incident by Caroline O'Donoghue  12- A Five Star Read recommended by fellow Book Lover State Katz @all.da.bookish.things - The Witch's Orchard by Archer Sullivan  13- Cleo McDougal Regrets Nothing by Alison Winn Scotch  14- Charlotte Walsh Likes to Win by Jo Piazza 15- The Partisan Gap: Why Democratic Women Get Elected But Republican Women Don't by Laurel Elder  16- Rodham by Curtis Sittenfeld  17- Mrs. Lincoln: A Life by Catherine Clinton  18- A Different Kind of Power by Jacinda Arden   Media Mentioned: 1- Frankenstein (2025-Netflix) 2- Dark Winds (2022 - present, Netflix) 3- The Shape of Water (2017) 4- 1917 (2019) 5- Whalefall (Upcoming Fall 2026) 6- Michelle Obama Says US Not Ready for a Female President - https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/michelle-obama-says-us-not-ready-woman-president-rcna244136    

Timecop (1994) Director: Peter HyamsCast: Jean-Claude Van Damme, Mia Sara, Ron Silver, Bruce McGillTime travel has been invented — and naturally, someone's already trying to weaponize it to steal an election. Welcome to Timecop, the 1994 JCVD action sci-fi spectacle where the mullets are questionable, the CGI is deeply committed to being bad, and the concept is actually way more interesting than it has any right to be.In this week's episode of Dewey Pod Monster, Sean and John strap in, hit 88 mph (or whatever the hell they use in this movie), and dive into one of Jean-Claude Van Damme's most enduring and most gloriously flawed films.In this episode, we discuss:Same Matter, Different Problems — The movie beats you over the head with its one rule of time travel — "the same matter can't occupy the same space at the same time" — exactly five zillion times, and somehow still makes a mess of it. We break down every paradox, plot hole, and moment where the logic completely waved goodbye and walked off a cliff.1994 Predicted Everything (Badly) — Ron Silver's corrupt senator wants to buy the presidency using time-stolen money and the power of television. In 2004. It's played as a sinister, far-fetched scheme. We... had some feelings about how eerily close to home that lands in 2025.The CGI Crimes of Our Time — From the rubber-faced time-warp tunnel sequences to the absolute train wreck of Ron Silver touching Ron Silver, this movie's visual effects are a special kind of ambitious failure. We discuss what a modern reboot could do with 30 extra years of technology — and why we'd actually show up for that.We Also Talked About:Body Count (1986) (Tubi)— Sean caught this Ruggero Deodato (of Cannibal Holocaust fame) Italian slasher set in an autumnal forest. Incoherent plot, Friday the 13th vibes that go completely off the rails, and a banger theme song by Claudio Simonetti that rivals Friday the 13th Part III. Charles Napier and David Hess show up. Available on Tubi if you're feeling adventurous.I'm Going to Be Famous (1983) (Ok.Ru) — A direct-to-video melodrama about aspiring actors gunning for their big break, featuring Dick Sargent (I Dream of Jeannie) as a theatrical director. It goes places. Specifically, it ends with a live on-air shooting and a farmer dad beaming with pride that his son is finally on TV. Sean does not heartily recommend it but cannot stop talking about it.Widow's Bay (Apple Tv)— A new Apple TV+ horror-comedy series starring Matthew Rhys (Perry Mason, The Americans) as the skeptical mayor of a cursed New England island. Sean is fully sold — it leans hard into the comedy and actually sticks the landing, which John argues is the only way a horror-comedy works. Eight episodes, dropping weekly.Electric Boogaloo: The Wild, Untold Story of Cannon Films (2014) (Youtube) — John calls this a high recommend for anyone who grew up watching late '70s and '80s action trash. A relentlessly entertaining documentary full of insane production stories, Golan and Globus being magnificently delusional, Tobe Hooper being surprisingly articulate, and more T&A than any non-pornographic documentary has any business containing. Pair with The Go-Go Boys but watch that one first.The Bride (2025) (Amazon) — Maggie Gyllenhaal directs this very loose Bride of Frankenstein retelling with Christian Bale and Jessie Buckley. Looks gorgeous. Both leads are great. Opens five storylines and closes exactly zero of them satisfyingly. Goth Moulin Rouge meets Bonnie and Clyde vibes. John is somewhere in the middle, but would absolutely watch a sequel.New episodes of the Dewey Pod Monster podcast drop every week. We're proud members of the YouRun Podcast Network.

Rae is doing a deep dive on 1973's Flesh for Frankenstein, often known as Andy Warhol's Frankenstein, directed by Paul Morrissey. Filmed during Warhol's 'Silver Factory' time in NYC, this film is a vast departure from the tried and true Frankenstein myth. Full of sex, gore, and over-the-top filmmaking, this is an absolute delight. Also, you need to watch this flix, just for Udo Kier's pronunciations....wowzersWhere to Find us:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Threads⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Letterboxd⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠boozeboobsandbloodpodcast@gmail.comb3horrorpodcast.combluesky: @⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠b3podcast.bsky.social⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Works cited:McAvity, S.

Hello! And welcome to The Dana Gould Hour Podcast. Fasten your enthusiasm harness, we are blasting off, yet again.   This episode is a little late arriving, my apologies. In addition to my going on staff at a new TV show, which has forced me to rearrange my schedule a bit, we also had the taping of the Dr. Z live show at the Netflix Is A Joke Festival and the launching of the Hanging With Dr. Z season 4 Indiegogo campaign.   Then we had some technical difficulties that delayed us a bit as we cleaned up some recordings and, long story short, we're late. BUT, we're here now and the next month's episode is right on schedule so we should be all caught up in no time.   We're going to start this month's episode with a discussion of Hel Mel. What is Hel Mel you ask? Well, it's short for the intersection of Heliotrope and Melrose Ave in Los Angeles, which is an arty little neighborhood over by LA City College. And it's also the name of an art gallery and art collective, located there, that was formed by actor Val Kilmer. We're going to talk to Steven Meyer, who was a longtime friend of Kilmer who ran the gallery with him. Steven has had a wide-ranging career stretching from the New York theater and music scene stretching to well, the LA art scene. Excellent conversation with Steven Meyer.   Also, Julian David Stone is here. Julian grew up in the Bay Area where he started his career as a rock 'n' roll photographer, and he's here to talk about his book of photography, No Cameras Allowed: My Career As An Outlaw Rock N Roll Photographer. In addition, He has a new novel out called It's Alive, which is a novel, but based in the very true story of the tumult, chaos and corporate fuckery that went on behind the scenes at the Universal Studios in 1930, the week before the studio began filming Frankenstein. One of the studio's all-time hits, a film with a culture impact that we still feel today, and the week before it started filming, the whole thing almost fell apart. If you like horror movies, or just movies, it's must read. Especially when you realize that what happened at Universal during this short period in 1930, is STILL going on today. Bananas.   True Tales From Weirdsville tells you the sordid tale of a man who came to be known as The Emperor Of Night, The Marquis d'Hervey De Saint Denys, who, in the 1800's discovered for lack of a better term, the concept of lucid dreaming. Dreams when you know you know you're dreaming. This concept moved through the history and is still with us today. The conceit that you can actually write and direct your dreams. It's TRUE. Lucid dreaming. It's real. I think. Or is it?   As for me, on Saturday May 16th I'll be at the Historic Everett Theater in Everett Washington, just up the road from Seattle.On Saturday June 27th I'll be in Pittsburgh, PA as part of the DVE Comedy Festival and fans of Hanging with Dr Z are invited to be a part of our season 4 Indiegogo campaign. For information on all this stuff, please visit the live appearances page at DanaGould.com or, my Facebook or Instagram pages.   You can follow Dr Z on Instagram at HangingWithDrZ.com in case you didn't know.   Lastly, thank God, this program is brought to by you.

Dave is back from a week off and there is a LOT to catch up on. Dave & Cody do a speed-run recap of episode three "Merrily We Go," then dig into the season's biggest hour yet — episode four, "Of Myths and Monsters." Boyd and Jade continue their mission to find answers. Henry gets the worst news any father has ever received. Sophia trains Sara like a dog using a glass of water and a broken arm. Fatima starts building a clay golem with a one-eyed Elgin as her assistant. Julie storywalks her way into a confrontation with the Man in Yellow mid-meal. Ethan finds a lake that may or may not be the Lake of Tears, but something is down there either way. Plus a Fromspiracy on why thinking things into being might take time in Fromville, a Mr. Fish and Loaves callback that may or may not mean something biblical, and the saddest RIP segment yet — for whoever lives in the room directly under Fatima's mud Frankenstein.https://linktr.ee/PopCulturePastorPod

The term “Restomod” gets thrown around a lot these days. In an era where more people are modifying and modernizing old cars more than ever before, it's probably time we draw some boundaries to truly understand what OEM+, OEM++, and Restomod REALLY mean in the current modified car landscape. === Visit https://JasonSentMe.com for a quote on Hagerty's Guaranteed Value® Insurance! === The subject of today's studio background is a 1963 Mercedes-Benz 230SL - yes, a Pagoda - with a host of Mercedes family modifications including but not limited to: 5.4L M113 V8 engine from a W220 S55 AMG 6 speed manual transmission from an SLK230 Brakes from a C126 560SEC Rear multilink suspension from a W209 CLK And many more odds and ends that make it all play nicely together. Effectively transformed from a grandma cruiser to a backroad hell-raiser, Jason and Derek begin to wonder - is this just an engine/transmission swap, or has enough been done to constitute restomod status? This car comes from none other than Matt Kwiek from Kwiek Classics, who has become known for manual-swapping CLK63 AMG Black Series as well as a host of other Frankenstein'd Mercedes-Benzes. This one certainly got Jason, Derek, and company howling with laughter, but is emotion enough to constitute a restomod? Naturally other restomod vehicles are brought into discussion - like the Cyan Racing P1800, Totem Automobile GT Super, Automobile Amos Delta Futurista, Tuthil 911K, and the Kimera 037. While these cars occupy a different market share and purpose, the Mercedes can probably keep up with the best of them on the right backroad. But does a more honest appearance and single-marque parts origin constitute OEM+? Jason's MK3 Cabrio VR6 swap seems to fall into that category - but it still resembles a car that could have been built by Volkswagen in period. This Pagoda, however……would drift circles around its swing-armed original - and not flip over!! Maybe it's in a class of its own. Jason also discusses a recent trip to LA for the Air Water Show weekend, where he attends Good Vibes Breakfast Club with Andreas Preuninger, Director of Porsche's GT Line. While he didn't drive the GT3 S/C as expected, he did drive a Supercharged, LS-swapped 1978 Pontiac Trans Am making 700+ WHP. The car was so dialed in, we continue to wonder - does it qualify as a restomod? Or is it just a swap with all the right trimmings?  You'll have to listen to find out - all this and more on this episode of The Carmudgeon Show. Learn more about your ad choices.

#1003 |  Ed and Dominic discuss United's new Betway training kit sponsorship worth £18m per year and the wider ethics and prevalence of betting money in football as front-of-shirt bans loom. They then cover controversy around the FA Youth Cup final being staged at City's 6,000-capacity Joie Stadium, limiting United's allocation compared to the 67,000 at Old Trafford in 2022. The conversation turns to Michael Carrick's interim reign: a pragmatic approach, improved results and momentum, Mainoo's introduction, and the risks of replacing him amid a thin managerial market and a Frankenstein squad. Then they preview Sunderland away, prioritising momentum above the introduction of too many youth team stars. 00:00 Introduction 01:36 Betway Training Kit Sponsorship 09:58 FA Youth Cup Final Controversy 14:06 Academy Players and the Reality of Elite Youth Football 22:12 Michael Carrick: The Case For and Against 31:37 The Manager Market and Alternatives to Carrick 38:18 Transfer Plans and Squad Needs for Next Season 40:28 Sunderland Match Preview If you are interested in supporting the show and accessing a weekly exclusive bonus episode, check out our Patreon page or subscribe on Apple Podcasts.

Malala Yousafzai was 15 when a Taliban gunman shot her for advocating for girls' education in her native Pakistan. She understood that she was a target. “I had pictured it many times that this could happen. I had pictured it at school. I had pictured it in my school bus. I knew that the Taliban could do anything,” she told Terry Gross. Yousafzai won the Nobel Peace Prize when she was just 17 years old. In an interview from a live event onstage, she talks about her childhood before the incident and finding herself after being in the public eye for so long.Also, we hear from actor Oscar Isaac. He's currently starring in the Netflix series ‘Beef' and recently played Dr. Victor Frankenstein in Guillermo del Toro's adaptation of ‘Frankenstein.' Book critic Maureen Corrigan recommends three books for the spring: ‘Yesteryear,' by Caro Claire Burke; ‘American Fantasy,' by Emma Straub; and ‘Enormous Wings,' by Laurie Frankel.See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy
