La Órbita de Endor hoy decide hacer un programa sobre un producto que nos ha sorprendido y gustado a pesar de que no venía con mucha fuerza de hype, por decirlo así, ni las redes lo han encumbrado apenas: CHACAL (The Day of the Jackal). La serie protagonizada por Eddie Redmayne es el plato fuerte de este monográfico, pero nos da la excelente oportunidad de hablar de la novela que lo originó todo, escrita por Frederick Forsyth en 1971 y que fue adaptada apenas dos años después en una película memorable dirigida por Fred Zinnermann. Por tanto, hablaremos del libro, hablaremos de la película clásica de 1973, estaremos un rato (lo que merezca) con la versión de 1997 con Bruce Willis y Richard Gere y, llegado el momento, detallaremos la primera temporada pormenorizadamente de la serie de 2024-2025 donde aplicaremos nuestra lógica de hablar tanto de sus pros como de sus contras. Hoy, junto a Abel Rodríguez y Antonio Runa, disfrazados para la ocasión, convierte tu maleta en un rifle y dispárale a alguien con este podcast directamente al oído.

For the 200th episode of Always Take Notes Simon and Rachel speak with the novelist Frederick Forsyth. He began his career in the Royal Air Force in 1956, before leaving to pursue journalism. Frederick worked for Reuters, the BBC, and as a freelancer; part of his early career was spent covering French affairs, including the attempted assassination of Charles de Gaulle. That provided the inspiration for "The Day of the Jackal", his first novel, which was published in 1971. Frederick's subsequent thrillers include "The Odessa File", "The Dogs of War," "The Fourth Protocol" and "The Fist of God", and he has sold over 70 million books worldwide. He also had extensive involvement with MI6 - the British overseas intelligence agency - starting in the 1960s. Many of Frederick's works have been adapted for the screen, including a new TV version of "The Day of the Jackal", which premiered in 2024. We spoke to Frederick about his career as a foreign correspondent, turning to fiction with "The Day of the Jackal", and his relationship with the intelligence services.  A new edition of “Always Take Notes: Advice From Some Of The World's Greatest Writers” - a book drawing on our podcast interviews - is available now. The updated version now includes insights from over 100 past guests on the podcast, with new contributions from Harlan Coben, Victoria Hislop, Lee Child, Megan Nolan, Jhumpa Lahiri, Philippa Gregory, Jo Nesbø, Paul Theroux, Hisham Matar and Bettany Hughes. You can order it via ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Amazon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Waterstones⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

This week our question comes from Alison McKeever. Recommendations: Catriona Who Killed Emma - BBC Scotland The naked body of a young woman is found in isolated woods. Police never catch her killer. Journalist Sam Poling's investigation takes her into a dark and unsettling world of sex, rape, lies and murder. And it leads her to confront the man she believes is the prime suspect. From BBC Scotland, Who Killed Emma? Is an eight-part podcast that forensically takes apart the police investigation into Emma's murder and unravels the impact of a series of coincidences and missed opportunities until a clear suspect starts to emerge. Angela Silo - Apple Tv Silo is the story of the last ten thousand people on earth, their mile-deep home protecting them from the toxic and deadly world outside. However, no one knows when or why the silo was built and those who try to find out face fatal consequences. Ferguson stars as Juliette, an engineer who seeks answers about a loved one's murder and tumbles onto a mystery that goes far deeper than she could have ever imagined, leading her to discover that if the lies don't kill you, the truth will. In addition to Ferguson, Silo season two stars new addition Steve Zahn, alongside returning stars Tim Robbins, Common, Harriet Walter, Chinaza Uche, Avi Nash, Alexandria Riley, Shane McRae, Remmie Milner, Clare Perkins, Billy Postlethwaite, Rick Gomez, Caitlin Zoz, Tanya Moodie and Iain Glen. Eamonn The Day of the Jackal - Book - Frederick Forsyth The Day of the Jackal - Now tv - Original Film The Day of The Jackal - Sky Tv Series The Day of the Jackal is a brand new thriller based on the classic 1971 book by Frederick Forsyth about a lone wolf and his global scale threat. The official synopsis, from Sky, reads: “An unrivalled and highly elusive lone assassin, the Jackal, makes his living carrying out hits for the highest fee. But following his latest kill, he meets his match in a tenacious British intelligence officer who starts to track down the Jackal in a thrilling cat-and-mouse chase across Europe, leaving destruction in its wake.” With a fresh twist on the source material, including the subsequent award-winning 1973 film from Universal Pictures, The Day of the Jackal promises a chase across the world as the hunter becomes the hunted.

Erfolg, Erfolg, Erfolg! Heute ist Bestseller/Blockbuster-Alarm bei Jan und Eric. Der True Crime-Podcast "Zeit Verbrechen" ist mit monatlich fünf Millionen Streams einer der erfolgreichsten Podcasts in Deutschland. Jetzt wurden vier Fälle zu einer Anthology-Serie bei RTL+. Die ist aber ganz anders, als man es erwarten würde. Danach steigen wir in die Geschichte des Schakals ein, die Thriller-Serie "The Day of the Jackal" (Sky), die in drei Jahrzehnten schon dreimal verfilmt wurde. Sie beruht auf dem Roman von Frederick Forsyth. Eric behauptet: eine der wichtigsten Buchvorlagen der Filmgeschichte. Warum? Danach "Turmschatten" (Sky). Ist Heiner Lauterbach die deutsche Senioren-Version von Quentin Tarantinos Bärenjuden aus "Inglorious Basterds"? "Turmschatten" ist die Verfilmung des gleichnamigen Polit-Thrillers von Peter Grandl. Ein Buch, aus dem mittlerweile wegen des großen Erfolges - und auch guter Kritiken - eine Reihe entstanden ist. Kino-Blockbuster goes HBO-Serie: "Dune: Prophecy" (Sky) ist das Prequel zu den "Dune"-Filmen mit Timothée Chalamet von Denis Villeneuve. Am Ende noch eine kleine Serie aus der ARD Mediathek. Darin geht um Donna, die im Kampf um Frauenrechte gern ein Blockbuster auf Social Media wäre. Wir reden über die Serie "Bad Influencer".

Die zehnteilige Serie "The Day of the Jackal" ist eine moderne Adaption des Romans von Frederick Forsyth aus dem Jahre 1971, die der düsteren Atmosphäre der Vorlage weitestgehend treu bleibt. Eddie Redmayne überzeugt in der Rolle des mysteriösen Auftragsmörders "Schakal" auf ganzer Linie. Der 42-Jährige verleiht seinem Part eine Tiefe, die sich von früheren Darstellungen unterscheidet. Sein Schauspiel ist elegant und subtil.Auch wenn die von Lashana Lynch verkörperte Gegenspielerin im Kontrast zu Redmaynes Charakter über weite Strecken blass bleibt und unnötig konstruiert wirkt, ist "The Day of the Jackal" - zu streamen bei Sky - für Fans des Genres und des Originals eine stimmungsvolle Inszenierung und absolut sehenswert.Eine ausführliche Kritik zu "The Day of the Jackal" von Ronny Rüsch und Axel Max - jetzt in einer neuen Folge des ntv-Podcasts "Oscars & Himbeeren". Außerdem dabei: die Agenten-Serie "Citadel: Honey Bunny", das Filmdrama "Ordinary Angels" sowie der Zombie-Film "Apokalypse Z: Der Anfang vom Ende".Unsere allgemeinen Datenschutzrichtlinien finden Sie unter https://datenschutz.ad-alliance.de/podcast.htmlUnsere allgemeinen Datenschutzrichtlinien finden Sie unter https://art19.com/privacy.

Justice Warrior Ben Clarkson returns to discuss the 1997 action thriller The Jackal, starring Bruce Willis, Richard Gere, and Sidney Poitier in his final film role. Ostensibly a remake of the the 1973 Fred Zinneman film The Day of the Jackal (itself an adaptation of Frederick Forsyth's 1971 debut novel of the same name), the film attempts to update the story of lethal methodology and intrigue to a contemporaneous post-Cold War, "End of History" milieu that sees a collaboration between US intelligence, Russian police, and a former IRA sniper to stop Bruce Willis's titular shapeshifting hitman from assassinating (spoilers) an analogue of Hillary Clinton. While there are some fun bells and whistles, and a heaping of Bruce Willis disguises, the movie ultimately represents diminishing returns on the promise of this type of movie, forsaking procedural thrills for something far more rote and predictable. We begin with an extended discussion of form and film language, why it's meaningful in the context of our current media landscape, and what an illiteracy toward formalism suggests about the way culture engages with everything we see via a screen. Then, we discuss the distinctions between Fred Zinneman's 1973 thriller and its 90s update: what it does well, and where it goes very, very wrong. Finally, we expound on the film's sociopolitcal moment, and what its moralizing of its most compelling character says about the broader cultural trends of nationalism in the mid-90s.Justice Warriors Vol. 2: Vote Harder is out now.

Happy Octoberween, dear listeners! In honor of the season, we bring you some spook-adjacent books for October's episodes. Today, our favorite guest Mary Parker is back with the sequel to The Phantom of the Opera musical - in book form! Although it was also turned into a musical, but remember this book is not the sequel to the original Phantom of the Opera book by Gaston Leroux...yeah. Musings and derailments in this episode include: the morning routine underneath the Opera Populaire, Paris transforms into Girl Boss Mammon, Mary becomes a Valley Girl Priest, and Chris plays God. In addition to our usual barnyard language, today's episode includes discussion or mention of ableism, accidents leading to physical disfigurement, guns, murder, and suicide.

Tom Fletcher's new book, "The Assassin," is creating waves and it's not just because of its gripping scenes; it's a novel that hits the zeitgeist with its daring exploration of climate change and the moral quandaries it poses for future generations. In this episode, we'll uncover the inspiration behind "The Assassin," a sequel that can stand alone yet continues the intriguing tale from "The Ambassador." We'll tackle everything from Tom's firsthand experiences in the heart of governmental intelligence to the ethical crossroads his protagonist, Ambassador Ed Barnes, faces. Tom gives us a glimpse into his writing process and why he's attracted praise from the likes of Frederick Forsyth and Andy McNabb for his authenticity and style.

The year is 1957. An RAF pilot is heading home from Germany for Christmas. Fog sets in and all radio communication is lost. As we have nearly every Christmas Eve since 1979, As it Happens presents a classic reading of Frederick Forsyth's The Shepherd by our late host "Fireside" Al Maitland.

In this interview with Leona Cobham, granddaughter of pioneering pilot and aviation advocate, Sir Alan Cobham, we talk about her wonderful middle grade book, Flying Circus Takes to the Skies, which features the adventures of four anthropomorphic vintage aircraft: Spiff, the Spitfire; Vul, the Vulcan; Tom, the Tomcat; and Woody, the Tiger Moth. Leona was inspired to write the book by her experience working with children and her concern over boys becoming ever-more reluctant readers. She created these characters in the hopes that boys would get excited about both reading and aviation history. Her next installment of Airplane Adventures will include a female Nighthawk.The story is well-complemented by line drawings from aviation artist Timothy O'Brien. https://www.timobrienart.co.uk/Leona's book is very thoughtfully available in two English versions - one with British spellings, and one with American, so be sure to select the one appropriate for your young reader. Affiliate links for both can be found on the Literary Aviatrix website:British: https://literaryaviatrix.com/product/aeroplane-adventures-flying-circus-takes-to-the-skies/American: https://literaryaviatrix.com/product/airplane-adventures-flying-circus-takes-to-the-skies/Toward the end of our interview,  we talk about Frederick Forsyth's The Shepherd, and the Canadian Broadcast Company's annual broadcast of a 1979 reading done by "Fireside Al" Maitland.

Readers looking for a quirky Cold War spy story will find much to enjoy in Like Dolphins, the latest spy thriller from Andy Onyx. In the latest installment of his Barbell spy book series, spy author Andy Onyx takes us on a journey through the world of Cold War spy fiction. With a cast of intriguing characters and a plot that delves deep into the world of espionage, this episode is a must-listen for fans of cold war espionage novels. 'Now in Like Dolphins it was to place my existing characters of BREAKSPEAR (Bradley) and KESTREL (Wallace) in the last knockings of the Cold War, right at the end, in a plot like no other. The tag lines “Withnail and Spy” and “ A Cold War Trainspotting” set the scene of late 80s culture, music, style, the end of football hooliganism, the rising rave scene. We're at a critical point in the Cold War with an ailing GDR behind the Wall further de-stabled by reforming winds of Glasnost and Perestroika coming from the senior partner, the USSR. Add to that action in the hedonistic capital of Europe, Amsterdam.' n this episode, we learn that the plot centers around a key football game between Monaco and Dynamo Berlin and that football hooliganism plays a key role in the story. The introduction of ecstasy changes the culture of violence surrounding this subculture and sets the tone for the action to follow. The cast of characters is explored in depth throughout the episode, with each one complementing one another and creating tension when in the other's presence. The protagonist, KESTREL is tasked with rehabilitating BREAKSPEAR, a previous partner who had a psychological issue and was out of action. The dynamic between the two former partners is fascinating to read, and adds an extra layer of intrigue to the story. As Andy Onyx reveals more about the plot but keeping spoilers to himself (this is the way on Spybrary), it becomes clear that loyalty will be tested, and betrayal is a constant risk. Andy Onyx also recommends some must-read books for Cold War spy fiction fans, including "The Outsider" by Frederick Forsyth and "The Fist of God" by the same author. Andy also reveals some of the books on East Germany that he used for researching East Germany. Onyx has also created an eclectic Spotify playlist featuring music relevant to the story. From "Ride On Time" to "Sympathy for the Devil," the music adds another dimension to the storytelling. Overall, Like Dophins is a quirky, intriguing, and informative exploration of Cold War spy fiction. Whether you're a die-hard fan of the spy genre or just looking for something new to read, Like Dolphins is well worth a read. So what are you waiting for? Tune in to the latest episode to find out how the story unfolds.

Frederick McCarthy Forsyth CBE is an English author and journalist. He was born on August 25, 1938.A former RAF pilot and investigative journalist, created the modern thriller when he wrote The Day of The JackalHe is best known for thrillers like The Day of the Jackal, The Odessa File, The Fourth Protocol, The Dogs of War, The Devil's Alternative, The Fist of God, Icon, The Veteran, Avenger, The Afghan, The Cobra, and The Kill List.Forsyth's books are often on lists of the best-selling books, and more than a dozen of them have been made into movies. By 2006, more than 70 million copies of his books had been sold in more than 30 languages.The Shepherd tells the story of a De Havilland Vampire pilot who is going home on Christmas Eve, 1957. On the way from RAF Celle in northern Germany to RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk, England, his plane loses all of its electricity. He gets lost in fog over the North Sea and is almost out of gas when he runs into a De Havilland Mosquito fighter-bomber that seems to have been sent up to "shepherd" him in.The main themes of the story are how he is guided to a safe landing and how he tries to find the pilot who saved him.Forsyth wrote this original piece as a Christmas present for his first wife Carrie, who had asked him to write her a ghost story. The story was written on Christmas Day, 1974, and came out around the same time the next year. The idea came to the author when he was trying to think of a setting that wasn't a haunted house and saw planes flying overhead. Many people have thought that the references were to old RAF stories. Even though Forsyth is a former RAF pilot and could have heard and changed such a story (whether on purpose or not), no references or personal stories have been given to back up such claims.Since 1979, the story has been told on the Canadian news show As It Happens on CBC Radio One. It is always read by Alan Maitland and is always on the last episode, which is always on or before Christmas Eve. As it Happens had a 50th anniversary special in 2018, and Carol Off, Michael Enright, and Tom Power read lines from The Shepherd to honour the tradition.On December 14, 2014, in London, at St. Clement Danes, the Central Church of the Royal Air Force, actor Nigel Anthony put on an original version of The Shepherd by Amber Barnfather, complete with music and sound effects. Frederick Forsyth opened the show, which raised money for the RAF Benevolent Fund. David Chilton was in charge of the sound, and the Saint Martin Singers sang a cappella pieces.John Travolta confirmed in 2022 that he is making a movie version of The Shepherd right now.Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens AudiobookIf you like my voice and want to support my work, get my narration of this Christmas Classic herehttps://theclassicghoststoriespodcast.bandcamp.com/album/a-christmas-carol-by-charles-dickensNew Patreon RequestBuzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!

Last week, I appeared on the podcast 'From Tailors With Love', talking about the 1987 movie 'The Fourth Protocol'. That film was adapted by Frederick Forsyth from his own novel after Michael Caine read it and loved it. I also appeared on 'The Bond Experience' on Youtube, talking about Queen Elizabeth II, King Charles III, and of course James Bond 007. Thank you to the many, many people who have engaged me in conversation there, and what a wonderful host 'The Bond Experience' proved to be!In this episode, I talk about Forsyth's career as a thriller writer, and suggest that he could be viewed as an 'Heir of Fleming'.  I don't talk about all his books, just the ones that stand out to me, and I read a section from The Fourth Protocol.

In the ninety-ninth episode we explore the Need for First Hand Accounts, starting with Trump claiming historians can't know whether a Civil War battle took place because they weren't there, and that Maggie Haberman has no way of knowing whether Trump clogged White House toilets with documents .In Mark's British Politics Corner we look at Sir Robert Goodwill MP's claim that the fact he hasn't personally been made aware of a specific person who died because Boris had parties during the lockdown, it's all fine. We also hear Rachel Johnson's views on lazy work-from-homers and Femi Oluwole pointing out that Boris doesn't have the expertise to dismiss the Government's economists. In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from Ken Ham, This is Spinal Tap, Dana White and Frederick Forsyth.Jim and Mark go head to head in Fake News, the game in which Mark has to guess which one of three Trump quotes Jim made upThen we talk about Tucker Carlson's meltdown over the Biden Administration's plan to crack down on misinformation.And finally, we round up some of the other crazy Trump stories from the past week.The full show notes for this episode can be found at https://fallacioustrump.com/ft99 You can contact the guys at pod@fallacioustrump.com, on Twitter @FallaciousTrump, or facebook at facebook.com/groups/fallacioustrumpSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/fallacious-trump/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Esta gran superpotencia zozobra en un mar de hiperinflación, caos económico y criminalidad. Las elecciones se aproximan y una sola voz carismática resuena en todo el país. Igor Komárov, líder derechista, promete reformar la moneda, acabar con el crimen, eliminar la corrupción y devolver la gloria a Rusia. Pero los dirigentes occidentales se ven conmocionados cuando llega a sus manos un documento secreto del que se desprende que Komárov no es el salvador de la nación sino un nuevo Hitler. Oficialmente, Occidente no puede hacer nada, pero un grupo de prohombres angloamericanos decide no quedarse impasibles viendo cómo la historia se repite...© 2022, Penguin Random House Grupo Editorial, S.

We're a bit outside my comfort zone with the book this week, but certainly not with our guest. My dad, Praseed Thapparambil, decided to admit that he's well-read after all and shared his favorite books on the show. This book, NO COMEBACKS by Frederick Forsyth, is a collection of short stories with thriller plots and twist endings. This book was written with entertainment in mind, but led to great discussion on characterization, racist depictions, when info-dumping works and doesn't work, and so much more. Dad shares his evolution as a reader, his love for short stories, and the audio recordings of Tamil stories he does on his own podcast, RadioPras. More than anything, we have a good time. Check it out! Also, if you want to hear code-switching in action, my accent flows and shifts depending on topic and how directly I'm speaking to my dad. Something I've done my whole life and it always amuses me to hear it in person.
