Amir Moosavi discusses the profound impact of the Iran-Iraq War – the longest two-state war of the 20th century – on the literature of both nations. Through his book "Dust That Never Settles: Literary Afterlives of the Iran-Iraq War," he explores in this conversation the official state-sanctioned narratives that emerged during and after the war, comparing them with the more nuanced, critical, and often experimental literary responses from writers in Iraq and Iran, including those in the diaspora. The conversation also highlights how these diverse literary works grapple with the war's legacy, from its human and environmental costs to its enduring presence in collective memory. 0:00 The Enduring Legacy of the Iran-Iraq War1:03 Introducing Amir Moosavi's Book3:39 A Historical Primer on the Iran-Iraq War7:16 Shifting Narratives: Qadisiyyat Saddam and Operation Karbala11:49 Bridging Arabic and Persian Literary Worlds15:51 Understanding State Literature and Propaganda20:11 Examples of State Literature and Narrative Shifts29:36 Post-War Writers: Challenging Official Narratives35:26 Warfront Depictions and the Quest for Truth38:31 Artistic Communities and Collective Memory40:41 The Meaning Behind "Dust That Never Settles"43:18 Ecological Damage in War Literature48:22 Misconceptions and Nuances in War Literature50:39 Diaspora Authors and Freedom of Expression Amir Moosavi is an assistant Professor in the Department of English at Rutgers University- Newark.

The gifted London DJ and curator goes big on bass futurism. "To pull a thread." This old English adage means to follow a small detail that might unravel into something larger and more significant. It's also the inspiration behind London artist mi-el's NTS Radio show, and a neat way of understanding her approach as a DJ. Take mi-el's rich archive of mixes. From NTS to The Trilogy Tapes, they show her to be a deeply personal selector and curator, pushing past functionality into something more expressive, narrative and often political. A show about Refugee Week? Afrofuturist world-making? Interlocking systems of domination? All material is putty in her hands. Now based in Berlin, mi-el is simply a wicked club DJ. In just a few years she's played Panorama Bar, De School and FOLD, as well as festivals including Waking Life, Terraforma and Field Maneuvers. Alongside peers and predecessors like Josey Rebelle, she represents a new generation of Black British artists reinventing the wheel, and as we mark the beginning of UK Black History Month, no other candidate felt more fitting. RA.1007 shows why. The 55-minute session is a deft balancing act of depth and playfulness, humour and heaviness, rooted in club intensity and the futurism of the UK hardcore continuum. It's firm confirmation that, in mi-el's hands, the art of the DJ mix is alive and well. @miellllllll Find the tracklist and interview at ra.co/podcast/1026

En première partie, nous voici en Ukraine aujourd'hui. C'est la guerre ouverte, violente, guerre de conquête à coups de chars, de drones, de missiles depuis plus de 3 ans et demi. Donetsk perdue, Kramatorsk est devenue de fait la capitale du Donbass ukrainien, elle voit le front se rapprocher. À vol d'oiseau, il est à une quinzaine de kilomètres et la ville elle-même est régulièrement bombardée. Face aux grignotages incessants du territoire par les forces russes, cette question est de plus en plus prégnante pour les Ukrainiens. Partir ou rester ? La Russie contrôle plus de 70% de la région de Donetsk et la quasi-totalité de celle de Louhansk, elle veut aller plus loin, de gré ou de force. Une perspective redoutée, mais espérée également par certains... En seconde partie d'émission, la réunification allemande, 35 ans après, que reste-t-il de la RDA, l'Allemagne de l'Est, un reportage de Nathalie Versieux.  Est de l'Ukraine, lâcher du terrain ou combattre jusqu'au bout ? Plus de trois ans et demi après la percée des chars russes et 11 ans après le début du conflit, Kramatorsk, devenue de fait la capitale du Donbass ukrainien, voit le front se rapprocher. Les premiers combats sont à une quinzaine de km à vol d'oiseau et la ville elle-même est régulièrement bombardée. Partir ou rester ? La question se fait de plus en plus pressante pour de nombreux habitants de la partie du Donbass sous contrôle ukrainien. À mesure que le front se rapproche, et avec lui, les destructions, des centaines de personnes sont obligées de prendre la route de l'exil.  La Russie contrôle plus de 70% de la région de Donetsk et la quasi-totalité de celle de Louhansk. Elle cherche à s'emparer de la totalité de ce territoire par la force ou la négociation. Une perspective terriblement redoutée mais espérée aussi par certains, alors que les conditions de vie se dégradent chaque jour un peu plus. Un Grand reportage d'Anastasia Becchio et Julien Boileau qui s'entretiennent avec Jacques Allix. Réunification allemande: 35 ans plus tard, que reste-t-il de la RDA? 3 octobre 1990. L'Allemagne divisée depuis 1949 est désormais réunifiée, un peu moins d'un an après l'ouverture du Mur de Berlin en novembre 1989. Fin de 40 ans de partition du pays. 35 ans plus tard, que reste-t-il de l'ex-RDA ? À Berlin, des quantités de traces ont disparu, notamment de nombreux symboles politiques du régime. En province, le passé est-allemand est souvent plus visible. Aujourd'hui, une nouvelle génération semble redécouvrir la valeur architecturale et artistique de la RDA. Mais le débat reste vivace. L'ouest de l'Allemagne ne cède rien de son rejet du communisme. Et l'est du pays dénonce une forme de colonialisation par ses colocataires de l'Ouest. Un Grand reportage de Nathalie Versieux qui s'entretient avec Jacques Allix.

In this special hands-on episode, Corey Noles and Grant Harvey dive into OpenAI's Sora 2 - the AI video platform that's part TikTok, part meme generator, and 100% chaos. Watch as they navigate the new social media-style interface, create ridiculous videos featuring Sam Altman at a Berlin techno rave filled with clowns, and discover why Sam has become the "Tom from MySpace" of AI-generated content.The hosts explore Sora 2's key features including the viral "cameo" system that lets you loan your likeness to other creators, the remix functionality, and the surprisingly robust prompt editing capabilities. They demonstrate the platform's strengths (incredibly fast generation, social features, creative possibilities) and weaknesses (no timeline editor for scrubbing through footage, occasional voice mismatches, server delays during peak times).Key takeaways include practical prompting tips for better results, how to set up and optimize your cameo preferences, and why being descriptive in your prompts makes all the difference. Grant and Corey also discuss the broader implications: Is this OpenAI's answer to TikTok? How does this fit into the AI landscape where every major player now has a social platform? And most importantly - why is everyone making Sam Altman breakdance?Whether you're AI-curious or a seasoned prompt engineer, you'll learn how to navigate Sora 2's interface, avoid common pitfalls, and maybe even create your own viral AI video. Plus, find out why Corey's "realistic physique was not okay on Sora" and had to optimize his cameo settings with ChatGPT's help.➤ CHAPTERSTimecode - Chapter Title0:00 - Introduction: What is Sora 21:03 - Sam Altman is the Tom from MySpace of AI1:57 - Mobile App Tour & Social Features3:42 - Remix Feature: Editing Sam's Bedtime4:12 - The Secret to Better Prompting6:40 - Profile Features & Your Drafts8:44 - Understanding Cameos10:40 - How to Set Up Your Cameo13:00 - Optimizing Cameo Preferences with ChatGPT15:05 - Live Demo of Creating A Video18:25 - Using the Edit Feature20:09 - First Video Results23:32 - Fixing a Bad Video26:49 - Finding & Following People30:33 - Exploring Trending Videos32:50 - Why OpenAI Built a Social Platform35:34 - Training Data Implications38:00 - Voice Input and Pro Prompting Tips40:02 - The First AI-Native Social Media45:43 - Final ThoughtResources: - Sora 2 launch: https://openai.com/index/sora-2/- Download the app https://apps.apple.com/us/app/sora-by-openai/id6744034028- Sora app on the web: https://sora.chatgpt.com/exploreP.S: First comment gets an invite code.

“Seishin” is a focused, four-track EP from Fukushima-born, Berlin-based producer Shingo Suwa on Acid Camp. The title translates to “spirit,” and the record treats that idea as both a feeling and a relay: an original transmission from a time of quarantined isolation followed by responses from trusted collaborators. Clay Wilson contributes two versions: one a deep, tensile workout and the other a companion take sparked by the legacy of Jasen Loveland (1980–2021). Jasen Loveland also worked on a remix of his own in 2021. “Seishin” is not only about losing yourself—it is also about the resonance of spirit and memory, passed across friends, to find yourself again. “Seishin” arrives as a 12” EP in an edition of 100 on white/clear marble and 200 on black vinyl. The digital release includes a bonus remix from Remote Perception, another alias of Jasen Loveland.

What makes this bizarre story so deeply disturbing, even today? And how does Hoffmann's genius, in all of his writing, continue to shape the way we think about the unfamiliar, and the blurry line between human and machine?

Poem: Do Not MockAuthor: TJ EsubiyiGuest poet: Michele Battistioli (No Story Lies)Bio:Michele Battistioli,artist name No Story Lies, is a storyteller and author active in Berlin. His goal is to make the world a better place, word by word. He is currently involved in various poetry, workshops, music, and game projects as writer and performer, always looking for the next story to tell.

By January 1945, the war in Europe neared its final phase. In the west, the Allies had repelled the Ardennes offensive. In the east, the Red Army prepared the Vistula–Oder offensive, a huge strike that pushed German forces out of Poland. The Soviet advance carried them to the very gates of Berlin. The Vistula–Oder offensive in 1945 liberated vast areas, including Auschwitz. It also created the springboard for the final assault on Germany. Stalin wanted more than battlefield victory. He pushed Soviet borders west, reclaimed imperial lands, and shaped Poland's fate before the war ended. The Wehrmacht resisted fiercely. German forces launched a desperate counterattack, their last major armoured offensive on the Eastern Front. In this episode of the WW2 Podcast, I talk with Prit Buttar, author of Into the Reich: The Red Army's Advance to the Oder in 1945.   patreon.com/ww2podcast

Welcome back to another EUVC Podcast, where we gather Europe's venture family to share the stories, insights, and lessons that drive our ecosystem forward.Today, we dive into the announcement of Ventech's Fund VI, which has closed at €175M — the firm's largest fund yet, with an impressive 95% LP re-up rate. To unpack it all, Andreas Munk Holm sits down with Stephan Wirries, General Partner at Ventech. From AI and industrial software to European sovereignty and late-stage capital markets, Stephan shares how Ventech is positioning itself for the next decade — and why Europe still has structural gaps to fix if it wants to scale globally.

Vorbei ist die Zeit, als Kriege in der Welt von einer Mehrheit in Deutschland ignoriert werden konnten. Als gegen Krieg oder pazifistisch zu sein, als moralische Verpflichtung galt. Lange währte die innere Friedenszeit, doch hat sich dieser gesellschaftliche Zustand seit Beginn des Ukrainekriegs mit den Aufrüstungsplänen in Brüssel und Berlin verändert. Nach der Zeitenwende kam die „Kriegstüchtigkeit“. So lautet das politische Postulat. Militärische Werte suchen und finden einen Platz in unserer Gesellschaft. Die Militarisierung zeigt sich in der Sprache, Politik und Präsenz der Bundeswehr. Dabei verändern mediale Erzählungen und politische Entscheidungen das Massenbewusstsein und die Debatte um die geplante, freiwillige Wehrpflicht, die Unterstützung durch die Waffenlieferungen an die Ukraine und Israel spiegeln den Kulturwandel. Aber wie verändert sich eine Gesellschaft, die sich an militärische Bedürfnisse gewöhnt? Und welche Gefahren drohen, wenn eine Militarisierung nicht kritisch begleitet wird? Darüber sprechen der Journalist Christian Schweppe, die Sicherheitsexpertin Ulrike Franke, der Journalist Thomas Wiegold und die Expertin für feministische Sicherheitspolitik Miriam Mona Mukalazi. Podcast-Tipp: Deutschlandfunk - Der Rest ist Geschichte Krieg und Frieden - Was nutzt Pazifismus? Wenn die Gegenseite Krieg will, hilft Friedensliebe wenig. Pazifisten gelten heute als Träumer, Populisten oder Putin-Versteher. Tatsächlich hatte die Friedensbewegung ihre beste Zeit, als der Krieg weit weg war. Wirkungslos war sie deshalb nicht. https://www.ardaudiothek.de/episode/urn:ard:episode:da3fd6c0b25a152b/

Eine spannende Woche liegt hinter den beiden Schwestern. Sie haben ein Konzert gespielt, eine spektakuläre Hundeshow gesehen und dann hat auch noch Ninas Stuhl freundlich gegrüßt. Wahnsinn.

In the penultimate episode of The Rumor Mill, Joe and Nathan dive headfirst into one of the season's most unexpected storylines: when the host himself becomes the news. What starts as a recap of a listener's feedback spirals into a candid discussion about paraphrasing, cultural nuance, and the perils of being quoted back to yourself. The conversation covers: A fair-and-balanced “news report” about Joe's back-and-forth with a listener from Berlin. Audio receipts, transcripts, and the hazards of context (or the lack thereof). The return of familiar voices on the voicemail line—including a Scottish tongue-twister, Brendan's zombie cameo, and a passionate plea for the comeback of Mr. Blackstone. Tom from Ireland pitches a brand-new Afterthought Media spinoff idea, sparking a debate about psychology, drag queens, and how deep is too deep. With just one week left before the finale, Joe and Nathan reflect on spats with listeners, conspiracies involving Blackstone, and whether Stefan himself might be orchestrating it all from behind the scenes.

3 octobre 1990. L'Allemagne divisée depuis 1949 est désormais réunifiée, un peu moins d'un an après l'ouverture du Mur de Berlin en novembre 1989. Fin de 40 ans de partition du pays. 35 ans plus tard, que reste-t-il de l'ex-RDA ? À Berlin, des quantités de traces ont disparu, notamment de nombreux symboles politiques du régime. En province, le passé est-allemand est souvent plus visible. Aujourd'hui, une nouvelle génération semble redécouvrir la valeur architecturale et artistique de la RDA. Mais le débat reste vivace. L'ouest de l'Allemagne ne cède rien de son rejet du communisme. Et l'est du pays dénonce une forme de colonialisation par ses colocataires de l'Ouest. «Réunification allemande: 35 ans plus tard, que reste-t-il de la RDA ?», un Grand reportage de Nathalie Versieux.

In this episode of Explaining History, we delve into the intricate web of diplomacy, ambition, and betrayal that led the Ottoman Empire into the Great War. Drawing from Eugene Rogan's "The Fall of the Ottomans," we explore the Empire's precarious position in the years before 1914, caught between the competing interests of Europe's great powers.Discover Germany's strategic "Weltpolitik," which saw the Ottomans as a key partner to challenge British and Russian dominance, leading to ambitious projects like the Berlin-to-Baghdad railway and the controversial appointment of a German military mission to modernize the Ottoman army. We'll unpack the diplomatic crisis that this provoked with Russia, which viewed Istanbul and the Straits as its own sphere of influence.As the clouds of war gathered over Europe in the summer of 1914, the Ottoman leadership desperately sought a powerful ally to protect its vulnerable territory. We'll follow the fascinating, and ultimately failed, attempts to forge an alliance with Britain and France. Learn about the final act of betrayal—Britain's seizure of two newly built Ottoman dreadnoughts—that served as a national humiliation and pushed the wavering Empire into a secret alliance with Germany, a decision that would seal its fate and reshape the Middle East forever.Go Deeper: Visit our website at www.explaininghistory.org for articles and detailed explorations of the topics discussed.▸ Join the Conversation: Our community of history enthusiasts discusses episodes, shares ideas, and continues the conversation.

Tourpreneur hosts Mitch Bach and Peter Syme come to you live from Berlin! They attended GetYourGuide's Unlocked conference, where over 300 of their tour, activity, and attraction partners gathered from around the world to have a day-long discussion that will shape the future of the platform, and our industry in part. (Last year's supplier discussions focused on the need for curation, leading directly to a major shift in the platform's direction.)Peter and Mitch spent most of the day speaking with tour operators there, but when end-of-day drinks happened, GetYourGuide's COO Tao Tao said "let's grab some beers and go have a chat!" And we couldn't resist the chance to pepper him with questions.In an age of carefully scripted, PR-focused corporate conversations, we appreciated Tao's candor and willingness to answer everything we threw at him. Our questions were a little wacky, a little philosophical and extremely eclectic. But he didn't shy away from anything. And the result really exposes GetYourGuide's vision (and bet) for how an experiences marketplace should look in 2025 and beyond.This conversation is wide-ranging to say the least, and a good follow-up after our podcast in January (which is also a must-listen).In this episode we cover a lot of terrain:Mitch gets a little wacky with social commentary: Are reviews actually good for our industry? Are we all better off experiencing travel through serendipity and wandering, rather than organized, booked experiences?Pete notices an end-of-day discussion on "moods" and asked Tao whether GetYourGuide should be developing mood and feeling filters!Tao shares why they created a conference to show up for their suppliers, even when there's tough love in the room.We ask how, 9 months later, the shift to a more curated marketplace is progressing. Are we nearing the end of the process, or just the beginning?We veer into a strange conversation around which movie or TV show best describes the current OTA situation, and how GetYourGuide thinks about what they're doing as an organization that partially sets the tone for what tours & activities are.Tao shares how in the age of AI, product differentiation and curation will only get more important.We all agree our industry needs to grow the pie. But how? In what direction?New AI reviews and filters point to a future possibility where the right tour is surfaced in a more personalized way, and quality is assessed beyond star ratings.Finally, we get Tao's advice for new businesses and how they should position themselves in the industry and the platform for best success.And GetYourGuide is a sponsor of TourWeek 2025, our global conference with 400 tour & activity industry players coming to Charleston, SC for more meaty, frothy conversations!More show notes and resources on tourpreneur.com

Three hours of incendiary techno, as two veterans go head-to-head. When Speedy J described his studio dynamic with Chris Liebing back in 2014, he put it bluntly: "I try to piss him off a little." The result? Dance music that's as functional and precise as Liebing demands, with just enough chaos to keep it interesting. That tension has defined the duo's partnership, Collabs 3000, since their first releases, and it's alive and well on their debut RA Mix. Both artists are techno heavyweights in their own right. Jochem Paap, AKA Speedy J, helped Europe slow down after the breakneck '90s, proving that techno could chug as well as pummel. Liebing, meanwhile, commanded his popular label CLR and went from transforming schranz into the hard techno sound that recently swept up a younger generation of ravers. As a pair, Collabs 3000 undeniably has its ear trained on the big room. Paap and Liebing are both former Berghain regulars, and the Berlin club's influence is clear across RA.1006: taut, muscular techno, or "effective and structured" in Liebing's words, with Paap injecting the right amount of unpredictability. Their 2005 full-length, Metalism
