Podcast appearances and mentions of George Orwell

¿Qué tienen en común un platillo hecho con desprecio colonial, una ciudad flotante que alimentó imperios, un comediante que creó un universo con solo dos letras y una novela donde el futuro es una bota que nunca deja de pisar? ¿Qué nos dice la birria sobre la transformación del insulto en orgullo? ¿Cómo Xochimilco pasó de chinampa agrícola a patrimonio cultural? ¿Y por qué la novela de George Orwell 1984 sigue hablándonos en pleno 2025? En este capítulo hablamos de: La birria: del chivo despreciado al taco glorificado, Chespirito: la CH más poderosa del continente, 1984: vigilancia, lenguaje y doblepensar, De consomé, trajineras, vecindades y totalitarismos, Cómo la cultura popular es más seria de lo que parece, Y más datos picantes, nostálgicos y perturbadores… en el Banquete del Doctor Zagal.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This is the first installment of our series of episodes on the films of Val Kilmer. In accordance with Mr. Kilmer's final wishes, we are calling the series Valapalooza.In the wake of World War II, George Orwell wrote a searing novel of government repression and propaganda called Nineteen Eighty Four, in which the ideological polarity of the post-war order was satirized and refigured as a world of constant surveillance and terrible entertainment. Orwell was spot-on in some of his predictions - but crucially, he failed to predict 1984's Top Secret!What would Orwell have said if he had lived to watch this madcap comedy packed chockablock with sight gags and Cold War larks? Probably that it was occasionally inspired but largely silly and not particularly memorable, save a few set pieces and a wonderful performance from Val Kilmer. One can picture him turning to a stranger in a darkened cinema to say “that Kilmer fellow, he brings a surprising grace and physicality to the role. He really carries this film. This is a man who would have smirked at Big Brother and danced his way out of the Ministry of Truth.”Anyway, why don't you give a listen to Adam and Aidan's discussion of Top Secret!? We do not mention George Orwell.

Aaron Dunn joins Mike to update some of his previous stock picks (tell me you bought Microsoft when he told us to in 2020!), as well as some brand new ideas on the riskier end of the spectrum. Victor Adair is making money at the Trading Desk in the dog days of summer, a George Orwell quote perfect for 2026, and Mike wonders if Carney voters are happy with the results so far.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, the 2020 U.S. Census contained significant errors, overcounting populations in blue states, while undercounting in red states leading to misallocated congressional seats that favored Democrats and cost Republicans about five seats. This widened Trump's Electoral College victory margin and tightened House control more than warranted. In response, Texas Republicans are holding a special legislative session to redraw congressional districts, potentially gaining up to five more GOP seats in the 2026 midterms. The move echoes a 2003 gerrymander, with Democrats decrying it as hypocritical given their own history of similar tactics in blue states, but it's necessary since Democrats don't play fair. Also, a two-state solution for Israel and Palestine would carve up Israel's indigenous lands and holy sites to create a terrorist state aimed at destroying Israel. Arab nations reject Palestinians while forcing concessions on Israel. Imagine what would have happened if President Trump wasn't President – the destruction of Israel by terrorists, Marxists, European quislings, the UN, and anti-Semitic elements worldwide, including in the Democrat Party, media, academia, podcasters, influencers, and isolationists. Later, death penalty practices in red states are superior to those in blue states, as the executions of these monstrous criminals are warranted. Afterward, On Power explains that history is filled with tyrants seizing power under the guise of liberty, such as in Marxist regimes where promises of liberation through class warfare and collectivism lead to genocidal police states. Abraham Lincoln highlighted how "liberty" means different things to different people—individual freedom for some, exploitation of others for the rest—resulting in incompatible concepts labeled as liberty and tyranny. Similarly, "democracy," loosely defined as non-autocratic government, is misused by the power-hungry to deceive, as George Orwell noted in Politics and the English Language, where political words are perverted dishonestly, and regimes claim to be democratic for praise while fearing a fixed definition. Finally, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin calls in to announce a proposal to rescind the 2009 Obama-era Endangerment Finding. This finding declared that greenhouse gas emissions pose a danger to public health and welfare, enabling extensive regulations such as the Clean Power Plan and costing over $1 trillion in compliance.  The proposed rescission aims to eliminate burdensome rules, saving small businesses at least $170 billion and reducing regulatory overreach on emissions standards for vehicles and power plants.

Asset Management can be explained as a systematic process of planning, operating, maintaining, upgrading and replacing assets cost-effectively with minimum risk and at the expected levels of service over the assets' life cycle. One sector where effective asset management can make a huge difference is public transportation, with organisations having to keep track of an exhaustive list of costly vehicles and infrastructure. Long time listeners may recall a previous episode where we interviewed the train operator, Greater Anglia, after they successfully achieved ISO 55001, the best practice standard for asset management. Now 3 years on, they've been recently recertified and have learned a lot since their initial certification. In this episode, Andrew Barnes, Head of Asset Management at Greater Anglia, joins Ian Battersby to discuss how they currently manage their ISO 55001 certification, what they've learned in the past 3 years since certification and the benefits of effective asset management.   You'll learn ·      Who is Andrew Barnes? ·      Who are Greater Anglia? ·      How do Greater Anglia manage their ISO 55001 certification? ·      What lessons have been learned since their initial certification? ·      What are the main benefits of ISO 55001? ·      Andrew's top tip for ISO Implementation     Resources ·      Isologyhub ·      Greater Anglia ·      ISO Support Plan   In this episode, we talk about: [02:05] Episode Summary – Ian Battersby is joined by Andrew Barnes, Head of Asset Management at Greater Anglia, to discuss their experience with being certified to ISO 55001 for the past 3 years, explaining the lessons learned and benefits gained.    [03:25] Who is Andrew Barnes? Andy is currently the Head of Asset Management at Greater Anglia. A fun fact that not many people know about him is that he was part of the Lord Mayor's Show in the 80's, though he had a bit of a wardrobe malfunction that ended with him getting a stern talking to! Andy has been working in the railways since 1985, starting as an apprentice with British Rail. [05:15] Who are Greater Anglia? Greater Anglia are a train operator who took over from National Express, East Anglia back in 2012. They serve the Anglia region from Liverpool Street Station, and are unusual among railway companies in that they are under a full repairing and insuring lease. This differs from most who have station access conditions, where the responsibility for maintenance and repair is split between Network Rail and the train operator. They currently operate 134 stations, with 2 more under construction which are Burley Park (due to open in October 2025) and Cambridge South (opening in early 2026). In addition to the stations, they also own 7 depots for train stabling and maintenance. So in short, a lot of assets to keep track of! [07:40] Extra asset requirements – They are also now challenged on cleanliness at train stations. This involves mystery shoppers visiting stations and marking them against certain criteria to give a score, which Greater Anglia tend to score quite highly. They also have to inspect all of their assets on a conditioned surveying scheme, the scores of which need to be communicated to Network Rail. [09:00] Andy's role as Head of Asset Management – Andy is relatively new to this role, becoming the Head of Asset Management in April 2025. He has a team of asset inspectors that conduct the condition surveys internally. He's also responsible for the Engineer Insurance Team, part of their role is to determine the technical aspects of large schemes that require focused designs. [10:05] How do Greater Anglia manage their ISO certifications? – In addition to ISO 55001, Greater Anglia also hold ISO 9001 and a number of standards specific to engineering. They have benefitted from 3rd party support in the form of utilising Blackmores consultancy to help gain certification and aid with on-going support for internal audits. Their processes and procedures are all managed by their Project Management Team, who conduct regular reviews against ISO requirements to ensure they stay relevant and in alignment with best practice. They also have a strategic asset management plan, risk register and continuous improvement plans in place to address various elements of both asset management and general quality management. Like with most ISO Standards, there's a lot of crossover in the requirements, so elements of each certification can easily be integrated and used to bolster an existing management system. [11:15] The benefit of a maturing management system – Andy is quite keen on learning from their maturing management system. Through effective implementation, you can look back and see what's working well and where improvements can be made. Having a certain level of management system maturity enables you to make more informed continual improvement decisions. [13:20] A structured approach – Prior to ISO 55001 certification, they were still doing everything that was required of them to maintain assets simply because that was the right thing to do. What they lacked was the structured processes and procedures to support that hard work. It wasn't as planned and more of a reactionary approach to asset management. Andy appreciates the clearly defined lines, processes and ability to learn from their mistakes as a result of ISO 55001 implementation. It simply helped provide a more consistent and collaborative base for effective asset management. [14:25] Other benefits from ISO 55001 certification:- Improved efficiency: New and improved processes helped to manage both their time and internal resource. They eliminated unnecessary meetings, and consolidated key discussion points for their regular meet-ups to ensure important updates were prioritised. Risk Mitigation: They now have a structured approach to learning from past mistakes. This is managed via a Lessons Learned Database, which collates the answers to specific questions that get asked after project completion. They make sure to include contractor input so all parties involved feel the benefits. Recently, they've also been granted access to Network Rail's Lesson's Learned database, so they will benefit from an even wider knowledge base for future projects. Consistent approach: Their current management system ensures that everyone is following the same policies, processes and procedures. People know what their responsibilities are, who to communicate what to and how they can help contribute to improvement efforts. Continual Improvement culture shift: The management system doesn't require everyone to know everything from the get-go. It encourages a culture of learning with the goal of continual improvement, so people aren't afraid of suggesting actions for innovation.   [19:45] Lessons learned: Not just from mistakes – Ultimately, from an asset management point of view, Greater Anglia want to maintain or renew an asset as functional and preserve it for as long as possible. They need to intervene as quickly and as efficiently as possible to minimise the impact to people using it. Minimising the time on site with things like modular construction and hauling large equipment are things we've done due to lessons learned from other projects. These were positive changes that we've taken on not due to mistakes but simply from trying different things. A lesson learned doesn't have to result from a mistake. It's about learning from both risks and opportunities. [21:20] Top ISO Implementation tips from Andy – Do your homework: Have a good understanding of your Management System and take your time to weave it into your day-to-day activities. A helping hand: Make use of an ISO champion, whether that's someone internal with ISO knowledge or a 3rd party dedicated ISO consultancy (such as Blackmores) to help you break down an ISO Standard into something you can understand and apply to your way of working. Recording evidence: Don't just talk the talk, walk the walk! Once a process or procedure is documented, follow it, and record evidence of this. Same goes for any actions for improvement that are raised, don't just let it sit there, action it. [23:45] Andy's take away from ISO 55001 management – Andy is surprised by how attuned their business is to the Standard. The Standard speak may seem obtuse or vague, but its adaptability is it's greatest strength. You have the flexibility to apply it in a way that works for your business. [25:15] Andy's book recommendations – 1984 by George Orwell and Adolf Hitler: My part in his downfall by Spike Milligan. [26:35] Andy's favorite quote – ‘By Failing to prepare, you're preparing to fail' – Benjamin Franklin If you'd like to learn more about Greater Anglia, check out their Website and Linkedin.

Dans son dernier livre, l'essayiste, observateur critique et amusé de son époque s'interroge avec pertinence sur le rôle des intellectuels et surtout sur leur lucidité. Il est l'invité de Pierre-Édouard Deldique dans un numéro estival du magazine IDÉES. Samuel Fitoussi est un essayiste français, diplômé de HEC et de l'Université de Cambridge, qui s'est imposé comme une voix singulière dans le paysage intellectuel contemporain. Chroniqueur au Figaro, il s'est fait remarquer par son ton incisif et son goût pour la controverse argumentée. Il est, sans nul doute, un des meilleurs observateurs du monde des idées en France aujourd'hui. Après Woke Fiction (2023), où il dénonçait l'influence de l'idéologie de la diversité dans les œuvres culturelles, il revient en 2025 avec un essai percutant : Pourquoi les intellectuels se trompent (Éditions de l'Observatoire) qui est au cœur de notre conversation cette semaine. Dans ce livre, Samuel Fitoussi explore les raisons pour lesquelles les intellectuels, malgré leur intelligence, adhèrent parfois à des idées absurdes ou nuisibles. Nourri par les pensées de George Orwell, Raymond Aron ou Jean-François Revel, il s'appuie sur des études en psychologie cognitive pour démontrer que l'intelligence ne protège pas de l'erreur — elle peut même y prédisposer.

Was George Orwell the socialist hero we thought he was? Spoiler: absolutely not. Juliet Corbett joins me to discuss Wifedom by Anna Funder, which reveals shocking truths about Orwell's treatment of his first wife, Eileen O'Shaughnessy. Turns out Eileen was crucial to his best work but has been systematically written out of his story by biographers. We dig into the disturbing details of Orwell's behaviour - from putting Eileen's life at risk to his predatory conduct with women.  The book structure itself is also fascinating - blending biography with memoir + showing how Orwell's biographers colluded in erasing Eileen. Plus, it's a superb look at the gap between what he preached about equality + how he actually lived. Fair warning: your opinion of Orwell might never recover. Look for more Book Huddle episodes.

Biografia, opere principali e pensiero dello scrittore inglese George Orwell, autore dei romanzi 1984 e La fattoria degli animali.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for July 24, 2025 is: panacea • pan-uh-SEE-uh • noun A panacea is something that is regarded as a cure-all—that is, something that will make everything about a situation better. // The new program should help with the city's housing crisis, but it's no panacea. See the entry > Examples: “It was a mistake to regard and romanticize information as a panacea for the world's problems. For they are completely different things: information, knowledge and wisdom. Every day we are bombarded with thousands of snippets of information, but there is very little knowledge, and no time to slow down to gain knowledge, much less wisdom.” — Elif Shafak, 1984: 75th Anniversary Edition by George Orwell, 2024 Did you know? The maxim “an apple a day keeps the doctor away” isn't true, but belief in a miraculous botanical “cure for whatever ails ya” has existed for millennia and is at the root of the word panacea. In current use, panacea most often refers to a remedy—medical or otherwise—that inevitably falls far short of what some claim or hope it can do, but the word's Latin and Greek forebears referred to plants with legit healing properties, including mints and yarrows. Both the Latin word panacēa and its Greek antecedent panákeia (from the word panakēs, meaning “all-healing”) were applied especially to flowering herbs (genus Opopanax) of the carrot family used to treat various ailments.

“In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” George Orwell

“Cada linha de trabalho que escrevi foi escrita, direta ou indiretamente, contra o totalitarismo”. É comum encontrarmos essa citação de George Orwell por aí. Porém, com frequência a segunda parte da frase é omitida. O britânico escreveu, sim, para combater o totalitarismo. Mas não só. O olhar para a própria obra está no ensaio “Por que escrevo”, de 1946. E a citação completa é essa: “Cada linha de trabalho sério que escrevi desde 1936 foi escrita, direta ou indiretamente, contra o totalitarismo e em prol do socialismo democrático”. Orwell, vocês sabem, é autor de “1984” e “Animal Farm”, que aqui cito com o título original por razões que vocês entenderão ao longo do podcast. Não só isso. Também escreveu dezenas de ensaios que nos ajudam a compreender como a sua visão de mundo foi sendo forjada de acordo com as próprias experiências. É um dos autores mais citados e lidos do século 20. Também é dono de uma das biografias mais desprezadas e das obras mais deturpadas desse período. Há muitas interpretações tresloucadas sobre a literatura de Orwell por aí. Para entender melhor quem foi esse cara e quais são os caminhos legítimos para interpretar a sua obra que convidei Débora Tavares para um papo. Débora é professora e idealizadora da Livre Literatura, plataforma que nasceu em 2020 com o objetivo de divulgar e democratizar o conhecimento produzido na universidade pública. Vou deixar o caminho do Instagram para vocês na descrição do episódio, recomendo que acompanhem o trabalho dela lá no Livre Literatura. Débora é também mestre e doutora em literatura pela USP, onde pesquisou a obra de George Orwell e a sua relação com a História. *** A coletânea de Brecht que menciono, organizada por André Vallias, saiu pela Perspectiva, não pela Parábola. ** O caminho para o instagram do Livre Literatura: https://www.instagram.com/livre_literatura * Aqui o caminho para a newsletter da Página Cinco: https://paginacinco.substack.com/

In this episode we delve into the lack of a sense of self that exists in Europe. While the European Union for decades has tried and failed (for, to us, obvious reasons) to provide an erzats-identity to the eroding national ones in (mostly) western Europe we look at the alternatives. While European elites have abandoned the project of building and caring for national identity and are trying to replace it with the more malleable “values” we look back to try and move forward.In this we provide four rather different takes on patriotism for the Europe of yore. One mystic and christian - while also strikingly french is provided by Simone Weil's The Need for Roots. This is contrasted by the materialistic yet quintessential spiritual Englishness of George Orwell's The Lion and the Unicorn. The ultimate defence of the very hobbitness of all that is England. Then we move to the liberal-republican Swedish contrarian Vilhelm Moberg and his plea for remembering the generations of toil by the unknown and unheard commoner whose legacy is the history of a nation in Svensk Stävan. Last we move to that prussian anarch, Ernst Jünger and his On the Marble Cliffs where honour and defiance to tyrannical authority is the last knightly virtue as well as a patriotism all of its own.

Es lo que ocurre con su última novela, La fábrica de ángeles, en la que transita por un marco temporal que ella conoce al dedillo, los años 20 del siglo pasado. Esta vez, Madrid como protagonista. Un teatro-cabaret y unos crímenes. Y el inspector Adolfo Kobler. Una novela que engancha desde la primera página y que ha publicado Planeta.Ignacio del Valle es un fino estilista de las letras. Su serie del capitán Arturo Andrade llegó incluso al cine. Y ahora se ha adentrado en la mente de uno de los personajes más siniestros del Tercer Reich, Hermann Göring. Edhasa nos trae este ensayo novelado: Hermann G. En la sección de Audiolibros, 1984, la obra inmortal de George Orwell. Y entre las últimas novedades, la primera novela que publicó J. D. Barker, que ahora llega a España de la mano de Destino.

En este episodio os hablaremos de 1984, de George Orwell, una novela distópica que retrata un mundo totalitario donde el Estado vigila y controla todos los aspectos de la vida. La historia sigue a Winston Smith, un trabajador del Partido que comienza a cuestionar la realidad impuesta por el Gran Hermano. En Oceanía, la libertad de pensamiento está prohibida y el lenguaje es manipulado para eliminar la disidencia. Orwell construye una crítica feroz a la censura, la vigilancia masiva y la manipulación ideológica. Publicada en 1949, 1984 sigue siendo una advertencia inquietante sobre los peligros del poder absoluto y la erosión de la verdad. ⚠️ Si este programa te ha gustado: comenta, dale a me gusta, compártelo.

Laurie Taylor talks to Nina Khrushcheva, Professor of International Affairs at The New School in New York City about her research into the propaganda formulas deployed by Vladimir Putin and the Kremlin over the last two decades. As the great granddaughter of Nikita Khrushchev, the Prime Minister of the Soviet Union between 1958 and 1964, she offers personal, as well as political insights, into these developments, drawing on previous periods of oppression in Russian history. She argues that Russia's invasion of Ukraine has intensified 'hard' propaganda, leading to a pervasive presence of military images in every day life and the rehabilitation of Josef Stalin, the former dictator of the Soviet Union, as a symbol of Russian power. She suggests that lessons from past eras, described by such Soviet classics as Alexander Solzhenitsyn's The Gulag Archipelago, can offer small grounds for optimism and hope, as ordinary people absorb alternative narratives. How else to explain the fact that George Orwell's dystopian novel, 1984, has been a bestseller for many years and has seen a surge in popularity since the start of the war in Ukraine?Producer: Jayne Egerton

38: Hapless Democrats, Greenland Buffoonery & Trump's Orwellian QuagmireWelcome to episode thirty-eight of David & Stu… Unhinged! As always, we'd like to thank Clara Wang for creating the fantastic artwork for this podcast. In this episode, David and Stu cover the following:1) The Democrats' historically low approval ratings and the disastrous leadership of Senator "Reptile" Schumer and the embarrassing spectacle of him folding like a house of cards over the GOP's budget and continuing resolution. We also discuss Gavin "Snake" Newson and the pathetic crew of 2028 presidential candidates, which includes Tampon Tim Walz and hapless Mayor Pete.2) The assault on Greenland by Trump and his cronies, including a visit by Vice President J.D. "Piglet" Vance, and the complete absurdity of this land grab that is counterproductive to our national interests.3) How Trump and his team's use of fear tactics and lies to achieve insignificant results is consistent with the portrait drawn of a totalitarian state in George Orwell's 1984. Examples include assaults on judges, law firms, and artistic institutions, which have occurred through the use of a legally questionable executive order.Connect with David & Stu: Email David & Stu: davidandstuunhinged@gmail.com and share your comments, concerns, and questions.The views expressed on air during David & Stu… Unhinged! do not represent the views of RAGE Works staff, partners, or affiliates.

Part 1 of our double episode about Jack Hilton, a working-class author, World War I veteran, unemployed movement organiser, and trade union activist from Rochdale, north-west England.For this episode, we spoke to Jack Chadwick whose literary detective work rescued Hilton from almost total obscurity. We discussed Hilton's life growing up in Rochdale's slums, starting work at nine years old, and his activism in the National Unemployed Workers' Movement. We also talked about how he began writing, how Caliban Shrieks was celebrated within the London literary scene, and his long-term (and complex) relationship to George Orwell.More informationBuy Caliban Shrieks from an independent bookshopFull show notes including sources, photos, and eventually a full transcript are available on our website: https://workingclasshistory.com/podcast/wcl12-13-jack-hilton-rochdale-caliban/AcknowledgementsImage: Jack Hilton.

It started with a modern plea for help: "Can I charge my dead phone in your bookstore?" I was in Del Mar, California, walking up the coast of the Pacific Ocean after birding all morning in ​Torrey Pines​. I was tracking my birds on ​eBird​—the ​Peregrine Falcons​, ​Anna's Hummingbirds​, and ​California Scrub-Jays​—and, of course, completely drained my phone's battery. When I get to Del Mar I spy this hobbit-hole looking bookstore called ​Camino Books: For The Road Ahead​ and when I walk in I am suddenly thrust into a gorgeous Biblio Paradise. Camino Books is one of the most spectacular bookstores I've ever seen! I fall into the handwritten Staff Picks walls, nookish children's section, incredible curation, giant hand-drawn posters from Dave Eggers, and the Wonka-like atmosphere that creates a true feast for the eyes and mind! But yeah ... my phone's dead. So I walk to the back counter and ask the gentleman unpacking boxes if I could plug it in back there. When I tell him I'm Canadian he gives me a quirky grin and says, "How many tariffs should I put on your free charge?" We laugh and start talking about the political scene. John has the aura of ​George Saunders​—a certain "warm gnarliness"—and he tells me, "We have no left wing in this country. We're like an eagle slowly swirling to the ground with just one right wing." And I could immediately tell this poetic bookselling Jedi master needed to be recorded... What emerges are the poetic distillations of 67-year-old John the Bookseller, along with his wife Alison who cameos at the end. They have been booksellers since 1981 ... a combined 88 years! No wonder the store's so great. They began in Berkeley and then opened up an independent bookstore chain called Diesel Books, up and down the California coast, and now have sold the store to open up a little new shop on the coast called Camino Books: For the Road Ahead. Don't we all need a good book for the road ahead? Let's talk about how to open a bookstore, California independence, fighting fascism, George Orwell, the 51st state, customers vs. readers, Susan Cain, the Spanish Civil War, how to 'stay awake,' and, of course, John and Alison's 3 most formative books. This is the kind of mind-opening conversation that great bookstores create. Let's head down to Del Mar, California as we flip the page to Chapter 149 now...

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Show (06/03/2025): 3:05pm- On Monday, statistician and political analyst Nate Silver shared a survey which indicates 45% of self-identifying “liberals” suffer from “poor” mental health—suggesting there could be a correlation between “excellent” mental health and conservative political views. 3:30pm- In a new article posted to his Substack, statistician and political analyst Nate Silver attempts to answer the question: why do young men dislike Democrats? Silver concludes that young males are largely ambitious, entrepreneurial, and strong believers in individualism. Contrarily, the Democrat Party is viewed as risk averse and overly controlling.
