In this special episode of Gobsmacked!, I'm joined by my second cousin, Damian Le Bas, author of the acclaimed The Stopping Places and now The Drowned Places, a haunting, lyrical exploration of grief, memory, and the worlds that lie beneath the surface.Written in the wake of his father's death, the visionary artist Damian Le Bas, the book takes us on a journey through submerged landscapes and the emotional terrain of loss, drawing unexpected parallels with the myth of Atlantis.We speak about his parents' creative brilliance, including his mother, Turner Prize nominee Delaine Le Bas, his experience of writing through grief, and the grounding arrival of fatherhood with the birth of his daughter, Nina.My word—this is a profoundly articulate, bright, and thoughtful fellow. Sitting down with him for this conversation about legacy, identity, and resurfacing after loss was a true privilege. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

If you were to read through the Bible, you'd eventually reach the book of Revelation, where you encounter a strange world filled with images of swords, dragons, angels, bizarre beasts, and visions of the end of the world. Some have attempted to decipher a hidden code that will reveal secrets about the future. Others view it as a call to retreat from the world. But we believe it's neither of these. Instead, Revelation serves as a wake-up call to radical discipleship in a broken world.Today we talk about a Jesus that inspires us to share his love with the world.Support the show

Ben Yagoda is the emeritus professor of English at the University of Delaware. Relying on his rich experience of having lived both in the US and the UK, Ben's new book, "Gobsmacked! The British Invasion of American English" talks about how language can travel across the two countries. Many words and phrases that originated in the UK have made themselves more at home in America. What is their history? Ben's blog https://notoneoffbritishisms.com/ which covers many of these topics is a super-hit.

This reprise of a story from “Trouble” is not exactly a Hanukkah story, but it is Hanukkah-”adjacent” (to borrow a wonderful phrase from Nick Sipe in his story in “Foolhardy”). It is a story about family and memories and candles, essential elements of that cultural celebration and observance. It is a story about empathy, something we can all use more of and offer more often when we can. —Happy Holidays from “6-minute Stories” podcast and the Personal Story Publishing Project.“Thirteen Candles in the Dark”—the “mother-in-law from hell” The trouble between them was as old and deep as the love which might yet heal them. Arlene Mandell is an artist living in Linville, North Carolina. Her colorful portraits are displayed year-round at the Carlton Gallery in Banner Elk (www.carltongallery.com/arlenemandell). A native New Yorker, she loved teaching in Manhattan's Head Start program. Switching gears, she joined a travel magazine in Miami, Florida, where she met Captain Dan. Their permanent relocation to the Blue Ridge Mountains inspired a love of writing. Her memoirs “Eye of the Dolphin,” “Artist Borne,” “Gobsmacked in the Gulfstream,” “Renegade Daughter,” and “It Started with a Typo” appear on “6-minute Stories” podcast.

Earlier this year, Matt Gallagher recorded his first-ever podcast for Gobsmacked. Reeling from his Motor Neurone Disease (MND) diagnosis in 2023, Matt opened his heart and family life to raise awareness and offer rapid support to others facing similar challenges. Eight months on, Matt returns to the studio to introduce his dear friend, Ollie Russell, who recently attempted a world record: 48 hours of burpee broad jumps.Ollie, a 26-year-old fitness coach and athlete, has a deeply moving backstory, shaped by the loss of his father to cancer. Inspired by Matt's journey and their shared resilience, Ollie's challenge was a testament to determination, raising vital funds for the Matt Gallagher Foundation, which has already contributed over £370,000 to the MND community.Tune in to Episode 39 of Gobsmacked to hear their incredible stories of heroism, stoicism, and heart.

George Bernard Shaw said that England and America are two countries separated by a common language. Over time Americanisms have infiltrated popular British culture. But increasingly, Britishisms are gaining traction in the US, in part with the rise of social media and instant communication.

Arlene Mandell is an artist living in Linville, North Carolina, proudly celebrating her 10th year at Carlton Gallery in Banner Elk. (carltongallery.com/arlene-mandell).

The British love to complain that words and phrases imported from America--from French fries to Awesome, man!--are destroying the English language. But what about the influence going the other way? Britishisms have been making their way into the American lexicon for more than 150 years, but the process has accelerated since the turn of the twenty-first century. From acclaimed writer and language commentator Ben Yagoda, Gobsmacked! is a witty, entertaining, and enlightening account of how and why scores of British words and phrases--such as one-off, go missing, curate, early days, kerfuffle, easy peasy, and cheeky--have been enthusiastically taken up by Yanks. After tracing Britishisms that entered the American vocabulary in the nineteenth century and during the world wars, Gobsmacked!: The British Invasion of American English (Princeton UP, 2024) discusses the most-used British terms in America today. It features chapters on the American embrace of British insults and curses, sports terms, and words about food and drinks. The book also explores the American adoption of British spellings, pronunciations, and grammar, and cases where Americans have misconstrued British expressions (for example, changing can't be arsed to can't be asked) or adopted faux-British usages, like pronouncing divisive as "divissive." Finally, the book offers some guidance on just how many Britishisms an American can safely adopt without coming off like an arse. Rigorously researched and documented but written in a light, conversational style, this is a book that general readers and language obsessives will love. Its revealing account of a surprising and underrecognized language revolution might even leave them, well, gobsmacked. Learn more about your ad choices.

Looking for Christmas podcasts? We curated some of our favorite episodes just for you here! During today's conversation on Back Porch Theology we've got the whole gang in the studio – Alli, Dr. Howard, Belle – from Ring My Belle – and me – and we're going to spend some time gawking at God's faithfulness and how He's gotten us to our 100th episode – which is today, December 11th! We're two years into this podcast adventure and we're still pinching ourselves that we get to do this and get to do it together. One of my favorite, long-dead church fathers – those ancient spiritual leaders that I like to refer to as my pretend theological boyfriends – Bernard of Clairvaux – said this: “I preached myself, and the scholars came and praised me. I preached Christ, and the sinners came and thanked me.” We've certainly made some mistakes and shared lots of shenanigans in the studio while recording the first 99 episodes of BPT, but it's been a profound privilege to attempt to make Jesus the Hero of every podcast leading up to this centennial celebration. And we're beyond grateful that y'all consistently carve the time out of your days to lean into His unconditional love for us on the porch. Honestly, when Alli and I started, we thought our listeners would be comprised of her husband Jonathan, and my mom, Patti. Thank you for enlarging our dreams and better yet, our community. Now most of y'all know the drill - please grab a cup of coffee and your Bible – unless you've gotten all Pinteresty this season and need both hands to finish those dadgum handmade ornaments before Christmas is over, of course – and come hang out on the porch for this super special praise party with us.

Have you ever run away to the circus and offered a clown a blowjob? It's 1977 in Jolly Old England, and Golden Age of Adult Cinema megastar Veronica Hart (a.k.a Jane Esther Hamilton) is performing under the big top when Brian the tightrope clown catches her eye - so she propositions him backstage. Flattered, Brian tells Vanessa he's happily married - and then the fun really begins! That night's intimate threesome turns into a family breakfast and a lifelong connection that inspired Veronica Hart's career as an actress, producer and director.   Song: '3' (Britney Spears)   Threesome l I Love my Wife l Big Top | Family l Circus l Clown l Elephants l Trapeze Artist l Human Cannonball | Performer l Gobsmacked l Model l Actress l Dancer l Singer l Best Gift l Industry l Tube l Tooting | Pixie l Wine l Malarkey l Parents l Relaxed l Threesome Dynamic l Integrity l Trustworthy l Worship l Miniskirt l Nipple I Crosseyed l Wink l Nuzzle l Smoosh l Guide l Huzzah l Sleepover l Breakfast l Pancakes and Orange Juice l A Scent of Heather l Wanda Whips Fall Street l Misty Beethoven the Musical l Marilyn Chambers l Producer l Director l Ginger Lynn l Michael Nin l Intimacy l Golden Age of Adult Cinema l London l   About our Storyteller:   Veronica Hart (aka Jane Esther Hamilton) became a star in Adult Cinema's Golden Age, won Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress in the Eroticas and XRCO Awards, and is included in several Adult Hall of Fames.

An Auckland councillor is gobsmacked at the spend on lawyers and consultants. The council has paid out $190-million to the Big 4 global accountants and large law firms over the past five years. It's an average cost to ratepayers of more than $100,000 a day. Councillor Mike Lee told Mike Hosking it's deeply troubling and there's been a lack of transparency.
