Today on the podcast I am joined by James O'Donnell of Ways of Seeing to talk about the band's brand new second album, 'The Inheritance of Fear', which was released on the 10th of October. The album has been produced by Christian Best, mixed by Dan Fox and mastered by Jamie Hyland. Speaking about The Inheritance of Fear, lead singer James O'Donnell said: “This album explores the ways fear is passed down; through generations, through relationships, through the stories we tell ourselves. It looks at the psychological weight of inherited anxieties, the way past traumas shape our present, and how we either break free or become trapped in these cycles. It examines past memories and re-imagines the lives of those that may have influenced the people we are today. It was an exercise in self-discovery, unearthing all those skeletons….so to speak! Doireann Ní Ghríofa's “To Star the Dark” inspired many of the album's themes, as did the surrealism of TS Eliot's “The Wasteland” and Samuel Beckett's “Waiting for Godot.” I'll be going through the album with James track by track and talking about the themes explored in each of the songs, the recording process, the new techniques used on the album and the stunning music video for the single, 'Idolise'.Ways of Seeing on BandcampWays of Seeing's websiteGlasseyed live at Sin E w/ Gunnera, Shallo & WhitethorrnSacred Noose live at Fibber Magees w/ Lymphodema, Their Last Stop & Ancient Malice Hosted on Acast.

Tom Uren and Amberleigh Jack talk about how America can better use its private sector to scale up offensive cyber activities, including espionage and disruption operations. Involving it to tackle ransomware and cryptocurrency scammers makes a lot of sense. They also talk about how the ransomware ecosystem is splintering, and one operator's relatively quick journey from being an affiliate to a platform operator.

Hey Broadway Besties! Time for our weekly check-in on the Broadway News & Top Selling Shows! First up, Lindsey reviews Renee Elise Goldsberry's new documentary, Satisfied!In Broadway News:
Les, Kurt, and Jason recorded this episode on the day of the Full Supermoon which gives Kurt extra zing. He may have had a TON of zing back when his professor made him read Waiting for Godot (which would have been pure hell for Les). Plus, Blac Chyna speculates on possible career paths for daughter Dream despite the fact that she's already recorded her first single (but the music has to be IN you, not ON you). Then the guys get hitched to Hallmark's The Groomsmen Second Chances, the second of their (so far) really great trilogy. There's even an Aunt Gert-coded character in Ophelia Papodapolis, and we'd rather watch Gert and Ophelia cliff jump than watch the rock climbing wall bachelor party.

“Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord's coming…” (James 5:7) In this message, we explore what it means to live a Spirit-filled life marked by patience. Unlike love, joy, and peace—which feel refreshing and desirable—patience is often harder to embrace because it means waiting, enduring, and long-suffering. Drawing from James 5, the story of Waiting for Godot, and practical spiritual practices, we discover that patience is not passive but an active partnership with God. Patience teaches us to embrace suffering, resist distraction, and experience God's presence with us in the waiting. This sermon is part of our Cultivate series: The Fruit of a Spirit-Filled Life at Grace Chapel.

️ La Teoría de la Mente – Episodio: “Fracasa mejor” Hoy exploramos una de esas frases que pueden cambiar nuestra perspectiva sobre el fracaso, la resiliencia y el sentido profundo de seguir intentándolo: "Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better." Una frase de Samuel Beckett que, lejos de ser un simple eslogan motivacional, nos habla desde un lugar más oscuro, honesto y humano sobre lo que significa sentirse insuficiente y seguir adelante a pesar de todo. En este episodio reflexionamos sobre la biografía del propio Beckett —discípulo de James Joyce, ignorado durante años, resistente durante la guerra y creador de obras inmortales como Esperando a Godot— y cómo su historia personal impregna ese lema tan malinterpretado por el mundo del emprendimiento. ¿Realmente "fracasar mejor" es un peldaño hacia el éxito, como nos vende Silicon Valley? ¿O es más bien una invitación a convivir con nuestras grietas, a no ocultar los pedazos rotos, sino a integrarlos como parte de lo que somos? Descubriremos el origen etimológico de la palabra fracaso, viajaremos al universo del kintsugi japonés (el arte de reparar con oro) y reflexionaremos sobre cómo nuestras propias roturas pueden transformarse en una forma de sabiduría emocional y conexión con los demás. Este episodio no busca que salgas invencible, sino que te sientas comprendido. Que puedas mirar tu jarrón hecho pedazos y elegir con qué tipo de oro vas a reconstruirlo. Dale al play y acompáñanos en esta reflexión profunda sobre la belleza que hay en fracasar, pero con sentido.

Episode 101: The 101 Greatest Plays Host: Douglas Schatz Guests: Michael Billington Mark Lawson Welcome to The Play Podcast where we explore the greatest new and classic plays. Each episode we choose a single play to talk about in depth with our expert guest. We'll discuss the play's origins, its themes, characters, structure and impact. For us the play is the thing. In 2015 the esteemed theatre critic, Michael Billington, published The 101 Greatest Plays – From Antiquity to the Present. Michael wrote that his selection was intended as a “provocation”, a “prelude to debate”. Ten years on I invited Michael and the arts journalist, Mark Lawson, to join me to review and debate his criteria and selection. During our discussion we not only wrangled over specific inclusions and exclusions in Michael's list, including most controversially his omission of both King Lear and Waiting for Godot, we also addressed more general questions about the criteria for selection, what elements make a great play, and what makes a play more likely to endure beyond its own time. Join us in the debate!

In this episode of the Broad Street Review podcast, host Darnelle Radford welcomes guests Will and Mike to discuss their journey in creating the play 'Dogberry and Verges Are Scared' for the Philadelphia Fringe Festival. They explore the collaborative nature of theater, the challenges of producing a new work, and the excitement of engaging with audiences. The conversation highlights the importance of support from the artistic community and the evolution of their script through various readings and workshops. As they prepare for their upcoming performances, they reflect on the creative process and the joy of bringing new stories to life.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Welcome to Season 1001:05 Meet the Guests: Will and Mike02:22 The Journey of Creating a Play05:33 The Importance of Collaboration in Theater11:11 Navigating the Current Climate for Artists14:44 First Performance and Audience Reactions18:55 The Evolution of the Script25:00 The Role of Support and Collaboration27:52 Closing Thoughts and Ticket InformationDogberry and Verges Are Scared is a pants-pissingly funny new comedy that follows everyone's third favorite pair of Shakespearean clowns as they blunder through the events of Much Ado About Nothing and beyond.Their friendship and their wits will be tested as they attempt to foil Don John's evil plot, save Fair Hero's wedding, and hopefully earn a few ducats while they're at it. Borrowing from the rich theatrical history that traces its roots from Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead to Waiting for Godot to the storied stages of the vaudeville circuit.This rolling world premiere, produced in partnership with Cincinnati Shakespeare Company, hopes to shed new light on familiar characters by mixing a modern comedic sensibility and exciting new scenes with a light sprinkling Shakespeare's own words, words, words. It's chock full of easter eggs for people with a season subscription to the Folger and the perfect gateway drug for those who think “iambic pentameter” is a model of Buick. Starring Philadelphia theater legends Scott Greer and Anthony Lawton, Dogberry and Verges Are Scared is bursting with heart, highbrow comedy, vaudevillian gags, and... dancing? Only 10 performances. Do not miss this play!Slippery Trout Productions was formed in 2025 by Michael Doherty and Will Mobley. They are two clowns that have no business running a business.FOR TICKETS AND INFORMATION: https://phillyfringe.org/events/dogberry-and-verges-are-scared/
