KGB Literati: Spy Fiction and State Security in the Soviet Union (University of Toronto Press, 2025) offers a first-ever glimpse into the mysterious and long-ignored world and work of Soviet spies- and counterspies-turned-writers. Once out of active service, many former spies have turned to writing spy fiction. They drop the dagger and pick up the pen. Some are very successful, like James Bond's creator Ian Fleming or the novelists John Le Carré and Graham Greene. Their Soviet counterparts have rarely been afforded the same attention or examination. Drawing on materials from KGB archives and Soviet publications long out of print, KGB Literati offers the first-ever account of spy fiction written, frequently with institutional support, by Soviet intelligence and counterintelligence officers. Spy fiction can give insights into the operational workings of clandestine agencies and the personal dimensions of secret service work. By analysing the literary output of KGB spies and counterspies, the book shows that for the KGB, this type of intervention into Soviet popular culture was a crucial component of their overall counterintelligence strategy. These texts played an instrumental role in the Soviet state's efforts to neutralize and counter Western cultural influences on the Soviet population. Dr. Filip Kovacevic's research is of great relevance today, given that a large segment of the Russian ruling elite is still composed of former KGB officers, including Russian president Vladimir Putin. KGB Literati illuminates the deep-seated KGB myths, values, aspirations, and fears that continue to have a profound impact on the foreign and domestic policies of the Russian Federation. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

John Ross, during his schoolboy days in New Zealand, was interested in far-flung places such as South America, Papua New Guinea, Ancient Greece and Rome, as well as books on World War One and Two. He read a lot of youth fiction starting at 10 years old, but as a teenager, had a voracious appetite for nonfiction. In his 20s he discovered a few wonderful fiction writers, but has still kept mostly to nonfiction through the decades.His first books were Willard Price's Adventure series and Gerald Durrell books on real-life animal collecting. He also read detective and war stories (Biggles) and lots of travel accounts and travel guides.Robert Louis Stevenson was a favorite—Treasure Island, Kidnapped—and later discovered that Stevenson was a very good essayist too. John also enjoyed Rudyard Kipling's Kim.The ancient Greeks left a great impression on him: Herodotus (The Histories) and Thucydides (The Peloponnesian War)In his early 20s he started reading proper literature:Anna Karenina, Dr Zhivago, George Orwell, and Joseph Conrad. He loved Peter Hopkirk's The Great Game series featuring colorful adventurers and spies in exotic locations. In his early 30s he discovered Raymond Chandler and in his 40s H.P. Lovecraft.For books on Asia and East Asia, he started reading about Burma in the late 1980s, and early 1990s, and Mongolia in the mid-1990s, and increasingly China and Taiwan, and even some works on Japan.Some well known book titles that made an early impression were Lost Horizon by James Hilton, Burmese Days by George Orwell, The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck, and Jonathan Spence's China books. Also books on Asia by Maurice Collis.Amy's ReadingAs a child, Amy remembers reading Black Beauty (Anna Sewell, 1877), Walter Farley's series The Black Stallion (1941), and a book called Ponies Plot (Janet Hickman, 1971). She loved all the required reading for school (some books now banned): English literature such as Graham Greene's Brighton Rock, Shakespeare's plays, and lots of Roald Dahl, including Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and James and the Giant Peach; and American authors John Steinbeck (1930s–1950s), J. D. Salinger's Catcher in the Rye (1951), Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter (1850), Harriet the Spy by Louise Fitzhugh (1964) and A Separate Peace (1959) by John Knowles. She recalls that in first grade, her teacher read to the class Little Pear (1931), by Eleanor Francis Lattimore, about a Chinese boy.From her parents' book collection she read Little Women, by Louisa May Alcott (1868), and Wuthering Heights (1847) Emily Bronte as well as stories by Charlotte Bronte and other classics.In college she moved into more popular literature, again much of it required reading for her classes: works by Thomas Pynchon, Jerzy Kosiński, Blind Date (1977) and The Painted Bird (1965) the latter of which—notably—had a scene on bestiality and would probably be banned as college reading these days!.In high school, her father paid her to read books, and she vividly remembers excerpts from Henry Hazlitt's The Foundations of Morality (1964), which still influences her choices in life today. She credits her father's books for her interest in philosophy and a basic understanding of free-market economics.Once she knew she was headed to Japan, she read Edwin Reischauer's The Japanese Today (1988), and Japan as Number One, by Ezra Vogel (1979) which were her first books to read about Asia (other than Shogun). For most of her childhood she preferred non-fiction and didn't start reading fiction seriously till she arrived in Japan and read Haruki Murakami. Now she reads everything!At the end of the podcast Amy & John encourage listeners to write in to ask for suggestions on what books on Asia to give friends or family.

The twentieth century is understood as an era of growing, inexorable secularism, yet in Britain between the 1890s and the 1960s there was a marked turn to Rome. In the first half of the century, Catholicism became an intellectual and spiritual fashion attracting more than half a million converts, including fascinating artists, writers, and thinkers. What drew these men and women to join the church, and what difference did conversion make to them? In Converts: From Oscar Wilde to Muriel Spark, Why So Many Became Catholic in the 20th Century (Yale UP, 2025), Melanie McDonagh examines the lives of these notable converts from the perspective of their faith. For the Decadent circle of Aubrey Beardsley and Oscar Wilde—who converted on his deathbed—artists such as Gwen John and David Jones, the philosopher Elizabeth Anscombe, and novelists including G. K. Chesterton, Graham Greene, Evelyn Waugh, and Muriel Spark, Catholicism offered stability in increasingly febrile times. McDonagh explores their lives and influences, the reaction to their conversions, and the priests who initiated them into their faith. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

"Monsieur Orientexpress" von Gerhard J. Rekel" - Wie es Georges Nagelmackers gelang, Welten zu verbinden(Hördauer ca. 13 Minuten Lesung, ca. 64 Minuten Gespräch)„Georges Nagelmackers hat etwas komplett Neues für Europa eingeleitet: Er hat es vollbracht, Grenzen zu überwinden, ohne Krieg zu führen.“ – Baudouin Nagelmackers, Mitglied der FamilieDer Orient-Express gilt als berühmtester Zug der Welt. Agatha Christie, Graham Greene und schließlich Hollywood machten ihn zum Mythos. Doch was ist die Geschichte des Orient-Express, wer hat ihn auf die Gleise gestellt, welche Vision steckte dahinter? Um 1880 stehen die Zeichen in Europa auf Nationalismus, viele europäische Länder streben eine Großmachtstellung an und schotten sich ab. In dieser Zeit taucht ein Mann auf, der die europäischen Staaten miteinander verbinden will: Georges Nagelmackers (1845–1905). Trotz Vorurteilen, Fremdenhass und bürokratischer Hindernisse gelingt es dem Eisenbahn-Pionier, ab 1883 Paris mit Konstantinopel zu verbinden und ein Netzwerk von über 180 europäischen Nachtzugverbindungen aufzubauen.Georges Nagelmackers' Lebensgeschichte, hier in Szene gesetzt und mit prächtigen zeitgenössischen Illustrationen versehen von Gerhard Rekel, ist ein Plädoyer für die hartnäckige Verfolgung einer Vision, das raffinierte Spiel über die Bande und den Glauben an den Umweg: geografisch, politisch und menschlich.Gerhard J. Rekel wurde 1965 in Graz geboren. Er absolvierte die Filmakademie Wien, für die Komödie „Trauma“ erhielt er eine British Academy Nomination, eine Biennale-Einladung sowie den Japanischen Drehbuchpreis. Er verfasste mehrere Drehbücher für den „Tatort“ und realisierte als Regisseur Wissenschaftsdokumentationen für ARTE, ZDF und andere Sender. Rekel hat mehrere Romane veröffentlicht, u. a. „Der Duft des Kaffees“. Das zuletzt bei K&S erschienene Buch „Monsieur Orient-Express“ erhielt den ITB-BookAward 2023 des Deutschen Buch-Börsenvereins und wurde ins Englische, Französische und Niederländische übersetzt.vielleicht mögen Sie auch diese SendungKommen Sie doch auch einfach mal zu unseren Live-Aufzeichnungen nach SchwabingRedaktion und Realisation Uwe Kullnick

From the silver screen to theatre stages and televisions across the world, Graham Greene was a trailblazing actor and legend. He brought nuance, humour and grit to many roles, paving a way for generations of Indigenous actors. Graham Greene died last month at age 73. Rosanna speaks to his friends, family and fans about his many roles in art and in life, and the legacy he leaves behind.
My chat with God And Sex author Jon Raymond, a book that The New York Times assures "lives up to its epic title." We covered: (1) writing a story that unites the worldviews of his Buddhist father and Jewish mother; (2) drawing inspiration from Graham Greene's classic The End Of The Affair, and (3) how curing writer despair is often a matter of just re-investing yourself in the writer community. The karma is real. Order Mark's novel Bunyan and Henry. All episodes of The Thoughtful Bro aired live originally on A Mighty Blaze.

The Red Gaze crew pays tribute to an amazing and beloved actor, Graham Greene, and discusses some of his favorite and iconic roles.
There's some strange things afoot at the Circle K, amongst them some sideways situations for American firearm owners and Second Amendment supporters (which means everyone, in a fashion). What's going on with the unintended acceleration from M18s? Did Sig Sauer make a mistake or is this something worse? What's better for our fighters to carry - an M18 or an M14? Did we have these problems when US warfighters carried their 1911s cocked and locked? Do all off-roaders carry a sidearm? How about a frontarm? Meanwhile, what's afoot and ahand with the underlying argument about craziness in the transmission crowd, and how American gun dealers are unintentionally making the case against dudes in the girls' locker room (ie: You can't blame the hammer for crooked nails.). Meanwhile, let's all watch how the NRA negotiates this one (and how long is their game - Go Doug, go!). Here's talking at you: an F-35 conference call, polymath versus psycho, Leo Gordon, Bruce Lee Jr., self-defense spatulas, Sam Peckinpaugh, an Excellent Weirdo Sendoff for Graham Greene of "Maverick" and "Longmire", the Spiritual Beggars, Pelican and an Excellent Weirdo Sendoff for Dave Mustaine and his monster, Megadeth.

We have three movies on the show this week, starting with THE LONG WALK (2:59), which Megan saw. It's violent. It has a dose of scatology. It has a different ending from the Stephen King/Richard Bachman book. Judy Greer is great in it. But did Megan like it? Then Megan and Evan talk HIGHEST 2 LOWEST (17:26), the latest Spike Lee joint, starring Denzel Washington. Then Dave joins Megan and Evan for OR SOMETHING (39:12), a short walking-and-talking drama with comedic elements that we all had different reactions to. Over on Patreon, we talk about CLEARCUT, starring the late Graham Greene.

Oneida actor Graham Greene said learning the Lakota language for his celebrated role as Kicking Bird was among his greatest challenges. Over the span of nearly five decades, Greene worked in nearly 200 television shows and films where he earned the admiration of audiences and his fellow actors. His many characters included Maximus in the acclaimed series, “Reservation Dogs,” Old Smoke in “Tulsa King,” tribal police Chief Ben Shoyo in “Wind River,” and Edgar Montrose in the Canadian TV comedy series “The Red Green Show.” He was a busy actor who expanded Indigenous representation for both audiences and filmmakers. We'll hear from some of Greene's friends and colleagues about how he is remembered.

André Holland has wowed us in movies like MOONLIGHT and his new Sundance hit LOVE, BROOKLYN. But he says that he gets the most comments -- and perhaps even owes his career -- to his role as Dr. Algernon Edwards in the Steven Soderbergh-helmed Cinemax series THE KNICK. It was a role he could relate to, and of the kind he'd been searching high and low for -- one that fit. He and Jordan talk about the essential perspective that role brought to the Peak TV era, and the show's often unsettling resonance for today (despite being set in 1900).Then, Jordan offers a tribute to the indelible actor Graham Greene. Feeling Seen is hosted by Jordan Crucchiola and is a production Maximum Fun.Need more Feeling Seen? Keep up with the show on Instagram and Bluesky.

We're remembering Canadian icon Graham Greene (Dances With Wolves, The Green Mile, Wind River), who died yesterday at the age of 73. Graham was one of the most recognizable Indigenous actors in North America. He was recently honoured with a Lifetime Artistic Achievement Award from the Governor General's Awards, which recognized his prolific career on stage and screen. In this career-spanning interview from June of this year, Graham spoke with Tom Power about the incredible work ethic he developed during his early days as a roadie, how he learned Lakota for “Dances With Wolves,” his Oscar nomination and his advice to up-and-coming actors.

The long, holiday weekend has come to an end…the calendar has flipped to a new month…and we've got so much to do before this Sunday's bike giveaway at Features in Holmen! Speaking of the new month, it's officially September…so we listed off a few things to look forward to in the upcoming month. We also talked to Grant Bilse of the Wisco Sports Show about the struggling Brewers, and the MASSIVE move by the Packers last week to acquire Micah Parsons from the Cowboys. In the news this morning, the Powerball jackpot is going to be $1.3 billion this Wednesday, a victim of a road rage attack in VT might need to have both his eyes surgically removed, former UWL Chancellor Joe Gow is going to be on TV tonight in a TMZ story about OnlyFans, an 11-year-old child was shot & killed while playing a game of "ding dong ditch", and actor Graham Greene passed away this weekend. In sports, the Brew Crew continue to struggle, Bill Belichick makes his debut as the head coach of UNC, a look at the Week 1 schedule in the NFL, and Chase Briscoe gets a win in the first NASCAR Cup Series playoff race. Elsewhere in sports, a viral clip of a Polish CEO stealing from a child, and a very "grabby" Oakland A's fan reminds us of another moment in baseball history. We talked about what else is on TV tonight and we also discussed the guy at the Korn show at MetLife stadium who was REALLY excited to be there. Everyone was sharing the video of the kid walking around on a monorail at an amusement park this weekend(thankfully, he was rescued without harm), but did you see this 100-year-old celebrate his birthday with a skydive??? There was also three brothers who rowed across the Pacific Ocean and helped raise over $1 million for clean water projects in Madagascar! And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a guy who's luggage was stolen from the airport…but he used his Apple airtags to track down the thieves, an officer who responded to a call while visibly intoxicated, a guy who got busted for filming upskirt videos at a college library, a Maserati owner who got busted with a bunch of laughing gas containers in his car, a new crime spree where people steal your gutters in broad daylight for scrap, and a couple of guys took turns shooting each other in the head while wearing a Kevlar helmet.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
