We begin our walking tour and podcast in Belgrade's Kalemegdan, the ancient fortress peering out over the confluence of the Sava and Danube Rivers. In her book, Black Lamb and Grey Falcon, published in 1941, Dame Rebecca West provides us with a short history of Kalemegdan —from the Romans to the Ottomans to the Serbs—and actor Melanie Preston reads an excerpt for you. As we walk down into Dorcol, Stefan Sablic—cantor of the Belgrade synagogue, Ladino singer and musician—will accompany us. narrated by Edward Serotta

“To lose a passport was the least of one's worries,” wrote Bruce Chatwin, “to lose a notebook was a catastrophe.” In this episode Seamus and Blake venture into the far reaches of travel literature, that roving genre where writers are always on the move and no book is contained by its borders. Some of the books discussed in this episode include:  Baudelaire  "Twilight in Italy" by D. H. Lawrence  "Songlines" by Bruce Chatwin  "Travels with Herodotus" by Ryszard Kapuściński "The Odyssey" by Homer  "Democracy in America" by Alexis de Tocqueville  "Sinbad" by Kurt Vonnegut  "The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde" by Robert Louis Stevenson  "Black Lamb and Grey Falcon" by Rebecca West  "The Turn of the Screw" by Henry James Email: seamusandblake@gmail.com  IG: https://www.instagram.com/on.the.same.page.podcast/ #bookpodcast #podcast #henryjames #rebeccawest #robertluisstevenson #kurtvonnegut #travelswithherodotus #songlines #brucechatwin #twilightinitaly #dhlawrence #baudelaire "democracyinamerica #alexisdetocqueville #travelwriting #travel #travelliterature #travelbooks #booksabouttravel 

Eighty years since its publication, Rebecca West's Black Lamb and Grey Falcon: A Journey Through Yugoslavia remains the most authoritative (and longest) book of travel writing on that former country. The book, which documents West's travels through Yugoslavia in the second half of the 1930s, has been described as “astonishing,” “brilliant,” “remarkable,” “a supreme literary monument,” and “one of the most important books written about Europe in the last century.” It's also been derided as biased, fictional, and factually flawed.What's the big deal about this big book? Who was Rebecca West? And what makes the book relevant a lifetime later?With Helen Atkinson (Rebecca West's great-niece), Angela Carlton, and James Thomas Snyder. Featuring music by Gogofski, Paniks, and Undescore Orkestra.The Remembering Yugoslavia podcast explores the memory of a country that no longer exists. Created, produced, and hosted by Peter Korchnak.

This week, we’re speaking to the editor of Strong Words magazine, Ed Needham. Ed is a veteran of magazines in the UK and US. In the 1990’s, he edited the massively popular, FHM before moving to New York to launch and edit the same title. Later, he would go on to become managing editor of Rolling Stone magazine and editor-in-chief of US Maxim, which, at that point, was the biggest-selling men’s magazine in the world. In 2018, Ed decided to combine his experience with his passion for books and created a brand new magazine called Strong Words. Written and edited by the man himself, the magazine is packed full of interviews, news, and reviews – there are over 100 books featured in each issue. Elizabeth Day says the magazine is ‘Genius’ and Sebastian Faulks calls it ‘A Must Read’. With nine publications a year, the magazine is perfect for any bookworm. --- Books mentioned in this episode: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S.

The European Union faces a multi-crisis situation at the moment. As the conflict in Idlib and the circumstances at the Greek-Turkish border has erupted, Europe seems to have troubles to respond to latest developments in the Syrian war and threats from Turkey. Host Mark Leonard is joined by ECFR co-chair and former Prime Minister of Sweden, Carl Bildt as well as by the ECFR experts Asli Aydintasbas and Julien Barnes-Dacey to discuss the reasoning behind Ankara’s recent moves and the EU’s reactions. How to avoid a 2015-like situation but without tossing its own values and human rights out off the window? And how to deal with the other seats of fire within the Union itself? This podcast was recorded on 12 March 2020.

I’m Vox’s interviews writer, Sean Illing. Lately, I’ve been interested in the following question: Is the decline of institutionalized Christianity making our politics worse? The answer may be yes, but I’m not convinced it’s for the reasons many people suppose. Ross Douthat is a conservative columnist for the New York Times who has been one of the more thoughtful writers on this topic. Douthat believes that Christianity’s collapse has not only helped destroy civic bonds in America, it’s also amplified our tribalism problem. As more and more Americans lose any connection to a shared religious or moral worldview, he argues, they’re increasingly drawn to transgressive movements like the alt-right or to the vulgar politics of Donald Trump. My sense is that Douthat’s view of Christianity is somewhat nostalgic and overlooks the racial hierarchy that undergirded previous eras of American politics. But I’m open to his point of view, and admit I might be mistaken. In this conversation, we discuss the forces behind the decline of Christianity, how it’s fueling tribal politics, and why he thinks the left should really be worried about the post-Christian right.
