Some books are long, some are short, but certain works feel abundant—overflowing with rhythm, atmosphere, and depth that can't be exhausted in a single reading. In this episode we are joined by Lori Feathers, and we set as our foundation Henry James's The Portrait of a Lady to explore what makes a work abundant. We move through other examples, asking what defines abundances, how it differs from size or ambition, and why these books matter.We've got some fantastic author-focused episodes lined up for the foreseeable future, and we want to give you plenty of time to dive in if you'd like to read along with us.

We're back with more of the literacy gripes that make us wince, laugh, and think deeper.

In this episode, Trevor and Paul turn their attention to Nobel Prize–winner Kazuo Ishiguro, whose eight novels over the past forty years have earned both admiration and debate. Together, we trace Ishiguro's remarkable range: the restrained heartbreak of Remains of the Day, the dream-logic labyrinth of The Unconsoled, the quiet devastation of Never Let Me Go, the ambitious allegory of The Buried Giant, and the AI exploration of Klara and the Sun. Along the way, we weigh Ishiguro's signature themes of memory, regret, art, and the stories we tell ourselves—and ask what makes him one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary literature, even when his experiments don't always succeed.Whether you're a longtime devotee or just curious where to begin, we hope you'll join us for a conversation about masterpieces and misfires.We've got some fantastic author-focused episodes lined up for the foreseeable future, and we want to give you plenty of time to dive in if you'd like to read along with us.

Well you finally got your wish as this nonsense is finally being wrapped up and this is the penultimate episode. That means second to last, you morons. Anyways, this week I'm talking the reasons behind the decision, martyrdom, the Red Sox, the Patriots and West Ham United. I also have a voicemail on the most famous dog of all time which is a great topic. Then it's on to Three Gripes: putting a personal ethos on your car, men fighting age and drinking a glass of water while driving. It's all mercifully coming to an end, so now's the time to get involved: 617-804-1557! #TellYourFriends #WorldsWorstPodcast

The post The Top 6 Gripes About Church Curriculum (and What to Do About Them) appeared first on Church Answers.

I'm fairly certain that I sleepwalked through this one so it should give you a great idea how much awful it is! This week I'm talking about our weekend in Las Vegas, the Red Sox, West Ham, sports owners, famous dogs and probably more. Then it's Three Gripes: Airplane bathroom floors, people in the back of the plane being allowed to exit first and magicians. It's all here, but I forgot to talk about a lot that I said I'd talk about. Go figure! #WorldsWorstPodcast #TellYourFriends

This week we are joined by translator Max Lawton to celebrate the release of Michael Lenz's Schattenfroh from Deep Vellum. But rather than focus only on this one book, we open the conversation to a wider theme: the joy of reading books that resist. These are works that don't give themselves up on a first pass, that refuse to be solved, that instead teach us how to read them as we go. With Schattenfroh as our starting point, we wander through the labyrinths of these kinds of books, asking why surrounding to the unknown might be one of the great rewards of reading.We've got some fantastic author-focused episodes lined up for the foreseeable future, and we want to give you plenty of time to dive in if you'd like to read along with us.

It's not an episode, but it's not one of the old Not An Episode episodes. It's just a fat, old loser bloviating about petty nonsense. Exciting, eh!? I complain about "unalive", license plate frames/hobbies, company culture and Cracker Barrel. It's short, stale and mostly useless, but you should listen for the hypothetical skit that only I find funny!#TellYourFriends #WorldsWorstPodcast

A shorter episode, but filled with the host yelling into the mic! This week it's a bit of sports including the Red Sox being garbage again, Dollar Bill and West Ham starting the season and reminding me that I'm a moron for investing my time in energy in them!

Listen to it if you'd like, but remember, it's mostly crap! #TellYourFriends #WorldWorstPodcast

This week, the boys grab a few beers and head back to 2018 to catch up on what was happening the year “Annihilation” came out, before diving into a discussion about re-watching Alex Garland's follow-up to his 2015 hit “Ex Machina”. Dave owns the film, John has seen it 3 or 4 times but the time lines get blurred (movie reference), and Jeff hasn't gone back since his shimmery experience in the cinema summer 2018.

AI and online learning often focus on the individual, but there are huge gains to be had from social learning – if it's done right! In this episode, Graeme and Luke give Stefan (whose work centers around social learning experience design) a good grilling. They challenge him to explain why learning with – and from – a group of peers can boost your learners' levels of comprehension and retention! How do you do it right? And how can you motivate learners to care? We answer these questions and share real examples where we've done it!

This week I'm starting off with my own tribute to the greatest of the greats, Ozzy Osbourne. I'm also talking about the Red Sox back to being garbage, training camp and pre-season actual football. I have to touch on politics because it's still too absurd, but then I get to a couple of voicemails from old friend, Mike and another from new friend, Lori in Maine. Then it's on to Three Gripes: the term “your guys's”, parents who give their kids porn star names and restaurants that think their patrons want to hear a solo acoustic guitar guy while eating. It's all entirely high brow so consider yourselves lucky for getting in on the action!

Tim and Mark ride the momentum of Hour 1, kicking off with tales about musical legend Charles Fox and Tim's dad's showbiz roots. Then it's onto the In-N-Out shuffle—owner Lynsi Snyder tries to cool the buzz about her move to Tennessee, while Tim breaks down his drive-thru order strategy. A whip-around reveals Snyder's surprising net worth, sparking a fast-food rant about the uselessness of those tiny ketchup packets. And finally, Tim shares the mystery of his missing signed photo at a restaurant—was it framed, or just forgotten?

This week, Dave is drinking again! United Airlines will do that to you, even after a 6-month hiatus. After a pair of un-stuffy mini-reviews of “Superman” (2025) and “Eddington”, the boys head back to 2003 to discuss the legendary film year. Our featured conversation is a first-time visit to “House of Sand and Fog”, the Sir Ben Kingsley, Jennifer Connelly, and Shohreh Aghdashloo film, directed by Vadim Perelman, shot by Roger Deakens, scored by James Horner, which is a powerhouse drama so powerful it nabbed two acting Oscar nominations. None of those was for Jennifer Connelly, who won for “A Beautiful Mind” the year before. Grab a beer and give us a listen! linktr.ee/theloveofcinema - Check out our YouTube page!

Recorded - 7/12/2025 On Episode 330 of the Almost Sideways Movie Podcast, Terry and Todd are joined by Adam to review the reboot attempt of the DC Universe in Superman. Then, we deep dive the controversial Best Picture winner from 20 years ago. Should Crash have won Best Picture? How has it aged over the last 20 years?

Join Opie for a wild FU Friday on the Opie Radio podcast! Kicking off with a sleepy, coffee-fueled rant, Opie dives into a cosmic journey, marveling at the Voyager probes' 48-year space odyssey, powered by plutonium and carrying humanity's disco-era time capsule. He ponders why horseshoe crabs haven't evolved in 400 million years while humans race ahead, and questions why our tech can't match Voyager's signal strength. From annoying weather forecasts to overpacked Amazon boxes, Opie and the chat tackle weekly frustrations, sprinkle in some Long Island underwater wonders, and hunt for the ultimate space song—Space Cowboy, Rocket Man, or Intergalactic? Expect laughs, tangents, and a plug for the new Opie and Carl podcast, all wrapped in Opie's unfiltered, lovable chaos. Hit that like button and join the fun!
