Podcasts about Gulliver

Gulliver wants to travel to the finish line to Beat Migs. Tune in to find out.

To conclude our readings from the Blue Fairy Book, we warmly present the second part of a trilogy of episodes retelling 'A Voyage to Lilliput.Adapted from the first book of Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift, in this one Gulliver goes to war, stealing fifty war ships in a single afternoon of swimming - but trouble soon starts to rear its head.Because Gulliver, unwilling to enslave the Blefuscudians, finds the Emperor of Lilliput now wants to blind him and starve him to death...If you are unfamiliar with the Lang Fairy Tales, these seminal collections were assembled between 1889 and 1913 by a married couple, folklorists and translators Nora and Andrew Lang, with most of the work done to compile them completed by Nora, also known as Leonora Blanche Alleyne.Assembled and published in 12 colour-coded "Fairy Books," the corpus the Langs put together included 798 fairy tales from across cultures, many of which had never before been translated into English.They were amongst the most influential books of their time, changing the course of children's literature - although they're hardly just for children, and often deal with quite challenging concepts.Today, purchasing a complete set of the Lang Fairy Books in good condition costs over £4,000 ($5,000+).Thankfully, the collections are all out of copyright, meaning that we can now tell these stories, in podcast form, many for the first time, and share them with a global audience, for free.Our plan is to release the stories between main series of Three Ravens, performing them straight (though with plenty of silly voices) letting the tales speak for themselves in all their madcap, sharp-edged, often quite bizarre glory.The only edits we have made are to amend some culturally-insensitive epithets, which typically pertain to ethnicity, with any such edits made by Eleanor Conlon.Three Ravens is an English Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on one of England's 39 historic counties, exploring the history, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more. Then, and most importantly, the pair take turns to tell a new version of an ancient story from that county - all before discussing what that tale might mean, where it might have come from, and the truths it reveals about England's hidden past...Bonus Episodes are released on Thursdays plus Local Legends episodes on Saturdays - interviews with acclaimed authors, folklorists, podcasters and historians with unique perspectives on that week's county.With a range of exclusive content on Patreon, too, including audio ghost tours, the Three Ravens Newsletter, and monthly Three Ravens Film Club episodes about folk horror films from across the decades, why not join us around the campfire and listen in?REGISTER FOR THE TALES OF SOUTHERN ENGLAND TOURProud members of the Dark Cast Network.Visit our website Join our Patreon Social media channels and sponsors Hosted on Acast.

Telekom-Chef Timotheus Höttges fordert einen schnellen Abbau der Bürokratie in Deutschland und in der EU. „Wir fühlen uns manchmal wie Gulliver, der von Millionen von Fäden festgebunden ist und seine Kraft nicht entfalten kann“, sagt Höttges im Gespräch mit Michael Bröcker.Höttges sieht auch Probleme bei der Produktivität. Als Beispiel führt er an, dass deutsche Arbeitnehmer pro Jahr „200 Arbeitsstunden weniger arbeiten als der europäische Durchschnitt“.Die Telekom investiert Milliarden in neue Rechenzentren. Den Anfang macht die neue KI-Fabrik in München. Gemeinsam mit Vertretern von Nvidia, SAP, der Deutschen Bank und der Bundesregierung stellt die Telekom ihre Pläne heute vor. „Über 70 Prozent der gesamten Rechenzentrenkapazität sitzt heute in Amerika. Und nur fünf Prozent in Europa, der Rest in Asien und vor allem China.

Il vous est peut-être déjà arrivé de croire qu'un sigle avait été choisi pour sa signification précise — avant d'apprendre que, paradoxalement, c'est l'inverse. C'est le principe de la rétroacronymie, un phénomène linguistique à la fois amusant et révélateur : on crée un acronyme à partir d'un mot déjà existant, en inventant après coup des mots censés le justifier.Par exemple, le mot « avion », inventé par Clément Ader à partir du latin avis (oiseau), a été interprété de manière erronée comme « Appareil Volant Imitant l'Oiseau Naturel ». De même, les spas proviennent de la ville de Spa, et ne signifient pas Sana Per Aquam (la santé par l'eau).Autre cas fameux : le nom du moteur de recherche Yahoo!, présenté comme l'acronyme de Yet Another Hierarchical Officious Oracle. En réalité, ses créateurs, deux étudiants de Stanford, avaient d'abord choisi le mot « Yahoo » parce qu'il sonnait bien et évoquait le personnage rustre et énergique des Voyages de Gulliver de Jonathan Swift. Le sens technique a été plaqué ensuite.La rétroacronymie peut aussi servir à renforcer l'image d'une marque ou d'une institution. Par exemple, le sigle SOS n'a jamais voulu dire Save Our Souls ou Save Our Ship. Il a été choisi à l'origine uniquement pour sa simplicité en morse (· · · — — — · · ·). Ce n'est que plus tard qu'on lui a attribué cette signification héroïque, plus facile à mémoriser.Ce mécanisme illustre un trait fascinant du langage : notre tendance à chercher du sens, même là où il n'y en avait pas à l'origine. Les mots deviennent plus forts, plus mémorables, quand ils paraissent logiques. La rétroacronymie répond donc à un besoin psychologique : elle donne une apparence de cohérence à ce qui n'en avait pas.Une notion proche est celle de l'étymologie populaire : quand une expression change de forme ou de sens parce que les locuteurs la réinterprètent selon ce qu'ils croient entendre. Par exemple, « chou-fleur » vient du latin caulis floris (tige fleurie), mais d'autres mots comme « beaupré » ou « chausson » ont été transformés au fil du temps par des associations d'idées fausses mais séduisantes.Rétroacronymie ou étymologie populaire, ces deux phénomènes rappellent une chose essentielle : le langage n'est pas figé. Il vit, se raconte, et surtout, il s'invente des histoires pour mieux se souvenir de lui-même. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

Tonight's reading comes from Gulliver's Travels. Written by Jonathan Swift and published in 1726, this satirical tale follows Lemuel Gulliver through a series of fantastical lands, offering sharp reflections on society and human nature.

What does Gulliver's Travels have to do with the development of the modern education system? Why does classical scholarship see renewed interests in periods of philosophical interest?

You know what I love about real entrepreneurs? They don't make noise - they make moves. Meet Gulliver Giles and Leesa Cosgrove. While most people were still figuring out their business model, these two were building something extraordinary. And they just shared their entire $100M playbook with me. WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER: → How they dodged a $750K loss right before COVID hit → The "acquisition bender" that turned dying businesses into gold mines   → Why Leesa can pack 3,500 people in a room (it's not "energy" BS) → The psychological reason everyone's broken post-COVID → Why Dan Kennedy's methods still crush in 2025 → The difference between real wealth and guru theater THE BACKSTORY: 2012, Frank Kern's mastermind. Most of us got stung by stingrays surfing. These two went back to the hotel, had drinks, and planned what became one of the most profitable high-ticket operations on the planet.

Carla Montero se mueve como nadie por los años 30 y 40 del siglo pasado, años en los que el mundo estaba en permanente cambio, asomado siempre al abismo. Pocas como la autora madrileña han sabido contar las historias pequeñas de personajes grandes alrededor de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Y en esta oportunidad ha elegido, como siempre, una historia muy original: la de las mujeres pioneras en el mundo del motor, mujeres que eran capaz de desafiar e incluso ganar a los hombres en la línea de meta. La dama de la niebla es el título de la novela, que ha publicado Destino.Nos metemos en la cama con algunos escritores, para descubrir sus rarezas sexuales. ¿Sabéis que el autor de Los viajes de Gulliver tenía fobia a tocar a las mujeres o que Dickens perdió la virginidad a los 24 años? Y también intentamos explicar por qué Philip K. Dick era un paranoico.En la sección de Audiolibros, la exitosa novela negra de Sandrone Dazieri, No está solo, donde el escritor italiano nos presenta a sus dos grandes personajes, Colomba y Dante, una singular pareja de investigadores. Y entre las últimas novedades llegadas a las librerías, Isaac Rosa.

L'émission 28 minutes du 22/09/2025 Entrez dans le monde joyeusement effrayant de la Petite boutique des horreurs Un soir de pleine lune, un jeune employé d'un petit magasin de fleurs minables achète une nouvelle plante permettant un nouvel âge d'or à son commerce. Plante carnivore ayant le besoin vital de se nourrir de sang humain, elle deviendra cependant l'objet de tous ses tourments. Voici "La petite boutique des horreurs", film de Roger Corman, sorti en 1960, devenant dans les années 1980 une comédie musicale à succès à Broadway. En France, l'œuvre est d'abord adaptée par Valérie Lesort et Christian Hecq à l'opéra Comique de Paris en 2022. Puis les metteurs en scène ont décidé d'une nouvelle interprétation sous la forme d'une pièce de théâtre au théâtre de la Porte Saint-Martin à l'occasion de cette rentrée, jusqu'au 23 novembre 2025. La monstruosité et le fantastique : c'est ce qui semble unir ce duo, partenaires à la vie comme sur les planches. Parmi leurs créations communes, multi-récompensées : “La Mouche”, “Le voyage de Gulliver”, ou encore “20 000 Lieues sous les mers”. lls sont nos inséparables invités.Après les coups de semonce, l'heure de la désescalade entre Donald Trump et Xi Jinping ? En février dernier, Donald Trump amorçait la guerre commerciale mondiale dont il avait tant rêvé. Trois mois plus tard, les tarifs douaniers explosent avec comme principale cible la Chine : plus 145 % de taxes douanières imposées sur les produits chinois importés aux États-Unis. Xi Jinping répond à son tour avec 125 % de taxes sur les biens américains importés  en Chine. La guerre commerciale n'avait jamais été aussi intense entre les deux plus grandes puissances mondiales. Mais, cet été, les deux pays sont parvenus à une trêve commerciale avec une baisse considérable des tarifs douaniers. Vendredi, les deux chefs d'États ont même échangé au téléphone sur plusieurs sujets comme le dossier TikTok. Un accord aurait été trouvé sur la vente de la branche américaine de la plateforme. Un compromis bien loin de la loi votée sous Joe Biden pour interdire TikTok aux États-Unis. Alors assiste-t-on à une vraie désescalade entre les deux puissances ?Enfin, Xavier Mauduit nous emmène au Rwanda suivre les Mondiaux de cyclisme, la plus grande compétition sportive de son histoire. Marie Bonnisseau revient, quant à elle, sur l'improbable succès international de la sardine. 28 minutes est le magazine d'actualité d'ARTE, présenté par Élisabeth Quin du lundi au jeudi à 20h05. Renaud Dély est aux commandes de l'émission le vendredi et le samedi. Ce podcast est coproduit par KM et ARTE Radio.

In a world defined by seemingly intractable conflicts, great power competition, and rising challenges posed by climate change, nuclear proliferation, and economic uncertainty, the United States often seems like a modern-day Gulliver tied up and constrained by powers large and small and at times by its own politics and illusions.   How does the United States advance its national interests in the face of these challenges, particularly against the backdrop of bitter divisions and polarization at home?   Join Aaron David Miller as he sits down with William J. Burns, former director of the CIA and former president of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, as he looks back on decades of national security challenges and ahead to what defines effective U.S. leadership in such a complex and fast-paced world. 

Brian, Dan, and Gavin continue their discussion of the Maxi-Mini-Month slate of Kerwin Matthews-starring adventure films. In Part 2 of their conversation, they discuss the knockoff Harryhausen film Jack the Giant Killer. Join as they discuss Brian's connection to the film and the inspiration it brings to his own work, the TV flavor (one childhood favorite show of Dan's in particular), the historical and cultural basis for the story, the "kitchen sink" approach to effects, the annoying Leprechaun, and the bizarre musical adaptation. Then, they each rate all three films.

In Part 1, they discuss The 7th Voyage of Sinbad and 3 Worlds of Gulliver, two films featuring stop-motion effects from Ray Harryhausen and giant and/or small people. Join as they discuss their history with Harryhausen, swashbuckling films, genie rules, the Star Wars prequel films, unusual baby names, and more.

In a fit of spite, Professor Kozlowski condenses his discussion of landmark British political philosophers Hobbes and Locke - forerunners of the American constitution - into a single joint lecture. We'll compare and contrast the two states of nature proposed by these thinkers, examine their divergent attitudes toward the authority of government, and root their philosophical conclusions in the tumultuous history of the English Civil War.Hooray for English philosophers - no translations necessary for these texts! Here are the Project Gutenberg texts of Hobbes' Leviathan, and Locke's Second Treatise Concerning Government.Additional readings for this lecture include some more 17th-century English classics: Bacon's scientific Utopia, New Atlantis; Milton's epic masterpiece, Paradise Lost; and Swift's satirical classic, Gulliver's Travels. Finally, for my video gamers, I recommend the colonization-based management sim/city builder Anno 1404 (it may not be the most period-appropriate game in the series, but I think it is the best mechanical representation of this era without the industrialization mechanics of Anno 1800).If you're interested in Professor Kozlowski's other online projects, check out his website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠professorkozlowski.wordpress.com

Impossible de rater ce géant de fête foraine, c'est un passage obligé de l'exposition qui fait couler beaucoup d'encre. C'est Gulliver de passage en Suisse. Le Gulliver inventé par Jonathan Swift au XVIIIe siècle pour critiquer la société britannique. Au cours de ses voyages extraordinaires, Gulliver débusquait les paradoxes et les dysfonctionnements de sa propre civilisation. Un dispositif de satire repris pour la Suisse en 1964, par Charles Apothéloz et ses complices. Avec : Alexandra Walther, autrice de La Suisse s'interroge ou l'exercice de l'audace, paru aux éditions Antipodes, Olivier Lugon, historien, spécialiste de l'histoire des expositions et François Vallotton, historien tous deux co-directeurs de l'ouvrage Revisiter l'Expo 64 : acteurs, discours, controverses.

Álvaro Enrigue and critic Maia Gil'Adí begin their conversation considering translation as a living process, one that is internal to the novel form. Álvaro, author of the trippy You Dreamed of Empires (Riverhead, 2024), explains how the opening letter to his translator Natasha mirrors the letter to his editor, Teresa, in Spanish, and how both letters become part of the fiction. Fitting for a novel that crosses Nahua and Mayan, Moctezuma and Cortés, Mexican history and the glam rock band T. Rex. The English translation—which Álvaro calls the book of Natasha—is longer, filled with changes and additions and revisions, and so translation becomes “another life for the book.” From the living book to its contents, Maia asks how You Dreamed of Empires blends the gorgeous and the grotesque, slapstick humor and extreme violence, historical detail and mischievous metafictional departures. Álvaro links his work to Season 9's theme of TECH by pointing out the novel's longstanding use as a tool to laugh about the powerful, to tell them that what they're saying is not true, and to articulate politics through contradiction and humor. After discussing the encounter of Moctezuma and Cortés (or really, of their translators, including a very magical bite of cactus) as the moment that changes everything in history, Álvaro makes a surprising historical swerve in his answer to this season's signature question.
