Aisha Hassan discusses her debut novel, When the Fireflies Dance, a moving family saga set in Lahore and the research inspired by real stories of bonded labor. In this week's episode of Book Gang, I'm excited to share my conversation with debut novelist Aisha Hassan about her first novel, When the Fireflies Dance. This moving family saga is set in Lahore and draws on real-life stories of bonded labor in Pakistan's brick kilns. The narrative follows one family's struggle for survival, dignity, and hope after the loss of their son. During our discussion, we explore Aisha's journey to publication, the intricate construction of her novel, and the important responsibility of addressing social injustices through fiction. In this informative conversation, we explore:

C'est un invité exceptionnel que nous recevons aujourd'hui à l'ISP en la personne d'Yves Saint-Geours. Yves Saint-Geours bonjour. Les mots manquent pour décrire votre parcours. Vous êtes diplomate, ancien ambassadeur et actuel président du Conseil d'administration de l'institut pasteur. Emmanuel Macron vous a par ailleurs nommé l'année dernière co-président de la commission franco-haïtienne sur la double dette haïtienne. Tout au long de votre parcours, qui a débuté dans l'enseignement, vous avez multiplié les expériences jusqu'à acquérir une connaissance unique du fonctionnement de l'Etat. Vous avez notamment été conseiller au cabinet de deux ministres des affaires étrangères, mais aussi ambassadeur en Bulgarie, au Brésil et en Espagne. Vous avez également présidé l'établissement public du Grand Palais des Champs-Elysées. Agrégé d'histoire et diplômé d'études approfondies ibériques et ibéro-américaines, vous êtes par ailleurs un fin connaisseur de l'Amérique latine. Vous avez notamment écrit « La vie quotidienne en Amérique du Sud au temps de Bolivar : 1809-1830 » chez Hachette, ainsi que « L'Amérique latine de l'Indépendance à nos jours », chez PUF. Cependant, c'est une autre de vos multiples casquettes qui nous vaut de vous recevoir aujourd'hui. En effet, vous connaissez bien le monde judiciaire puisque vous avez été désigné par le président de la République comme membre du Conseil supérieur de la magistrature, fonction que vous avez exercée entre 2019 et 2022. Pendant quatre années, vous avez donc participé à la nomination des plus hauts magistrats du monde judiciaire, sillonné la France pour aller à la rencontre des juges et procureurs dans leurs tribunaux, participé activement à la déontologie et à la discipline des magistrats et surtout – car il s'agit de la mission première du Conseil – assisté le président de la République dans la préservation de l'indépendance de l'autorité judiciaire. Encore, un autre point de votre parcours hors norme nous intéresse particulièrement et intéressera tout particulièrement ceux de nos auditeurs qui passent les concours. En effet, à l'issue de votre passage au CSM, vous avez été pendant plusieurs années le référent de l'épreuve de connaissance et compréhension du monde contemporain du concours d'entrée à l'Ecole Nationale de la magistrature. Dit plus prosaïquement, la dissertation de culture générale du concours de l'ENM, c'est vous ! Vous êtes la personne qui se cache notamment derrière le sujet de 2023 « être citoyenne et citoyen aujourd'hui » et celui de 2025 « Les océans et les mers ». Yves Saint-Geours, nous avons mille questions à vous poser, en vous remerciant tout d'abord à nouveau d'avoir accepté de répondre à l'invitation de l'ISP.

Près de 10 ans après son émergence, le mouvement MeToo a libéré la parole des femmes sur les violences sexuelles, mais également remis en cause les relations hommes-femmes. Partout dans le monde, la condition masculine est questionnée non sans tension.  Comme un boomerang, l'émancipation des femmes a fait ressurgir des discours masculinistes et des réflexes machistes de la part de certains hommes. Sur les réseaux sociaux et les forums, ils se revendiquent en homme fort, viril, dominant et accusent les femmes d'être la cause de leur problème. De l'autre côté du spectre, de nouvelles masculinités émergent, des modèles où la vulnérabilité, l'écoute, le soin auraient toute leur place chez un homme, ouvrant ainsi des brèches dans l'imaginaire viriliste. Entre héritage patriarcal, discours masculinistes, nouvelles attentes sociales, comment se construire en tant qu'homme à l'ère post MeToo ? Quels impacts sur les relations hommes-femmes ? Comment élever des garçons sans reproduire des modèles de domination ?  Avec : • Estelle Ndjandjo, journaliste et présentatrice de la chronique Voisins connectés, diffusées chez 8 milliards de voisins.   Et nos invitées :  • Mouhamadou le Prof, professeur des écoles dans le Val-de-Marne, personnalité des réseaux sociaux, auteur de Mouhamadou, le prof : 50 histoires vécue (Hachette 2024) • Annvor Seim Vestrheim, autrice du livre Les Incels, du clic à l'attentat (Les éditions du remue-ménage, 2026).   En fin d'émission, la chronique de Jennifer Lufau :  Jennyfer analyse des nouvelles figures masculines noires dans la fiction : Miles Morales, Chidi (The Good Place), Omar Sy (Lupin), Michael B. Jordan. Des personnages qui proposent d'autres manières d'être homme, loin des archétypes dominants.     Programmation musicale :  ► Les garçons ne pleurent pas – DINOS   ► Bacari - Malha.

Jeffrey Epstein était un pédocriminel avec des relations dans de très nombreux cercles : politiques, économiques artistiques et intellectuels. Le financier a été retrouvé pendu en prison en 2019, sans avoir pu être jugé pour avoir monté un réseau d'exploitation sexuelle de très jeunes filles.  Avec la publication de 3 millions et demi de nouveaux documents, vendredi dernier (30 janvier 2026) par le ministère américain de la Justice, l'affaire Epstein éclabousse bien au-delà des États-Unis. Outre les crimes sexuels, elle révèle l'impunité des puissants.   Avec nos invités :  - Pierre Gervais, professeur de Civilisation américaine à l'Université Sorbonne nouvelle, auteur du livre Histoire des États-Unis de 1860 à nos jours. Éditions Hachette éducation - Tristan Cabello, politologue, historien spécialiste des États-Unis, maître de conférence à l'Université Johns Hopkins à Washington. 

Dans cet épisode, j'échange avec l'autrice Alice Doublier autour d'un sujet qui nous concerne directement toutes les deux : l'hyperproductivité en écriture.Pression de produire, peur de ralentir, angoisse, suivi d'une fatigue créative et d'une perte du plaisir d'écrire… À partir de nos expériences respectives, nous questionnons cette injonction au toujours-plus et la nécessité d'apprendre à trouver un rythme d'écriture soutenable, qui permette de durer sans s'épuiser. Parce que l'écriture n'est pas un sprint, mais un marathon. Alice Doublier, que vous pouvez retrouver sous compte instagram @dontforgetdoublier est une autrice, dont trois romans sont parus ces derniers années : Elles et le Feu aux éditions Hachette, Tropes aux éditions Bragelonne, La fille de la Faucheuse aux éditions Auzou, et dont le nouveau roman, Le secret de l'herboriste vient de paraître aux éditions Slalom.

Glenn Viel était attendu depuis longtemps dans CHEFS.Trois étoiles Michelin, chef de L'Oustau de Baumanière, figure incontournable de Top Chef, il est aujourd'hui l'un des visages les plus exposés de la gastronomie française. Mais derrière cette image de chef “winner”, il y a une histoire bien plus complexe.À l'occasion de la sortie de son livre « Cuisine d'un cancre » (éditions Hachette), Glenn Viel revient longuement sur son parcours : celui d'un élève en difficulté, d'un adolescent qui ne rentre pas dans les cases, et qui trouve dans la cuisine un terrain d'expression, de dépassement et de revanche sur lui-même.Dans cet épisode, il raconte sans détour ses débuts, son rapport au travail, à l'effort, à la discipline, mais aussi cette énergie qui le pousse à ne jamais se satisfaire de l'existant. Même au sommet, il continue d'avancer avec la même devise, qu'il répète souvent : “On ne lâche rien.”On parle de cuisine bien sûr, de compétition, de transmission, de pression, de notoriété aussi. Mais surtout de mentalité, d'endurance, et de cette capacité à transformer les failles en moteur. Glenn Viel raconte comment il construit, jour après jour, une cuisine engagée, collective, tournée vers l'avenir, sans jamais renier le plaisir ni l'exigence.Un épisode dense, sincère, parfois rugueux, qui donne à entendre un chef qui n'a jamais cessé de se battre — et qui a fait de cette combativité une force pour guider ses équipes, nourrir sa créativité et bâtir une trajectoire hors norme.Pour découvrir l'univers de Glenn Viel, c'est par ici !

Depuis quelque temps, on assiste à une sorte de révisionnisme sur les crimes du 7 octobre qui se sont déroulés en Israël, à la frontière avec Gaza. On voit même des tentatives de les justifier à lueur des crimes de guerre, comme une forme de relecture de l'histoire. Le scandale est né à bas bruit, et puis a fait boule de neige jusqu'à remonter au sommet de l'État. Il s'agit d'un manuel Hachette qui assimilait les victimes israéliennes du Hamas à des "colons juifs". Des lignes éditées dans un livre scolaire de révision de baccalauréat. Ruth Elkrief se demande qui a écrit ce résumé lapidaire et fallacieux ? Qui l'a relu ? Une génération entière d'étudiants et d'enseignants va-t-elle être influencée par ce discours ? Selon Pascal Perri, l'immigration est une chance pour la France, si elle était correctement orientée. Il rappelle que chaque année, il manque 100 000 jeunes pour répondre à la demande de postes à pourvoir. Ce déficit annuel tend à se stocker jusqu'à arriver à un phénomène d'empilement. Il souligne aussi que le solde naturel dans le pays a été négatif en 2025. Ce qui signifie, selon des spécialistes, que la population ne peut croître que par l'immigration. "Nous avons une immigration plutôt familiale qui consomme des prestations sociales, là où le pays aurait besoin d'actifs qui paient des cotisations sociales", explique-t-il. Abnousse Shalmani se demande : où l'Union européenne a-t-elle encore une importance et de l'influence dans le monde ? Cette communauté d'États européens se présente comme championne de l'État de droit et de droits humains. L'UE traverse actuellement une sévère crise de crédibilité. Elle prend l'exemple de l'Afrique où les Russes et les Chinois ont pris la main. "L'Europe doit se restructurer si elle veut avoir une puissance géopolitique", souligne-t-elle. Du lundi au vendredi, à partir de 18h, David Pujadas apporte toute son expertise pour analyser l'actualité du jour avec pédagogie. Hébergé par Audiomeans.

Since the dawn of the twenty-first century, the West has been in crisis. Social unrest, political polarization, and the rise of other great powers—especially China—threaten to unravel today's Western-led world order. Many fear this would lead to global chaos. But the West has never had a monopoly on order.Surveying five thousand years of global history, political scientist Amitav Acharya reveals that world order—the political architecture enabling cooperation and peace among nations—existed long before the rise of the West. Moving from ancient Sumer, India, Greece, and Mesoamerica, through medieval caliphates and Eurasian empires into the present, Acharya shows that humanitarian values, economic interdependence, and rules of inter-state conduct emerged across the globe over millennia. History suggests order will endure even as the West retreats. In fact, the end of Western dominance offers us the opportunity to build a better world, where non-Western nations find more voice, power, and prosperity. Instead of fearing the future, the West should learn from history and cooperate with the Rest to forge a more equitable order.

Son parfum de beurre et d'agrumes imprègne les souvenirs de générations d'Italiens et du monde quand l'année touche à sa fin. Ce gâteau de pâte levée, à la mie filante régale du petit déjeuner aux veillées de fête, et il demande savoir-faire et patience pour la confectionner : 3 jours de travail entre pousses, pétrissage, façonnage et repos la tête à l'envers pour lui permettre de développer sa forme singulière, le pied cerclé de carton et le haut légèrement bombé. Le panettone est un pain du Nord, né en Lombardie, du côté de Milan au XIIIè siècle ou au XVè, bien des légendes et mystères entourent sa création. «Pan de tan» serait le pain de Toni, un garçon de la cour de Ludovico il Moro au XVè ou le «pan de ton», ce qui, en patois, voudrait dire «pain de luxe», en référence aux fruits confits qui le composent. Le panettone a inspiré bien des pains dolce, et autres gâteaux, y compris des déclinaisons et variations de panettone «régionales» en Italie et dans le monde. Il a des pains cousins que l'on retrouve à ses côtés pour les fêtes : le pandoro en forme d'étoile, un goût de vanille et d'œuf, le pan forte de Sienne en Toscane- pâtisserie très ancienne remontant au Moyen-âge également. Il est décrit comme un pain qui contient du poivre et du miel, le poivre venant du piquant des épices qui le composent.

Teachers today are genuinely time-poor. Between increasing administrative demands, constant assessment, and the rapid rise of AI, finding professional development that truly fits into a teacher's reality can feel impossible. Too often, CPD remains one-size-fits-all detached from linguistically diverse classrooms and the real challenges educators face every day. When professional learning fails to connect with practice, the impact goes far beyond wasted hours. Essential skills such as oracy, effective EAL strategies, and healthy digital habits are overlooked, contributing to teacher burnout and leaving students ill-equipped for life beyond the classroom. In this podcast episode, we speak with experts from Hachette Learning Academy about a more adaptive, teacher-led approach to professional learning one that prioritises what actually matters. Listen to the full episode to discover a powerful "hidden skill" that could matter more than reading or writing for students' future career success.

The author and actor thinks summer in Australia is done bigger, better and weirder than anywhere else. For three months of the year, life slows down and heats up. But for William, summer in Australia is an imperfect paradise where more than anything, people yearn to connect.Summer can be a hellish time in Australia, where temperatures soar and fires can turn bush and buildings to rubble in an instant.But despite the challenges, William McInnes looks upon this time of year with great affection and nostalgia.Growing up in Redcliffe, Queensland, William remembers the heat that burnt through his thongs, the strange ritual of assembling a plastic European Christmas tree on a 40-degree day, and simple moments in the sun like jumping off his dad's shoulders into the cool coastal water.Every summer connects William with his family, his childhood and his past, just like millions of other Australians on riverbanks and beaches around the country.It's a Scorcher: Tales of the Australian Summer is published by Hachette.This episode of Conversations explores seasons, heat, bushfires, Koolewong, weather forecast, drought, BOM, swimming, tennis, Australian Open, Boxing Day Test, Cricket, Ashes, book, memoir, writing, Australiana, Kitsch, climate change, nostalgia, family time, Christmas, holidays, New Year, how to survive the holidays, road trips, vacation, bikini, swimmers, togs, school holidays, parents.To binge even more great episodes of the Conversations podcast with Richard Fidler and Sarah Kanowski go the ABC listen app (Australia) or wherever you get your podcasts.

C'est à un duel au grand jour que se livrent France Télévision et Radio France et les médias du milliardaire Vincent Bolloré, la chaîne CNews, Europe 1 et le Journal du Dimanche, qui s'accusent mutuellement de partialité. Ce matin, la Tribune Dimanche braque ses projecteurs sur l'audiovisuel public. « En pleine zone de turbulences, nous dit-on, les PDG de France Télévision et Radio France seront auditionnées à partir de mercredi par une commission d'enquête parlementaire, voulue par le groupe UDR, allié du Rassemblement National ». Cette commission est chargée de « faire toute la lumière sur d'éventuels dysfonctionnements au sein du service public ».   La Tribune Dimanche publie un sondage dont elle conclut « qu'il révèle un attachement réel – transversal de gauche comme de droite – aux chaînes et stations publiques ». Mais, souligne le journal, « cet attachement n'efface pas les enjeux : un budget de près de 4 milliards d'euros, avec un déficit croissant pointé par la Cour des comptes, et des attentes fortes en matière de pluralisme, d'efficacité et de rigueur dans l'information ». Interrogé, le directeur de l'information de France Télévision Alexandre Kara, assure « qu'aucun programme n'est utilisé à des fins partisanes ». Précisions apportées après la diffusion d'une enquête de France 2, sur CNews. Enquête qui a fait couler beaucoup d'encre… « On traite tous les sujets, affirme Alexandre Kara, mais l'écho n'est pas le même ». Immigration et insécurité Le Nouvel Obs se penche lui sur le cas de CNews et de Pascal Praud, son présentateur vedette. « Pascal Praud, profession propagandiste », titre l'hebdomadaire qui détaille : « Omniprésent sur CNews, Europe 1 et le Journal du Dimanche, l'ancien journaliste sportif polarise le débat sur l'immigration et l'insécurité, jusqu'à devenir un porte-parole de l'extrême droite. Comment en est-il arrivé là ? Par conviction ou pour plaire à son patron Vincent Bolloré ? » interroge le Nouvel Obs, qui en veut pour preuve « l'accueil de VIP », réservé au président du Rassemblement National Jordan Bardella, à l'occasion de la sortie de son livre « Ce que veulent les Français ». « Vingt-six minutes, sur CNews, durant lesquelles Jordan Bardella n'est presque jamais interrompu, tandis que la couverture de son livre occupe la moitié de l'écran ». « Une interview promotionnelle en bonne et due forme », accuse le Nouvel Obs, qui ajoute : « L'accueil réservé à Bardella sert la stratégie arrêtée au sommet du groupe par Bolloré lui-même. À dix-huit mois de la présidentielle, le propriétaire de CNews, Europe 1, Le JDD ou encore du groupe Hachette s'affaire à réaliser l'union des droites, en réalité la fusion entre la droite et l'extrême droite. Seule capable à ses yeux de réagir, pendant qu'il est encore temps, au péril civilisationnel que feraient courir à la France, l'immigration, l'islam et la gauche ». Hommage douloureux M, le supplément du Monde, a assisté aux funérailles de l'un des derniers otages du Hamas. « Be'eri a fini d'enterrer ses morts », nous dit M. « Situé à 5 kilomètres de Gaza, le village a payé le plus lourd tribut humain des attaques du 7 octobre 2023, avec 102 victimes. Le 30 novembre, les funérailles de Dror Or, ont réuni plusieurs milliers de personnes ».  « Dror Or, poursuit le magazine, faisait partie des trois derniers otages défunts, encore retenus dans la bande de Gaza ». Cet homme de 48 ans avait été tué le 7 octobre 2023, et son corps avait « été emmené dans l'enclave palestinienne ». M a interrogé Sharon Shmuel, amie d'enfance du défunt. Elle explique : « Dror est le dernier de sa communauté à revenir sur sa terre, quelque chose se clôture enfin aujourd'hui ». Sont venus ce jour-là, « des proches, des familles de victimes du massacre, d'anciens otages libérés (…) des bénévoles d'associations, des anonymes, qui affluent et forment peu à peu un cercle de silence autour de la tombe de l'otage défunt », raconte M. « Sa mère et ses trois enfants désormais orphelins, son frère et ses plus proches amis clament "l'incompréhension et la douleur de la perte"(…) le drame des uns réveille celui des autres, et ravive la conscience qu'une tragédie collective s'est produite ici, il y a deux ans et deux mois ».  Une drogue bon marché Le Nouvel Obs s'intéresse aux ravages du captagon, en Syrie. « Le trafic de cette drogue de la famille des amphétamines déployé par l'ancien régime de Damas a plongé de nombreux syriens dans la dépendance », explique l'hebdomadaire, qui a visité « à Afrin, près de la frontière turque, un centre de réhabilitation, appelé le Hope Center ». Là-bas, Le Nouvel Obs a rencontré Ali. Le jeune homme de 21 ans, consomme du captagon, et explique sa situation : « J'ai détruit ma vie et fait souffrir mes proches. Je dois 7 000 dollars à ma famille. Les dealers venaient chez moi réclamer leur dû : soit je payais, soit ils me tuaient ». Ali est loin d'être le seul, qui aujourd'hui encore consomme cette drogue « bon marché ». Le Nouvel Obs cite « les anciens soldats, les étudiants, les combattants de tous bords (...) qui faute d'échappatoire, prennent des pilules pour refouler leur trauma ». 

At the very end of World War Two, Australian soldiers were sent to Borneo to dislodge the occupying Japanese Forces. The story of their brutal fighting was largely forgotten by their own compatriots, who never understood why they went in there in the first place.It was one of the largest amphibious landings of the whole war, and what followed was months of brutal fighting on an island that was both a hell and a paradise.The operation was called Operation Oboe, and it was one of the most successful military campaigns Australia has ever been a part of.But the men who fought there were never celebrated upon their return home.They were forgotten amid all the questioning of whether all the fighting and dying on Borneo needed to happen in the first place.Author Michael Veitch happened upon this forgotten story of Australians at war in the most unlikely of circumstances involving a trivia night and a grumpy older man.Borneo: The Last Campaign - Australia's brilliant, controversial end to World War Two is published by Hachette.This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggie Morris, executive producer is Nicola Harrison.It explores war, battles, history, modern history, occupation, fighting, death, grief, men at war, brothers in arms, US military, military history, Japanese, Germany, Nazis, allied forces, AUKUS, ANZAC, axis powers, Russia, General MacArthur, great war, fighting, leopards, Borneo, rubber, oil, resources, surrender, books for dad, Christmas books, history books.To binge even more great episodes of the Conversations podcast with Richard Fidler and Sarah Kanowski go the ABC listen app (Australia) or wherever you get your podcasts. There you'll find hundreds of the best thought-provoking interviews with authors, writers, artists, politicians, psychologists, musicians, and celebrities.

In this week's show Lian is joined by Jane Teresa Anderson BSc Hons. Jane Teresa is a dream analyst, dream therapist, author, podcast host, and mentor, living in Hobart, Australia. Published by Hachette, Little Brown (Piatkus), Random House, and Harper Collins, Jane Teresa Anderson is the author of seven books about dreams and dreaming, and her 2024 debut fiction novel, Ninth Life. She is a frequent guest in the media and an accomplished radio dream talk-back expert, interpreting callers' dreams for more than 1,500 shows across commercial and ABC stations. Jane Teresa hosts a long-running podcast series, The Dream Show with Jane Teresa Anderson, where she analyses her guests' dreams and shares dream interpretation tips and insights. The Dream Show celebrated 16 years (and 290 episodes) in May 2025.  With an Honours degree in Zoology specialising in developmental neurobiology from the University of Glasgow, (graduating as Jane Teresa Newton), Jane Teresa has been researching dreams since 1992 and developing and teaching dream alchemy practices (exercises) that shift perspective and reprogram unconscious limiting beliefs.  In early 2017 she established The Dream Academy as a platform to deliver her courses online. Jane Teresa's approach to dream analysis, dream therapy, and dream alchemy is based on her independent research and on deep work with clients since 1992. She consults by Zoom. In this episode, Lian and Jane look at dreams in the most grounded and personal way. Jane shares her journey from neurobiology to a radio experiment that became a major research project. They explore how dream images grow from the last day or two of lived experience, how the mind pulls old memories into the mix, and why this approach differs so deeply from symbol-driven or archetypal methods. The conversation turns towards what actually makes sense in practice… how personal dreamwork reveals what the mind is trying to update and how a symbolic image changes the moment you speak it aloud. Listen if you have ever been chased by a recurring dream, wondered whether outlandish scenes mean anything, or sensed that your dreams are trying to move something in you that daylight has not touched. We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you'll learn from this episode: How personal dreamwork differs from symbol-based or archetypal interpretation, and why it lands more cleanly Why telling a dream aloud brings new clues to the surface and begins to shift the inner pattern What happens when you rewrite a dream image through simple dream alchemy and feel the effects the next day Resources and stuff spoken about: Jane Teresa's Website The Dream Academy Join Jane Teresa on Instagram & LinkedIn Join UNIO, The Community for Wild Sovereign Souls: This is for the old souls in this new world… Discover your kin & unite with your soul's calling to truly live your myth.

' This technology isn't going to go away. We need to figure out what role it has.' George Walkley is a legend in the publishing world. Over the last three decades, and particularly at Hachette, he has not only witnessed but helped shape the digital transformation of the industry, and these days he's focused on how publishers respond to the challenges and opportunities of AI.  While the book itself has proved remarkably resilient as a technology, technology has transformed the ways in which they are written, discovered, read and published. What are the ethical and practical considerations of AI for publishers, authors and readers? And what does all that mean for George himself as he writes and considers how to publish his OWN book?  Essential listening for anyone curious about where publishing is going, and the implications for authors, plus top tips on building an audience through writing an unmissable newsletter.

Yes, you can lose weight by reducing calories whether through a calorie-cutting diet, bariatric procedure, or pharmaceutical. But the effect is almost always temporary and followed by a return of weight followed by significant downturn in health. You were also likely not advised that losing weight by cutting calories, we now know through tracking of large numbers of people over many years, likely abbreviates your life by several years. In this and future podcasts, I will be introducing concepts that block these effects, concepts that I shall be exploring in even greater depth in my new book, Super Body. **Disclaimer:**The information presented in my books, blog posts, YouTube videos, podcasts, and other content is for informational and educational purposes only.

A leading astrobiologist "demonstrates how becoming a true space-faring species is more than just humanity's future" (Adam Frank, author of The Little Book of Aliens)--it is an evolutionary event at least as important as life's first journey from sea to land The story of life has always been one of great transitions, of crossing new frontiers. The dawn of life itself is one; so, too, is the first time two cells stuck together rather than drifting apart. And perhaps most dramatic were the moves from the sea to land, land to air. Each transition has witnessed wild storms of innovation, opportunity, and hazard. It might seem that there are no more realms for life to venture. But there is one: space. In The Giant Leap: Why Space Is the Next Frontier in the Evolution of Life (Hachette UK, 2025), astrobiologist Caleb Scharf argues that our journey into space isn't simply a giant leap for humankind--it's life's next great transition, an evolution of evolution itself. Humans and our technology are catalysts for an interplanetary transformation, marking a disruption in the story of life as fundamental as life's movement from sea to land, and land to sky. Inspired by Darwin's account of his journey on the Beagle, and packed with stories from the past, present, and future of space travel, The Giant Leap thrills at both life's creativity and the marvels of technology that have propelled us into the cosmos. And it offers an awesome glimpse of the grander vistas that wait in the great beyond. Learn more about your ad choices.

A leading astrobiologist "demonstrates how becoming a true space-faring species is more than just humanity's future" (Adam Frank, author of The Little Book of Aliens)--it is an evolutionary event at least as important as life's first journey from sea to land The story of life has always been one of great transitions, of crossing new frontiers. The dawn of life itself is one; so, too, is the first time two cells stuck together rather than drifting apart. And perhaps most dramatic were the moves from the sea to land, land to air. Each transition has witnessed wild storms of innovation, opportunity, and hazard. It might seem that there are no more realms for life to venture. But there is one: space. In The Giant Leap: Why Space Is the Next Frontier in the Evolution of Life (Hachette UK, 2025), astrobiologist Caleb Scharf argues that our journey into space isn't simply a giant leap for humankind--it's life's next great transition, an evolution of evolution itself. Humans and our technology are catalysts for an interplanetary transformation, marking a disruption in the story of life as fundamental as life's movement from sea to land, and land to sky. Inspired by Darwin's account of his journey on the Beagle, and packed with stories from the past, present, and future of space travel, The Giant Leap thrills at both life's creativity and the marvels of technology that have propelled us into the cosmos.

To Australia he was a genius adman and best-selling author but behind closed doors Bryce Courtenay was a deeply flawed husband and father. His son, Adam, has tried to make sense of the lies, the ego and the heartbreak.When Adam Courtenay was growing up, he saw his dad Bryce as a hero.Bryce worked in advertising so he knew all the latest, coolest trends, and at bedtime, Bryce told Adam and his brothers amazing stories about his life in South Africa and the Courtenay family's noble origins.When Bryce went from adman to wildly successful writer with his debut novel, The Power of One, Adam couldn't have been prouder.As Adam grew older, he became aware of the gaps in the stories his father told so well, and realised just how many lies Bryce had told his family and the nation.At first, Adam tried to ignore the fables and fibs - he wanted badly to believe them because they made Bryce's storytelling so powerful.But when Adam became a writer himself, an author of historical books and a journalist, he needed to champion the truth above all else.Further informationMy Father Bryce is published by Hachette.This episode of Conversations explores novels, writing, advertising, Australiana, Australian books, memoir, father son relationships, big egos, Australian voices, Tandia, The Night Country, Whitethorn, The Potato Factory, Tommo & Hawk, Solomon's Song, Nick Duncan Saga, The Persimmon Tree, Fishing for Stars, The Milky Bar Kid, knowing your parents, marriage, fatherhood, journalism, betrayal, cancer, divorce, affairs, infidelity, public personas, modern history, literature.To binge even more great episodes of the Conversations podcast with Richard Fidler and Sarah Kanowski go the ABC listen app (Australia) or wherever you get your podcasts.

 'You need to kind of kick off this persuasive chain reaction and enlist people to the cause of your book.' In the book trade, James Spackman is known as 'The Pitch Doctor'. From an illustrious start to his career in the post room at Bloomsbury to sales, marketing and agency roles at Hachette, Osprey and now The bks Agency, his passion has always been to communicate a passion for books.  As he explains, the success of a book depends in large part of a 'chain of enthusiasm' that has to begin with the author and ultimately - hopefully - reaches the reader through a complex ecosystem of agents, editors, sales reps, marketers and booksellers. This is the art of the pitch, and because it ends with the reader, that's where the crafting of it must begin too.  In this week's conversation we discuss the fact that publishing is 'a business of persuasion rather than a meritocracy of texts', and what that means for authors. We also talk about the extraordinary route that James took to publish his own book, why measures of success are deeply personal, and why doing things your way is so damn rewarding. 

Danny Rensch grew up in the Church of Immortal Consciousness, a cult he usually refers to as ‘the Collective'. Started by Steven and Trina Kamp, the group followed the teachings of a Dr Pahlvon Duran, whose spirit first visited Trina when she was 9. In trances, she would convey the teachings of Dr Duran, whose last lifetime was lived as an Englishman in the 15th century. The group lived communally dispersed across basic housing in Tonto Village, Arizona.The Collective's small charter school, the Shelby School, became renowned for the performance of its chess team, and Danny Rensch was its star performer. By 14 he was a US Chess Federation national master, which was an Arizona state record at that age, and at 19 he was ranked first in the United States for his age, when he also achieved his first international master norm. Today he is the Chief Chess Officer and co-founder of Chess.com. In his memoir, Dark Squares: How Chess Saved My Life, out on 6 September and available now for pre-order, Danny delves into this part of his story for the first time.Links:Dark Squares: How Chess Saved My Life — by Danny Rensch, Hachette, September 2025Chess.com — With Danny Rensch's profile and statisticsIf you have been personally affected by involvement in a cult, or would like to support those who have been, you can find support with or donate to Cult Information and Family Support if you're in Australia (via www.cifs.org.au), and you can find resources outside of Australia with the International Cultic Studies Association (via www.icsahome.com).

How did ordinary people live in Tudor England? This unique history unearths the ways they died to find out.Uncovering thousands of coroners' reports, An Accidental History of Tudor England: From Daily Life to Sudden Death (Hachette UK, 2025) explores the history of everyday life, and everyday death, in a world far from the intrigues of Hampton Court Palace, Shakespeare's plots and the Spanish Armada. Here, farming, building and travel were dangerous. Fruit trees killed more people than guns, and sheep killed about the same number as coalmines. Men stabbed themselves playing football and women drowned in hundreds fetching water. Going to church had its dangers, especially when it came to bell-ringing, archery practice was perilous and haystacks claimed numerous victims. Restless animals roamed the roads which contained some potholes so deep men could drown, and drown they did.From bear attacks in north Oxford to a bowls-on-ice-incident on the Thames, this book uses a remarkable trove of sources and stories to put common folk back into the big picture of Tudor England, bringing the reality of their world to life as never before. *trigger warning, podcast discussion includes death and accidents. Author: Steven Gunn is a Fellow and Tutor in History at Merton College and Professor of Early Modern History at the University of Oxford. Host: Dr. Kristen Vitale Engel is an Associate Fellow at the Royal Historical Society. She is the Editor-in-Chief of "The Court Observer" for The Society for Court Studies, the Submissions Editor for the Royal Studies Journal and the International Ambassador for HistoryLab+ in partnership with the Institute of Historical Research.
