Catholic schools can change whole families—but only if we preach it. Fr. Mark Hamlet joins Deacon Mike on how pulpit invitations open doors for the poorest households. Fr. Hamlet—founder of Our Kids at Heart—shares his path from corporate executive to husband and father of six, widower, and priest, and the moment that launched a scholarship effort for underserved children. You'll hear how Catholic schools do more than educate: they evangelize parents, stabilize homes, heal generational wounds, and strengthen parish life when pastors invite families explicitly from the ambo. He offers practical steps for parishes and donors, why affordability and accompaniment matter, and what signals real renewal. If you're a pastor, educator, parent, or advocate, this is a call to act: if we don't preach Catholic education, the poor won't know it's possible.

Grandson of Mary Boleyn. Cousin to Elizabeth I. Patron to Shakespeare's company. On 8 September 1603, George Carey, 2nd Baron Hunsdon, died, leaving a legacy that runs from court politics to the playhouse. Some even whispered he was Henry VIII's grandson. Rumour or not, Carey stood right behind the stage that gave us Hamlet, Henry V and more. I'm historian and author Claire Ridgway. In today's “On This Day,” meet the steady court insider who helped shape the English Renaissance, from border forts and the Isle of Wight to the Lord Chamberlain's Men. What you'll learn: Carey's Boleyn roots & royal connections Missions to Scotland and a knighthood at Berwick (1570) Roles that kept him close to Elizabeth I (Marshal of the Household, JP, Constable of Bamburgh, Captain of the Isle of Wight) How he supported the fleet during the Spanish Armada Why becoming Lord Chamberlain (1596) mattered to Shakespeare's troupe Honours (KG, Privy Council) and his late-life legacy under James I The enduring rumour about Tudor blood in the Carey line If you enjoyed this, please like, subscribe, and ring the bell for daily Tudor stories.

AUGGIE SMITH AKA THE T-1000 IN STUDIO!! With Peacemaker Season 2 Episode 3 now out, James Gunn Man Of Tomorrow Announced, Greg Alba sits down with legendary actor Robert Patrick (James Cameron's Terminator 2: Judgment Day) for a candid, career-spanning conversation. Visit https://huel.com/rejects to get 15% off your order We get into the many T2 restorations (theatrical vs 4K/3D re-release, what version he recommends, screening it at Cameron's studio during Avatar work), theatrical culture today, and how Patrick's craft evolved from the Roger Corman days through The Sopranos (David Chase), The X-Files (Agent John Doggett), Cop Land, Walk the Line (James Mangold), and beyond. He opens up about fatherhood, faith, and building flawed men with humanity (from Peacemaker's Auggie Smith in S1 to the very different Auggie of Peacemaker Season 2), plus on-set stories of John Cena's insane work ethic, ad-lib prep, and learning instruments. We also touch on early movie memories with his dad (2001: A Space Odyssey, Sean Connery's James Bond), acting process (prep vs spontaneity, Benedict Cumberbatch's Hamlet), working alongside Sylvester Stallone (Tulsa King), Harrison Ford, and Joaquin Phoenix, and why storytelling is the ultimate empathy machine. If you love Terminator 2, DC's Peacemaker, prestige TV, and acting deep dives, this one's for you.

To be (in this movie) or not to be (in this movie)... that is the question Robin Williams must ask himself as he joins back up with Kenneth Branagh for a short and quick role in his 1996 epic cinematic adaptation of William Shakespeare's Hamlet.

This episode of Across The Margin: The Podcast presents an interview with Sean Enfield, an essayist, poet, bassist, and educator from Dallas, TX. Currently, he resides in Milwaukee, WI where he is a PhD candidate at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. He received his MFA in Creative Writing from the University of Alaska-Fairbanks where he served as the Editor-in-Chief of Permafrost Magazine. Now, he serves as an Assistant Nonfiction Editor at Terrain.org. His essays have been nominated for three Pushcarts and he was featured on NPR's All Things Considered as a finalist for their Three Minute Fiction contest. His debut essay collection, Holy American Burnout!, — the focus of this episode — was the runner-up for the Ann Petry Award, a finalist for The Megaphone Prize, a finalist for River Teeth's Literary Nonfiction Book Prize, and is available now. Threading his experiences both as a Texan student and later as a first-year teacher of predominantly Muslim students at a Texas middle school, Holy American Burnout! weaves personal essay and cultural critique into the historic fabric of Black and biracial identity. In it, Enfield intersects examinations of which voices are granted legitimacy by virtue of school curriculum, the complex relationship between basketball and education for Black and brown students, his students' burgeoning political consciousness during the 2016 presidential campaign, and cultural figures ranging from Kendrick Lamar to Hamlet. These classroom narratives abounding in Holy American Burnout! weave around Enfield's own formative experiences contending with a conflicted biracial family lineage, reenacting the Middle Passage as the only Black student in his 7th grade history class, and moshing in both Christian and secular hardcore pits. As Enfield wrestles with the physical, mental, and emotional burdens that American society places on educators, students, and all relatively conscious minorities in this country, he reaches for an education that better navigates our burnt-out empire.

FOLLOW RICHARD Website: https://www.strangeplanet.ca YouTube: @strangeplanetradio Instagram: @richardsyrettstrangeplanet TikTok: @therealstrangeplanet EP. #1246 Unmasking the Bard: The Shakespeare Authorship Conspiracy What if the greatest playwright in history wasn't the humble glove-maker's son from Stratford, but a nobleman with access to forbidden ancient texts? In this mind-bending episode of Strange Planet, we unravel the Shakespeare authorship mystery with Dr. Earl Showerman. Drawing from his book Shakespeare's Greater Greek, Showerman exposes how the plays echo untranslated Greek epics and tragedies—like Aeschylus' Oresteia in Hamlet—knowledge impossible for the official Bard. Could Edward de Vere, the 17th Earl of Oxford, be the true genius? We dive into clues from medicine, law, and court life that shatter the 400-year myth, challenging everything you learned in English class. Prepare to question the canon! GUEST: Dr. Earl Showerman is a Harvard-educated physician and retired emergency medicine specialist who now applies his diagnostic expertise to literary enigmas. Author of Shakespeare's Greater Greek, he argues that the Bard's works reveal deep knowledge of ancient Greek sources unavailable in English during Shakespeare's time, pointing to Edward de Vere as the likely true author. A leading voice in the Shakespeare authorship debate, Showerman has presented his research at conferences and in scholarly journals, bridging medicine, classics, and Elizabethan history.

⁠BUY THE ALBUM HERE! ⁠Alright, this week we're drinking the blood from Oedipus's eyes with returning guest and friend of the show, the great Russell Sbriglia to talk about his new album ⁠Critique of Pure Desire⁠ which, according to Ryan Engley, sounds like if King Crimson were throwing an Eyes Wide Shut party. The album is a psychedelic mix of philosophy, psychoanalysis, literature, and film through Slavoj Žižek, Lacan, Hegel, Hitchcock, Melville, Antigone, Hamlet, Poe, Blade Runner, Chopin, La Jetée…and even features guest vocals from Žižek himself.We're talking the critique of pure desire, the strange logic of retroactivity, failed interpellations, hysterics, the split within the law, and future histories…Russ is Associate Professor of English at Seton Hall, co-editor with Slavoj of Subject Lessons, editor of Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Literature but Were Afraid to Ask Žižek, and the band Misconstruity.Big thanks to Russ — and if you're quick, the first two listeners to email zizekandsoon@gmail.com will get a copy of the album.And yes, Tim is still away…last I heard he reckoned that he's being followed by a chorus of old men who keep lamenting his decisions and spoiling the plot of his life…however I want to take this chance to say that Tim's first book has just been published with Palgrave: A Lacanian-Hegelian Perspective on Peace and Conflict Studies. It's now out in the world and you should all check it out. Congrats, Tim. Extra fish-head soup for you!⁠GET TIM'S BOOK HERE!⁠See you in Paris, Ž&…

Odd sequence of events allowed me to see Jennifer today.  As she notes in the podcast - someone booked a session which prevented me from seeing her - and then when the day wore on, someone couldn't do their session with Jennifer - so we got together. There's some really mind bending information here.  Jennifer tells the story of her son losing his wallet and passport, credit cards - and then dreaming about where they were, and going out at 4 in the morning and finding them. Luana Anders, our moderator on the flipside shows up to talk about a party going on - and the screenwriter, my former boss Robert Towne comes forward to talk about the new book "She Was Never Lost: the Amelia Earhart Saga." I worked with him for three years, and remained pals with him for the rest of his life.  He became a fan of our work together and had a number of sessions with Jennifer where he was able to communicate with his mother, father, and dog Hira.  (Search that name on our podcast site for some mind bending conversations.) Then on a whim, I asked Robert who surprised him on the other side - and he said (again) it was seeing Will Shakespeare.  So I asked Will some questions about the ending of Hamlet.  Funny answers. Then, because of a mention of William Blake - I asked to speak with a poet named Allen. I met him in 1996 at a concert for Tibet House in New York City.  I was standing by myself in the VIP room (I had traveled with Robert Thurman to India at that time, later we went to Tibet together).  But this poet named Allen came over to speak to me - and I wondered why that was. It's a fun answer he gives. Jennifer had no idea who he was, or his pal Jack, or his pal Lawrence.  Also was curious about the poet Walt Whitman because many compared Allen to him.  Marilyn Monroe stopped by to admonish people for judging others for how they look.  Amelia Earhart stopped by to say again how much she likes this new book of mine, Robert said that there's going to be a 'part two' with regard to the book - (we'll see) and Luana pointed out that the story Jennifer told about finding her son's wallet is related to "opening one's mind up to allow for the answer to come forward." This is pretty much what Jennifer and I have been doing for over ten years. Talking to people offstage and learning new information from them. Enjoy!

Okay you hosers, so welcome to our podcast. So today we're gonna chug a couple cold ones, put on our tuques and watch as comedy titans Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas take their beloved characters from television and comedy albums to the big screen in The Adventures of Bob and Doug McKenzie: Strange Brew! While it would have been perfectly acceptable for them to do their small screen schtick on the big screen and call it a movie, this ambitious duo instead decided to cast themselves as Rosenkrantz and Guildenstern in a brewski-themed remake of… Hamlet? Join Paul, Javier, and the ever sober Producer Brad as they brave the dark corridors of the haunted Elsinore Brewery, where the cyber-ghost of a murdered patriarch cries out for justice from a haunted coin-op video game console as the evil Brewmeister Smith - played by Ingmar Bergman regular Max Von Sydow in prosthetic buck teeth - plots to take over the world using mind-control beer and hockey-playing stormtroopers! Can our hapless duo stop this evil plot?

Data-Driven B2B Growth in 2025: Insights from Hamlet Azarian of Azarian Growth AgencyIn this episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur, Josh Elledge talks with Hamlet Azarian, CEO of Azarian Growth Agency, about how B2B companies can accelerate growth in 2025 using real-time data, AI integration, and signal-based marketing strategies. Hamlet explains how his team helps founder-led startups and mid-market companies break through revenue plateaus by aligning marketing and sales processes with timely, personalized outreach. This conversation reveals the specific tactics, tools, and mindset shifts businesses need to stay competitive in today's fast-changing landscape.Leveraging Signals, AI, and Authenticity for Sustainable GrowthHamlet emphasizes that the traditional, linear sales funnel is being replaced by signal-based marketing, where businesses act on real-time indicators like industry news, contract awards, or leadership changes within target accounts. This approach enables highly relevant outreach that improves conversion rates and strengthens relationships. Azarian Growth Agency uses platforms like Clay, combined with CRMs such as HubSpot or Salesforce, to capture and act on these signals efficiently.Beyond signals, Hamlet shares how his agency has been “AI-first” since 2020, embedding artificial intelligence into marketing and sales workflows for everything from prospect research to content creation. By building “core files” containing brand guidelines, customer personas, and case studies, AI outputs remain accurate, on-brand, and strategically aligned. Human oversight ensures AI acts as a co-pilot, not a replacement, preserving quality and authenticity.For SaaS founders, Hamlet recommends a founder-led social media strategy to generate excitement and credibility before launch. By openly sharing the product journey—including both wins and challenges—leaders can build trust, encourage audience engagement, and create anticipation. Combined with Azarian Growth Agency's selective onboarding process and complimentary exploratory audits, this authenticity-driven approach sets the foundation for long-term, sustainable growth.About Hamlet AzarianHamlet Azarian is the CEO of Azarian Growth Agency, a B2B marketing consultancy specializing in data-driven growth strategies.

Before Shakespeare's Hamlet, there may have been another… Written by a man history almost erased. On this day in Tudor history—15th August 1594—playwright Thomas Kyd was buried in London, aged just 36. In his short life, he wrote The Spanish Tragedy, one of the biggest theatrical hits of the Elizabethan age—performed 29 times at the Rose Theatre and published in 11 editions, more than any of Shakespeare's plays at the time. But Kyd's meteoric career ended in scandal. Kyd was imprisoned, possibly tortured, and his health was ruined. And then there's the tantalising mystery—did Thomas Kyd write the now-lost Ur-Hamlet, the play that inspired Shakespeare's masterpiece? Join me, historian and author Claire Ridgway, as I uncover the life, works, scandals, and enduring influence of one of Elizabethan theatre's most important—yet overlooked—figures.

Tune in to hear some of the stories of his legendary career, including his memorable audition for DEATH OF A SALESMAN, a harrowing experience onstage during THE SPEED OF DARKNESS, improvising during rehearsals for A FEW GOOD MEN, how he became the youngest honorary member of the D'Oyly Carte Theater Company, why Lynn Redgrave was perfect for SAINT JOAN, working with Arthur Miller on his final play FINISHING THE PICTURE, the challenges of performing with Quentin Tarantino in WAIT UNTIL DARK, why Len Cariou was a perfect co-star for him, how he chose to play the title role in HAMLET on Broadway, what Gerald Schoenfeld taught him about the Tonys, the genesis of his solo show BEYOND GLORY, how that play led to his role in AVATAR, and so much more. Don't miss this candid conversation with a star of stage and screen.

Send us a textWelcome to Celebrate Creativity - Episode 431 - Yesterday and TomorrowI mentioned that it was necessary to have a list of name signs when signing a play by William Shakespeare in an earlier podcast episode.  And I want to say a final note about that here.  What I always did when interpreting a play at the black fires Playhouse, I printed a sheet on my computer with ready set go - I doubt that anybody remembers that - a page making program where I could have eight or 10 pictures of various cast members and the name sign that I had given to that character. Obviously there wouldn't be enough room to have name signs for all the characters, but I would definitely have name signs for say major characters like Romeo, Juliet, or Hamlet. I took about 10 minutes at the beginning of the play to introduce the name signs of the major characters, but found that you couldn't always depend on every member of the deaf audience to be there on time. So This was especially a big help for deaf people who might've come in late.  And I always printed enough to give a copy of the name signs to members of the cast - they always appreciated it and said they would put it in their scrapbook. I have found - no outstanding observation here - but it is always a good idea to stay on good terms with the cast and director.  I remember one time the director of a play was introducing me to a group - he said this is George Bartley - he is greatly beloved by our cast - I thought to myself, this is the first Time I have ever been called beloved - I've been called stubborn many many times - but never beloved.Thank you for experiencing Celebrate Creativity.

Send us a textWelcome to Celebrate Creativity Episode 429  Playing with LanguageSnce the auditory characteristics of a Shakespearean play (such as puns and meter) are outside the frame of reference of a Deaf audience, puns can be shown in “plays on signs,” instead of “plays on words.”  Meter can be communicated though smooth and regular signs – the jerky interpreter who is searching for words cannot convey the inner stresses and beats in a line of text.  Instead of “rhythm in spoken language over a period of time,” the concept of meter can be communicated through “grace in space.”  Clear and flowing signing is the Deaf equivalent of articulate and smooth speaking in hearing actors.Rhetorical Devices: Balancing ShakespeareASL lends itself well to the expression of certain rhetorical devices.  While the interpreter and actors should never over emphasize the use of rhetoric, the principles involved in several of the classic figures of speech can inform an ASL translation and even make it clearer.  Schemes of balance, for example, take on a new dimension in ASL.  In parallelism with two elements, there is a similarity of structure in related words, phrases, or clauses.  The elements can be visually expressed by signing the first item of a series on one side of the body, and the second on the other side of the body.  ASL can use the concept of spatial relationships to show that the two elements are on the plane and balanced concepts.  The eyes see “the whole picture,” so a signer can use more than one sign concurrently.  For example, in Hamlet's  “to be or not to be” (The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, 3.1.17) soliloquy, the antithetical concepts of “life” and “death” can be signed at the same time – adding a new dimension to Hamlet's weighing two alternatives. Thank you for experiencing Celebrate Creativity.

What if, instead of just watching Hamlet, you could step inside the prince's mind? A revelatory new audio production reimagines Shakespeare's iconic tragedy as a first-person experience told through Hamlet's POV. We only hear the scenes in which he appears—every soliloquy becomes an inner monologue, every whisper a voice in our ears. With stunning binaural sound design by Tony Award–winner Mikhail Fiksel and an intimate, close-mic performance by Daniel Kyri (“Chicago Fire”) as the Prince of Denmark, Hamlet is transformed into a deeply personal journey through grief, paranoia, memory, and resolve. The six-episode podcast of Hamlet is produced by Make-Believe Association, an audio storytelling group based in Chicago. The production, which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in June, includes performances by John Douglas Thompson as Claudius (and the Ghost), Sharon Washington as Gertrude, and Jacob Ming-Trent as Polonius. In this episode, director Jeremy McCarter shares how technology unlocked new layers of intimacy and urgency in Shakespeare's play—and why, more than 400 years later, Hamlet's questions still resonate. >>>Listen to Hamlet at hamlet.fm or wherever you listen to podcasts.

We're diving deep into some unexpected connections this week. What do a 425-year-old Shakespeare tragedy and James Gunn's new Superman movie have in common? More than you might think—especially regarding fathers, sons, and the weight of living up to impossible expectations.We'll also mark the 100th anniversary of the Scopes trial verdict and explore how little (and how much) has changed since then. Spoiler alert: the fundamentalists now have their own political party and unlimited funding.Plus, we're talking about what it means to be a good father in public life—from Obama to Biden to... well, let's just say the contrast is stark. And yes, we're absolutely here for Hunter Biden's recent truth-telling tour, much to the horror of certain political consultants who think Democrats should be nicer to anti-immigrant bigots.Oh, and wait until you hear what Arkansas is doing with taxpayer money while ranking 43rd in education. It's not pretty.Fair warning: this one gets into some heavy territory about character, legacy, and what happens when revenge meets redemption.

Chris Paul and Burning Bright dive deep into The Northman, exploring its grim aesthetic, Norse mythology, and literary roots in the legend of Amleth, the same myth that inspired Shakespeare's Hamlet. They dissect the movie's portrayal of fate, trauma, and identity, examining how the protagonist becomes a tragic vessel for vengeance after being spiritually and emotionally programmed by his father's deathbed ritual. With nods to MK Ultra, paganism, and berserker myth, the hosts question whether Amleth ever had free will or was doomed from childhood. They contrast the film's brutal worldview with Tolkien's mythic optimism and explore the cultural shift from rooted moral frameworks to modern-day spiritual voids. The discussion expands to themes of slavery, regime control, and historical parallels, culminating in a sharp critique of pagan ritualism in both ancient and modern forms. This is one of the darkest and most complex entries in the Story Hour series, unflinching in its dissection of narrative, power, and spiritual warfare.

Can reading King Lear help us rethink economic policy? Can Measure for Measure shape how we talk about justice, or Hamlet help us face grief? That's the idea behind an ambitious project at Montreal's McGill University called Reimagining Shakespeare, Remaking Modern World Systems. Led by Laurette Dubé, professor emerita of management, and Paul Yachnin, professor of Shakespeare studies, the initiative brings together experts in economics, health policy, AI,  and robotics, with theater and literary artists and humanities scholars, to explore how Shakespeare's plays can help us think more humanely—and creatively—about the systems we inhabit. In this episode, Dubé and Yachnin discuss how Shakespeare's theater created a space where money, power, and empathy intersected—and why those same plays may hold insights for addressing today's most complex challenges, reminding us of how the humanities can help us build a better future.
