Podcasts about Haruki Murakami

20 mars 1995. Det är en vanlig hektisk morgon i Tokyos tunnelbana. Runt om i staden kliver fem män i ansiktsmasker och solglasögon ombord på varsina tåg med paket inslagna i tidningspapper. Strax innan klockan åtta, när tågen rullar in på sina nästa stationer, punkteras paketen och en färglös vätska rinner ut. Sekunden senare börjar människor hosta och snart kollapsa.Detta är berättelsen om Saringasattacken i Tokyo - när en domedagssekt utförde japans dödligaste terrorattack.Inläsare: Ellen NorbergResearch och manus: Carl HaegerFaktagranskning: Linn EkRedaktör: Alex HaegerKlippning och ljuddesign: Evelina FernerudProducent: Oliver BergmanExecutiv Prodcent: Victoria RinkousKällor:“Underground” av Haruki Murakami https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p02mbgg7 https://www.stimson.org/wp-content/files/file-attachments/atxchapter3_1.pdf https://www.theguardian.com/world/1995/mar/21/japan.martinwalker1 https://www.ebsco.com/research-starters/biography/shoko-asahara https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/backstories/3864/ https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20260310_14/ https://www.ksat.com/news/world/2025/03/20/30-years-after-deadly-tokyo-subway-gassing-survivors-and-victims-families-still-seeking-closure/

Send us Fan MailSend us Fan MailIn 1982, having sold his jazz bar to devote himself to writing, Murakami began running to keep fit. A year later, he'd completed a solo course from Athens to Marathon, and now, after dozens of such races, not to mention triathlons and a dozen critically acclaimed books, he reflects upon the influence the sport has had on his life and—even more important—on his writing. Equal parts training log, travelogue, and reminiscence, this revealing memoir covers his four-month preparation for the 2005 New York City Marathon and takes us to places ranging from Tokyo's Jingu Gaien gardens, where he once shared the course with an Olympian, to the Charles River in Boston among young women who outpace him. Through this marvelous lens of sport emerges a panorama of memories and insights: the eureka moment when he decided to become a writer, his greatest triumphs and disappointments, his passion for vintage LPs, and the experience, after fifty, of seeing his race times improve and then fall back. By turns funny and sobering, playful and philosophical, What I Talk About When I Talk About Running is rich and revelatory, both for fans of this masterful yet guardedly private writer and for the exploding population of athletes who find similar satisfaction in running.Link for 20% discount on Caffeine Bullet  https://caffeinebullet.com/RUNNINGBOOK Discount automatically applied and visible on checkoutSupport the showAny feedback or suggestions on this review or any of our other podcast episodes would be greatly welcomed.

Við fræddumst um verkefnið Fimmta hvert barn sem UNICEF hefur verið að vinna með yfir 800 börnum á Íslandi. Það er myndlistarsýning í Hörpu sem varpar ljósi á þá hrikalegu staðreynd að fimmta hvert barn í heiminum býr við afleiðingar stríðs og átaka. Sýningin stendur til 3.maí og þær Sigyn Blöndal kynningarstjóri og Birna Þórarinsdóttir framkvæmdastjóri UNICEF komu til okkar í dag og sögðu okkur betur frá. Helga Lára Þosteinsdóttir safnstjóri RÚV kom svo til okkar í dag með gullmola af safni RÚV. Rúgbrauðsgerðin er almennt heiti á húsinu Borgartúni 6, en það var reist árið 1947. Í innslagi dagsins, sem tekið var upp fyrir þáttinn Heyrt og séð þann 24.ágúst árið 1947, segir Jónas Árnason aðeins frá þessu nýja stórhýsi sem hýsti mjög metnaðarfulla framleiðslu á rúgbrauði, hrökkbrauði og sultu. Seinni hluti umfjöllunarinnar snýr að Nýborg, aðalútsölustað Áfengisverslunar ríkisins við Skúlagötu. Á þessum tíma var áfengi afgreitt yfir borðið. Helga Lára sagði okkur nánar frá og við heyrðum þessi hljóðbrot frá liðnum tíma. Og lesandi vikunnar í þetta sinn var Guðrún Helga Halldórsdóttir búðareigandi og stundakennari við japönskudeild HÍ. Hún er stödd í Kyoto í Japan og vegna mikils tímamunar hringdum við í hana snemma í morgun og tókum spjallið upp. Við forvitnuðumst aðeins um hana og af hverju hún er stödd í Japan og svo sagði hún okkur auðvitað hvaða bækur hún hefur verið að lesa undanfarið og hvaða bækur og höfundar hafa haft mest áhrif á hana í gegnum tíðina. Guðrún talaði um eftirfarandi bækur og höfunda: Dagar mínir í Morisaki bókabúðinni e. Satoshi Yagisawa í þýðingu Ugga Jónssonar Kjörbúðarkonan e. Sayaka Murata í þýðingu Elísu Bjargar Þorsteinsdóttur Svo talaði hún um áhrif Haruki Murakami á sitt líf. Tónlist í þættinum í dag: Síðasti móhítóinn / Sigurður Guðmundsson, Memfismafían og Tómas R.

Nesta edição da Prescrição Cultural, exploramos a linha ténue entre a genialidade e o bem-estar pessoal. Analisamos a cinebiografia de Michael Jackson, que serve como um estudo de caso sobre como a pressão estética extrema e o isolamento social podem fragilizar a integridade biológica e psíquica. Na literatura, destacamos o ensaio "Do que eu falo quando falo de corrida", de Haruki Murakami, que apresenta o exercício como uma meditação ativa e alicerce para a resiliência mental. Para encerrar, a sonoridade sofisticada do novo álbum de Anitta, "Equilibrium", convida à maturidade e à desconexão necessária após um dia de trabalho intenso.Afya News.

Haruki Murakami said "Death is not the opposite of life but a part of it."    Loss is an inevitable part of life. It could be the loss of a pet, the end of a relationship or loss of a loved one, the loss of a friend, the loss of a child, the loss of a parent or even our health.   No matter the kind of loss, it is never easy. It leaves a yawning crevasse inside our soul. Even if we recover, it's an unfilled pause to our life, a hiatus which often remains one. At such times, to have someone beside us, someone who does not bring words, but just presence, a hardened softness, cool as breeze, with a depth that is not gravitas but air, someone who tells us that all relationships are sand, and finally sand in the wind.   As Rob Liano said - "The sorrow we feel when we lose a loved one is the price we pay to have had them in our lives.”   If you liked this poem, consider listening to these other poems on death and the ways we move on -  The Final Goodbye (or Why Lovers Decide to Die Together) An Epitaph Made of Light & Air I Love You Subscribe to my newsletter 'The Uncuts' Follow me on Instagram at @sunilgivesup.

10. aprīlī pulksten 19 Liepājas koncertzālē "Lielais dzintars" un "Klasikas" tiešraidē festivāla "Baltijas mūzikas dienas 2026" koncertā "Kairos / Chronos. Liepājas Simfoniskais orķestris" pasaules pirmatskaņojumu piedzīvos Ilonas Breģes jaundarbs "Up-Time", kā arī Jāņa Petraškeviča opuss "Candela", bet jau šobrīd abus komponistus uz sarunu aicinājusi Anna Veismane, lai uzzinātu par laika jēdziena aktualitāti un radošajiem impulsiem viņu dzīvē. "Laiks ir liela vērtība un viena no visdārgākajām lietām uz zemes," uzskata Ilona Breģe, kura atzīst, ka komponēšana lielākoties viņai saistīta ar iegrimšanu sevī. Simfoniskās tokātas "Up-Time" iedvesma atnākusi brīdī, kad 2023. gadā Latvijas hokejistu izlase izcīnījusi bronzu, tāpēc skaņdarbs piesātināts ar pozitīvu enerģiju. Tikām Jānis Petraškēvičs atklāj, ka opusā "Candela" radošais impulss nācis no rakstnieka Haruki Murakami izteiksmes skaidrības, ar kuru jūt spēcīgu saikni. Arī dualitāte laika jēdzienā viņam tuva, jo patīk vērot un analizēt, tāpat kā to dara Murakami. Sarunas noslēgumā Jānis atzīst, ka esot prieks šajā koncertā būt daļai no Baltijas mūzikas, ar kuriem kopīga pieredze un draudzīgas attiecības.  *** Mēs dzīvojam citos laikos. Vienā brīdī viss skrien – ziņas, darbi, termiņi, satiksme, attēli ekrānos. Un tad pēkšņi pienāk mirklis, kad laiks it kā apstājas: skaņā, klusumā, atklāsmē. Senie grieķi šos divus laika veidus sauca par "Chronos" un "Kairos". Šis koncerts dzīvo starp abiem šiem stāvokļiem – laiku, kas mūs nes uz priekšu, un apstādinātu mirkli, kuram Fausts lūdz: "Tu esi tik skaists! Jel kavējies!" Programma "Kairos / Chronos" aicina klausītāju ceļojumā starp šiem stāvokļiem – kaut kur pa vidu rītausmas gaismai un transam, fragmentācijai un nepārtrauktai pulsējošai kustībai, iekšējam satricinājumam un ceļu rādošai rīta zvaigznei. Visi trīs jaundarbi, kas šajā koncertā piedzīvos pasaules pirmatskaņojumu - gan Jāņa Petraškeviča "Candela", gan Ilonas Breģes "Up-Time", gan arī Dominika Digima "Per Sense", dzimuši tieši šim laikam un vietai, ļaujot mums būt lieciniekiem laikmetīgās mūzikas rašanas mirklim. Pirmais stāsta par laternu, kas izgaismo pazemes tumsu, otrajā dzirdēsim daudzu laiku klātesamību vienkopus, tiem nerimstoši traucoties nākotnē, bet trešais ir Kairos paraugstunda. "Kairos / Chronos" nav koncerts, kurā laiku mēra minūtēs. Tas ir koncerts, kurā laiku piedzīvo – kā plūsmu, kā uzplaiksnījumu, kā gaismu un ēnu. Un varbūt tieši tā mēs šodien varam nonākt tuvāk tam, ko nozīmē dzīvot citos laikos.

In this episode, Phil and JF discuss Haruki Murakami's “Cream,” from First Person Singular, alongside Jorge Luis Borges's classic tale, “The Garden of Forking Paths.” Together, these two stories occasion a meditation on time, perplexity, and the strange possibility that meaning isn't found at the end of the maze, but discovered only in the course of wandering it.

In this week's edition of Singletrack News, we break down a major development in the UK trail running scene after Ourea Events - the organizers behind races like Dragon's Back, Cape Wrath Ultra, and the Northern Traverse - announced they are ceasing trading, putting several iconic races in jeopardy and leaving athletes uncertain about the future of some of the sport's most ambitious point-to-point events.We also discuss confusion surrounding UTMB's new broadcast partnership with FloSports. After speculation online that UTMB races could move behind a paywall, organizers clarified that the UTMB Live stream will remain free, with FloSports serving as a simulcast partner in the United States.Elsewhere, we dig into UTMB's 2026 live broadcast schedule, which includes 10 races across the World Series - but notably excludes Golden Ticket events like Chianti and Canyons.We also cover:UTMB CEO Fabrice Perrin raising concerns about “ambush marketing” in trail runningThe debut of the Big Alta 100K in Marin HeadlandsPreviewing the Chianti by UTMB Golden Ticket battleCourtney Dauwalter lining up at Tenerife Blue Trail as an early season testNike recruiting ultrarunners for a 15-week research residency at the Nike Sports Research LabAnd our content picks of the week, including a conversation between Harry Styles and Haruki Murakami on how running fuels creativityPartners:Precision Fuel and Hydration - use code SINGLETRACK at checkout for 15% off your next orderNorda - check out the 005: the lightest, fastest, most stable trail racing shoe ever madeRaide - Making equipment for efficient human-powered movement in the mountains Janji - premium trail running apparelKodiak Cakes - my favorite oatmeal and pancakes Support the show

In Episode 218, Sarah chats with Enneagram author, speaker, and podcaster Sarajane Case about Reading Through the Enneagram. After a brief introduction to the Enneagram and how it differs from other personality systems, they dive into how Enneagram types show up in our reading lives — from guessing an author's type to rethinking our own habits as readers. Sarajane walks through the nine types, shares a book recommendation for each, and offers her own personal picks.

Host Meg Wolitzer presents two stories by the extraordinary Japanese writer Haruki Murakami that demonstrate the breadth of his emotional imagination over a career of 35 years.  In an early story, “The Window,” a professional letter-writer recalls an intimate encounter with a woman, and a hamburger steak.  The reader is Mike Doyle.  In the later story, “Kahu,” read by Jennifer Ikeda, a woman goes on a blind date, only to be blindsided. Both stories were recorded at the Japan Society in New York City, as part of an ongoing collaboration with Selected Shorts. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Welcome to the DSTE Christmas Spectacular!! There's no Joe or Jono this week so Sam takes over hosting duties and is joined by JT and Ste to talk all things games, TV, and film + books this week. We have a Christmassy catch up before JT's new section Joe-Schmo Rage Baiting'! We also take a quick look at the new Street Fighter film trailer, the 2026 reboot directed by Kitao Sakurai and starring Noah Centineo as Ken and Andrew Koji as Ryu. Ste gives his obligatory World of Tanks update, the enduring armoured warfare MMO, and talks with JT about playing The Outer Worlds 2. This much-anticipated sci-fi RPG sequel from Obsidian Entertainment just launched this October, taking players to the new star system of Arcadia. JT played the new Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 game as we discuss the blatant rinse and repeat nature of COD (yet it's still fun) and the campaign (or lack of) vs. online gameplay. The pod has an in depth discussion around how games are priced and marketed around free game models with season pass/DLC. We then drop into Sam's Steam Deck Corner, where he's revisiting Trials Evolution, the 2012 physics-based racer from RedLynx. Next, we open Ste's Book Club to discuss Frank Herbert's 1965 sci-fi epic Dune and a Haruki Murakami marathon covering the melancholic Norwegian Wood (1987), the metaphysical Kafka on the Shore (2002), and the dystopian epic 1Q84 (2009). JT sits us down to tell us all about The Chair Company, the new HBO comedy-thriller from Tim Robinson about a man who uncovers a corporate conspiracy after his chair collapses during a presentation. We also test our Duolingo language skills by watching foreign TV shows: Schlag Den Star, the long-running German celebrity competition; Deutschland 83, the stylish 2015 Cold War spy thriller; and One Cut of the Dead, the ingenious 2017 Japanese meta-zombie film by Shin'ichirō Ueda. Sam covers The Beast In Me, the new Netflix psychological thriller starring Claire Danes and Matthew Rhys, and we chat about the massive Netflix vs. Paramount bids for Warner Bros. Discovery, as the streaming giants fight over the future of HBO and the DC Universe. The feature film this week that is unquestionable a Christmas Film - Jingle All The Way, the 1996 holiday classic starring Arnold Schwarzenegger on a desperate quest for a Turbo-Man action figure.

John Ross, during his schoolboy days in New Zealand, was interested in far-flung places such as South America, Papua New Guinea, Ancient Greece and Rome, as well as books on World War One and Two. He read a lot of youth fiction starting at 10 years old, but as a teenager, had a voracious appetite for nonfiction. In his 20s he discovered a few wonderful fiction writers, but has still kept mostly to nonfiction through the decades.His first books were Willard Price's Adventure series and Gerald Durrell books on real-life animal collecting. He also read detective and war stories (Biggles) and lots of travel accounts and travel guides.Robert Louis Stevenson was a favorite—Treasure Island, Kidnapped—and later discovered that Stevenson was a very good essayist too. John also enjoyed Rudyard Kipling's Kim.The ancient Greeks left a great impression on him: Herodotus (The Histories) and Thucydides (The Peloponnesian War)In his early 20s he started reading proper literature:Anna Karenina, Dr Zhivago, George Orwell, and Joseph Conrad. He loved Peter Hopkirk's The Great Game series featuring colorful adventurers and spies in exotic locations. In his early 30s he discovered Raymond Chandler and in his 40s H.P. Lovecraft.For books on Asia and East Asia, he started reading about Burma in the late 1980s, and early 1990s, and Mongolia in the mid-1990s, and increasingly China and Taiwan, and even some works on Japan.Some well known book titles that made an early impression were Lost Horizon by James Hilton, Burmese Days by George Orwell, The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck, and Jonathan Spence's China books. Also books on Asia by Maurice Collis.Amy's ReadingAs a child, Amy remembers reading Black Beauty (Anna Sewell, 1877), Walter Farley's series The Black Stallion (1941), and a book called Ponies Plot (Janet Hickman, 1971). She loved all the required reading for school (some books now banned): English literature such as Graham Greene's Brighton Rock, Shakespeare's plays, and lots of Roald Dahl, including Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and James and the Giant Peach; and American authors John Steinbeck (1930s–1950s), J. D. Salinger's Catcher in the Rye (1951), Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter (1850), Harriet the Spy by Louise Fitzhugh (1964) and A Separate Peace (1959) by John Knowles. She recalls that in first grade, her teacher read to the class Little Pear (1931), by Eleanor Francis Lattimore, about a Chinese boy.From her parents' book collection she read Little Women, by Louisa May Alcott (1868), and  Wuthering Heights (1847) Emily Bronte as well as stories by Charlotte Bronte and other classics.In college she moved into more popular literature, again much of it required reading for her classes: works by Thomas Pynchon, Jerzy Kosiński, Blind Date (1977) and The Painted Bird (1965) the latter of which—notably—had a scene on bestiality and would probably be banned as college reading these days!.In high school, her father paid her to read books, and she vividly remembers excerpts from Henry Hazlitt's The Foundations of Morality (1964), which still influences her choices in life today. She credits her father's books for her interest in philosophy and a basic understanding of free-market economics.Once she knew she was headed to Japan, she read Edwin Reischauer's  The Japanese Today (1988), and Japan as Number One, by Ezra Vogel (1979) which were her first books to read about Asia (other than Shogun). For most of her childhood she preferred non-fiction and didn't start reading fiction seriously till she arrived in Japan and read Haruki Murakami. Now she reads everything!At the end of the podcast Amy & John encourage listeners to write in to ask for suggestions on what books on Asia to give friends or family. They'll choose one to talk about at the end of each show with appropriate suggested reading.

 "When I heard Miyu's recording of cicadas, I was brought back to humid late summers in Japan — where I lived for two years in the mid-aughts — particularly the time around the Obon festival, when, traditionally, the veil between the living and the dead is said to be at its thinnest.  "Cicadas, in a synesthetic way to me, are the sound of that veil shaking in a hot breeze, the static cling of the cosmic curtain, and there's a shiver to be savoured hearing them crackle and seethe as you climb the forested steps to the shrine that overlooks your neighborhood and pass through the red torii gate, half-hoping to be transported to some liminal, Twin Peaks by way of Haruki Murakami spirit lodge, but settling contentedly for a choco-banana from a festival vendor before the sweaty walk home." Cicadas in Niigata, Japan reimagined by Casey Broadwater.

Phil Vine reviews Super-Frog Saves Tokyo by Haruki Murakami, published by Penguin Random House.

Amy Chavez has a deep discussion with Ted Goossen about Japan, it's emerging culture, it's historically strong women and how Japanese literature and its themes, are changing. In addition to talking about Hiromi Kawakami's novel The Third Love, other mentioned in this podcast episode are feminist Chizuko Ueno, translator John Bester and authors Kanzaburo Oe, Tatsuhiko Shibusawa, Masuji Ibuse and Mieko Kawakami. Goossen is currently reading books by Ruth Ozeki, and short stories by various authors. One older book that made an impression on him was The Anatomy of Dependence by psychologist Takeo Doi, which examines the idea of dependency in relationships among the Japanese.   The Books on Asia Podcast is co-produced with Plum Rain Press.

Episode Notes In this episode, Rami and Shannon discuss Haruki Murakami's memoir, 'What I Talk About When I Talk About Running,' exploring themes of discipline, creativity, and the relationship between physical endurance and mental resilience. They delve into the importance of consistency over motivation, the connection between physical health and mental work, and the acceptance of limitations while focusing on the process rather than the outcome.

It's time to step outside your literary neighborhood! This episode is a celebration of the human spirit as seen through the lens of world literature. Host Danny takes you on a tour across the globe, sharing ideas and excerpts from diverse works to highlight two incredible truths: that our core human experiences are strikingly similar, and that our cultural expressions of them are endlessly fascinating. From the magical realism of Latin America to the postcolonial voices of Africa, this journey will expand your world and your reading list.

 Hello to you listening in Ellsworth, Maine!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga.Long ago in China there were cities surrounded with towering walls and magnificent gates. The gates let people in and out of the city but more importantly the gate was the place where the soul of the city resided. How do you build such a gate?People would collect the bleached bones of warriors from the old battlefields and carry them back to the city where they were sealed inside the newly constructed gate. The hope was that the long dead warriors would protect the city in exchange for being remembered. When the gate was finished it was sprinkled with the blood of a specially chosen animal because it was believed that adding blood to the dead bones would bring the souls of the warriors back to life. [Inspired by Sputnik Sweetheart, by Haruki Murakami  published 2001 - pages 15 to 16]Writing your story is much like this. To begin gather together the bones of the story for shape and structure. But a story is organic; it needs a soul to live and breathe. Invoke the "sorcery of stories" to link the world of your words with the world of your imagination and you'll create the soul of your story.Story Prompt: Where might the soul of your story reside? What will bring it to life? Write that story! And tell it out loud! Practical Tip: The magic of stories is also in the sharing. If you wish share your story with someone or something.  All that matters is you have a story.You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!" Speaking of magic, I hope you'll subscribe, share a 5-star rating and nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, bring your friends and rellies, and join us!

Real Life This week's episode is stacked—like a plate at Boar & Barley (Ben barely survived, oh God). Speaking of Milwaukee, Devon had some things to say, and Steven dove into Rick and Morty season 8 on HBO—has the quality shifted? Plus, Marvel's Thunderbolts snuck its way into the convo. Future or Now  Devon brought us back to the Bob-verse world with Dennis E. Taylor's Flybot. He called it “enjoyable” (which is Devon for a glowing review). Near-future tech, asteroid mining, eco-terrorists, and a scrappy AI robot pieced together from spare parts—this one's a cozy puzzle-box of sci-fi. We also asked: is this “Casual Sci-Fi”? “Cozy Sci-Fi”? Someone trademark that. Ben, meanwhile, shouted “Star Trek? Hell yeah, brother” and broke down Noah Hawley's almost-made Star Trek film that would've tied directly into The Next Generation. Read more here. Steven brought his A-game with Alien: Earth episode 5—he swears it's the best Alien movie in a long time. High praise. Book Club  Patron Renee joined us! She told us about her latest comic-con adventures and stuck with us for the whole episode (you love to see it). This week we read “Bears Discover Fire” by Terry Bisson—a story that scooped up basically all the awards back in the early '90s (Hugo, Nebula, Sturgeon, Locus, Asimov's Readers, you name it). It feels like something straight out of Haruki Murakami—quiet, strange, and deeply human. Oh, and yes, we did wonder aloud: what if it was Banthas Discover Fire?
