Podcasts about High life

"Phantom Heartbeat" is for anyone who's ever loved someone so deeply that their absence still echoes through every moment. It's for the brokenhearted, the dreamers clinging to memories, and those haunted by what once was. This song speaks to the feeling of holding on when you know you should let go, a tribute to the kind of love that never truly leaves, even when the person does.

HIGH LIFE ist ein Film, der mich beim Schauen (und beim Podcast direkt danach) überfordert und mich oft orientierungslos zurückgelassen hat. Claire Denis erzählt eine Geschichte, die auch in einem abgelegenen Krankenhaus oder auf einer Gefängnisinsel spielen könnte: Neun Strafgefangene werden zusammengesperrt, eine fanatische Ärztin versucht, aus dem Sperma und den Eizellen der anderen Insassen im Brutkasten ein Kind zu "erschaffen". Nur ist das Gefängnis ein schuhschachtelförmiges Raumschiff, das auf ein Schwarzes Loch zutreibt. Ein optisch oft sprödes Kammerspiel um Fruchtbarkeit und Gewalt, Einsamkeit, Schuld und Elternschaft. Eher Theater als Science-Fiction, mehr Szenen als Handlung. Ohne das Etikett "Science-Fiction" und der damit verbundenen Erwartung, hätte es HIGH LIFE bei mir leichter gehabt. Im Podcast direkt nach dem Film sprechen wir über bedrückende Gewaltausbrüche, über Robert Pattinson und Juliette Binoche, Low-Tech-Ausstattung und über fragmentarische Dramaturgie - und streiten etwas darüber wie wichtig die Ambitionen der Künstler:innen sind.

Series: "Give Us Life - Revival" - Hosea 5-6 / When we experience true revival, we have corrected thinking about just who God is and what He expects of us. That realization gives us a new perspective on life and how we live it. Crawford Loritts says we need to “get back in the high life again.” Join our study.

The 79th film in the A24 catalog is Gloria Bell starring Julianne Moore. Gloria Bell is a remake from a 2013 Chilean film named "Gloria," and is about a middle-aged divorcee at a transition period in her life. Gloria meets a man named Arnold (portrayed by John Turturro) at a modern 70s disco bar. This new love interest seems to have promise, before Gloria starts noticing his kids control his life, while Gloria is navigating her own relationship with her kids. Directed by Sebastian Lelio, the same filmmaker who directed the Chilean movie, the A24 rocks crew debates if the film is "too slice of life" and if the remake was worth making only 6 years later.

On this special A24 vibe discussion to celebrate Easter, we belt out JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR with Musical Theatre Professional Kandra Harper. A musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber, Jesus Christ Superstar was originally a theatre musical that premiered in 1971 and found massive success, thus leading to the production of the 1973 film. It contains 70s rock opera stylings and all the tell-tale signs of an Andrew Lloyd Webber classic. What will the A24 Rocks crew and guest Kandra think of the 1973 film? Did it do the musical justice? And what will they have to say about the controversy surrounding this film on the week of Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection?

Being a Christian in a secular world isn't always easy is it? You might even see the conflict between righteousness and worldliness on the job every day. The temptations are everywhere. But, as we'll see in our study today, Christians are supposed to set themselves above the ways of the world. It's a lofty goal, but one that is certainly not beyond our reach.

Fran joins Howie and Scully in the King Room to discuss how drinking a High Life at BJ's Lounge can help restore the wetlands. She shares how she once feared the "boogey man" of coastal erosion while growing up in south Louisiana. But she channeled that into action and by college she and a couple friends decided to fight back by developing their own nonprofit glass recycling company which is now producing millions of pounds of sand per year.  She explains how climate change apathy may be worse than climate denialism, what it's like to do a TED talk, the origins of the Bar Wars initiative of which BJ's is a competitor, and how she may never escape her trademark pink hair highlights.  Sabine McCalla provides two hot live tracks from her band's November 22, 2025 performance and BJ's.

Tell us what you think!Growing up in the heart of Texas, John McDaniel faced more challenges than most can imagine, from being born a stillborn to surviving harsh realities on the streets at a tender age. But through grit and determination, John has transformed these adversities into a life of resilience and success. In our conversation, he shares candid stories from his upbringing in Stephenville, his journey through Tarleton State, and the significant impact of law enforcement work in Amarillo. John's journey is a testament to perseverance, as he shares the difficult choices and transformative experiences that led him from a troubled childhood to becoming a respected figure in business coaching and motivational speaking.Our discussion takes unexpected turns as John recounts his adrenaline-fueled days in law enforcement, navigating the streets of Amarillo without the aid of modern technology and facing high-stakes operations with S.W.A.T and undercover teams. From high-speed chases and confronting drug cartels to experiencing the intense psychological challenges of undercover work, John opens up about the unpredictability and dangers inherent in police work. His stories of resilience extend beyond personal anecdotes, offering insights into the broader implications of law enforcement on community interactions, and the dual roles officers play in maintaining safety amidst chaos.This episode also highlights a poignant narrative of self-sufficiency, underscored by John's experience of confronting a staged insurance fraud incident that underscored the complexities of interpreting and navigating legal systems. John's journey from law enforcement to his current role as a business coach serves as an inspiring blueprint for anyone looking to overcome personal and professional hurdles. Through his stories, listeners will find an exploration of strength, growth, and the powerful drive to not only survive but thrive despite the odds.To learn more about John and his Life Coaching and Mentorship skills please visit: https://www.facebook.com/forgedphoenixlifehttps://www.instagram.com/forged.phoenix/Follow Wild Chaos on Social Media: Apple iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-wild-chaos-podcast/id1732761860Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5KFGZ6uABb1sQlfkE2TIoc?si=8ff748aa4fc64331 ⁠⁠⁠Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wildchaosshowYoutube: https://youtube.com/@wildchaos2308?si=8aj6bb-GgcsMhJw7TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@wildchaospodX (Twitter): ⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/thewildchaosMeta (Facebook): ⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/wildchaos/LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/wildchaos

I miss Amoeba Records in Hollywood. When I was working a few blocks north of there, I'd visit a few times a week during my lunch break. They had a warehouse full of oddities of all mediums and genres, books, films and memorabilia. It was on one of these mid day excursions that I came across an album entitled: “The Rough Guide to Psychedelic Africa”. This was earmarked and marketed for people just like me. The music contained therein varied quite a bit from my idea of psych, but I love discovering new stuff so I couldn't pass it by.“Guitar Boy” was one of the tracks on this collection, by Nigerian national hero - the musician, writer, sculptor, and musical instrument inventor Sir Victor Uwaifo (1941-2021), who achieved the very first gold record there with “Jeromi” in 1965. The genre is called High Life, developed in Ghana, a former British Colony on the west coast of Africa. It's style is immediately recognizable as Afro-Cuban, with it's fusion of Afro beats with western melodies played by guitars plucked in staccato arpeggios. Guitar Boy was banned for awhile because of it's connection to a failed coup in April '67, which was led by a Lt. Samuel Arthur (later executed), who marched prematurely into Broadcasting House Accra, announced the coup, and ordered the record to be played. Wow! You can't make this shit up.

Hosted by Emmy-winning talk show host Ricki Lake, The High Life brings us into Ricki's blissed-out world of joy and pleasure, featuring conversations with compelling guests who have cracked the code to living a full and vibrant life.

The High Life will elevate your spirits so you can discover how to live a life filled with calm, ease and a lot of f*cking fun. This week, we're delving into why women are asking for divorce way more than men. Why is that, and shouldn't that choice be met with celebration rather than pity? Ricki talks about her own divorces with Lyz Lenz, author of the recent memoir, “This American Ex-Wife: How I Ended my Marriage and Started my Life.” They get into finances (who keeps the house?), the perks of becoming single again (wine and murder podcasts!), and how to know if/when you're ready to remarry.

Born in West Philadelphia, Reef the Lost Cauze came up in hip-hop as a lethal battle-rap MC. He defeated opponents in all types of venues, from school grounds to grimy back alleys to professional competitions. His first two albums, The High Life (2002) and Invisible Empire (2003), were released locally and put his name on the map for Philadelphia's underground rap scene. In the years that followed his third album, a few local mixtapes were released, but the Philadelphia MC had success in doing several collaborations and features. He was invited into the Philadelphia crew JuJu Mob, who released their 2005 album Black Candles on Eastern Conference, as well as the underground super-collective Army of the Pharaohs.Reef the Lost Cauze has released 13 albums in total, the latest of which - The Triumphant - dropped earlier this year, and is his most introspective and reflective to date.  With this powerful work, Reef continues to pave a legacy of one of the finest MCs around.  Few have the rhyme and flow talent, but it is the stories he tells, and the perspective he offers you to share for a moment that truly sets him apart.Please join me as we spend time with Philadelphia's own, Reef the Lost Cauze.Be sure to catch him at Philly Music Fest on Fri 10/25 at Milkboy Philly along with (friends of the show) Kuf Knotz & Christine Elise, Queasy, and Catbite.  Or whenever you can get the chance to see him perform.  You will be amazed!Text us your thoughts on this episode, and who should be OUR #NextFavBand...As always, our hope is to bring you "your next favorite band".
