Again, that’s businessmakers.network. Why is the soundtrack Epic which is about Homer’s Odyssey, suddenly so popular? Our writer Clarissa Alexandria created an article about this, and we can see that there are a few different reasons that could explain Epic's success, varying from the soundtrack’s content to its audience. For example, the music itself is good and fits the story, but that’s not the only thing. It also seems like the soundtrack has become popular for both what it is saying and to whom it is saying those things to. Epic centers around the story of the Odyssey, which deals with story themes that easily resonate in our world, as our writer Clarissa Alexandria points out: "It follows themes of exile, temptation, descent, and eventual renewal that should feel familiar to anyone who has studied the Scriptures or consumed a good story of any variety in their life." (https://www.crosspoliticnews.com/news/an-epic-alternative-to-woke-hollywood) Our broken culture relates to these themes because they understand the journey of Odysseus. His character lives through their own problems and experience, so people gravitate towards his story. For example, they understand his longing for home, because so many people feel the lack of real, good homes in our world. And yet while this cultural tie is strong, Epic also contains themes that are found in the Bible, which is also why these stories are so effective. After all, they align with how God designed the world. Meanwhile, on a different note, our reporter Justin Chartray wrote about how the State of Washington is having trouble trying to figure out how to deal with its taxes because while the liberals want to raise taxes, they are meeting opposition from the governor, even though he’s also a liberal. So, what’s going on in Washington State? Well, we can see that it has been very liberal recently in respect to their recent recognition of Muslim holidays, their attack on gun rights, and their unlawful orders against parental rights, but, as I just mentioned, its government can’t decide what to do with taxes yet. One of the reasons this tax issue is important is because Washington State needs a $12-15 billion deficit in order to uphold its current programs and bureaucracy. In order to pay for all this, Republicans want the state to withdraw from areas that the government should not concern itself with, such as education and immigration. Unsurprisingly, the democrats don’t want to lower the budget this way, though. Instead, they would prefer increasing everyone’s taxes, specifically targeting property taxes and rich people. With these property taxes, Washington State's government would want to keep changing the amount of taxes in order to match the growth of society and other outside conditions. But there’s a problem here. If the amount of taxes changes continually because it is dependent on variables that frequently change, then there is no truly objective wall or limit that could stop its government from demanding very heavy taxes. Nevertheless, these increased taxes would seem to meet the $15 billion budget deficit, but it would be through taxing people uninvolved with that deficit. However, while most of the liberals in power seem eager to adopt this strategy, the newest governor of Washington, Bob Ferguson, has rejected this plan. It appears that he doesn’t want to raise taxes to make the money they need. Despite his previous liberal actions, such as trying to sue the presidency of Trump almost a hundred times during Trump’s first time in office, Governor Ferguson is actually making a more Republican decision right now by rejecting these increased taxes. Did he change political parties? Our journalist Justin Chartray doesn’t think so: "No, Bob Ferguson has not become a conservative overnight. What he may represent is a rare callback to the previous generation of liberals; socially progressive but fiscally conservative. A dinosaur. A relic. A man woefully out of step with his progressive comrades and now, a fly in the ointment for their unending lust of the rich man’s gold." (https://www.crosspoliticnews.com/news/division-at-the-top) So, even though Ferguson isn’t a Republican or Conservative, he is still making a solid leadership move that serves the citizens of Washington State, who now have the opportunity to fight back against these unjust laws. We should pray that he continues this.

Zvu vás k poslechu další epizody podcastu Jedno procento, kam si zvu lidi, které mám rád, kterých si vážím nebo kteří mě zajímají. Odhaduju, že jich je v populaci minimálně jedno procento, takže zásoba budoucích hostů je stále velká.Tím dnešním je Vojtěch Bednář, muž, kterého Wikipedie označuje za firemního sociologa, on sám sebe vidí jako boomerskou konzervu a já ho znám ze sociálních sítí či publikovaných textů jako chytrého glosátora.O čem jsme si povídali? O spoustě věcí, mimo jiné o tom, jak odnačit opice, aby sahaly na banány, taky o tom, proč se z hippies v šedesátých letech staly o dvě desetiletí později Homer či Marge Simpsonovi, anebo třeba i o sličných myších.Přeju hezký poslech!Shrnutí jako obvykle napsal podle záznamu celé epizody Sonnet 3.7 Claude.Na rozhraní světů: Firemní sociolog Vojtěch Bednář o řádu uprostřed chaosuBednář, firemní sociolog a sebeproklamovaná "bumerská konzerva", přináší do rozhovoru pozoruhodnou směsici teoretického vhledu a praktických zkušeností z terénu lidských vztahů."Mně udělá obrovskou radost, kdykoliv se povede někoho potěšit, někoho pochválit nebo někomu ukázat, že je dobrý," říká s porozumění tomu, co lidi skutečně motivuje. "Největší radost nám udělá to, co dáme, ne to, co dostaneme."Za nenápadnou fasádou konzervativního gosátora se skrývá muž, jehož profesí je vstupovat do firemního prostředí jako krizový diplomat. Živí se rozmotáváním propletenců osobních konfliktů a vytvářením funkčních kolektivů z rozdělených táborů. "Když jsou někde ONI, tak jsme MY. A podél osy MY versus ONI má tendenci vznikat nevraživost, řevnivost a nakonec konflikt," vysvětluje.Bednářovo myšlení je ukotveno v hluboké fascinaci společenskými mechanismy. S lehkostí vyprávěče přechází od sovětských dálkově ovládaných autíček svého dětství k myšlenkovým experimentům s opicemi ilustrujícím vznik kulturních tabu. "Vytvořili jsme tabu. Tohle je kultura," uzavírá s úsměvem vyprávění o experimentu, kde opice dodržují pravidla, aniž by věděly proč.A co jiné jsme my, lidé, než sofistikované opice v oblecích?Jako konzervativec vidí Bednář určitou nevyhnutelnost v tom, jak se i ty nejrebelnější generace nakonec přikloní k tradičním hodnotám. "Naprostá většina amerických hippies ze šedesátých let se během dekády stala naprosto průměrnými lidmi. Člověk, který byl v roce 1969 hrdým příslušníkem květinových dětí, se stal v osmdesátých letech Homerem Simpsonem."Navzdory konzervativnímu založení není Bednář nepřítelem pokroku. Jeho postoj k umělé inteligenci balancuje mezi fascinací a opatrností. "Je to sice fajn, je to hezká věc, že to máme, je spousta krásných aplikací, dělá to obrázky, píše to texty, zahraje to písničku, všechno je to skvělý, ale byl bych pořád velmi na pozoru, co se týká kvality výatupů."Na otázku, jak se cítí spokojený na stupnici od jedné do deseti, volí “solidní osmičku”. Je to odpověď, která odráží jeho pragmatický přístup k životu: spokojenost bez rouhání se, s vědomím, že je kam růst. A co by jeho štěstí posunulo na devítku? "Musel bych opravit barák," odpovídá s úsměvem muž, který dokáže nacházet radost v postupném budování základů, ať už jde o stavby nebo lidské vztahy.Bednářova životní filosofie se možná nejlépe odráží v radě, kterou dává svým pěti dětem: "Pracovat, pracovat, pracovat a v žádném případě neustávat v jakékoliv činnosti." V době, kdy jsme zaplaveni pasivní konzumací informací, zastává Bednář aktivní přístup a neustálé vylepšování.A jak vidí budoucnost? S optimismem temperovaným realismem: "Za 10 let bude svět lepší než je teď. Ale když si potom tu otázku položíme opačně, tak budeme říkat, že je horší, než byl před 10 lety."

Emily Wilson’s name on the cover of a book is a likely sign that it will be a bestseller. But she isn’t an author, and the books are unlikely fan favorites. Wilson has made a name for herself translating classic Greek texts - most notably Homer’s "The Odyssey" in 2017 and "The Iliad" in 2023. Wilson’s translations have gained a cult following and opened up these classics to a new generation of readers. She joins us in front of an audience of Lincoln High School students.

Who are the most symbolic mid 20th century American Jews? In Eminent Jews, New Yorker staff writer David Denby tells the remarkable stories of Leonard Bernstein, Mel Brooks, Betty Friedan, and Norman Mailer. He explains how each embodied a new Jewish confidence after WWII, contrasting with earlier generations' restraint. Each figure pushed boundaries in their own way - Bernstein through his musical versatility, Brooks through his boundary-pushing humor about Jewish experiences, Friedan through her feminist theories, and Mailer through his provocative writing style. Five key takeaways * Post-WWII Jewish Americans displayed a newfound confidence and willingness to stand out publicly, unlike previous generations who were more cautious about drawing attention to their Jewishness.* The four figures in Denby's book (Bernstein, Brooks, Friedan, and Mailer) each embraced their Jewish identity differently, while becoming prominent in American culture in their respective fields.* Mel Brooks used humor, particularly about Jewish experiences and historical trauma, as both a defense mechanism and a way to assert Jewish presence and resilience.* Each figure pushed against the restraint of previous Jewish generations - Bernstein through his expressive conducting and openness about his complex sexuality, Friedan through her feminist activism, and Mailer through his aggressive literary style.* Rejecting the notion that a Jewish "golden age" has ended, Denby believes that despite current challenges including campus anti-Semitism, American Jews continue to thrive and excel disproportionately to their population size.David Denby is a staff writer at The New Yorker. He served as a film critic for the magazine from 1998 to 2014. His first article for The New Yorker, “Does Homer Have Legs?,” published in 1993, grew into a book, “Great Books: My Adventures with Homer, Rousseau, Woolf, and Other Indestructible Writers of the Western World,” about reading the literary canon at Columbia University. His other subjects for the magazine have included the Scottish Enlightenment, the writers Susan Sontag and James Agee, and the movie directors Clint Eastwood and the Coen brothers. In 1991, he received a National Magazine Award for three of his articles on high-end audio. Before joining The New Yorker, he was the film critic at New York magazine for twenty years; his writing has also appeared in The Atlantic, The New York Review of Books, and The New Republic. He is the editor of “Awake in the Dark: An Anthology of Film Criticism, 1915 to the Present” and the author of “American Sucker”; “Snark”; “Do the Movies Have a Future?,” a collection that includes his film criticism from the magazine; and “Lit Up,” a study of high-school English teaching.

The Joker famously believed that all it took to drive someone insane was one bad day. But Gordon didn't have to go through what MLB pitchers did 25 years ago this week, on April 7, 2000, when batters hit a combined 57 home runs around the league, setting a new record. Mike and Bill look back on this absolutely wild day and the players who made it so, finding significant milestones, the start and end of careers, and a whole lot of weirdness. Plus, happy birthday to Red Smith and Fred Frankhouse! And farewell to Eddie Fisher and Felipe Montemayor.

Who are you, how are you supposed to live, and what about happiness? Answers to age-old questions are offered in classic myths about heroes, gods, and monsters, and at the ballgame. In The Ancient Wisdom of Baseball (Greenleaf, 2025), author Christian Sheppard interweaves Homer's epics with glorious stories from the green fields of America's pastime, celebrating Achilles' courage and Odysseus' cunning along with the virtues of Hall of Fame players such as Jackie Robinson and Babe Ruth and of great teams such as the 2004 Red Sox and the 2016 Cubs. Along the way, Sheppard humorously recollects trying to raise his baby daughter true to the teachings of ancient myth and his beloved game. The result is an endearing, insightful, and inspiring guide to cultivating virtue and becoming the hero of your own life's odyssey. Christian Sheppard holds a PhD in Religion and Literature from the University of Chicago where he taught the “Great Books” for over a decade.

Join us for a richly informative exploration of the central role of muscle in human life and health. Michael Joseph Gross, author of the new book Stronger, will share his urgent call for each of us to recognize muscle as “the vital, inextricable and effective partner of the soul.” Gross draws on everything from the battlefields of the Trojan War in Homer's Iliad, where muscles enter the scene of world literature; to the all-but-forgotten Victorian-era gyms on both sides of the Atlantic, where women build strength and muscle by lifting heavy weights; to a retirement home in Boston, where a young doctor makes the astonishing discovery that frail 90-year-olds can experience the same relative gains of strength and muscle as 30-year-olds if they lift weights. These surprising tales play out against a background of clashing worldviews, an age-old competition between athletic trainers and medical doctors to define our understanding and experience of muscle. In this conflict, muscle got typecast: Simplistic binaries of brain-versus-brawn created a persistent prejudice against muscle, and against weight training, the type of exercise that best builds muscular strength and power. Come hear how Gross looks at muscle and weight training in a whole new light. He'll be in conversation with Guy Raz for a discussion about how all of us, from elite powerlifters to people who have never played sports at all, can learn to lift weights in ways that yield life's ultimate prize: the ability to act upon the world in the ways that we wish.

Visit drjohnwprice.com to explore the new site and sign up for the free live webinar on May 14th at 7:00pm CST—a communal space to deepen this work together. In this first solo episode of The Sacred Speaks, I open the door to a new format—one that invites reflection, story, and personal encounter. We begin with mentorship. Drawing from Homer's Odyssey, we explore the sacred roots of the mentor archetype. I offer reflections on what mentorship has meant in my life—from the early days as a musician to the path of a seeker—and trace the thread through conversations with two giants in this work: Father Richard Rohr and Dr. James Hollis. We'll move through the terrain of masculine energy, myth, music, therapy, and spiritual awakening—touching on what it means to be shaped by others and what it might mean to become a shaping force ourselves. I also share where the podcast is headed, including an upcoming turn toward the feminine. You're invited to consider your own mentors—those seen and unseen—and how they've helped guide your becoming.
