Howard Jacobson reflects on the radio essay, after almost two decades of A Point of View.With nods to Clive James, body-pierced baritones and with a plentiful supply of svelte notebooks, Howard explains why he believes the radio essay is 'more than words on paper'...why it captures the 'frolicsome spirit of truth'. And, Howard writes, 'at a time when we no longer have the concentration to read entire books, and what we do read leads us into the arms of madmen, we should love the shards of scepticism with which the best essays dazzle us.' Producer: Adele Armstrong Sound: Peter Bosher Production coordinator: Liam Morrey Editor: Penny Murphy

With Georgina Godwin.Booker Prize–winning author Howard Jacobson talks to Georgina Godwin about the questions at the heart of What Will Survive of Us? – whether love can survive marriage, betrayal and the passage of time.Event details:Thu 06 Mar, 9:30am | West Stage

Remember the days, Howard Jacobson implores us, when we got on fine with 'very'? Today, Howard argues, 'very' is not ‘very' enough for the times we live in.' In its place, 'incredible' and other supersized words, spreading 'verbal chaos.' Howard reflects on the dangers of over-inflated language, 'where words prance about without their clothes, shouting obscenities.'Producer: Adele Armstrong Sound: Peter Bosher Production coordinator: Gemma Ashman Editor: Richard Fenton-Smith

Matt and Daniel are joined by Palestinian-American comedian Bilal Sharmoug to witness limits - of Rabbi Ammiel Hirsch's commitment to tikkun olam - of British novelist Howard Jacobson's capacity to willfully misunderstand the Israel Palestine conflict - and and of the audience's tolerance for spotty Michael Caine impressions.Please donate to Doctors Without Borders: https://www.doctorswithoutborders.org/Follow Bilal Sharmoug: https://www.instagram.com/wellfedcomicSubscribe to the Patreon https://www.patreon.com/badhasbaraSubscribe/listen to Bad Hasbara wherever you get your podcasts.Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/5RDvo87OzNLA78UH82MI55Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bad-hasbara-the-worlds-most-moral-podcast/id1721813926Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/bad-hasbara/donationsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

As Israel has been mourning the mass killings and abductions by Hamas exactly a year ago, the conflict with Hezbollah in Lebanon has been escalating. We hear from an Israeli who survived the assault and from a Palestinian who's spent the last year in Gaza and get the latest on the fighting in Gaza and Lebanon. We also discuss the impact on British Jews with Booker Prize winning novelist Howard Jacobson. Plus, we hear an urgent call for the government to improve care for people with ME - or chronic fatigue syndrome - and we speak to one of the winners of the Nobel Prize for Medicine.

With the help of certain Conservative politicians, form number 48879-2039-876/WC and a rabbit hutch, Howard Jacobson takes a wry look at the advantages of a nanny state. Producer: Adele Armstrong Sound: Peter Bosher Production coordinator: Gemma Ashman Editor: Sarah Wadeson

When it comes to fast cars or literary festivals, Howard Jacobson reckons that, for the average male, there isn't usually much of a contest. 'You don't get as many men at a literary festival as you do on a street corner where there's a Lamborghini parked,' writes Howard. 'Or you didn't.' But he senses a change - and a new interest in men talking and reading about love. It's not that men find female characters too soft - rather, that they often find the male characters aren't soft enough. Producer: Adele Armstrong Sound: Peter Bosher Production coordinator: Gemma Ashman Editor: Richard Fenton-Smith

Following a recent incident in a London theatre where, it appears, Jewish Israelis were targeted by a comedian because they wouldn't stand for a Palestinian flag, Howard Jacobson reflects on the power of mockery and the liberation of laughter. 'Do the best comedians truly turn the world upside down', Howard asks, 'or do they merely strap us into a fairground roller-coaster so that we can feign fear and scream in unison?' He argues that the norms of outrage have been jettisoned in the reaction to events in Israel on October 7. 'Once the world is turned upside down,' he writes, 'humanity and justice fall like loose change from our pockets.' Producer: Adele Armstrong Sound: Peter Bosher Production coordinator: Liam Morrey Editor: Richard Fenton-Smith

Being in love is an act of carelessness of your own safety. It's risk! Sam and Lily are middle-aged lovers in Howard Jacobson's new novel and, in bed, they talk as much as anything else. Jacobson is rightly celebrated for his dialogue and, as so often before, it is rich with allusion and steeped in his passion for English literature. The novel is explicitly and unabashedly a love story and love was what Howard most wanted to talk about when we met.            “The minute you fall deeply in love … melancholy strolls into the garden”. For Lily and Sam love strikes with a thunderclap. Lily is in love at … Continue reading →

Different Christian denominations hold varying views on multiple topics. Over the past two thousand years, these doctrinal differences have often generated conflict, even to the point of religious wars. Despite huge variations in belief on some topics, however, one thing all Christian denominations agree on is that Jesus is the Son of God and the third person of the Trinity. They also believe that Jesus is the Christ—from the Greek chrīstós, a translation from the Hebrew Mašíaḥ, (messiah), meaning “anointed one.” But what do the Jewish people think about this? How does Judaism regard the Christian claim that Jesus is also the Hebrew Messiah? And how do practitioners of the Jewish religion, today, regard the historical figure of Jesus in general?  On this episode of the podcast, the hosts welcome back guest Joshua Stein, to discuss how Jews regard Jesus. Stein currently holds a postdoctoral fellowship at the Georgetown Institute for the Study of Markets and Ethics. His work focuses on intersections between moral, economic, and political theories and their practical application to social interactions between people and social institutions.  You can read more about this topic, and read some of Stein's writing, in these links: “What Do Jews Believe About Jesus?” by My Jewish Learning https://www.myjewishlearning.com/article/what-do-jews-believe-about-jesus/ “Six Reasons Why Jews Don't Believe in Jesus,” by Julius Ciss https://jewsforjudaism.org/knowledge/videos/six-reasons-why-jews-don-t-believe-in-jesus “Behold!

In this episode of the Plant Trainers Podcast, we share stories of inspiration in a time where we think many of us need to be inspired. Inspiration can be found in all different shapes and sizes. Sometimes we realize that we are being inspired and sometimes we only notice that it occurred when looking back. The best kind of inspiration is one that is completely unexpected. We have all had our turns to inspire and be inspired. Many of us touch the lives of others in a meaningful way on a daily basis. We don't always get thanked, but if our intention is to create positive energy and help other people we will always get something back whether we realize it or not. If everyone is continuously inspiring and paying it forward, quality of life will begin to improve. We share three stories that are like colourful threads in the fabric of life. From impacting students to engaging with other like-minded educators, come along with us as we also imagine riding bikes through the ups and downs of life with Adam and the late Sammy. We want to remember Sammy and celebrate the good things he taught us. Even when things are sad, this episode reminds us that good thoughts and learning can keep growing. We hope you enjoy this throwback episode. Share your takeaways on our Instagram @planttrainers.

Rejected by her usual publisher, Farewell Leicester Square is a novel by Betty Miller, written in 1935, exploring antisemitism, Jewishness and "marrying out". Marghanita Laski may now be best known for her contributions to broadcasting on programmes like The Brains Trust but was also a published author of many stories including The Victorian Chaise-Longue and Little Boy Lost. Both writers have now been republished by Persephone Books. Matthew Sweet's guests are the novelist Howard Jacobson, the academic Lisa Mullen and the author Lara Feigel. They explore the writers' lives and why they both abandoned writing fiction to focus on literary biographies. At the end of the discussion Howard Jacobson tells listeners “I very rarely hear people describing a novel that makes me want to read it - in fact if there is any listener out there who now does not want to read Marghanita Laski they are heartless.” Producer: Fiona McLean Betty Miller published 7 novels including Farewell Leicester Square and On the Side of the Angels (1945) and a biography of Robert Browning (1952). Marghanita Laski's books include To Bed with Grand Music (1946), Tory Heaven (1948), Little Boy Lost (1949), The Village (1952) and The Victorian Chaise-longue (1953), biographies of Jane Austen and George Eliot . She was also a prolific contributor to the Oxford English Dictionary (OED).

'Russell Brand winked at me in the street once', begins Howard Jacobson. He reflects on that chance encounter many years ago and the dishonourable role we all play in the creation of celebrity. 'We watched too much television; we rubbed the lamp and set the extremely egregious genie free; we saw a blank slate and wrote the words ourselves.' Producer: Adele Armstrong Sound: Peter Bosher Production coordinator: Gemma Ashman Editor: China Collins

Adam and Eve, Noah's Ark, Moses and the Ten Commandments, the parting of the Red Sea. These are a few of the stories from the Old Testament. And then there's the New Testament, with its account of the life of Jesus, the Good Samaritan, the raising of Lazarus and the feeding of the five thousand. Whatever our creed or background, these stories are embedded in our consciousness. They inform our everyday speech and much of our art, music and literature. But which of these books is the greater? For this archive episode, we gathered expert voices to consider the question including writer and broadcaster Anne Atkins, Booker Prize-winning novelist and journalist Howard Jacobson, Professor of Theology and Culture in the African Diaspora Robert Beckford, and Anglican priest and presenter the Rev. Richard Coles. Hosting the discussion is broadcaster, comedian and author David Baddiel.  We'd love to hear your feedback and what you think we should talk about next, who we should have on and what our future debates should be.  Send us an email or voice note with your thoughts to podcasts@intelligencesquared.com or Tweet us @intelligence2.  And if you'd like to get ad-free access to all Intelligence Squared podcasts, including exclusive bonus content, early access to new episodes and much more, become a supporter of Intelligence Squared today for just £4.99, or the equivalent in your local currency .  Just visit intelligencesquared.com/membership to find out more.

Howard Jacobson deplores the recent vandalising of Eric Gill's sculpture at BBC Broadcasting House as a failure to understand the meaning of art. 'Art, we go on protesting, is not the artist, but some will always believe that whatever is fashioned by evil hands must itself be evil,' he writes. 'If art and the artist were not distinct, the word art itself would have no meaning. For it denotes manufacture and artifice... not simple equation or reflection.' Producer: Sheila Cook Sound Engineer: Peter Bosher Editor: Richard Fenton-Smith Production Co-ordinator: Helena Warwick-Cross

After being given an amaryllis as a gift, Howard Jacobson wonders why he's never stared at a flower...until now. He ponder his life-long ignorance of flowers. Growing up, the family garden was a dumping ground for his dad's old trucks; seeds were something you fed to a budgerigar. 'And wasn't there a flower called An Enemy?' Howard asks. 'There you are then. I've had enough of those in life without finding more in the garden'. Producer: Adele Armstrong Sound: Peter Bosher Production coordinator: Helena Warwick-Cross Editor: Richard Fenton-Smith

In today's episode of The Plant Trainers Podcast we talk to Howard Jacobson, PhD all about Staying Motivated In Tough Times. It seems that people are finding it harder to stay motivated to live healthy, stay happy and balance life. Howie talks about connecting motivation to transformation. Wanting to be healthy isn't enough of a motivator for most people to actually reach their goals and and sustain them. We explore different options for higher level motivations, how they work, what they look like in practice, and how we can connect with them and use them. Josh LaJaunie comes up a lot in this podcast as he is a big inspiration for Howard's thoughts on motivation; so if you have not yet listened to PTP105 with Josh LaJaunie, you should consider going back and having a listen to that first.

Howard talks about becoming a writer at 40 and describes how his mother shaped his love of literature, relationship with religion and gift for writing Jewish characters.

Howard Jacobson reflects on why we look to comedy to see one year out and a new year in. Reflecting on the misbehaviour of a mischievous Australian cockatoo and a 'great mocking Rigoletto chorus' of shearwaters in the Canary Islands, he considers whether he may himself have been a bird in an earlier life, as he celebrates the way animals rescue us from self-importance - and help us imagine a funnier, fairer world. Producer: Adele Armstrong Sound: Peter Bosher Production coordinator: Iona Hammond Editor: Richard Fenton-Smith

From boyhood, through young adulthood, to the present day, Howard Jacobson ponders his relationship with dancing. As summer festivals get underway across the UK, Howard tries to understand the attraction.

In a debate that spans centuries created in partnership with Sotheby's, we hear from Peabody Award-winning spoken-word performer George the Poet and Booker Prize-winning author Howard Jacobson about whether modern-day genres such as hip-hop and slam poetry speak more to society today than the storytelling found in centuries-old classics. Or does the lasting appeal of Shakespeare and other great figures like him show that some works have a universal value that stands the test of time?

The Booker prize winning English novelist on disappointing his parents, the time before he was a writer, and his gift for unhappiness

Howard Jacobson reflects on his upcoming 'significant birthday' and why he's become a willing participant in the ways of personal trainers. 'I say trainer but I am past training,' writes Howard. 'He's more my stretcher. My wife's stretcher, actually, but she doesn't want to be stretched while I shrink. I refused to have him at first. But I capitulated. It was either that or watch my wife by stretched to twice my length'. So down on the floor he goes, 'hoping someone - anyone - will think I'm a weekend younger than I actually am'.

"It is a terrible thing to be in possession of a truth that people don't want to hear," writes Howard Jacobson. By way of Primo Levi, the great chronicler of the Holocaust, Coleridge's 'The Ancient Mariner' and stories emerging today from Ukraine, Howard argues that stories of truth must be listened to, no matter how uncomfortable or challenging we find them. "No deceit is ever so perfected," he says, "that it doesn't require the connivance of the deceived".

This week, Thea Lenarduzzi and Lucy Dallas are joined by the critic Nelly Kaprièlian and the TLS's French editor Russell Williams to discuss ‘Anéantir', the latest novel by France's best-known and maybe most controversial writer, Michel Houellebecq; the TLS's Toby Lichtig talks us through a new memoir by the ‘pre-eminent author of British Jewish novels', Howard Jacobson, and we consider a masterclass in sympathy from Anne Tyler, a tale of revenge by Japan's ‘Queen of mysteries', and a wartime reckoning in Finland.‘Anéantir' by Michel Houellebecq‘Mother's Boy: A writer's beginnings' by Howard Jacobson‘French Braid' by Anne Tyler‘Lady Joker: Volume one' by Kaoru Takamura, translated by Marie Iida and Allison Markin Powell ‘Land of Snow & Ashes' by Petra Rautiainen, translated by David HackstonProduced by Sophia Franklin See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The most difficult prose to write is the prose that is easiest to read.Writing on weighty matters is easy, if you are well-informed on those weighty matters. But any honest writer will admit—in a cloud of envy laced with a silver lining of admiration—that supermarket paperbacks such as whodunits and stories for kids are exceptionally difficult to write.Even more difficult are potboiler romances. My guest today is Milan Vohra—a writer, to be admired for this reason.About 10 years ago, she was the author of the first Mills & Boon romance to be authored by an Indian. This was no easy achievement. For years, Mills & Boon has had its principally female-readership in its thrall. Several women have described these romances as a rite of passage sort of thing. It starts around the coming of age. And does not stop.Of course, curious men have immersed themselves discreetly in these romantic novels…and sadly, learned nothing.Milan's writing is not fluffy and sugary. Her writing often pulls to the darker side of emotions and her novels lurk in the murky junction of sex, infatuation and other human emotion.When you add her quick and underlying humour, the mix is something which regular humans understand.Now that I have laid bare her soul, let's meet the person.Milan Vohra has written five books, ‘The Love Asana' (with Harlequin,2010), which made her the first Indian Mills & Boon author, ‘Tick-tock we're 30', (with Westland 2013, and soon to be seen on the screen), ‘Our Song' (with HarperCollins, 2019). ‘Head over heels' and ‘Mates, Dates & Double Takes' a collection of contemporary short stories about first love (2021). Milan is also a TEDx speaker, a short story writer and an award winning advertising professional.

Simon and Rachel speak with novelist Howard Jacobson. Born in Manchester, Howard spent his early career as an academic and published his first novel, "Coming from Behind," in 1983.

Do you have a fear of eating too many carbohydrates? Do you think carbohydrates make you gain weight? If you do, you have Carbophobia. Where did this fear of carbs come from? In his book, “The Low-Carb Fraud”, T. Colin Campbell, PhD tells us. Back in 1972, Dr. Robert Atkins wrote a book called, “The Atkins Diet Revolution”. It wasn't very popular, so several years later, in the 1980's when there was a lot of talk about obesity, especially obesity in America, Dr. Atkins decided to re-market his book. In 1988 he revised and republished it with the title, “Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution”. In this book, he proclaims that obesity is not caused by eating fat, it's caused by eating too many carbs. He advocates severely restricting carbohydrate intake and getting most of your calories from fat and protein. I've never had a fear of eating carbohydrates, but even as a child when I had a hamburger if I didn't want to finish my hamburger my parents told me to eat the meat and leave the bun. Today it is common for people to eat high fat, high protein and restrict and even avoid carbohydrates altogether because they believe carbs will make you fat. Modern versions of what started as the Atkins diet are the South Beach Diet, the Paleo Diet and the Zone Diet. For a person who has been eating a lot of processed carbs as well as a high fat, high protein diet, to severely restrict the amount of processed carbs that they've been eating can result in quick weight-loss. But what's wrong with this approach? 1. Low carb diets are very unhealthy and have long-term health consequences. 2. Low carb diets lumps all carbohydrates into the same category, whether they are whole foods plant-based carbs or processed carbs. By doing so, it confuses people and leads them to believe that all carbs are the same and all are bad and should be avoided. That simply is not true. 3. Low-carb diets emphasizes fat and cholesterol and proclaims them as nutritional heroes that should be increased in a person's diet. In reality, fat and cholesterol are the cause of many of our modern day health problems such as cardiovascular disease, arteriosclerosis, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease to name a few. 4. A very restrictive diet of any kind, low-carb diet or otherwise is simply not sustainable. Whatever weight is lost from such a restrictive diet is ultimately gained back along with even more weight. In contrast, a whole-foods, plant-based lifestyle isn't restrictive. We don't count, weigh or measure our food and we eat until we're satisfied. Dr. Michael Greger says low carb diets cripple people's arteries. Wow! That's enough of a reason right there to not eat a low-carb diet! By definition, a low-carb diet emphasizes animal based foods, whereas a low fat diet emphasizes a plant-based diet. The healthiest way to fight obesity is to eat a whole foods plant-based diet that emphasizes whole foods that are high in nutrients, high in fiber, low in sodium, low in saturated fat, and very low in cholesterol, while at the same time steering clear of processed foods. Note the word “processed,” because these foods are low in nutrients, low in fiber, high in sodium, high in saturated fat and high in cholesterol. We highly recommend the book, “The Low Carb Fraud” by T. Colin Campbell, PhD and Howard Jacobson, PhD which fully explains the danger of a low carb diet.

Today's guest is Deborah Kaufmann, VP of Literary Affairs at Legendary Entertainment. Translated into lay, non-Hollywood terms, this means that Deborah is some sort of in-house scout for Legendary, in charge of finding literary properties that can be adapted to the big or small screen. As you'll find out, such properties can include books, but also unpublished short stories, podcasts, and news and magazine articles. It was fascinating to get to know Deborah's work a bit more in depth, and to hear her thoughts on the current state of the movie business and the revolution brought about by streaming giants such as Netflix and Amazon. Show Notes Deborah's book recommendations: - Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro - Hidden Valley Road by Robert Kolker - Weather by Jenny Offill About Deborah: Since 2014, Deborah Kaufmann has been overseeing acquisitions of literary properties for Legendary Entertainment's film and TV divisions, and working in New York.

In this episode, I share a personal coaching session that I conducted with Ian Lawton, host of the Workshed Podcast.

Happy New Year! I come to you today from the cab of my truck, in my driveway, to talk about the fact that my new office isn't ready to move in, and it's January 1, and it's kind of driving me crazy. I don't even have access to my studio, my computer, my completed interviews - nothing. Everything is in tight storage, because I thought the new office would be ready for me by New Year's Eve. (That's a photo of me in my old office, which has returned to its old role as child's bedroom...
